This the theme song for Magus AKA Janus, Schala’s brother. I love the howling wind in the beginning, it defintely adds some atomshpere and tension of things to come. Frog insists on dropping Magus a visit due to a feud between the two. When Frog, also know as Glenn, was young, his friend named Cyrus always protected him. Cyrus was a knight and Frog aspired to be one just like Cyrus. One fateful day, Cyrus crossed Magus and Cyrus lost. Frog now has taken over Cyrus’ role of protecting Gaurdia from Magus and has vowed swift revenge against Magus. When you fight Magus the second time on the cliff in 12,000 B.C. you can choose to defeat him and fulfill Frog’s promise to revenge Cyrus. On the other hand, you can enlist Magus as a playable party member and gain access to his power dark magic. I normally would allow Magus to join because I like having more characters to choose from. This is not necessary but I like to try out new characters. If you defeat Magus, then Frog will turn into a Prince during the ending with a scene involving Marle. I guess the whole Princess turning the Frog back into a “Prince” still holds true, at least for Chrono Trigger.

[..YouTube..] i love this gamebut its kinda like dragon ball z
[..YouTube..] the artist that draws dragon ball designed the characters for Chrono Trigger
[..YouTube..] This was badass epic music.
[..YouTube..] god, what a badass boss fight that was, took me 3 tries
[..YouTube..] Yeah, Akira Toriyama (Someone please correct me if I spelled that wrong) worked with squaresoft on qute a few occasion. The Dragon quests series, for instance.
[..YouTube..] I remember doing this fight when I was younger, me and my little brother were actually scared every time we tried it.
[..YouTube..] the best
[..YouTube..] when i first fought magus that was the best music in the game and then i kicked his ass
[..YouTube..] Chrono Trigger was developed by a group that Square called the “Dream Team”, consisting of Hironobu Sakaguchi, Kazuhiko Aoki, and composer Nobuo Uematsu—known for their works on the Final Fantasy series—and Yuuji Horii and artist Akira Toriyama, developers for the Dragon Quest series. Masato Kato wrote most of the plot, while composer Yasunori Mitsuda scored most of the game before falling ill and deferring his duties to Uematsu.Masato Kato also wrote Xenogears and Chrono Cross among others
[..YouTube..] I’m impressed, you got the names of the dream team.
[..YouTube..] You know, I’ve come up with a strange theory about magus. I don’t think that he’s laughing in his song/throughout his castle. I think what you’re actually hearing is him cry, to a degree. Think about it, he’s not evil, he’s sad, and pissed that he’s been separated from the one person who kept him sane, his sister.
[..YouTube..] pretty sure it’s just wind
[..YouTube..] You are just kidding right?
[..YouTube..] if you’re referring to that odd sound that plays during the “battle with magus” music no. but we could be thinking of 2 different things.and why would magus be crying? maybe when he was Janus, seeing his entire world torn asunder. however as magus, i would think he’d grown out of his crying stage and gained the composure to try to destroy what he believed destroyed his family/life.
[..YouTube..] Good point. But it’s not like Magus to laugh either. The music could be a metaphor for his feelings, or it could just be him laughing.
[..YouTube..] that’s possible! only reason i considered it wind is because before the fight he’ll say “the black wind blows…”
[..YouTube..] No no no. I’m not refering to the sound in the beginning. that is undoubtably wind. i’m talking about what can be heard in the background a few times at 1:02, 1:05, and 1:09. (Excluding the song repeat)
[..YouTube..] Yeah, I don’t think he’s crying. He’s been lost in time for YEARS now. Has he been crying all that time?
[..YouTube..] If history is to change, let it change! Ifthe world is to be destroyed, so be it!If my fate is to be destroyed…I must simply laugh!!I’m coming, Lavos!
[..YouTube..] That is definitely a cry. Of what or whom I can’t say. But I think it could be someone in the throes of death or agony. Janus (as Magus) is Shadow-elemental, and so many of his attacks manipulate the powers of death and darkness.
[..YouTube..] God I hated fighting Magus. I used crono, lucca and frog to get all three elements on my side in case Magus used any water, fire or lighting attacks. After that little caper, I had to use normal attacks because it was useless using magic against him seeing as though he uses barrier. Then the bastard uses darkmatter and killed me off. GARGH!!!!
[..YouTube..] batlle against magus was the greates battle EVER! and it was second scariest! lavos was the scariest….
[..YouTube..] Lol @ Marle using Fire. xD
[..YouTube..] this game is so much better than final fantasy 7, but people fail to realize it for some reason.
[..YouTube..] I played trigger while i was younger and my older brother was playing it. i was scared of the game but couldnt help but watch him own the whole game O_O crono trigger really digs deap… final fantasy 7 i played when i was a teen, it was just as good. although the music isn’t as memorable as ct is, gameplay stuck more than ff7… i love both games, but ct owns it hands down.
[..YouTube..] best theme in the game,
[..YouTube..] The black wind howls…
[..YouTube..] One among you……will shortly perish.
[..YouTube..] Good memorys… For sure Top 5 all time best battle themes <3 this game
[..YouTube..] Here’s the quick and dirty way to kick his ass. Pack lots of revives. Make sure that you’ve got the second version of your chosen element magic, (Water 2, Lightning 2, etc) and make sure that you’ve got either lots of healing potions, or Marle in the party. Trust me. The healing. It will come in VERY handy. During the bits where he has a barrier up that you can’t get through, take advantage of the time, and heal up. Because gods knows he won’t let you heal up any other time.
[..YouTube..] His barrier tech only rsists magic but yeah that’s a great idea! I just use double tech like X strike and fire whirl…..
[..YouTube..] FF7 en CT are both sheer genious games only I like the music in CT better, but still you cannot compare a PS1 game to a Snes game
[..YouTube..] Awesome AND epic!
[..YouTube..] What about One-Winged Angel?
[..YouTube..] You got whacked cuz you’re weak.
[..YouTube..] someone should post the tyranno’s lair music that was badass…
[..YouTube..] Best. Boss. Theme. Ever.
[..YouTube..] If history is to change, let it change!If the world is to be destroyed, so be it!If my fate is to be destroyed, I must simply laugh!!In short of what Magus was saying:- SHIT HAPPENS!!! LOL!!!!
[..YouTube..] i always keep with Crono, Robo and Frog cause of the “healing-all” techs Robo and Frog have, and because of the Triple Raid when he begins to use Dark Matter.one of the best battle themes btw
[..YouTube..] “The black wind begins to blow…”Awesome theme song is awesome.
[..YouTube..] 1:02-1:04I just noticed there was faint, creepy laughter in the background. O_O
[..YouTube..] I always hear that noise as zombie moaning for some odd reason…
[..YouTube..] i love this songon chrono triggerand brings bak alot of memories
[..YouTube..] Give it your best shot, IF YOU’RE PREPARED FOR THE VOID!
[..YouTube..] This battle is so amazing. Those old RPG’s really knew how to build drama into a battle - crazy dark background with creepy candles lighting the way, then brand new unique battle music for the fight. Damn this game was good!
[..YouTube..] Love it!!!
[..YouTube..] I always try and learn that catch phrase when im pissed. lol
[..YouTube..] Magus: I must kill my Monther Queen Zeal because she is the one who took me away for my sister!(Magus goes to kill Queen Zeal)Magus I know you find you sister!
[..YouTube..] this game is so fucking amazing the music game play and everything was awesome and i think that square enix is making a remake for the ds
[..YouTube..] Indeed they are.
[..YouTube..] Neuga, Ziena, Zieber, Zom…Now the chosen time has come…Exchange this world for…!Frog: Magus!!Magus: I…It’s that stupid frog! Kissed any princesses lately?!Frog: I rather enjoy this form. And I oweth it all to you!
[..YouTube..] Frog: I have something for you!Magus: Ah…! The Masamune!!! I bet you’re just dying to use it!Magus: The black wind begins to blow… Okay…give me your best shot…Magus: If you’re prepared for the void!
[..YouTube..] My comment didn’t turn out the way I wanted it to.
[..YouTube..] failure
[..YouTube..] Frog: I am prepared for the void, and with this sword I will cast thee back into the dark chasm from whence you came!!!Magus: But can you take this, the dreaded Dark Matter? (casts Dark Matter for over 200 damage per person)Party: Uwaaah! ===Too many memories….
[..YouTube..] If you have Lucca plus all three level-2 attack spells, you can use a Triple Tech that gives you Shadow damage. Crono/Lucca/Marle have a similar 3-way spell.
[..YouTube..] Scratch that, it turned out exactly the way I wanted it to.
[..YouTube..] Crono:(Oh great! I think I got some Dark Matter up my pants!)
[..YouTube..] “If History is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If it is my fate to die, then I must simply laugh”Best videogame quote EVER!
[..YouTube..] This Song Gives Me Goose Bumps every Time I Hear It…This Game Is To Awsome! I Demand A Remake! LmaoI lIke Magus Tho…heh my fave chracter
[..YouTube..] In FF3, at the part where the girl(Terra) is with Vicks and Wedge on the cliff, you can hear the Black Wind howl, although they try and trick you by putting it in multiple times, overlapping each other. But I’m too smart for that! I know which wind is really blowing Square Soft!Kinda wrong place to put this but I couldn’t think of anywhere better.
[..YouTube..] prepare thee demon to go back forth from which you came, that i will make sure! Hence forth demon, this world shall ever change from thy death. Are ye prepared? I think not. (haha sorry i got in the mood from the quotes i wanted to say somethin random.)
:D
[..YouTube..] fucker
[..YouTube..] fucker
[..YouTube..] Oh, how dreadful. Can you hear it? That’s the sound of the Reaper… (My #1 quote from the game… it fits the character of the one who said it really well.)
[..YouTube..] The black wind blows.If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If it is my fate to die, then I must simply laugh. I’m coming for you Lavos!Play with fire, and you’re gonna get burned.
[..YouTube..] That box cover is so badass.
[..YouTube..] I was just thinking that.
[..YouTube..] They’re remaking it for DS I hear.
[..YouTube..] i dont want it for ds i want it for ps2 or 3 or even x box
that would be awsome and i think it’s gonna be the same as it was before there jus putting it on the ds..idk but i’d still love it more if it was on a console
[..YouTube..] Best Quote ever.
[..YouTube..] wow, i love this song!!!
[..YouTube..] this is awesome! may be my fave song from ct!
[..YouTube..] This is my favoret song in all of Chrono’s Trigger. It has a fiendish beat to it and me likes anything fiendish and or anti-hero.
[..YouTube..] the black winds blow.
[..YouTube..] man, magus\janus was so badass! he was a little cheesy sometimes though…”kissed any princesses lately?!?
[..YouTube..] They are adding a new dungion and 2 player multi-pack online play, (which I have no idea how that will work) But other than that, everything else is the same, sounds, music, graphics, everything : D
[..YouTube..] Magus… The one who is neither an enlightened one nor an earthbound one. He is something more…Will he ever find Schala? We’ll never know. It isn’t even certain if he’s supposed to die by the hands of frog or not. I like to think however that Magus survives.
[..YouTube..] 49-1:01, is the Pride of my Existance.
[..YouTube..] This song has kind of a Latin sound to it!
[..YouTube..] Sadly, he never finds Schala. :’(Unless they make a remake of Chrono Cross and add him in as a secret character and give him secret ending.
[..YouTube..] Gah, epic XD
[..YouTube..] I remember Magus used to kick my ass XD !
[..YouTube..] I think in “Radical Dreamers”, a little known game for the Satellaview add-on for the Nintendo Super Famicom, Magus appeared in disguise as the character named Gil, who was the basis for Guile in “Chrono Cross”, though “Radical Dreamers” was eventually de-canonized and Guile’s secret identity as Magus was also scrapped due to plot difficulties. I wonder, however, if anything nice happens if you win “Chrono Cross” and save Schala with Guile in your team, or keep him & Kid on all the time.
[..YouTube..] I beat CC like 560+ times with different character combos at different times in the game.There was no difference or special ending.
[..YouTube..] by far the best music in the game.very epic.
[..YouTube..] unlimited..
[..YouTube..] we shall share that Pride
[..YouTube..] Guile/Alf(Alfador, the cat) in Japanese was originally designed as a teenage Magus who was still on his endless quest for Schala/Sarah but writing the the slightest hint of Chrono Trigger was TOO complicated for the whiney punks and he became a background character. Amusingly enough, in Radical Dreams he is described as being able to assume the form of a shadow. Next time you visit Luccia to read the letter from Lucca who mentions “Janus” look for the extra 4th shadow tailing your own group. Ah?
[..YouTube..] who played the original game
[..YouTube..] Lol I still remember what Magus says to Crono after you revive him.”you got whacked ‘cuz you’re weak.”
[..YouTube..] I remember being scared to walk closer to Magus with his little cirle of candels and death. :{Only reason I went up to him was for this song!
[..YouTube..] Gravimiteyeah any normal person would be if they were sucked into the story to the point where reality and gaming become one in your mind. I loved the game so much I recommended this game to the Irate gamer to try out.
[..YouTube..] GODonACIDya it is some of the best music in the game but I like the lavos battle music inner core part1 of 2.
[..YouTube..] Doesn’t this song play whenever you let Magus be in your party at the End of Time?
[..YouTube..] when I first played this game, I thought Magus was the final boss. Magus is the second longest boss to fight (without playing New Game+).
