Yasunori Mitsuda is the man credited to the epic musical score ofChrono Trigger, which was actually his first big gig. No one will argue that he knocked that one out of the park. He then followed with bigger and even more epic scores, including ones forChrono Cross, Xenogearsand theXenosagagames. Now he’s a legend in game music, and he owes it all to his 16-bit stylings inChrono Trigger.
OriginalSoundVersion was able to chat with Mitsuda on his work for theNintendo DS port ofChrono Trigger. When asked about his involvement, Mitsuda responded:
When Square released the PS version ofChrono Trigger, the fans got quite angry because of my lack of involvement. That’s why Square Enix decided to call me up for the DS version.
