Star-Stealing Girl
Time's Scar
Another World
Prisoners of FATE
Radical Dreamers
Voyage
Plains of Time

and so on...

It not only has many motifs and allusions to Trigger, but goes ten steps beyond to create a soundtrack that's so ephemeral and otherworldly, like I just shut my eyes and can get so easily lost in it. As a kid, I didn't really care for any of it because it wasn't as big and brassy as the Final Fantasy (or even Xenogears) soundtracks.

Chrono Cross' soundtrack now, to me, though is really stellar.

I too enjoy the vocal backing track. It's very high-intensity but without being over-the-top.

Also, that's the song that plays when you fight the Time Devourer, right?

Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends
And watch the city spread out just like a jet's flame

Jellyfish Sea is so chill. Man, I'm gonna listen to that while I go to sleep tonight. It does a great job of sounding like its title.

yeah i was blown away when i first heard it

i'm kind of a sucker for guitar arrangements/covers of videogame soundtracks lol

if you like Chrono Trigger's music too, this is the most hauntingly beautiful rendition of To Far Away Times (which in and of itself is so hauntingly beautiful already) i've ever heard, and really of any rendition of any videogame song:

That was great too!

I love guitar versions of songs. Thank you for this.

Dead Sea -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ine3_jdQIIs


One of my favorite video game memories is as follows:

When you enter the Dead Sea. The combination of the music and all that build-up to actually getting in, then standing on the edge and looking out over the frozen waves and destroyed civilization was one of the most powerfully atmospheric moments in video games for me. I'll never forget it. Then traversing the place with that feeling of 'I'm really not supposed to be here' that I feel the game was so good at establishing. Then you end with the Miguel fight goddamn what a game
