Early on in Chrono Trigger, the wizard Magus is set up as a big bad of sorts. Following a lengthy traipse through his castle; the man himself is fought by the party, with this chilling and eerie piece playing in the background. It also serves as Magus character theme, though given later developments in the story; it no longer suits him by then.
8. Life A Distant Promise (Chrono Cross)
One of the last pieces on the Chrono Cross soundtrack, this is an emotional and heartfelt melody that helps to bring a wonderful game to a fitting close.
7. Frogs Theme (Chrono Trigger)
Frog is the favourite character of many Chrono Trigger fans, given his tragic past and the redemption that he undergoes throughout the story. His theme is one of the best of all the games individual character pieces, befitting a chivalrous and honourable knight.
