Anyone who hasn't played and beaten this game is missing out on a real treat. I beat it last year. It's hands down my favorite JRPG.
mikenike684
What? No. Getting Magus is only about half of the game...
Couldn't agree more with you, Koolgool.
I've beaten this game several times now. Once when I was much younger and the rest when I was older. It just never gets old and the story is incredible.
has it aged well
Drawoh dot Hell yes. One of the best games ever made. Pretty much perfect in every way. To this day, I don't think I've come across a game that had more love put into it than Chrono Trigger. If you are even remotely a fan of JRPG's, you owe it to yourself to play this. The defining title in the genre.
I remember my first time playing CT. Seems just like yesterday, when it was actually just under ten years ago. Now I see more people are still getting to experience it for the first time. That's when you know a game is timeless (pun only slightly intended).
"This is the eternal kingdom of Zeal, where dreams can come true. But at what price?"
Kuwaneku the catch in that statement...
Lavos destroying the world
"Am I a butterfly dreaming I'm a man? Or a bowling ball dreaming I'm a plate of sashimi?"
Pretty faustian
The black omen is shining brightly today.
The crazy bit is. I remember when this video came out and being so excited that you did a cover of Chrono Trigger. And here I am. Almost 10 years older and my how everything has changed. I still love you rendition no matter how different of a person I am now
hell yeah brother
I'm over 25 years older and still play the music for my kids and play from. Time to time on my snes classic. Amazing game
Chrono Trigger is the most beautiful game I have ever played, the atmosphere and story is amazing, I almost teared up when I heard this.. ah, those were the days... :,D
ᛏ ᛋ ᚦ ᚢ ᛟ ᚱ and the music most of all :,)
Only next to ff tactics IMHO :)
@@esso0527 only next to chrono cross IMHO ;)
Final Fantasy VI would like a word
FFVI and 7 would like a word, but hey, they're all made by Square :)
Arriving in and exploring zeal is one of the coolest parts of the game in my opinion.
Agreed
I didn't really care for zeal for some reason... at least not at the time. Not high enough energy. I think I'm starting to like it more now that I'm about 20 years older though.
xelink 12,000 B.C. is so awesome in that game, especially when you first enter and it appears to be nothing more than a snow-covered world... Until you travel up to Zeal.
Discovering the floating kingdom of Zeal for the first time remains one of my "Top 3 Greatest Gaming Moments of All Time" to this day.
67tedward Agreed. I have no idea how many hours I spent just to hear the music.
I listed to this when i was 14 years old. Every few years i come back amd rewatch. Im turning 25 soon.
This is the one track from this game that completely floored me. Not just the music itself, but the context in which it's presented. You're sent to a icy wasteland and then suddenly surprised by a sunny Shangri-la/Atlantis like paradise with this track to bring home that point.
Holy shit I wanna cry.
I was lucky enough to play this game when it came out... the music always had an impact. I’m nearing 40 and nothing has changed! I love CT.
Wh-... When did this come out? I have an actual phobia of watching/playing something that isn't relatively recent.
@@spectrosinjkai6973 1995. But Chrono Trigger is timeless. Massive replay value, and the musical score is second to none.
My uncle's and I used to play this everyday after school when it came out. Now everyone has their own family's including me but this is just a beautiful walk down memory lane for me
Today's release of Schala's theme brought me here for nostalgia....Corridors of Time, Schala and Magus' theme are my favorites in the entire game. I've got a thing for Zeal, evidently
I mean, who doesn't?
All three are objectively brilliant pieces of music.
I love how he always looks happy in his videos. People tend to make fun of video game music or at least not take it seriously but for me it brings back very happy memories and nostalgia. Songs done like this just make me smile and be in a better place instantly. Thanks and well done Smooth McGroove.
Agree (y)
Agree ( . Y . )
Not to mention the fact that video game soundtrack is indeed something really serious. I mean... someone came up with something that would make you fell however you feel. And to do that the composer used apropriate techniques and experience he got through years studying and practicing music.
I am a musician and I don't have any idea on how to achieve this or that atmosphere for a given scenario...
=)
I imagine it's a lot like a movie. Sure, the actors might suck and the plot could be terrible, but the one thing that is SUREFIRE to set the mood is the music. In this case, the music is icing on the cake.
It was actually THIS particular video, some years ago that really made me realize Smooth here wasn't just making vids to nod the head to but really engraving a piece of his soul onto em. Hell..one cant HELP but smile...even if the melancholy memories of years gone by come flodding back in.
I’m Japanese and I’m a big fan of chrono trigger.
I’ve got so impressed! You’re awesome!!
This game is actually close to my heart. It's the game that my dad told me to play. I remember playing it day and night.
I'll run to him whenever i need help or I'd I'm stuck. He taught me triple combo and other triple techniques. He reminisce how he plays it with his friends and how hard it is to beat back then cause there's no net.
Now I rarely see my dad. He left home.. He left us and this reminss me of how close we are before..
Sorry got sentimental..
Thanks for sharing, hope you guys find a way to reconnect man
@@jorgerodriguera6890 come here man, dont cry in front of mexicans...
すごい!感動しました。素敵な音楽をありがとう!!
神だよな!この方!
As someone who generally hates JRPGs, I loved Chrono Trigger. It's a brisk 20-25 hour game that doesn't waste your time with needless grinding and has an amazing story.
I'd have given anything to live in Enhasa. Gotta be one of the coolest environments in any rpg. Just beautiful...
before it falls out of the sky n shit.
+Masteroak i agree so much! favorite part
The name is kewl too...Enhasa
yesssssss
+Fungorrr SPOILER ALERT! :P
Its so great, because its the only time in the game that Masato Kato had full control of.
This track is so good I wish I had played the game when I was still a child so that the nostalgia would be overwhelming today. Too bad it was ahead of my time.
Your a smart person for realizing this and already steps ahead of the lost generation. Play this game and make it your own. It will always be in your heart afterwards.
Munzu The power of art is that it outlives generations. Just as you can enjoy Dickens or Virgil today, and make them part of your life, you can do too with videogames made before your time.
+Munzu You can still play it....
***** As a matter of fact, I am and I'm glad. Just saying that I won't experience the kind of nostalgia as somebody, who played it as a child, would.
Munzu Ah. Also Nostalgia is typically a bad thing. Its the primary emotion used in propaganda. Just something to keep in mind. I'm amazed that I played it only a few years ago and then, and now, feel its a work of art. Knowing its NOT nostalgia that fuels my love of the game is a great feeling.
口笛が綺麗すぎる
美しい
Man its really cool how you can hear the harmonies so well here :D still to this day one of the most unique sounding harmonies ive ever heard. Unreal how the composer was so young ^__^
I seriously can't stop tearing up while listening to this. It's truly beautiful.
...but you're still hungry
woow your comment was on my birthday! and this my favorite game theme lol
dude. seriously. a tear just dropped out of my left eye lololololol
I have to admit, it's really one of my favorites. Both the original and this acapella version.
I found a Junpei, wow
My childhood....Every time I hear this song...
I'm back on my reserve. Trying to understand English and trying my damndest to read this stuff and figure out the game...
;-;
Thank you for giving me this moment in time back, Smooth McGroove.
Reserve as in native american reservation?
Yup.
Oh cool. What tribe did you belong to?
Ojibway.
Interesting. I have some Cherokee, Cree, and Catawba genes in myself.
When I first heard this I think my soul cried.
I love undersea palace too
@@papuanine4729 this undersea palace and schala's theme. and a ton of chrono cross songs do that for me
@@ryogto me too, yasunori mitsuda's pieces are the most heartfelt i've heard
He also has excellent taste in classic memorable 90's games. : )
Agreed. He simply has taste. In music and arrangement alike.
Indeed.
I don't think chrono trigger is ever gonna feel old
I'm playing it now for the first time and it looks and sounds amazing
Smooth this is still one of my favorite acapellas you have made this and the wandering flame from ffx. The depth and range of your voice is outstanding.
This...is...so...PERFECT! The whistling, the snapping, the clapping...I LOVE IT SO MUCH!
My favorite cover by him
Every time I hear this track, I feel at peace...
I seriously need to play this game... I haven't ever played it and it STILL gives me nostalgia of when I used to sit around all day just playing by gameboy with the headphones plugged in...
Kingwut117 They have it on android, so now's your chance.
I use a windows phone tho O_o
Well damn...uh...borrow a friend's phone or something?
FreedomIII Or just... Download an emulator... It works so much better on PC than on a phone...
Kingwut117 Or You have a Nintendo DS or a Playstation
Cara!!!! eu não sei nem descrever como essa soundtrack acapella é tão boa!!!!!! já escutei e escuto milhôes e milhões de vezes e não me canso de escutar!!! Que melodia!!!!! Meus ouvidos lhe agradecem!!!!!!
Likely my favourite by McGroove. Amazingly well done. Subscribed :)
good god this is epic
it's lovely knowing people like you exist out there in the world
absolute magician of the highest tier, you are!
This was the song that actually led me to your channel Smooth. The song that got me to subscribe. Here it is almost 3 years later and Im still listening to it and loving it.
凄い技術と再現度に驚愕です。
one of the few songs i could never get tired of listening to
I watched a speed run of Chrono Trigger the other day and I forgot just how amazing it was. They don't make games like this anymore.
damn right they don't.the music,the game play,games this good aren't made anymore for the consoles
they really don't, do they ? It's sad... We were supposed to get a 3rd game to finally wrap up the series, but that got cancelled after like 3 or 4 years of nothing.
感動の一言に尽きます。
素晴らしいです。
Still a banger!
This specific Video was the reason, I bought the game back then. 10/10 would buy again.
I think one of the best things about these videos is how happy Smooth is doing them. He looks like he's having a blast in every video.
this is always going to be my favorite one! Smooth McGroove i mean besides the fact that you did this beautifully, the way you snap your fingers and continuously whistle is just amazing!
I played this game almost 15 years ago, and it was just by coincidence, just searching for good rpg games, and then, this masterpiece appeared, the moment when you enter the Zeal kingdom and this song hits... man.... just wonderful.
zeal makes me cry instantly :(
powerful
truly. also not to be annoying, but 2nd like on a verified comment. 3 months after too
I swear this guy could sing sirens to their doom out of the water
This was the first one I heard for me, and man, what a first impression of your work!
Who are you calling a bum?!
+Danny Dolan This made me laugh more than it should have
I played this game when I was at university in the early 2000's. Couldn't believe 24 years have already passed by... Anyway, this was one of my best JRPGS together with FF7, FF8 and FFX and legend of dragoon. Many memories and emotions. You are a MAGUS ;-) Epic work!
So amazing!
i used to leave my snes on through out the night sleeping to this tune!
excellent game, excellent song, excellent acapella cover!
please, do Frog Theme *-*
+NETRIPS YEEEEEEEEEESSSSS!!!
I second this.
Smooth... Please....
Or Guardia Castle theme
Yes, please, I'm still waiting in anticipation for this theme from Smooth
I'd like to request the entire OST please :D
Jonathan Isenhour I know, right! It's like his voice and talent are made perfectly to make the soundtrack!
MediaTube I would definitely pay good money for a full soundtrack of Chrono Trigger done by him!!
+Jonathan Isenhour you're right all the songs of this game are awesome^^
yes yes ues!!!
How would Ruined World sound in acapella??? :O :O :O
This is so wholesome. 😌
きれいな歌声や技術に感動しました。
猫も可愛い。
素晴らしい動画をありがとう。
日本語でごめんなさい。
わかります。定期的に見たくなりますよね。2年前のコメントにこめんとしてすみません。素晴らしい動画。
(英訳) The beautiful voice, his excellent technique, really moved me. Also the cat is rather cute. I truly thank you for this video.
Sorry bout writing it in Japanese.
日本のゲーム音楽いっぱい出してくれるの嬉しい
Am I the only one having goosebumps?
No xD
Jordan Beckker Once upon a time videogames were soulish masterpieces. :)
RichterBelmontITA damn right brotha man! They were about creating amazing stories with lovable characters and hours of fun gameplay! None of this soulless money-making drivel they spew where EVERY OTHER GAME is a shooter -__-
***** Even after many years I still play those games :)
RichterBelmontITA
when, because it certainly wasn't this game.
Thank you so much, Smooth McGroove! If my 8- or 9-year-old self had never seen this video, I would've never known of the pure gem that is Chrono Trigger. I really appreciate the fact that you covered a song from this wonderful game, and I like to believe that you lead many people to discover and play it.
One of the most inspiring videos on the internet, I thank you.
Having heard him "sing" this and hearing him do U.N Owen Was Her... I would probably die happy if he ever did Time's Scar from Chrono Cross.
+MuroKhan A game no one played.
Xilo Channel Well, no one born before 2005 like I'm sure you were.
This song brings tears to my eyes... :,I
So many wonderful memories are connected to this game and this song in particular...
I used to play it with my mother back in the day. She wasn't much of a fan of video games yet, but Chrono Trigger, Terranigma and Tetris won her over.
This song was one of the few I remember us humming along whenever we got to that part. ;_;
It hurts bitterly right now, since my mother is in Rehabilitation after she suffered a heart attack in early January. She had been in Coma for 3 weeks after that and contact has started slowly about a week ago.
We can only see her for a short time over Skype, when the Nurses and Doctors allow it.
Hearing this song made me choke up a little. :,(
I just finished Chrono Trigger last month for the first time, and I have to say it's one of the best games I've played so far and listening to this song already makes me feel nostalgic.
You just took 1 of my favorite songs from the 16 Bit Era, and gave it a voice - thank you for singing this, so beautifully.
Also, anyone who has not experienced Chrono Trigger - get a DS / 3DS and get Chrono Trigger at your earliest convenience - you owe it to yourselves to play Chrono Trigger.
Beautiful game, beautiful theme, beautiful cover. This is genius.
Alright, I don't usually do this sort of thing, but CHRONO TRIGGER NEEDS YOUR HELP.
If you go to gamefaqs, they're having a vote for the best game ever - and chrono trigger is LOSING to super smash bros melee.
bitch YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO
CHANGE THE FUTURE
+SkyofMaster Yeah. Pro players (like me) voted for Melee, and it got 2nd to Undertale.
+Jatinder Gill But the future refused to change... :(
+Jatinder Gill but we all know C.T is way ass better
+AGR Double H There's really no need to compare the two. I'm sure even Toby Fox himself would agree that Chrono Trigger is a more epic game. The better man would simply appreciate both games for what they are.
Started playing this game again yesterday. Music like this is just one of the many reasons I love it. You made something amazing 20 years ago, Square.
what i would give to hear your take on Chrono Trigger - Frog's Theme!
My life would be complete!
***** a wise man you truly are
I have a theory: Enhasa was designed with reference to Lhasa in Tibet.
Lhasa is also known as the Forbidden City
Enhasa is also known as the forbidden city in Chrono Trigger as primitive people weren't allowed to live there either.
Also, both are secluded places high above the ground.
This is uncanny. How do you that weird trilling gong part? I mean...I can't even....just...you never cease to amaze.
What gong though? o.o
I freaking love your cover of this!
Smooth McGroove What you're doing in the 8th image (clap and snap) is blowing my mind. I can't do it!
It's so perfect! So consistent! So in-sync! I could do it MAYBE twice in a row. But Smooth is truly a legend.
you do know he owns a computer, which he uses to create these recordings, correct?
WTF is a computer?
Justin Drobey The 1st image is more impressive. Try to do that melody whistling
I've played through this game God knows how many times, and I still can't bring myself to get to Zeal with anyone but the original trio
Wow,same. I've played this like..i don't know,30 times,maybe more. And everytime i got into Zeal,i make the Crono,Lucca and Marle trio while saying to the others: "sorry,bro. Only pure magic people,yo".
I would love to bring Magus,but you can only bring him there is using cheats.. ;-;
Moments in music where I feel alive. You've nailed it.
I always say that *nothing* makes me feel home and safe like this piece of music.
Currently playing through the DS version of Chrono Trigger for the first time. Never gotten to play the DS version before, and found a great deal for a complete in box copy. Seeing the cutscenes have been pretty dope!
Anyway, got to Antiquity, heard the track, then had to come back here to hear Smooth's version again. One of my all-time favorite tracks, and he KILLS this rendition. Best cover ever.
OMG! I didn't know you man but i fucking love Chrono Trigger and his OST.
Liked and subscribed!
It's fucking 2016 and I really see somebody who seemingly doesn't know The Acapella Jesus (this is his nickname, referring to his beard). Well I guess everyone has it's first time, even tho it is fucking late to discover him now... 😑
Nimbereth
Hey man, it's never too late to find something. He still uploads after all.
Christopher Langman fair enough, guess you're right
OnnerbLeakcim triggered
I love this game, I have gotten every ending and loved every moment of it. I was a child rpg player and am now an adult rpg player. You can never replace the classics of yesteryear. who here agrees? give a thumbs up if you agree
Please do *Time's Scar* from Chrono Cross. ;)
+Albino Bob Oh yeah
+Albino Bob Yes plz ;~;
Yesss
+Albino Bob Either that, or home world arni village from Chrono Cross. ^_^
+Albino Bob Oh man, I would love to see Smooth perform some Chrono Cross tracks!
Came here after your come back video. This is the best !
i love that part where he says bum bum bum bum :) amazing smooth mc groove keep up the good work !!! Your like a Viking with the sound of an angelic Valhalla :).
I want you to know that you've added something special to my life, and I wanted to say thank you. I put on a Smooth McGroove playlist all day long buddy.
Not might. This is your best arrangement. You had a lot of fun with this one. Top notch.
This is genuinely a masterpiece
Would really like to hear you do the Ocean Palace. Also, some music from Chrono Cross begs to be done.
yes, Yes, YES! So much agreement in this message.
Like this guys comment to DEATH everyone!
Ocean Palace would be so awesome!
I like this theme, but is somewhat sad...
Zeal itself is a sad place - an empire on the verge of collapse yet no one's aware of it. We know it doesn't end well and that adds to it.
Agree!
To me its song about Zeal's memory, so it is both melancholy and happy.
It can be bittersweet to remember something good that isn't around anymore.
LightofLand
The entire game of Chrono Trigger is bittersweet to me. It's one of my favorite games of all time...and it always reminds me of an old childhood friend who I haven't seen or heard from in years. He's the one who first introduced me to the game 18 or so years ago. We played through the entire game one summer, and it was one of the best summers of my life. Everytime I play this game and hear the music...it invokes strong memories of a wonderful time in my life that has long since passed.
This song reminds me of Janus every time i hear it. :(
You fucking win my dude. This is the shit.
I wish I could win your dude.
What do you mean by that m8?
still gives me chills
Impressive singing, and such nostalgia. I'm actually replaying the game on Android at the moment, having first played it emulated 15 years ago, and it really has aged remarkably well. I'm really amused by the cat at 1:30 :)
Love the cat in his videos!
始めの部分は口笛なのか・・・すごすぎる
Still waiting for a remake of this...
Whats the problem with square?
Why they send a cease and desist card to the guys who were doing the remake?
If they want to be lazy, give the damn permission to the fans to make it
...wasn't there a DS Remake already?
Gridiron992 Remake with the same graphics? That's just a port.
Jedah Eric Sanchez
Not if it also has new content and makes use of the newer system features.
NekoVira Still wouldn't call it a "remake". More like "extended version".
DieserJunge89
fine then, just don't call it a port like they didn't do anything to expand on the original. Especially when it has anime cutscenes done by flippin' akira toryama.
I need to play this game one day. Its just one of those games that i never had growing up and fell under the radar
Still think this is his best
I agree
He has a lot of good ones but this one definitely brings back some really good memories. Love that game.
I like all your songs, but this was is fantastic.
the best one
Wow, this gave me MAJOR nostalgia, and the chilliest of chills. Makes me want to whip out my copy of Chrono Trigger and go play it again...
Bangin! Makes me wanna go set up my emulator and get it again! Thanks Smooth McGroove
When I went back after seeing this, I kept imagining this rendition!
lol. This dude is bad man!
Smooth McGoove is incapable of disappointing
I have never played Chrono Trigger, and I've played alot of games he did do acapella's on. But this must be my favourite one of them all. Amazing. Luckily we don't have to decide which one we can hear or not. :P
i would play it if i were you...its a turn(ish) based rpg. you time travel in it so thats cool
omniXenderman Oh wow... I downloaded it on an emulator (since I lost my snes) and it's as amazing as I expected it to be. And I'm not even a fan of rpgs really, but in this game the action keeps going without turns really. I'm not very far yet,can't wait to see what's going to happen next.
He even pans the main melody from side to side like the original. Great attention to detail.
Tu as fais de moi un homme heureux avec ce morceau
omg you just did a capella versions of all games that made me a gamer!!! so melancholic T^T
...You mean nostalgic?
Sir William Reginald Armchair YES! THX!!!! haha
I was not expecting this today...
Liked and subbed!
10 years later huh...we need a Smooth McGroove anniversary special....still a pure banger!
Schala's theme would be greatly appreciated.
Agreed, I bet Schala's theme would sound fantastic by Smooth!
+MegaFriendlyCreeper You mean Wiz Khalifa's Never Been? :3
+dirint no
DynamiteDupree Yep, True story.
Well get ready, because five years later Schala's Theme has been released!
SMOOTH MCGROOVE I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!
I watch this video to an unhealthy degree, but honestly, I wouldn't want to go any other way.
by far my favorite Smooth acapella
