I was also thinking Mermaid Legend was good. But is it too peaceful?

What types of songs do we need in the game?
I know there's Entity Dungeon, DBT, and maybe Porre town theme.

For the porre town theme, could we try and make the Guardia Castle theme more darker?

Or maybe the Imperial theme from FF6.

And 11998 B.C. overworld, I suppose. We could have something new or two for the Reptites, and maybe a general crisis theme that can replace A Shot of Crisis. It's all in the air.

I think once the suggestions are in, we'll round them all up according to what they might be used for. I'll upload .spcs and link them to the song names so everyone can listen. Then we'll narrow it down from there.

I've added a list of unused locations and maps up to location FF. And man, there are a ton. Once the music is wrapped up, we'll generate a list of maps and location we need to create then, fill them in. And I'll edit the changelog to make it more organized and visually appealing.

There are a bunch more unused maps, it's just that they have empty pointers and you need to use a hex editor to give them proper pointers for them to work.

I've finished listening to the DynamiTracer and RS2 soundtracks. No song really caught my attention, they're all quite different (and sometimes...bland) compared to the Chrono songs.

Before I make a post with individual .spcs uploaded for reference and commentary...what are the fates of these songs?

23. A Shot of Crisis

This can be traded for one of our new crisis themes from Front Mission: Gun Hazard.

27. People Who Threw Away the Will to Live
44. Burn! Bobonga!
58. Black Dream
62. Festival of Stars
72. Prison Tower

Drip-drops aren't much of a song, and silence would work equally well.

75. Lavos Scream

...I guess we'll need this somewhere.

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but should we use Kefka's laugh(FFVI) for king zeal?

it's a possibility i'm throwing out there if it already hasn't.

Perhaps... The only thing is, it's so recognizable by Chrono Trigger's (and, subsequently, Crimson Echoes's) target fanbase. At least with Front Mission and Romancing Saga, most NTSB/PAL gamers/RPG players haven't really been introduced to their music, so it should be somewhat easy to disguise them with CT's instruments. Kefka's laugh, on the other hand, is infamous across all language/region barriers.

So the question is, do we want the subtle tribute effect or the never before heard effect?

I don't think the clown laugh fits King Zeal's personality anyway...

Out of the remaining songs on that list, I think we can trash Burn! Bobonga! and find uses for the rest of the songs. This gives us 11 song slots total. I'll prepare the big post now.

I was going to make my picks, but really, this sucks. We have 3 songs left after Radical Dreamers. What can we cut out of CT?
