  Every time that people talk about Chrono Cross’s soundtrack (it’s great by the way, I agree with you), this reminds me a little SNES game called Radical Dreamers. The soundtrack - largely shared with Chrono Cross - is perhaps its biggest selling point.

    Wait…are Chrono Cross and Radical dreamers different games?

    I have this in my Steam library rn, yet to play.

      Yes, Radical Dreamers is a visual novel and between Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross. But they got released together on Steam, which is what you are linking to.

      Radical Dreamers is like the prequel. It came out on SNES. Chrono Cross was a PlayStation game.

    I think I played a ROM of that when I was younger! It’s the text based game right?

      Yup! Frankly it isn’t a really great visual novel, but the soundtrack is fire.

  100% agreed.

  For me ‘Dream of the Shore Near Another World’ is the best piece, it’s otherworldly serenity just hits the perfect notes for me.

  Although directly behind it is the intro theme, which screams ADVENTURE to me.
