Which Soundtrack Was Better: Chrono Cross vs. Chrono Trigger

Chrono Trigger
Chrono Cross has so many memorable songs. Radical Dreamers, Dream of the Shore Near Another World, Scars of Time (just to name a few). Most epic video game soundtrack.
Frog's Theme, Battle with Magus, and To Far Away Times were three of the best tracks I've ever heard. For its time it was the best soundtrack in a game and to me the best 16-bit soundtrack of all time.
Chrono Cross for sure. It was like everything trigger had, with better quality instruments.

Chrono Trigger, but both are awesome. Chrono Trigger has my favorite soundtrack period, and I'm a huge game music aficionado. I'd probably say that Scars of Time is the single best song in any video game, though.
Chrono Trigger, then again I am a bit biased since I hated Chrono Cross with a passion.

I dislike Cross too, but I wouldn't let that affect the fact it has some good music.Originally Posted by exit
On the whole Trigger has a far more enjoyable and listenable soundtrack. I wouldn't say games click with me due to music but in Trigger's case it certainly helped the allure. It's a memorable soundtrack too, where I can easily recall the likes of a dozen good songs from different areas without much effort.
Cross does a really appealing song for me, Voyage Another World. Gale (normal battle) is ok, but it really pales in comparison to the original from Radical Dreamers. That game also seems to have some decent tunes.
Whaddya mean invalid parameters?!
9,000 gigs of ram and it still can't answer a simple question!
The thing about CC that I like is the abundance of classical guitar stuff. I even have the music book from the game!

Just because I think this thread is fun...you should all search Chrono Cross on Amazon right now. $10.00. Seriously.
Okay. I searched for Chrono Cross on Amazon. Now what?
All jokes aside, I think Chrono Trigger has a better soundtrack. Just about every battle theme, world map themes, town themes, etc, is great. Chrono Trigger is up there as one of my favorite video game soundtracks. While it's behind almost everything from Hitoshi Sakimoto and Michiko Naruke, some of the Castlevania music(unknown artists on the CV, CV3, and SCV4, or Michiru Yamane on SotN) as well as a few more games, it's definitely high on the list.
I've actually played through Chrono Cross more than Chrono Trigger, but Chrono Cross has nothing memorable in my opinion. I had to search Chrono Cross music on Youtube to remember any of it. The music on Chrono Cross was decent enough, but not much of it really stood out as good music. I think the best music on Chrono Cross was Dream of a Shore Near Another World.

Everything in the above post is opinion unless stated otherwise.

Oh, went I went to search on Amazon, I saw that Cross's soundtrack goes for $50 and Trigger's goes for $30.
