The Chrono Cross Original Soundtrack is a soundtrack of the music from Chrono Cross, composed by Yasunori Mitsuda. The soundtrack spans three discs and 67 tracks, covering a duration of 3 hours. It was published by DigiCube on December 18, 1999, and reprinted by Square Enix on June 29, 2005.
Xenogears contributor Tomohiko Kira played guitar on the beginning and ending themes. Noriko Mitose, selected for the role by Masato Kato, sang the ending song "Radical Dreamers ~ Unstolen Jewel ~". Ryo Yamazaki, a synthesizer programmer for Square Enix, helped Mitsuda transfer his ideas to the PlayStation's sound capabilities. The soundtrack has been described as having "some of the most haunting melodies known to man". The "Home World" tracks from the soundtrack have been termed "emotional", "driving" and "striking", while the "Another World" tracks are described as "slower", "dreamier", and more "serene" then their counterparts.
The soundtrack won the Gold Prize for Sony's PlayStation Awards of 2000. It was praised by reviewers such as Patrick Gann of RPGFan, who called it his favorite video game music soundtrack of all time and especially praised the vocals in "Radical Dreamers ~ Unstolen Jewel ~". This high opinion was echoed by Don of Square Enix Music Online, who called it "one of Mitsuda's best, both in and out of [the] context" of the game and said that it "surpasses his Chrono Trigger soundtrack". He singled out "Scars of Time" and "Radical Dreamers" as especially worthy of praise. IGN, in their review of the game, termed the soundtrack "a brilliant score" that "does wonders in stirring the emotional strings of the players as they're playing through the game". IGN praised the technical sound quality of the soundtrack as well, though they did comment that for them no specific tracks stood out as especially memorable. In a separate piece about Japanese RPG composers, however, IGN called "Scars of Time" and "Arni Village - Home World" as two of Mitsuda's most memorable tracks in naming him the second best out of ten behind Nobuo Uematsu.

  • 0:58 When it gets to this part it makes me just want to have a chariot chase with someone in a middle eastern country!:P

  • I always get relaxed and sad when i hear this song its like got this dark melody that tugs at heartstrings.

    Btw does anyone else completely visualize the opening for the game when this song is on? -I watched it so many times I can literaly play out everything thats happening in my mind-

  • I've been trying so hard to find a good next gen rpg - but a half decent game is hard to find. Virtually almost all my rpgs are from the PS2 PS1 SNES era. I hope they fix this soon because the glory days of rpgs is obviously gone.

  • this song is very good, make me think on European dark age...

  • Wow. Has a bit of native american in it.

    LOVE IT!!!
