Chrono Cross Epic Orchestral Medley

[@RebeccaETripp]

All of my Chrono Cross standalones are officially on Spotify. :) open.spotify.com/album/5zefK91riW3G3rNTTt8qR0

[@jackdoe3990]

I love how much other people love Chrono Cross. Growing up it seemed like I was the only one.

[@RebeccaETripp]

There are comparatively few of us Chrono Cross lovers. At the time when it came out, there weren't many vg communities, no social media, etc, so it seemed like there were even less of us, since we were relatively scattered across the globe! Chrono Cross is and always was a niche game for hardcore philosophically minded people who cared more about story, imagination and music than action. Now we can all collect wherever there are Chrono Cross related things and spread the love, haha! Still, though, if you went to the Chrono Cross subreddit, for instance, its following is puny compared with say, Zelda or Pokemon (though that's not quite a fair comparison, given that CC is one installment in a 2.5 game series and those other large franchises). I, like many other people, would dearly love it if Squeenix would pick up the series again. :'( But I feel skeptical that it would be as good. They'd have to have just the right minds working behind it.

[@TemperedMedia]

The Chrono games were unique. I am thankful they stand as a testament to the true nature of gaming as an art form: they can only imitated, never replicated. In my opinion, this sentiment echoes through an older title, Super Mario RPG. Silly as it might seem, I've never really heard anyone talk about how the villain in that game (Smithy) was just trying to churn out an endless stream of soulless clones (weapons, actually). One of the final bosses was a clock, like one you might have once used at a place of employment (everything is electronic now). His lair is full of conveyors and is gray, desolate. The pinnacle of the game, the most malevolent force in the universe was a factory run by a blacksmith doing a copy/paste. Probably not their intent but it was just how I saw things. That said, I didn't like Chrono Cross, both as a game (the combat system) and for its story. I just wanted the protagonist to marry the girl, have kids and grow old in his little fishing village. D: Probably an overshare but oh well.

[@TemperedMedia]

Also, holy necropost, batman!

[@abdulbutt45]

@@RebeccaETripp Remake, tbh Rebecca!. its best if they left the game as it is, with the current gen gaming console and graphics work they are putting through. Take an example, Kingdom hearts. A master series I choose "story and Music" but the wait is killing. If Square Enix would take up on CC/CT as series and make a continuation including past remake.. its gonna take a decade. Like how someone can create something like this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXm1q36heZdjj68

[@vDorgengoa]

I love it too. I was a child when I played it. My uncle got it for me. It reminded me so much of Grandia 1.

[@RebeccaETripp]

Sergio Gonzalez Thank you. ^_^

[@cazd4590]

This game comes right at the pinnacle of the golden age of gaming. There is not a better time now or before. The passion and care that went into every aspect of these games is unmatched. I'd be hard pressed to find something worthy of being thrown into this "mix" in the last 10 years. The music, art. gameplay, and story just blended perfectly. This game is a masterpiece.

[@RebeccaETripp]

That was well put! I think the 2000ish era was Squaresoft's golden age as well. I also think there are other games before and after (if we're also going to include non-Square games) that are/were as good, but not in such high concentration.

[@cazd4590]

I can agree with that.

[@ChronoPhoenix]

Share the thought. FFIX ~ Chrono Cross itself end an epoch of love. There is nothing as passionate as the games made until them.

[@omarmendez4070]

You're absolutely right! This is my favorite game soundtrack ever! And I definitely come to love the game!

[@indoktrynator119]

I know it's been years since anyone commented here, but I just wanted to say that this game and this medley reminds me my childhood. It so great. When I turned it on, there was a tear in my eyes... Tear of love for this medley and a game. Great job!

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thank you. ^_^

[@danverbirch]

Still alive and vibing in 2020. This game change my life and the music has carried me throughout my path.

[@RebeccaETripp]

I relate to that so much.

You are not alone Dani... this game has something magical about it

[@magnoliakobler928]

2 years ago, I anticipated a remaster of this game. Today I have it on my Switch. All the while Trigger elitists were telling me otherwise because "Trigger is a better game." This game has given me so many memories. And that's what I'm here for. Memories and a good time. My mom would always voice Harle and Kid when dad would play. So it's memories of simpler times for me.

[@RebeccaETripp]

I'm so glad your family played this game together! That's lovely!

[@shumagorath9910]

Welp, Trigger is better but it has been ported a lot. Hope Chrono Cross gets more love so we can potentially have more Chrono's Universe content.

[@AlecMiguel-343]

INCREDIBLE! 🎉 thank you so much for sharing this with us all!

[@RebeccaETripp]

Emily glad you enjoyed it!

[@kikijade4120]

This makes me so unbelievably happy. I always loved Chrono Cross so much. It makes me sad at times to think there are gamers out there who've never experienced the wonder of this series.

[@RebeccaETripp]

+Pirupi Gets Bored I concur! It touched our hearts in away that cannot be matched by anything before or since.

[@troneja]

"Another Shore Dream" is really from other world. thank you C.C. creators for give me my best childhood

[@fapc666]

Doesn't matter how trash Square is nowadays, the fanbase will never let CC die. Your work is unworldly amazing, thanks for keeping our dream alive.

[@SanguineUltima]

I wish square hadn't gone to garbage city... They made virtually all my most favorite games growing up.

[@Lycanthromancer1]

Well, now we have FFVIIR, which does seem to be a major return to form in a lot of ways.

[@Tsumanne]

This game quite possibly had the best soundtrack of all time. This pays true homage to that great experience that was both the game and the music in symphony. Well done.

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thanks so much! :D

[@LArtEstExplosion]

Merveilleux!

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thanks! 🍬

[@indoktrynator119]

After some time I came back here just to say that we have a remaster. And I'm here to tell you that I fall in love in chrono cross and your music here again. Thank you for that master piece. I Hope we will see eachother someday, somewhere...maybe in other world or so. Hah. See ya mate!

[@RebeccaETripp]

This game was part of our souls! And many others!

[@ultimomos5918]

"Scars Left by Time" is still one of my favorite songs I've ever learned to play. Used to blast it on sax all the time as a kid lol. Ugh, this game has such a special and dear place in my heart.

[@NatStarlight]

Beautiful tribute to a beautiful game. I love how much environmental artwork you put in here; I love how this game looks, its locales are so artfully designed and rich with natural beauty. Fitting each arrangement with their locations really brought me into the world. My favorite parts were probably Gaea's Navel, The Dead Sea (easily one of my favorite tracks of the game), Star-Stealing Girl...well and pretty much everything that followed that actually. The whole medley is wonderfully and lovingly composed though! It reflects both the calming and emotional sides of this beautiful soundtrack. :)

[@RebeccaETripp]

Again, you move me! This is my favorite soundtrack, and these themes are hewn in my mind.

[@NatStarlight]

RebeccaETripp I feel very similarly about both Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross's OSTs. I have listened to them so much since first playing each respective game that their music has taken on a life beyond the games themselves and become a consistent soundtrack to my everyday life. I feel like I am never too far away from listening to these tunes for the ten zillionth time, and To Far Away Times still gets me all wistful, every time. :p In fact, I recently watched someone play the beginning of Chrono Cross and it was strange hearing the music in the context of the game lol I listen to the soundtrack constantly, but I haven't actually played the game since the summer of '08, so there was a moment where I was like, "oh, so that's where that song plays!"

[@krlos1819]

We born in the right moment to enjoy this awesome videogame, so nostalgic 16 years old playing and enjoying the OST 🎉

[@RebeccaETripp]

A very good game to grow up to!

[@Crisisdarkness]

these songs are beautiful, it is a game that never dies

[@sitesteira]

this game is simply my most important childhood memory. every year i play a new game at least 2 times

[@RebeccaETripp]

Wow! That's impressive!

[@NeoMCHenry]

I totally didn't cry at the beginning.. nor at the Star Stealing Girl.. nor at Radical dreamers.. pretty sure some Gobledygooks got into my eyes. Jokes apart, this is so beautifully arranged. I love CC and its OST and this medley sure is Epic, I love it and will hear it pretty often now that I found it. I cant highlight how much I appreciate your work and how amazing it is. Thank you!

[@RebeccaETripp]

They were tears of strength. And you're welcome! ^o^

[@XLightYearsAway]

The most bestest of music collab for the whole game. I cried, laughed, and remembered multiple times, over and over. 100% awesome

I send this message to all wholesome listeners here. Chrono Cross Remaster was recently leaked from Nividia Graphic support. There is not 100% that the remaster will be created but now my hope is healed with Full Revival

Let us pray! That would make the decade for me!

[@katmandu9295]

Our eyes and ears are unworthy! STUNNING work on this! The segment starting at 23:37 (Miguel battle theme/People Imprisoned by Destiny) gave me goosebumps. So hauntingly beautiful. Exceptionally well done!

[@RebeccaETripp]

[@avitusxenoi4378]

some absolutely incredible fan art here, from music to illustration. This wasn't a game, it was an experience. I hope the powers that be revive it in some way that does it justice. I still fall asleep to the map music from Another World all these years later...

[@mikeprado30]

I fall asleep with The El Nido Triangle or Sailing (Home World) 😊

[@IPerry8]

I desperately want to thank you from all aspects of my life, soul, and mind, for making Chrono covers, especially this absolutely gorgeous melody. This is and Julia's Radical Dreamers cover sparked my love for this series. I had never heard of it until I started becoming more active in the VGM community (all thanks to you might I add, love all your work!). But I just tonight, for the first time ever, completed Chrono Cross after binge playing the game for an entire week and a half straight. 40+ hours of hard work and soooo many tears. The game has broken me and formed me into a new being. I feel like a completely different person after this series of games. I am forever grateful for you for TRIGGERing this interest and new found love. Thank you for all your beautiful and well done covers. I couldn't name a better arranger who could tell a games story or any story like you can with these melodies and various covers! Bravisimo my dear friend!

[@beatricememmo6058]

Oh my God. The pictures, the music, the whole atmosphere... I had to repeat this whole collection the entire day. I admire Mitsuda and think that both Chrono's had an amazing track, maybe the best ones in game history. I really know a lot of different interpretations, versions, and remixes, but your whole "opus" in its entirety is absolutely amazing.

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thanks, Beatrice! You inspire me to keep on creating. ^_^

[@beatricememmo6058]

I hope so! :D

I don't think anyone appreciates Chrono cross for the sequel not sequel that it is. Well it has its own story that is only loosely related to its predecessor, the overall arching storyline entails that the original heroes saved the world, but they did it in such a way that allowed a remnant of lavos to try to resurrect himself.

+RebeccaETripp This is so quickly becoming one of my favourite Chrono medleys. So hard to pin-point which parts I like the most but some highlights for me include Termina and Dead Sea (particularly some of the extra melodies in that one). Gosh, it's so nice to hear some of the nuances of these pieces done such justice; only a fan who loves the original content could do this. Good job again.

Thank you!

[@joaquinb333]

Rebecca, outstanding work.. I somehow feel anyone who played and loved chrono cross has its soul connected with each other. Its the best game ever made and its music is beyond the physical realm I guess... Thank you for this amazing piece of art.. I get this familiar feeling with people that love the game as much as I do..Perhaps we might know each other from different past lifes, which reminds me of a phrase at the ending of the game "But im sure we'll meet again, someday you and I... another place, another time. Its just that we might not realize that you are you and i am me..."

[@RebeccaETripp]

+Joaquín Barahona Absolutely! I think you hit the nail on the head. ^^ The game is niche, and I think only a certain kind of person LOVES Chrono Cross above most other JRPGs. It's not just a game, or even just art- there is something deeper there. Thanks for your comment!

Absolutely loved your arrangement, and what I take as a tribute to Chrono Cross's music - it's one of my favorite OSTs also, and you did it great justice. Thank you, for making and sharing. Some of these pieces are so touching or make my spirit soar or feel inspired - I hadn't listened to this track in a while, and it was great to revisit them through your arrangement

[@RebeccaETripp]

You're welcome! Thank you also!

[@oliverkaufman9799]

^^ of course

[@Bulbonius]

YES! Been waiting eagerly for this. Chrono Cross is my favorite game and has my favorite ost. I can die happy now.

[@RebeccaETripp]

+bulbonius Was it a fun trip? ^_^ Thanks!

[@Bulbonius]

+RebeccaETripp Totally! My favorite part was People Imprisoned by Destiny

[@RebeccaETripp]

bulbonius Thank you. ^_^ I'm glad it moved you.

[@pinguchan1]

Ah wonderful! This is truly above and beyond a mere medley, as the sequence of tracks, the transposition, and layering all really play to the strengths of this OST's brilliant range. (Doesn't hurt that you picked some of my favorite tracks from the OST, either :D)

[@RebeccaETripp]

+Adam Matlock Ah, thank you for taking the time to listen to it. ^_^ I figured, as one Chrono Cross fan to another, you'd appreciate it.

[@masterof3light]

truly amazing, made me cry so many memories. this was my first Square game. it was gifted to me by my cousin who passed last month. thank you for making this ^^

[@RebeccaETripp]

+The XVth What a beautiful/wonderful first Square game. It's definitely my favorite! My best friend played through this game once when someone she loved left this plane. She found a lot of comfort in it.

[@masterof3light]

+RebeccaETripp my favorite song is scars of time / time's Scar I get confused with it's actual name. I remember being 6 or 7years old turning on my ps1 just to listen to repeatly xD.

[@ravenlord1000]

MY ALLTIME FAVOURITE MEDLEY!!! THX REBECCA!!

[@RebeccaETripp]

:'D I'm glad you liked it! ^_^

[@carlosbriseno9038]

This is just beautiful and amazing, I can't describe the feelings your work made me experienced, It was like a journey to my best memories, thank you for sharing it with the world. I can only imagine what a great person you are when reading your personal website. Greetings from México Rebecca!

[@RebeccaETripp]

Carlos, thanks for your beautiful message! ^_^ Greetings from Canada!

[@nickkelley9204]

OMF YES!! :D You even put in the mermaid town theme! I love that one!

[@RebeccaETripp]

+Nick Kelley That's one of my all-time favorite Chrono Cross themes. I had to!

[@kipperson777]

Your orchestral mixes are so good to listen to while working- thanks for all your hard work! I really like the rendition of Dragon Rider in here :)

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thank you, Cecil.

[@LifeLongRunner]

What a seamlessly beautiful piece. Each theme music is a memory of its own in the game.

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thanks!

[@elinacarmina3050]

The dream our planet once had Defeated the darkness and brought forth a brighter future. However, this was also the dawn of a new nightmare... The final battle over the legendary treasure, "The Frozen Flame" A battle between dragons, humans, and FATE That will surpass even space and time is about to begin... Our Planet's dream has not yet ended...

[@Geekanomicon]

At last! M'lady, I know not how to ever repay you for this medley! It is wonderful!

[@RebeccaETripp]

+Geekanomicon I'm moved, thank you. ^_^

[@Cyrus0587]

Hey Rebecca- This is very nice work! I would love to see full versions of these songs as an album! Chrono Cross has one of the best RPG soundtracks of our time and you nailed every track.

[@RebeccaETripp]

+Corey Segnitz Thanks so much, Corey! I'll be making full versions of some of them, as I thought the same thing about a lot of these- that it was a shame that each movement was so short.

[@LapisCatzuli]

omg i'm in love with this, your cover of dreams of the shore is incredible am tears ty

[@RebeccaETripp]

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@seananderson1292]

Wow, this is amazing. You, my good friend, did not disappoint, lol. This will be another medley to add to my daily playlist of music, since I listen to the OST all the time :) I'll be marathoning Chrono Trigger medley with this as well lol. Good choice in pictures, by the way.

[@RebeccaETripp]

+Evan Anderson (Eric, DivineFlame) Thanks a lot, Evan! I hope you're enjoying it. :3

[@RebeccaETripp]

Sorry in advance if I already told you about this! I'm having a live orchestra perform my Chrono Trigger medley soon, as it happens! ^_^ If you want to see the performance, there will be a livestream! facebook.com/events/174216413297453/?active_tab=about There's the event in case you're curious! I'm trying to spread the word! :D

[@kurtsalmon4417]

I've been waiting so long for you do to Another Overworld!!!! It's everything I wanted (though I wish it was a little longer). Favorite soundtrack in a game and you did an amazing job as always.

[@RebeccaETripp]

+Matilda Salmon Thanks so much, Matilda! I'm also going to be making a longer version of that theme at some point.

[@kurtsalmon4417]

OMG yes! That tune was my jam back in the day, and it was one of the first bass lines I ever learned.

[@dahoraa]

What a divine job! I can't describe how I felt... It's magical. n.n You brought piece to my heart, +RebeccaETripp. Thank you very much! Instant favorite! =D

[@RebeccaETripp]

+Thiago Gonzaga

[@dahoraa]

+RebeccaETripp You're welcome. =)

[@mikeprado30]

Such an IMPRESSIVE work, my friend! As my vacation time is finishing (next tuesday I'll be back at work and in this vacation time I've been playing this GEM), I did consider I should give a kind of starting of ending days of my free time until next year with this work. Missed Earth Dragon Island theme and also a vocalized Radical Dreamers version, but other than that, this medley is WONDERFUL 😊 Indeed this work reflects how much you love this game. In my heart will prevail Chrono Trigger over Chrono Cross (even when some events in Cross did broke my innocent memories from Trigger), but surely this game and its music will be in my top 10 of most amazing adventures in this kind of art. THANKS A LOT ONCE AGAIN, KEE! 😊

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thank you very much, Michael!

[@sephrinx4958]

Wow. This is so good. You have such a talent for making these tracks really come alive at the next level. Even more magical and enchanting.

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thanks, I really appreciate that a lot! ^_^

[@mike84brawn]

What was the start of all this? When did the cogs of fate begin to turn? Perhaps it is impossible to grasp that answer now, From deep within the flow of time. But for a certanty, back then We loved so many yet hated so much We hurt others and were hurt ourselves. Yet even then we ran like the wind Whilst our laughter echoed Under cerulean skies.... My first ps1 game chrono cross, I want to back old memories :(

[@RebeccaETripp]

[@DSKJr18]

It was my very first PS1 game, too! And one of my favorite games ever

[@ChronoPhoenix]

You started with the best.

[@csgamer89]

From childhood's beginning, to adulthood's twilight ending, I too can all too easily relate as to how truly powerful both Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross is, even in my thirtieth year of life on this beautiful world where we've hurt so many, and have hurt ourselves. And yet there is still joy and majesty to be found. And I've found it again thanks to this incredible medley.

[@heysup8889]

damn got a broken heart from this, reminds of a world long gone, but at least it was a beautiful world that lived. now we have new horizons and new adventures to live. thx for all your work !

[@RebeccaETripp]

+RoyalGuard10 Thank you, too. I know exactly how you feel! Sometimes, I wish I could just freeze time and exist in some moments forever- but the nature of "living in the moment" is that it's always changing and evolving. :) Never forget that- you can feel exactly as you did when playing Chrono Cross for the first time, but in a different way- the core is the same, but the circumstances change, and the lesson we're constantly learning and relearning from this is that the external stuff is transient and superfluous, while the internal stuff is eternal and pure.

[@heysup8889]

true words. like you said the external world will never stay the same but our memories stay with us much longer. Movement is life and with movement you will never be in the same place and you will always encounter new and exciting things ! Hoooray for what has been and what will come !

[@RebeccaETripp]

RoyalGuard10 :D Yes! And never try to force "the moment". Many of us spend our days pining for our childhood, because children naturally are able to live in "the now" and neither focus on altering their states of consciousness, nor engineering or recreating good experiences. They know how to simply "be". Often "the moment" happens at random, when we're not looking for it- a social person can spend a whole party weaving around individuals, trying to get a meaningful interaction to take place without results, and then suddenly spend the rest of the evening talking to a stranger in the kitchen by the salsa; the two find one another intriguing, as though exploring entire worlds within one another simply because the interaction happened so organically that it never even occurred to them to alter their behavior. Etc.

[@heysup8889]

ha yes of course, itll never work to try and force a friendship or a bond with a person. It is just something that happens if it works and becomes stronger with time ha. Couldn't agree more, good salsa story ha

[@Gerrywooh]

Yay! Thank you so much Rebecca! You sure did Mitsuda's original work justice! Keep up the great work, looking forward to what you have in store for us next :)

[@RebeccaETripp]

+Germain ^_^ Thanks. It's going to be Link's Awakening on the medley front. :3

[@GoddessOfThree]

WOW, this must have taken incredible creativity, talent, and effort! And time! This is beautiful.

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thanks! ^_^

[@DylanDekk]

You're seriously nailing the music of my childhood in amazing and mindblowing ways. Subscribed!

[@RebeccaETripp]

+Boringxtreme Xtreme :D Thanks!!

[@darknightzlegion4009]

this songs makes me travel again in my young age where i used to get inside the World of Chrono Cross. this game bacame part of me.

[@RebeccaETripp]

I feel that way also. Chrono Cross touched many hearts. Even though it's not as well known as some other comparable RPGs, it had an extra layer of magic about it, I feel.

[@hermanozenaide19]

This is perfect

[@CrystariumNet]

Absolutely Stunning, Chrono Cross is one of my favorite games of all time and its due to no small part from the music itself. The soundtrack is higher than god tier.

[@RebeccaETripp]

I couldn't agree more. ^_^

[@AM-zk7jm]

No word to describe how amazing this is!

[@RebeccaETripp]

+Exiled Shadow ^_^ Thanks so much. Of all my medleys, I worked hardest on this one.

[@AM-zk7jm]

RebeccaETripp I can tell, well done Rebecca :)

[@lirathelost7484]

Loved your Dragon God btw. Send shivers down my spine.

[@RebeccaETripp]

+AJ Phares :'D

[@Esfenoides93]

I use to hear your tracks everytime i study, so thanks!

[@RebeccaETripp]

I'm really glad they are helping with your studies!

[@PaulFarrerMusic]

Absolutely tremendous! I've never played the games myself , but this was still a treat to listen to!

[@RebeccaETripp]

+Paul Farrer Thank you so much, Paul. ^^ I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@derrickpalmiter369]

Love your music Rebecca. You do a great job of adapting and giving it your own flair, while staying true to the original. Keep it coming, please.

[@derrickpalmiter369]

+Derrick Palmiter Am wondering if you have ever played the Suikoden series?

[@RebeccaETripp]

+Derrick Palmiter No, I haven't, but I'm well aware of it. :)

[@RebeccaETripp]

+Derrick Palmiter Thanks. ^_^ I'm about to upload a Minish Cap one.

[@derrickpalmiter369]

Suikoden was one of my favorites growing up, you should check it out if you get the chance. :)

[@robTCGZ]

Finally!!! My Favorite game. I'll be listening to this all night

[@RebeccaETripp]

+robTCGZ Did you enjoy it? :D

[@robTCGZ]

RebeccaETripp I LOVED IT. The ending brought tears to my eyes. You cannot imagine how much love this game and its music

[@RebeccaETripp]

robTCGZ I'll bet I can. ;) I sank months into expressing it. :3

[@robTCGZ]

RebeccaETripp It definitely shows. I closed my eyes and I could see fort dragonia, I could feel the coldness of the dead sea, and the tranquility of the sea. Please, never stop making your music.

[@RebeccaETripp]

robTCGZ ^_^ Thanks.

[@KingZylo]

Chrono Cross's story was so complex (a little haywire at times) that I needed to return to the series as an adult to fully grasp it. Incredible closure to an incredible series, I just hope Crono Marle and Lucca got their happy ending after what appeared to be a tragic end for our heroes.

[@RebeccaETripp]

Likewise!

[@ReHawkNRoll]

I just discovered your CT & CC Epic Orchestral Medley. Amazing work !

[@RebeccaETripp]

+ReHawkNRoll ^_^ Thanks for listening to them!

[@bsurname462]

This is amazing!! God this brought me back. SO super good!

[@RebeccaETripp]

^_^ Thank you. Chrono Cross is such a lovely game.

[@Duplucky5]

Just beautiful medley. I need to play at this awesome game once again. Thanks to made this.

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thank you.

[@cleveroliveira6727]

Ahhhh Chrono Cross! What a good sensation! Thank you for this! Love from Brazil!

[@RebeccaETripp]

:D So glad you enjoyed it! ^_^ Love from Canada.
