I love chrono trigger, and I’m only 13.

[@Vitrous]

Yeah I saved everyone and defeated Lavos. You're welcome everybody

I am literally 20 years old and I also love Chrono Trigger Edit: Actually, a lot of my friend group loves Chrono Trigger, and I'm older than almost all of them. We are pretty well-versed in gaming and a lot of even obscure games like Ico, Resonance of Fate, or even Phantom Dust.

[@GCJACK83]

The black wind howls. One among you... (Insert dramatic pause for gravity) Will soon perish. That's how I always read it when it comes up in the game.

[@laraa739]

☆go1☯ I didn't even know it was an easter egg until I read it somewhere else so I thought it was the normal music. It made sense because it was too good not to reuse and if there was someone that should have it it would be his mother

[@TerminalMontage]

This is so good!!

[@RefriedBeanie]

Eyyyyyyy terminalMontage big fan, nice seeing you here

[@shawnspeedie960]

Please do a Chrono Trigger animation. I played the game for the first time in January last year and I now love it to death. It would mean a lot to me if you could

[@Shadlocke33]

The beauty of all your renditions is that you capture the SPIRIT of these games, not just the notes of their music.

[@SephirothRyu]

Thou speaketh true! T'would make one not even mind being a frog!

[@boredomisinfinity5642]

BUCKLE UP, WE'RE CRASHING THE EPOCH INTO LAVOS HIMSELF! TO 1999 AD!

[@SephirothRyu]

Uh, sure, go do that. Its a silly plan. And you will not have any time machine afterwards, in the event of cat mayhem or something. But sure, go ahead and sacrifice one of your greatest assets to bust open something you could totally kill easily without it.

[@ScourgeIsBestVillain]

@@SephirothRyu Well, if you do that, you SKIP THE FIRST PHASE!!! it's just battling the same bosses again...If you crash the Epoch into him, you SKIP IT!!! so, if you want to get to the REAL fight, YOU CRASH IT INTO HIM!!!

[@LilacMonarch]

All my homies fight Lavos in 10000 BC. Take him out ASAP and stop the disaster before it can even happen

[@Ilikecatsismychannelname]

The only thing missing are the Lavos noises. I swear the sound guys had WAY too much fun combining and fiddling with various noises until they came up with a cry that sounded truly alien. ....I freaking love this cover, by the way.

[@thecountercounter9127]

It also didn't have that effect in the final battle where the noises zoomed from one ear to the other when you wear headphones, which made me sad! When I heard that for the first time, I thought that was the COOLEST shit

[@thecountercounter9127]

@Ben Siener if my headphones dont get blasted the fuck out by lavos REEEEEEEEEEEing i dont wanna hear it

[@PerfectKirby]

Honestly, I’m perfectly fine without the Lavos noises blasting my ears rofl

[@Lv-nq9qz]

All these years later, that sound effect still makes my skin crawl.

[@syrelian]

@Ben Siener No, the "REEE" thing started on 4chan, as mocking autists and pretty much anyone else they didn't like because they had a sense of sympathy

[@medigoomnis]

Destruction rains from the heavens!

Best version of "World Revolution" I'd ever heard.

[@templar19]

I never thought anyone could make the Inner Core theme anymore apolcalyptic than it already was...but you did!

[@Staznark]

7:51 - I stopped my important work and had to IMMEDIATELY come here to write this comment, like and subscribe, all for that part just there. This entire symphony is time's entrusted gift to us.

[@sparkpenguin]

that organ flourish at like 1:55! i am in LOVE!

[@machinfacultatif9012]

Do you want to make me cry with this amazing rendition ? Because that's how you get me to cry with amazing renditions.

[@eyeyosef]

You wanna cry? You REALLY wanna cry? You'll hear a "bang!" xD kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2KonZ-clsl9ldU

[@ElementalEcho]

You really captured the feel to these songs... i pray often they remake CT the same way they did ff7... could you imagine?

[@Joanarr]

This is our planet! And we're taking it back! ~Marle

[@TheMixedPlateFrequency]

Chrono Trigger has one of the best music during its time for video games and still is good right now.

[@bfranciscop]

This is the best rendition of World Revolution I've ever heard. You're the first remixer I've seen to get that this song needs a deep and powerful brass section.

[@thearchangel2716]

Lavos, the dream devourer, and the destroyer of worlds, he may have powers akin to a god, but that doesn't mean he's immortal!

[@slimebuck]

La VoS es DeuS

[@andresmarrero8666]

He is just a parasite, the dream devour thing shouldn't even had been possible in the first place.

[@Nickle_King]

If SquareEnix ever pulls their head from their ass and remakes Chrono Trigger, they should ABSOLUTELY call these guys to for the soundtrack.

[@Jorash_Barison]

Funny thing though is that there is no 'these'. This is a one man show that you are enjoying. :) But seriously, I agree with you.

[@Nickle_King]

I found that out after I posted this. Which is REALLY impressive.

[@redbeard3574]

Agreed.

[@jamesbeare376]

Please god dont remake this game. Leave well enough alone...

[@herculejoestar5809]

I'll take an actual sequal that follows the canon ending (marle and crono going to find his mom) lavos and the gates came from somewhere having that explained would be nice and would make for a better game the crono cross

[@AeltgenXIV]

This needs like 500 million more views

[@Bonbon-og7cw]

The song World Revolution is by far one of my favorite themes in any game. Chrono Trigger still stands as my all time favorite game to play. Your renditions of these themes brings so much nostalgia to me that i almost tear up. You're doing such a great job at all of this so please keep it up!

[@genericmanchild]

That's my favorite boss theme

[@Reenfoque]

25+ years and this still gives me the same chills from the first time I fought that world destroyer... thank you so much for so much epicness!!!! :D

[@tagonistknightspublishing8972]

I cry every time I listen to this version. It captures the essence of what it was like playing this game for the first time and getting to the end. My heart is racing, a part of me is scared I won't make it, then when I did it... The ending... The music, the epic conclusion, it was the a glorious moment in my gaming life.

[@SamoStudios]

I'm glad to hear that!

[@tagonistknightspublishing8972]

You are welcome! If you ever do anything for Final Fantasy 8, I would love to hear that!

[@Solicyte]

just felt chills listening to this and I am right back in 1995

[@thomasnvsbrasilpe]

3:58 - Wonderful Image/Picture

[@ryangallagher9723]

Let's party like it's 1999!

[@Terrekain]

I think one of the biggest reasons this is so compelling is the reverberation/hall effect. So many renditions of this music doesn't convey the scale of what this battle was meant to represent. In this remix, you feel like you're in the massive presence of Lavos with song echoing from the heavens. All too many other remixes make you feel like you're listening to the music in a small room, whereas this gives you the sheer scale of the battle. It's the same with Dillard's other compositions like his Star Trek medley; the reverberations are perfect for a surround effect that immerses the subject as if the space in which he is listening is as vast as the outer reaches of space itself. Brilliantly done.

[@Electricfox]

I've listened to a few remixes of the Lavos battle, but this one is definitely the most epic, that vocal in the background...I could just have an entire song of just that part and be happy.

[@kuriatsu]

I loved this remix of Chrono Trigger music. I could see the ending practically as it was zooming out on the earth on the snes. I nearly cried. You are absolutely amazing!

[@ayrmont]

Nearly cried? You need to, you gotta cry your eyes out!

[@Ragnadrok111087]

This perfectly captures the feeling I had when I first got to fight Lavos. Beautifully done!

[@Ya2te]

何度聴いても最高！

[@brandonandveronicavandb2005]

One day, long from now, loooong from now.....we shall see a real Chrono Trigger movie, with everything they have thrown at it.

[@thelittleghost2302]

This should be an anime I mean the guy who made Dragonball did the artwork and stuff so it's possible I would definitely watch it as an anime you would also be able to get more in it than a movie I feel like a movie would have to skip over way to much stuff

[@moabman6803]

It couldn't be fit into a movie. Too long of a story.

[@Canalnameyouhappy]

Some stories are meant for movies, other for books, this one is for a videogame. An anime or movie would never be good enough.

[@MrNeutralizer]

@@thelittleghost2302 How about a movie Trilogy? They could make that work.

[@akron3233]

@Lavos I think i would have preferred to have chrono then dbz.

[@thamonito]

You've perfectly captured the essence of this music. Thank you so much for this!

[@jpbaysari3446]

Absolute brilliance. The gravity of this cinematica is undeniable; and I won't deny it. Sam, you're a gift. May the world appreciate your talent.

[@SamoStudios]

Thank you!!

[@Smokescale]

This is my all time favorite piece from the whole of Chrono Cinematica. You work is nothing short of masterful. I'm super jazzed about Zelda and got in on the kickstarter as early as I could. My only regret is that I can't afford to contribute any more than I have. Seeing how well it's doing, I feel a little better about my inability to just throw cash at you and scream "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!"

[@SamoStudios]

Thank you! Honestly, even if everyone just backed for like a few bucks, the fact that so many people have turned up to show support is somehow more encouraging to me (as an artist) than the actual funding, but I'm happy we will be able to produce more discs for Chrono and probably Metroid, and maybe even get vinyl releases which would be really cool

[@no_idea8012]

I have no words to describe how underrated your work is.. I feel like *every* person that played Chrono Trigger *MUST* listen to your _remakes_ of CT's songs. It's genuine perfection, it captures the game's atmosphere perfectly, it makes me feel completely immersed and imagining how each area of which each song belongs to, would look like on today's graphics. If there's ever a CT remake, I feel like you should be hired, hell, even if they would just throw in your remakes without any editing, it would be perfect already.

[@joebaumgart1146]

The greatest video game ever made.

[@ronaldstewart5409]

Truest words ever spoken!!!!!

[@DeusExMachinaX8]

Beautifully done! A lot of very fond memories came rushing back while listening to this amazing piece!

[@Jarangel87]

It makes me think about the part where the Kingdom falls, but in the aftermath you can see a girl standing next to the bag of seeds, hope.

[@frozenfragment]

I'm pretty sure I forgot to breathe for 9 minutes.

[@nfrmptbongo9439]

Do you by any chance want to be a pirate?

[@AJDojutrek]

I came here from listening to Seiken Densetsu 3/Trials of Mana music. This rendition brought a tear to this old man's eye, it brought me back to the final battle against Lavos when I first did it all those years ago and the soaring heights knowing that the future really could change afterward. I've heard many renditions of these three songs over the years, but none have moved me so thoroughly. Thank you.

[@ExileOfBrokenSky]

tfw you played this game daily after school as a kid, got every ending repeatedly with lvl☆☆ characters. my favorite was the ending with Chrono and Marle carried away on balloons. The balloon ride fit 'To far away times' alot better than racing around in the Epoch imo

[@Lucidiasans]

This was spectacular. Absolutely stellar work, The fade in from To far away times to Cronos main theme was utterly superb!! Complete excellence!

[@daniellclary]

So glad to find someone actualy remix this. final boss music is not remix enough.

[@agiar2000]

Absolutely beautiful! Both the visual art and the musical adaptation! Gorgeous!

[@GamalJesus]

This music got me so filled with memories of the game! Beautiful!!!

[@coltondodger]

The incredible thing about Lavos, is that it is a present threat throughout the entirety of the game, and never speaks to the heroes. It's arguable that the Villains enthralled by Lavos' power (Like the Queen of Zeal) May have never even communicated with it themselves. Lavos, in that way, is like a force of nature, a cog in the machinery of reality....making the hero's victory all the more incredible within the story. Lavos is not the master of all the villains of the story, but rather their logical endpoint. Lavos is the distilled failures of those Crono and the gang fought against.

[@Damianweibler]

Final Fantasy 7 remakes gives me hope. Not because it is my favorite far from it. If it is a success then perhaps we can one day get a Chrono Trigger as a remake. One day just maybe.

[@Haseo135]

Could you imagine Chrono Trigger given a remake using a battle system similar to what will be used in the FF7 remake? The mix of real time and ATB

[@Haseo135]

Lavos, yeah you're right. Chrono Trigger doesn't need a remake. It's perfectly great the way it already is. But it's fun to imagine, it's cool to think about the possibilities 😄

[@nidyamarcelaandrade4869]

A Chrono Trigger remake?

[@BigJonB36]

Or finally release of Chrono Break to tie up the loose ends from Chrono Cross and the DS Remake of Chrono Trigger

[@PerfectKirby]

I think you’re expecting too much out of Square

[@darrenmoxon9622]

An entire generation called for Final Fantasy 7 to be remade and it happened. The greatest RPG of all time with the greatest game soundtrack of all time deserves a complete remake. So many memories from this music, astonishing work.

[@melficexd]

@Lavos do you know what does that mean? That this game is prefect as it is, alas, FFVII will always be the imperfect FF

[@NecroxTheGamer01]

Amazing, I cried too!

[@Ashgrom]

Dear me how have I not come across this earlier. This is the best instance of World Revolution I've found, the first ever to surpass the feel fighting Lavos in game has.... That's an instant subscription.

[@Sagatta32]

Beautiful. I really like the final battle part. The transition to more calm & peaceful was abrupt but I become emotional as it touch my heart. I cherish all of Chrono Trigger.

[@Mr-Moron]

When the world ends, where will you be? Cowering in fear? Or facing your doom? No one will live to know, so there won't be regret. Chose wisely, hero.

[@a-terrible-fate532]

you have done a great job on this remix ! sounds great ! Chrono trigger is a great game, one of the best jrpg's of all time, Chrono cross has my heart out of the two games though.

[@spehizle]

[@DrownedInExile]

Lavos is free of conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality. It knows only... hunger.

[@mrbmoney2396]

This game needs a mini series

[@zachwhiteman869]

It is decided. After so many years of having this game around, I MUST make some sort of animated homage to this masterpiece!

[@SephirothRyu]

The only possible downside to this is: World Revolution, as well as the ending theme, are not separate and full songs in their own right. Because frankly, that would be awesome.
