SQ Chips is the fourth album in the “SQ” collection of Square arranged albums, spanning the series of Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Xenogears and SaGa. This latest venture is dedicated to chiptune synth, similar in many ways to classic NES music of yore but in this case with a great deal of powering up.

Their opening piece is a short and relatively straightforward take on “Chrono Trigger,” substituting in 8-bit sounds and adding a dance beat to the classic theme. They return with a considerably more impressive character theme medley, however, opening with “To Faraway Times” before delving into various character themes (Frog, Ayla, Magus, Schala, Marle) over the six and a half minute medley. I could go for fully fleshed out arrangements of each one of these themes, as the duo only manages to scratch the surface here, doing a truly wonderful job with each.
