A few comments from the author (inichi):
"Finally, I made it. I'm sorry for keeping the entire movie-making process secret (...). The expected improvement was so gigantic that I couldn't resist an inpulse to make the run surprising. (...) * This is a long-term project; I started making the run in August 2007. * Chrono Trigger is a very popular RPG, and not a few people have been interested in how the run is going.

Thanks
(in no particually order)

* Bisqwit - For running the whole TAS Videos community. He is also one of them who tried to make a CT TAS.
* Geiger - Using his Snes9x debugger, I could develop the item duplication glitch into the setup for a game-breaking glitch. Also his various texts on his CT hacking results were very informative and helpful.
* Gocha(悟茶) - I learned how to make a TAS from his web site. He also has fixed various bugs and implemented some good features on Snes9x 1.51.
* Hero of the Day - Watching his TAS, I decided to make a CT speedrun. He developed lots of good boss strategies, all of which are just plain awesome. I used most of them in my speedrun, some in my test TAS.
* Mashmallow - I refereed his movie on SDA several times when I tried to break his record.
* Molotov - He introduced my first CT speedrun to SDA and TAS videos, which broadened my perspective and has finally brought me here.
* Nanashi(七誌) - He implied there were more tricks that I had not known then,　which motivated me to discover new tricks more and more.
* Okuto(オクト) - A Japanese CT speedrunner. It was his reports on his run that I first knew about CT speedrun.
* Roydy(ロイディ) - A very skillful Japanese CT speedrunner. he made a 100% CT run on console and even found some useful tricks for TAS.
* Ryuuou Leo(竜王レオ) - A website manager of Japanese CT site, providing a community to discuss CT speedrun. He is also a good CT player.
* Saturn - I learned how to make an optimized CT TAS by analyzing his new game+ TAS.
* Tilus - At the beginning of making a CT speedrun, I followed his posts one by one, which were really suggestive and helpful.

And finally, I would really thank to all the people on TASvideos. If you had not been, I would never be able to make this run. I'd really appreciate it.

I hope you will enjoy the run! "

This video is a TAS meaning it was played on an emulator using tools, such as savestates to undo mistakes and slowdown to allow precise input, to overcome human limitations. The objective of a TAS is to show the game pushed to it's limits, without the constraints of human skills and reflexes.

I liked how about 4:00 of this was dedicated to the clock pendulum swinging x_x.
