6	* Then came ''VideoGame/ChronoCross''.
7	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ine3_jdQIIs Dead Sea/Tower Of Destruction]] sets just the right tone for the area it's hardcoded into.
8	** How do you make Scars Left by Time even better than it already is? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZ595N9NZVg Scars Left by Time, fully orchestrated]].
9	** An often-overlooked but truly unforgettable song is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=homHQJvt09k The Frozen Flame]], a carryover from ''VisualNovel/RadicalDreamers''. And speaking of which...
10	%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5G7b4duTNEo Scars Left By Time]].
11	%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Z6iOJTr1VY Home World - Fields of Time]].
12	%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sl8_h_4Ahvs Chronopolis]].
13	%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkAK_i1-jTU Another World - On The Beach of Dreams]].
14	%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwaDFdEFnCw Chronomantique]].
15	%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoF2rBOnsb4 Leaving the Body]].
16	%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuwK6vn6lBA Dragon Rider]].
17	%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gi4wQLTIqdg Magical Dreamers - Wind, Stars, and Waves]].
18	%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6W_nDvs0QnI Garden of the Gods]].
19	%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-SFff8uW94 Terra Tower - Dragon's Prayer]].
20	%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=696NDThs_nk Radical Dreamers - Unstolen Jewel]]. Mere words are useless.
21	%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpnRWYutQy8 Prisoners of Fate]], AKA that song that plays when you fight Miguel.
22	%%** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-IJV93FQZc battle against the Dragon God]], as well as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsARKjhuT70 Fate - The God of Destiny]].
23	%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sm9GLeK3syk The Girl Who Stole the Stars]]. The absolutely perfect theme for Kid.
24	%%** On the subject of Kid, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3_8Y1pz5ok Burning Orphanage]], which is only played once, in a completely optional dungeon.
25	%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMkzhO-oKXw Fortress of Ancient Dragons]], the [[DiscOneFinalDungeon Fort Dragonia]] theme.
26	%%** Also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMntblDX0Bg The Dream that Time Dreams]], the music that plays during the demo movie, and climactic song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVq_ioK0Bjg Life: The Distant Promise]].
27	* ''VisualNovel/RadicalDreamers'' had a small selection of wonderful songs that didn't reappear in ''VideoGame/ChronoCross''.
28	** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brNWnz2rRwo opening theme]] is quite lovely, and the track dubbed "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eo1r_BapDP8 Final Confrontation]]" is as rousing a boss theme as any you'll hear (why it wasn't reused as Lynx's battle theme in ''Chrono Cross'' is a mystery).
29	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7687ikwhao Gale]], the fight theme, is quite intense, while fitting well with the atmosphere of the game. A redone (and rather lackluster) version serves as the main battle theme in ''Cross''.
30	* ''VideoGame/{{Bomberman}} 64: The Second Attack'' had a soundtrack that simply radiated epicness. Not like you'd expect any less from Music/YasunoriMitsuda. Take [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDglstmy6Nc the Angel theme,]] for example.
31	* And just in case anyone should have even the slightest doubt that Mitsuda's still got the touch: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7YSI7W9RDA the main theme]] of ''VideoGame/SandsOfDestruction''. Yeah. He's still got it.
32	* Mitsuda is the longtime childhood friend of Yoshitaka Hirota (see below). And so, doing the friendly thing, he contributed a few tracks to the Shadow Hearts series. And those tracks happened to kick ass, nicely complementing Hirota's already-awesome work.[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGWVzDhDHMc Astaroth]], for example, is among Mitsuda's contributions.
33	%%* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Brawl''. "[[Franchise/{{Kirby}} Vs. Marx]]".
34	* Mitsuda only composed one song for ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1'': the ending theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iPQP7aDe_Y Beyond the Sky]]. All the other tracks were composed by the other composers including Shimomura.
35	* Mitsuda worked on an obscure and somewhat mediocre title called ''Tsugunai: Atonement''. You are not likely to have heard [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiUInHLbf_Q this song]] from that game, but you may have heard it from the playthrough vids of the ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' fangame ''VideoGame/CrimsonEchoes''. It's a pretty kickass song either way.
36	* He worked on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2S2h24xuZI this awesome track]] for ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising''; it's just epic.
37	* He had an album called ''Sailing to the World'', which is loaded with awesome. The standout would be [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9VhdKtaT5Y Melody of Aqua]].
38	* Anyone who enjoyed Mitsuda's work in ''Xenogears'' and ''Chrono Cross'' will definitely want to check out [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlTEGf6bnwc "Xeno Cross"]], an amazing half-hour orchestrated tribute album blending together the two soundtracks.
39	%%* His talents even extend into mobile gaming. Behold, a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4ClwEmp05k boss theme]] for the SpiritualSuccessor to the Chrono series, ''VideoGame/AnotherEden''.
