COMPOSER reacts to 😲 CHRONO CROSS OST Time's Scar (Patreon Request) 

Fact

Good news is the remaster is coming out this year for chrono cross

Yes but the story is way to complicated.

the thing is, this was never meant to be a sequel or connected in any way to Chrono Trigger. I believe they change it at the very last moment and made the connection (thus had to change a lot of the premise and story). Its the usual case, where the creator wanted to make a new thing but the big boss was like : "you know what, why not make this a continuation to that popular series you made before?". Similar case can be said to Xenogears, where it was meant to be the FF7 before it was rejected by Squaresoft because it is "so not final fantasy" and was treated as a side project.

@@HenSt-gz7qj No, it was always meant to be a sequel to Chrono Trigger. Masato Kato wasn't happy with Radical Dreamers because of its rushed development and Chrono Cross was built from the ground up to be the sequel he ACTUALLY wanted.

It has two awesome tracks and convoluted storyline with so many characters that you don’t care for any of them other than 4.

I would never skip an opening if Chrono Cross had an anime and this was the op song

Yeah, for me there's only 2 games like that: Chrono Cross and Soul Blade.

Agreed. 💜

So what did you guys think of the direct?

@@SeraidenAF VERY happy and VERY excited for September. Oh and the remaster in April is nice

Uematsu was chief composer in CT if I recall correctly. He had too much in his hands by the time CC was in production so Mitsuda-san took over and they kept Uematsu as consultant.

@@thehumanpractice2985 Yes Uematsu was eyeing the project from afar, but also no, Mitsuda had a full say in this project due to other reasons. Check wikipedia or other sources. Mitsuda wanted to distinguish himself at that point in his life, and increase his pay, and he wanted Chrono trigger just for himself to prove his worth so he gave the company an ultimatum. Let him compose the ost or simply bye bye. It was his demand otherwise he would leave. They gave him the project, and told him that maybe if he finishes it he will get a better salary. And allowed him to make majority of songs by a landslide on CT, it was literally his project. And he did it amazingly well, even though he had insane mishaps like losing a huge amount of tracks made, due to a hardware drive failure. He ended up in hospital from the overtime and work he put into it, because he was a perfectionist and wanted to make it absolutely perfect (54 of his tracks made it to final release). Thats when Uematsu was called to finish the soundtrack with the later part of the tracks (10 of them) so they could release the game. A real odyssey of a project.

@@kobarsos82 Oooh yeah yeah, I got lores mixed up. I remember now. Videogame production is a real oddysey yeah

Remaster in April and Xenoblade 3 in September :)

Oh man, as an adult, I found the story way more interesting because I could understand the story and deeper themes way better. If you haven't yet, I recommend a playthrough.

The entire ost is a masterpiece.
