Musical Monday: Chrono Trigger
11 years ago
General
For anyone that knows me, they'll probably know I'm absolutely in love with video games music. I grew up around this stuff and much of it left a lasting impression. With that said, I think I'll start doing a little thing where I pick a game or two and post my favorite tunes from each.
For this inaugural addition, we have the old SNES classic, Chrono Trigger. Most of the music was done by Yasonuri Mitsuda. It was his first full game soundtrack and one he put his whole being into. Word has it he passed out and ended up in the hospital he worked so hard on it. Without further ado, have some 16 bit goodness. I had problems just picking a few since I could easily put the entire soundtrack on here but I'll try.
First up is the classic title theme. I really love that portion leading up to the title screen

Next, we have a song that has gotten me through a number of harsh college assignments. It is such a relaxing theme. It's title is Corridors of Time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tcf_FBbIRpM
The next two themes both get me quite pumped up. The first is the theme of Frog, one of the game's badasses (he's a frickin anthro frog swordsman that uses water magic) and the second is Magus's theme, the "antagonist" of the first half or so of the game.

Next we have Schala's theme. Fun fact for this one. Wiz Khalifa actually used this song as the base of Never Been. It's up to you whether he butchered it or not. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJtwEpQe6w0
Finally, a song that has really resonated with me as of late. It's the theme of the semi final battle with Lavos. The song alternates between Chrono's theme and Lavos's as they fight for the future of Guardia (quite literally as you travel to the future and see the results of Lavos's terror). It resonates with me as I also have an internal battle going on within myself all the time with anxiety and such. Anyway here it is: World Revolution http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z74e6bFr5EY
That about sums it up for this week. I don't really expect anyone to actually listen to everything (that's a bit too much time) but if you ever happen to be bored or something one day, have at it ;).
