The crazy thing about this beautiful soundtrack is that unlike final fantasy i didn't grow up playing chrono trigger but i've known about it most of my life, yet somehow through wanting to play old school ds games i ended up playing chrono trigger and i've been absorbed into the game, its pretty much all i think about So for me listening to this song is a full circle moment because it brought me towards playing chrono trigger and that simply is a beautiful thing.
On a whim, at 13, i rented this game. It was my first RPG. I had never experienced anything like it. And this music, it has stuck with me forever. And will continue to. Even now, I weep for its beauty, and the nostalgia of that, first, time.
I have the same experience. One day, I sat and played for 6 hours straight,with a space heater right beside me. Burnt a hole in my leg,but it was worth it. Final Fantasy 4 and 6,and Chrono Trigger. Definitely the trinity of badassery back in the day.
The younger generation that’s just finding this has no idea what it was like to be a 90s baby playing your video games every chance you get to go into another world or dimension and these tunes just took a kid’s imagination even further. That’s what life is about translating imagination into creative reality, while slaying dragons on your life’s mission of course !!!!
Just started playing this a week ago and am completely obsessed. Ive been a huge fan of rpgs since i was a kid and didnt pick this one up until now and im glad i did.
Fire Emblem fates, 99% sure this is the base of the "you are the oceans gray wave" motif they use throughout the game Never played Chrono Trigger, just stumbled upon this and it felt like listening to a demo of the Fates ost 20 years in advance lol
The night is young and the moon fully lit, shining down low on the secret forest. One like him walks the eerie path as the glow from above casts shadows on the trees that dance to the beat. They wave their arms back and forth, as the black wind howl picking up the mushrooms that bounce up and down to the rhythm of moans from the ManFrog. Magus fades into the night as he sees a party of three approaching led by a fire-haired boy. …
Akira didn’t write the music tho. Not tryna be insensitive but it’s cool that y’all came back to this after his passing. This gives me nostalgic memories
Not tryna start any beef, but I don't think anyone's claiming he wrote the music. Moreso they're appreciating him and his work with the character (and art?) designs. If I'm wrong feel free to call me out.
crazy how much i slept on this theme as a kid, i never liked it until i got older and appreciated music more. probably one of the best songs in the game.
started playing chrono trigger because of the amazing ost that kept on showing up in my recommended, in under an hr I could tell this game is gonna leave a mark
I played this when it first came out and when I got to the forest part (yep tune starts in the forest) I kinda just froze for a moment, then did what I had to do and got out. A very small part of the game. The next day I was thinking of the tune and it took forever to rediscover the location but I did and stayed in the forest for a long time. Finished the game and was glad it got a ton of accolades but kept thinking but what about that song??? At least once a year I go searching for the tune on RUclips. Can't remember the superior game but I can't get this otherworldly song ever out of my mind...yea
I remember first hearing this song in a gametheory video 8 years ago and have been nostalgic for it in my own way just thinking of the theory that i still believe to this day. Im nostalgic for a song from a game ive never even played.
The very first time I heard Run in them Adidas I never would have thought one day I'd have a fever They used to say, "Nah, Dom, he is not no keeper" And "Yeah them songs cool, but naw he ain't got no heaters" But then I went home (Shhh) we ain't got one neither
Times this song's tune was used in video games: 1. Light World Dungeon (The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past) 2. Secret of the Forest (Chrono Trigger) 3. Dragonspiral Tower (Pokémon Black & Pokémon White)
I rememeber sleeping in my cousins car. We just smoked some Jane. I hear this playing and I wake up and it's a wiz Khalifa song playing. I said!!! Yo this sample is from a video game! I was so excited to show them. I'm not a fan of wiz Khalifa at all. But that song stuck with me.
you mean isnt dragonspiral tower not just secret of the forest, if any song took inspiration from one it was the pokemon song from this, since this came first
I dont know why the people put "rest in peace, akira" in comments. Yeah, he did designed of the characters but this is soundtrack and the story or game aren't related with him
![(EXTENDED) Secret of the Forest - Chrono Trigger [Ambient cover]](/img/1.gif)
Rest in Piece, Akira Toriyama.
😢
he didn't compose it
@@socadanocu yeah obviously, toriyama designed almost all the characters in the game art wise
RIP Toriyama. Thank you for all the great memories
Rest in peace Akira Toriyama 🕊️
Fucking bots, they even have the same typo
@@NariGenghis omfg I'm so sorry lol
It's amazing that the SNES was able to do music like this. Such a gorgeous track.
Man, Chrono Trigger was such a good game.
i mean, 16bit sampling? every snes track ever
Thank you, Akira Toriyama...
Thank you, Yatsunori Mitsuda for making the song
Rest in piece, Akira. Thank you for your contribution in this game and rest well.
rest in piece, Akira
Feel bad everyone couldn't experience this song in game. Music is the gateway to the soul.
That bassline at 1:40 is insane, never noticed that before but BRO
so simple yet spicy
Fr it gave me an eargasm lol
emulating fretless bass on console, that's something
both the basslines of this song are so classic, you can hear that pattern in alot of amazing songs its so bangin
Good ears lol .
The crazy thing about this beautiful soundtrack is that unlike final fantasy i didn't grow up playing chrono trigger but i've known about it most of my life, yet somehow through wanting to play old school ds games i ended up playing chrono trigger and i've been absorbed into the game, its pretty much all i think about
So for me listening to this song is a full circle moment because it brought me towards playing chrono trigger and that simply is a beautiful thing.
Just got it on sale on Steam. The same deal have been focused on it. They tell a great story.
I'm crying... 💔
Can we just go back in time when this game was released? Life was so much better..
I always come back to this song to clear my mind.
On a whim, at 13, i rented this game. It was my first RPG. I had never experienced anything like it. And this music, it has stuck with me forever. And will continue to. Even now, I weep for its beauty, and the nostalgia of that, first, time.
The winter of 1995 was made magical by this game. I remember letting the game idle while I would listen to the music.
Thanks Akira.
I have the same experience. One day, I sat and played for 6 hours straight,with a space heater right beside me. Burnt a hole in my leg,but it was worth it. Final Fantasy 4 and 6,and Chrono Trigger. Definitely the trinity of badassery back in the day.
This song is so flipping incredible… it’s perfect!!
This song. The actual feeling and vibe of this song.
Is exquisite, or perfect. In other words, beautiful.
Wish I could play this game for the first time again
But I could listen to the soundtrack a hundred times and it still hits the same

Every underground artist used this for a sample lol
just came here to sample this💀
DJ SACRED!

@@BigBoomBoom4 yezzuurrrr
@@ApetheWizardwat song?
My fellow chrono trigger brethren
*sigh* man, rest In peace I followed your work from db to chrono and dragon quest…thank you from all of us, rip Akira toriyama.
Just started playing this a week ago and am completely obsessed. Ive been a huge fan of rpgs since i was a kid and didnt pick this one up until now and im glad i did.
Yasunori Mitsuda is one the greatest musical genius in history imo
You know when I was a kid playing this amazing game, listening to this amazing soundtrack… really took it for granted 😔
First example of Mitsuda Lick: 0:26-0:31
One of my favorite tunes, I’m glad it’s referenced in so many games
Thank you for putting a name to this. It’s been used so many times! I think even kingdom hearts sampled a bit
Fire Emblem fates, 99% sure this is the base of the "you are the oceans gray wave" motif they use throughout the game
Never played Chrono Trigger, just stumbled upon this and it felt like listening to a demo of the Fates ost 20 years in advance lol
Really weird to see all the comments are just 1 month ago while the song was uploaded 11 years ago
I’m with you on that one. I’ve heard this song years ago but never knew where it came from
Bro fr, the first time I heard it was in a video of a duck with flower on it's head falling asleep.
I guess RUclips wants us to continue hearing this even 12 years later
Tiktok kids, zoomers pretending to have ACTUALLY played the game in the 90s 😂

Why doesn't this masterpiece have 1 million views?
Sometimes masterpieces are unknown.
The rain edit one has 3 million
One of the best soundtracks ever 😍
This song man... It's like a distant dream
This goes so hard 🔥
Such feeling! Im not crying.
a work of art!!
anybody know where I could find that choir instrument sound effect thingy they used??
This games music is so good.
Dragonspiral Tower - Pokemon BW2
Battle Against a True Hero - Undertale
Sidon's Theme - Zelda Breath of the Wild
Aquatic Ambiance - Donkey Kong Country
@@lain7758 Does it have the lick too?
"Young girl A" also has it
Soul Sanctum - Hollow Knight
@@unfathomablyunfathomable There doesn't seem to be any melodical resemblance, but good taste in music.

i knew this sounded familiar!!! i think the song Breathe by Dandelion Hands sampled this. the original is absolutely beautiful.
Masterpiece
Legendary vg music right here!!!
This song seems to be strongly inspired by Toshiki Kadomatsu - Sea Song (reprise)
@Metrocysh are you still here?
Esse som é incrível
I remember first hearing this song in a gametheory video 8 years ago and have been nostalgic for it in my own way just thinking of the theory that i still believe to this day. Im nostalgic for a song from a game ive never even played.
Anemoia, hell of a drug
What. A. Track.
i think that chrono trigger have one of the best early-game feel in all rpg
100,000 thousand dollar it may sound like its alot really its not
@@flabbergastedcattywampus Wiz Khalifa - Never Been part 2. He uses this as a beat
@Awoken777 what?
@Awoken777 who cares retard you can play the game AND like wiz crazy concept to autists i know
Congratulation for being the oldest comment here
@@docilelikewintercatfish much thank
0:26 la primera frase suena identica a "estos hombres tristes" de almendra :0
Love this stage of honor, this time is triggered! A master bound us :) r.i.pictures in our minds.
The very first time I heard Run in them Adidas
I never would have thought one day I'd have a fever
They used to say, "Nah, Dom, he is not no keeper"
And "Yeah them songs cool, but naw he ain't got no heaters"
But then I went home (Shhh) we ain't got one neither
genuinely didnt know what the title of this was for the longest time until a gnome video sent me here
Someone pointed out that the celestial tower theme from Pokemon BW2 sounds just like this and I can't unhear it.
Wow
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS, IT MAY SOUND LIKE IT'S A LOT, REALLY IT'S NOT TO ME- 🗣
Thanks for everything Toriyama- Sensei
cant explain what i felt when i heard this
Celestial tower from pokemonnn
SquareSoft’s SNES games were “chief’s kiss”
Why do people say 'Rest in piece'? R.I.P stands for 'Rest in peace.'.
Never noticed how often people spelled that wrong until you pointed it out.. oh well. (There) heart was in the right spot! Lol!
This song suits Guts a lot
Someone refresh….
Magus was the young Zeal prince that was caught in a time warp and sent to the medieval era?
Wiz Kahlifa - Never Been, Pt. II
They sampled this song so well.
Soon as I heard that song Chrono Trigger popped up. Nostalgia is strong with this one
the original is a 100 times better in my opinion
lil weird sampling
Hipster rap yo.
Sounds like crap
Estoy aquí gracias al tema "El Inmortal" de Alhan. 😅
Man...there's a track in Alundra that is almost identical to this 🤯
Times this song's tune was used in video games:
1. Light World Dungeon (The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past)
2. Secret of the Forest (Chrono Trigger)
3. Dragonspiral Tower (Pokémon Black & Pokémon White)
Leigo
Also Alundra
Prairie Rain Field from .hack has a similar feel
Why my guy look like Tapion? Or is that him….and I just realized Wiz used both never been and never been pt 2 from this game 😮
Made by the same guy…
Why is there a bunch of random ass recent people on this lol
Tiktok lol
noooooo tiktok ruin everything!!! DJ SACRED - REST YO SOUL
its chrono trigger duh
RIP Akira Toriyama.

I don't know how this dissonant bassline works so well, but it does.
A part of "young girl A" sounds really similar to this
bring bacc original soundtrax in video games ! im tired of them using “popular” songs on all the mainstream games nowadays lol
they haven’t really left tho just check out more games, don’t miss out
@@Icee64 eh i know lol im more speaking on the games i play like nfs lol i miss when racing games had hard dnb soundtrax
@@roshiiirohoe brooo tell me about it like Ridge Racer, but also Gran Turismo and F-Zero had some goated music
Racing Lagoon also has some fire music
@@Icee64 gran turismo menu music plays in my mind whenever im customizing cars on a game 😂😂
Will Tesla
Ces cru
Wiz
So many artists sampled this.
🙏
Mitsuda cooked way too hard
my blood got fent
I'm convinced this was at least partially inspired by Boz Scaggs' Jojo.
Could you please elaborate? I sort of hear it now, but not quite
Off by Picchio Dal Pozzo is much closer.
@@aliets Holy shit you're right. Thanks!
@@justanotherhankhillaccount I think it was the keyboards that made me try to connect the two.
@@ultraclunt9667 I totally hear it now! Good connection
Remake asap
Thank you Akira! The lessons I learned will be with me forever.
Sounds like tales of phantasia.
GOATED EZ
Mentally I'm just here
rip
RIP Akira, you will always be remembered.
Wiz Khalifa - never been part 2
is this not just dragonspiral tower from pokémon black and white?
you mean isnt dragonspiral tower not just secret of the forest, if any song took inspiration from one it was the pokemon song from this, since this came first
this came out first
@Awoken777 dude OBVIOUSLY, i didn’t mean chrono trigger copied it i meant they are almost the exact same song
Actually both are light dungeon from a Link to the past
Kenji Yamamoto went through Chrono Trigger for Vegeta sacrifice music from Dbz budokai 3 then.
Vengo aquí desde Ludofonia
I dont know why the people put "rest in peace, akira" in comments. Yeah, he did designed of the characters but this is soundtrack and the story or game aren't related with him
people feels engagement with the collective work
I mean he is actually in one of the game´s secret endings so...
This and breath of fire 3 mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Don't give af about the moneyyyyy, clothes, carssss. I never beeeeen this farrr
lostrushi?
