Hidden gem: Chronomantique

A reggae arrangement of the familiar main theme from Chrono Trigger.

Reggae is a popular music genre that originated in Jamaica, known for its distinctive instrumental techniques and rhythms.

Doesn’t this piece also feel somewhat different from the original main theme, with a more ethnic vibe? It plays in the rebuilt Snakebone Manor, and it fits the atmosphere of the building perfectly.

MAGICAL DREAMERS ~Wind, Stars, and Waves~Mitsuda Yasunori23rank/position

MAGICAL DREAMERS ~Wind, Stars, and Waves~

It’s a track that feels like a fusion of rock and folk music.

As you progress through the game, there’s a concert, and this is the music from it.

I never imagined the guitar would pair so well with such a distinctive melody…! The person who performs this concert is a character named Slash.

It kind of makes you think of a certain band’s Slash… (laughs).

RADICAL DREAMERS ~The Unstealable Jewel~

If you’ve played Chrono Cross, you were surely moved during the end credits as you listened to the depth of this song’s lyrics and its crystalline voice.

RADICAL DREAMERS is a single track that captures the essence of the game Chrono Cross with poignant clarity.

The ending is a scene filled with a bittersweetness that will make anyone gasp.

This singing voice is a game song that strikes straight to the heart.

A fore-lost, flickering light

This piece is the complete opposite of a victory fanfare—it’s the music that plays when your party is wiped out.

It has a melancholy feel, like driftwood washed ashore at sea.

Whenever it started playing, I’d think, “I really messed up…” and feel down for a while.

It perfectly captures that overwhelming sense of total defeat.

When you lose in a game, doesn’t it really sting?

Galdove Home

This cheerful track plays when you arrive in the town of Gardove.

The story is full of tense scenes, but don’t you feel healed only when you come here? There are many events where you can make new companions, and I think it also expresses the excitement of having reached a new town.

A new town is always thrilling, right? It’s a piece that brings the player’s feelings like that to the forefront.

Chronopolis

Chrono Cross often features scenery that really resembles tropical islands, but the dungeon called Chronopolis suddenly shifts to a near-futuristic atmosphere.

Since it’s the track that plays as you approach the core where the world splits in two, it carries a sense of tension and kind of makes your heart race…! The rises and falls of the music also have a unique feel, almost like you’re listening to electronic sounds.

It’s a mysterious piece, isn’t it?

A funky track that plays on the Invincible! I remember the captain had a pretty outrageous personality, but he was still dandy (lol).

This song recreates that captain’s over-the-top vibe.

Do you remember it—after you make it to the end of the Invincible, the name of the captain’s pet? The game has a lot of serious scenes, but I feel like this bright tune helps keep the overall balance.
