The crazy thing about this beautiful soundtrack is that unlike final fantasy i didn't grow up playing chrono trigger but i've known about it most of my life, yet somehow through wanting to play old school ds games i ended up playing chrono trigger and i've been absorbed into the game, its pretty much all i think about So for me listening to this song is a full circle moment because it brought me towards playing chrono trigger and that simply is a beautiful thing.
Fire Emblem fates, 99% sure this is the base of the "you are the oceans gray wave" motif they use throughout the game Never played Chrono Trigger, just stumbled upon this and it felt like listening to a demo of the Fates ost 20 years in advance lol
The younger generation that’s just finding this has no idea what it was like to be a 90s baby playing your video games every chance you get to go into another world or dimension and these tunes just took a kid’s imagination even further. That’s what life is about translating imagination into creative reality, while slaying dragons on your life’s mission of course !!!!
I have the same experience. One day, I sat and played for 6 hours straight,with a space heater right beside me. Burnt a hole in my leg,but it was worth it. Final Fantasy 4 and 6,and Chrono Trigger. Definitely the trinity of badassery back in the day.
On a whim, at 13, i rented this game. It was my first RPG. I had never experienced anything like it. And this music, it has stuck with me forever. And will continue to. Even now, I weep for its beauty, and the nostalgia of that, first, time.
Just started playing this a week ago and am completely obsessed. Ive been a huge fan of rpgs since i was a kid and didnt pick this one up until now and im glad i did.
The most classic and nostalgic JRPG of all time, Chrono Trigger was the first RPG that broke the mold and in such a huge way. Time travel was only seen in movies up until that point. RIP Akira Toriyama, your influence will reverberate throughout history for all of time, thank you for Dragon Ball and thank you for Chrono Trigger; you are a legend and one of the greatest most creative minds this world has ever known. You were my Disney and Goku is my Mickey Mouse.
The night is young and the moon fully lit, shining down low on the secret forest. One like him walks the eerie path as the glow from above casts shadows on the trees that dance to the beat. They wave their arms back and forth, as the black wind howl picking up the mushrooms that bounce up and down to the rhythm of moans from the ManFrog. Magus fades into the night as he sees a party of three approaching led by a fire-haired boy. …
crazy how much i slept on this theme as a kid, i never liked it until i got older and appreciated music more. probably one of the best songs in the game.
Akira didn’t write the music tho. Not tryna be insensitive but it’s cool that y’all came back to this after his passing. This gives me nostalgic memories
Not tryna start any beef, but I don't think anyone's claiming he wrote the music. Moreso they're appreciating him and his work with the character (and art?) designs. If I'm wrong feel free to call me out.
everyone knows Akira didn't write the music you fu cking dum b f u ck. Who the f u ck ever knew Akira as a songwriter, besides no one ? God you fu cking moron
I remember first hearing this song in a gametheory video 8 years ago and have been nostalgic for it in my own way just thinking of the theory that i still believe to this day. Im nostalgic for a song from a game ive never even played.
started playing chrono trigger because of the amazing ost that kept on showing up in my recommended, in under an hr I could tell this game is gonna leave a mark
I played this when it first came out and when I got to the forest part (yep tune starts in the forest) I kinda just froze for a moment, then did what I had to do and got out. A very small part of the game. The next day I was thinking of the tune and it took forever to rediscover the location but I did and stayed in the forest for a long time. Finished the game and was glad it got a ton of accolades but kept thinking but what about that song??? At least once a year I go searching for the tune on TH-cam. Can't remember the superior game but I can't get this otherworldly song ever out of my mind...yea
It seems this song pays direct homage to Genji Ito's 1977 song Konukaame, with a similar arpeggio, bass, and tom-slide-thing they do to make that 'ooooh' sound.
Times this song's tune was used in video games: 1. Light World Dungeon (The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past) 2. Secret of the Forest (Chrono Trigger) 3. Dragonspiral Tower (Pokémon Black & Pokémon White)
The very first time I heard Run in them Adidas I never would have thought one day I'd have a fever They used to say, "Nah, Dom, he is not no keeper" And "Yeah them songs cool, but naw he ain't got no heaters" But then I went home (Shhh) we ain't got one neither

Rest in Piece, Akira Toriyama.
😢
he didn't compose it
@@socadanocu yeah obviously, toriyama designed almost all the characters in the game art wise
RP
I had no idea he died
Thank you, Akira Toriyama...
Thank you, Yatsunori Mitsuda for making the song
Thank the pure hearts who demanded and filled the demand of passion and love... outlining and filling the void.....
RIP Toriyama. Thank you for all the great memories
Rest in peace Akira Toriyama 🕊️
Fucking bots, they even have the same typo
@@NariGenghis omfg I'm so sorry lol
@@NariGenghis You're a dick
Akira only made the visuals………
@@funnyvalentine1038 and the game would not be as memorable without em.
It's amazing that the SNES was able to do music like this. Such a gorgeous track.
Man, Chrono Trigger was such a good game.
i mean, 16bit sampling? every snes track ever
Agreed
rest in piece, Akira
That bassline at 1:40 is insane, never noticed that before but BRO
so simple yet spicy
Fr it gave me an eargasm lol
emulating fretless bass on console, that's something
both the basslines of this song are so classic, you can hear that pattern in alot of amazing songs its so bangin
Good ears lol .
Feel bad everyone couldn't experience this song in game. Music is the gateway to the soul.
Technically the eyes are the gateway to the soul.
The crazy thing about this beautiful soundtrack is that unlike final fantasy i didn't grow up playing chrono trigger but i've known about it most of my life, yet somehow through wanting to play old school ds games i ended up playing chrono trigger and i've been absorbed into the game, its pretty much all i think about
So for me listening to this song is a full circle moment because it brought me towards playing chrono trigger and that simply is a beautiful thing.
Just got it on sale on Steam. The same deal have been focused on it. They tell a great story.
Rest in piece, Akira. Thank you for your contribution in this game and rest well.
My fellow chrono trigger brethren
First example of Mitsuda Lick: 0:26-0:31
One of my favorite tunes, I’m glad it’s referenced in so many games
Thank you for putting a name to this. It’s been used so many times! I think even kingdom hearts sampled a bit
Fire Emblem fates, 99% sure this is the base of the "you are the oceans gray wave" motif they use throughout the game

I always come back to this song to clear my mind.
I'm crying... 💔
Over Sasuke.
The winter of 1995 was made magical by this game. I remember letting the game idle while I would listen to the music.
Thanks Akira.

Every underground artist used this for a sample lol
just came here to sample this💀
DJ SACRED!
lostrushi
@@BigBoomBoom4 yezzuurrrr
@@ApetheWizardwat song?
Thank you for everything, Toriyama-san.
Can we just go back in time when this game was released? Life was so much better..
On a whim, at 13, i rented this game. It was my first RPG. I had never experienced anything like it. And this music, it has stuck with me forever. And will continue to. Even now, I weep for its beauty, and the nostalgia of that, first, time.
This song is so flipping incredible… it’s perfect!!
Yasunori Mitsuda is one the greatest musical genius in history imo
You know when I was a kid playing this amazing game, listening to this amazing soundtrack… really took it for granted 😔
This song. The actual feeling and vibe of this song.
Is exquisite, or perfect. In other words, beautiful.
I can't believe a game so good and dated had tracks like this. wayyyyyy ahead of its time ❤
Why doesn't this masterpiece have 1 million views?
Sometimes masterpieces are unknown.
The rain edit one has 3 million
*sigh* man, rest In peace I followed your work from db to chrono and dragon quest…thank you from all of us, rip Akira toriyama.

Thank you Yasunori Mistuda
RIP Akira Toriyama
Really weird to see all the comments are just 1 month ago while the song was uploaded 11 years ago
I’m with you on that one. I’ve heard this song years ago but never knew where it came from
Bro fr, the first time I heard it was in a video of a duck with flower on it's head falling asleep.
I guess TH-cam wants us to continue hearing this even 12 years later
Tiktok kids, zoomers pretending to have ACTUALLY played the game in the 90s 😂
Yo
Wish I could play this game for the first time again
But I could listen to the soundtrack a hundred times and it still hits the same
The night is young and the moon fully lit, shining down low on the secret forest. One like him walks the eerie path as the glow from above casts shadows on the trees that dance to the beat. They wave their arms back and forth, as the black wind howl picking up the mushrooms that bounce up and down to the rhythm of moans from the ManFrog.

a work of art!!

Sleep in Peace Toriyama-San, you’ve changed the world with your fantastic iconic character designs.
One of the best soundtracks ever 😍
IVE NEVER BEEEEN THIS HIGH
Best game I’ve ever played till this day. I come back every month or so to reminisce. Perfect ost
Such feeling! Im not crying.
Every moment of this song makes for an amazing sample
This games music is so good.
SquareSoft’s SNES games were “chef’s kiss”
Chef's
Legendary vg music right here!!!
This goes so hard 🔥
I used to Play Super Nintendo So Much but never played this Game. I wish I knew about this in My Youth, Such a Beautiful Soundtrack.
best video game bass ever, maybe?
Beautiful

How far have you gotten?
What. A. Track.
Dragonspiral Tower - Pokemon BW2
Battle Against a True Hero - Undertale
Sidon's Theme - Zelda Breath of the Wild
Aquatic Ambiance - Donkey Kong Country
@@lain7758 Does it have the lick too?
"Young girl A" also has it
Soul Sanctum - Hollow Knight
@@unfathomablyunfathomable There doesn't seem to be any melodical resemblance, but good taste in music.
This song man... It's like a distant dream

i think of this song whenever i listen to What It Means To Be Alone by The Dear Hunter
Nunca mais teremos um DreamTeam...
my blood got fent
Wiz Kahlifa - Never Been, Pt. II
They sampled this song so well.
Soon as I heard that song Chrono Trigger popped up. Nostalgia is strong with this one
the original is a 100 times better in my opinion
lil weird sampling
Hipster rap yo.
Sounds like crap
RIP Akira Toriyama.
i knew this sounded familiar!!! i think the song Breathe by Dandelion Hands sampled this. the original is absolutely beautiful.
i think that chrono trigger have one of the best early-game feel in all rpg
0:26 la primera frase suena identica a "estos hombres tristes" de almendra :0
Thanks for everything Toriyama- Sensei
genuinely didnt know what the title of this was for the longest time until a gnome video sent me here
It seems this song pays direct homage to Genji Ito's 1977 song Konukaame, with a similar arpeggio, bass, and tom-slide-thing they do to make that 'ooooh' sound.
cant explain what i felt when i heard this
Esse som é incrível
Me siento raro escuchar esto por más de 5 segundos y que no empiece el tema de batalla, lol
Thank you Akira! The lessons I learned will be with me forever.
RIP AKIRA TOYAMA
I don't know how this dissonant bassline works so well, but it does.
Someone pointed out that the celestial tower theme from Pokemon BW2 sounds just like this and I can't unhear it.
This song seems to be strongly inspired by Toshiki Kadomatsu - Sea Song (reprise)
“Hunnid thousand dollars it may sound like it’s a lot really it’s not”
Wow
Straight outta hell, ring the bells, Plague is here to stay
This song suits Guts a lot
Times this song's tune was used in video games:
1. Light World Dungeon (The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past)
2. Secret of the Forest (Chrono Trigger)
3. Dragonspiral Tower (Pokémon Black & Pokémon White)
Leigo
Also Alundra
Prairie Rain Field from .hack has a similar feel
i love video games.
Love this stage of honor, this time is triggered! A master bound us :) r.i.pictures in our minds.
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS, IT MAY SOUND LIKE IT'S A LOT, REALLY IT'S NOT TO ME- 🗣
The very first time I heard Run in them Adidas
I never would have thought one day I'd have a fever
They used to say, "Nah, Dom, he is not no keeper"
And "Yeah them songs cool, but naw he ain't got no heaters"
But then I went home (Shhh) we ain't got one neither
100,000 thousand dollar it may sound like its alot really its not
@@flabbergastedcattywampus Wiz Khalifa - Never Been part 2. He uses this as a beat
@Awoken777 what?
@Awoken777 who cares retard you can play the game AND like wiz crazy concept to autists i know
Congratulation for being the oldest comment here
@@docilelikewintercatfish much thank
Estoy aquí gracias al tema "El Inmortal" de Alhan. 😅
My condolences to the Toriyama family.
Trilha sonora foda
Celestial tower from pokemonnn
anybody know where I could find that choir instrument sound effect thingy they used??
1:42
Yes
Mitsuda cooked way too hard
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man...there's a track in Alundra that is almost identical to this 🤯
RIP Akira, you will always be remembered.
GOATED EZ
I'm convinced this was at least partially inspired by Boz Scaggs' Jojo.
Could you please elaborate? I sort of hear it now, but not quite
Off by Picchio Dal Pozzo is much closer.
@@aliets Holy shit you're right. Thanks!
@@justanotherhankhillaccount I think it was the keyboards that made me try to connect the two.
@@ultraclunt9667 I totally hear it now! Good connection
