This is "Corridors of Time" from Chrono Trigger, another brilliant track from what is quite possibly the best soundtrack of any video game. Composed by Yasunori Mitsuda. Click on the HD version for higher quality sound.
I actually found a lot of untranslated interviews with Akira and he shared with the world he believed life is an endless dream, that’s why he always kept his work going and going, a nonstop action adventure inside an endless adventure, it gives meaning and uniqueness. I believe we’ll see him again one day and many more adventures will continue too.
@@pentexsucks43 He never wrote this game nor did he compose it his efforts it just being and artist you should also appreciate Yuji Horii and the others writers work on this game
RIP Akira. I hope you get to experience everything you've done in this world through other perspective and see how well loved you were. You saved many people with your worlds and I'm one of them. I hope this message reaches you and resonates with other people to you.
look yall i know it feels bad to lose someone like him but coping by making up some random afterlife crap isn't gonna change that. he's dead, and i'm sad too, but let's not start getting delusional here please.
@@greenytoaster Lol, you're clearly ignorant to anything remotely spiritual and have no experience. Atheism is just as dumb as blind faith - you're no better than someone servile to a religion. Without firsthand experience, you really can't be anything more than an agnostic at best regarding anything you can make no logical conclusions over outside of experiencing directly. Just say you're depressed and lonely and antisocial and move on.
Bruh, this needs to be heard IN-GAME for the first time for the full impact. Travel to Antiquity, desolate icy land, enter a cave, get transported above the clouds onto floating islands, and THIS music plays. Like, WOW.
You hear this for the first time when you make the Masamune with Melchior. That is also a cool moment. I always liked when you get to the floating islands, because its so sudden. The game grabs you from the prehistoric era and throws you into Antiquity.
Toriyama San! We’ll all miss u! You inspired so many kids that became adults with ur works , we were all on this journey with u….thank you for , all u gave. 😢
Checkpoint: 3-8-2024 My life has been fine so far for college. While I ace almost every class, I was saddened to hear the death of Akira Toriyama. I was introduced to the Chrono Trigger and Dragon Quest series thanks to him. Thank you for everything you have done for Chrono Trigger, Dragon Quest, Dragon Ball, Dr. Slump and your other works. May you rest in peace.
Rest in. Peace to the ACTUAL 🐐 of anime, his influence goes beyond anime,beyond gaming. I have so much love,respect and appreciation for everything you have gifted us. My heaven welcome you warmly 🥲❤️ Rest Up, Akira Toriyama 🕊️
I had the DS version of the game as a kid. My parents loved the game and got the DS version to let me play. I don't even remember how old I was but I remember being mesmerized by Zeal. The entire stretch from Zeal to the endgame is so fantastic and I wish I could relive it with no memory of it.
Yeah same here i wish i could somehow reset my brain memory and relive certain amazing things in life, like this gaming masterpiece and it's breathtaking music...
Just wait a few years. You may remember things before they happen in the game, but filling your brain with all the stuff, games and not, that will come in a few years' time will be as close to playing it again for the first time as you can get.
Yasunori Mitsuda likely set out just to create a track that captured the feeling of a mystical foreign land but this is SO much more than that. This song is so layered, it's insane that he did this on the SNES, and even crazier that it's one of many other excellent songs. Most diehard fans know but a lot of people think Uematsu did most of the OST but he's responsible for very little of it. Not to take anything away from Uematsu but for Chrono Trigger and Cross as well as the Xenoblade games Mitsuda deserves to be recognized to the same degree.
Do we really know which parts of the OST were made by Uematsu and which by Mitsuda? To be honest, the majority of the soundtrack sounds extremely Uematsu-like to me. I've seen a tracklist with credits given to each song but I can't imagine Mitsuda created that many tracks without Uematsu's help. Even the Mitsuda songs have the typical patterns of Uematu's works from that era.
@@raisie6334 Mituda and Uematsu both have diffrent music style and its not hard to quess who made what track. And also there is 3 composer who made few tracks.
@@raisie6334 Mitsuda was the main composer of the game from the start. Uematsu only came in towards the end because Mitsuda was hospitalized for stomach ulcers, so Uematsu composed ten songs they needed to finish off the ost.
The theme of a doomed utopia...this music will never fail to haunt me with its beauty. With its inevitable tragedy. It's gorgeous. And it's sad. And it's wonderful. Thank you, Yasunori Mitsuda. Absolutely legendary. Never forget Zeal Kingdom...its glory. Its folly. Its wonder. Its travesty. Its majestic rise and its catastrophic fall. Never forget...
This brings back so many memories. I can attest to Akira Toriyamas works as being the spark that led to what I have and am now. Influential is an understatement. Thank you sensei and rest in peace.
as im replaying this game now, i never would have expected his passing at this time.... RIP akria toriyama, idk if i would have ever been the same artist if not for the influence your characters in DBZ or CT had on me. a sad loss, rest in peace good sir.
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! Checkpoint (2): Today I come here to update you on the fortress I needed to build to kick the addiction to lust and the desperation of other people's attention. In December/2022 I moved to the south of Brazil to work what I always dreamed of (to the envy of many, sic!) and I was very happy, even after sleeping on the street, going hungry and crying every day and every day. hours (except when I was working, right? lol.) Anyway, I survived... I went, I lived, I won... And I came back... Safer and healthier; safe from myself, safe from my demons, the ones I allowed to be free! So, I woke up... Today, I'm going to travel again, to somewhere else, but I'm thinking more about my family, who took care of me and who was and will continue to be a mere supporting character in my story of time! THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO WAS IN THE COMMENTS, I READ THEM ALL AND I WAS EXCITED BY EVERYONE, because every time I came back here, I reflected in some different way :) And, wow... How many people in the same situation, right? And I, who felt alone... Thank you all. *samam.
A melody that simply sticks with you. Played Chrono Trigger for the first time a few months ago and there hasn't been a day without this melody in my head ever since!
The first time I played this game was on my Nintendo DS. What a magical summer that was. I left no stone unturned, finished all secret bosses and everything. Masterpiece of a game.
Checkpoint: 21, been listening to chrono triggers ost for a year before bed usually. I finally started playing it today! It’s so fun I couldn’t put it down once I started. I’m excited to see this comment years from now.
Best song on my favorite video game OST. I’m 39 now, first played this fame when I was 19, and for 20 years now I’ve been whistling that bell melody that opens the song just at random moments in my life.
Not only is this soundtrack beautiful but so is Akira Toriyama's artwork on this title screen. In combination they are both so nostalgic and warm feeling
Ik it hits so weird seeing his old artstyle In something that's not DBZ I know that he has other manga but it's in his newer lanky character style that I don't really like
Never played the game I was too young to grow up with it, but this song resonates with me dude. Feels like I’m floating. Reminds me of old school Pokémon mystery dungeon shit, like temple of time. It’s got that same instrument, not sure what it is but it’s beautiful. The synths bring it all together as well, so good.
I listen to this whenever the night sky clears up. I live in a region, that dictates strict darkness after a certain time. Isn‘t it gorgeous, that the universe made this, then listened to it a million times over?
Whats interesting is: I didn't grow up playing this game and i have no nostalgia played it first time ever like maybe 10 years ago? and after that i was like WOAH this is a good game i can see why people love this game.
this right here is one of the best songs of all time in gaming history, is a masterpiece, and that's saying a lot since this song come from a game with excelent ost, just wow
imo the best video game song ever created. it just encapsulates a magical moment in this game i never had in the way i had here. this song feels so majestic and has a feel of depth in it, while being incredibly calm and melodic. theres no song like that and i think there will never be. mitsuda made something special with limited hardware which couldnt be reproduced even if someone would try to
The version from the arranged albums “to far away times” and “brink of time” have my favorite versions of this song, but it’s always good to go back and appreciate the original.
Thank you so much. Nearly every version of this on RU-vid must come from either a post-SNES/Super Famicom version or from some oddball MIDI re-creation back in the day, because they all have a change at *0:49* where the melody line repeats a note with no dynamic variation. This is the first and only version I've found that's actually the tune I remember.
I had just beaten Magus one evening my first time, was completely mesmerized by it and continued playing, and kept going and kept going. It was around just after midnight and I made it to antiquity. The magic of this music was improved tenfold by being absolutely exhausted. I don’t remember if I even slept that night.
I hear a little bit of this track every time I play one of the old Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Games... It feels good to be sent back in time for a while. 💕
This is a perfect song for this game. It just feels like a song that would match a game about travelling through time to defeat an ultimate evil. It gives off this feeling that your nostalgic but you don't exactly know why, that your just drifting through memories.
