To this music, and to all those who were there, cheers. We have all grown up.

37 here. I guess this is the targeted audience =P.

[@HaunterOfKanto]

Did you hear your name called out to you and pass out too?

[@hickorydickoryhk]

I was doing the same thing a couple of days after you. And it felt as magical as when I first did it. CC is definitely a timeless classic, and I’ll always love the atmosphere of Arni in that opening section to pieces.

[@wanghiskhan7345]

@@HaunterOfKanto duh

[@wanghiskhan7345]

@@hickorydickoryhk 💯 I play this OST to get through work and it's nice to revisit the world (even if just feeling like a basic updated port) - the game is enough in itself

[@hickorydickoryhk]

@@wanghiskhan7345 I can’t count the number of times I’ve listened to the soundtrack to relax, the number of times I’ve just sung the songs to myself in my head, the number of times I’ve mentally escaped to the world of CC because it was preferable to the chaos of the real world, it’s definitely so comforting and soothing and Mitsuda really did create something marvelous and lasting with the OST. I was lucky enough to see him in concert performing CC music too. Truly awesome experience. I just started playing the PSN version on my Vita again, haven’t picked up the remaster yet but I’m sure I will. You’re 200% right, the game itself is more than enough, it will always stay in my heart, and doesn’t need a remaster to be there.

[@thecoarsegrindpodcast1645]

Chrono Trigger...Far Off Promise...my God, to have my Mom or Dad wake me up one more time on a summer day, in my childhood bed...I'd give the world.

[@Mooner5]

My 1st (Chrono trigger) and 2nd (Chrono cross) favourite soundtracks of all time!!!

[@JohnOethGuitar]

There will be much more from both games over the next few years.

[@JohnnyDarko01]

Im a simple man, i see chrono trigger / chrono cross i hit like

[@arnaldojuniormusic9246]

For me Chrono Cross has the best OST of all times!

[@strifeedits]

Same, along with all time favorite song Radical Dreamers

10代の夏の記憶が蘇ります BGMを聴くためだけにゲームを起動し、フィールドや街を旅した この思い出を共有できて良かった 素晴らしい演奏をありがとう

[@user-rd8js5be1o]

この方の演奏を寝る時に聴いていて、自分の葬式で流れてくれたらなあと思う。 本当にクロスの曲は心に沁みるし、演者さんの演奏がそれにプラスして昇華してる。 ....聴きながら感想書いてて泣きそうになる。

[@Odseus]

Google translate: I listen to this guy's performance when I go to bed and wish it was played at my funeral. Cross's song really touches my heart, and the performer's performance adds to it and sublimates it. .... I feel like crying while listening to it and writing my impressions.

[@nuanasainai]

100%同意します

[@turabhussain6492]

This took me back to being a kid, when nothing mattered except the time I spent with my brothers and sister. A time when squaresoft's jrpgs helped shape my thoughts and dreams. A time where all that mattered was how much time was spent with family and video games. Oh how much life has changed... Thanks for this.

[@markthomas7080]

It's more than Squaresoft. It's more than Enix. It's a memory. A wonderful place in time. This is awesome.

[@highresolutionrevolution8846]

nailed it, man

[@danzai]

yasumori mitsuda, his music has a bittersweet soulful longing to it that can't even be matched by uematsu

[@GBbern12]

Every research session of my bachelor's degree was spent listening to the CC OST. My cats would hop up on my workspace and immediately crash out and sleep on my desk. They are fans as well. Glad I found this page. Wonderfully done.

[@Bravehearte]

Wind Scene is really a good vibing song, it is the one that brings most of the memories from the game.

[@amazingcola2479]

It's the time when i don't have any problems in life. Missed my childhood times. Wanna tear up, but no tears coming.

[@highresolutionrevolution8846]

enough here for the both of us

[@michaelkohl4]

Amen.

[@travisproo87]

Thank you. My baby boy is one week old and I’m so happy to share your Chrono Cross OST with him. He’s sleeps peacefully to it, as do I and my wife.

[@JohnOethGuitar]

That's so awesome. Congratulations!!!

24:03 is a heart warmer. A reminder of simpler times as a child - with an imagination for the world that could be

[@danthovict381]

I can watch this guy playing all day long, and never bored.

[@anima331]

ギター1本でここまで表現できるとは！ 聴きながら寝落ちしたらいい夢見れる気がする

[@KingOfPopcorn]

At the time, I finished the game with the real ending (the one where you had to order the magic spells during the final battle). There was no youtube or spotify. I had recorded the music on a dictaphone :) I felt like I was the only one who enjoyed the soundtrack. What a pleasure to see that it's actually legendary. Plus, to see a young person playing these tunes beautifully is a treat.

[@baumaus9014]

Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross have such moving and timeless soundtracks. This really awakens all my nostalgia in a soothing way.

[@thalesatreides9566]

I just started playing chrono cross again since they re-released it. It's so much more then a game. It's a feeling,a fleeting but joyous memory. Nostalgia. I'm finding myself analyzing everything about Chrono Cross and how I feel about it. Hands down imo best game of all time

[@systemsgfk7062]

tale です。 Zeno verse です。

[@NeneChan203]

I love Chrono Cross to bits too. One of my favorite video games and a big part of my childhood. The music and the visuals are just... beyond beautiful. Truly magical.

[@fr4nlalala]

this rendition made me wants to play Chrono Cross and Chrono Trigger all over again!!!!

[@user-nc7yh9nj2t]

私は、Chrono CrossとChrono Trigerが好きです。ゲームの内容は勿論、ストーリーを色付ける音楽がとくに好きです。そのため、あなたが、私の大好き曲をギターで演奏してくれたことをとても嬉しく思います。 Thank you for playing the music that I love.

[@portaldjinn3681]

He did it! The man did it! Time stopped like in the Dead Sea when I heard this. Awesome stuff

[@kevinwalsh3077]

God how do u remember and hit all those notes perfectly AND manage to add your own style... Magnificent. True skill and talent.

[@LandoT-]

Algorithm brought me here. This is absolutely wonderful! What a talent you have.

[@Cronogoku]

Raindrops of happiness hitting my ear drums!

[@user-mj3bv8is4o]

It was like recalling one by one our previous lives, sometimes in the wilderness, sometimes diving into the deep sea, sometimes walking in the countryside, riding in a carriage, imagining ears of rice at dusk, standing in ruins, running through ancient brick-built cities and meadows, recalling our babyhood in the cradle. It was truly a good performance, as if to bring the winds of eternity to the present. I can't stop crying. Thank you! The best!!!!👏😭😭 DeepL translated 時に荒野を進み、時に深海に潜り、時に田舎を歩き、馬車に乗り、夕暮れの稲穂を想像し、廃墟に佇み、レンガ作りの古都や草原を駆けていた前世を一つ一つ思い返すような、ゆりかごの中にいた頃を思い出すような、 まさに悠久の風を今に届けるかのような、良い演奏でした。涙が止まらない ありがとう！！ 最高！！

[@FinalFantasyUnion]

Fantastic work John! Our daughters are obsessed with the music from Chrono Trigger/Cross, and this video really made their day. Hope you're well ~Darryl

[@JohnOethGuitar]

Awhhh thanks Darryl and company!

[@saintsfearful]

I remember learning Radical Dreamers on nylon string in high school like 16 years ago. Yasunori Mitsuda is an amazing composer. Well done!

[@cloudneostormful]

Yeah I kove the sound of classic acoustics

[@dif1982]

Just, close your eyes.... and listen this beautiful songs.

[@AndreCamposBass]

Amazingly well done, Yasunori Mitsuda would be proud

Dude, these songs remind me of my childhood SO much, nostalgia comes strong. And your flawless execution makes it even better, can't help but crying a bit just by listening! You are amazing.

The emotion you are putting into these songs! Yes they are fantastic to start with but you play with such feeling and it stirs me deep inside. Melancholy, sorrow, contentment and hope all flow from your guitar

[@chrismuratore4451]

I keep kicking myself for missing the streams live. Appreciate the fact that they can be revisited after upload. The climb to 50k has been slow(ish) but steady, you'll get there for sure bro =) Hope all is well for you and Nicole.

[@daviddobarganes9115]

By the time you get to "Far Off Promise", I can really tell you luxuriously dwell in all the right places with your fingering. Brings to mind why they call Clapton "Slowhands." Very respectful treatment of the pieces and shows you really understand the emotions evoked to get us to dwell right there with you. Great job.
