For that, we largely have one person to thank: Yoko Shimomura.
In 2009 we put together this video for the TV stream we have here at the radio for the anniversary of Chrono Trigger. It is the full musical score that was done by Ocremix and their talented people set to video clips of the corresponding parts of the game.
