The game is Chrono Trigger and Squaresoft decided to choose Koichi Sugiyama for the composing role. But, miraculously, at the same time, Sound Effect designer Yasunori Mitsuda is getting sick of job as a Sound Effect designer and marches himself into Hironobu Sakaguchi, the vice president of Squaresoft's office and demands he has a composing role in one of Squaresofts future games or else he will quit. So Sakaguchi pushes aside Sugiyama and assigns Mitsuda the job of composing Chrono Trigger with the help of Nobuo Uematsu and Noriko Matsueda. The game is a huge hit and the Chrono Trigger Original Sound Version becomes a cult favourite. The year is now 1999 and Squaresoft plans a sequal to Chrono Trigger called Chrono Cross. Squaresoft decides that Yasunori Mitsuda should return and compose the sequal. Lets see how he went... ....Literally, Yasunori Mitsuda's best work to date. The soothing effect of this Original Soundtrack is breathtaking with classical guitars, exotic percussion and lots of celtic instruments. Mitsuda further develops his passion for celtic music and takes it to the next level on some accounts. This is evident in the opening theme "Chrono Cross ~ Scars of Time", with its fast strings, soothing flute and crazy percussion creating the unforgetable melody. The album has a variety of different songs ranging from the unforgetable "Chrono Cross ~ Scars of Time" to the ambient "Dead Sea, Tower of Destruction", from the powerful "Dragon God" to the vocal theme "Radical Dreamers". There are even segments of the Chrono Trigger main theme scattered around the album. The only flaw this album bears is the fact that it is too soothing and calm. This might put some people off the album, but the majority of people should find this album is fantastic and unforgetable. So why not support Yasunori Mitsuda and CocoeBiz and buy this magnificent album because game music is not going to be much better than Chrono Cross. Was this review helpful to you? ![]() |
