“One Morning” brings to mind “Peaceful Days” from Chrono Trigger with its intro and progression, while still retaining its own identity with its beautiful woodwind, strings, and harp driven melodies. Once past the first two themes, it is very clear that the composers kept Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross as an influence on some aspects of the soundtrack. Another tone setting piece is Shunsuke Tsuchiya’s “Title,” a softer tune focusing on harps and strings to give off a very mysterious air throughout its beautiful melody. In addition, there is a music box theme, “One Light Source,” that also utilizes the main theme and the “Epilogue,” which gives off a celebratory vibe with its brass and woodwind focus and light marching percussion. Mitsuda’s other contributions are few on the soundtrack and range from a poignant reflective piano piece, “The Unforgettable Light,” co-composed by Mariam Abounnasr, to an engaging and adventurous rendition of the main theme, “To the Sky of Time,” full of airy woodwinds and an orchestral focus, giving off a sense of flight. The end result is a solid theme that helps to set the tone for the rest of the album. Mitsuda’s Celtic/world influenced music is on display featuring a beautiful blend of strings and woodwinds with slight musical callbacks to both Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross. The melody itself has an excellent progression with an exquisite violin lead in the bridge and closing off with an addition of electric guitar. The album opens up with the main theme, “Another Eden,” composed by Yasunori Mitsuda. Featuring a main theme by Yasunori Mitsuda and composed primarily by Procyon Studio staff Shunsuke Tsuchiya ( Luminous Arc, Stella Glow) and Mariam Abounnasr, with her first major composition debut for a video game, at least to my knowledge, how does the overall soundtrack turn out? Body Another Eden is a free-to-play mobile RPG with a time-travel setting done in the traditional JRPG style and is written by Masato Kato, best known for writing the Chrono series for Square.
