Checkpoint: We're alive. Here and now. What comes tomorrow? No one really knows. Find peace in the now and comfort that whatever may come, it will be alright. Do your best and things will turn out fine.

Whatever happened to that child With eyes so bright and love so wild His many dreams of the starry sky Couldn't change the fact he wasn't meant to fly Alone in the mud, as the fire died He wondered amid the tears he cried Whatever happened to that child With eyes so bright and love so wild Whatever happened to those dreams of mine Now lost forever in the corridors of time

The original Corridors of Time has been my emotional support song ever since I played Chrono Trigger for the first time 4 years ago. It's gotten me through some really tough times. I found this arrangement a few months ago and it's replaced the original for that purpose. The peace and calming otherworldlyness this song embodies is truly beautiful. I hope everyone reading this has a wonderful life going forward. Despite the hardships, we're all gonna make it :)

Checkpoint: I'm 18 and started composing last year. I hope to one day be able to compose something as beautiful and touching as this piece of music

My oldest brother played Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross. These music will always take me back to those days. I will always remember him by this.

Checkpoint: Here I am, in my thirties, listening to this song again, from a game that marked a generation and that makes me think about going back in time to today! My life was one of the best, but today depression takes over, sometimes I try to recover, but not everyone around me wants peace. Someday I will come back here to write that everything worked out and that I overcame depression! Edit: Updating here, life took a turn, and I feel that the prayers and martyrdoms that I described earlier were mere trials of life, and that they are part of a certain energy that generates the earth. I'm still very afraid to go out on the streets, because of the threats I suffered for being gay, but I try to think positive! Anxiety and depression still walk with me, but with less intensity. Edit (2): I went to therapy the last time and we came to the conclusion that I end up boycotting myself and putting my talent aside for others, because I live with those who don't know how to have peace and can't give peace to those around! However, I got job interviews and I'm in the business, trusting myself more, not letting low self-esteem take me! Edit (3): I'm no longer living in my hometown, I went through a predicament that made me very sad, but that's what made me hit the road and today I'm able to fulfill part of my dream, which is to work professionally with photography! Edit: (4): Today I live in another city, much bigger than the previous one where I've lived practically my whole life, and it's been difficult, I don't know a living soul to trust and sometimes I go out for a beer and smoke a joint to distract myself. But despite everything and anything, it's amazing to see another place and be able to support myself, live well. I still don't trust the people around me (those who live where I live today), however, I try to trust, I listen to stories and I try to take better care of myself! I've been traveling a lot, including taking pictures and being happy in this business, living a dream, as I said in edit number 3! Today I live in the south of Brazil and it has been quite a challenge... Follow your dreams, make it real! FINAL EDIT: Hello travelers :) I'm here to close this story, because through your "saves", I was able to catch up on all my checkpoints and thus transform them into a life experience. And this time I'm on the line: Climbing and growing with each passing day, working with my dream of photography and embracing my solitude. Finally, I was able to welcome and recognize my "Crono", better known as "my inner child". AND FOR THOSE WHO ARE FEELING DOWN, REMEMBER THAT... WE HAD CREATED THIS STORY.... and these words belong to us! Thank you for participating! **samam And to those who have always read here and followed along, never give up on your dreams, every day and every moment is a construction and one more piece in the puzzle! Thank you all for the replies and for following :)

Whoa, that choir part hits HARD. It already was the climax of the immensely memorable original track, and this arrangement made it even more gorgeous. I know the whole thing is inherently impossible to ruin even if you get three ducks with strep throats to sing it, but still... wow.

Checkpoint : for the first time in more than 3 years, things seems good again. never give up boys and girls, life will find a way. much love.

There are no real checkpoints in life. Everyone plays with a single save style and permadeath is always enabled. Take care of yourselves guys. World grows more uncertain each day...

Checkpoint: Things are looking up. As time goes on, life gets harder but I also get stronger. I've been through so much that if I went back and told a younger me what was in store... Well... that probably wouldn't be a good idea... but I've finally got some direction and a solid path laid out before me... one that I chose, for me, on my terms and no one else's. I'm gonna get everything I want out of this life. It's only a matter of time now. If I've made it this far, nothing can stop me.

Checkpoint: One of the hardest times of my life emotionally... I'm in my early twenties learning what it means to take care of oneself, often I thought that I had to be tough and endure everything with a mask but I'm slowly learning to be more open about how I'm feeling and learning how to communicate with others instead of thinking that I'm pleasing everyone by being quiet and agreeing to everything. be kind to yourself. have patience. it will be ok.

*"This is the eternal kingdom of Zeal, where dreams can come true"*

There's just something magical about winding up in an unknown time, taking a random teleporter, and finding out there's a whole kingdom in the sky.

This is a dream we'll never see come to fruition, killed by a C&D. The amount of love that was going into this project was amazing the community had so much hope, I remember so long ago seeing the teaser for it I've downloaded this song to make sure I never lose it

It was this point in the game that I knew: this is my favorite game of all time. What a masterpiece.

The dream of Zeal will live forever.

Checkpoint: I've studied Japanese every day for over 2 years and will be finally visiting this year. This will be the adventure of my life.

This doesn't get old. I put this on repeat while editing writing, working on the aquarium (which is named Zeal as it were), tinkering in the workshop, whatever. I need Chrono Trigger: Resurrection to get resurrectioned

I know it's not much... But here... won't you stay for a moment and rest, even if it is brief? You are doing great... ...I can see it in you! Butterflies can't see their own wings yet... ...they're beautiful, are they not? I believe in you as many have before... ...I will still be here if you need me. ...so please... Don't give up hope Adventurer... ...we're cheering you on... ...the world is cheering you on!

Checkpoint: Its 2022, depression sucks but im alive. Stay strong everyone💯

Checkpoint fellas: My life was falling apart and the events that caused it left me traumatized and mentally ill. Over a year later I’m finally seeing recovery. I’ve regained a sense of identity and have a newfound resolve. I’ve finally begun to heal and I overcame the hurdles that stood between myself and the next phase of my life. I am now just days away from this new chapter. To the reader: You are redeemable. No matter how far gone you are there is always a way forward. That is what makes sentience so profound friend. The ability to perceive the world as we wish.

an epiphany; when you listen to this sped up x1.25, it sounds almost inspiring and uplifting but when you slow it becomes melancholic and sorrowful. slowing down and speeding up the corridors of time can change the mood based on tempo

Been listening to this for years. It's been in my D&D campaigns. Just an amazing work.

I love this version because it's a wonderful song from Chrono Trigger that evokes deep emotion but the guitar also brings with it a feeling that is reminiscent of Chrono Cross as well, which adds even more depth to it in my opinion.

Checkpoint: I was hired as a flight controller for NASA 6 months ago and the training is beating my ass. I'm over half way done though and if I hang in there and do my best I can make it. Just gotta keep moving and keep pushing. I never thought I'd make it here because my grades in school were trash and I ended up stuck in retail after college, but if I can make it this far I can go even further. I'll try to update again when there's news. Much love to everyone struggling. Hang in there and you'll be okay. There's never a mistake so large you can't fix it with good help and hard work!

一音一音大切に演奏されて、今日もピアノ演奏を、聴ける幸せを感じて心休まります。歌声も、とっても素敵です。

Checkpoint: I'm 24 and have been having bad anxiety lately, but I refuse to let that stop me as I keep traveling on this adventure of life. Still a single guy with no kids but still pursuing my dreams and trying to live each and every day to the fullest. Just bought a little piece of land in town and am hoping to start construction on a new house, still living with my parents and am studying for my Fundamentals of Engineering Exam, which I will be taking in a month. To be honest I've just been feeling down lately but life is still beautiful, to anyone else struggling out there whatever you do just keep moving, your situation is not forever and as long as you keep working hard and don't let toxic people discourage you from your dreams, you'll be blessed in ways you can't imagine now down the road! Logging out - (2023 April 2nd 9:02AM Central Time)

Checkpoint: 2022.12. We’re still in Corona. And more, in the war. But we’re alive. Don't give up hope.

Checkpoint: After 12 years of depression, personal struggle and even transition, I'm finally pursuing a dream I never thought possible by going to college for a career goal I didn't believe I would ever make happen, while also free to express myself as I wish to and believed would always isolate and hurt me externally. I look up from an assignment and just blink multiple times, still shocked this is real and happening and I'm out of a job I hated and sucked my soul, just to get by day by day. Keep hope as alive as your favorite stories.

Awesome rendition and love the picture…thats Schalla and young Magus

大好きな曲。久しぶりに聴いたけど、脳みそのﾘﾗｯｸｽ効果がすごい。脳圧下がった感。

Checkpoint: I've gone way further than most to achieve my goals; it's lonely out here. People like stories of heroes and self made men, but I haven't found anyone who understands what that's like, with all the the sacrifices and compromises. Sometimes I feel like I'd give it all to see a smile on my child's face - but they don't even exist. I still hold out hope that I'll find someone in the future. Just have to keep moving. *Plays Rocket Man by Elton John

Checkpoint: October 2022; things are getting better, I think. A month-and-a-half into my grade 11 year, and people are starting to expect things from me. I think I can deal with the stress if I get rid of things I should have stopped doing a long time ago, and maybe drop a class, but no solution will make everyone happy. On a brighter note, I've stopped ignoring my classmates and playing classic JRPGs in class, and it turns out I've been surrounded by some really interesting and friendly people this whole time. I've been able to start Computer Science classes this year, and programming might just be what I want to do in life. No commitments, though; I've got plenty of those already. Let me know in a year or two whether things have gotten better in the world. Also, thanks for reading, it helps.

Checkpoint: I am going to try again, because this time I have set things right. The past year was filled with negativity to the point that I encountered a massive failure and roadblock in my life. Somehow, that failure awakened me to the reality that I have to look at the people who stood by me from the beginning and dedicate my life and goals to them.

I could listen to this all day! Peaceful, inspirational, and epic!

~The black wind howls, my children....

44 minutes in, it occurred to me that I've been listening to the same thing for a while and it hadn't changed yet. Must mean its a good one.

so we all agree this is the official checkpoint.

Never played Chrono Trigger but I like this song and it's one of those summer nostalgia weekends. The floating islands remind me of the Hyrule Temple map in Smash Bros Melee

Checkpoint: It took me 10 years after I finished school, but I finally learned a trade I enjoy and managed to find a company that employed me despite my disability and treats me right. I never thought I would get this far. I could do it somehow, through hard work and determination, and so can you! Never give up

wow i love the checkpoints good luck everyone!

I've been a gamer for years, and I've played a ton of games throughout my 33 years on earth, and in my opinion, Chrono Trigger is the greatest game of all time.

This is a very good remake of this piece. Granted, credit where it's due, it's a very 1 to 1 remake of already very good music, but still, the choices of instuments are very good and the important melodies are well preserved. My nostalgia appreciates it.

Refusing to reuse their ancestor’s amusement, The refugee simply seeks refuge, Believing the future must get better. For the children, out of their element, Adapts and evolves, mutates, yet also clings, However possible, guided by otherworldly beings. Striving forward, reaching heights no one else could imagine, These are the ones who were mentioned years ago. These are the ones the others look towards. -Aaron C Pitts

This is driving me nuts I love all the songs from Chrono Trigger and I love playing the game. What do they hope to gain by taking all my songs down?

This game means so much to me, man...

I so miss this generation of gaming OST's. SNES has some of the greatest music.

omg the mixing is so good

That... Melody... it's somehow... remaining me of my childhood... what.. is this..? ...... I love it.

Play this in the background at my Wake.

CheckPoint: I´m not in my best moment, i am afraid of tomorrow, i left the University for economic reasons. I´m 20 and i´m unemployed, everybody says i´m too young and have a life ahead... but i´m so scared about the future, the pandemic really chance my life... I don´t want to be a failure to my family, to my brothers, and to myself... i wonder if in the future i will come back to the University and finish Engineering Carrer... sometimes i feel like nothing matters, and being depressed everytime is a torture... But isn´t time for that... When i listen things like this, i remember better times, and that gives me hope, and courage... i have dreams, big dreams, someday maybe...

Checkpoint: I'm 23 now, probably last listened to this when I was much younger. Still my favorite version to this day. Time's are hard, nowadays, but I know I'll pull through.

this is dope no lie!

Checkpoint: 22 now, things sucks in big picture, sucks only somewhat less when close and personal. But maybe... maybe everything will be alright. It's good to have hope. Some says that hope don't last. Better to make sure that you don't need to hope before it, then.

Checkpoint: it never got better, even after 20+ years. Everyone who said otherwise was just gaslighting you. You should’ve done it.

checkpoint: ive been sick a lot but im making a game, about other places- and im listening to mitsuda's music to study with my gf so we can do better work together. its a nice respite after bad things, i hope stuff works out for us and we can keep being friends and make really cool stuff together xoxoxo - moga, 1900, 5/28/2023

What a blessed ost.

Checkpoint: struggling with depression and identity crisis, 2 daughters and a beautiful Mrs all of whom keep me grounded and anchored to the world. But getting up for work is a struggle, finding interest in most things on a day to day is nonexistent, struggling to sleep at night as my mind wanders and my autistic traits catch up to me, but I'll continue on because I have to be a man for my children and my better half. The release of suicide seems more like a warm blanket in a cold harsh reality than it does a bleak ending to an unfinished chapter. Maybe I need help. Maybe I just need to be better. But I don't know where to start or what else to try after 28 years grinding against the whetstone asking myself, and the world around me, why I'm not normal. The cliché answer that normality is abnormal doesn't give me strength or solace, because I walk as a freak amongst circus freaks and I can't shake this feeling and these thoughts. I don't know what to do or where to go, I just know my family needs me, so where's the motivation to be found?

令人热泪盈眶的感动，这首歌是有魔力的

Checkpoint darkness will fade

checkpoint: vencemos muitas lutas, venceremos outras mais. Hoje é só uma escolha e um caminho. nós sempre vivemos em emergência, querendo ou não. "descanse ou lute, mas nunca espere."

Checkpoint: I was about to write about being alone, however one of my thirteen cats started to lick my cheek. Felt really happy!

Always wished we coulda found Schala…

Checkpoint: I'm 34, even the fact that i have a degree and be kinda smart; i'm stucked in a mediocre job, and can't find a way to do any other thing to keep looking for my dreams. I started to think that my life is pretty short and i'm starting to think that my luck can change but don't know how. I always come back here to find peace.

Волшебная музыка волшебной игры💘

The best song i listened in my life!

This remaster is so goooood!!!! :DDD

Checkpoint: I've been learning to deal with my feelings, and actually admit to myself it's alright to be a little selfish and think about what's best for me. My parents always would make me feel bad for thinking about myself around them. And made me feel like I had to constantly do what others want so that way I wasn't be mean... they hated my sassy nature too and made me feel like the way I talked to people was wrong... I've made it this far on my own strength and the strength my friends have given me... I am valuable in my own life. And I'm also haply Andrew tate is finally getting justice

incredible

To know that there is a kingdom, so much more beautiful than this, coming very soon. My friends do not miss out...

Checkpoint: Wow, its been a while since writing one of these, if someone had told me i would be with the man of my dreams a few months ago, i'd have shrugged and said i can only hope so, despite that, it happened, and i couldnt be happier. if anyone who reads this struggles with loneliness, just try to remember, there is someone out there who will one day tell you they love you more than they could ever explain, and that they could also be closer to you than you think.

Played this game multiple times on simulator. Best of the best in game play, story lines, and ofc, soundtrack!

whats crazy, this beautiful arrangement, at the time of this posting, 46 people downvoted. See, people can be wrong with their opinions.

Checkpoint: Sea of Star is an amazing game and inspired by Chrono Trigger. I suspect we all will be talking about it soon. Truly a spiritual successor to Chrono Trigger.

Chrono Trigger was just one of those games released at a perfect time and place in the golden era of RPGs. Chrono Cross while good just couldn't match the magic of the original, and they can't even so much sa get a remake of this game because for some reason they have no confidence in it.

The Chroono Trigger soundtrack makes for some good driving music.

I remember that I once found this magic Japanese channel with these 90's classic videogame relaxing music that I used while building Legos with my brother, while other people posted checkpoints. Suddenly I never found out that channel again, and thought I'd lost it forever, yet here I am again at if not the same, somewhat similar place where people leave there checkpoints to feel a bit less stressed bout their own personal journies we all share. Truly magic

Checkpoint: I'm at a point where many doors are opening for me in life. It's scary to make choices now, because I know that I can't choose all of them. If I choose one, 3 or 4 will close. This choice has paralyzed me, so I find myself at a standstill. I fear that making a bad choice will forever ruin my future opportunities, but standing still is somehow scarier as I watch my friends all pass me in life. Come what may, I must make a choice. Progress saved.

Perfect sleep music ❤❤❤

Checkpoint : I just found out how to fuck up my brain with no substances, just by perception

Wow, My best friend, Wonderful video dear. I enjoyed watching. Hope to see you soon...

Checkpoint: Got my childhood sweetheart back, going to marry her soon. Been a rough ride. Universe has a strange way of working things out.

this works alright with as a canon with itself. lol.

Love it

Checkpoint: I'm 20. I don't know what else to put here to be honest

This aged like fine wine.

Checkpoint: I broke up with my girlfriend in January and I still think of her often. She was a part of my life for a couple of years and I grew up and changed a lot during that time. I think it was the right choice because long distance can be very difficult and I didn't want to drag things along for so long when there was a clear strain on the relationship because of circumstances. I go to a difficult university and study physics, and I often worry that I will not make it through because it is very hard and requires so much from me all the time. I am by no means a quiet person but my life seems to be very quiet. It is peaceful but also tragic. When you are holding on to things you focus so intently on maintaining your grasp, but as soon as you let go, even only for a moment, the task of taking hold once again seems monumentous. I dream of having my life back and having time to experience small joys such as walking outside on a weekend without having to hurry back to study. Many facets of the modern world delude us and, in reality, we are quite simple creatures who need basic things that may seem almost trivial in comparison with the alluring man-made wonders. I know someday I will have this freedom.

Checkpoint: I'm almost finished with college. Honestly it's been making me nervous having to accept that I won't be living with my friends soon and I'll have to start my adult life for real. I'm not sure if the major I chose is the right one for me, but there's no turning back and I think I can make something of it. I'm torn between wanting to move away and wanting to stay near my family and home. I'm not sure if I'm the type of person to ever truly be satisfied, but I hope that no matter what I do I can keep my loved ones and make a place for myself.

Best rpg ever for me.

The Eternal Kingdom of Zeal.....

Checkpoint: I'm 17 and living at Turkey I'm nervous about my future and I have a university entrance exam to prepare. I told my family that I will study economics at the uni but now I cannot even think about it. I like read and talk about econimics but I hate maths and I hate even more to work at an office white collar job which is probably what ı gonna do if ı study econ. Since my childhood I love playing games and now I'm thinking about studying video game developing. But all the unis that have this department is private unis and my family probably cannot afford them ıf I dont get tuttion they cost like 8k dollars yearly but tuttion exams need me to make maths which I suck very hard I feel like stupid when I study maths and I dont know if my family supports me when I say them that I'm gonna study video game development. I dont now what to do should I continue to study for econ or should I follow my dreams on video game development there is only 1.5 years left to me to study and set course to my life. Ps:I'm not confidient about my english sorry if this is hard to understand I'm not fluent

If Corridors of Time was written for Chrono Cross. I like this better than the original..

It is so hard to turn this song off.

Checkpoint: God this is so cringe even for my standards but here we go. My hardships, my worst pains, my uncertainties; all of those came not one short decade ago. I've never felt better now than I ever have in my life. However, the world refused to get better. It's depressing. Not even a threat like Lavos will bring us together.

Just like Squenix, the jerks. Heaven forbid people cover work.

*SHOUT OUT TO SEPHIROTH WE OUT HERE*

Awesome! Like! congrats

amazing !!!

LOVE THIS REMIX
