About
Yasunori Mitsuda is a Japanese video game composer who composed the primary soundtrack for Chrono Trigger (1995) as his debut as a lead composer. After joining Square Co. in 1992 as a sound engineer, he requested to compose a game himself and was assigned to Chrono Trigger. He developed a stomach ulcer from overwork during the project; Nobuo Uematsu stepped in to complete several tracks. His follow-up, Xenogears (1998), is equally celebrated.
