The Chrono Trigger Original Sound Version is a musical soundtrack from the video game Chrono Trigger. There are a variety of soundtracks for this game including the Original Sound Track available as well as many symphonic versions.

Yasunori Mitsuda was the composer of most of the original soundtrack, with contributions by Nobuo Uematsu. Uematsu composed "Silent Light," "Mystery of the Past," "People Who Threw Away the Will to Live," "Bike Chase," "Underground Sewer," "Primitive Mountain," "Burn! Bobonga!," "Tyran Castle," "Sealed Door," and "Demo - Mystery of the Past"; he also arranged "Boss Battle 1," composed by Noriko Matsueda.

Several versions of the album exist, all of which combine the Chrono Trigger logo and the Japanese text along side it. The FXCD-016 version features several fx insignias, lacks the text under "Chrono Trigger Original Sound Version" as seen in the cover art screen shot, and lacks the TM letters next to the Chrono Trigger logo.

[edit] Additional Game Tracks

The following track is present in the cartridge data but was not actually used until the PlayStation version. It is not available on any soundtrack.

  • Rat-a-tat-tat It's...Mitsuda

The beta version of the game has a slightly different soundtrack. These early tracks are not in the final ROM as music tracks (some are used as sound effects, and one has a tune plus sound effect). They include:

  • (untitled)
  • (unknown battle theme)
  • Battle 1 (remix)
  • Before Lavos
  • Bells
  • Drips
  • Heartbeat (fast)
  • Heartbeat (slow)
  • Keeper's Dome
  • Lavos Prepares to Emerge
  • Lose
  • Mystic Chanting
  • Overlooking Guardia Millennial Fair
  • Receive Money
  • Time Portal Opens
  • Traveling Through Time
  • Wind

Additionally, one more unused song exists solely in the Japanese cartridge of the final game. A fanfare, its instrumentation was removed before the game was shipped, meaning the only way to listen to it is to manually assign instruments through codes.

Additionally, Yasunori Mitsuda composed four new songs for the Playstation release. These are not available on any soundtrack:

  • One Sunny Day When We Met
  • Scattering Blossoms
  • A Meeting with Destiny
  • Time To Rest - After the Battle


[edit] Sound Tracks

Various soundtracks and remastered compositions include the following:

  • Chrono Trigger '99 (orchestral rearrangements)
  • The Brink of Time (jazz remixes)
  • Chrono Trigger Official Soundtrack: Music from Final Fantasy Chronicles [2] (remade tracks)
  • Chrono Symphonic (Available for free download via bittorrent [1])
