Chrono Trigger is quite simply one of the finest games ever made and has received more positive reviews and accolades from critics than a Shoreshank redemption sequel starring the ghost of Heath Ledger. One aspect of the game that has been repeatedly noted by both fans and critics is the soundtrack, which is so iconic and so memorable that it actually has its own Wikipedia page which scientists assert is as popular as something can possible be. But did you know that the two hours of music we got out of the game literally almost killed the guy tasked with creating it?
Unannounced Chrono Trigger Formism figures were spotted at a 30th Anniversary concert, fueling renewed speculation following Square Enix’s earlier anniversary plans.
Square Enix reveals Chrono Trigger: Melodies That Resonate Across Time, an orchestral album featuring ten classic tracks performed at the 30th anniversary concert in Tokyo.
A remake or even a modern port would do since it is one of the best games all time. Can’t believe it’s been 30 years since I first played it
Yasunori Mitsuda is a talented composer I love the music both from Chrono Trigger, Xenogears. I will always enjoy Nobuo Uematsu as well. I would love to have seen the Chrono Trigger concert live.
Chrono Trigger’s 30th anniversary will be celebrated with a full orchestra concert in Tokyo on January 17–18, 2026.
Can you announce a Chrono Trigger remaster or something and stop pretending you don't have millions of people that would buy it day 1? Morons.
A pixel remaster would be most welcome, especially with the option to choose between the SNES and DS translations.
3 more years and Xenogears will be 30. I would love to see Chrono Trigger get the FFVII treatment.
thats not up to them unfortunately
the people who have ownership over toriyamas art style are very very stingy and difficult to work with
this is the reason why "gamers" need to be more informative about the details of game development. It's not easy task, but the attitude of gamers simply doesn't show they appreciate knowing the facts. They buy games to play and that's as far as it goes. Internet has become larger than ever, but they just spend most of their times looking at useless information.
And no ***** were given cause something as good would probably be composed.
tbh this was already well known if you just looked up Yausnori Mitsuda (amazing composer). I was surprised by his work in Kid Icarus Uprising
This article was hysterically funny XD
Pretty funny article. Amazing soundtrack.
