Hell yes! me and my older brother always said that growing up, like final fantasy 6, chrono trigger, final fantasy 7 etc. if they dont change the music in a battle you know some shit is either going down or about to.
This is one of the greatest songs in the game, it is SO badass that it doesn't stop for battles. It creates a sense of urgency that makes that part of the game so much more epic.
@@Mattbogushey, me too. It’s been over 10 - Years since I first completed CT on my Nintendo DS, so now I am going through it again on my psvita & later on my DS again.
I remember playing the part of the game back in High school for the SNES. Stereo sound connected, no lights, Listening to this piece still gives me goosebumps!
Im 32 now ive been playing games since i was about 3 years old (first console was an nes) and games are so different now than what i grew up with, and as i get older i know new generations of gamers will come and make their own memories with their games (like spiderman ps4, fallguys..among us, COD.etc) but for me...this game is The best game in My generation.
33 here, and 100% agree with you, all others I've played end up competing with this, only other ones close are FF7 and FFX for the sheer amazing storylines and music. But this one takes the cake
Didn't play this game until I was 11, I'm 23 now, and I completely agree with you. If this game ever got a remaster with "today's" graphics and in HD, I know damn well everyone who's played the original game will lose their minds
The fact that this tracks uses stereoscopic audio (where that main instrument just keeps oscillating from the right to the left speaker, back and forth) just makes it THAT much better 😊
Always reminds me of the trial against the king (side quest).. Fun fact: if you pick Crono, Magus with Marle before this quest in the castle kicks off, Magus calls Marle an idiot/fool when wondering how she could prove the King's innocence.
Its hard to come close to getting the right feeling for this piece when its remixed, especially the contrast in dynamics, and balance shifting. But the original will always be the best when it comes to music like this.
thewhole era of the game music wise is probably some of the most epic in the entire decade of rpg gaming aside from xenogears. squaresfot will never recover from what they lost.
@@NickyLaurienzo you definitely got to then lol Luckily I was aware not to fight him again so he can join me, it's so fucking cool having a boss for a party member!
@@MisterAutist yeah unfortunately I didn’t know I thought he would join you for defeating him again for some reason😂 but I bet, I can’t wait to play Magus and mix up my final boss team lineup lol
The synth part at the begining of the loop reminds me of the sound effect news channels used to play when they had breaking news. It really gives a sense of urgency to the song
El arco del 12000 antes de Cristo es lo mejor de todo Chrono Trigger. Que tremenda maravilla en todo sentido, en serio. La música, la trama, la ambientación mística. Es simplemente perfecto.
playing chrono trigger with the strict rule of no respawns from save states and 'enemy attack even if u are not ready', this music means you're soon gonna face the golem twins, among the deadliest bosses in the game if u don't know their weakness, and if they get their physical hits on chrono's waifu before u get to cast a magic dmg on them, it could be over in a few seconds.
corridors of time would be #1. Holy trinity with Shevat the Wind is Calling from Xenogears and Forgotten Days Village of the Hidden Rune from Suikoden 1
@lynnvryett Funny thing is that those little differences in the piece have always been there. Its just after being digitally remastered to make the sound more clear those differences are heard more clearer.
@Maphysto Yeah, seriously. They're just messing with "time" now... Oooh, I get it. "Time". :D Kinda like how Frog's in the party when fighting Zombor in the anime opening, when he shouldn't be. TIME PARADOX!!! D:
@spectreshadow Damn skippy xD I need to play through this gem again. They don't make them like they used to. I've played RPG maker games that are better than some of the new stuff coming out.
I don't think Square even knows how much money they'd make if they remade this. But damn as much as i'd love to see that I fear aquare-enix might mess up.
The element enemies actually aren't too bad once you realize they're weak against elements matching their color. Still a pain in the ass tho (I had Chrono, Frog and Ayla)
I wish for a New Chrono Trigger Game, because this is such a amazing game I wish there would be new Characters, Techs, New Music, and A New Story. Chrono Trigger Best Game from the SNES.
For any who haven't played Chrono Trigger for a period of time, and then throw in Flames of Eternity... no spoilers on the details but the Ocean Palace makes a return! My mind hearing this tune again was blown in nuclear proportions!
I was introduced to this theme via Team (9) Mystical Quest: Evil_Nazgul0616 used it for the Depths of Makai section; a nice choice that really did fit the setting. From what I have heard and seen here, I should really get round to playing this myself, shouldn't I. (#^_^#)

RPG themes that don't switch over to the default battle themes are always the best. Let's you know that shit's about to get REAL.
Hell yes! me and my older brother always said that growing up, like final fantasy 6, chrono trigger, final fantasy 7 etc. if they dont change the music in a battle you know some shit is either going down or about to.
Agreed, just like in FFX when the music doesn't change in the Zanarkand Ruins
It really makes you feel that you're racing against time.
I thought i was the only one who thinks that xD
The best dungeons are the ones with fantastic music that never gets interrupted
To those who aren't listening with headphones: the track is stereo, so the intro and every occurrence of it dances from one ear to the other and back!
Kinda like a clock's pendulum
I don't even use headphones and i NOTICED that!
I only just now noticed that.
OMG GOD YESSSSSS!!!!
This is my favourite piece in the game. It just has that feel that you're racing to stop something catastrophic and the clock is ticking.
Cause you are,any minute late and it's lavos ending humanity
@@randomness4989 and Zeal is doomed
I think it's a tie for best song between this and magus's theme
@@chrys_stone8716 definitely. I have Magus join my party just to so I can hear his theme when I fight Zeal
It's fantastic, the perfect blend of "battle, tragedy, and melencholy" in one piece
Something about the way the "battle engage" sound effect seems like it echoes in the undersea palace when this plays always gives me chills
**schwing**
You noticed that too?!
it's that classic SNES reverb with squares awesome sound design.
The atmosphere is so good. You can feel the tension
This song gives one message loud and clear: Things got real. Especially considering what happens on that part of the game.
true
The moment where this theme kicks in and then you save the game and see the chapter title is "Lavos Beckons." Chills.
The way they keep playing this music even though the battles really demonstrates the tension. It's a race against time.
This is one of the greatest songs in the game, it is SO badass that it doesn't stop for battles. It creates a sense of urgency that makes that part of the game so much more epic.
Best song on the entire soundtrack. Perfect timing cause shit is getting SO REAL at this point in the game!
God I LOVE THIS GAME. Man i wish i could play it again without knowing every single thing that would happen.
I've been playing it for 3 days for the first time 25 years. I'm going through it again before I dive into Radical Dreamers and then Crimson Echoes.
Me too whit this game AND ocarina of time.
@@Mattbogushey, me too. It’s been over 10 - Years since I first completed CT on my Nintendo DS, so now I am going through it again on my psvita & later on my DS again.
@@magic4478i can legit imagine this song playing in a Zelda dungeon
Mixing modern synth with classical instruments was a stroke of genius.
I remember playing the part of the game back in High school for the SNES. Stereo sound connected, no lights, Listening to this piece still gives me goosebumps!
Same, and when I got my Nintendo 3DS and this game for Christmas, I was thrilled
I also loved how it played during the Kings trial. You are absolutely right about it setting the tone of hurry the fuck up.
Im 32 now ive been playing games since i was about 3 years old (first console was an nes) and games are so different now than what i grew up with, and as i get older i know new generations of gamers will come and make their own memories with their games (like spiderman ps4, fallguys..among us, COD.etc) but for me...this game is The best game in My generation.

Best track on this OST. Actually part of my daily run playlist.
Solid gold SNES MASTERPIECE.
Arrival to the dungeon is just incredibly iconic. You’re teleporting down under the ocean and THIS music enters.
I love the rush and feel of this song. The urgency.
The fact that this tracks uses stereoscopic audio (where that main instrument just keeps oscillating from the right to the left speaker, back and forth) just makes it THAT much better 😊
This one and Black Omen are the best dungeon songs of the ost. So inmersive.
they are the same structure its just like a boss' second form
@@FzeroVaporeon Agreed.
I like Tyranno Lair too
"Crono with the Golden Stud spamming Luminaire over and over again" theme
lol
Lmao
I remember this piece was also played in present time when Marle had to prove her fathers innocents when he was accuses of stealing the Rainbow Shell.
Always reminds me of the trial against the king (side quest)..
Fun fact: if you pick Crono, Magus with Marle before this quest in the castle kicks off, Magus calls Marle an idiot/fool when wondering how she could prove the King's innocence.
Magus can't stop being a dick even with his great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandniece
Magus is kind of a dick at times.
He's the Vegeta of this story
Man this song there none of like it to instil a feeling of oncoming unstoppable doom Its the very definition of foreboding
When you hear this piece play in the background, you know shit has gotten serious
This is it. The single greatest video game ever made. An absolute perfect experience.
This also plays when Yakra XIII the fake Chancellor judge the King of Guardia in 1000 AD
Beautiful Song!!!
0:51 Is my favorite part of this Song 🎧🎵🎶 because you really feel the intense of the situation that will occur!!!!!
😎😎😎😎
😎😎😎😎
Love love this game. Every few years I replay it 🥂
Its hard to come close to getting the right feeling for this piece when its remixed, especially the contrast in dynamics, and balance shifting. But the original will always be the best when it comes to music like this.
"Nicely Spotted" is a term reserved for things that aren't obvious love
Yasunori Mitsuda at his finest
thewhole era of the game music wise is probably some of the most epic in the entire decade of rpg gaming aside from xenogears. squaresfot will never recover from what they lost.
Best song/theme in the game. It truly gives you that things are about to get very real feeling
I’m sad because I beat this game for the first time last night and it was just so fucking good I want there to be more 😩
I'm towards the end with the sidequests. I feel the exact same way!!
@@MisterAutist it’s sooo good dude! It’s already in my top fav games of all time. And I need to replay it cuz I never had Magus join my party 😭
@@NickyLaurienzo you definitely got to then lol Luckily I was aware not to fight him again so he can join me, it's so fucking cool having a boss for a party member!
@@MisterAutist yeah unfortunately I didn’t know I thought he would join you for defeating him again for some reason😂 but I bet, I can’t wait to play Magus and mix up my final boss team lineup lol
It has multiple endings lots of replay value
The synth part at the begining of the loop reminds me of the sound effect news channels used to play when they had breaking news. It really gives a sense of urgency to the song
uma obra de arte
Pode crer!

'Everything you can imagine is real.'
-pablo picasso.
And really nice ost also ❤
The chord progression of this song is fucking insane, love it so much
I'm thinking of doing a top 100 video game songs of all time and this would be in the top 10 for sure.
corridors of time would be #1. Holy trinity with Shevat the Wind is Calling from Xenogears and Forgotten Days Village of the Hidden Rune from Suikoden 1
together with zeal palace one of my favourites
My favourite track is undersea palace. So eerie and mysterious...
This theme is magical
Sabes que estas en el climax del juego cuando no ponen el bgm de batalla y continúa la melodía.
I get choked up every single time I hear this
God that synth ❤
Can't love this enough!
I love the games that leave me with really good soundtrack 👏👏
@ReddChameleon it's eerie, distant, intense, sorrowful and yet peaceful all at once
THIS IS TOO GUD!!!
TOP 5 THEMES OF ALL TIME FOR ME!!!
I love it soooooo much
Awesome theme! Reminds me of Unfinished Sympathy, by Massive Attack.
@lynnvryett Funny thing is that those little differences in the piece have always been there. Its just after being digitally remastered to make the sound more clear those differences are heard more clearer.
Lowkey the best song in the game.
100% --- i just realized that haha.
i can play this whole song on piano i swear chrono trigger has the best ost in any game
Anyone else wonder how the heck Marle is using fire in the box art? Like only Lucca can do that in the actual game lol
That's the beta box art, and it hasn't been updated lol
@@dragumkirisute1998 that's the box art used in the final north American release of the game
This track perfectly encapsulates the Zeal kingdom's ambition. I associate this track with the Zeal kingdom more than Corridors of Time.
Chrono adventure
'Lost Warrior in Time' . . .
Am I the only one who feels like this area and events inspired Hollow Bastion from KH1?
This awesome.
@JamesMasonSunderland
yeah, i like when rpgs do that, actually its what make the undersae palace stand out.
The save file for this part of the game is "Lavos Beckons..." Appropriate.
@JamesMasonSunderland It really does give you the sense if you don't hurry Lavos is going to destroy the planet.
@Maphysto
Yeah, seriously. They're just messing with "time" now... Oooh, I get it. "Time". :D
Kinda like how Frog's in the party when fighting Zombor in the anime opening, when he shouldn't be. TIME PARADOX!!! D:
como una melodia puede transmitirte tanta intriga, misterio y suspenso?
@spectreshadow Damn skippy xD I need to play through this gem again. They don't make them like they used to. I've played RPG maker games that are better than some of the new stuff coming out.
Such a hard ass song!!
the best with headphones. BGEM
“Alright! Time to rescue Schala, defeat Lavos, and ride off into the sunset…..right?”
@TheXxyzzyxx Nobuo is a god yeah but its Yasunori who made this music...
I don't think Square even knows how much money they'd make if they remade this. But damn as much as i'd love to see that I fear aquare-enix might mess up.
They did remake it, for 3DS
I played this in Rhodyles human ranch on ToS.
I really liked the CORE
I mean! the ocean palace!
Those element enemies tho T.T And the elevators.
Ahh i suck at RPGs don't i?
The element enemies actually aren't too bad once you realize they're weak against elements matching their color. Still a pain in the ass tho (I had Chrono, Frog and Ayla)
Schala enters the chat
this has the same feeling as FF7's Judgment Day
The background loop sounds kinda scary, like an "all or nothing" situation
Good thing i got the game for the DS in 08 December
I wish for a New Chrono Trigger Game, because this is such a amazing game I wish there would be new Characters, Techs, New Music, and A New Story. Chrono Trigger Best Game from the SNES.
Chrono Trigger - Flames of Eternity
Check it!
One of the best final dungeon themes in a game. And this isn't even the final dungeon!
Awesome flashy graphics and other unneeded changes?
Why in the heck is the princess shooting out fire in this picture? She's the water type one!
I believe that was a change they made back during the Alpha phase of production, just decided to keep the original artwork
*Ice
This is my ringtone
I hate they took the extended version off
Replayed this on my laptop and spent hours leveling everyone to 99 only to have it crash a month later. God damnit….
😊😅 oh the Nostalgia
*When the shit is about get real theme*
@alskkumar
Against Heckran.
....On Death peak.
....Yeah.
Love this song. Too bad I somehow keep hearing car-keys all the time... :(
Just like you don't fight Heckran in, what looks to be, Death Peak.
For any who haven't played Chrono Trigger for a period of time, and then throw in Flames of Eternity... no spoilers on the details but the Ocean Palace makes a return! My mind hearing this tune again was blown in nuclear proportions!
shit just got real
You are correct when you get the rainbow
I was introduced to this theme via Team (9) Mystical Quest: Evil_Nazgul0616 used it for the Depths of Makai section; a nice choice that really did fit the setting. From what I have heard and seen here, I should really get round to playing this myself, shouldn't I. (#^_^#)
I want a Download link to this Song... Does anyone have it?
Speed it up to 1.25X and it kind of rocks.
Came Here From Sonic Chrono Adventure.
it was concept art
This and chronos theme
