What Was The Start Of All This?

What is it?

A quote or poem from the opening of the 1999 role-playing video game Chrono Cross:

Source: Wikiquote

What was the start of all this?

When did the cogs of fate begin to turn?

Perhaps it is impossible to grasp that answer now,

From deep within the flow of time…

But, for a certainty, back then,

We loved so many, yet hated so much,

We hurt others and were hurt ourselves…

Yet even then we ran like the wind,

Whilst our laughter echoed,

Under cerulean skies…

My Thoughts

The opening video, music, and quote / poem for the video game Chrono Cross was well done; and it is one of my favorite video game openings of all-time, and Chrono Cross is one of my favorite video games of all-time.

This quote or poem fits the overall story and final mood of Chrono Cross well, and even on its own it works well as a quote or poem; and when combined with the music and visuals of the opening it is magical.

The end,
