[@BingBangPoe]

Chills all over my spine. Everyone talks about Nobuo Uematsu, but Yasunori Mitsuda is also a living legend on par with him.

[@Geth-Who]

Mitsuda does for JRPGs what Joe Hisaishi does for movies.

[@Dougidogg69]

They're both great to be honest, but I love Go Ichinose too.

[@sulianperinet2947]

I prefer Mitsuda but they are both legends, and imy Uematsu was far better in composing battle musics (I still think this is Mitsuda's weakness)

[@iShamelessly]

My absolute favorite thing of this entire performance is the sheer energy that the drummer and congas player share in this performance. It's positively electric and elevates this entire production through the roof, they both looks like they are having the time of their lives and it makes everything about this so memorable.

[@compucocina5567]

I love at 1:41 when you can see that the drummer and the percussionist are having so much fun... That's a clear sign of great music, what a beautiful thing.

[@thekingofkeith5711]

This is the best piece of music ever written for a video game.

[@JaysMacro]

It's absolutely incredible the amount of emotion and energy that can be felt through this music.

[@ScootsLounge]

There's just something magical about this opening song. The calming melody at the start proceeded by the kick ass main melody, and the flourishes of the main violinist. And of course the Bongos going wild in the background. This is just an amazing song, and I fell in love with it the first time I booted up Chrono Cross. Its phenomenal that both Chrono games can have such legendary opening themes!

[@Manhsterz]

This cover of chrono cross is one of my favourite piece of music. It's absolutely amazing how altogether you manage to combine orchestra, electric guitar with those percussions ! So much energy and joy ! It's probably my headphones but the violin sounds a bit too "high pitch" for my ears :D. Thanks for sharing and for your performance !

[@medigoomnis]

Probably the best live performance I've heard of this...particularly because they kept it up to beat. Wow.

[@cooldebt]

This was also a brilliant live performance by The Consouls - beauty, elegance and groove kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6SngWx6pdWgiNk

[@xenogearssoundanddrama2378]

Was on a Chrono Cross music kick 3 months ago and found this fantastic version, which is now a mainstay on my CC song list. Just so excellent, love it! I recently found your other stuff by (ironically) looking for more orchestrated CC versions that sound like yours. Looking forwards to more of your performances.

[@teezap4688]

This is incredible , my goodness. I could listen to this all day and night

[@priyowahono3335]

[@christopherhall5361]

You know a song is good when the performers are clearly having the time of their lives, it adds a whole new element to it.

Круто! Любимая игра! Просто супер. А музыка огонь!

[@kakagi789]

最高！大好き！なんて情熱的な演奏！

[@flamedance58]

To those with good ears will notice there isn't that weird sound at 6-8 seconds. It's apparently a bass guitar or other guitar bit for whatever reason. But once you listen for it in the pre--recorded versions it's hard not to hear it.

[@flamedance58]

I'll add it's a bit disappointing this song isn't on their Spotify :(

[@SergeWazuki]

I think most of people might think it was kind of error during production, but it was actually intentional. The 20th Anniversary Live Tour performance clearly has it at 4th-5th second: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipbIk6yggqyjl6M I don't know how to describe it, but looks like the artist intentionally touched the instrument to create that sound.

[@joshuaozturk3021]

[@ninonazreenmatic]

My entire childhood right here - playing on a rainy Friday morning, classes suspended, my two younger brothers glued to the old CRT as much as I am - the scent of fabric softener wafting in the living room as the clothes were hung in a makeshift clothesline in the garage. Who knew that moment would be all but fleeting. Now I heard this again, a tear on my face, as I fondly remember the days that went by playing the game, having Serge explore that world and all the colorful characters we had recruited together.

Man this is so good. I share it with anyone and everyone. Incredible. I can tell the entire orchestra was into it, too. Which is incredible.

[@PigDaddy2020]

This is my favorite video game song of all time. Hard to listen to this version tho when I've heard the IGC orchestral version however. This one does have a nice flourish the the end however. Would highly recommend you give the other a try too, I'd be curious to know what you think. Perhaps the version one listens to first is the one that always resonates most. Just wanted to share one with you, lol! Edit: upon a few more listens this one is starting to grow on me too! They each make nice counterpoints to one another, with this one being more drum and guitar heavy.

[@user-pi1lb4tf2f]

@@sabin97 well that's the ideal thing to want but given most of the creators of these games are already past their prime or already in retirement, we can't expect to have the same quality of inspired masterpiece. Then the younger generations are still trapped in the same old system oiled by corporate greed that such creators cannot express their artistic passion unless the game will be a guaranteed sales. Back then games are still being mined that most of the direction is lead by the game creators themselves but now, knowing that there is infact gold in gaming, the corporations made sure to take the lead while the creators follow without resistance.

[@keselekbakiak]

the golden era of JRPG. the good old time of frustating random battle while exploring, talking to all NPC cause you got stuck, facing a boss with zero knowledge of its element and pattern, hoarding healing potions till the last boss, and got frustated by hidden/extra boss.
