This is unbelievable. Now if you excuse me, I appear to have something in my eye.

That mix of "star stealing girl" and "broken shards", can't express the experience of hearing that.

I just really wanted to thank you for all your work on this piece. I've been listening to re-arrangements of video game music for over 6 years and now have over 2300 songs in my playlist, I can honestly say that only one song has brought me to tears, and it was minimal, but after listening to this time and time again there's just soo much emotion and beauty in the tones. The first time I heard it, my parents thought I was seriously injured because of all the tears, at work I was listening to it and my boss wanted to send me home because he thought I was sick because my whole face had turned red. I'm listening to it again now and still my response have yet to change. Thank you eternally for providing me with the single most amazing thing I have ever heard.

Thank you, not only is it very difficult to compose and re-imagine the music itself but on a technical level it is extremely tough to get it sounding right as well so the listener can focus on what the music is saying without being distracted by the way it sounds. I'm glad the hard work paid off and you were able to enjoy it!

As far as I can tell, you could think that any Final Fantasy is the best rpg ever, or maybe Zelda, who cares? What I'm saying here is that Chrono Trigger is the best RPG ever made. It's not for debate, it's the real truth and you know that. If you don't, it's because you've never played Chrono Trigger in your life. Now, just to make some point here, look at this list made by IGN: www.ign.com/lists/top-100-rpgs/1 You can disagree with almost everything there if you want to, but you need to agree that Chrono Trigger IS the best RPG ever made. You're speaking with a person who played the best out there, I love a lot of RPG games, but I'm quite convinced about Chrono Trigger and it's by FAR.

mmmmmnope. definitely xenogears. i've played both. own both original (english) releases. have clocked thousands of hours on both. hands down, there is no better plot in a game that tops xenogears, once it finally comes together. the only thing questionable about this is combat styles, with more useful techs in chrono vs most battles being combos only in xenogears. but those combos are EPIC. chrono trigger doesn't even make second, as ff VI also has an awesome story, and the customizable leveling that you can do in 6 (or for a challenge, the lack of). chrono trigger is a tossup in third with several others, such as ff4, suikoden 2, ff7 and ff tactics. as for all those, i love them all so much, it's hard to choose. but if i was held at gun point and told to choose the only game i could ever play again for the rest of my life, it would be xenogears.

Not sure if I have every track you ever released but there's 59 in my playlist. I love all of it. I adore Chrono Cinematica. I tell everyone it's the greatest fan made tribute album ever released. But I think I'm finally ready to say Xeno Cross is my favorite. I'm locked into every note when these tracks play. The sound quality is as close to a real orchestra as I've ever heard. It feels as full and rich as any movie score. Somehow an entire whimsical story unfolds in my mind every time I listen. There's so much beauty here. This 36 year old man isn't ashamed to say these songs can bring me to tears. Thank you for putting in the work to make such quality music.

SamoStudios I hope you continue this work. I happened upon your work while feeling nostalgic for some Metroid music and was blown away at your works with it. Then I found this gem which is hands down my favorite of your works. I loved Xenogears and Chrono Cross. Those two RPG's are in my top 5 best games I've personally ever played for story, soundtrack, and gameplay. I love how you're able to blend both games scores together which wouldn't seem possible but you're able to pull it off. I especially love the mix on your "Home" track. I love around the 9:00 mark where you take the original content and add an almost Irish Jig style to it.... brilliant. I've often found myself remixing, adding beats and high hats to the music I love but never had the software to play with my musical imagination, my hats off to you for producing great works (with the original concepts help of course). I can still remember leaving Xenogears open in the background while I did chores or cleaned my room because I thought the music was amazing. Now if you are able to come up with something on Final Fantasy VI opening with the Mech March. I have full faith that you'd do something amazing with it. ;) Bravo

Soooooo GOOOOOOOOD! WONDERFULLY DONE!

This gives me a lot of inspiration, keep it up

O M G ! This maybe the most amazing thing I've heard since the original ost's!

It feels like im dying and being reborn at the same while reliving Chrono Cross and Xenogears o_O

Omg, this is amazing! Chrono Cross and Xenogears were among my favorite games as a teen and I still love the music to this day. I think you did a marvelous job of blending their tracks together, especially considering one is a fantasy and the other is sci-fi.

Last night, I listened to this for the first time and it inspired me to write a screenplay for the final fight of Chrono Cross and freeing Schala. The music has that epic "movie" tone laced in it I can hear, so I had to write something. In it, Serge, Kid, and Guile enter the Darkness beyond Time, fight the Time Devourer, and free Schala. I added flashbacks to Chrono Trigger while she is talking and a more satisfying conclusion to Guile/Magus. I consider him Magus with his memory wiped because of the Dream Devourer, nobody is gonna tell me otherwise. I actually cried a bit while writing the scene between him and Schala. The music helped alot. Thank you for the amazing piece of work you did. Absolutely wonderful! :D
