Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross are very close to my heart. This interview was just too amazing. Seeing Mr Masato Kato and Mr Yasunori Mitsuda together talking about their creation with the series made me very happy. What a nostalgic and enriching interview this was. Thank you Square Enix for this video and making the Remaster possible. And i hope next we see Chrono Trigger getting remade in the same way Live A Live and Dragon Quest III got and being remade. Also a don't forget Xenogears please ^_^.
I played Chrono Cross shortly after my younger brother died. I was isolated and alone. This game gave me hope because I realized the power of choice. It made me realize people live in their separate versions of reality. 加藤ざんと光田さん、心の底からありがとうございます
Chrono Cross is my favorite game, the one that made me fall in love with RPGs and although I have finished many, none of them ever had a story, characters and message like this. The fact that they released a remaster, along with this interview made me happy in a way that I can't put into words. Thank you Square for remembering that you still have invaluable franchises besides Final Fantasy. Hopefully, in the future, someone can continue with Chrono Cross, with a new installment. That is, at 35 years old, my dream in terms of video games. They have made me very happy. Thank you to all the beautiful people who worked in the original and in this remaster.
Chrono Cross has my favorite videogame OST of all time, and I love everything Mitsuda ever did. That being said, considering the amount of questions related to music, I always found Mr. Kato to be the unsung hero of the masterpiece that is this game. From the starting poem, to the scenes he mentioned, to all those events from Cross that carry very deep meanings, way beyond typical tropes I found in the genre over the years. All of it shows the great sensibility behind Kato's writing. I started playing the remaster recently, and the dialogue between Serge and Leena at Opassa Beach hit me like a truck; completely new meanings from what I could grasp 20 years ago, just like you would expect from good art. Also, look at those storyboards! Those cool and iconic ideas that gave CC's intro the cinematic feel it is know for? All from Kato's mind. Absolutely brilliant. Thanks, Mr. Kato. Indeed, you surely helped me find some answers under those cerulean skies, thanks to the beauty you helped create.
Chrono Cross is a masterpiece and a truly meaningful game. So different from most games. Almost more of an art piece than a game. There is so such a maturity to it, so much depth, so many things to ponder, and so many feelings it evokes. Late 90s Square was the best at making these types of meaningful experiences. Such games don't really exist anymore.
This is so awesome to see the legends that made Chrono Cross. It woudl be amazing to see a comback for Chrono series or even some kind of remake/ remaster for Chrono Trigger. Thank you Square and the original devs!
That's the best game of all time for me. Mr. Mitsuda thank you for sparking the love for classical music in my youth! What a great music you made that speak to my soul! I listen to in from time to time even to this day. Mr. Kato thank you for such amazing story and dialogues! So much great characters! Endings! I am very happy to see this interview and that everyone having a good time. What a memories. Thanks for all the people that worked on it from the bottom of my heart! Greetings from Russia!
I said it when I was 14 and I keep saying it now I'm 33: Chrono Cross is the best videogame I'ver ever played. It changed my life for the better. I could make a very extended argument on why it is so but, given all the things these incredible people discuss here in this interview, I just won't add any more words than that. If you haven't played it, now is the time. Just inmerse yourself in its world, and you won't regret it. It's a wonderful, memorable piece of art, made by a dream team in a time where videogames where full of love and risky but great artistic ideas. The plot, the plot, the world, the feelings... Best game ever! Greetings from Argentina! 👋👋👋
Chrono fans are few, we will probably never get a new game. Let's enjoy these great games we got. Thanks to everyone involved in the production. I love Trigger and Cross so much. 制作に携わってくださった皆様、ありがとうございました. 私は両方のゲームが大好きです
Kato, Mitsuda your work in the Chrono Series saved me from a very dark time in my life, i can never express how much those games mean to me. I am grateful that i could experience them in the past, and more grateful now that more people were able to do so.
Thank you for sharing this interview and translating it! Chrono Cross is my all-time fav gaming ost. It has a beautiful variety of different sounds and every track fits the moment and environment perfectly. Great balance of upbeat and slower music 🙏🏻
Thanks for having this interview, it provides insight from point of view of creators. it makes me be more grateful when playing this game. and this represents my childhood memories.
Thank you so much, Mr. Kato and Mr. Mitsuda for creating such an amazing piece of art. To this day it truly has a magical feel to it and there is nothing else like it. I think Mr. Kato nailed it when he said that there are some things that can only be created at a certain time with certain people and this is definitely one of them. I LOVE these interview series you all have been doing. This and the Live a Live one were fantastic. Also, the host does a fantastic job of moving the conversation along and keeping it flowing.
Chrono Trigger deserves a full remake with a fully performed soundtrack. I'd settle for the same graphics of Octopath, fully voiced too 😉 I really felt it was a missed opportunity for Chrono Cross that they just kept the music as it was. Too bad Mitsuda-san didn't at least get the music performed. The concert versions with Millennial Fair were perfect!
Thank you Mr. Kato and Mr. Mitsuda for this wonderful piece of art. When I think of Chrono Cross, I remember the sound, the warmth, and the fun times I had in my childhood. Chrono Cross gives me a whole perspective on how we interpret the meaning of life and the meaning of actions in our daily life. Thank you, just thank to both of you for giving a birth to a title that goes through beyond space and time! Thank you for the wonderful memories!

人生で選ばなかったことに思いを馳せる…そういうセンチメンタルはゲーム、ましてやRPGという枠組みでは避けられがちだったと思います。奇跡のスタッフが集まり奇跡的に作られたゲームなのだなぁと改めて感じました。素敵な時間をありがとうございました。
クロノクロスリマスター良かったのでゼノギアスリマスターも宜しくお願い致します🥺

クロノ・クロスをあの頃の多感な時期にやれて本当に良かった。いまだに心に深く残っています。
安元さんの「ゲームも立派な体験、経験なんですよね」が、ホントそれなんだよなぁと深々思います。
制作についての話も今になって知ることが出来て良かったと思うし、素敵な時間でした。
I played Chrono Cross shortly after my younger brother died. I was isolated and alone. This game gave me hope because I realized the power of choice. It made me realize people live in their separate versions of reality.
加藤ざんと光田さん、心の底からありがとうございます
音楽が評価されがちだけど、ストーリーとかキャラデザとか舞台とかドストレートなのでクロノクロスの全てが大好きです(語彙力)
OPを初めて見た時の感動は今でも覚えている
曲が完成系で触りたくないっていうのはすごくかっこいいと思った。
どれだけ曲にすべてを注ぎ込まれたのか、その想いに感激する。
アホみたいにOP観まくった。
なんだったんだろ？あれは。

高校生くらいの時にめちゃくちゃやりこんだ。普通にプレイしてるだけじゃ意味がわからないことがたくさんあって、アルティマニアや考察サイトなどたくさん読んで何度もプレイしたとても思い出深いゲームです。

とても貴重なお話聞けて大変感激です。
ありがとうございました。
文章力無くてお恥ずかしいですが、クロノシリーズに出会えて、本当に幸せです。
これは神インタビュー過ぎる
今だに車でサントラ流したり
寝る前に聴いたりするよ😢

クロノクロス、ブレスオブワイルド、グランディアはBGMに関しても最高傑作だと思う。出来れば結城信輝さんも呼んで欲しかったかも？
貴重なインタビューありがとうございます！またプレイしたくなりました！クロノトリガーもPS5でプレイ出来る日を楽しみにしてます
現在は『エブリシング・エブリウェア・オール・アット・ワンス 』やMCUとかでマルチバースの概念がエンタメ界でも流行してるけど、自分が最初に平行世界の概念を知ったのはクロノクロスからでした。リマスターを実現してくれたスタッフのみなさんには感謝の念しかないです。
今ニンテンドーストアでスクエニのゲームセールしてるのでクロノクロス購入させてもらいました、サントラも大好きで定期的に聴いてますー✨
加藤さんと光田さんという天才が掛け合わさって作られたゲームなんだと改めて感動しました。
加藤さんの神がかった世界観、そしてその世界を深く理解して彩ろうとしてくれる光田さんの熱意があるからこそクロノクロスにはあそこまでの立体感と没入感があるんですね。
しかもイラストも全てリファインされてるなんて…人生で一番大好きなゲームがこんなに時間が経った今でも作り手の人達から愛されていることがわかって本当に嬉しかったです。いえ、愛されて作られているからこそファンを魅了してやまないのでしょう。貴重なお話ありがとうございました！
ゼノギアスのリマスター来たら絶対買います！！！！！！絶対！！！！！
光田さんの口からゼノギアス、クロノトリガーの名前出た時テンション上がった
ゼノギアス、クロノトリガーきてくれえええええええ
プレステ１のグラフィック好きだったなぁ
あれぐらいの方が感情移入しやすいのかも。ハイスペックな絵本みたいイメージで。
クロスの物悲しいシナリオと非常にマッチしていて、今でも好きな作品です
最高のインタビューでした。ゼノギアスのリマスターも心待ちにしています。
This is so awesome to see the legends that made Chrono Cross. It woudl be amazing to see a comback for Chrono series or even some kind of remake/ remaster for Chrono Trigger. Thank you Square and the original devs!

Greetings from Russia!
メッチャ好きだったけど誰からも共感されなかったw
クロノクロスが現代に復刻されて非常に嬉しいです。
アプデでフレームレートも上がり、目に優しくなりました。
クロノトリガーもPS4/5で遊べるようにしてほしいです。
あとはゼノギアス、デュープリズムのリマスターですね。
個人的にはリメイクよりかは遊びやすくなったリマスターのほうが嬉しいです。

Greetings from Argentina! 👋👋👋
どう生きてきたらこんなすごいシナリオ思いつくんだろ
加藤さん光田さん共に思い入れの強さが表れていた良いインタビューでした。
幻の3作目、クロノブレイクについてのエピソードや思いも聞いてみたいです。
光田さんの音楽と世界観がマッチしてて大好きだった。
死海のbgmは今でも怖くて夜道にヘッドホンでは聴けない。鳥肌が立つ
今でもあの音楽とストーリーが鮮烈に残っています
私は物語をすすめていくほどに初めて触れるのに、何故か懐かしくどこかに帰りたくなるような感覚に襲われていました
今ではこの音楽に帰る、ゲームに帰るような不思議な気持ちになりました
それはさておき、宇宙人可愛くていつも連れて歩いてましたｗお気にいりのキャラ
Chrono fans are few, we will probably never get a new game. Let's enjoy these great games we got. Thanks to everyone involved in the production. I love Trigger and Cross so much.

I love to drive my car listening to Time's Scar
クロノクロス発売当時小学生でしたが、子供ながらにすごく衝撃だったのを覚えています。テレビCMもよく覚えています。世界観、音楽、キャラすべてが新鮮で、今プレイしても色褪せません。生み出して下さってありがとうございます。私の人生の一部に確実に存在しています
このゲームに関わった全ての人に感謝
CMでOPの一部が流れて衝撃を受けて友人宅でプレイ見るだけだったトリガーを即借りて発売に備えた
トリガーもクロスも良かった。サントラは今でも聴いてる
小学生の時、奇跡的に金持ちの友達がサテラビュー持ってたな。
本当に奇跡だよw
WHAT! watching the interview then notice Masato Kato is wearing Thom Yorke Suspiria tshirt is like finding an easter egg that is just for me.
Thank you for sharing this interview and translating it! Chrono Cross is my all-time fav gaming ost. It has a beautiful variety of different sounds and every track fits the moment and environment perfectly. Great balance of upbeat and slower music 🙏🏻
素晴らしい企画ありがとうございます！！
ホント神々ですね😂
光田さんの楽曲はどれも大好きだし光田さんの作曲に対する考え方も素晴らしいと思います！
リマスター知らなかったのでやりたいです！！
ぜひどうかゼノギアスもお願いしたいです🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️
クロノクロスのOPは今見ても かっこいいゲームOP No1 だと思います。
そしてこのゲーム等でみとせのりこさんの歌声が大好きになりました。
またみとせのりこさんの歌声のゲームが聴きたい
クロノクロスとクロノトリガーとラジカルドリーマーズのつながりの種明かしを加藤さんから聞けて良かった。
クロノクロスは音楽シナリオ全て含めて、私の人生の糧でもあり私を構成する芯でもあると当時から深く愛している物語です。
きっとそれはこの先の人生が終わるまでブレることはないと思います。
そんな存在を世に生み出してくれて感謝しています。
十何年も愛し続けていて、この先クロスの情報が更新されることはないのだと諦めていたのですが、まさか23年経って止まっていた時が動くとは夢にも思いませんでした。ましてやラジカルに会えるとも。
リマスターとしてまた世に出してくれた方々にも感謝です。
スクエニさんではありませんが、アナデンのクロノクロスについても触れられる機会があればと期待しています。
Thanks for having this interview, it provides insight from point of view of creators. it makes me be more grateful when playing this game. and this represents my childhood memories.
すべての夢みるものたちのために！
What an incredible interview! Chrono Cross is a timeless gem!
So exciting!!! One of the greatest soundtracks in gaming! Please have English Subtitles! 🙏✨
トリガーが引き金になってラジカルにクロスしてんの感慨深い
Thank you so much, Mr. Kato and Mr. Mitsuda for creating such an amazing piece of art. To this day it truly has a magical feel to it and there is nothing else like it. I think Mr. Kato nailed it when he said that there are some things that can only be created at a certain time with certain people and this is definitely one of them.
I LOVE these interview series you all have been doing. This and the Live a Live one were fantastic. Also, the host does a fantastic job of moving the conversation along and keeping it flowing.
Awesome The birth of #CHRONOCROSS Interview with Original Director Masato Kato and Composer Yasunori Mitsuda Video.
加藤さんと光田さんと、当時のスタッフさん達の才能が全て合わさって出来た作品。自分の人生の中のNo.1ゲームです😢
ちょうどGW入ってからリマスターやってます
強化モードや速度変換など遊びやすくなってて楽しいです。昔出来なかった負けイベ相手を倒した後もしっかり専用セリフがあって面白かったです。最後まで遊びつくそうと思ってます
平行世界では主人公は死んでいて、プレイヤーの操作で２つの世界を行き来するって斬新だったんじゃないかな。
グラフィックもハイスペックな絵本みたいでかわいかったです。これぐらいの方がフィクションへの没入感があるかも。
シナリオは難しすぎたけど、アルティマニア込みだと好きです。
メガヒットはしなかったらしいけど、地道に愛され続けてほしい作品です。
can we have english subs? what are they talking about? highlights? please anyone? (silly me i found the caption button)
光田さんは数々のゲームの名曲を手掛けてきて、
ゼノギアスの飛翔や、遠い約束、SMALL TWO OF PIECES
ゼノサーガのpain、等一杯あるけれど
～時の傷痕～と、Radical Dreamers～盗めない宝石が光田さんのトップといってもいいぐらいずっと輝き続けてる曲だと思う
とにかく音楽が最高過ぎた
CHRONO CROSS 2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!
5月17日にシアトリズムファイナルバーにてクロノ・トリガーとクロノ・クロスの音楽がDLCとして来た記念に改めて拝見させて頂きました。加藤さん・光田さん含めて当時のスタッフの方々の想いの結晶である作品ですね。
出会いたい時に出会えて、創って下さってありがとうございますの想いをこの作品にずっと抱いています。
今でもこれからも多くの人に愛されていくのだといちファンとしてもとても嬉しいです。
27:14 ミゲルの部分はストーリー・音楽ともに最高だったけど、何よりミゲルがチート級の強さで太刀打ちできなかったのが強く印相に残ってる。笑
この期にお二方のインタビューが聞けるなんて😂
このゲームは自分の人生の一部なくらい、大切な思い出だな。
当時、ストーリー理解したくて勉強よりこっち頑張ってたな。
光田さんは音楽でしか接点無くて、動いてるの見れて本当にいるんだなって、改めてうれしい。（語彙力）
音楽だけでも生活の一部になってるくらい大好きな作品だから、裏側を見れることにすごく感謝です🙏
何周もして真エンディングを見た時に、最後、現実の自分自身にクロスした時の感動は今でも忘れられない作品です。大事な人生の体験の1ページになった作品です。
ありがとうございました。
Please please remaster Chrono Trigger!! Or just rerelease it. Please!
ゲームの中で1番好きな作品です。
サントラも何度も聞きました。
本当に嬉しいインタビューです( ´•̥ω•̥` )
ミゲルが1番すこ
if this game have anime version
this is one of the best for sure
音楽担当の光田さんがここまでストーリーを理解しているのは嬉しいし、凄い。。
神作品
ありがたや
ありがとうございました！
作品を描けるみなさんのクリエイティブの高さにはいつも感動をあたえてくれる
錚々たるメンバー。皆さん若い時にクロノトリガー作ってたのか…。
もう一回やろうっと
Chrono Trigger deserves a full remake with a fully performed soundtrack. I'd settle for the same graphics of Octopath, fully voiced too 😉
I really felt it was a missed opportunity for Chrono Cross that they just kept the music as it was. Too bad Mitsuda-san didn't at least get the music performed. The concert versions with Millennial Fair were perfect!

Thank you, just thank to both of you for giving a birth to a title that goes through beyond space and time!
Thank you for the wonderful memories!
デモ曲聞いてみたい
光田さんのギタースコア擦り切れるほど練習した（ものになってない）
