Happy 30th Chrono Trigger!

The SQUARE ENIX MUSIC Channel on YouTube will host a stream of Chrono Trigger's music beginning Friday 14 Mar at noon Japan time for about a day and a half.

The stream will be at https://youtu.be/0sF-4_qa_zQ.

Truly the Gurren Lagann of our time. All the lights in the sky are timegates, timegates that await us.

I was about to make a post about this.

Is this it? Redemption?! Remake?! 

[Boo the Gentleman Caller]

I'm not holding my breath with any of this being meaningful, such as a new game or remaster. I think it will just be a little fanfare and things like this. But I would love for it to be so much more!

Also - holy crap, welcome back, Ema! Long time no see. Hope you're doing well!

I didn't copy down any of the comments myself, nor do I remember if I saw these particular ones personally, but Mitsuda posted to the live chat during the stream.

時が経つのは早いものですね。今年は『クロノ・トリガー』３０周年ですが４０周年、５０周年も変わらずこの作品が皆様にとって大切な作品であり続けることを願っております。【光田康典】

クロノ・トリガーのテーマ曲は、堀井雄二氏、鳥山明氏、坂口博信氏が出席した初の全体ミーティングの時でした。テープに録音して皆さんに披露したのですが、全く反応が無くかなりショックを受けました。【光田康典】

ミーティングの後、プロデューサーに呼ばれ「光田君、このゲームは200万人以上の方がテーマ曲を聞くんだよ。松任谷由実さんを超えなきゃーダメなんだよ。」といわれ没を言い渡されました。【光田康典】

Also, focusing on one of the early comments:

開発中はゴンザレスに勝つとゴールドが貰えていたのですが、仕様変更によりポイントになりました。その関係でせっかくメロディを“ゴールド”に合わせて書いていたのに合わなくなりました（泣）。【光田康典】
During development, you could get gold for defeating Gonzales, but due to a change in specifications, it became points. Because of this, the melody I had written to match "gold" no longer matched (tears). [Mitsuda Yasunori]

I noticed that this aligns with one of the observations from the Prerelease Coverage page:

On page 7 you can get a look at Melchior's Millennial Fair inventory, and there's an old man selling accessories near the tent where you can exchange silver points in the final. Silver points were apparently not a thing in this version, as you can also see that fighting Gato will win you 100 gold instead of 15 silver points.
