After Mitsude left the project due to contracting stomach ulcers, Nobuo Uematsu stepped in to complete 10 tracks and finish the score.Īlthough the game was planned to release in 1994, the date was pushed back to March of 1995. He spent many nights sleeping in the studio and credits many of his musical ideas from dreams he had while there.

By writing the score for Chrono Trigger, he hoped to gain notoriety and a raise. Before working on the video game, he was dissatisfied with his salary. Yasunori Mitsuda was the primary composer of Chrono Trigger. End of Time was added to help players with hints. The production team was surprised, believing players should have solved certain puzzles much more easily.

Original video game testers believed the game was too difficult. Masato Kato is credited with having written much of the plot.

Horii provided settings and scenarios, but the staff would create the specifics. The game went through many changes during production and boasted a large staff. The idea of time travel was initially rejected by Horii, but would ultimately become the concept of Chrono Trigger. Many gameplay aspects reflect Final Fantasy and Secret of Mana, both games that were under production with Square around the same time. All three individuals brought the best aspects of the previous projects to create a unique and successful game. Chrono Trigger was a joint idea created by Hironobu Sakaguchi (creator and producer of Final Fantasy), Yuji Horii (creator and director of Dragon Quest), and Akira Toriyama (creator and artist for Dragon Ball).
