Composed & Arranged by: Yasunori Mitsuda
Release: December 18, 2000
Label: Digicube

Chrono Cross was scored by freelance video game music composer Yasunori Mitsuda, who previously worked on Chrono Trigger. After being contacted to compose the score by Kato,[1] Mitsuda decided to center his work around old world cultural influences, including Mediterranean, Fado, Celtic, and percussive African music.[2] To complement the theme of parallel worlds, he gave Another and Home respectively dark and bright moods.[1]

Xenogears contributor Tomohiko Kira played guitar on the beginning and ending themes. Noriko Mitose, as selected by Masato Kato, sang the ending song—"Radical Dreamers - The Unstolen Jewel".[1] Ryo Yamazaki, a synthesizer programmer for Square Enix, helped Mitsuda transfer his ideas to the PlayStation's sound capabilities.[2] Mitsuda was happy to accomplish even half of what he envisioned.[2] Certain songs were ported from the score of Radical Dreamers, such as Gale, Frozen Flame, and Viper Mansion. Other entries in the soundtrack contain leitmotifs from Chrono Trigger and Radical Dreamers. The melody of Far Promise ~ Dream Shore features prominently in The Dream That Time Dreams and Voyage ~ Another World.[1] Once production concluded, Mitsuda played Chrono Cross to record his impressions and observe how the tracks intermingled with scenes.[2]

The soundtrack won the Gold Prize for the PlayStation Awards of 2000.[3] In 2005, Square Enix reissued the soundtrack due to popular demand.
