There are comparatively few of us Chrono Cross lovers. At the time when it came out, there weren't many vg communities, no social media, etc, so it seemed like there were even less of us, since we were relatively scattered across the globe! Chrono Cross is and always was a niche game for hardcore philosophically minded people who cared more about story, imagination and music than action. Now we can all collect wherever there are Chrono Cross related things and spread the love, haha! Still, though, if you went to the Chrono Cross subreddit, for instance, its following is puny compared with say, Zelda or Pokemon (though that's not quite a fair comparison, given that CC is one installment in a 2.5 game series and those other large franchises). I, like many other people, would dearly love it if Squeenix would pick up the series again. :'( But I feel skeptical that it would be as good. They'd have to have just the right minds working behind it.
The Chrono games were unique. I am thankful they stand as a testament to the true nature of gaming as an art form: they can only imitated, never replicated. In my opinion, this sentiment echoes through an older title, Super Mario RPG. Silly as it might seem, I've never really heard anyone talk about how the villain in that game (Smithy) was just trying to churn out an endless stream of soulless clones (weapons, actually). One of the final bosses was a clock, like one you might have once used at a place of employment (everything is electronic now). His lair is full of conveyors and is gray, desolate. The pinnacle of the game, the most malevolent force in the universe was a factory run by a blacksmith doing a copy/paste. Probably not their intent but it was just how I saw things. That said, I didn't like Chrono Cross, both as a game (the combat system) and for its story. I just wanted the protagonist to marry the girl, have kids and grow old in his little fishing village. D: Probably an overshare but oh well.
@@RebeccaETripp Remake, tbh Rebecca!. its best if they left the game as it is, with the current gen gaming console and graphics work they are putting through. Take an example, Kingdom hearts. A master series I choose "story and Music" but the wait is killing. If Square Enix would take up on CC/CT as series and make a continuation including past remake.. its gonna take a decade. Like how someone can create something like this. ua-cam.com/video/_HRzKkD20YM/v-deo.html

This game comes right at the pinnacle of the golden age of gaming. There is not a better time now or before. The passion and care that went into every aspect of these games is unmatched. I'd be hard pressed to find something worthy of being thrown into this "mix" in the last 10 years. The music, art. gameplay, and story just blended perfectly. This game is a masterpiece.
That was well put! I think the 2000ish era was Squaresoft's golden age as well. I also think there are other games before and after (if we're also going to include non-Square games) that are/were as good, but not in such high concentration.
I know it's been years since anyone commented here, but I just wanted to say that this game and this medley reminds me my childhood. It so great. When I turned it on, there was a tear in my eyes... Tear of love for this medley and a game. Great job!
2 years ago, I anticipated a remaster of this game. Today I have it on my Switch. All the while Trigger elitists were telling me otherwise because "Trigger is a better game." This game has given me so many memories. And that's what I'm here for. Memories and a good time. My mom would always voice Harle and Kid when dad would play. So it's memories of simpler times for me.
This makes me so unbelievably happy. I always loved Chrono Cross so much. It makes me sad at times to think there are gamers out there who've never experienced the wonder of this series.
This game quite possibly had the best soundtrack of all time. This pays true homage to that great experience that was both the game and the music in symphony. Well done.
Beautiful tribute to a beautiful game. I love how much environmental artwork you put in here; I love how this game looks, its locales are so artfully designed and rich with natural beauty. Fitting each arrangement with their locations really brought me into the world. My favorite parts were probably Gaea's Navel, The Dead Sea (easily one of my favorite tracks of the game), Star-Stealing Girl...well and pretty much everything that followed that actually. The whole medley is wonderfully and lovingly composed though! It reflects both the calming and emotional sides of this beautiful soundtrack. :)
RebeccaETripp I feel very similarly about both Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross's OSTs. I have listened to them so much since first playing each respective game that their music has taken on a life beyond the games themselves and become a consistent soundtrack to my everyday life. I feel like I am never too far away from listening to these tunes for the ten zillionth time, and To Far Away Times still gets me all wistful, every time. :p In fact, I recently watched someone play the beginning of Chrono Cross and it was strange hearing the music in the context of the game lol I listen to the soundtrack constantly, but I haven't actually played the game since the summer of '08, so there was a moment where I was like, "oh, so that's where that song plays!"
"Scars Left by Time" is still one of my favorite songs I've ever learned to play. Used to blast it on sax all the time as a kid lol. Ugh, this game has such a special and dear place in my heart.
After some time I came back here just to say that we have a remaster. And I'm here to tell you that I fall in love in chrono cross and your music here again. Thank you for that master piece. I Hope we will see eachother someday, somewhere...maybe in other world or so. Hah. See ya mate!
Incredible!!! So happy it's done but you are right that allowing time for ourselves is very important :) In any case, this was well worth the wait! Brilliant and heartwarming as always. Brava :)
It's funny how I just recently found this video for nostalgia purposes and so far, already watched most of your channel lol. Congratulations on this amazing work that made me remember incredible moments I had when a teenager and also, makes me wanna play the games all over again.
What was the start of all this? When did the cogs of fate begin to turn? Perhaps it is impossible to grasp that answer now, From deep within the flow of time. But for a certanty, back then We loved so many yet hated so much We hurt others and were hurt ourselves. Yet even then we ran like the wind Whilst our laughter echoed Under cerulean skies.... My first ps1 game chrono cross, I want to back old memories :(
From childhood's beginning, to adulthood's twilight ending, I too can all too easily relate as to how truly powerful both Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross is, even in my thirtieth year of life on this beautiful world where we've hurt so many, and have hurt ourselves. And yet there is still joy and majesty to be found. And I've found it again thanks to this incredible medley.
Yasunori Mitsuda did a wonderful job composing the music for this game. I feel you have done a very beautiful thing here with this arrangement. Thank you SO SO much for sharing this gem with the world. Very nice transitions between songs and the instrumentation is SPOT on. This game is a childhood favorite and I still tend to revisit it every few years for nostalgia. Keep doing what you are doing. Shine on :)
It's unbelievable how fast this went by. No previous track has quite so much demonstrated your ability to meld melodies into a cohesive unit. This is exquisite.
The fact that this video is so recent it makes me happy. Chrono cross takes a big part in my life. Those artworks are really good. Wish i could do more than just say thank you for uploading this.
I desperately want to thank you from all aspects of my life, soul, and mind, for making Chrono covers, especially this absolutely gorgeous melody. This is and Julia's Radical Dreamers cover sparked my love for this series. I had never heard of it until I started becoming more active in the VGM community (all thanks to you might I add, love all your work!). But I just tonight, for the first time ever, completed Chrono Cross after binge playing the game for an entire week and a half straight. 40+ hours of hard work and soooo many tears. The game has broken me and formed me into a new being. I feel like a completely different person after this series of games. I am forever grateful for you for TRIGGERing this interest and new found love. Thank you for all your beautiful and well done covers. I couldn't name a better arranger who could tell a games story or any story like you can with these melodies and various covers! Bravisimo my dear friend!
I totally didn't cry at the beginning.. nor at the Star Stealing Girl.. nor at Radical dreamers.. pretty sure some Gobledygooks got into my eyes. Jokes apart, this is so beautifully arranged. I love CC and its OST and this medley sure is Epic, I love it and will hear it pretty often now that I found it. I cant highlight how much I appreciate your work and how amazing it is. Thank you!
Our eyes and ears are unworthy! STUNNING work on this! The segment starting at 23:37 (Miguel battle theme/People Imprisoned by Destiny) gave me goosebumps. So hauntingly beautiful. Exceptionally well done!
Everything is still fresh in my memories. i first played this game about 12 years ago and those places and characters on the video are still easily recognized. thanks for keeping my dream alive
Back to my childhood in 3,2,1... :'] This is an excellent work. The transition between songs is so soft that is hard to notice, the pictures are just great. I hear u voice, is great! Thanks for this wonderful video! (sorry for my bad English I'm not native English).
Oh my God. The pictures, the music, the whole atmosphere... I had to repeat this whole collection the entire day. I admire Mitsuda and think that both Chrono's had an amazing track, maybe the best ones in game history. I really know a lot of different interpretations, versions, and remixes, but your whole "opus" in its entirety is absolutely amazing.
Absolutely loved your arrangement, and what I take as a tribute to Chrono Cross's music - it's one of my favorite OSTs also, and you did it great justice. Thank you, for making and sharing. Some of these pieces are so touching or make my spirit soar or feel inspired - I hadn't listened to this track in a while, and it was great to revisit them through your arrangement
This is how a beautiful dream sounds like.... Beautiful videos as! wonderful, showing all the lives, the moments, characters of much beloved world of Chrono Cross!
some absolutely incredible fan art here, from music to illustration. This wasn't a game, it was an experience. I hope the powers that be revive it in some way that does it justice. I still fall asleep to the map music from Another World all these years later...
truly amazing, made me cry so many memories. this was my first Square game. it was gifted to me by my cousin who passed last month. thank you for making this ^^
+The XVth What a beautiful/wonderful first Square game. It's definitely my favorite! My best friend played through this game once when someone she loved left this plane. She found a lot of comfort in it.
+RebeccaETripp my favorite song is scars of time / time's Scar I get confused with it's actual name. I remember being 6 or 7years old turning on my ps1 just to listen to repeatly xD.
Thanks for providing the soundtrack to my EMT final. This music is reminding me why I got into this business - to be a hero. The arrangement and orchestration here is truly astounding. This is a masterpiece.
This medley is going to be performed live in Orlando Florida on July 6, 2018! Please check out the event! www.kickstarter.com/projects/182454267/chrono-trigger-an-epic-orchestral-tribute-live-str There will be a livestream of the event, as well! More info can be found here: facebook.com/events/174216413297453/?active_tab=about
Congratulations! That's incredible! This medley has gotten me through a rather lengthy comprehensive exam AND a dissertation! I am so happy that it's receiving the public recognition it deserves. If only I didn't live in Phoenix... Could see the performance, then go to Disney World...
I grew up playing Chrono Cross , and every time I hear the OST brings back many memories , but this version is incredible !!!, your music made me travel back in time ....
So great… So fine… so awesome… so beautiful… so best… so everything i want to hear with Chrono cross… my tears fell down when i listen to this medley! Thank you for making this tune!
Enjoy? That is the smallest Word for this one!! Please listen to my music If you have the time. Just search for Christian Bingmark on UA-cam and some songs may apear 😉
I believe both of the Chrono games (trigger and cross) have one of the most epic music, and this medley is by far one of the greatest I have ever heard. Congratulotions, you clearly put a lot of effort and time to your work, and it definetely shows!
You by be interested in this. I'm having a live orchestra perform my Chrono Trigger medley soon, as it happens! ^_^ If you want to see the performance, there will be a livestream! facebook.com/events/174216413297453/?active_tab=about There's the event in case you're curious! I'm trying to spread the word! :D
This is simply beautiful. CC was the game that finally pushed me to study composing for games and media, rather than just playing in rock bands. Been waiting for someone to make a proper orchestral studio album of the soundtracks. Thank you for sharing this :)
Hey Rebecca- This is very nice work! I would love to see full versions of these songs as an album! Chrono Cross has one of the best RPG soundtracks of our time and you nailed every track.
+Corey Segnitz Thanks so much, Corey! I'll be making full versions of some of them, as I thought the same thing about a lot of these- that it was a shame that each movement was so short.
You need more subscribers! So much talent! I've listened through this countless times despite never playing the game. That part with the light female voice has always been my favorite part, I had no idea that was you!
This is just beautiful and amazing, I can't describe the feelings your work made me experienced, It was like a journey to my best memories, thank you for sharing it with the world. I can only imagine what a great person you are when reading your personal website. Greetings from México Rebecca!
The dream our planet once had Defeated the darkness and brought forth a brighter future. However, this was also the dawn of a new nightmare... The final battle over the legendary treasure, "The Frozen Flame" A battle between dragons, humans, and FATE That will surpass even space and time is about to begin... Our Planet's dream has not yet ended...
I'm definitely one of the ones who was anticipating this, and I'm so satisfied. Absolutely love the transitions between and your selection of tracks. There's nothing missing from my favourites. ;)
+RebeccaETripp This is so quickly becoming one of my favourite Chrono medleys. So hard to pin-point which parts I like the most but some highlights for me include Termina and Dead Sea (particularly some of the extra melodies in that one). Gosh, it's so nice to hear some of the nuances of these pieces done such justice; only a fan who loves the original content could do this. Good job again.
Zac B Thank you again, Zac. I adore the CC OST, yes. I must have listened to every track in the game at least 100 times. For some of them, it's definitely closer to 3000 times.
I send this message to all wholesome listeners here. Chrono Cross Remaster was recently leaked from Nividia Graphic support. There is not 100% that the remaster will be created but now my hope is healed with Full Revival
I don't think anyone appreciates Chrono cross for the sequel not sequel that it is. Well it has its own story that is only loosely related to its predecessor, the overall arching storyline entails that the original heroes saved the world, but they did it in such a way that allowed a remnant of lavos to try to resurrect himself.
So glad you finished this piece. I've really been looking forward to it. I can't stress enough that I love your work, Rebecca. Your connection with the music goes beyond the instruments to the emotions at the heart of it all...making this the perfect soundtrack for you to engage.
Chrono Cross's story was so complex (a little haywire at times) that I needed to return to the series as an adult to fully grasp it. Incredible closure to an incredible series, I just hope Crono Marle and Lucca got their happy ending after what appeared to be a tragic end for our heroes.
Yay! Thank you so much Rebecca! You sure did Mitsuda's original work justice! Keep up the great work, looking forward to what you have in store for us next :)
21:50 Star Stealing Girl always makes me cry. I love Kid's story and I love Schala. Both so tragic, and I really wish we could get a third game with some sort of real happy ending for Schala and Magus. C'mon Square. We all love Final Fantasy, but stop neglecting your other franchises.....
I feel that way also. Chrono Cross touched many hearts. Even though it's not as well known as some other comparable RPGs, it had an extra layer of magic about it, I feel.
kbutta01 Absolutely! I already did Red Soil Area and I'll either be doing a medley or a bunch of standalones. :) Also, if you like Prime, I did two from there.
RebeccaETripp your Medley is amazing! It Has been a long time since I've listened to such good arrangements for this soundtrack. Congratulations. Subscribed!
Ah wonderful! This is truly above and beyond a mere medley, as the sequence of tracks, the transposition, and layering all really play to the strengths of this OST's brilliant range. (Doesn't hurt that you picked some of my favorite tracks from the OST, either :D)
Just the first minute sent shivers up my spine. This is a worthy tribute to a masterpiece of a soundtrack. Your arrangements, transitions, and vocals are exquisite. Thank you for bringing new life into a soundtrack I thought I knew so well. There may or may not have been tears involved. Keep composing! I fully expect/hope to hear your soundtrack in the next RPG I fall in love with.
I've been waiting so long for you do to Another Overworld!!!! It's everything I wanted (though I wish it was a little longer). Favorite soundtrack in a game and you did an amazing job as always.
Oh My God. This was fantastic. The people imprisoned by destiny part actually brought me to tears, it was so good. That song always gives me goosebumps but this was even better. Such a fantastic remix for a fantastic game. Thank you.
Let's take a moment to reflect here : this medley is a reminder of how back in the day games was made with heart ❤️ and passion , Square Soft you always will be in my memory for letting me experience those moments when I was child / teenager - thank you for Chrono Cross, Legend of Mana , Final fantasy tactics , and Xenogears!
Wow, this is amazing. You, my good friend, did not disappoint, lol. This will be another medley to add to my daily playlist of music, since I listen to the OST all the time :) I'll be marathoning Chrono Trigger medley with this as well lol. Good choice in pictures, by the way.
Sorry in advance if I already told you about this! I'm having a live orchestra perform my Chrono Trigger medley soon, as it happens! ^_^ If you want to see the performance, there will be a livestream! facebook.com/events/174216413297453/?active_tab=about There's the event in case you're curious! I'm trying to spread the word! :D
You made me cry four times woman. Four. I adore the CC soundtrack probably as much as you, and you could feel the love that had been poured into it. And the opening to scars of time... Just, hnnnngh.
+kjelfalconer Excellent! I'm glad people are enjoying that intro! It took a lot of work to make those strings sound the way I wanted them to. ^_^ I'm so glad a CC lover cried four times over this.
Stunning arrangement; great justice for a great soundtrack, from a great game. I am thoroughly impressed, as always, with your work; simply enchanting!
+Nathan Hall ^_^ Thanks. I have many more medleys like this on my channel. These are all the medleys: ua-cam.com/play/PLhsnNwoLVWWNj7e7PqxLh8zCjsHw19F3i.html and these are all the standalone remixes: ua-cam.com/play/PLhsnNwoLVWWON9zRaW-KZKRwBHKeLZ_V7.html

I can agree with that.
Share the thought. FFIX ~ Chrono Cross itself end an epoch of love. There is nothing as passionate as the games made until them.
You're absolutely right! This is my favorite game soundtrack ever! And I definitely come to love the game!
Still alive and vibing in 2020. This game change my life and the music has carried me throughout my path.
I relate to that so much.
You are not alone Dani... this game has something magical about it
Same
Same here
INCREDIBLE! 🎉 thank you so much for sharing this with us all!
Emily glad you enjoyed it!

I'm so glad your family played this game together! That's lovely!
Welp, Trigger is better but it has been ported a lot. Hope Chrono Cross gets more love so we can potentially have more Chrono's Universe content.
This makes me so unbelievably happy. I always loved Chrono Cross so much. It makes me sad at times to think there are gamers out there who've never experienced the wonder of this series.
+Pirupi Gets Bored I concur! It touched our hearts in away that cannot be matched by anything before or since.
This game quite possibly had the best soundtrack of all time. This pays true homage to that great experience that was both the game and the music in symphony. Well done.
Thanks so much! :D
"Another Shore Dream" is really from other world. thank you C.C. creators for give me my best childhood
this game is simply my most important childhood memory. every year i play a new game at least 2 times
Wow! That's impressive!

Beautiful tribute to a beautiful game. I love how much environmental artwork you put in here; I love how this game looks, its locales are so artfully designed and rich with natural beauty. Fitting each arrangement with their locations really brought me into the world. My favorite parts were probably Gaea's Navel, The Dead Sea (easily one of my favorite tracks of the game), Star-Stealing Girl...well and pretty much everything that followed that actually. The whole medley is wonderfully and lovingly composed though! It reflects both the calming and emotional sides of this beautiful soundtrack. :)
Again, you move me! This is my favorite soundtrack, and these themes are hewn in my mind.
RebeccaETripp I feel very similarly about both Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross's OSTs. I have listened to them so much since first playing each respective game that their music has taken on a life beyond the games themselves and become a consistent soundtrack to my everyday life. I feel like I am never too far away from listening to these tunes for the ten zillionth time, and To Far Away Times still gets me all wistful, every time. :p In fact, I recently watched someone play the beginning of Chrono Cross and it was strange hearing the music in the context of the game lol I listen to the soundtrack constantly, but I haven't actually played the game since the summer of '08, so there was a moment where I was like, "oh, so that's where that song plays!"
Doesn't matter how trash Square is nowadays, the fanbase will never let CC die. Your work is unworldly amazing, thanks for keeping our dream alive.
I wish square hadn't gone to garbage city... They made virtually all my most favorite games growing up.
Well, now we have FFVIIR, which does seem to be a major return to form in a lot of ways.
"Scars Left by Time" is still one of my favorite songs I've ever learned to play. Used to blast it on sax all the time as a kid lol. Ugh, this game has such a special and dear place in my heart.
these songs are beautiful, it is a game that never dies
The most bestest of music collab for the whole game. I cried, laughed, and remembered multiple times, over and over. 100% awesome
After some time I came back here just to say that we have a remaster. And I'm here to tell you that I fall in love in chrono cross and your music here again. Thank you for that master piece. I Hope we will see eachother someday, somewhere...maybe in other world or so. Hah. See ya mate!
This game was part of our souls! And many others!
Merveilleux!
Thanks! 🍬
Incredible!!! So happy it's done but you are right that allowing time for ourselves is very important :) In any case, this was well worth the wait! Brilliant and heartwarming as always. Brava :)
+PyjamaPants Thank you so much, Julia! I"m looking forward to our future collaborations. :D
It's funny how I just recently found this video for nostalgia purposes and so far, already watched most of your channel lol. Congratulations on this amazing work that made me remember incredible moments I had when a teenager and also, makes me wanna play the games all over again.
What was the start of all this?
When did the cogs of fate begin to turn?
Perhaps it is impossible to grasp that answer now,
From deep within the flow of time.
But for a certanty, back then
We loved so many yet hated so much
We hurt others and were hurt ourselves.
Yet even then we ran like the wind
Whilst our laughter echoed
Under cerulean skies....
My first ps1 game chrono cross, I want to back old memories :(
It was my very first PS1 game, too! And one of my favorite games ever
You started with the best.
From childhood's beginning, to adulthood's twilight ending, I too can all too easily relate as to how truly powerful both Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross is, even in my thirtieth year of life on this beautiful world where we've hurt so many, and have hurt ourselves. And yet there is still joy and majesty to be found.
And I've found it again thanks to this incredible medley.
Yasunori Mitsuda did a wonderful job composing the music for this game. I feel you have done a very beautiful thing here with this arrangement. Thank you SO SO much for sharing this gem with the world. Very nice transitions between songs and the instrumentation is SPOT on. This game is a childhood favorite and I still tend to revisit it every few years for nostalgia. Keep doing what you are doing. Shine on :)
Thank you so much. ^^
It's unbelievable how fast this went by. No previous track has quite so much demonstrated your ability to meld melodies into a cohesive unit. This is exquisite.
+zaglamir Thank you so much. This means a lot to me. :) It's really nice to be reminded that I've progressed, and that others are moved by my work.
The fact that this video is so recent it makes me happy. Chrono cross takes a big part in my life. Those artworks are really good. Wish i could do more than just say thank you for uploading this.
+Rodrigo Clot Well, I appreciate that! It's my favorite game and OST, so I really poured my soul into this one! :D
Do you have a facebook page were i can follow your works? I really liked your music :)
Rodrigo Clot
I do, indeed. ^_^ Here's a link: facebook.com/CrystalEchoSound
I desperately want to thank you from all aspects of my life, soul, and mind, for making Chrono covers, especially this absolutely gorgeous melody. This is and Julia's Radical Dreamers cover sparked my love for this series. I had never heard of it until I started becoming more active in the VGM community (all thanks to you might I add, love all your work!). But I just tonight, for the first time ever, completed Chrono Cross after binge playing the game for an entire week and a half straight. 40+ hours of hard work and soooo many tears. The game has broken me and formed me into a new being. I feel like a completely different person after this series of games. I am forever grateful for you for TRIGGERing this interest and new found love. Thank you for all your beautiful and well done covers. I couldn't name a better arranger who could tell a games story or any story like you can with these melodies and various covers! Bravisimo my dear friend!
I totally didn't cry at the beginning.. nor at the Star Stealing Girl.. nor at Radical dreamers.. pretty sure some Gobledygooks got into my eyes.
Jokes apart, this is so beautifully arranged. I love CC and its OST and this medley sure is Epic, I love it and will hear it pretty often now that I found it.
I cant highlight how much I appreciate your work and how amazing it is. Thank you!
They were tears of strength. And you're welcome! ^o^
Our eyes and ears are unworthy! STUNNING work on this! The segment starting at 23:37 (Miguel battle theme/People Imprisoned by Destiny) gave me goosebumps. So hauntingly beautiful. Exceptionally well done!
Everything is still fresh in my memories. i first played this game about 12 years ago and those places and characters on the video are still easily recognized. thanks for keeping my dream alive
You're welcome.
We born in the right moment to enjoy this awesome videogame, so nostalgic 16 years old playing and enjoying the OST 🎉
A very good game to grow up to!
Back to my childhood in 3,2,1... :'] This is an excellent work. The transition between songs is so soft that is hard to notice, the pictures are just great. I hear u voice, is great! Thanks for this wonderful video! (sorry for my bad English I'm not native English).
Thanks so much! ^_^
Oh my God. The pictures, the music, the whole atmosphere... I had to repeat this whole collection the entire day. I admire Mitsuda and think that both Chrono's had an amazing track, maybe the best ones in game history. I really know a lot of different interpretations, versions, and remixes, but your whole "opus" in its entirety is absolutely amazing.
Thanks, Beatrice! You inspire me to keep on creating. ^_^
I hope so! :D
another fantastic medley that captures just how gorgeous and amazing this music is while showcasing it in the most spectacular way, I highly approve!
Thanks so much! ^_^ I'm glad you're still enjoying my work after so long!
@@RebeccaETripp it is not hard to do so when it ages like wine
Absolutely loved your arrangement, and what I take as a tribute to Chrono Cross's music - it's one of my favorite OSTs also, and you did it great justice. Thank you, for making and sharing. Some of these pieces are so touching or make my spirit soar or feel inspired - I hadn't listened to this track in a while, and it was great to revisit them through your arrangement
You're welcome! Thank you also!
^^ of course
omg i'm in love with this, your cover of dreams of the shore is incredible am tears ty
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
This is how a beautiful dream sounds like....
Beautiful videos as! wonderful, showing all the lives, the moments, characters of much beloved world of Chrono Cross!
Thank you.
some absolutely incredible fan art here, from music to illustration. This wasn't a game, it was an experience. I hope the powers that be revive it in some way that does it justice. I still fall asleep to the map music from Another World all these years later...
I fall asleep with The El Nido Triangle or Sailing (Home World) 😊
truly amazing, made me cry so many memories. this was my first Square game. it was gifted to me by my cousin who passed last month. thank you for making this ^^
+The XVth What a beautiful/wonderful first Square game. It's definitely my favorite! My best friend played through this game once when someone she loved left this plane. She found a lot of comfort in it.
+RebeccaETripp my favorite song is scars of time / time's Scar I get confused with it's actual name. I remember being 6 or 7years old turning on my ps1 just to listen to repeatly xD.
Thanks for providing the soundtrack to my EMT final. This music is reminding me why I got into this business - to be a hero. The arrangement and orchestration here is truly astounding.
This is a masterpiece.
Thanks! You are doing a good service.
EMTs save lives, music makes life worth saving. Btw, I passed :) So thank you!
Oh, excellent! Congratulations! ^_^
This medley is going to be performed live in Orlando Florida on July 6, 2018! Please check out the event! www.kickstarter.com/projects/182454267/chrono-trigger-an-epic-orchestral-tribute-live-str
There will be a livestream of the event, as well! More info can be found here: facebook.com/events/174216413297453/?active_tab=about
Really cool opportunity! Congratulations!
Congratulations! That's incredible! This medley has gotten me through a rather lengthy comprehensive exam AND a dissertation! I am so happy that it's receiving the public recognition it deserves. If only I didn't live in Phoenix... Could see the performance, then go to Disney World...
I am mildly upset I didnt learn about your channel until recently. After what I have heard so far I would have loved to attend in person.
You said a link to the art was in the comments. But I can't find it. Do you still have a link?
have any recordings of the Orlando show?
well my eyes tears
thank you for amazing music
^_^ Thanks so much.
WOW, this must have taken incredible creativity, talent, and effort! And time! This is beautiful.
Thanks! ^_^
I grew up playing Chrono Cross , and every time I hear the OST brings back many memories , but this version is incredible !!!, your music made me travel back in time ....
+Luis Quintanilla I'm happy to have provided that experience! :D
it's so beautiful.. you're so talented!
this game never gets old..
So great… So fine… so awesome… so beautiful… so best… so everything i want to hear with Chrono cross… my tears fell down when i listen to this medley! Thank you for making this tune!
+Christian Bingmark It was my pleasure! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Enjoy? That is the smallest Word for this one!! Please listen to my music If you have the time. Just search for Christian Bingmark on UA-cam and some songs may apear 😉
And Please do leave a comment of what u think about the tunes.
I believe both of the Chrono games (trigger and cross) have one of the most epic music, and this medley is by far one of the greatest I have ever heard. Congratulotions, you clearly put a lot of effort and time to your work, and it definetely shows!
+Salvadoreño juan jose cañas Thank you. ^^ I appreciate that.
You by be interested in this. I'm having a live orchestra perform my Chrono Trigger medley soon, as it happens! ^_^ If you want to see the performance, there will be a
livestream! facebook.com/events/174216413297453/?active_tab=about There's the event in case you're curious! I'm trying to spread the word! :D
This is simply beautiful. CC was the game that finally pushed me to study composing for games and media, rather than just playing in rock bands.
Been waiting for someone to make a proper orchestral studio album of the soundtracks. Thank you for sharing this :)
Maybe some day, when I'm skilled enough to make them proper justice :)
Still love these orchestral medleys years later. Thank you for making them.
Thanks for listening. ^_^
Wow. This is so good. You have such a talent for making these tracks really come alive at the next level. Even more magical and enchanting.
Thanks, I really appreciate that a lot! ^_^
Hey Rebecca-
This is very nice work! I would love to see full versions of these songs as an album! Chrono Cross has one of the best RPG soundtracks of our time and you nailed every track.
+Corey Segnitz Thanks so much, Corey! I'll be making full versions of some of them, as I thought the same thing about a lot of these- that it was a shame that each movement was so short.
You need more subscribers! So much talent! I've listened through this countless times despite never playing the game. That part with the light female voice has always been my favorite part, I had no idea that was you!
Thank you so much! ^_^ I'm honoured!
Your orchestral mixes are so good to listen to while working- thanks for all your hard work! I really like the rendition of Dragon Rider in here :)
Thank you, Cecil.
This is just beautiful and amazing, I can't describe the feelings your work made me experienced, It was like a journey to my best memories, thank you for sharing it with the world. I can only imagine what a great person you are when reading your personal website.
Greetings from México Rebecca!
Carlos, thanks for your beautiful message! ^_^ Greetings from Canada!
The dream our planet once had
Defeated the darkness and brought forth a brighter future.
However, this was also the dawn of a new nightmare...
The final battle over the legendary treasure, "The Frozen Flame"
A battle between dragons, humans, and FATE
That will surpass even space and time is about to begin...
Our Planet's dream has not yet ended...
I wish I could do more than leave a thumbs up and add to favorites. =)
Thank you for making this!
^_^ Thanks.
I'm definitely one of the ones who was anticipating this, and I'm so satisfied. Absolutely love the transitions between and your selection of tracks. There's nothing missing from my favourites. ;)
+Zac B Thank you, Zac. That means a lot to me.
+RebeccaETripp This is so quickly becoming one of my favourite Chrono medleys. So hard to pin-point which parts I like the most but some highlights for me include Termina and Dead Sea (particularly some of the extra melodies in that one). Gosh, it's so nice to hear some of the nuances of these pieces done such justice; only a fan who loves the original content could do this. Good job again.
Zac B
Thank you again, Zac. I adore the CC OST, yes. I must have listened to every track in the game at least 100 times. For some of them, it's definitely closer to 3000 times.
I send this message to all wholesome listeners here. Chrono Cross Remaster was recently leaked from Nividia Graphic support. There is not 100% that the remaster will be created but now my hope is healed with Full Revival
Let us pray! That would make the decade for me!
Unreal memories, thanks for making this. It gives me goosebumps just listening.
:') Thanks!
Not gonna lie, 2021 and still awesome! Because of you I am gonna play Chrono Cross for 23834 time.
It's a good game for summer. ^^
35 people got their arses kicked so hard that they kissed the moon
The moons*
Their derrières* 🤭
Yes, I'm a Harle's SIMP 😁
I don't think anyone appreciates Chrono cross for the sequel not sequel that it is. Well it has its own story that is only loosely related to its predecessor, the overall arching storyline entails that the original heroes saved the world, but they did it in such a way that allowed a remnant of lavos to try to resurrect himself.
So glad you finished this piece. I've really been looking forward to it. I can't stress enough that I love your work, Rebecca. Your connection with the music goes beyond the instruments to the emotions at the heart of it all...making this the perfect soundtrack for you to engage.
+Kevin Roberts Thanks once again! I'm really touched by your comment. :')
Chrono Cross's story was so complex (a little haywire at times) that I needed to return to the series as an adult to fully grasp it. Incredible closure to an incredible series, I just hope Crono Marle and Lucca got their happy ending after what appeared to be a tragic end for our heroes.
Likewise!
Im just 4 years too late to discover this video. Very nice medley from the very best video game soundtrack. Thanks very much!
Glad you like it! ^_^ Thanks.
Yay! Thank you so much Rebecca! You sure did Mitsuda's original work justice! Keep up the great work, looking forward to what you have in store for us next :)
+Germain ^_^ Thanks. It's going to be Link's Awakening on the medley front. :3
21:50 Star Stealing Girl always makes me cry. I love Kid's story and I love Schala. Both so tragic, and I really wish we could get a third game with some sort of real happy ending for Schala and Magus. C'mon Square. We all love Final Fantasy, but stop neglecting your other franchises.....
You're seriously nailing the music of my childhood in amazing and mindblowing ways. Subscribed!
+Boringxtreme Xtreme :D Thanks!!
What a seamlessly beautiful piece. Each theme music is a memory of its own in the game.
Thanks!
this songs makes me travel again in my young age where i used to get inside the World of Chrono Cross. this game bacame part of me.
I feel that way also. Chrono Cross touched many hearts. Even though it's not as well known as some other comparable RPGs, it had an extra layer of magic about it, I feel.
The childhood memories just smacked
me in the face. Amazing work like always!
+Vadunchee ^_^ Thanks.
You're most welcome!
Lots of old memories in this. :)
Never gets old.
Love your music Rebecca. You do a great job of adapting and giving it your own flair, while staying true to the original. Keep it coming, please.
+Derrick Palmiter Am wondering if you have ever played the Suikoden series?
+Derrick Palmiter No, I haven't, but I'm well aware of it. :)
+Derrick Palmiter Thanks. ^_^ I'm about to upload a Minish Cap one.
Suikoden was one of my favorites growing up, you should check it out if you get the chance. :)
Good Lord the nostalgia...My all time favorite game and soundtrack. I'm in love with this!
+kbutta01 :D Excellent! It's my favorite soundtrack, too. ^_^ Thanks.
+RebeccaETripp No Thank you for making such an awesome collection! Question could you looking into a super metroid collection?
kbutta01
Absolutely! I already did Red Soil Area and I'll either be doing a medley or a bunch of standalones. :) Also, if you like Prime, I did two from there.
+RebeccaETripp Great Thank you so much! You are amazing!
RebeccaETripp your Medley is amazing! It Has been a long time since I've listened to such good arrangements for this soundtrack. Congratulations. Subscribed!
>:'3 Thank you!
Thanks for the lovely half hour of nostalgia. People Imprisoned by Destiny is the most epic, emotional battle music ever.
cheers.
Yeah! That part in the game was very memorable indeed! Thank you! :D
Ah wonderful! This is truly above and beyond a mere medley, as the sequence of tracks, the transposition, and layering all really play to the strengths of this OST's brilliant range. (Doesn't hurt that you picked some of my favorite tracks from the OST, either :D)
+Adam Matlock Ah, thank you for taking the time to listen to it. ^_^ I figured, as one Chrono Cross fan to another, you'd appreciate it.
Welp, i´m really late to this eye-watering, memories-bringing, relaxingly exciting party! awesome work you did! Expect a purchase shortly!
Thanks! ^_^ I really appreciate it. It's my favorite game and OST of all time.
And we wouldn´t want it any other way
Just the first minute sent shivers up my spine. This is a worthy tribute to a masterpiece of a soundtrack. Your arrangements, transitions, and vocals are exquisite. Thank you for bringing new life into a soundtrack I thought I knew so well. There may or may not have been tears involved. Keep composing! I fully expect/hope to hear your soundtrack in the next RPG I fall in love with.
Thank you so much! ^_^
Muy bueno, que calidad aquellos tiempos! Cheers from Argentina.
¡Gracias! Greetings from Canada.
I've been waiting so long for you do to Another Overworld!!!! It's everything I wanted (though I wish it was a little longer). Favorite soundtrack in a game and you did an amazing job as always.
+Matilda Salmon Thanks so much, Matilda! I'm also going to be making a longer version of that theme at some point.
OMG yes! That tune was my jam back in the day, and it was one of the first bass lines I ever learned.
Just beautiful medley. I need to play at this awesome game once again. Thanks to made this.
Thank you.
Oh My God. This was fantastic. The people imprisoned by destiny part actually brought me to tears, it was so good. That song always gives me goosebumps but this was even better. Such a fantastic remix for a fantastic game. Thank you.
Thank you!
Let's take a moment to reflect here : this medley is a reminder of how back in the day games was made with heart ❤️ and passion , Square Soft you always will be in my memory for letting me experience those moments when I was child / teenager - thank you for Chrono Cross, Legend of Mana , Final fantasy tactics , and Xenogears!
Well said! I see that you were probably a 90's kid. ^^
@@RebeccaETripp I was born in 1986 🙂
Wow, this is amazing. You, my good friend, did not disappoint, lol. This will be another medley to add to my daily playlist of music, since I listen to the OST all the time :) I'll be marathoning Chrono Trigger medley with this as well lol. Good choice in pictures, by the way.
+Evan Anderson (Eric, DivineFlame) Thanks a lot, Evan! I hope you're enjoying it. :3
Sorry in advance if I already told you about this! I'm having a live orchestra perform my Chrono Trigger medley soon, as it happens! ^_^ If you want to see the performance, there will be a

Thank you, Carlos! ^_^ I'm glad you were moved!
@@RebeccaETripp Thank you miss! This medley is a blessing! Its on my favorites list! So i can listen to it many many times! Thank you again!
You did very well with all the songs! I'm looking forward to the remake!!!
Thanks!
You made me cry four times woman. Four. I adore the CC soundtrack probably as much as you, and you could feel the love that had been poured into it.
And the opening to scars of time... Just, hnnnngh.
+kjelfalconer Excellent! I'm glad people are enjoying that intro! It took a lot of work to make those strings sound the way I wanted them to. ^_^ I'm so glad a CC lover cried four times over this.
Stunning arrangement; great justice for a great soundtrack, from a great game. I am thoroughly impressed, as always, with your work; simply enchanting!
Thank you so much!
Absolutely tremendous! I've never played the games myself , but this was still a treat to listen to!
+Paul Farrer Thank you so much, Paul. ^^ I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for this nice arrangement of one of my favorite scores. I will look for more of your work.
+Nathan Hall ^_^ Thanks. I have many more medleys like this on my channel. These are all the medleys: ua-cam.com/play/PLhsnNwoLVWWNj7e7PqxLh8zCjsHw19F3i.html and these are all the standalone remixes: ua-cam.com/play/PLhsnNwoLVWWON9zRaW-KZKRwBHKeLZ_V7.html

+Nick Kelley That's one of my all-time favorite Chrono Cross themes. I had to!
I'm really enjoying the seamless transitions here
^^ I was really happy with them. Thank you so much!
Rebecca, you're amazing! You deserve 10x the viewers. I listen to this so frequently
Thank you so much!
I use to hear your tracks everytime i study, so thanks!
I'm really glad they are helping with your studies!
At last! M'lady, I know not how to ever repay you for this medley! It is wonderful!
