And for those who don’t know, Yasunori Mitsuda worked himself so relentlessly on the soundtrack that he ended up developing stomach ulcers that required hospitalization. You know the soundtrack is good if the composer would rather be shitting blood than let his work be less than perfect.

highly recommend chrono symphonic as an interpretation of the incredible original.

My favorite was always Frog’s theme, alternating between the triumphant knightly and the devastatingly tragic (which perfectly fit the character). Ah, what a perfect game with a soundtrack to match!

I was walking around the Iowa State Fair for an hour last summer before I realized I was whistling the theme to the Millennium Festival.
