I bought a $700 digital piano and piano lessons at 38 years old because of you and this soundtrack. Hearing and seeing this video changed me from always wanting to learn an instrument as a life long dream that was never acted on, to my soul finally NEEDING to play an instrument to bring that dream to reality. Your work is the catalyst to spark my journey. I just got through my first month of lessons and practices. I can only practice 30 minutes a day, but it means more to me than anything. I'll never be able to repay the gift you've given to me Mr. TPR. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. -Ron
Did the same exact thing almost a year ago and got my Chrono Trigger piano book from Japan 2 weeks ago. Obviously not skilled enough to play a lot of stuff in it but it's only a matter of time!
I must admit, the far future must have been my favorite time period. The music was abstract, the pixel art was unlike anything I'd seen and the overall feel was hopeless. Absolutely perfect.
I totally agree, the pace and addictive nature was top grade. for 16 bit, but Sega had awesome 16 bit Disney Games, remember Aladdin n Duck Tales. RPGs of SnES were just master pieces ff6 and mana are no exception.
Especially when you put it together with Crono Cross. Once you see the complete story and how it actually all revolves around Schala, it is truly something epic. I wish they would do a remake that combines the two games into one.
Making both games into ONE would be impossible, plus the amount of time, it would take to edit, and rearrange timelines, I'd be happy to see a ANIME, that plays as the games did, to help bring all story lines together, third part, had a rumor taking it's heroes, beyond the end of time, with Janus/Magus, as they did in trigger, to finally finish off lavos outside all possible timelines after the detachment of Schala from Lavos from Trigger and Cross, and finally putting a end to Lavos/Time Devour. I would love this to become a Anime, as in ATTACK ON TITAN, keep it dark with light humor to keep it grounded.
37:20 Who else tried to lie at the trial and was completely caught red-handed? I was so SHOCKED when this happened!! When the witnesses came out and testified about what I did... Damn! I had NEVER seen a game do that before and it was SO trippy! Where in Zelda 3 did you have anyone complain about the pots you broke? Where in FFVI do you get called out for taking things from people's treasure boxes? The whole trial scene in this game was so unconventional and creative!
Secrets of Evermore has lots of Easter Eggs, like FFVI sprites and totally calling you out as "An invisible button pressing overlord". But it never told you if you go to Lances' house and did not loot his attic (4 treasure chests) he would bestow you a new spell "Lance".
@@ponyforhire ever tried naming the Boy in SOE 'fuck'? talk to the skeleton ferryman in the desert and see what he does XD (also Lance ended up being my favorite offense formula)
You can't tell me that Frog's Theme isn't one of the greatest pieces of music for any game ever. It contains both hurt and hope, both light and dark. It's triumphant in it's bravado but not without the caution that painful experience will bring.
@DarthKrickets416 I just really like that we can consume and talk about video game music in this way: as legitimate, exprssive, artistic pieces, rather than afterthoughts in some unproductive past time. #ludomusicology

Whenever I hear it, I remember playing Dungeons & Dragons with my friends back in college. Then it hits me how much I miss adventuring with them now that we have all grown up and gone our separate ways.
Just after few notes from Corridors Of Time, my eyes got wet instantly. It's 7:26 am, I need to work, but my mind is already somewhere in 1000 A.D, searching for emotions and memories, created by this masterpiece.
Fact: when composing the music for this game, Yasunori Mitsuda's computer got fried and he lost the entirety of his work (-the soundtrack was mostly complete, too!). He had to recompose it again within a very short timeline, which led to much stress and him having to step down when he became really ill as a result. Uematsu stepped in to finish the rest of the soundtrack. I wonder how similar/different the original soundtrack was??? Hmm...
Uematsu did say that he didn't really composed anything himself. Everything was already kind of done and he just completed what Mitsuda couldn't complete himself.
Beautiful! This soundtrack always takes me back. It's weird to think that this game came out 20 years ago. I got it for Christmas from my grandmother, and she's been gone for over 10 years now too. mono no aware...
I'm just starting to learn piano at 33 years old and TPR was nearly the sole inspiration to do so. I've been listening for a few years now and finally decided if I wanted to do it there was nothing stopping me but myself.
32 year old beginner here myself. I've had the desire since I was but a young lad playing these games for the first time, but life never afforded me the opportunity until I decided this is something I needed in my life.
im gonna make a bold statement here: i think if Chrono Trigger had a regular boring sountrack then you and i reading this comment would not have heard about it cuz its popularity would not have lasted into this century. Thanks Yasunori. You gave an amazing gift to humanity.
I remember saving money from chores to buy it on release day. I was 14 when it came out. I still have the cartridge somewhere. The game is timeless not just for it's awesome music. It has a great story, a good art style, good graphics for it's time, and multiple endings. It's not just a good example of the beautiful music that came from the RPG's of the era, it's arguably the best example of a 90's RPG. FFVI and similar RPG's are good but too slow for some. Secret of Mana and Zelda are good but all action and relatively light on story. Chrono Trigger sits perfectly in the middle of their play styles while adding a colorful anime-like art style. The amazing music just cemented it's timelessness.
Haha... I suppose it's not exactly the same, but I remember being in middle school when things were just starting to globalize. No TH-cam, no Facebook, everyone was just getting comfortable with the internet. AOL was a thing, as was MSN messenger. Anyway, I ended up ordering a Japanese copy of the Xenogears soundtrack because I loved it so much. Took six weeks to get shipped, and it was like $40, weeks of chores. You're right. That's the power of Yasunori Mitsuda... and a good game in general!
Don't forget, Nobuo Uematsu stepped in to help Yasunori when he gave himself ulcers working on CT. Doens't come as much of a surprise when you listen to the soundtrack. What a team!
My brother and I grew up on this game and when he passed away in 2020, I feel like this game and it's music is the biggest and only connection I have with him. This music hurts me but also revives me?? Thank you
My father bought this game for me when I was just a boy, he told me if I were to be like crono I was bound to find my marle. One of the last things he said to me, when I reached 22 years old I completed it for the first time. I was always so scared to see this story end. I wished I never done that. I love this game from the bottom of my heart.
Don't think that way at all... just like the Entity may have pulled Chrono and the others through time... so you... and all of us were compelled to complete the story, and the journey... and maybe even for all of us to meet here as well. Look at all the comments about people remembering the past and plans to share this journey with their children. Being apart of this isn't something to regret at all, in my opinion. Now, go out and live your life. Live YOUR story. "Chrono... Wake up, Chrono..." ;)
Chrono Trigger to this date is the best video game I have ever played, in my opinion the story and the music is timeless. I've beat it countless times and always seem to come back to it every year or two. Thank you so much for making this album!!! It's such a good version of all the songs from the game. Really good job man, I wish I could watch you performing the whole album as a set.
Goosebumps man...so nostalgic. I jus wana smoke weed n relax let all my troubles go. Remember the times of being young n not a worry Amazing how a game with no spoken dialogue jus reading n music has captured all of us in such way. ❤❤
This wonderful arrangements reminds me of one of the beautiful facets of the game; the essential mood of dread and hopelessness that was captured - due in no small part to the music, the situation of "against all odds" that so many other works of fiction *say* is happening but never actually convey that feeling. And despite the sense of inevitable loss and isolation, having just a rag-tag team of oddball characters from all across time, they have the courage to face a horror beyond their comprehension, while their death or victory will go unnoticed by the world.
Acho a trilha sonora do Chrono Trigger uma obra de arte. Não é a toa que muitas Filarmônicas, Orquestras e outros grupos musicais fazem interpretações até hoje dessas peças. Acabei de conhecer esse álbum End of Time agora e fico impressionado em ver que a chama desse jogo ainda se mantém viva. O game é da década de noventa e esse álbum é de 2015, ou seja, mais de vinte anos se passaram e ainda assim a magia desse jogo continua forte. Chega me emociono, é muita nostalgia. Belo álbum, gostei mesmo, estou escutando ele neste exato momento e escrevendo esse pequeno texto. Vida longa a Nubuo Uematsu e Yasunori Mitsuda.
One of the most amazing and inspirig sound tracks of all tim its a shame there are so many that will never exeriemce this mastepiece still gives me chlls at 36 yeas old
36:20 the best 30 seconds of this magnificent soundtrack. I'm serious. and these arrangements are wonderful. arranger obviously understands the driving force in the original melodies and respects it. less is more
Some things are timeless. The wonder of this medley is that it's one of the few things to prove 'timeless' doesn't mean impossible to look at anew. Wonderful reinterpretations.
I... I think I played this as a child... It's like a long forgotten dream reamerging in a blurry mist. I can't remember more than the feeling of wonder I got from playing this, and the music is tugging at my heart in such a strange and profound way. I wish I remembered. I feel like I lost something beautiful and precious.
I just thought to listen to this masterpiece while I'm doing college essays. When I heard the sound of the clock in the beginning, I was already having goosebumps, and my mind was flooded with memories that I have with this game. I never regretted that I replayed Chrono Trigger a lot of times before when I was a kid when I still had a lot of spare time... I love Chrono Trigger and it will be my only favorite game no matter how much I played lots of different and amazing games in my life...
best game ever!, This and FFVI are my favorite games of all time. I am playing FFXV and although is an ok game, it doesn't come close to FFVI and Chrono Trigger. Great music man!
not sure what it is about to far away times. One of the best songs written, yet so very depressing at times, maybe cause its the crew breaking up and going back to their own times. Maybe its just music evoking that emotion. I dont think it was meant to be a depressing song, but its a sign of the end. love the song but I feel so disconnected and depressed at certain points. does anyone else feel this way?
Did you know, some people who worked on chrono trigger worked on Studio Ghibli movies too? Did you know, akira toriyama (Dragonball) drawed the characters of chrono trigger? Did you know, that Chrono Trigger is probably the best RPG of all time?
Amazing rendition. This captured the spirit of the original piece but you still gave it a relaxed feel the entire way. The theme was flawless, front to back. Again, great job.
Sealed Door was already a powerful song based on context alone, but your instrumental choice brought the song to life, and somehow made it even more impactful.
Chrono Trigger will always be the game that made me into a RPG gamer. Shining force started my love but Chrono Trigger created a fan for life, there is no me without Chrono Trigger. I live and die by the messages that were taught to me in that game as a young man.
This is amazing. Not only is the music breathtaking, but listening to this has stirred up so many fond memories of days gone by. Thank you for these remixes.
Absolutely outstanding....it is almost a shame that games like this one will NEVER again exist....Square Soft was something very, very special....a special group of individuals who made RPGs that mean much to me because they were part of my childhood...these games made me feel like I was part of the adventure...like a fantastic book in which I could emerge....Final Fantasy 6, Chrono Trigger, Sectret of Mana, Seiken Densetsu 2, Star Ocean...incredible games with incredible characters, stories, music and in its time the graphics were top notch. Im glad I grew up with some of these games....and also the Computer RPGs from Europe which were darker but also fantastic. I remember playing Eye of the Beholder 2, Wizardry 7, Das Schwarze Auge ( Commodore Amiga, German RPG ) and other great games that I played in-between playing outside with my friends, exploring nature, playing soccer and just enjoying life...Im glad I was part of the 80ies and 90ies...and young enough to enjoy these years. PS= This is a fantastic interpretation and deserves praise of the highest kind. This could be a Soundtrack for a movie...
I remember...everything.... The instant throwback this music has given me is beyond what words can describe. Just me and my twin brother playing this, calling our best friend every 15 minutes to check each other's progress... god...where did we go wrong ?
I actually cried during "To Far Away Times", one of the most soulful and emotional remixes I have heard. This really brings back the memories of both the game and my life in a younger age. Beautiful work!
The one and only game who did everything right. It was ahead of its own time. A true master piece and a game for the ages! And your music is cool too. Calling it outstanding would do it no justice.
I've been listening to this for 1 year I think, but I'm just writing you now. I really wanna thank you for you amazing job. This piano version of yours is sincerely a gem among other versions of Chrono Trigger's OSTs. Those songs really help me to relax and study. Thank you for this. And keep up the good work! Greetings from Brazil :)
I am listening to this while working and gotta say these melodies really made my work much lighter and even relaxing. Thank u sir, this is excellent. Greetings from Brazil.
Xenogears is the masterpiece: music, story, characters, themes, everything. I so would like a remake, with the complete material for the final chapters of the game.
I've decided that this is my favorite TH-cam video of all time. All time. I'm not talking after watching it once or just discovering it. I'm talking months of listening.
OH THANK YOU! you just made my day here! All your work is simply amazing man. Please keep givin us that incredible music written by legends. Thank you so much for bringing those memories back!
this is by far the best album cover I've come upon. so much feeling of loneliness, sadness yet so tragically beautiful and instills insane amounts of nostalgia if you were one of those fortunate enough to play this game back in its day thank you, subbed/liked.
Thank You for this, sincerely from the bottom of my heart. Chronos soundtrack is so pure I cannot stand most recorded piano work of this game. Its too close to my heart. But Yours... Yours is life itself and so true to the FEELING of Chrono Trigger and the essence of what it speaks to the player and fan alike. I have played this game thru more times than I care to count, as a child, teen and then adult. It grew with me, I grew with it. As a fellow player and skilled, life long musician/ composer/ music lover and aficionado, I feel Your understanding for the work and what it conveys, your approach completely encompasses the scope of the work of Yasunori Mitsuda and I dare say, expands on it, by its depth and profound solitude and magnitude, the longing and release into stardust and cosmic endlessness, moksha, the infinity, truth, humility, and scope it conveys... the emotive quality is accurate to a T, and THEN SOME!!! A truly mastered endeavor!!! 🎉BRAVO!!! Bravissimo!!! And a Standing ovation is in order!!! This rendition could be the culmination of so many peoples lifes work... 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊🎉🥹🥲👏🪄💫
This Arrangement is just amazing, I love the OST for this game and now I have something to just chill out to after a long day. much love for this amazing soundtrack
...And then Corridors of Time came on, and my heart hurt again like when I was young. In the best possible way. Amazing. The rendition of this song I had always wanted to have exist while staying true to its core. Bravo. Also Wind Scene.
This album is so AMAZING. I own a studio as well and I have started a Chrono Trigger album my self but this hits the nail on the head so well. Bravo ! I will listen to this over and over.... ! great job.
I love that these versions are licensed, so everyone got their payment and we get this beautiful video that won't get any copyright strikes. TPR does perfection the RIGHT WAY.
You once again brought tears to our eyes and chills to our spines... This one in particular, along with FF VIII rework, goes straight to my heart. Thank you.
the track put me in tears, i played this game back when i was 10 and for all that time, this is the only game i have ever played that had such an impact... i grew to hate FF series not because the games where bad but because they had left this game in the dust and never really did it justice. soo much love for this game.. there will never be another chrono trigger.
This and your other remixes have hit people in the feels so damn hard, including myself. It's amazing what you've done here... For all of those emotions each and every one of us have experienced with Chrono Trigger. The music was already exceptional, but your melancholy remixes justify those feelings even further. I'm thinking about the storyline as I listen, and the things all of the characters went through in those times as each track begins playing....and it brings me back to another loop of Nostalgia for this game... Truly this is a remarkable piece, also alongside your other remixes as well. You are such an amazing person for taking the time to truly she'd a different light on each of these tracks. As a deeply moved fan, I appreciate your efforts. Not only that, but free to listen also?? This is truly a gift and it hits the feels extremely hard.
Beautiful. Haunting. Masterful. A tribute to a Legendary game. A well balanced remix. Not too busy, and not too subdued. True to the original tone, yet enriched at the same time! Rare to have such a balance in VG remixes. Subscribed!
I swear, if one day we will see new Chrono Trigger trailer, and while black screen they will start playing "wind scene", especially from 14:40, I will not be able to stop my tears.
I bought a $700 digital piano and piano lessons at 38 years old because of you and this soundtrack.

Are you still playing? Would be a fantastic conclusion to this comment if you stuck with it
As long as you had fun. Worth it.
Update us Carl Young! Are you still playing?
Did the same exact thing almost a year ago and got my Chrono Trigger piano book from Japan 2 weeks ago. Obviously not skilled enough to play a lot of stuff in it but it's only a matter of time!
1 year later - how are you progressing?
HP/MP restored, but still hungry..
I'll do something about it soon ;)
I must admit, the far future must have been my favorite time period. The music was abstract, the pixel art was unlike anything I'd seen and the overall feel was hopeless. Absolutely perfect.
it really was something really unique
hahaha very nice :D
tfw you are a hardcore original Chrono Trigger fan who doesn't like Chrono Cross
Not just one of the greatest RPG's of all time, one of the greatest video games of all time.
one of the greatest stories ever told
I totally agree, the pace and addictive nature was top grade. for 16 bit, but Sega had awesome 16 bit Disney Games, remember Aladdin n Duck Tales.

Making both games into ONE would be impossible, plus the amount of time, it would take to edit, and rearrange timelines, I'd be happy to see a ANIME, that plays as the games did, to help bring all story lines together, third part, had a rumor taking it's heroes, beyond the end of time, with Janus/Magus, as they did in trigger, to finally finish off lavos outside all possible timelines after the detachment of Schala from Lavos from Trigger and Cross, and finally putting a end to Lavos/Time Devour. I would love this to become a Anime, as in ATTACK ON TITAN, keep it dark with light humor to keep it grounded.

To Far Away Times...wow! The wonder of childhood distilled into a song. I loved being a kid. Can't wait for my son to play this game!
My daughter won't sleep unless that song plays.
The melancholy TPR version, the original, or any version of it? Just curious, because I really like that song too!

I relate to this so hard.
@@Blaisem Late here but uhhh is that a euphemism?
@@cygnus_XI maybe ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
absolutely same here. This music brings back unbelievable memories for me.
Fact: when composing the music for this game, Yasunori Mitsuda's computer got fried and he lost the entirety of his work (-the soundtrack was mostly complete, too!). He had to recompose it again within a very short timeline, which led to much stress and him having to step down when he became really ill as a result.

Vida longa a Nobuo! Que Chrono nunca seja esquecido, e seja honrado como o jogão que é, para sempre!
Chega a se emocionar, hahaha. Mas é muito nerd mesmo.
Long live! :)
Digo o mesmo mano!
One of the most amazing and inspirig sound tracks of all tim its a shame there are so many that will never exeriemce this mastepiece still gives me chlls at 36 yeas old
36:20 the best 30 seconds of this magnificent soundtrack. I'm serious.
and these arrangements are wonderful. arranger obviously understands the driving force in the original melodies and respects it. less is more
Yep Dito, you know! .
idk man, it's hard to top Wind Scene
The best song, the most beautiful, only perfect.
I would love to have your rendition of Magus' theme in game during that battle
Been playing this game since I was 11, and this song always gives me chills and feels. This and "To Faraway Times".
Some things are timeless. The wonder of this medley is that it's one of the few things to prove 'timeless' doesn't mean impossible to look at anew. Wonderful reinterpretations.
One of the best soundracks ever. Not just videogame OST. Like one of the best fucking music compositions ever!
I... I think I played this as a child... It's like a long forgotten dream reamerging in a blurry mist. I can't remember more than the feeling of wonder I got from playing this, and the music is tugging at my heart in such a strange and profound way. I wish I remembered. I feel like I lost something beautiful and precious.
Man... That Wind Scene arrangement fills my heart with some unexplainable good feeling. :')
agree, it's the most peaceful piece I have ever listened to :(
:)
Totally agree with you..
I still come back to this after all these years
I just thought to listen to this masterpiece while I'm doing college essays. When I heard the sound of the clock in the beginning, I was already having goosebumps, and my mind was flooded with memories that I have with this game. I never regretted that I replayed Chrono Trigger a lot of times before when I was a kid when I still had a lot of spare time... I love Chrono Trigger and it will be my only favorite game no matter how much I played lots of different and amazing games in my life...
best game ever!, This and FFVI are my favorite games of all time. I am playing FFXV and although is an ok game, it doesn't come close to FFVI and Chrono Trigger.
Great music man!
"But.... The future refused to change."
Nightmare stuff.
Lavos' scream... Nothing created since can compare.
HAHAHAHA SAOOOOOOO TRUE!
@Rothkana, who says that?
It still gives me chills. That tingling down the spine.
not sure what it is about to far away times. One of the best songs written, yet so very depressing at times, maybe cause its the crew breaking up and going back to their own times. Maybe its just music evoking that emotion. I dont think it was meant to be a depressing song, but its a sign of the end. love the song but I feel so disconnected and depressed at certain points. does anyone else feel this way?
agreed 100% but i feel its also sending a message to go forth into the unknown of the future and make it your own.
Singing Mountain sounds like something out of a Hayao Miyazaki film. And I love it.
Did you know, some people who worked on chrono trigger worked on Studio Ghibli movies too?
Did you know, akira toriyama (Dragonball) drawed the characters of chrono trigger?
Did you know, that Chrono Trigger is probably the best RPG of all time?
yes , yes and Yes
I actually thought Schala's Theme sounded a lot like a miyazaki theme too!
Totally hear it. It sounds similar to the Laputa ending theme. Funnily enough that movie was an influence for the floating islands of Zeal.
Joe Hishiashi is the composer for most Miyazaki films if anyone was interested in searching for the similar sound discussed in this thread
Amazing rendition. This captured the spirit of the original piece but you still gave it a relaxed feel the entire way. The theme was flawless, front to back. Again, great job.
i went to youtube and this was, for sure, the best news of the day.
Sealed Door was already a powerful song based on context alone, but your instrumental choice brought the song to life, and somehow made it even more impactful.
Chrono Trigger will always be the game that made me into a RPG gamer. Shining force started my love but Chrono Trigger created a fan for life, there is no me without Chrono Trigger. I live and die by the messages that were taught to me in that game as a young man.
I always feel so stupid for selling a lot of my video games as I got older.
But I'm so, so happy Chrono Trigger was one of them I held onto.
This is amazing. Not only is the music breathtaking, but listening to this has stirred up so many fond memories of days gone by. Thank you for these remixes.
Absolutely outstanding....it is almost a shame that games like this one will NEVER again exist....Square Soft was something very, very special....a special group of individuals who made RPGs that mean much to me because they were part of my childhood...these games made me feel like I was part of the adventure...like a fantastic book in which I could emerge....Final Fantasy 6, Chrono Trigger, Sectret of Mana, Seiken Densetsu 2, Star Ocean...incredible games with incredible characters, stories, music and in its time the graphics were top notch. Im glad I grew up with some of these games....and also the Computer RPGs from Europe which were darker but also fantastic. I remember playing Eye of the Beholder 2, Wizardry 7, Das Schwarze Auge ( Commodore Amiga, German RPG ) and other great games that I played in-between playing outside with my friends, exploring nature, playing soccer and just enjoying life...Im glad I was part of the 80ies and 90ies...and young enough to enjoy these years.
PS= This is a fantastic interpretation and deserves praise of the highest kind. This could be a Soundtrack for a movie...
You speak my heart, friend.
To great folk who brought us something wonderful that shall indeed stand the test of time! 🍻
I remember...everything....
The instant throwback this music has given me is beyond what words can describe.
Just me and my twin brother playing this, calling our best friend every 15 minutes to check each other's progress...
god...where did we go wrong ?
Those pieces are gorgeous! I just loved the simplicity and sensibility touch on each arrangement. Thanks for such experience!
I actually cried during "To Far Away Times", one of the most soulful and emotional remixes I have heard. This really brings back the memories of both the game and my life in a younger age. Beautiful work!
The one and only game who did everything right. It was ahead of its own time. A true master piece and a game for the ages!
And your music is cool too. Calling it outstanding would do it no justice.
When I'm not listening here I go to Spotify and listen to some awesome tunes. You are awesome TPR!
I've been listening to this for 1 year I think, but I'm just writing you now. I really wanna thank you for you amazing job. This piano version of yours is sincerely a gem among other versions of Chrono Trigger's OSTs. Those songs really help me to relax and study. Thank you for this. And keep up the good work! Greetings from Brazil :)
Where has this been all my life? Damn.
I am listening to this while working and gotta say these melodies really made my work much lighter and even relaxing. Thank u sir, this is excellent. Greetings from Brazil.
Hearing this in 2020, in the middle of Corona Virus crisis kinda soothes my heart. We're gonna thrive fellow humans!

@@varenneduvar2062 beautiful
the title gets it totally! so much melancholy hearing this music, so much memories from the game, love this tribute, love the game.
21:13 I remember hearing this little bridge for the first time while playing the game, and being blown away by how beautiful the chords were.
The soundtrack of my life. Perfect tracks from the perfect score of the perfect game. And perfectly arranged. Thank you
If you are doing tributes to Mitsuda, please do Xenogears next. That soundtrack is a masterpiece.
+hdturner Agreed!~ That's my favorite soundtrack by him!
+hdturner love the way you think!
I could get behind this! A piano version of Forest of Blackmoon would be amazing.
+hdturner Definitely. I'm replaying it atm. I'm about to exit Shevat.
Xenogears is the masterpiece: music, story, characters, themes, everything. I so would like a remake, with the complete material for the final chapters of the game.
This compilation is making my crunch week so much easier with how soothing it is. Thank you.
I've decided that this is my favorite TH-cam video of all time. All time. I'm not talking after watching it once or just discovering it. I'm talking months of listening.
Schala's Theme always gave me goosebumps extremely fast, but this version broke every record so far
Found this by accident, absolutely do not regret it... amazing.
You should do a piano soundtrack to Secret of Mana sometime. It would be fantastic in this style.
I second this request!!!
Secret of Evermore's music would be good too. That music had Soule.
what a pun!
that one was good. maybe it would be Wise to do a take on donkey kong country?
Joe Allen yes! And dkc 2
Love this!!!! Yasunori Mitsuda and Nobuo Uematsu should be in the description as original composers!
Absolute perfection. Fantastic game, fantastic soundtrack, and a SUPERB cover. Bless you.
OH THANK YOU! you just made my day here! All your work is simply amazing man. Please keep givin us that incredible music written by legends. Thank you so much for bringing those memories back!
this is by far the best album cover I've come upon. so much feeling of loneliness, sadness yet so tragically beautiful and instills insane amounts of nostalgia if you were one of those fortunate enough to play this game back in its day
thank you, subbed/liked.
Thank You for this, sincerely from the bottom of my heart. Chronos soundtrack is so pure I cannot stand most recorded piano work of this game. Its too close to my heart. But Yours... Yours is life itself and so true to the FEELING of Chrono Trigger and the essence of what it speaks to the player and fan alike. I have played this game thru more times than I care to count, as a child, teen and then adult. It grew with me, I grew with it. As a fellow player and skilled, life long musician/ composer/ music lover and aficionado, I feel Your understanding for the work and what it conveys, your approach completely encompasses the scope of the work of Yasunori Mitsuda and I dare say, expands on it, by its depth and profound solitude and magnitude, the longing and release into stardust and cosmic endlessness, moksha, the infinity, truth, humility, and scope it conveys... the emotive quality is accurate to a T, and THEN SOME!!! A truly mastered endeavor!!! 🎉BRAVO!!! Bravissimo!!! And a Standing ovation is in order!!! This rendition could be the culmination of so many peoples lifes work... 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊🎉🥹🥲👏🪄💫
How can someone dislike this wonderful contribution to this realm?
This Arrangement is just amazing, I love the OST for this game and now I have something to just chill out to after a long day. much love for this amazing soundtrack
...And then Corridors of Time came on, and my heart hurt again like when I was young. In the best possible way. Amazing. The rendition of this song I had always wanted to have exist while staying true to its core. Bravo.
Also Wind Scene.
This album is so AMAZING. I own a studio as well and I have started a Chrono Trigger album my self but this hits the nail on the head so well. Bravo ! I will listen to this over and over.... ! great job.
Very good, man! Schala and Chrono's Themes are top-notch.
I love that these versions are licensed, so everyone got their payment and we get this beautiful video that won't get any copyright strikes.
TPR does perfection the RIGHT WAY.
still playing this in 2016...
once a year-ish. got the original, psn on ps3/vita, and DS version....never gets old. only other game I play near annually is the original Zelda.
still playing in 2018!
Still playing this in 2020 (4 more weeks until 2021...!)
You're a true artist, a true artist. Blessed be, TPR. Genious.
Your recreation of Frog's Theme made me cry. Thank you for this beautiful album!
You once again brought tears to our eyes and chills to our spines... This one in particular, along with FF VIII rework, goes straight to my heart. Thank you.
静かな曲でピアノでアレンジされていてとてもいい感じですね。聞いているだけで心が落ち着くような気がします。
Such a beautiful game. Total masterpiece
I wanted to say thank you, this helped me sleep like no other.
Been waiting for this! It's as every bit perfect as I thought it would be.
Beautiful arrangement! Truly brings to life what a magnificent piece of music the Chrono Trigger soundtrack is! Bravo!!
the track put me in tears, i played this game back when i was 10 and for all that time, this is the only game i have ever played that had such an impact... i grew to hate FF series not because the games where bad but because they had left this game in the dust and never really did it justice. soo much love for this game.. there will never be another chrono trigger.
This and your other remixes have hit people in the feels so damn hard, including myself. It's amazing what you've done here... For all of those emotions each and every one of us have experienced with Chrono Trigger. The music was already exceptional, but your melancholy remixes justify those feelings even further. I'm thinking about the storyline as I listen, and the things all of the characters went through in those times as each track begins playing....and it brings me back to another loop of Nostalgia for this game... Truly this is a remarkable piece, also alongside your other remixes as well. You are such an amazing person for taking the time to truly she'd a different light on each of these tracks. As a deeply moved fan, I appreciate your efforts. Not only that, but free to listen also?? This is truly a gift and it hits the feels extremely hard.
the end game credits is just the best music...
True
this is incredible. I love listening to chrono trigger piano renditions. I am working late tonight and the focus from this is amazing. Thank you!!!
I often fantasize about revisiting moments in my past. Imagine if we could go back and relive special times in our memories.
Beautiful. Haunting. Masterful. A tribute to a Legendary game. A well balanced remix. Not too busy, and not too subdued. True to the original tone, yet enriched at the same time! Rare to have such a balance in VG remixes.
Subscribed!
Still my favorite video game ever
Chrono Trigger first released in Japan 22 years ago today.
Great album! Love what you did with Frog's Theme!
Yup buying the HQ versions from band camp and using these for lullabies for my kids tonight. These are amazing.
You are one of my favourite composers, i enjoy your own compositions as well as your melacholy tributes
One of my favorite game of all time.....
What a masterpiece! I listen to this álbum when I'm writing my tales and stories. Thanks for sharing this.
Beautiful
I, CAVEGIRL LIKE MUSIC, MAKE MORE NOW!!
Thank you so much for making this, it's gorgeous from start to finish.
They turned the Battle 1 theme, which used to bolst my adrenaline, to a fantasy chilling windy song. Marvelous!
No game has ever come close to this for me
I swear, if one day we will see new Chrono Trigger trailer, and while black screen they will start playing "wind scene", especially from 14:40, I will not be able to stop my tears.
This soundtrack, and the OST from Chrono Cross are my all time favorites.
I'll admit after hearing a distant promise, I cried inside :'(
