@Sam Griffin Guitar according to google translate it says that they enjoy the album and listen to it often, that it was a dream for them to listen to this soundtrack played on guitar. It won't let me copy/paste but that's the jist.
This album is really my favourite and I often listen to it on the way to the office. This album is like a dream come true for me as I always wished I could hear Chrono Cross’ songs played on the guitar.

Mitsuda himself linked me here which is just... sick. Anyway, I am so happy this is streamable now because I missed out on buying it. Will go stream the heck out of it. Thanks Sam!
Mitsuda is clearly a master of the guitar, you can hear how well his compositions translate to a real guitar with ease. the Chrono games, and some of the PS2 stuff he did is simply the most pleasing on the ear in VGM, Dark, melancholic, beautiful.. You and Steven are a treasure on UA-cam, I use your videos to help me through the day at work :)
Words can't describe how happy I am for you man, not to mention how incredible you are as a musician and a gamer who understands - truly understands - the spirit and magic behind the tunes you cover. Getting your work on major streaming services and having the ability to directly communicate with legends is...well, legendary, and you deserve it. Keep up the great work and WELL DONE 🤜🤛
I know what you mean. This tune touches something inside me that I don't know how to reach myself. The whole OST for this game hits kinda deep for me. It's not even my favorite game! (damn good game btw)
I really enjoyed every second of this wonderful arrangement! Two classical guitars is a lot of work, but it allows you to experiment many beautiful things!
Holyyyyyy shit, i'm SO glad this got a wide release! Your music is incredible, and it's amazing you got to work on such a special project. I'll be listening on repeat.
super happy for you sam, idk how you managed to complete this project without fan boying out of control and remaining professional. I would not have been able to handle it
Im so excited this is out of the paywall. When I heard the news you were making this, I was so excited. But man, that $200 bluray, made me so sad that such a beautiful project was going to be locked away from the general public was so dissapointing. I am ELATED to finally listen to this, and I will listen to it over and over again
hahahaha I remember that. I forget who said 'piracy is a symptom of failure in the market' but .. a populace willing to pay a 200 dollar blu-ray for a music album is a symptom of something really messed up about endemic asian obedience.
I wasn't able to grab this. I'm so happy to get to hear this. I love Chrono Trigger more as a game, but Chrono Cross is my favorite game soundtrack of all time. Or movie or TV. I love your arrangements and Yasunori Mitsuda and 12-string artists like Tommy Emmanueal and Leo Kottke. This is a total blessing. I'm literally weeping hearing this.
Oh man this hits hard! Chrono Chross was my very first jrpg way back in the day. Played it together with my first boyfriend. That young love did not last, but my love for the ost lasts 20+ years later. It's just magical stuff. How amazing that you got to consult with the man himself! Your cover is absolutely beautiful. Wish I had been able to buy the album to support you!
YESSSSSSSS! EVER SINCE YOU SAID YOU DID THIS ALBUM IVE BEEN WANTING TO HEAR IT BECAUSE I GREW UP WITH THIS GAME AND WAS ALWAYS TRYING TO AY THE INTRO ON GUITAR. WONDERFUL SAM! SORRY FOR YELLING IM SO EXCITED
My dude, you do my teenage years justice. I’m elated to see this after Arni Village being my first hill to tackle back in the day on guitar. It warms my old gamer soul to see these done so right
So happy to hear that you’re able to release this for streaming! I actually bought the album a year back to support you and Mitsuda, and because I’m a diehard Chrono Cross OST fan :) Keep doing what you’re doing!
It's awesome that this gets out to more people! I ordered the concert CD last year just so I could listen to your take on the Chrono Cross soundtrack (Mitsuda's work is _amazing_!) It's brought me a lot of joy, and I'm glad other people get to experience it too. :)
This is the greatest piece of music in any video game ever written. I am exceptionally proud of your achievement as I have witnessed the growth of your recording potential and your arrangement composition. The impeccable coordination with Yasunori-sensei has cultivated a product that is at its highest level and for that, every honor and privilege should be afforded onto you. This iconic and revolutionary piece of music is the very best arrangement you have ever made and I say that with high confidence. If anything should make people more upset is that you may never again top this as being the highest honor, most precise work effort, and clear presentation of professionalism that could be seen on this channel. I hope that is not true, but I expect it will prove to be so. Congratulations Sam. As you move into a golden age of awesomeness I am honored to call you friend and I appreciate your growth and development into being absolutely better every day while always reaching higher. -freedomjoe
The entire album is outstanding! I really don't think a better job could be done capturing the feel and impact of the original songs and game any better, my man. Gaea's Navel is just f'kn insane!
With tears in my eyes, I just want to express my appreciation to you for sharing this with us. Many a people can play music, few are born for it. I believe you were placed in this world to bring emotion to life through your melodies. Thank you so much for all the work you do. I'm a huge fan of all of it
It took me 15 seconds to add it to my favorite albums on Spotify, and radical dreamers is one of my favorite songs period. I can't even tell you the feelings that washed over me listening to this! I need this salve, thank you!
This is the version that you hear in the PS4 preorder theme bonus for Chrono Cross! Thank you for the lovely arrangement. It makes me sad that the PS5 can't use themes from our PS4.
This is so sooo beautiful. The chrono series is my absolute favorite and holds a very special place in my heart. yasunori mitsuda has always been one of my favorite composers ever. You did an amazing job on this.
I can't count the amount of plays I've given this song from the OST, and your performance was spellbinding. I even studied some of your riff technique to improve my own playing. I'll definitely say that when you made the slides to the 7th fret (during the bridge or whatever you might call the brief Bm excursion near the end), it definitely departed from all the crappy online tabs I've ever studied. Thanks for this upload, and keep achieving excellence!
I was so dissapointed I couldn't import the music from Japan, which was sold out when I first heard about the album. It's an amazing monday morning, finding out there's a Chrono Cross remaster that just released (I had no idea!) and that I can finally listen to my favourite videogame cover youtuber playing my favourite video game OST ever. I just finished listening to the whole album. Masterpiece. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us.
Boy, I must confess I had never heard this theme before, and... Let's just say I understand why you praise it the way you do. This must have been a blast to work on. Thank you so much for sharing this with us
This song has a special place in my heart since the first time I listened to it (yes, I grew up playing games with soundtracks composed by Yasunori Mitsuda). Thanks for taking this classic to the next level. Really love your stuff! Now I have a chance to learn it by looking at your music video!
This whole thing is incredible. But I also like the little changes you tossed in that are subtle. Like around 3:00, guitar on the left is tossing in some harmony into that riff. It's very tastefully done.
My favorite moment includes when your right guitar side does the really fancy scales and harmonies 4:50-5:37 it's just sooooo good! Will you ever do a video showing yourself playing Time's Scar? These are just too amazing!
This song is amazing...but can we take a second to talk about how LEGIT AF YOUR COVER OF WHIRLWIND IS ON THIS ALBUM!? Like....so many struggle with that time signature. But your cover is spot on!
Chrono Cross is one of the most important games in my life.. And a big part of that is the music. And you have encapsulated that perfectly. This game and the music reminds me of my childhood and staying home alone for the first time ever (With an older sibling). Playing through Fort Dragonia and just having a great time with this game.. Ahh the Memories.
Really incredible, Sam. It was an honor to have you on ArvCon a few years back (maybe we can have you back sometime?), and somehow you've gotten even better over the years. Just spectacular work. Congratulations on everything.
you're one of my favorite degenerates out there bud ;) Congratulations on yet another beautiful bit. it's been amazing to see your talents grow over these years and wish you continued success on both solo and SGB projects. (miss you guys!)
HOLY SH!T BRO! I can't believe it!! WOW! I mean, a few years ago I was just asking you on Patreon to cover National Park from Pokemon Silver/Gold (which you haven't done yet lol) and you worked on "Our Cerulean Skies"!? JESUS CHRIST!! Just saying congratulations isn't enough, I don't even know what to say! This is beyond amazing!!
Everything about this is just pretty frickin' sweet, and also radical
Yo Smoooth thanks!
The two chads of gaming music
Good to see you are still alive and enjoying Sams music!
Radical to see you're a fan Smooth! Enjoying your new songs as well. Stay healthy bro!
Yasunori mitsuda did some of the most beautiful tracks im videogames. Even 25 years later they still the best
Pre 2k music were the best
このアルバム本当にお気に入りで出先でよく聴いてます。クロノクロスの曲をギターで聴いてみたいとずっと思っていた私には夢のようなアルバムだった…
I don't know what this says but I like it
@@SamGriffinGuitar Moving shiz brah, sounds like a dream. Essentially. I agree, brilliant work dude.

Ayo rain! thanks man : )
Dang bruv there were some sick runs in there
Oh stop it you absolute lord
@@SamGriffinGuitar Sam, "Whirlwind" is metal AF! Really impressive arrangement and performance
Mitsuda himself linked me here which is just... sick. Anyway, I am so happy this is streamable now because I missed out on buying it. Will go stream the heck out of it. Thanks Sam!
Each time somebody plays this song, the world becomes better.
This made me cry instantly, I miss my youth, wish I could do it all again someday
You said it, man... I feel the same way.
Mitsuda is clearly a master of the guitar, you can hear how well his compositions translate to a real guitar with ease.

To me, Chrono Cross have the most beautiful OST of ALL TIME, and you Sam do amazing job here, like always, thank you !
This music touches my very soul. To hear it arranged in a unique, skillful, and spiritual way makes my heart simply sing. Thank you!
I know what you mean. This tune touches something inside me that I don't know how to reach myself. The whole OST for this game hits kinda deep for me. It's not even my favorite game! (damn good game btw)

Thx Dan : )
Man.. Got tears in my eyes. You were born to do this, Sam! Congratulations.
This is incredible news, my favorite guitar player playing my favorite compositions to play through my player speakers…much amaze
5:32 This little run you just nailed absolutely flawlessly.
Bought back some good memories. From simpler times.
Holyyyyyy shit, i'm SO glad this got a wide release! Your music is incredible, and it's amazing you got to work on such a special project. I'll be listening on repeat.
Amazing! Chrono Cross has one of the best soundtracks of any game. Love it.
When an arrangement and a rendering reach the pinnacle of SICKness. I could listen to it all day.
Yay big news Sam. Happy for you, and happy for me as I get to listen to this finally. Chrono Cross OST the GOAT
Truly sick. Gave me chills bruh. Congrats, Sam and Joe. You two are amazing.
I saw Squeenix tweet about this album and definitely geeked out a little bit. They def chose the best man for the job, haha. Congrats man!
super happy for you sam, idk how you managed to complete this project without fan boying out of control and remaining professional. I would not have been able to handle it

I fricking love that Theme. I really like to hear the Cosmosky Orchestra Version. You did a wonderfull Job !
You're the best at these covers. I love Chrono Cross and your music. I look forward too chilling out too your amazing work.
This song makes me wanna cry. So beautiful.
This is a great album, I was really sad that I couldn't listen to it before so this is a dream come true.
Wonderful. It really is one of the best compositions ever made for a videogame and for the entire music!
I wasn't able to grab this. I'm so happy to get to hear this. I love Chrono Trigger more as a game, but Chrono Cross is my favorite game soundtrack of all time. Or movie or TV.
I love your arrangements and Yasunori Mitsuda and 12-string artists like Tommy Emmanueal and Leo Kottke.
This is a total blessing. I'm literally weeping hearing this.
My friend literally cried when i made him listen to this. So many memories of us playing Mitsuda's music when we were kids. Amazing work!
Oh man this hits hard! Chrono Chross was my very first jrpg way back in the day. Played it together with my first boyfriend.

Getting the legend himself to recognize your guitar and have you perform them speaks volumes of your ability. 😁
My dude, you do my teenage years justice. I’m elated to see this after Arni Village being my first hill to tackle back in the day on guitar. It warms my old gamer soul to see these done so right
You have both impeccable taste and timing. Stoked to stream the album
Greatest video game song of all time. Yeah. Straight up. Congrats on the amazing job this was!
I've been listening to the album all week now ♥ AMAZING
I love the light/dark outfit choice, Sam. I'm glad I snagged that blu-ray up when I did. Sweet arrangement, bro.
You have no idea how excited I am to be able to listen to this! Thanks, Sam! Love you, bro!
Those ending harmonics!
So happy to hear that you’re able to release this for streaming! I actually bought the album a year back to support you and Mitsuda, and because I’m a diehard Chrono Cross OST fan :) Keep doing what you’re doing!
クラシックギターの音って、柔らかくて深みがあって大好き。ちょっと物悲しい、哀愁感じる楽曲と相性いいのかな?この動画、大好きです。いい音だわぁ〜
It's awesome that this gets out to more people! I ordered the concert CD last year just so I could listen to your take on the Chrono Cross soundtrack (Mitsuda's work is _amazing_!) It's brought me a lot of joy, and I'm glad other people get to experience it too. :)

Thanks I really had a fun time with that one in particular!
Magnífico.. Obrigado mestre Yasunori Mitsuda... Esta trilha de Chrono Cross está marcada pra sempre no meu coração...

I believe you were placed in this world to bring emotion to life through your melodies. Thank you so much for all the work you do. I'm a huge fan of all of it
Thank you for covering this, Chrono Cross has always been my top favorite JRPG and part of my childhood. This is the best cover so far.

This is so sooo beautiful. The chrono series is my absolute favorite and holds a very special place in my heart. yasunori mitsuda has always been one of my favorite composers ever. You did an amazing job on this.

Taught myself this song a long time ago. Struggled with it for a good while. I didn't think anyone could do it justice. Well played, sir.
Never know, you made this album. Thanks for mention it, I heard in on Spotify the last few days and it really sound beautiful. Well done.

It’s so good man. What an opportunity. Just got chance to hear it after I bought the MP3 of the 20th anniversary concert. Also mindblowingly good.

Congrats on this insane project dude guy. Glad the whole world can enjoy the album, ourselves included!

I've never heard a cover of this piece before, but it's always been one of my favorites from Mitsuda.
The best game OST ever!
Really incredible, Sam. It was an honor to have you on ArvCon a few years back (maybe we can have you back sometime?), and somehow you've gotten even better over the years. Just spectacular work. Congratulations on everything.

Absolutely gorgeous. The music I mean. You're okay too dude, don't worry!
