Chrono Symphonic

Symphonic requires an Orchastra IMO... nothing against the countless hours spent on the project

but still some good work by a bunch of people
 
This reminds me. What ever happened to the Chrono Cross Arrange Album that was supposed to have come out last summer?

lol, you just verbalized what my mind was thinking when I saw this topic.

edit: I found this, it is not the chrono cross arrange album, not sure if someone posted it before, but nice music on the front page. sleigh bells? Mitsuda collaborated on a christmas album???

What he said.
 
It's all Chrono Trigger.

I just finished listening to it front to back, and I gotta say that it's fantastic.

Even the artwork provided with the music is very well done.

Sure if you wanna be technical, calling it symphonic is a little much as there's no symphony, but boy it sure doesn't matter.
 
There's some really really good stuff in there. I don't recall hearing most of them on OCremix though. Were they originally posted there? Can't remember
 
Great tunes...first one I downloaded is just awesome: Track 8 Hymn of Valor...I love the Guardia tune and this is nice arrangement.
 
Nice songs, some being surprisingly close to actual orchestral arrangements I'd say. The last song was a bit too ambitious though, because to me it sounds like the girl is singing in Japanese without actually knowing how to pronounce Japanese in a believable way...sounds too...I dunno, stale and sharp. Should've gone with English only IMO.
 
Mitsuda commented in a fairly recent interview, IIRC, that the Chrono Cross Arrange Album was definitely happening, only that it would continue to be awhile.
 
They put a lot of work into this but I don't like these rearranged songs, doesn't sound like the actual orchestral arrangements to me either. I hate the fact that I can barely hear the orignal songs in some of these rearrangements and in some of the eariler tunes the introductions go on for way to long. Also, even the darkest songs sound light-hearted... I didn't like it.

*goes back to looping the orignal OST and actual orchestral arrangements*
 
Just listened to the first CD. Pretty disappointed with most of it except for one track (Darkest Omens, and it's old) and I'm a big fan of OC remixes. How they managed to mess up Frog's theme I have no idea. Onto the second CD, they better not mess up Time Circuits..

Update: CD 2 is more of the same. Time circuit remix was TERRIBLE. The remixes, for the most part, just seem to have missed the feeling of the original songs. I did like the last song though(also old), but Kiriku is right, she should have stuck to English.

My absolute favorite (and much better IMO) remix of the Zeal theme:
Time Chill

Another good one, remix of "Memories of Green":
Green Amnesia
