Biography

Yasunori Mitsuda (光田 康典 Mitsuda Yasunori, born January 21, 1972) is a Japanese composer of video game music. He is best known for his work for developer Squaresoft (now Square Enix), having composed the scores for their role-playing games Chrono Trigger, its sequel Chrono Cross, and Xenogears. Chrono Trigger, his most enduring work, was composed with help from colleague 植松伸夫.

The release of Chrono Cross marked the beginning of his career as a freelance artist, which he continues to be, releasing both video game soundtracks and other original works under his own label, Procyon Studio. Other famous works of Mitsuda’s include Mario Party, the Shadow Hearts series, and Xenosaga, a spiritual successor to Xenogears.

    the two official orchestral tracks on Chrono Trigger Orchestra Extra Soundtrack are deathly beautiful…The coda of the main theme is pitch perfect, and "Wind Scene" gets a surprising but very worthy treatment. makes me cry out in vain for a full-length album of proper orchestral CT performances…
