Best Yasunori Mitsuda Song ever?
« on: January 02, 2006, 05:23:54 am »
Okay, as the title suggests, which ones are your favourites? You can only chose three even though it´s hard to decide :)

I´ll give my vote to these three:

1. People Seized with Life (Chrono Cross)
2. Flight (Xenogears)
3. Kaerus Theme (Chrono Trigger)

Just three songs out of his entire works? Golly, it is hard! He's a musical genius. But I'm prolly going to have to go with these:

1. "Guardia Millennial Fair"
This one goes on top because, in addition to being my favorite Mitsuda song on its own merits, it is also structurally identical in portions to the outstanding "Another Termina" and "My Village Is Number One."

2. "Home Termina"

3. "Another Termina"

No, I'm not crazy. Those are my real choices. But, just for the record, I'm also a big fan of "Epilogue" (RD), "Leftovers of the Dreams of the Strong" (XG), "Corridors of Time" (CT), "Time's Scar" (CC), the aforementioned "My Village Is Number One" (XG), and on and on and on. Genius, I tell ya. Pure genius.

To many to name.

Dragon God (CC)
Love it. It rocks. It's almost gypsyish, and I swear, I hear "harley" being said in the background.

Schala's Theme (CT)
This one made me cry a few times, it's so sad, and sad that we didn't get to play with Schala :'(

People seized with Life (CC)
^ Same as above except this one is creepy.

Frozen Flame (RD/CC)
It sounds so creepy, but also makes it seem as if the Flame, as it is stated, is a thing itself torn between love and hate in what it does.

Corridors of Time(CT)
Who doesn't love Zeal?

Scars of Time(CC)
It works especially good with the intro.

Life - Far Away Promise(CC)
The Ending Music, once the Chrono Cross is unleashed. It rocks.

Star Stealing Girl(CC)
This one also made me cry. It's very close to Schala's theme, and actually made me like Kid in a sence.

Orphan of Flame(CC)
Just sounds really, really good. Like some kind of war music :)

Radical Dreamers - Without stealing the jewel(CC)
It's in the Chrono Cross ending, with that cool cutscene of Schala in our world!

Manoria Cathedral(CT)
Sounds good. I love churches with creepy snake women xD

And that's only the ones from one play listo out of 20 XD

1. Radical Dreamers ~Le Trésor Interdit~ (yeah I like to call it in French because RD the game got the same subtitle) (Chrono Cross)

2. Small Two of Pieces ~Broken Shards~ (Xenogears)

3. Balto (Xenogears Creid)

Actually, I like every song from Creid. That album is too underrated I think, or at least not well-known enough.

1. Chrono Cross - The Dream that Time Dreams

This is the Chrono series if it were boiled down to its very musical essence.

2. Radical Dreamers - Epilogue ~ Dream Shore

It's...beyond words!

3. Chrono Trigger - Corridors of Time

Is that a retranslation? I'm not seeing that track on my soundtrack...

It's track 7 on the disc 3. It's also known as Dreamwatch of Time or even Time of the Dreamwatch (for some reason).

chrono cross - shadow end forest

I can't ever get tired of this one. I thought that after I finished my Chrono Cross Remix Project, I'd exorcise this song from the burned out circuitry in my head but it always comes back to me at random times throughout the day -n- night. Excellent track. Yasunori's best works are in 3/4 time, as well, like this one. Waltz time = the best.

Ah, yes! That song is absolutely incredible. One of my favorites, as well.

Oh God, that's not a fair question!

I can't pick three...but I can pick one:

Chrono Cross - The Star-Stealing Girl

I like the RD version almost as much, but this one is just overflowing. This is the true beauty Yasunori is capable of. This song brings tears to the eye, tugs at the heart, and sends chills down the spine altogether. It's not just the song, but the story being told behind the song. I'm referring to the scene where Serge pulls Kid out of Lucca's burning mausoleum. It stands alone by itself to be the most powerful piece of music ever written, but along with that incredible segment of the Chrono story...*sniff*

Ah, I have a few! In no particular order...

1.) Chrono Corridor (Chrono Trigger)
It's so wonderful...

2.) Too far away times (Chrono Trigger)
I cried to that song when I beat the game.  :cry:

3.) Time's Scar (Chrono Cross)
I heard this song the other day when I saw the Chrono Cross opening, very cool.

I'll edit my post and add my 3rd pick when I think of which one to put.

Just three? That's earthly impossible... He did CT, CC, Xenogears, Xenosaga Episode I, and others! How about I name those four soundtracks? :D

Hm... Three...

- Time's Scar
- Flight
- To Far Away Times

Those aren't my absolute favorites, I just can't choose one, or two, or even three, and so on. But those are just a few songs that I love. Not absolute favorites though.

This reminds me that I need to pick up the Cross OST sometime in the near future.

In some form of a particular order:

Chrono Trigger: To Far Away Times
Words cannot describe how much this song means to me. It's just incredible.

Chrono Cross: Arni Village ~ Another World
It's been a while since I have played, but I always remember this melody. I swear it's enchanting.

Chrono Trigger: Peaceful Days
Aghaaaa!! Everytime I hear this song I just go into this lullaby trance. I could have both arms amputated and then listen to this song and be happy as a clam.
