Schala’s Theme: Chrono Trigger Music

I recently posted the theme for Magus so I decided to put Schala’s up now since they are both related. Magus AKA Janus is Schala’s brother. Schala is one of the more popular characters because she is one of the few who reluctantly fed the Mammon Machine that was draining the palace of its power. Even though her mother, the Queen of Zeal, forced her to feed the machine, Schala eventually refused but it was too late. Queen Zeal had been corrupted with the power of the machine but Schala saw through the machine’s evil grip and could no longer support her mother in using it to bring supposed prosperity to Zeal. Lavos has reawakened and will wreck havoc unless our heroes can stop it. Magus who disguised himself as a prophet returned to Zeal in 12,000 BC in hopes of destroying Lavos once reawakened from its slumber.

  11. 11 IntuitionJo

    [..YouTube..] This song can only be desrcibed as an oasis. It’s what it sounds like. Schala’s theme is truly one of the best video game musics- no. Musics EVER.

  12. 12 MacavityF

    [..YouTube..] Can you put up “Time Circuits” too? I think it goes great with “Schala’s Theme” and are arguably two of the greatest video game themes of all time.

  13. 13 MacavityF

    [..YouTube..] Never mind. I just realized the song is actually titled “Corridors of Time.” I don’t know why I thought always thought it was called “Time Circuits”

  14. 14 Raven7283

    [..YouTube..] One of my favorite pieces of Music from a game.

  22. 22 AdonisNinja

    [..YouTube..] Awsome! I finally found it. Wanted to hear this ever since I got the PS Version.

  23. 23 inUTUBEitrust

    [..YouTube..] Unreal! Where’s Schala? I’ll be the hero….lol

  24. 24 shiftstart

    [..YouTube..] Start whistling at 30:00. Then reapeat whistling at 120:00 the say theme and don’t worry about it catching up. It give a nice delay! ;)

  25. 25 samtownllxD

    [..YouTube..] memories (=

  26. 26 Makonu2

    [..YouTube..] love the music in this game… also love the music in c&c hell march ftw.

  27. 27 master0005

    [..YouTube..] emotional.

  28. 28 jongo2142

    [..YouTube..] Corridors of Time is a fantastic piece of music, as is this theme.

  29. 29 TheMoogleking

    [..YouTube..] This is the kind of music that makes you want to write Magus fanfiction XD5/5

  30. 30 Hoochie2122

    [..YouTube..] All the themes are fantastic and beautiful as well.

  31. 31 Hoochie2122

    [..YouTube..] When my brother played this, I would always watch because I just loved the graphics, characters, etc, but when I hear this music or any other music, I would just close my eyes and listen to it and hope that my brother would stay in that moment of the game for just a few more minutes…LOL.This music gives me serious chills, the good kind though. ;)

  32. 32 reallyfun

    [..YouTube..] Music in this game can do NO WRONG :OFantastic/10

  33. 33 fudawg45

    [..YouTube..] Man, screw new RPG’s. They’ll never come close to the absolute genius that was this game and FFVI/VII. Imagine how amazingly badass remakes of those three games could be with the same storyline, same characters, same music, but all just updated with killer 3D graphics. One can only dream.

  34. 34 Juhozki

    [..YouTube..] Could listen to this all day….and night.

  35. 35 Lopuzaxxx

    [..YouTube..] I like this song because i like Schala

  36. 36 Merknilash

    [..YouTube..] Could you imagine a square production that was a full out 3d remake of CT and FF6 on next-gen systems like Wii?I’d probably die of a huge nerdgasm.

  37. 37 heyjo0205

    [..YouTube..] ahh… i just finished playing this on an emulator, and the game just is nostalgic… i want to be in that kind of world… maybe live in 600AD or 12000BC in Zeal… the music is equally awesome in final fantasy 4,6 and secret of mana 2 and 3.

  38. 38 Mohsinn

    [..YouTube..] even better would be on the ps3 since its the most powerful system out there though i doubt thatd happen.

  39. 39 Cortex20006

    [..YouTube..] I love this theme song, but it hurts me that Queen Zeal took her away form Magus!Case you Queen Zeal! (Crying)

  40. 40 FloMonKish

    [..YouTube..] I agree, screw new rpgs, they dont have any charm like chrono and ff6 had. squaresoft fail!

  41. 41 HatterM106

    [..YouTube..] Schala was amazing, I was gravely dissapointed by her appearance in Chrono Cross. They could have done so much more…

  42. 42 chunicone

    [..YouTube..] actually correction squaresoft didn’t fail it was Square-Enix

  43. 43 FloMonKish

    [..YouTube..] yeah true it was square-enix, but I guess thats when they started failing badly!

  44. 44 jajer

    [..YouTube..] ah, this song brings tears to me eyes….so many good memories playing this game….

  45. 45 tjdude09

    [..YouTube..] You know…. I can make a rap remix to this lol…. Remix with T-Pain coming out soon XDD

  46. 46 tjdude09

    [..YouTube..] You know…. I can make a rap remix to this lol…. Remix with T-Pain coming out soon XDD

  47. 47 Fabiusbile12

    [..YouTube..] this makes me depressed and happy at the same time. :( :) and yet my older brother lost our copy of it. :’-(

  48. 48 sabombardonist

    [..YouTube..] A bigger one would be if they did a remake of FF7 for PSP, but that’s unlikely… It would make the system sell, though.

  49. 49 chunicone

    [..YouTube..] man…do you remember the hunting grounds?do you remember the music that played there while you were in a battle what is that called?

  50. 50 RegretfulSins

    [..YouTube..] -_- that would kill this song in five seconds flat, I hate when people do that. It kills the originality of the music only to have stupid lyrics in them. Like when they re-mixed Numb by Linkin Park for some stupid song, that pissed me off. >D

  51. 51 RaikouseiFavorites

    [..YouTube..] This is one of the most beautiful songs ever…

  52. 52 Raikousei

    [..YouTube..] I believe it’s called “Burn! Bobonga!”

  53. 53 darroth42

    [..YouTube..] man, schala felt so out of place to me… she was like finding a saint in hell… i liked her, and i wish she had had a better life.

  54. 54 chunicone

    [..YouTube..] you sure?

  55. 55 chunicone

    [..YouTube..] thanks man

  56. 56 MacavityF

    [..YouTube..] Does anyone have any theories as to why the quality of the 16-bit RPG soundtracks utterly destroys anything that’s come out since?

  57. 57 SlowAndSteady2

    [..YouTube..] My only objection to that question is XENOGEARS OST! Yasunori Mitsuda’s “Immortal” soundtrack.Chrono Trigger OST is a nanometer behind Xenogears OST.And, hm, well…Nobuo Uematsu quit…I think Yasunori may have quit even before him…seeing as the two bothed worked together on Chrono Trigger I’d say that’s where it all the talent went, for the most part; there are exceptions.

  58. 58 zephyr3x3

    [..YouTube..] So eerie yet so beautiful…

  59. 59 ftxDubfire

    [..YouTube..] breath taking..

  60. 60 peoswriter1

    [..YouTube..] That’s an interesting question. I wonder if it has to do with companies having less to work with back in the day and having to be more creative to get the results they want. You couldn’t fake an epic feeling by layering on a lot of chanting voices, for example. The rhythm had to carry the emotions because the instruments and technology

  61. 61 peoswriter1

    [..YouTube..] (whoops) …where more limited. Kind of like big-budget how action movies can rely on slick special effects and neglect the story and characters but still succeed. Small budget movies have to nail the subtle elements of movie-making because they can’t afford the glitz. It’s just my guess, but I think that’s why some of the old music (CT in particular) excels despite comparatively limited resources.

  62. 62 MacavityF

    [..YouTube..] Yeah, that’s certainly a plausible theory and I like your analogy to big budget movies. I definitely get the sense that composers get incredibly lazy now given they have much more sophisticated synthesizers and think, for example, they can haphazardly throw together a bunch of chants and pass it off as an epic, emotionally moving piece. Maybe it works on some people, but I’ve been turned off by almost everything to come out post 16-bit.

  63. 63 PTp1ranha

    [..YouTube..] Why does she get her own theme?

  64. 64 Gravimite

    [..YouTube..] Because she’s awesome.

  65. 65 fgomesangra

    [..YouTube..] aiii… eu adoro essa musica! Baixei e deixei ate no celular!!!

  66. 66 RhanC777

    [..YouTube..] Good God…this is to good to be even true man… makes me cry.

  67. 67 thekhai

    [..YouTube..] And in the game, every time Schala shows up, this theme plays.
