Chrono Cross

Year: 1999
By: Yasunori Mitsuda

Chrono Cross proved to be a controversial sequel to Chrono Trigger, one of the most acclaimed RPGs for the SNES. As Squaresoft achieved the translation to 3D realms with Final Fantasy VII, it didn’t manage to do the same with its short-lived Chrono series. Admittedly, Chrono Cross went for a more dramatic tone than its predecessor, a battle system that failed to convince players, and a somewhat confusing plot tied to an obscure Satellaview text-adventure game from 1996: Radical Dreamers. Redeeming qualities include its beautiful environments, overarching sense of dread and nostalgia, and of course, its soundtrack.

Yasunori Mitsuda was still relatively new at the time ; Chrono Trigger was his first soundtrack, and even then he was so overwhelmed by the daunting task that he ended up plagued by ulcers, needing the help of Nobuo Uematsu to complete the job. Chrono Cross feels more personal somehow — leaving the limited capabilities of the SNES allowed Mitsuda to introduce realistic-sounding guitars, piano, violins, flutes, as well as bagpipes, mouth harps, giving it a “worldwide“ flair.

Best picks

Chrono Cross - Scars of Time
On the Beach of Dreams - Another World
Termina - Another World
Voyage - Another World
Radical Dreamers - Unstolen Jewel

Ah, why not!? Have some trippy #music from Cambodia. Well OK, they're based in the US, but the style is pure 60s/70s Cambodian psychedelic #rock.
This is Dengue Fever with One Thousand Tears of a Tarantula. The band supports various music charities. Due to many musicians, writers, film makers, intellectuals, and minorities being killed during the Khmer Rouge genocide, music had to start from square one, which has luckily proved successful.
