Even though Chronicle 2nd has a lot of updates from the original Chronicle, not all stories are retained or adapted the same way. To truly understand the world of Chronicle, you need to look deeper, and see both releases not as separate, but as one entity. Neither is a greater force than the other, nor is the 2nd a full replacement of the 1st. With this common misconception out of the way, let's discuss the birth of Sound Horizon as we know it today!

| Very glad that perhaps the greatest Sound Horizon misconception of all time was addressed. For the longest time I ignored Chronicle because I heard that Chronicle 2nd made the first release obsolete.
There are key songs from Chronicle not in Chronicle 2nd, and overall, it's just a very different feel. Chronicle 2nd is one of my favorite releases with its excellent "story arcs" and a really interesting ending, even if it's some of the most vague and abstract stuff in Sound Horizon in terms of point of view.
The first will give us key insight into the last, I think. History repeats itself, and Chronicle is a big part of every Horizon due to this idea. |
