Chrono Cross is a great example of a time when Squaresoft actually put their hearts into what they were doing. It would have been so easy to make Chrono Trigger 2 and recycle everything that was popular about it. Instead they made one of the most fresh and original JRPGs ever.
Replaying the radical dreamer edition on the switch 23 years later and I still need to idle on maps and in battles to drink in how majestic the soundtrack is.
I think they should make a third "Chrono" game and have like the main character for that game come together with Serge and Crono in some dimension where they all are with each other and them three work together to defeat some real threat to the the dimensions and time. It would be epic. They should also make some more touching beautiful music like this :)
Yep. Chrono Cross was an amazing game. I'm so glad I decided to play it after Chrono Trigger! The ending definately makes me cry every single time I play it... Awesome.
I really have a though day tomorrow, but listening to some Chrono Cross always makes me feel like there's no tomorrow, just present, and this present i'm listening to is... simply beautiful. Makes me proud to be alive and breathing.
It gives me goosebumps how massive and universe-expanded this game is. The ending really shifts from a game sequence to real life of Schala Kid looking for Serge.
True enough, just listening to this makes me realize that this is probably the greatest soundtrack to any game. That's saying a LOT, but seriously...it's amazing.
you're right most of us feel a lonely sensation upon listening to this and it's not just a coinicidence it may have triggered something in your subconscious mind to make you think back to something that happened in your past and our past always stays with us whether we know it or not, songs like this give us a reminder, either in a negative way or a positive way which in turn could give nostalgia. it depends on the person and their perception, some may actually get a positive image from the song
the real fact about this epic game or series is that the creators haven't planned for a sequel, but fortunately, the series is not dead. The original team stressed out that they were busy in the Final Fantasy series and said that it would take a while before they CAN/COULD reunite and make a sequel. All hail to the best minds who founded such magnificent games, such as these. Yasunori Mitsuda's music just perfected everything. :)
To this day in my mind , the ending I choose to remember is the one where Kidd finds Surge and they all live happily ever after. I'm kind of glad they never continued the story seeing as how there were implications that the original gang from the first one met an untimely demise. Still think about these games to this day and how they were important to me as a kid. They were the best gifts my imagination ever got video game wise!
They actually end together and married ... that was confirmed in a interview with creators, also in the end of game appears a portrait with a picture (next to diary) with serge and kid in weeding dresses. Sorry for my english. :)
Chrono Cross was my first RPG/JRPG. At the time I didn’t even know Chrono Trigger existed (I played Trigger several years later on the DS). It was and still is one of my favorite games, maybe even my #1. The soundtrack is perfect and the ending theme (Radical Dreamers ~Unstolen Jewel~) was my first time hearing Japanese vocals in a song and it was so amazing and so different at the time that it sticks with me even now.
what an ending!!! its the best ending of all RPG games!! i see all this images again of what i do, the things i played, those moments where great, and this ending its the best i think, good video, the best one!!
COOL i love this ending i personally think CC is one of the finest RPG's i´ve ever played... the son brings back so much memories-sniff- thx for uploading it!
Someone played this on guitar at the Honey Festival here in Arkansas and I was like super ecstatic! I was like, "OMG I know that song, holy fucking hell!" It made my day.
23 years later... This game came out a couple years before I was born. My mother was playing it when I was young, very young. I'm told this is what got me to sleep at night. I believe it.
Absolutely beautiful. There are only a handful of games out there that can evoke as much emotion as Chrono Cross. It was a privilege to play through this game.
Just picked it up again a few days ago, it's a beautiful story and the multiple arcs, including numerous endings including a really touching one with Harle, really have you coming back to collect all of the many unique characters. The party comment system is my favorite, the ability to have any character in your party and have a unique (abiet maybe just changed text to fit character) response from them is beautiful in it's own right.
Hey guys! The Remastered Xenogears CD just came out! It's a bunch of Xenogears music (which we all know was also MItsuda's work), but it's orchestrated! It's called Myth: Xenogears Orchestrated, or something like that. Perhaps if enough people buy, an orchestrated Chrono album will be on its way in a year or two? Rumor has it he's working on one...
@Serasia Lucky you. I wonder how many classics have I missed out on just by being born late? At least I was born early enough to really start getting into games at a time when games were going through their Golden Age. I would never trade my memories of games like FF7-10, Chrono Cross, and Shenmue for anything. You're very lucky to have a chance to play this game. Put down all your modern expectations and enjoy the ride. Welcome to the club.
it's true that at first i hated how the connection between the 2 games was so hard to pick out, but once i found it out, i really liked how subtle it was. you aren't just replaying the same story, you're actually playing from a completely different point of view. very creative.
They actually end together and married ... that was confirmed in a interview with creators, also in the end of game appears a portrait with a picture (next to diary) with serge and kid in weeding dresses. Sorry for my english. :)
@@rickantiveros The opening video of chrono cross? There's a another ending video of that. Beside the book there's a photo of Serge and Schala/Kid. If you don't know yet.
Squaresoft, Square Enix, it doesn't matter right now. What matters is the fact that we can meet right here, right now and cherish this masterpiece :) Manly tear after 18 years is still worth it!
yes intersesting. I wish they would release another chrono game. I had hours and hours of fun with this game, Ive seen almost all of the possible 16 endings. I think im missing 2
chrono cross was the first rpg i played, i have to thank it because since then i love rpg's game, chrono cross an amazing game with amazing soundtrack and story, and i will make sure chrono cross will be the first rpg my children ( when i have ) will play, chrono is an amazing game with amazing soundtrack and story ...
Chrono Trigger/Chrono Cross series is my favorite RPG title. I loved both imensly. How the story connects between the 2 games is just briliant and complex. Amazing game... Amazing sequel... Amazing story =D
I still remeber finishing the game back when i was a kid and listen to the whole Song it is truly Beautiful! i also love how it's in black and white but the sky is Blue!
i brought this game back when it first came out and ive had it since then.... great game great soundtrack great story line fuck this game is just great
This ending is still one of Square's best, and it's been over 2 decades since the game released. The game itself was a masterpiece that few come close to even matching, and shows that Square Enix has nowhere near the same standards that Square had back in the day.
@TomLMLee they do. the wedding pic at one part of the ending is of serge and kid. its proven by some concept art of both of them in wedding clothes, the same ones they're wearing in the pic
To me, the soundtrack for this game had more of an impact then the final fantasy series, it always knows when to set the right mood for the players, and helps you become lost in such a great story.
I gotta get this song onto my iPod someday. I have yet to play this game, but I'm playing Chrono Trigger DS at the moment. But I must agree at 2:33. Best scene of the ending, the way time was essentially rewound at the end of the story. (Yea, I read the ending)
no doubt about it they put their soul in it there has been no music like this till now it’s so touching and soothing it really touches our heart… from their heart to ours…
so much art, story, character and emotion in one game this, chrono trigger and xenogears are as good as games get and the music in those games... god its just sick
time keeps on flowing...no matter where you are despite world, universe, dimension...time keeps on flowing, even when worlds have split and warriors fight to protect those worlds.
Something about this music makes me feel like everything will be alright... likethe black and white are the troubles or illusions of now, but the colored background shows how the future is brighter and clearer
Chrono Cross is a great example of a time when Squaresoft actually put their hearts into what they were doing. It would have been so easy to make Chrono Trigger 2 and recycle everything that was popular about it. Instead they made one of the most fresh and original JRPGs ever.
17 years later and i still can't help but to tear up listening to this song.
Glad I'm not the only one
I beat this game for the first time during the Christmas vacation of my senior year in high school. Damn that hurt like hell the first time.
Me too! This was my first RPG and I still remember what it felt like to hear this for the first time
17 years later, still absolutely loving this song. #
20 years later and still the same...
@@CoolPablo93 21 years and it's still Amazing
Jesus im old
This song is eternal
Replaying the radical dreamer edition on the switch 23 years later and I still need to idle on maps and in battles to drink in how majestic the soundtrack is.
This is the BEST soundtrack, regardless of whether you're a player of this game or not. Just read the reviews everywhere. Everyone says so.
I think they should make a third "Chrono" game and have like the main character for that game come together with Serge and Crono in some dimension where they all are with each other and them three work together to defeat some real threat to the the dimensions and time. It would be epic. They should also make some more touching beautiful music like this :)
This is the only RPG that got me hooked so much into it, I hate to say this but I think this game meant to me more than FF VII ......
I feel the same way, the atmosphere and the music just pulled me into the world. I just feel such a connection to this game.
+Danyal Elia I feel you bro
even tho the characters really had mediocre development and the gameplay could have been better. The music and atmosphere made the game 100%
Me too...
Me too. Best RPG ever in ps1. And the OST is awesome!
This song reminds me of the days spent plowing the fields carelessly in the shire.. I miss those days
xDDDDDDDDDD
xD
XD

a masterpiece through and through, from the graphics over the storytelling to the music everything is just great.
3:17 to the end is pure magic.
This game is so beautifull
best game ever.
Damn straight best game ever .... at the time game spot perfect 10 on all categories
this game was beautiful. it makes us think about the existence of humanity, the nature of time, and love.
old times when we used to get Masterpieces from Square...
Back when it was still squaresoft....
I love both the beginning and ending theme songs to Chronos Cross.
yep in the general I actually prefer Chrono Trigger's soundtracks, but the first and the last song of Chrono Cross triump over Chrono Trigger's.
True enough, just listening to this makes me realize that this is probably the greatest soundtrack to any game. That's saying a LOT, but seriously...it's amazing.
still the saddest shit ive ever seen in any game ever.. its just an ending.. powerful stuff
I have the sountrack, and I love EVERY single song. This is my favourite RPG game... And I still cry. Every time.

I never finished this game, but I bought the soundtrack because the music was so awesome.
Lots of music videos became unavailable on my playlists but this stayed here for almost 20 years. It feels forever and forever it will be.
the real fact about this epic game or series is that the creators haven't planned for a sequel, but fortunately, the series is not dead. The original team stressed out that they were busy in the Final Fantasy series and said that it would take a while before they CAN/COULD reunite and make a sequel. All hail to the best minds who founded such magnificent games, such as these. Yasunori Mitsuda's music just perfected everything. :)
Still gives me goosebumps years after I finished it. The music is probably the finest ever from a SquareSoft game as every song evokes an emotion.
They dont make RPGs like this anymore. RIP 90s era
To this day in my mind , the ending I choose to remember is the one where Kidd finds Surge and they all live happily ever after.

But isn't Serge's face obscured because the camera wouldn't pan down to show us?
2022 y sigue siendo una maravilla esta banda sonora.
7 years passed...And that Chrono cross is still one of the best childhood i have.
Edit: Also Final fantasy - Suikoden.

i have played other rpg games but i havent felt the sense of this game
great song!!!
Someone played this on guitar at the Honey Festival here in Arkansas and I was like super ecstatic! I was like, "OMG I know that song, holy fucking hell!" It made my day.
This game is my life... When I am watching the ending I always cry.

This song is now old enough to buy smoke and alcohol in canada. If that didn't made you feel old, well, i did the trick for me
it did my fellow canadian. video is older than my kids also
18 years ago.... and i still love it

the only video game ending that have ever made me sad and almost cry... there's no other game like it. BEST RPG EVER!
i played this game 7 years ago.. best Play Station game ever
chrono cross is legendary. amazing character variety, strategic element system, epic story line.. the list could go on. i love this game
Still play it until now, never get bored!!!!!
Nothing can surpass these wonderful song!!!!
Nunca deixarei essa música morrer!!
2021.. I'm still hearing it.
sempre choro quando eu ouço essa musica, sempre toca e conforta o meu coração!
it's true that at first i hated how the connection between the 2 games was so hard to pick out, but once i found it out, i really liked how subtle it was. you aren't just replaying the same story, you're actually playing from a completely different point of view. very creative.
ive played many rpgs but this has been one the best..if not memorable games ive played in my life.
When I finally beat this game the best way, I was simply blown away by this ending...
SO beautiful....
Agreed, its one of those sad songs that makes you think of the past and what was lost that you will never get back.
We need a remake of this game for ps4
A remake of this one, of chrono trigger and xenogears.
Nah. . Let classic be classic and not turn into ff7 (Forfuck'sSake's7).
at this point, real art, creativity and love is missing from 99% from present games. So I think its better if we dont have a remake.
no , not a remake !!! certainly not !!! a remaster yes , not a remake .
and for PC
2020, listening this while quarantine.. I miss my childhood time 😢
this sure bring back a lot of memories.. this song is the BEST song tat i ever heard in rpg game.. LOVE IT SO MUCH!!
i actually played this before trigger, my favorite RPG and will probably always be my favorite. Cool vid, and yeah maybe the best rpg song
maaaan you really got to love these sound is sooo awesome is only gitar and voice but is incredible cool
my adolescence, childhood, memories...
the endling .. Schala Kid keep looking for Serge

I still love this song.
Only Serge and other things in the foreground are in black and white. The backgrounds are normally colored.
I totally and absolutely agree!!!!
this song will always bring back fond memories
i listen to this all the time
definitely up there on my list of fave video game themes!
To me, the soundtrack for this game had more of an impact then the final fantasy series, it always knows when to set the right mood for the players, and helps you become lost in such a great story.
Dec 21 2022 im still here listening this and i will make my dream comes true: create song and video clip like this,, wish me luck guys,,
21 years later and the ending is still satisfying as hell thanks to this soundtrack
What beautiful music...
beaitufl guitar playing.
beautiful vocals...
Hermoso. Lo vuelvo a escuchar despues de años sin haberlo hecho, y me la acuerdo entera.
I gotta get this song onto my iPod someday.
I have yet to play this game, but I'm playing Chrono Trigger DS at the moment.
But I must agree at 2:33. Best scene of the ending, the way time was essentially rewound at the end of the story. (Yea, I read the ending)
When i listen to this song it makes everything in my head feel so much clearer
no doubt about it they put their soul in it there has been no music like this till now it’s so touching and soothing it really touches our heart… from their heart to ours…
I came back here to listen to my favorite japanese song. I love it...Long Live Chrono Cross!
my whole childhood right here
Oh my gosh! The best game, best music, best intro, and best ending. My favorite game of all time... I love Chrono Cross.
so much art, story, character and emotion in one game
this, chrono trigger and xenogears are as good as games get
and the music in those games... god its just sick
Epic, moving game! I still remember buying it and playing it late into the night!
Towards the darkness of the frozen stars
A spinning prayer
May it reach your distant sky....
time keeps on flowing...no matter where you are despite world, universe, dimension...time keeps on flowing, even when worlds have split and warriors fight to protect those worlds.
I love this game! So good! Brings back to much memories!
i miss this game...
it's sooo nostalgia.....
Something about this music makes me feel like everything will be alright... likethe black and white are the troubles or illusions of now, but the colored background shows how the future is brighter and clearer
I love this song it is beautiful ;) and when I turn the pitch down ever so slightly, it sounds so tear-inducing ;)
