I always wonder, these japanese composers back in the day...did they know that they would influence a group of gamers so deeply that they would recollect, lovingly, about these songs deep into their adult years? These old songs from NES/SNES days will stay with me forever. Thank you so much Yasunori Mitsuda!

i dont know but game music composers back then used to just put lot of love into their works, look at pictionary and despite how bad that fame is just hear its ost

i have its the tfs remix where piccolo beats the crap out of frieza 2nd form. and yeah they confirmed it is magus's theme.

The acid jazz arrangement is interesting. Done by the original composer too. But yeah, it's more an exploration of the melody and themes in a new genre, not really an improvement over the original.

Man this brings me back....That rush you get when that theme kicks in and you heard it for the first time before one of the most epic clashes in gaming history.... I can probably count on two hands the number of times a game has pulled that perfect vibe off, and about 70 percent of those were square games. Man I miss their old teams....The ones who loved JRPGs and their complex turn based mechanics and engaging epic storylines But those teams have moved on except a couple here and there, who instead of building these epics they want instead to sell you an interactive movie that plays more to tropes and fan fiction (or yanks your nostalgia chain rather than giving you something new to be nostalgic about one day) and tries to appeal to mass marketing by changing the games genre for a wider audience. People buy final fantasy or a chrono trigger because they want more of what the original offered....If people wanted cheesy action games wearing the skin of final fantasy or chrono trigger (Like Remake, rebirth, or that terrible new Valkryie profile sequel they made....) they would get something else. Back then, they made stuff because its what they wanted to make. Now they make games based on marketing graphs.....Such a shame. But it makes these classics all the more valuable.

This song plays if you bring Magus to the fight with Queen Zeal as opposed to the usual major boss theme. How fitting considering if that is the case then you aren't fighting the boss: You ARE the boss and Magus will let her know it!

Your party learns techs 2,Magus already can do every of those. Masamune lowers Magus's magic defense. The triple tech of Robo Crono and Frog is the best to counter his barrier *only one element damages him*
