Chrono Orchestral Arrangement Box Set

Music from the upcoming Chrono Orchestra concert in Japan. Frankly, I'm surprised to see more acknowledgement from Square that Chrono Cross does, indeed, exist.

There are also standalone versions for each game's music if you'd rather have only one or the other, but the box set contains an exclusive bonus disc.

Hey!  This is finally available in the US!  I posted about this when they first announced it, but at the time it was a Japan exclusive.

I was thinking of posting this in a new thread to focus on the images I'm about to link to, but it is related to this performance.

A few months ago, I was looking something up and found this old thread with some scans in high resolution from the box set's pamphlet
https://www.resetera.com/threads/check-out-these-rare-chrono-trigger-concept-arts-from-1993-before-akira-toriyama.639126/
A few are the familiar early artworks from Kato seen in the Ultimania and elsewhere, but others I hadn't seen before.

(Judging from the file names, the thread was the source for the Queen Zeal sketch already on the site, but the source material wasn't credited before.)

And this one from the same user has scans from the Cross section
https://www.resetera.com/threads/masato-kato-reveals-some-of-early-tentative-titles-for-chrono-cross.422087/

(The main focus there was on the alternate titles, but those were visible enough in the preview images for the pamphlet.)
