[@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.

[@rupertmurdoch4750]

Ya know, I normally im pretty good about thinking through big picture stuff, but I have never been able to get my head around why JRPGS were SOO good 1995-05ish and then got virtually unplayable. Decay of Japanese culture? Too much anti-save the planet, pro-capitalism, endorsement of materialism and greed?

[@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. That was the best time ever.

[@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.

Intros to RPG was one of the special things to witness as a gamer back in the day. It was a form of foreshadowing and also a hype technique to convey the type of adventures you're about to take. Looking back at my childhood, I never realized how special that is since we seldom experience that in games anymore. I truly am grateful to experience that. And this video helped me relive that moment. It gave me Goosebumps.

[@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!

[@thundermorphine]

The most epic video game intro music of all time imo. This performance not only reminds me of my memories playing Chrono Cross, it also takes me back to a simpler time when I was a kid. I'm 35 now and the effect of this music on me hasn't changed one bit. Scars of Time indeed.

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.

[@Atamastra]

This rendition is so good, I come back to this about once a week (for the last 3 years). There is something so moving about the music of Chrono Trigger/Cross. I'll be honest, I never played Trigger as a kid (I did with Cross tho, and I always let the whole intro play every time), so I'm not quite sure if its just tingling my nostalgia or not. No... its the leitmotifs, the rises and falls, how the composition resolves at the end, it all seems to twang a deep deep DEEP cord in my soul. It chokes me up every time, even now trying to explain it. It's like the music echoes the epic-ness of the story behind it, it seems to marry the hauntingly vast emptiness of eternity with the staggeringly beautiful importance of BEING, of cherishing the moments within the flow of this phenomenon we call time, for this brief hyphen of consciousness we experience between the maternity ward and the grave.

[@AutoNomadic]

WOW. That's exactly why it's my favorite game of all time. This game story is DEEP. Never played it the same way twice. If you captured your comment on a t-shirt, I'd probably buy it lol

[@HighFalutinTootin]

You have to play chrono trigger it is a must play and I'm not even a turn based RPGs fan..or at least I wasn't until I rented chrono trigger from blockbuster video in 1995 and I never returned it I paid them for it best 25$ I ever spent

[@Atamastra]

@@HighFalutinTootin I should clarify, I did not have the childhood nostalgia tingles for Chrono Trigger because I didn't play it as a kid, but I did play it as an adult. Many times. Huge JRPG fan here. But I did play Cross, only once all the way through, and that was steeped in enough time (ironically enough) that it earned those tingles.
