line of death

When you first heard this track in a boss battle, didn’t you charge at the enemy in an indescribably hyped-up state? That’s when this piece, “Lifeline,” plays.

It also plays during the dream in the opening.

Kicking off an adventure with this song makes you think, “What’s going to happen?!” It’s an insanely cool track for battle scenes, too!

Drowning Valley

It’s a very striking piece that begins with a piercing flute melody.

The music lets you picture the valley’s beautiful blue-green scenery, doesn’t it? In the music that follows the flute, you can sense the depth of the valley—so deep it feels like you might drown in it.

Just by listening, you can feel the sparkle of clear water and the lushness of deep green nature! It’s a track that makes you feel like you’re being drawn into the game’s world.

Life ~A Distant Promise~

This piece that plays in the epilogue starts with single notes, with long intervals that evoke a sense of a “sign” or “harbinger.” Gradually, the intervals tighten and the music swells into something grand.

It feels like a single point of light in the darkness growing larger until everything is enveloped in radiance.

It’s a track that beautifully reflects the epic adventure of Chrono Cross.

gale

This song, for which the word “gale” fits perfectly, is truly a battle theme.

It feels like it uses a lot of flashy percussion.

The string-like sounds are somehow unique, too! It really captures a fight you just can’t afford to lose, doesn’t it? Every time I listen to this track, I remember all those sweaty-palmed battles I’ve been through…

Don’t you get that feeling? It’s such a cool battle song!

Garden of the GodsMitsuda Yasunori40rank/position

Garden of the Gods

In this game, there are several times when you fight dragons who are deities, and this is the song that plays when you face them.

Those who have played the game will know what I mean, but I think this piece really captures the dragons’ strength and divinity.

Don’t you think the choral-like sound further accentuates their godlike presence?

Voyage: Another WorldMitsuda Yasunori41rank/position

Voyage: Another World

Even though it’s a song for the same ship, this one is from a different world.

Maybe that’s why it uses a similar melody.

This one is exciting too, but it feels a bit more subdued.

It seems to have a stronger healing/soothing vibe! We can see the path ahead now, but it might still be expressing some lingering unease.

The sailing themes in this game both have their own unique charm!

Voyage Home World

This is the song that plays when you obtain a ship that lets you travel across various lands.

This one is for the Home World, so it’s the track from the world where the protagonist grew up.

It’s the kind of song that really gives you courage! It perfectly captures that sense of excitement for what’s to come.

I bet some of you players felt your spirits lift a little when you heard it, didn’t you?
