RIP Akira Toriyama
I’ve never played this game but I loved this sample and I think imma try it out man rip to him man 😢
@@TheBeasty412you’ll be doing yourself a favor, it’s amazing. When this theme comes in the story is already at an insane part, you’ll have a blast
@@TheBeasty412 100% play this. Its insane the legend just passed, even the artwork in this video is him. This is actually considered one of the best RPGS/JRPGS ever made, its not stupidly long, its not grindy, its not baby easy but also not stupidly hard, and it has probably the best pacing in its genre. A lot of games in this genre can hit well over 50+ hours(80-100 honestly) but this wraps it up in about 20-30 and thats with doing lots of content. The pacing is fucking insanely good. Its entire party cast is so good that your biggest flaw with the game is that you cant use them all at the same time. This game wastes no time, but provides massive content. For a game that literally translates into a Time Cause(event,exist,situation etc..) it sure doesnt waste it. I recommend the steam version, or PS1 emulated version. This was also the first game in history to have New game Plus as an actual defined feature. Its actually astounding how well paced and designed this game is.
RIP indeed, im replaying the game now and hit this portion of the game :((( i know he didnt make the music but his character designs are everywhere here.
God why is this comment everywhere. It is sad yeah rip, BUT STOP WRITING IT EVERYWHERE WHY HERE? TALK ABOUT YASUNORI MITSUDA NOT AKIRA WHO MADE SOME ART ON THIS. God this always happens when someone dies.
One of the greatest examples of effective countermelody in music
what does that mean, im genuinely curious. you mean as in a counter to chronos theme or something?
@@ConculusHydro I think it mean when you have one melody going “up” and another melody going “down”.
@@ConculusHydro This is the same melody as Magus's battle theme.
There is no "counter"
@@yourknightmanny the second melodic line that comes in at 0:06-0:07 is at the very least a harmonization if it isn’t a counter but it could also be described that way
I cannot express the level of nostalgia this song brings me. I'm a 36 year old man and this brings me back to my bedroom as a 13 year old playing this for the first time. No other game music hits quite like this games music. And never will.
i feel you! Apart of our generation. I still have my nes and snes and copy of those game. Something you will always remember and never forget. Born in 89.
First time around i was around rhe same age, then and now, and it was really other tracks that hit me the most, including corridors of time, but shortly after and increasingly more over time it has been this one that kinda sticks. The sound, the story and the characters just mesh into such a perfect formula you barely ever see any longer.
I didn't have the chance of playing this masterpiece until 2013...but it feels exactly the same way. I am currently a 38 year old man and this takes me back to better times.
I played it for the first time in 2012 and loved every second of it!! I've beat it probably 20 times since then
We're the same age !!! Same experience!!!!
I'm so glad I know this song exists.
this is the most perfect response to a song ive ever read.
@@vinopenquino Nice!
Why?
Gotta check out this version then ua-cam.com/video/2RcQx2pDuQc/v-deo.html
Example of what I hear when I listen to this song:
Cry of the Ambushed Date
In pain and ice the flow of a conduit is valid to pause,
By starlight and reflecting off the deserts that miss the reigns,
Like a salt flat that strides the skies in gait of a realm withstanding,
Threshing the occult from the tapestry loomed in the weaving of promise..
Poetry is more than a science sometimes. It's a life to be performed for the world to witness.
The Crutch of Power
Dry melancholy floats the suspension of faith's reprieve to languish in folly,
As apprehensive merits inherit blood like wine to drink from one's own bladder,
In keeping defense to the strategy of appreciating the acceptance of passivity,
For one is immune to ceasing to exist when the forests can scream your sighs.
idk why it always makes me cry
pcq t fif
Dopamine
Because it's a song for a tragic character who only wanted what was best for her family.
bro i swear, this track is absolutely one of the most beautiful video game ost ive ever heard. i dont know shit about this game, but i randomly heard this one day and was immediately almost brought to tears. whatever the artists tried to communicate is absolutely conveyed. shit is fucking beautiful. 0:28
very hard not doing so bro
Rest in Peace and Rest easy.Akira Toriyama.May you be up in heaven on youre own Nimbus cloud ☁️.Thankyou for such a happy childhood.Goodbye you are a legend.
I finally realized the descending scale at the beginning (0:05) is ALMOST the same one found in Magus's theme.
Schala - Natural minor
Magus - Phrygian
Well Said dude
Elaborate for the morons like me please
Its like that first note in each melody is a wailing cry (0:29), and Magus chooses to descend into anger yet Schala brings hope after her cry
it feels like schala's theme is more final and sad while magus/janus is in constant anger and unending
which goes with how both act in game with schala accepting her fate despite knowing its awful while janus constantly fighting against it
R.I.P. Akira Toriyama 🕊️
;-;
As we end off 2024 let us remember Toriyama and how he changed the world inspiring so much of what we have today in anime, games and media as a whole
Never played chrono trigger…I think I’ll have too now this song is so beautiful
I played it in 2022 for the first time on steam. It's really amazing
Absolutely play it! I'm jealous...I wish I could play it for the first time again.
It's a classic. Still holds up
UHHHH YOU SHOULD
easily the best JRPG and an absolute classic
Stands to date as one of the most haunting things I've ever heard. Schala is a character that just deserved better.
played chrono cross?
@@retexcrafted Yet to, anything I'm missing out on?
@@aeoninfinity247 the game is 100% a great game and it completes the charactar of shala. that actully was one of the biggist resones they made it. plus the soundtrack to chrono cross is amazing as well
@@retexcrafted
it might complete the character of Schala, but it left the story of Magus unfinished.
and the good ending for both is yet to be seen.
maybe Magus can get the happy ending even while having a tight grip on his desire of power - avoiding King Zeal's fate.
@@yourknightmanny yeah that is fir but i do think his charactars is complete enough. and while magus doesnt get a happy ending that suits him. but still yeah
Will a game ever be this good again? Or were we witness to a singular moment in time, when dreams collided to make reality?
Am I a butterfly dreaming I’m a man…
Or a bowling ball dreaming I’m a plate of sashimi?
There have been many masterpieces with even more coherent stories since CT.
@ go away, let us wallow in a sea of nostalgia
@
You want to be... wrong? So you can _feel_ a certain way (which doesn't require you to be wrong)?
Weird people.
@ it's not that deep bro, we're just enjoying our childhood memories and you trying to ruin it with your _logic_
I used to have this game on my Super Nintendo, not knowing at the time I was playing one of the most important video games ever created. What I took from it at the time was “wow, this is amazing” replaying it over and over again made me realize, the team that gave us this gem were actually, giving us something so important and trying to help us. Thank you, a lot of the data on this cartridge still goes over so many peoples heads, truly a masterpiece with secrets yet to be uncovered.
Say she never been!
Say she never been!
Taylor gang!
I cant believe we are just finding this sample! Dope af!
I didn't know Wiz sampled this until today.
Wiz is trash 🚮
Damn man i can’t express the emotion
I know how you feel. Definitely can appreciate the sound and feel of it…
same. doesnt have a name or words to put it in. just this song.
Goodbye for now, Toriyama-Sensei… ❤️🐉
adios
I had the privilege of playing this when it first came out on the Super Nintendo me and my brothers we split our money paid over a hundred bucks. Just a masterpiece role playing game during the Golden age of video games always seem like there was one good RPG after another during that time but this one definitely sticks out. Almost 30 years later for myself for some reason the character of Shala sticks out to me , she epitomized true woman virtue, it's almost as Lavos just came for her, and this song just brings out those beautiful, tragic tears of lament. Truly sublime.
how can one write so much and say so little
@@yourknightmannyYou must have made multiple accounts to like your own comment lol. How sad
@@SkyStream-lt4dz
I'm 28 years old. I don't think I ever done that in my life. And if I did (on instagram probably) it's because I was right about my opinion - and this isn't the exception.
1- Lavos is just a parasite with no consciousness.
2- For a theme that sounds melancholic a lamenting, the word "sublime" surely sounds pretentious as fuck and stupid as well. Specially with that "truly" sprinkled along with it.
3- He mispelt her name. Fatal mistake. And I bet he doesn't even know her original Japanese name, 'Sarah.' At least, I could've won this bet when this comment was made.
Don't assume things. You don't have psychic powers.
Any other stupid comment? Why did you think I wrote that to begin with?
@@SkyStream-lt4dz, or people just agree with him? Nah, can't be.
@@osterbuuny3083nah, hardly anyone agreed with him when he said Schala's theme is garbage, and tried to rewrite about the Mystics. Which is beyond cringe lol
The fact someone appreciated this theme enough to sample it in a hit rap song pleases me deeply.
Which one?
@@evilla9080 it’s called “never been” by Wiz Khalifa
Yea but wiz trash
@@pablosorto7012 I personally am not a huge fan of him but I appreciate the acknowledgment of a track from a 30 year old video game
@@TheJackster-tl8oi did it have to be wiz though? Black and yellow? Come on now 🚮
I just randomly remembered this song. Man, this takes me back to High School when I completed this game.
paradise to the ears
what's so paradise-like about a lamenting melody?
fuckin nerd @@yourknightmanny
Toriyamas art is so good. Dragon Ball, Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger, Dr. Slump, so many more. Rest in peace.
In a game with such an amazing soundtrack, it’s hard to pick the best…but imo, this is it 🧡
Sledren snapped with this sample song always bring back my childhood memories
An absolute madlad heard this and thought "I can rap over this."
She say she never been!
Who?
@@Carcosaheadwiz khalifa.
@@Carcosahead Wiz Khalifa - Never Been
😢 It brings back great memories
Never has a game felt more adventurous, more magical, than Chrono Trigger. A truly epic tale, and one that I will hold dear for the rest of my time. No other game even comes close to how Chrono Trigger made me feel. All life begins with Nu and ends with Nu… This is the truth! This is my belief! …at least for now.
when your heavy gives you a sandwich and then dies from sniper 0:29
sounds great in good headphones
sounds great in bad headphones too
You could say that about every song in existence
@@yourknightmanny yes but this is one of the best pieces of music ever
@@retexcrafted
no, it fucking isn't. It would be if it was happier but as of right now, I can only think of another way to make it better.
@@yourknightmanny what are you talking about schala doesnt get a happy ending in this game this piece is about her strugles with her mother her misiterios power. this is absoultuly one of the best pieces
This is always the saddest song for me. Due to story. I cry like little girl every time I listen to it.
I was today years young when I learned that Wiz sampled this for Never Been! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Same
“One of the most important video games, ever created”
I’ve been looking everywhere for this
Rest in peace Akira Toriyama
fav theme for years
A classic in its own right. The nostalgia of it all…
This soundtrack always makes me time travel to my youth
"It's a canon event, Magus."
the magus leitmotif gets me every time
I always liked Schala's story. Sad but sweet.
If this isn't played at my funeral I'm not attending!
Short but one of the most memorable melodies from the SNES RPG Era. Chrono Trigger needs a PS5 Remake with beautiful rearrangement of these Masterpieces.
We wasn't supposed to even smoke!
Leaves from the vine, Falling so slow, Like fragile tiny shells, Drifting in the foam. Little soldier boy says, "Carry me home" Sleeping soldier boy, Is carried home.’
Yoooooo!
Taylor Gang!
Bout to roll one up.
The heart and soul will always prevail ❤
astine toi pas avec mon 12
Decino and his "Rage against the latrine" map brought me here. Wow, this is probably even more haunting than the midi version
One among you will shortly perish
artist for chrono trig was the artist for dbz
Gee we couldn't tell...
@@ticklemyball c'mon, man
bruh
he also worked on both their storys both chrono trigger and DragonBall amoung other mangas
Thank You Akira Toriyama for your outstanding contribution to the nations of this world through your artistic and innovative creations that will last for a long time to come...
And thank you Wiz Khalifa, for creating one of the greatest mixtapes in existence,, KUSH & ORANGE JUICE‼️
TRULY a pleasure to be ALIVE to see all this‼️
🙏🏾💪🏾💯🐲🐉🍃🧃
Why we don't have anything like that still 40 years later puzzles me
Right in the feels
Descanse em Paz Toriyama Sensei
"The black wind begins to blow..."
This has to be one of the prettiest for that time....Seriously 💖
Haunting
Yet also beautiful
I’ve never played chronotrigger but these songs give me Stardew valley vibes. I bet concerned ape took inspiration from this games soundtrack.
Abigail, one of the marriage candidates, has a poster of Crono in her bedroom. Crono is the main character of Chrono Trigger.
@@dixie_flatlinez9117 woah good observation
This is the theme you have to build with Chrono Cross in the Lavos fight using the elements.
Wow. All these years I've only known this song as the beat to "Never Been" by Wiz Khalifa. I think the song is even more awesome now
Chrono Trigger é o melhor jogo do universo, simplesmente o melhor..... I love Chrono Trigger....🤩
Nostalgia for a timeline ive never fathomed.
Timeless
Cardo is a genius wow this sample has me in awh
It was acualley Slegdren but it sounds like something cardo would sample
“Earth creates water, water creates wind, wind, makes the fire dance”
Never assume what you see and feel, is real
j'confirm j'suis bandé live
Shoutout to 2C_4M! Had it not been for the random comment they made six years ago, my 8 year quest to find this song would’ve never come to an end!
My OG favorite JRPG Till the "End of Time" ⏳️🌌
😤🔥this shit still hard
this ain't "shit"
shit isnt supposed to be hard for this long go see a doctor

Such a tragic character, all her screen time is just too sad, first her father dies, then her mother becomes greedy for power, then her younger brother gets sent to god knows where and finally the whole kingdom gets destroyed.
Praised be Shala
Martyr
Who sacrificed herself
to atone for her mother's sins
sacrificing herself
for her brother
for humanity
for love
for hope
Ah… good times when I left my SNES on for half an hour just to hear this song. Before the age of youtube and emulators.
Man, Chrono Trigger should’ve been included in the Super NES Classic! This video game was a fkn masterpiece! 🔥
But Marle only uses water magic tho!
She is secretly the avatar.
In the old covers and the first editions, the art was wrong, marle is shown using fire magic and lucca using water!
purple is the mixture of red and blue
blue is the color of ice, snow, the ocean and sky in art representations
red is the color of blood, passion, fire, anger, and so on
she's mastered both elements in previous concept art maybe
what does that have to do with this melody anyway?
This girl seemed like she knew what was happening and chose to allow Chrono (or Magnus, at least at first,) to choose instead, because to her forsight, she just plain didn't believe in herself.
i'm dream devouring
in all seriousness this is peak
this gaves eargasm
Ona lubi śnieg, a ja srednio
Utwór zmasakrowany
2023.06 already...will go on.
I just spent hundreds of hours 100%ing this game, maxing everyone's stats, getting every ending, best possible gear....was worth every minute. Dimensional Vortex was meh though.

Just so I know the rapper wiz khalifa sample this for a song called never been
Said she never been!!
MASTERPIECE

I've never played this before, but I heard it in the back of a video and it felt so familiar. Are there other games that have similar songs, or an older video I watched years ago which also had this song?
I'm betting it was the same song. Chrono Trigger is a cult classic, and this is one of the most beloved tracks from it (although just about every one is outstanding).
@@greensakana2673 now i wish i knew where i heard it from but that seems impossible

what on earth is up with what song UA-cam Music thinks this is, it says the original track in Japanese, but when you click on it it goes to some crazy rap song :Þ
Wiz Khalifa sampled this song and used it for one of his rap tracks, I remembering saying wtf at that information when I found it out.
I heard Kid Cudi did also.
[EDIT: Seems it was Wiz Khalifa, and I think I remember that being said then, now.]
@@drakonra25 not only this was sampled, he also sampled secret of the forest in the second part of the song that samples this theme.
Never been and never been part II are the songs that uses ct samples.

Could it be that “sandland,” is another important game as well? We should play to find out….
brent rambo like this
I love Schala she is a goddess imho. If fictional character like YHWH, Allah and other deities can be called such than someone as pure, gentle, open minded, and long suffering like Schala can be as such.
make sure you never forget our countless journeys
