Read Full BioYasunori Mitsuda (光田 康典 Mitsuda Yasunori, born January 21, 1972) is a Japanese composer, sound designer, and musician. He is best known for his work for developer Squaresoft (now Square Enix), having composed the scores for their role-playing video games Chrono Trigger (1995), its sequel Chrono Cross (1999), and Xenogears (1998). A self-affirmed minimalist, Mitsuda's influences include jazz, classical, and Asian (Indian and Japanese) ethnic music.
Born in Tokuyama, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, Mitsuda began studying the piano at the age of five. By chance, he noticed a job advertisement for sound production for Squaresoft in an issue of Famitsu; despite a self-described "disastrous" interview with Squaresoft head composer 植松伸夫, in which he admitted he considered the job only a stepping stone to further his career and that he had never played Square's most famous games, such as Final Fantasy, executives were sufficiently impressed with his demo that he was hired as sound staff in 1992.
The release of Chrono Cross marked the beginning of his career as a freelance artist, which he continues to be, releasing both video game soundtracks and other original works under his own label, Procyon Studio. Other famous works of Mitsuda's include Mario Party, the Shadow Hearts series, and Xenosaga, a spiritual successor to Xenogears.

Chrono Trigger: Main Theme
光田康典 Lyrics
We have lyrics for these tracks by 光田康典:
Radical Dreamers 幼い手につつんだ ふるえてるその光を ここまでたどってきた 時間のふちをさまよい さがしつづけてきたよ 名前さえ…
予感 どうせ 嫌われるなら 思いきり 嫌われたい 飾り立てた そのやさしさよりも 一つの真実(ほんとう)が 聞きたい いつ…
海と炎の絆 Your fingertips moving gently to my heart The force of life…
The lyrics can frequently be found in the comments below or by filtering for lyric videos.

@Магжан Жаксылык If Crono was a dlc character, who would all the Chrono Trigger dlc Spirits be on the Spirit Board?
Here’s what I think:
Marle (novice): neutral type. You start off with a freezie at the start of the battle, and take slightly less damage from water attacks.
Lucca (novice): attack type. You start off with a ray gun. Slightly reduces fire damage.
Robo (advanced): shield type. Increases physical melee attacks like punches while also increasing physical defense.
Ayla (advanced): attack type. Increases physical mele attacks.
Frog (ace): grab type. You start off with a killing blade and take less damage from water attacks. If you’re playing Hero, your crit rate increases from 12.5% to 23%.
Magus (ace): attack type. You start off the battle with Death’s Scythe and have an increased magic attack.
Schala (ace): neutral type. Increases magic attack while reducing magic damage.
Lavos (ace): neutral type. Can be enhanced at level 99.
Lavos Core (legend): neutral type. Makes you a giant for a while at the start of battle.

This is the first orchestral arrangement I like of this piece. The other ones sound so artificial while this sounds very organic.
Underappreciated!
Lavos
Somehow this sounds better than both OFFICIAL orchestrates of the main theme. That says a lot
Crus
very true
Encrypted Ronin
Agreed!
ferroth
your profile picture is amazing

I feel that if Chrono Trigger were made today, this is exactly what the developers would have wanted this theme to sound like. It perfectly portrays the adventure ahead.
And also kind of sounds like Smash Bros.Apolion
God... I would have killed for a mii costume of Crono at least...
Apolion
@Bathtub Barracuda oh please, people still want "generic anime swordfighters", what they really don't want is more fire emblems characters, if that wasn't the case, Sora wouldn't have been the most requested character in the ballot
Bathtub Barracuda
@First Name Last Name on top of that, smash already has tons of generic anime swordsmen
