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.

[..YouTube..] Great theme! Thx for sharing.
[..YouTube..] memories
[..YouTube..] memories..
[..YouTube..] just as u like it ? :O
[..YouTube..] yes
[..YouTube..] She has the best character theme I’ve ever heard.
[..YouTube..] Superb!
[..YouTube..] Schala’s, Kid’s, and Magus’s themes are ALL superb..it must run in the family or somethinplus Zeal’s is awesome..
[..YouTube..] The greatest game ever made! This song brings back wonderful memories.
[..YouTube..] I love Schala.
[..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.
[..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.
[..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”
[..YouTube..] One of my favorite pieces of Music from a game.
[..YouTube..] i remember when i first heard this i stopped playing and just sat there to listen to it….
[..YouTube..] perfect…..
[..YouTube..] I love this theme!
[..YouTube..] Makes you wanna cry……
[..YouTube..] Thats when you know man. You enjoy a game and its music.
[..YouTube..] Nostalgic. Makes me wanna go back 12-13 years in time.
[..YouTube..] Fantastic theme, love it. Makes me want to replay Trigger.
[..YouTube..] Awsome! I finally found it. Wanted to hear this ever since I got the PS Version.
[..YouTube..] Unreal! Where’s Schala? I’ll be the hero….lol
[..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!
[..YouTube..] memories (=
[..YouTube..] love the music in this game… also love the music in c&c hell march ftw.
[..YouTube..] emotional.
[..YouTube..] Corridors of Time is a fantastic piece of music, as is this theme.
[..YouTube..] This is the kind of music that makes you want to write Magus fanfiction XD5/5
[..YouTube..] All the themes are fantastic and beautiful as well.
[..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.
[..YouTube..] Music in this game can do NO WRONG :OFantastic/10
[..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.
[..YouTube..] Could listen to this all day….and night.
[..YouTube..] I like this song because i like Schala
[..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.
[..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.
[..YouTube..] even better would be on the ps3 since its the most powerful system out there though i doubt thatd happen.
[..YouTube..] I love this theme song, but it hurts me that Queen Zeal took her away form Magus!Case you Queen Zeal! (Crying)
[..YouTube..] I agree, screw new rpgs, they dont have any charm like chrono and ff6 had. squaresoft fail!
[..YouTube..] Schala was amazing, I was gravely dissapointed by her appearance in Chrono Cross. They could have done so much more…
[..YouTube..] actually correction squaresoft didn’t fail it was Square-Enix
[..YouTube..] yeah true it was square-enix, but I guess thats when they started failing badly!
[..YouTube..] ah, this song brings tears to me eyes….so many good memories playing this game….
[..YouTube..] You know…. I can make a rap remix to this lol…. Remix with T-Pain coming out soon XDD
[..YouTube..] You know…. I can make a rap remix to this lol…. Remix with T-Pain coming out soon XDD
[..YouTube..] this makes me depressed and happy at the same time.
and yet my older brother lost our copy of it. :’-(
[..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.
[..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?
[..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
[..YouTube..] This is one of the most beautiful songs ever…
[..YouTube..] I believe it’s called “Burn! Bobonga!”
[..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.
[..YouTube..] you sure?
[..YouTube..] thanks man
[..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?
[..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.
[..YouTube..] So eerie yet so beautiful…
[..YouTube..] breath taking..
[..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
[..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.
[..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.
[..YouTube..] Why does she get her own theme?
[..YouTube..] Because she’s awesome.
[..YouTube..] aiii… eu adoro essa musica! Baixei e deixei ate no celular!!!
[..YouTube..] Good God…this is to good to be even true man… makes me cry.
[..YouTube..] And in the game, every time Schala shows up, this theme plays.
[..YouTube..] You know what I never understand? Why for gods sake does marle use a fire spell? Did I miss something?
[..YouTube..] If you still have the game, check out the triple tech “arc impulse”. As the cover shows, use Crono, Marle and Frog.
[..YouTube..] lol, look at my comment of FFVI’s “magitek research facility”, got more (-) than you did! I never type lol, but seriously I am lol-ing right now.
[..YouTube..] That was meant for tjdude09. Sorry…
[..YouTube..] Squaresoft didn”t fail, because enix joined them, the started sucking whenn they left Nintendo.
[..YouTube..] Actually my last comment wasnt meant for spam, but kinda just a random thought lol, this song is my second favorite song in the entire game. ( Second to The Black Omen) But Schala’s song actually set the tone of the events to come in the game for me. Truly a memorable song that like the game plays beyond the flow of time. Everytime I hear it I think back to my childhood. ( P.S.) This game scared the hell outta me as a kid with Lavos and the end of the world lol. (Played Game in 1998 Nov.)
[..YouTube..] I disagree there, the FF VII to FF X were great and very popular(I will also add great games like Chrono Cross, Vagrant Story and Xenogears). In fact they were a lot more popular than the SNES ones. But I guess everyone has his preference when it comes to RPGS.
[..YouTube..] awesome games, if you have an emulator I strongly recommend “Treasure Hunter G” it was the last squaresoft game before leaving nintendo.
[..YouTube..] was it any good? :O
[..YouTube..] no, he strongly recommends it just for fun
[..YouTube..] Who has a better theme? Magus? Or Schala?
[..YouTube..] Geez I feel stupid. What’s Magus’ real name again?
[..YouTube..] Janus is Magus’s real name
[..YouTube..] Oh yeah that’s right. Thanks!!
[..YouTube..] Schala for sure.
[..YouTube..] I’m getting goosebumps.
[..YouTube..] i heard a rumer that schala could be a playable character in the original shrono trigger
[..YouTube..] Burn! Bobonga! Burn!…According to Chrono Trigger DS.
[..YouTube..] magus hands down. the epic feel of it when you fight him in Magus’ Castle is simply amazing
[..YouTube..] Janus
[..YouTube..] both were beyond epic
[..YouTube..] Schala was probably the most debated subject back when Chrono Trigger first came out. I can tell you, no one has ever used Schala as a playable character. Regretably of course since she was my favorite characters.
[..YouTube..] I wish that they made her as a playable option if Glenn killed Janus.
[..YouTube..] The ambiance at that point makes me shiver. He’s creepy. VERY creepy. So why does beating him in his own turf seem so wrong after you win?
[..YouTube..] Oddly enough, the first time I heard this I thought of a snow level in Donkey Kong CountryAntiquity is partly snow, too
[..YouTube..] Yeah, I know what you mean. I guess after learning everything with the story, one almost feels sorry for Magus. Though, I think the saddest part was with the creater of the Epoch (can’t recall name atm). I probably shouldn’t say, since there may be some who are playing the game now for the first time. Still, pretty sad with him. Makes me not want to click the off switch.
[..YouTube..] Let’s see. According to Wikipedia, he’s Balthasar
[..YouTube..] this is my favorite song in the game.
[..YouTube..] omg spoiler alert lol XD
[..YouTube..] *gasp* Me too!
[..YouTube..] one of my favorite songs in gaming history
[..YouTube..] *spoilers*Schala was a central character in both games, Trigger and Cross. She was part of the reason everything happened, her and her pendant. And in both games she got awesome music
[..YouTube..] Music is very important for RPGsThe makers of Chrono Trigger were clearly well aware of this.
[..YouTube..] Id say it was the Gurus who put all of the events in motion if it wasent for their research none of this would have happned
[..YouTube..] Outstanding track from the Chrono Trigger OST. The music for the game gave it an edge and feel like no other RPG. Unforgetable story, best game out til this day in my opionion, id be very impressed if any writer or company would be able to top this epic game. In my opinionStory 9.8/10Gameplay 9.7/10Music 10/10
[..YouTube..] Oh, I love love love this! Favorite song in the game, possibily favorite song ever in any video game.
[..YouTube..] MAN!!!! i wish i had the original cartridge for the game ill can give all my money if i can get one
[..YouTube..] i have the original snes US version (together with the manual). how much do you have?
[..YouTube..] My opinionStory:8/10Gameplay:10/10Music:9/10Chrono Cross:Story:10/10Gameplay:8/10Music:20/10
[..YouTube..] Shala is Kid if I remember well?
[..YouTube..] My opinionStory:1/10Gameplay:1/10Music:-9/10lol
[..YouTube..] Troll harder, buddy.
[..YouTube..] once again, HUGE HUGE HUGE SPOILERS***yes and no. Kid is Schala’s clone, not really Schala herself. If I remember correctly Schala uses the time devourer to create a clone of herself in order to go back in time and “save” Serge from drowning. She does that because Serge is the one who would save her, so he must not die. Hence that’s the reason Serge has been dead in “Another world”, because Kid is unsuccessful and that’s why she exists in the parallel universe (becomes a thief).
[..YouTube..] and one more thing, It’s hard for me to understand why you gave Chrono Trigger a 9/10 in music but Chrono Cross 20/10. Both have excellent music but I think Trigger far surpasses Cross in music =\ i think most would agree with me.
[..YouTube..] YeahThis is subjectifBut I have a preference for CrossSorry for my bad english i’m french
[..YouTube..] I’ve never actually played this game except for a few minutes but i own the soundtrack and love it so much!! My friend loved this game and it’s weird cuz some of the songs make me want to cry…I watched my friend play and maybe that’s why
[..YouTube..] sleeeeeep goblin, just sleeeep now.
[..YouTube..] My opinionStory:+9000Gameplay::+9000Music:+9000
[..YouTube..] schala couldve SO wiped the floor with her mother its really too bad she didnttoo nice and forgiving for her own good but we love her anyways=3
[..YouTube..] it’s…..over….niNE……THOUSANDDD!!!!!!!!!
[..YouTube..] Awesome! It’s pretty catching!
[..YouTube..] Don’t those characters remind you about Mario, Peach, Yoshi and Bowser?
[..YouTube..] No.
[..YouTube..] *crushes the scouter*
[..YouTube..] PLAY IT
[..YouTube..] same troll
[..YouTube..] Vegeta would approve of this comment.
[..YouTube..] My favorite video game song of all time, from my favorite video game of all time. Schala was such a beautiful character.
[..YouTube..] WHAT! NINE THOUSAND!?
[..YouTube..] yeah It happened to schala almost the same as aeriththose 2 rules in their games!
[..YouTube..] hauntingly beautiful! thanks to Yasunori Mitsuda for creating such wonderful music
[..YouTube..] What does black wind mean anyway?
[..YouTube..] obama farted?
[..YouTube..] Lol so obama farted and one among you will shortly perish? nice one Janus-chan! xD
[..YouTube..] i love at 0:30…so haunting…
[..YouTube..] if you haven’t played this on the ds, you should. Or if you dont want to, just search for chrono trigger ds new ending here on youtube. Now i’m being a fanboy here, but the way square enix pulled this game out with a new ending that ties the storyline with chrono cross, makes me believe that they may be planning a true sequel for the ds.
[..YouTube..] Seriously one of the top 5 games ever made - and the music is a huge component… I listen to this a lot while revising at the moment and it’s amazing - don’t think I’ll ever get bored of it <3
[..YouTube..] For some reason, this reminds me of the cave theme from castlevania 4 >_>. Beautiful song though.
[..YouTube..] People have been clamoring for a new Chrono * game for a long time now. The closest we got was the securing a license for a game called “Chrono Break” which never happened. I’m doubtful that Square will release a new game. They haven’t put out a good product in a long time. The closest thing we got to a good product was when Final Fantasy X came out. And even that wasn’t too impressive. It’s probably better that they don’t come back and try to make a new game, now.
[..YouTube..] It is announced officially that they won’t be making more Chrono Trigger games. I think that is good, they would only ruin the good memories I have of that (those) game(s).
[..YouTube..] Do you have a link to a credible source that proves that?
[..YouTube..] I read that the Squaresoft won’t be making more, because they don’t have the original staff anymore. I am very sure that was a credible source. But, I don’t remember where that was xD Believe me or not, it won’t come out a single CT game from Squaresoft :/
[..YouTube..] Ah that’s right, I forgot about the Chrono staff leaving Square. Thinking about it now, they broke off from Square and created the MonolithSoft company–well, most of them. These were the same people who made Xenogears (and its much less successful “spiritual” sister series Xenosaga–by the way, play Xenogears if you haven’t already, it’s a fantastic title).I guess, then, it’s not unreasonable that Square wouldn’t make another game–the people who made it are gone.
[..YouTube..] Most of the original staff is has returned to square.
[..YouTube..] Well, aaanyway, another sequel to Chrono Trigger will not come in a zillion years from Square
[..YouTube..] Haha, I’m revising with this on too!
[..YouTube..] Schala, although you can’t have her in your party, she was my favorite character. She was so peaceful, and nice. Especially to the Earthbound Ones. It’s a shame her powers were abused.
[..YouTube..] And Xenogears is LOONNGGGG as f******. You’ll be playing that game for the entire summer, and loving every minute of it. :]
[..YouTube..] Well, the producers and such from Chrono have actually said that they would like to make another one if they could assemble all the key people together. Many of those key people have said they would like to make another one, too. It’s unlikely, and definately far off, but not impossible.
[..YouTube..] Indeed. I play through it about once a year. I’m still finding new stuff in every playthrough. Not so much as new “new,” but rather, stuff I didn’t notice before. Fantastic title <3
[..YouTube..] i’d like to direct you here:ds ign com/articles/992/992365p1 htmlperiods (.) instead of spacestl;dr Square-Enix says that the current chrono trigger ds sales are too low for them to make a new game.Once again, Square with its condescending treatment of fans. Maybe if they took a trip to the internets every once in a while, they’d realize what a huge fanbase there is for the chrono series. Also how much do you expect a 14yr old remake with no updates selling at $40 will sell?
[..YouTube..] however, they said that if they see the sales increase, then they will make a new chrono game. So guys, if you haven’t gotten the ds game because “the ds suxxors, i am the hartcorz with my snes” i suggest you swallow your pride and buy it. Maybe then square enix will see that there is a big enough fanbase for them to make that game. I am angry now, so i have to rant about how SqEnix has not brought soma bringer to the US D:
[..YouTube..] oops sorry, soma bringer is not made by square enix, it is made by monolith soft, which are square enix ex employees./rant
[..YouTube..] well i wonder how many people they expect to buy the same game 2-3 times (released on snes, psx, and now ds). people play the same game over and over again and want something differnet. And they fucked up with Chrono Cross, what a shit game
[..YouTube..] Not to be disrespectful or anything but, Queen Zeal abused her daughter
[..YouTube..] I hate Zenogears. Just saying, i know i started the game and was in some desert and kept getting in to fights every fucking 3 seconds, i said fuck it, trashed that shit.
[..YouTube..] Schala would have been an amazing party member!Imagine a party of Schala, Magus, and Frog/Chrono/or Robo….
[..YouTube..] I used to keep conversation with Schala on the screen without progressing just to keep hearing this beautiful song…
[..YouTube..] ok..maybe its been awhile since my last run through of CT, but…what happened to Schala?I mean..she closed that seal after the party dipped out of Zeal..so..where did she go? any ideas? It’s never explained right? If its never explained then CT will remain my fav game ever. I love mystery.
[..YouTube..] This song wasn’t played enough, since Schala’s time in the plot was far too short. :{}:
