A Beautiful Soundtrack

The Chrono Cross OSV was considered ground-breaking, being one of the first RPG titles to have a soundtrack that borders on orchestrated in spite of being mostly synthesized. The music even includes "accidentals" like the sound of fingers sliding on guitar strings.
Mitsuda combines a variety of different cultural themes into the music, including Celtic, Arabian, classical and traditional Japanese. The music also retains hints and reminders of the original Chrono Trigger soundtrack, which is wonderful for those who loved the earlier game. It is all very well written and though some of it can be very calm and relaxing, other pieces will definitely get your feet tapping.
Though most of the music attracts players of the games, for the nostalgia and love of the game and its story, the album also stands alone. It's innovative and creative, and contains diverse themes that anyone can appreciate.
