The original Corridors of Time has been my emotional support song ever since I played Chrono Trigger for the first time 4 years ago. It's gotten me through some really tough times. I found this arrangement a few months ago and it's replaced the original for that purpose. The peace and calming otherworldlyness this song embodies is truly beautiful. I hope everyone reading this has a wonderful life going forward. Despite the hardships, we're all gonna make it :)
Checkpoint: We're alive. Here and now. What comes tomorrow? No one really knows. Find peace in the now and comfort that whatever may come, it will be alright. Do your best and things will turn out fine.
Nem sempre as coisas dão certo, infelizmente. Pessoas sofrem durante a vida e exigir esforço sem fim é muito limitante, camaradas, se unam e descubram o por que vocês se sentem como estão, se for um momento difícil que você não pode resolver, essa é a vida. Injusta.
Yeah, my job asked me where I saw myself in 5 years and I put that... they asked me to the office to explain myself and were bewildered. They fired me no joke
Whatever happened to that child With eyes so bright and love so wild His many dreams of the starry sky Couldn't change the fact he wasn't meant to fly Alone in the mud, as the fire died He wondered amid the tears he cried Whatever happened to that child With eyes so bright and love so wild Whatever happened to those dreams of mine Now lost forever in the corridors of time
@@Spenced86 i am sorry for reading this, bruh! i still have my youngest brother, and i always trynna keep him alive, observing from far away, so far from my family.
I borrowed the same path 10 years ago. Now, I'm professional composer since 5 years and I never regretted my sacrifices. Don't forget your objectives and work hard to realize your dreams. I hope you will accomplish yours. Amically :)
Whoa, that choir part hits HARD. It already was the climax of the immensely memorable original track, and this arrangement made it even more gorgeous. I know the whole thing is inherently impossible to ruin even if you get three ducks with strep throats to sing it, but still... wow.
There are no real checkpoints in life. Everyone plays with a single save style and permadeath is always enabled. Take care of yourselves guys. World grows more uncertain each day...
I know it's not much... But here... won't you stay for a moment and rest, even if it is brief? You are doing great... ...I can see it in you! Butterflies can't see their own wings yet... ...they're beautiful, are they not? I believe in you as many have before... ...I will still be here if you need me. ...so please... Don't give up hope Adventurer... ...we're cheering you on... ...the world is cheering you on!
Checkpoint: Here I am, in my thirties, listening to this song again, from a game that marked a generation and that makes me think about going back in time to today! My life was one of the best, but today depression takes over, sometimes I try to recover, but not everyone around me wants peace. Someday I will come back here to write that everything worked out and that I overcame depression! Edit: Updating here, life took a turn, and I feel that the prayers and martyrdoms that I described earlier were mere trials of life, and that they are part of a certain energy that generates the earth. I'm still very afraid to go out on the streets, because of the threats I suffered for being gay, but I try to think positive! Anxiety and depression still walk with me, but with less intensity. Edit (2): I went to therapy the last time and we came to the conclusion that I end up boycotting myself and putting my talent aside for others, because I live with those who don't know how to have peace and can't give peace to those around! However, I got job interviews and I'm in the business, trusting myself more, not letting low self-esteem take me! Edit (3): I'm no longer living in my hometown, I went through a predicament that made me very sad, but that's what made me hit the road and today I'm able to fulfill part of my dream, which is to work professionally with photography! Edit: (4): Today I live in another city, much bigger than the previous one where I've lived practically my whole life, and it's been difficult, I don't know a living soul to trust and sometimes I go out for a beer and smoke a joint to distract myself. But despite everything and anything, it's amazing to see another place and be able to support myself, live well. I still don't trust the people around me (those who live where I live today), however, I try to trust, I listen to stories and I try to take better care of myself! I've been traveling a lot, including taking pictures and being happy in this business, living a dream, as I said in edit number 3! Today I live in the south of Brazil and it has been quite a challenge... Follow your dreams, make it real! FINAL EDIT: Hello travelers :) I'm here to close this story, because through your "saves", I was able to catch up on all my checkpoints and thus transform them into a life experience. And this time I'm on the line: Climbing and growing with each passing day, working with my dream of photography and embracing my solitude. Finally, I was able to welcome and recognize my "Crono", better known as "my inner child". AND FOR THOSE WHO ARE FEELING DOWN, REMEMBER THAT... WE HAD CREATED THIS STORY.... and these words belong to us! Thank you for participating! **samam And to those who have always read here and followed along, never give up on your dreams, every day and every moment is a construction and one more piece in the puzzle! Thank you all for the replies and for following :)
Hang in there , I cry when i hear these tracks remembering the best days before the ugly face of dipression started to show. Thank u to the uploader this makes me feel a piece of joy again
This is a dream we'll never see come to fruition, killed by a C&D. The amount of love that was going into this project was amazing the community had so much hope, I remember so long ago seeing the teaser for it I've downloaded this song to make sure I never lose it
Back again to listen and it still hurts knowing that people loved this story so much to put so much time and effort into it only for red tape to get in the way, a Chrono Trigger R would be something I don't think many of us could possibly describe. Growing up is really tough but stories that fill us with hope definitely make the journey easier.
Checkpoint: Things are looking up. As time goes on, life gets harder but I also get stronger. I've been through so much that if I went back and told a younger me what was in store... Well... that probably wouldn't be a good idea... but I've finally got some direction and a solid path laid out before me... one that I chose, for me, on my terms and no one else's. I'm gonna get everything I want out of this life. It's only a matter of time now. If I've made it this far, nothing can stop me.
This is deep and I can relate. Always keep your head up and face whatever bumps in road may come our way, cuz after every dark night there's an even brighter day 💯
I love this version because it's a wonderful song from Chrono Trigger that evokes deep emotion but the guitar also brings with it a feeling that is reminiscent of Chrono Cross as well, which adds even more depth to it in my opinion.
Checkpoint: One of the hardest times of my life emotionally... I'm in my early twenties learning what it means to take care of oneself, often I thought that I had to be tough and endure everything with a mask but I'm slowly learning to be more open about how I'm feeling and learning how to communicate with others instead of thinking that I'm pleasing everyone by being quiet and agreeing to everything. be kind to yourself. have patience. it will be ok.
And you'll remain alive, brother. You can and you will beat that coward of a dysfunction. Get professional help, get some exercise, listen to gorgeous music like this everyday, and you'll eventually get out of the bad spot. You're strong enough! You got this!
Checkpoint: October 2022; things are getting better, I think. A month-and-a-half into my grade 11 year, and people are starting to expect things from me. I think I can deal with the stress if I get rid of things I should have stopped doing a long time ago, and maybe drop a class, but no solution will make everyone happy. On a brighter note, I've stopped ignoring my classmates and playing classic JRPGs in class, and it turns out I've been surrounded by some really interesting and friendly people this whole time. I've been able to start Computer Science classes this year, and programming might just be what I want to do in life. No commitments, though; I've got plenty of those already. Let me know in a year or two whether things have gotten better in the world. Also, thanks for reading, it helps.
This doesn't get old. I put this on repeat while editing writing, working on the aquarium (which is named Zeal as it were), tinkering in the workshop, whatever. I need Chrono Trigger: Resurrection to get resurrectioned
This is a very good remake of this piece. Granted, credit where it's due, it's a very 1 to 1 remake of already very good music, but still, the choices of instuments are very good and the important melodies are well preserved. My nostalgia appreciates it.
I would say I've reached a checkpoint. But really I'm just stumbling upon an old save file. Man this song brings back good times when I'd watch my Dad play this game and I'd try to play it, but still couldn't read well at the time. Glad my Dad had such great taste in video games.
Checkpoint: I'm 24 and have been having bad anxiety lately, but I refuse to let that stop me as I keep traveling on this adventure of life. Still a single guy with no kids but still pursuing my dreams and trying to live each and every day to the fullest. Just bought a little piece of land in town and am hoping to start construction on a new house, still living with my parents and am studying for my Fundamentals of Engineering Exam, which I will be taking in a month. To be honest I've just been feeling down lately but life is still beautiful, to anyone else struggling out there whatever you do just keep moving, your situation is not forever and as long as you keep working hard and don't let toxic people discourage you from your dreams, you'll be blessed in ways you can't imagine now down the road! Logging out - (2023 April 2nd 9:02AM Central Time)
an epiphany; when you listen to this sped up x1.25, it sounds almost inspiring and uplifting but when you slow it becomes melancholic and sorrowful. slowing down and speeding up the corridors of time can change the mood based on tempo
I noticed the effects of 1.25 and 0.75 speeds, i sometimes watch combat matches on 1.25 to try to learn the thought of moving faster, most songs work as a wakeupstate at 1.25 because it sounds faster than you've listened so your mind picks up, i think, to be faster. Anyway, good find and i recommend exploring it on all sorts of audio things.
@@samanetait's not something inherent about musical notes, it's about how our brains get exposed to music. hypothetically, there's a parallel universe out there which faster tempo sounds "sad" and vice versa.
@@AlexandrBorschchev I don’t think so. I think our brain is wired to link slow music with a more melancholic/sad feeling , I mean when you’re sad you’re also quite slow and low on energy
Checkpoint: After 12 years of depression, personal struggle and even transition, I'm finally pursuing a dream I never thought possible by going to college for a career goal I didn't believe I would ever make happen, while also free to express myself as I wish to and believed would always isolate and hurt me externally. I look up from an assignment and just blink multiple times, still shocked this is real and happening and I'm out of a job I hated and sucked my soul, just to get by day by day. Keep hope as alive as your favorite stories.
Checkpoint fellas: My life was falling apart and the events that caused it left me traumatized and mentally ill. Over a year later I’m finally seeing recovery. I’ve regained a sense of identity and have a newfound resolve. I’ve finally begun to heal and I overcame the hurdles that stood between myself and the next phase of my life. I am now just days away from this new chapter. To the reader: You are redeemable. No matter how far gone you are there is always a way forward. That is what makes sentience so profound friend. The ability to perceive the world as we wish.
That's awesome. Much love man. It does feel like everything is falling apart around me, but the heart won't die. Other people I've known have fallen, I could never buy it like that. I can't see the future if I'm gone, you know? Maybe I can find a way to spring back up.
This was touching to read. I have been going through similar feelings and experiences; have spent most of the last 7 years being a full time stoner because everything was too painful otherwise, and am currently waking up from that and adjusting to normal consciousness and all the thoughts and feelings that come with it. Despite how awful and stupid and cruel this world can be, I have to at least try to reclaim and fulfill the feelings I had long ago... it may be a fool's errand, but I have to try. Wish you well.
@@Nesenda Very good actually! A tad stressful since it was a solo trip. But I'm going again next month and yet again in the spring to see the cherry blossoms.
Checkpoint: I was hired as a flight controller for NASA 6 months ago and the training is beating my ass. I'm over half way done though and if I hang in there and do my best I can make it. Just gotta keep moving and keep pushing. I never thought I'd make it here because my grades in school were trash and I ended up stuck in retail after college, but if I can make it this far I can go even further. I'll try to update again when there's news. Much love to everyone struggling. Hang in there and you'll be okay. There's never a mistake so large you can't fix it with good help and hard work!
Checkpoint: I am going to try again, because this time I have set things right. The past year was filled with negativity to the point that I encountered a massive failure and roadblock in my life. Somehow, that failure awakened me to the reality that I have to look at the people who stood by me from the beginning and dedicate my life and goals to them.
I've been a gamer for years, and I've played a ton of games throughout my 33 years on earth, and in my opinion, Chrono Trigger is the greatest game of all time.
Never played Chrono Trigger but I like this song and it's one of those summer nostalgia weekends. The floating islands remind me of the Hyrule Temple map in Smash Bros Melee
Please, play it. I promise you this isn't the only fiercely memorable track from that game. You'll have a great time with the interesting characters and the crazy-ass story.
Refusing to reuse their ancestor’s amusement, The refugee simply seeks refuge, Believing the future must get better. For the children, out of their element, Adapts and evolves, mutates, yet also clings, However possible, guided by otherworldly beings. Striving forward, reaching heights no one else could imagine, These are the ones who were mentioned years ago. These are the ones the others look towards. -Aaron C Pitts
Checkpoint: I've gone way further than most to achieve my goals; it's lonely out here. People like stories of heroes and self made men, but I haven't found anyone who understands what that's like, with all the the sacrifices and compromises. Sometimes I feel like I'd give it all to see a smile on my child's face - but they don't even exist. I still hold out hope that I'll find someone in the future. Just have to keep moving. *Plays Rocket Man by Elton John
Checkpoint: It took me 10 years after I finished school, but I finally learned a trade I enjoy and managed to find a company that employed me despite my disability and treats me right. I never thought I would get this far. I could do it somehow, through hard work and determination, and so can you! Never give up
Checkpoint: I'm almost finished with college. Honestly it's been making me nervous having to accept that I won't be living with my friends soon and I'll have to start my adult life for real. I'm not sure if the major I chose is the right one for me, but there's no turning back and I think I can make something of it. I'm torn between wanting to move away and wanting to stay near my family and home. I'm not sure if I'm the type of person to ever truly be satisfied, but I hope that no matter what I do I can keep my loved ones and make a place for myself.
checkpoint: ive been sick a lot but im making a game, about other places- and im listening to mitsuda's music to study with my gf so we can do better work together. its a nice respite after bad things, i hope stuff works out for us and we can keep being friends and make really cool stuff together xoxoxo - moga, 1900, 5/28/2023
Checkpoint: I'm 23 now, probably last listened to this when I was much younger. Still my favorite version to this day. Time's are hard, nowadays, but I know I'll pull through.
Checkpoint: 22 now, things sucks in big picture, sucks only somewhat less when close and personal. But maybe... maybe everything will be alright. It's good to have hope. Some says that hope don't last. Better to make sure that you don't need to hope before it, then.
Checkpoint: I'm 17 and living at Turkey I'm nervous about my future and I have a university entrance exam to prepare. I told my family that I will study economics at the uni but now I cannot even think about it. I like read and talk about econimics but I hate maths and I hate even more to work at an office white collar job which is probably what ı gonna do if ı study econ. Since my childhood I love playing games and now I'm thinking about studying video game developing. But all the unis that have this department is private unis and my family probably cannot afford them ıf I dont get tuttion they cost like 8k dollars yearly but tuttion exams need me to make maths which I suck very hard I feel like stupid when I study maths and I dont know if my family supports me when I say them that I'm gonna study video game development. I dont now what to do should I continue to study for econ or should I follow my dreams on video game development there is only 1.5 years left to me to study and set course to my life. Ps:I'm not confidient about my english sorry if this is hard to understand I'm not fluent
Checkpoint: I've been learning to deal with my feelings, and actually admit to myself it's alright to be a little selfish and think about what's best for me. My parents always would make me feel bad for thinking about myself around them. And made me feel like I had to constantly do what others want so that way I wasn't be mean... they hated my sassy nature too and made me feel like the way I talked to people was wrong... I've made it this far on my own strength and the strength my friends have given me... I am valuable in my own life. And I'm also haply Andrew tate is finally getting justice
CheckPoint: I´m not in my best moment, i am afraid of tomorrow, i left the University for economic reasons. I´m 20 and i´m unemployed, everybody says i´m too young and have a life ahead... but i´m so scared about the future, the pandemic really chance my life... I don´t want to be a failure to my family, to my brothers, and to myself... i wonder if in the future i will come back to the University and finish Engineering Carrer... sometimes i feel like nothing matters, and being depressed everytime is a torture... But isn´t time for that... When i listen things like this, i remember better times, and that gives me hope, and courage... i have dreams, big dreams, someday maybe...
Checkpoint: Wow, its been a while since writing one of these, if someone had told me i would be with the man of my dreams a few months ago, i'd have shrugged and said i can only hope so, despite that, it happened, and i couldnt be happier. if anyone who reads this struggles with loneliness, just try to remember, there is someone out there who will one day tell you they love you more than they could ever explain, and that they could also be closer to you than you think.
Chrono Trigger was just one of those games released at a perfect time and place in the golden era of RPGs. Chrono Cross while good just couldn't match the magic of the original, and they can't even so much sa get a remake of this game because for some reason they have no confidence in it.
Checkpoint: I'm at a point where many doors are opening for me in life. It's scary to make choices now, because I know that I can't choose all of them. If I choose one, 3 or 4 will close. This choice has paralyzed me, so I find myself at a standstill. I fear that making a bad choice will forever ruin my future opportunities, but standing still is somehow scarier as I watch my friends all pass me in life. Come what may, I must make a choice. Progress saved.
Checkpoint: I'm 34, even the fact that i have a degree and be kinda smart; i'm stucked in a mediocre job, and can't find a way to do any other thing to keep looking for my dreams. I started to think that my life is pretty short and i'm starting to think that my luck can change but don't know how. I always come back here to find peace.
Checkpoint: struggling with depression and identity crisis, 2 daughters and a beautiful Mrs all of whom keep me grounded and anchored to the world. But getting up for work is a struggle, finding interest in most things on a day to day is nonexistent, struggling to sleep at night as my mind wanders and my autistic traits catch up to me, but I'll continue on because I have to be a man for my children and my better half. The release of suicide seems more like a warm blanket in a cold harsh reality than it does a bleak ending to an unfinished chapter. Maybe I need help. Maybe I just need to be better. But I don't know where to start or what else to try after 28 years grinding against the whetstone asking myself, and the world around me, why I'm not normal. The cliché answer that normality is abnormal doesn't give me strength or solace, because I walk as a freak amongst circus freaks and I can't shake this feeling and these thoughts. I don't know what to do or where to go, I just know my family needs me, so where's the motivation to be found?
Motivation is to be found in the simple glory of getting up every day to provide for the people you love. I know it's hard, and that I'm a stranger who couldn't possibly understand the depths of your struggle, but I promise you, learning to take pride in the cross you bear, and what it means for others around you, is the most meaningful thing you could ever do. For yourself, and for others.
Motivation is not something that will come to you out of desperation. It will however come out of clarity, a clear idea of one's self, and things to strive for in life. This clarity is something I believe you my friend lack. Maybe it is because life goals you may of had got cut off, maybe you never had any and only now can you look back to find nothing within yourself after all these grueling years. However you do have something, a family. You created life, life that will experience the wonders of our world, do wonderful things and love them, will go through hardships, and make connections with others that will help their lives, maybe even save them. I would try to find clarity in that, no matter how much the world around you fights against you, puts you down. No matter how corpret the world gets, and no matter how much those corporations will try to belittle you for their own personal gain, they can NEVER take them away from you. Not as long as you are there to protect them. Be there for them, and eventually they will turn around to save you. Others in life will have more money then you, be more famous, but none of that is worth anything to what you have gotten because that is real. I hope you message me back, I want to know that you are okay because I am proud of you. Proud that you opened up about this and that you seem to be open to help, a lot of people tend to not be able to do what you have done. Do get actual help however, you should get professional help. Have a nice day.
I remember that I once found this magic Japanese channel with these 90's classic videogame relaxing music that I used while building Legos with my brother, while other people posted checkpoints. Suddenly I never found out that channel again, and thought I'd lost it forever, yet here I am again at if not the same, somewhat similar place where people leave there checkpoints to feel a bit less stressed bout their own personal journies we all share. Truly magic
Checkpoint: I broke up with my girlfriend in January and I still think of her often. She was a part of my life for a couple of years and I grew up and changed a lot during that time. I think it was the right choice because long distance can be very difficult and I didn't want to drag things along for so long when there was a clear strain on the relationship because of circumstances. I go to a difficult university and study physics, and I often worry that I will not make it through because it is very hard and requires so much from me all the time. I am by no means a quiet person but my life seems to be very quiet. It is peaceful but also tragic. When you are holding on to things you focus so intently on maintaining your grasp, but as soon as you let go, even only for a moment, the task of taking hold once again seems monumentous. I dream of having my life back and having time to experience small joys such as walking outside on a weekend without having to hurry back to study. Many facets of the modern world delude us and, in reality, we are quite simple creatures who need basic things that may seem almost trivial in comparison with the alluring man-made wonders. I know someday I will have this freedom.
checkpoint: vencemos muitas lutas, venceremos outras mais. Hoje é só uma escolha e um caminho. nós sempre vivemos em emergência, querendo ou não. "descanse ou lute, mas nunca espere."
To be fair, it wasn't some type of musical cover or similar. It was the soundtrack to a full game release back in early 2000's. Square had the rights to "protect" their intellectual property but, doesn't mean we have to appreciate it. Especially considering they haven't done shit with the ip since.
The original Corridors of Time has been my emotional support song ever since I played Chrono Trigger for the first time 4 years ago. It's gotten me through some really tough times. I found this arrangement a few months ago and it's replaced the original for that purpose. The peace and calming otherworldlyness this song embodies is truly beautiful.
I hope everyone reading this has a wonderful life going forward. Despite the hardships, we're all gonna make it :)
Many of us feel the same bro❤
for me, that was the taia version. Too bad it was removed from youtube but it can still be found in the internet archive.
One of the only songs i can tear anytime i listen to it.
Checkpoint: We're alive. Here and now. What comes tomorrow? No one really knows. Find peace in the now and comfort that whatever may come, it will be alright. Do your best and things will turn out fine.
Nem sempre as coisas dão certo, infelizmente. Pessoas sofrem durante a vida e exigir esforço sem fim é muito limitante, camaradas, se unam e descubram o por que vocês se sentem como estão, se for um momento difícil que você não pode resolver, essa é a vida. Injusta.
Yeah, my job asked me where I saw myself in 5 years and I put that... they asked me to the office to explain myself and were bewildered. They fired me no joke
Nice.
Keep at it, don't give up, seek support it'll all be alright ❤
I found schala
Whatever happened to that child
With eyes so bright and love so wild
His many dreams of the starry sky
Couldn't change the fact he wasn't meant to fly
Alone in the mud, as the fire died
He wondered amid the tears he cried
Whatever happened to that child
With eyes so bright and love so wild
Whatever happened to those dreams of mine
Now lost forever in the corridors of time
Beautiful
what a beautiful poem, really hit hard.
This is why I read the comments
Knowing who that child probably is, this poem hits harder than usual.
The Black Wind howls... One among you will soon perish.
My oldest brother played Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross. These music will always take me back to those days. I will always remember him by this.
I lost my youngest bro last winter December 5th....1993-2021,songs like these at least soothe the pain some what knowing he loved playing these 😢
@@Spenced86 i am sorry for reading this, bruh! i still have my youngest brother, and i always trynna keep him alive, observing from far away, so far from my family.
this was my brother's favorite song and game too :(

Checkpoint: I'm 18 and started composing last year. I hope to one day be able to compose something as beautiful and touching as this piece of music
I borrowed the same path 10 years ago.
Now, I'm professional composer since 5 years and I never regretted my sacrifices.
Don't forget your objectives and work hard to realize your dreams.
I hope you will accomplish yours.
Amically :)
@@vincentsergent8754 hello Vincent, can I ask you what you compose for and at what age you started composing?
how do you study? I'm stagnant, oh and you have instagram??
keep doing your thing bro!
yeah! go for it!
Whoa, that choir part hits HARD. It already was the climax of the immensely memorable original track, and this arrangement made it even more gorgeous. I know the whole thing is inherently impossible to ruin even if you get three ducks with strep throats to sing it, but still... wow.
Checkpoint : for the first time in more than 3 years, things seems good again.
never give up boys and girls, life will find a way. much love.
There's just something magical about winding up in an unknown time, taking a random teleporter, and finding out there's a whole kingdom in the sky.
Been listening to this for years. It's been in my D&D campaigns. Just an amazing work.
There are no real checkpoints in life. Everyone plays with a single save style and permadeath is always enabled. Take care of yourselves guys. World grows more uncertain each day...
You too...
Fair but checkpoints add some spice to the concept of day-to-day life :))
I know it's not much...
But here... won't you stay for a moment and rest, even if it is brief?
You are doing great...
...I can see it in you!
Butterflies can't see their own wings yet...
...they're beautiful, are they not?
I believe in you as many have before...
...I will still be here if you need me.
...so please...
Don't give up hope Adventurer...
...we're cheering you on...
...the world is cheering you on!
It was this point in the game that I knew: this is my favorite game of all time. What a masterpiece.
Checkpoint: Here I am, in my thirties, listening to this song again, from a game that marked a generation and that makes me think about going back in time to today! My life was one of the best, but today depression takes over, sometimes I try to recover, but not everyone around me wants peace. Someday I will come back here to write that everything worked out and that I overcame depression!
Edit: Updating here, life took a turn, and I feel that the prayers and martyrdoms that I described earlier were mere trials of life, and that they are part of a certain energy that generates the earth. I'm still very afraid to go out on the streets, because of the threats I suffered for being gay, but I try to think positive! Anxiety and depression still walk with me, but with less intensity.
Edit (2): I went to therapy the last time and we came to the conclusion that I end up boycotting myself and putting my talent aside for others, because I live with those who don't know how to have peace and can't give peace to those around! However, I got job interviews and I'm in the business, trusting myself more, not letting low self-esteem take me!
Edit (3): I'm no longer living in my hometown, I went through a predicament that made me very sad, but that's what made me hit the road and today I'm able to fulfill part of my dream, which is to work professionally with photography!
Edit: (4): Today I live in another city, much bigger than the previous one where I've lived practically my whole life, and it's been difficult, I don't know a living soul to trust and sometimes I go out for a beer and smoke a joint to distract myself. But despite everything and anything, it's amazing to see another place and be able to support myself, live well. I still don't trust the people around me (those who live where I live today), however, I try to trust, I listen to stories and I try to take better care of myself! I've been traveling a lot, including taking pictures and being happy in this business, living a dream, as I said in edit number 3! Today I live in the south of Brazil and it has been quite a challenge... Follow your dreams, make it real!
FINAL EDIT: Hello travelers :)
I'm here to close this story, because through your "saves", I was able to catch up on all my checkpoints and thus transform them into a life experience.
And this time I'm on the line: Climbing and growing with each passing day, working with my dream of photography and embracing my solitude.
Finally, I was able to welcome and recognize my "Crono", better known as "my inner child".
AND FOR THOSE WHO ARE FEELING DOWN, REMEMBER THAT... WE HAD CREATED THIS STORY.... and these words belong to us!
Thank you for participating!
**samam
And to those who have always read here and followed along, never give up on your dreams, every day and every moment is a construction and one more piece in the puzzle!
Thank you all for the replies and for following :)
hope youre doing well!
Hang in there , I cry when i hear these tracks remembering the best days before the ugly face of dipression started to show. Thank u to the uploader this makes me feel a piece of joy again
Just like the day you found this, you're gonna remember how beautiful it is to be alive!
The only way to get rid of depression is to enjoy it
@@francescoadinolfi8837 that's it"
This is a dream we'll never see come to fruition, killed by a C&D. The amount of love that was going into this project was amazing the community had so much hope, I remember so long ago seeing the teaser for it I've downloaded this song to make sure I never lose it
It's been a long time since I know about this project and the C&D. Sad... I wish they could have kept going silently, but I guess they didn't.
Back again to listen and it still hurts knowing that people loved this story so much to put so much time and effort into it only for red tape to get in the way, a Chrono Trigger R would be something I don't think many of us could possibly describe. Growing up is really tough but stories that fill us with hope definitely make the journey easier.

Checkpoint: Things are looking up. As time goes on, life gets harder but I also get stronger. I've been through so much that if I went back and told a younger me what was in store... Well... that probably wouldn't be a good idea... but I've finally got some direction and a solid path laid out before me... one that I chose, for me, on my terms and no one else's. I'm gonna get everything I want out of this life. It's only a matter of time now. If I've made it this far, nothing can stop me.
Thanks for shsring ☝🏿💚
This is deep and I can relate. Always keep your head up and face whatever bumps in road may come our way, cuz after every dark night there's an even brighter day 💯
This is good. This is authentic
Followup: things just keep getting better. Moving across there country soon. Couldn't be happier.
I’m with you
I love this version because it's a wonderful song from Chrono Trigger that evokes deep emotion but the guitar also brings with it a feeling that is reminiscent of Chrono Cross as well, which adds even more depth to it in my opinion.
Checkpoint: One of the hardest times of my life emotionally... I'm in my early twenties learning what it means to take care of oneself, often I thought that I had to be tough and endure everything with a mask but I'm slowly learning to be more open about how I'm feeling and learning how to communicate with others instead of thinking that I'm pleasing everyone by being quiet and agreeing to everything.
be kind to yourself. have patience. it will be ok.
ty
I could listen to this all day! Peaceful, inspirational, and epic!
Checkpoint: Its 2022, depression sucks but im alive. Stay strong everyone💯
Hang in there brother. I'm about to undertake something very challenging that will take years to accomplish. I am hoping I am strong enough
And you'll remain alive, brother. You can and you will beat that coward of a dysfunction. Get professional help, get some exercise, listen to gorgeous music like this everyday, and you'll eventually get out of the bad spot. You're strong enough! You got this!
Checkpoint: October 2022; things are getting better, I think. A month-and-a-half into my grade 11 year, and people are starting to expect things from me. I think I can deal with the stress if I get rid of things I should have stopped doing a long time ago, and maybe drop a class, but no solution will make everyone happy.
On a brighter note, I've stopped ignoring my classmates and playing classic JRPGs in class, and it turns out I've been surrounded by some really interesting and friendly people this whole time. I've been able to start Computer Science classes this year, and programming might just be what I want to do in life. No commitments, though; I've got plenty of those already.
Let me know in a year or two whether things have gotten better in the world. Also, thanks for reading, it helps.
This doesn't get old. I put this on repeat while editing writing, working on the aquarium (which is named Zeal as it were), tinkering in the workshop, whatever. I need Chrono Trigger: Resurrection to get resurrectioned
Agreed; squenix doesn't care about their legacy, so why should we care what they say about it?
epic comment
Checkpoint: 2022.12.
We’re still in Corona. And more, in the war.
But we’re alive. Don't give up hope.
*"This is the eternal kingdom of Zeal, where dreams can come true"*
@28th Are you a butterfly dreaming you're a man? Or a bowling ball dreaming you're a plate of sashimi?
@Pierre Légaré брат, ты очень круто сказал!👍🏿
@Pierre Légaré I'm sorry, I thought your translator was working.
inside my head, the Frogs theme immediately started playing
@Pierre Légaré 😂😂😂
The dream of Zeal will live forever.
This is a very good remake of this piece. Granted, credit where it's due, it's a very 1 to 1 remake of already very good music, but still, the choices of instuments are very good and the important melodies are well preserved. My nostalgia appreciates it.
I would say I've reached a checkpoint. But really I'm just stumbling upon an old save file. Man this song brings back good times when I'd watch my Dad play this game and I'd try to play it, but still couldn't read well at the time. Glad my Dad had such great taste in video games.
Checkpoint: I'm 24 and have been having bad anxiety lately, but I refuse to let that stop me as I keep traveling on this adventure of life. Still a single guy with no kids but still pursuing my dreams and trying to live each and every day to the fullest. Just bought a little piece of land in town and am hoping to start construction on a new house, still living with my parents and am studying for my Fundamentals of Engineering Exam, which I will be taking in a month. To be honest I've just been feeling down lately but life is still beautiful, to anyone else struggling out there whatever you do just keep moving, your situation is not forever and as long as you keep working hard and don't let toxic people discourage you from your dreams, you'll be blessed in ways you can't imagine now down the road!
Logging out - (2023 April 2nd 9:02AM Central Time)
omg the mixing is so good
Awesome rendition and love the picture…thats Schalla and young Magus
The word for space also looks a lot alike... Choros!
@donjuan77 that’s
@donjuan77 schala
an epiphany; when you listen to this sped up x1.25, it sounds almost inspiring and uplifting but when you slow it becomes melancholic and sorrowful. slowing down and speeding up the corridors of time can change the mood based on tempo
That's how musical notes work. Epiphany is part of time, what is generated and polished throughout our experience.
I noticed the effects of 1.25 and 0.75 speeds, i sometimes watch combat matches on 1.25 to try to learn the thought of moving faster, most songs work as a wakeupstate at 1.25 because it sounds faster than you've listened so your mind picks up, i think, to be faster. Anyway, good find and i recommend exploring it on all sorts of audio things.
@@samaneta what
@@samanetait's not something inherent about musical notes, it's about how our brains get exposed to music. hypothetically, there's a parallel universe out there which faster tempo sounds "sad" and vice versa.
@@AlexandrBorschchev I don’t think so. I think our brain is wired to link slow music with a more melancholic/sad feeling , I mean when you’re sad you’re also quite slow and low on energy
Checkpoint: After 12 years of depression, personal struggle and even transition, I'm finally pursuing a dream I never thought possible by going to college for a career goal I didn't believe I would ever make happen, while also free to express myself as I wish to and believed would always isolate and hurt me externally. I look up from an assignment and just blink multiple times, still shocked this is real and happening and I'm out of a job I hated and sucked my soul, just to get by day by day.
Keep hope as alive as your favorite stories.
thanks for sharing, bud :)
You can beat depression. I did. It takes much time and effort.
Remember you deserve this.
Checkpoint fellas:
My life was falling apart and the events that caused it left me traumatized and mentally ill. Over a year later I’m finally seeing recovery. I’ve regained a sense of identity and have a newfound resolve. I’ve finally begun to heal and I overcame the hurdles that stood between myself and the next phase of my life. I am now just days away from this new chapter.
To the reader:
You are redeemable. No matter how far gone you are there is always a way forward. That is what makes sentience so profound friend. The ability to perceive the world as we wish.
That's awesome. Much love man. It does feel like everything is falling apart around me, but the heart won't die. Other people I've known have fallen, I could never buy it like that. I can't see the future if I'm gone, you know? Maybe I can find a way to spring back up.
This was touching to read. I have been going through similar feelings and experiences; have spent most of the last 7 years being a full time stoner because everything was too painful otherwise, and am currently waking up from that and adjusting to normal consciousness and all the thoughts and feelings that come with it. Despite how awful and stupid and cruel this world can be, I have to at least try to reclaim and fulfill the feelings I had long ago... it may be a fool's errand, but I have to try. Wish you well.
Checkpoint: I've studied Japanese every day for over 2 years and will be finally visiting this year. This will be the adventure of my life.
Congratulation! have fun thr !
Good luck!
Вы летите туда, чтобы увидеть Клаву Коку?
So, howd it go?
@@Nesenda Very good actually! A tad stressful since it was a solo trip. But I'm going again next month and yet again in the spring to see the cherry blossoms.
44 minutes in, it occurred to me that I've been listening to the same thing for a while and it hadn't changed yet. Must mean its a good one.
Checkpoint: I was hired as a flight controller for NASA 6 months ago and the training is beating my ass. I'm over half way done though and if I hang in there and do my best I can make it. Just gotta keep moving and keep pushing. I never thought I'd make it here because my grades in school were trash and I ended up stuck in retail after college, but if I can make it this far I can go even further. I'll try to update again when there's news. Much love to everyone struggling. Hang in there and you'll be okay. There's never a mistake so large you can't fix it with good help and hard work!
Thank you, Honor, for this! We are couting on you, too!
That... Melody... it's somehow... remaining me of my childhood... what.. is this..? ...... I love it.
Checkpoint: I am going to try again, because this time I have set things right. The past year was filled with negativity to the point that I encountered a massive failure and roadblock in my life.
Somehow, that failure awakened me to the reality that I have to look at the people who stood by me from the beginning and dedicate my life and goals to them.
I've been a gamer for years, and I've played a ton of games throughout my 33 years on earth, and in my opinion, Chrono Trigger is the greatest game of all time.
This remaster is so goooood!!!! :DDD
大好きな曲。久しぶりに聴いたけど、脳みそのﾘﾗｯｸｽ効果がすごい。脳圧下がった感。
this is dope no lie!
wow i love the checkpoints good luck everyone!
Never played Chrono Trigger but I like this song and it's one of those summer nostalgia weekends. The floating islands remind me of the Hyrule Temple map in Smash Bros Melee
Please, play it. I promise you this isn't the only fiercely memorable track from that game. You'll have a great time with the interesting characters and the crazy-ass story.
To be fair, Corridors of Time is one of the strongest tracks in the OST, but the game has a LOT of strong songs and visuals. Well worth a playthrough.
Refusing to reuse their ancestor’s amusement,
The refugee simply seeks refuge,
Believing the future must get better.
For the children, out of their element,
Adapts and evolves, mutates, yet also clings,
However possible, guided by otherworldly beings.
Striving forward, reaching heights no one else could imagine,
These are the ones who were mentioned years ago.
These are the ones the others look towards.
-Aaron C Pitts
Checkpoint: I've gone way further than most to achieve my goals; it's lonely out here. People like stories of heroes and self made men, but I haven't found anyone who understands what that's like, with all the the sacrifices and compromises. Sometimes I feel like I'd give it all to see a smile on my child's face - but they don't even exist. I still hold out hope that I'll find someone in the future. Just have to keep moving.
*Plays Rocket Man by Elton John
That's it, Michael :)
Keep goin', we are couting on you!
@@samaneta Thanks man, same to you! It takes all of us together.
Checkpoint: It took me 10 years after I finished school, but I finally learned a trade I enjoy and managed to find a company that employed me despite my disability and treats me right. I never thought I would get this far.
I could do it somehow, through hard work and determination, and so can you! Never give up
Happy for you :)
~The black wind howls, my children....

Checkpoint: I'm almost finished with college. Honestly it's been making me nervous having to accept that I won't be living with my friends soon and I'll have to start my adult life for real. I'm not sure if the major I chose is the right one for me, but there's no turning back and I think I can make something of it. I'm torn between wanting to move away and wanting to stay near my family and home. I'm not sure if I'm the type of person to ever truly be satisfied, but I hope that no matter what I do I can keep my loved ones and make a place for myself.
The Eternal Kingdom of Zeal.....
incredible
I so miss this generation of gaming OST's. SNES has some of the greatest music.
The best song i listened in my life!
This game means so much to me, man...
Awesome! Like! congrats
Your Videos is really good✅
Play this in the background at my Wake.
checkpoint: ive been sick a lot but im making a game, about other places- and im listening to mitsuda's music to study with my gf so we can do better work together. its a nice respite after bad things, i hope stuff works out for us and we can keep being friends and make really cool stuff together xoxoxo - moga, 1900, 5/28/2023
Wow, My best friend, Wonderful video dear. I enjoyed watching. Hope to see you soon...
This is driving me nuts I love all the songs from Chrono Trigger and I love playing the game. What do they hope to gain by taking all my songs down?
Not only songs. It was meant to be an entire game.
Checkpoint: I'm 23 now, probably last listened to this when I was much younger. Still my favorite version to this day. Time's are hard, nowadays, but I know I'll pull through.
What a blessed ost.
IKR. So many memorable tracks. Mitsoda is beyond gifted.
@@rafaellago172 Hahaha
令人热泪盈眶的感动，这首歌是有魔力的
Jesus loves you
好好聽好像小時候玩的Rpg遊戲主機不知道為什麼遊迴於這曲調之間😌 它是什麼遊戲感覺好像有年代
Checkpoint: it never got better, even after 20+ years. Everyone who said otherwise was just gaslighting you. You should’ve done it.
Checkpoint: 22 now, things sucks in big picture, sucks only somewhat less when close and personal. But maybe... maybe everything will be alright. It's good to have hope.
Some says that hope don't last. Better to make sure that you don't need to hope before it, then.
whats crazy, this beautiful arrangement, at the time of this posting, 46 people downvoted. See, people can be wrong with their opinions.
Always wished we coulda found Schala…
Checkpoint: I'm 17 and living at Turkey I'm nervous about my future and I have a university entrance exam to prepare. I told my family that I will study economics at the uni but now I cannot even think about it. I like read and talk about econimics but I hate maths and I hate even more to work at an office white collar job which is probably what ı gonna do if ı study econ. Since my childhood I love playing games and now I'm thinking about studying video game developing. But all the unis that have this department is private unis and my family probably cannot afford them ıf I dont get tuttion they cost like 8k dollars yearly but tuttion exams need me to make maths which I suck very hard I feel like stupid when I study maths and I dont know if my family supports me when I say them that I'm gonna study video game development. I dont now what to do should I continue to study for econ or should I follow my dreams on video game development there is only 1.5 years left to me to study and set course to my life.
Ps:I'm not confidient about my english sorry if this is hard to understand I'm not fluent
Checkpoint: I've been learning to deal with my feelings, and actually admit to myself it's alright to be a little selfish and think about what's best for me. My parents always would make me feel bad for thinking about myself around them. And made me feel like I had to constantly do what others want so that way I wasn't be mean... they hated my sassy nature too and made me feel like the way I talked to people was wrong... I've made it this far on my own strength and the strength my friends have given me... I am valuable in my own life. And I'm also haply Andrew tate is finally getting justice
Played this game multiple times on simulator. Best of the best in game play, story lines, and ofc, soundtrack!
Love it
so we all agree this is the official checkpoint.
CheckPoint: I´m not in my best moment, i am afraid of tomorrow, i left the University for economic reasons. I´m 20 and i´m unemployed, everybody says i´m too young and have a life ahead... but i´m so scared about the future, the pandemic really chance my life... I don´t want to be a failure to my family, to my brothers, and to myself... i wonder if in the future i will come back to the University and finish Engineering Carrer... sometimes i feel like nothing matters, and being depressed everytime is a torture...
But isn´t time for that... When i listen things like this, i remember better times, and that gives me hope, and courage... i have dreams, big dreams, someday maybe...
Checkpoint: Wow, its been a while since writing one of these, if someone had told me i would be with the man of my dreams a few months ago, i'd have shrugged and said i can only hope so, despite that, it happened, and i couldnt be happier.
if anyone who reads this struggles with loneliness, just try to remember, there is someone out there who will one day tell you they love you more than they could ever explain, and that they could also be closer to you than you think.
amazing
!!!
Chrono Trigger was just one of those games released at a perfect time and place in the golden era of RPGs. Chrono Cross while good just couldn't match the magic of the original, and they can't even so much sa get a remake of this game because for some reason they have no confidence in it.
CC also seems odd because Toriyama had no connection to it... I wonder how that occurred...
"You" live in 😴eal...
Checkpoint: I'm at a point where many doors are opening for me in life. It's scary to make choices now, because I know that I can't choose all of them. If I choose one, 3 or 4 will close. This choice has paralyzed me, so I find myself at a standstill. I fear that making a bad choice will forever ruin my future opportunities, but standing still is somehow scarier as I watch my friends all pass me in life. Come what may, I must make a choice.
Progress saved.
Checkpoint: I'm 34, even the fact that i have a degree and be kinda smart; i'm stucked in a mediocre job, and can't find a way to do any other thing to keep looking for my dreams.
I started to think that my life is pretty short and i'm starting to think that my luck can change but don't know how.
I always come back here to find peace.
Волшебная музыка волшебной игры💘
Perfect sleep music ❤❤❤
Checkpoint : I just found out how to fuck up my brain with no substances, just by perception
this works alright with as a canon with itself. lol.
This aged like fine wine.
The Chroono Trigger soundtrack makes for some good driving music.
I can attest to that!
@vitalvenom chrono
Checkpoint: I was about to write about being alone, however one of my thirteen cats started to lick my cheek. Felt really happy!
Checkpoint: struggling with depression and identity crisis, 2 daughters and a beautiful Mrs all of whom keep me grounded and anchored to the world. But getting up for work is a struggle, finding interest in most things on a day to day is nonexistent, struggling to sleep at night as my mind wanders and my autistic traits catch up to me, but I'll continue on because I have to be a man for my children and my better half. The release of suicide seems more like a warm blanket in a cold harsh reality than it does a bleak ending to an unfinished chapter. Maybe I need help. Maybe I just need to be better. But I don't know where to start or what else to try after 28 years grinding against the whetstone asking myself, and the world around me, why I'm not normal. The cliché answer that normality is abnormal doesn't give me strength or solace, because I walk as a freak amongst circus freaks and I can't shake this feeling and these thoughts. I don't know what to do or where to go, I just know my family needs me, so where's the motivation to be found?
Motivation is to be found in the simple glory of getting up every day to provide for the people you love. I know it's hard, and that I'm a stranger who couldn't possibly understand the depths of your struggle, but I promise you, learning to take pride in the cross you bear, and what it means for others around you, is the most meaningful thing you could ever do. For yourself, and for others.
Motivation is not something that will come to you out of desperation. It will however come out of clarity, a clear idea of one's self, and things to strive for in life. This clarity is something I believe you my friend lack. Maybe it is because life goals you may of had got cut off, maybe you never had any and only now can you look back to find nothing within yourself after all these grueling years. However you do have something, a family. You created life, life that will experience the wonders of our world, do wonderful things and love them, will go through hardships, and make connections with others that will help their lives, maybe even save them. I would try to find clarity in that, no matter how much the world around you fights against you, puts you down. No matter how corpret the world gets, and no matter how much those corporations will try to belittle you for their own personal gain, they can NEVER take them away from you. Not as long as you are there to protect them. Be there for them, and eventually they will turn around to save you. Others in life will have more money then you, be more famous, but none of that is worth anything to what you have gotten because that is real. I hope you message me back, I want to know that you are okay because I am proud of you. Proud that you opened up about this and that you seem to be open to help, a lot of people tend to not be able to do what you have done. Do get actual help however, you should get professional help. Have a nice day.
I remember that I once found this magic Japanese channel with these 90's classic videogame relaxing music that I used while building Legos with my brother, while other people posted checkpoints.
Suddenly I never found out that channel again, and thought I'd lost it forever, yet here I am again at if not the same, somewhat similar place where people leave there checkpoints to feel a bit less stressed bout their own personal journies we all share. Truly magic
Checkpoint: I broke up with my girlfriend in January and I still think of her often. She was a part of my life for a couple of years and I grew up and changed a lot during that time. I think it was the right choice because long distance can be very difficult and I didn't want to drag things along for so long when there was a clear strain on the relationship because of circumstances. I go to a difficult university and study physics, and I often worry that I will not make it through because it is very hard and requires so much from me all the time. I am by no means a quiet person but my life seems to be very quiet. It is peaceful but also tragic. When you are holding on to things you focus so intently on maintaining your grasp, but as soon as you let go, even only for a moment, the task of taking hold once again seems monumentous. I dream of having my life back and having time to experience small joys such as walking outside on a weekend without having to hurry back to study. Many facets of the modern world delude us and, in reality, we are quite simple creatures who need basic things that may seem almost trivial in comparison with the alluring man-made wonders. I know someday I will have this freedom.
checkpoint: vencemos muitas lutas, venceremos outras mais. Hoje é só uma escolha e um caminho.

"descanse ou lute, mas nunca espere."
It is so hard to turn this song off.
Hats off to ya
Just like Squenix, the jerks. Heaven forbid people cover work.
To be fair, it wasn't some type of musical cover or similar. It was the soundtrack to a full game release back in early 2000's. Square had the rights to "protect" their intellectual property but, doesn't mean we have to appreciate it. Especially considering they haven't done shit with the ip since.
@@Liquid-yj1ok Square did not cease and desist my soundtrack, they cease and desisted our fan game. Please look up Chrono Resurrection. :)
@@tssf Yea, the game was what I was referring to
LOVE THIS REMIX
Checkpoint: I'm 20. I don't know what else to put here to be honest
What a good remix.
Best rpg ever for me.
i couldnt tell if the background was moving or not?
anyway this was beautifully made 🧡
Ha! I felt the same way staring at the screen!
I'm 100% convinced it is. It can't fool me!
Wow! 😊
