Radical Dreamers: Nusumenai Hōseki (Japanese: Radical Dreamers -盗めない宝石-, lit. "Radical Dreamers: The Unstealable Jewel") is a Japanese video game produced by Square (now Square Enix) in 1996 for the Satellaview add-on for the Nintendo Super Famicom. It is a text-based visual novel in which the player takes the role of Serge, a young adventurer accompanied by Kid, a teen-aged thief, and Gil, a mysterious masked magician.
The game belongs to the Chrono series and is a gaiden, or side story, to the 1995 game Chrono Trigger. It was released to complement its predecessor's plot, and later served as inspiration for Chrono Cross. It features text-based gameplay with minimal graphics and sound effects, and was scored by composer Yasunori Mitsuda.
Arranged by kabukibear. His tab can be found here: www.gametabs.ne...

its very good but it feels a little slow compared to the real song. If you prefer the song to be a little slower I suppose its best. or just put the video on 1.25 speed xD

The saddest thing for those that know...is that Serge and Kid will always be like two ships in the night, ever passing each other and never knowing.

yeah such a hollow / empty ending for that game, not necessarily a bad thing but it definitely leaves a desire for resolution. We got this and many other good songs out of it though.

@@JohnnyDarko01 IMO the entire game was hollow and empty... at least from the perspective of being a sequel to chrono trigger. I hate the DS version of CT basically adding new content to retcon and "better" connect CT and CC. Among the many mistakes CC made IMO other than not fully commit to being a "true" sequel, adding 45+ mostly forgettable "playable" characters. IMO a smaller roster of 6-7 characters like in CT would have allowed them to actually create more combo techs to keep it not only more interesting but also in line with favored elements from CT. Moreover, with the extra space saved with the lower roster, they could have actually included magus either as a playable character or at least as a major element of the story... you know the story about rescuing schala... you know schala, his sister, the only unresolved plot point of CT and the one character most concerned with saving her outside of maybe the 1000 A.D. Crew... Speaking of the 1000 A.D. Crew, they even killed all of them, but not even directly, mostly implied, to include robo who was hardwired into mother brain as potentially a fail safe to prevent her from going kill all humans like her 2300 A.D. post apocalypse version had, except in CC's main story we see mother brain "eliminating traitor circuit Prometheus" Prometheus aka robo... Don't get me wrong, it was a great game, amazing music, even enjoyed the unique battle system, but also hate it as its both a sequel and not.

The japanese have some magic that some of the music they compose makes us feel longing for something that we don't even know what, but it's beautiful and deeply emotional nonetheless. Like a life we lived, but we can't remember.

I randomly stumbled upon this video like half a year ago, two days later I bought a guitar and midterms started, was a fun week. Since then I've been learning how to play the guitar, the first song I actually learned was star stealing girl/the girl who stole a star (depending on the translation) since radical dreamers was too hard, since then I've constantly been learning new songs of increasing difficulty while all the time seeing if I am at the level where I can play this yet. I feel like I've gotten really close lately, barres still screw me over constantly and my tempo is all over the place but it doesn't feel as impossible as it was when I started, and whenever I felt burned out because my fingers hurt or because I felt like they are too short to accomplish anything I come back here and listen, then the next day I'm pumped up for it all over again. So I want to say thank you for ruining my midterms and splitting the small free time I had even more, I'll never regret it, and you together with kabuki bear are my heroes

I've played for years and it was still hard but I normally play with my guitar downtuned a whole step and at some point just started playing it at the same pitch using bar chords and starting at open A string (G) instead of following online tabs and it flows better and sounds closer to the original I suspect it is played that way

There truly are no words to describe the immense feeling and emotion this track gives off. I was eight years old when I played Chrono Cross... maybe that is why it has a special place in my heart. I cry every time I hear this. The track is beautiful, and the association with my youth and innocence makes it all the more meaningful. I'm 31 now, and even my wife does not understand. She supports but she can't fathom how a video games association like this could exist, how the pieces of those experiences are encapsulated perfectly in even just one track. I can look no more fondly at the past.

@ellim1100 11 ай бұрын

That must've been a beautiful experience. My old best friend introduced me to it and it reminds me of our young life chasing JRPGS and playing them over the house phone, having to hang-up to go online with dial-up to look up the strategy guide.

@joseangelherrera499 9 ай бұрын

Same for me. I was 15 when Chrono Trigger came out and it was the perfect escape for all the teenage angst, social pressure and just be a kid again. My wife also doesn't understand this kind of association. Can't blame her since she grew up in a much different environment than I did.

I'm right there with you brother. I was nine years old when I first played this game. I'll be 34 in a few months. Nobody in my entire life understands how much this song and this game for that matter means to me. Whenever I hear this song, it reminds me of my childhood. It's such a bittersweet feeling, knowing that life was and never would be the same after that. I don't know who you are, but I wish you and your wife the best of luck in life ❤

+luvgzus4ever I am pretty sure the original uses just one guitar, but he added the melody of the singing, that is maybe why you get this feeling ;)

@JuicyLeek 6 жыл бұрын

It's not because of the melody. The original definitely uses two guitars, but not like a duet. Instead, it looks like two guitar takes were merged into one and some of the overlap was purposely left in. This is most obvious at the very end of the original, during the second-to-last bar; you can clearly hear the overlapping guitar throughout the entire bar.

@Darkdooomer 6 жыл бұрын

You can hear it in the end of most of the phrases on the original recording, a second guitar is playing the same melody notes as the fingerpicking pattern.

I’ve been listening to your covers for years, I constantly return, and the nostalgia as well as feels always hit me. The first time I listened to your covers I was still an amateur but you introduced me to lots of amazing songs and soundtracks as well as getting me into finger style. I always listen and remember those times where I would sit late at night trying to figure out the rhythms and chord shapes and how to transition to the next phrase. It’s really tragic that I found your channel shorty after you stopped uploading, but myself as well as many others will always continue to listen and appreciate your covers. Also wanna thank Kabukibear for making such great arrangements and sharing them with everyone, much respect to him.
