Symphonic Fantasies - Fantasy III: Chrono Trigger/Cross

Dear Gamers,


Exploring the web, looking for videogame musical arrangements, I stumbled upon 'Symphonic Fantasies', one of several Symphonic Game Concerts. Kingdom Hearts, Secret of Mana, Chrono Series and Final Fantasy Series. Result: I was completely blown away upon listening to each piece, especially the Chrono series one. 


I'm no expert music critic, but the feelings these pieces evoke are strong and unique. I especially like the moment when they combine 'People seized with Life' and 'To far away times'. Too beautiful to express with words. 

The pieces make you feel so much... going in a profound adventure, reminiscing your gaming experience, feeling the weight of a future that was never meant to be, and even the feelings the people that were erased from history. The story was way too complex, but if followed, it delivered a very, very deep meaning. 

Chrono Series really have some of the best pieces of music in gaming history.
