The ending theme always gets me. It's such a reassuring 'goodbye' song. This game means a whole lot to me. I was 5 when it came out here in the US and I'd watch my brother play it. When I got around to being old enough to play it, it really stuck with me. First game I beat, too, I believe. It's such a thoughtful, emotional experience.
If there is best singular JRPG it is called Chrono Trigger. Visually stunning, dramatically coherent, musically exquisite and made by team of best of the best of best just enjoying art of their work. They created a masterpiece. This musical piece is just the period at end of last phrase of every story: THE END.
MIDI was one of the things that made the SNES a musical powerhouse in the 16 bit era. So many amazing video games pieces came out at this time, and you can still enjoy the OST, or take the MIDI file and have fun experimenting with modern virtual instruments. Not to mention print out the music and have it played with real life instruments.
It was special 8-bit chip designed by Sony with eight tracks. Sega Genesis used commercially available six tracked sound chip. Not an expert, but Nintendo seems to have technically better sound chip.
@@vksasdgaming9472 - Sega had a fairly popular FM chip that was used in a lot of arcade games at the time. But yes, the super NES had more of a standard MIDI setup. This helps since the Super NES would have the basic set of standard MIDI instruments available, ready to interpret the MIDI music data that uses a very small amount of memory. Even today, if you create a song with modern virtual instruments, while the instruments can be several Gb the MIDI it reads the song information off of might be 5 - 100 KB.
@@vksasdgaming9472 - Sega had a decent FM sound chip that was used in many arcade games at the time. Yet it does show what advancements were made within a few years. For sound, SNES may have had an 8-bit chip, but was slightly under CD quality for the time. Afterall, Windows was still on 3.1, and it would be 3 years until Creative's Soundblaster AWE 32 would come out with soundfonts as we know them today. But MIDI was becoming standardized, and the SNES benefitted from that. For the console could hold the basic standard instrument bank that would interpret the MIDI files, along with any coding about effects or instrument patches.
@@JohnCrawford1979 Those chips are weird part of history. If I recall correctly SNES had exactly same CPU as NES had - MOS 6502. SNES came after Megadrive so naturally they could have slightly better machine. Both deserve respect.
@@vksasdgaming9472 - No, it did not 'exactly the same' CPU. That would be like saying an Intel i5 from 2017 is exactly the same as a current generation i5 in a brand new computer bought in 2024. Yes, they were made by Intell, and their both branded as i5, but there's 7 years of development between the two CPUs with a variety of bug fixes and enhancements. The NES MOS 6504, AKA Ricoh 2A03 and clocked in at 1.79 MHz. The SNES MOSS 6504 is the Ricoh 5A22, a superset of the 65C816 that was exclusively supplied to Nintendo. The CPU employs a variable clock speed that will reach up to 3.58 MHz during register operations and down to 1.79 MHz when accessing the slowest buses (i.e. the serial/controller port). For compatibility reasons, the CPU always starts in ‘emulation’ mode (pure 6502) and it’s up to the program to switch to a particular ‘native’ mode to enable 16-bit functionality. On a side note, it’s amusing how Intel’s x86 still applies the same modus operandi on their modern CPUs. Dropping out of tech jargon, basically, it was believed that at one time during development, Nintendo may have wanted to make the NES and Super NES compatible, however they also wanted an updated, 16-bit MOS. The MOS is no small fry, being that Apple, Atari, and Commodore used their chipsets in their legendary computer lines. But people ought not confuse the CPUs. 16-bit CPUs had been around since late 70's and early 80's, but the tech wasn't able to utilize it yet. This is similar to how the N64 had a 64-bit CPU, but no one saw it utilized since most games were developed on computers that ran 32 bit operating systems and game kits used to for development were 32 bit. It took until 2014 before any major development led to the full on adoption of 64 bit. Plus, some might argue that the 8 bit mode was meant for the Game Boy color.
Still rates as one of my favkrite game endings, knowing you saved countless lives (albeit the truth in Chrono Cross). Akira toriyama rip your legend will go on an cant wait to share this classic with my son.
I don't know why, but I'm going through a depressive episode that's worse than I want to admit to anyone and those in my life already think it's pretty severe... Yet this, this song has always given me hope.
@@GiuseppeD22 this reply caught my eye fairly fast. I'm feeling the worst of it is over now after a couple doctors' visits. Remember to reach out for those who wish you well. And thank you for the encouragement. From one user of the Internet to another, as you did for me, stay strong through whatever is ailing you as well.
This theme and visual end credit 'goodbye' roll do the opposite for me. It's beautiful but simultaneously terrifying. The terminal finality of it, the sheer scale of the world, time and space, how insignificant all these people's lives and their grand adventures become as you see them one last time waving goodbye. It makes you realize how meaningless all this is, that our lives are nothing but a tiny grain of sand on a vast and endless beach. There's beauty in it sure, but I can't shake the feeling of insignificance that is attached to it.
Cheers to everyone who searches this song by name because they know it - just to listen to it. I have many times just commenting now. Cheers to all my Chrono Trigger loving friends. edit: Corridors of Time too, but I've got that one on demand 1-click.

Started playing this game for the first time three weeks ago. Finished it yesterday. This ending trumps every ending ever made. I have now completed FF7, FF6 and Chrono Trigger. Where should I go next?
RIP Toriyama-san. Thank you for your art. They were gifts that will be treasured always
Rest in Peace, Akira Toriyama. And thank you.

I was just happy to finish the game and then this music caught me out of nowhere. The best way to finish a memorable video game.
Happy Birthday toriyama sensei because 5th April was his birthday

Holy hell the nostalgia hits HARD with this. One of my favorite games of all time. Thanks for uploading this. To Far Away (and better) Times
RIP, Akira Toriyama 😢
Finished this gem years ago. Incredible game.
This game is why I've loved space-time stories ever since I was a kid.
Rest in Peace Akira Toriyama 🕊❤
This is the perfect song to listen to on New Year's Eve
Thank you for this. I was 15 when it came out and played the hell out of it!
this song feels like home
This is a masterpiece, no matter the year. And no, those are not tears, THOSE ARE NOT TEARS !
Just beat the game a week ago, 30 hours well spent.
30 hours? It takes me roughly 18-20 hours to go through the game with a regular file
About 10 on new game+
