Gorgeous way to close the year, and you're absolutely right about the diminished chords and Christmas -- someone remarked to me recently that the best Christmas songs are melancholy and sad, inviting us to travel through a time lost to us today. Makes perfect sense for Chrono Cross. (Here's to a remake in the DQ11 engine that successfully reconciles the Dragoon and the Kid sides of the endgame together... :p :p) Edit P.S. -- are you going to VGMCon this spring by chance?
This is absolutely stunning, @purpleschala. I have always loved this piece and this arrangement is beautiful. What a perfect way to wrap up the year. Thanks for being one of my favorite VGM artists once again in 2024 🙂
I'll never get tired of hearing Schala's Chrono cross music, even after another 20 years. I really appreciate how much of yourself you put into your performances, even when it's someone else's arrangement. such a chill rendition of an already pretty chill ost. kind of gives me Amaurot vibes. Great job as always schala! 👏👏👏
I started listening to this before reading you write-up, and I thought I it was my crazy, Christmas-loving self imagining Christmas vibes. I’m glad I’m not the only one. Beautiful as always and Merry Christmas!
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! for my part i'm actually glad you and others think it's get a total Christmasy feel too lol!!! Thank you so much Jen and hope you and your family are having a lovely holiday!!!!
Today is the last Saturday I have to work until Fall 2025 and it's a slow day. This is fantastic! I appreciate your expressive dynamics and emotive pacing throughout. Thank you for sharing! 💜
oh man hope you get off work soon and get to enjoying your holiday break!!!!! Thank you so much for listening and the kind comments, that means a lot!!!! =) I really like how the arrangement was written in such a way to optimize that sort of stylistic romantic expression hahahaha!
Beautiful interpretation, sitting in an airport trying to get back home and the noise of everything else melted away for a moment to listen to this. Thank you!
omggg Shea i pray that you were able to get home safe and sound and weren't caught up in that nasty east coast weather as my husband was stuck at the airport all day yesterday trying to get out!!!!!! absolute nightmare!!!!! 😂😂 (and thank you so much!!! it's an incredible arrangement isnt it??)
@purpleschala we made it safely eventually, but it was a looooong day! It felt so good to not travel today 😂 I hope your husband was also able to get unstuck!
Beautiful playing as always. Practically everything on the Chrono Cross OST is sonic ambrosia, and you never fail to do it justice. Also I wanna say that I find very charming the contrast between the super serious game face you wear in your videos, and the totally informal tone you always use in your comment replies.
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! everybody says that omg in real life my friends will see me perform and be like it is SO WEIRD to see you so serious when you're playing piano, i guess when i lock in, i lock in lol. thank you so much!!!!
First! And absolutely lovely rendition, as always! I love rediscovering old OSTs through your arrangements and performances! I hope you and your family had a lovely Christmas and are settling into a lovely new year! Much love for you! ❤
Very beautiful performance as always! I really have to play this game one day, I know the soundtrack so much that I might as well get to know the rest of the game too haha. And happy Holidays btw! Looking forward to reading about your 2024 games!
Absolutely LOVELY arrangement and playing, can definitely feel those christmas-y vibes lmao. Looking forward to your 2024 ranking/reviews, and I hope you had/are having the nicest holidays! :)
