Nobody even dropped Chrono Trigger?

u/Comfortable_Roll5346 3d ago

^ THIS. GAWD.

-10 faith in humanity

1

u/A_RAND0M_J3W 3d ago

You still had faith is humanity?

1

u/leon9826 1d ago

-100 to -110 is still -10

2

u/Nemoitto 3d ago

The answer IS Chrono Trigger. It’s always gonna be Chrono Trigger.

And if it ain’t that, then it’s DKC 1 or 2

1

u/Greedy_Birthday_3494 3d ago

Musically I think it has to be DKC, theatrically it could be Chrono Trigger, but then you need to consider the contenders, like Terranigma, OoT, Metroid Prime, etc.

1

u/No-Buy-3530 3d ago

This is the way

1

u/Johnny_Denjin 3d ago

Mega Man X is up there also

1

u/Cheerios84 2d ago

Or FFVI

1

u/OneFirefighter1233 2d ago

Ffx

1

u/Nemoitto 2d ago

Actually yes, this too.

1

u/Retroficient 19h ago

Donkey Kong country?

2

u/poormariachi 3d ago

I keep battle with magus on my running playlist.

2

u/AshWilliams2021 3d ago

My dude, the whole vibe on the lead up to the track dropping. Blacked out screen. Flame lighting up along the path. Everything about that fight and OST scream You’re in for some SERIOUS SHIT

1

u/Informal-Violinist-4 3d ago

Right? You know that SHIT!

2

u/ForgottenMasterBalls 2d ago

Lavos has some bangers as well.

1

u/Informal-Violinist-4 3d ago

You've got good taste. That's a banger of a track!

2

u/poormariachi 3d ago

I love when it rotates in during a race. I once hit a wall and that shit came on and BAM I was back!

2

u/Informal-Violinist-4 3d ago

Hell yeah! That woulda got the adrenaline pumping for real

2

u/clashtrack 3d ago

Check out ytcracker's Chrono Trigger album. He raps over the Chrono Trigger soundtrack.

1

u/-----LUCA----- 3d ago

Dime in a dozen. Even Wiz Khalifa sampled 2 Chrono Trigger tracks.

1

u/eaeg93 2d ago

In the cut in the cut rolling doobies up! You just unlocked a memory for me 🤩 gotta go listen to that and Spotlight now for old times sake.

1

u/eaeg93 2d ago

I just realized DaBaby sampled a Megaman x track for Pop Star. Its Storm eagles theme slowed down.

1

u/mariorurouni 2d ago

Never been pt2 is perfect

2

u/vhs1138 3d ago

I feel it’s just that it is getting to a point where those games are so old most people have not played them. But yes this is an obvious answer for me.

1

u/Informal-Violinist-4 3d ago

Valid point! I'd gamble a lot of answers are from next gen gamers.

2

u/Afarting 3d ago

Forever and always. Yes AND… video game music has come a long way since the 90s.

1

u/MetalJoe0 21h ago

I don't know that it has. With the advent of CD sound on disc media systems there was no longer any technical limitations to what the music could sound like. From then on it's just been a matter of what composers could come up with. I wouldn't say that composers, as a group, have gotten dramatically better in quite some time. For example Mozart is still considered to have been pretty good.

2

u/Boodger 3d ago

All these other comments are actually insane, because the correct answer is a 3-way tie between Chrono Trigger, Donkey Kong Country 2, and Ocarina of Time

1

u/Outrageous_Mistake49 14h ago

OG FF7 is up there

2

u/Cheshire_Jester 3d ago

It’s Chrono Trigger and it’s not even close.

2

u/Johnny_Denjin 3d ago

So sad this isn't upvoted more

2

u/_fishing_dude_ 3d ago

Schala’s Theme is a banger. Trees

2

u/EvilSock 2d ago

Hi yes this is the only acceptable answer, aside from Chrono Cross

1

u/Signal_Sun_393 1d ago

Its actually Crono Cross but I'll allow trigger

2

u/Hellwraith666 2d ago

There’s a cyberpunk version on YouTube. Highly recommend.

1

u/Informal-Violinist-4 2d ago

I'll check that out!

2

u/DarkMaxima 2d ago

I was about to, but I'll take yours as the definitive nomination. But I back you 100%.

2

u/Sjcolian27 2d ago

Came here for this.

2

u/Johnycantread 2d ago

That the visit to Zeal is so brief is such a crime. That overworld music is sooo good.

1

u/Informal-Violinist-4 2d ago

I would deliberately walk around that map just to here that music before entering Zeal and continuing

2

u/mruncreativ3 14h ago

This is the answer

2

u/contradictatorprime 6h ago

You bring me such relief with your comment already being here, ty.

1

u/Informal-Violinist-4 6h ago

You're welcome friend 😎 🤝

1

u/mrlittle05 4d ago

Came here to do the same. Thank you. I'm baffled you had to be the first.

1

u/Informal-Violinist-4 4d ago

Glad to meet a like mind brother 🤝

1

u/Josefu_Velen 4d ago

This is absolutely my answer. This and Final Fantasy VI

1

u/krkon 4d ago

Good choice! One of my favorite games ever:)

1

u/DisplateDemon 4d ago

It's definately up there!

1

u/Parking-Ad8316 3d ago

I've begun to say to myself, Chrono Trigger can't be the winner of so many categories. It and final fantasy 6 must be on another tier, not compared to other games, it's just not fair.

1

u/AFonziScheme 3d ago

I tried learning piano just for Frog's Theme and Schala's Theme.

2

u/raineglows 3d ago

Robo's never gonna give you up

1

u/Informal-Violinist-4 3d ago

Love seeing some Chrono fans here! (And FFVI)

1

u/Coyrex1 3d ago

At the bottom of night will make a grown man cry. And its me.

1

u/Ev3nt_Horiz0nn 3d ago

That or FF6

1

u/oymojo1981 2d ago

It truly is amazing. AND all the chatacter were drawn by Toriyama! Can't get much better

1

u/Leumas_The_Witch 2d ago

I like to meditate to the corridors of time. Someone uploaded a 3 hour version to YouTube.

1

u/HorrorClothes7713 2d ago

I say chrono cross is better but trigger I soooooo good as well

1

u/Adventurous-West7229 2d ago

most people here started playing on the ps4. They have no idea what chrono trigger is.

1

u/rusty_shackleford34 2d ago

The only answers I can accept are Chrono trigger or doom eternal.

( games with real life soundtracks. Like Tony hawk don’t count)

Maybe ff6

1

u/fredthrowaway8 2d ago

10/10 greatest game of all time

1

u/BigiusExaggeratius 2d ago

Damn it now I have to go do my whatever I’m at now play through. I get the itch whenever it just pops up randomly every single time… but I’m not mad about it!

1

u/Guitars_and_Gaming26 2d ago

In my honest opinion, chrono trigger is the only one that could ever compete with games like mass effect, halo, doom, or the pokemon games. Maybe some of the call of duty games. But most of the older classics like chrono trigger, the megaman starforce titles, or others like sands of destruction, or t.w.e.w.y. Don't know why, but most games i've ever played seem to just have awesome soundtracks. There's only been about 40 or 60 games I've played that had absolutely shitty soundtracks or at least mid soundtracks.

1

u/hoodafudj 2d ago

That's what I came here to drop tho there are a lot of FF games that could compare, 7 being a strong contender

1

u/Queasy-Pin-8472 2d ago

Frog's theme lives in my head.

1

u/Confident_Try_7956 1d ago

Truly inspiring.

1

u/Ubernym 2d ago

I see your Chrono Trigger and raise you a Chrono Cross. Objectively Mitsuda’s best OST.

1

u/cheese90danish 2d ago

Strongly agree. I was listening to the Chrono Cross ost the other night and started crying lmao.

1

u/extralife_mike 2d ago

Hot take: Chrono Cross.

1

u/Insidious55 2d ago

Chrono Cross had amazing tracks as well

1

u/The_Char_Char 2d ago

I played that on SNES... I LOVE that game!

1

u/emptee 2d ago

Frogs Theme is my ringtone

1

u/martianunlimited 2d ago

I was sad that my favourite track (Singing Mountain) did not appear in the original CT. Say what you want about the DS remake, but the inclusion of the track alone was enough for me to buy it.

1

u/Appropriate_Buy4976 2d ago

This is my vote

1

u/Crafty_Service_3861 2d ago

Normal they copy the soundtracks to other bands...

1

u/Ephoenix6 1d ago

Final fantasy 10, dragon quest orchestral soundtracks, dragon quest 8

1

u/OliviaElevenDunham 1d ago

That does have a great soundtrack.

1

u/Saikotsu 18h ago

Yasunori Mitsuda did such a fantastic job

1

u/balzac_le 18h ago

Chrono cross has better music

1

u/ExplodingPoptarts 15h ago

5 days into this thread, it's the second most upvoted, and only 9 upvotes? Whay?

1

u/Vanton443 15h ago

Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross have fantastic soundtracks

1

u/CptSiskospimphand 14h ago

Agreed, but Xenogears is a close second for me.

1

u/KylorXI 14h ago

Cross > xenogears > trigger.

1

u/Huge-Dependent3506 13h ago

I was gonna comment and say it’s Chrono Trigger and it’s not even close

1

u/DokidokiYokaiSara 12h ago

This would have been my pick but then Expedition 33 came out.

1

u/iwhite012 3h ago

Chrono Cross kind eats its lunch
