Derin Darkpaw Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 7 minutes and 40 seconds of pure unadulterated awesomeness. Absolutely love this game and the opening. Even though its been years since I have played it I still remember every single scene they show in the opening and I don't think there is many games I can say that about. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiy0 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 such a nice game and actually the fighting thing with the cards was not that complicated but i just liked to watch my lil sis more while she was playing it then actually playing it on my own.

Eggdodger Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) At 9 years old, this was my first Final Fantasy game. I loved all the character designs, and I especially loved this opening. There was nary a time I skipped it when I booted up the game. The opening might not measure up to some of these here, but the music is still nice.(Enigma, seriously love that Tales of Grace opening. Makes me want to try a Tales game, as much as I hear about them) Edited September 28, 2015 by Eggdodger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aeroxwolf Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Final Fantasy VIII has the darkest opening I've seen in the entire franchise. The song is still chilling today.http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1GHCJJXqneU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dischimera Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) Anything from Final Fantasy IX.That game was the pinnacle of SE's cinematics. It was the last time they made cinematics that mattered. In X all their choice for cinematics, barring the intro and Yuna's first sending, were horrible. IX's cinematics felt like they were very carefully picked to show what REALLY needed to be cinematic. Even the dullest scenes had impact and emotion.This one still gives me the chills and always makes me wish they'd make more Final Fantasy like this rather than the modern harajuku crap they turned it into.

Skylar Husky Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) I was really impressed with Half-life's opening sequence the first time I played it. It took you into the bowels of this super secret underground research facility at Los Alamos and had you ride this tram down, down, down into places, over radioactive pits and through long and winding caverns and corridors. By the time I got there, felt like I was way in the bottom of a well trying to climb out.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMYuZpBVBfo Edited October 7, 2015 by Skylar Husky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberra Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) I love all of the Halo series openings.The first Darksiders game also had an awesome opening, what with the Apocalypse happening and all, and the arrival of War, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Wv6Fj1onQU(How the heck do you guys manage to insert the actual video into your posts, btw?)

Ratical Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Star Ocean: First Departure's opening always gets me pumped for some reason. (How the heck do you guys manage to insert the actual video into your posts, btw?)Insert it as an image. Even if it's not. Whatever works. ;pI always liked the Wild ARMs 1 opening, I wish I could say the same for the game itself...WA1 has one of the best openings on PS1. Even better than the remake. Classic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrysocyon Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Speaking of Wild ARMs, the third had my favorite opening, and I think it was the best game in the series. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratical Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Speaking of Wild ARMs, the third had my favorite opening, and I think it was the best game in the series.No joke, I actually owned the soundtrack to WA3 at one point. This was back when I still had dial-up and their was no YouTube and the only way I could get my hands on game music was to import the discs. Played it in my car all the time. That, and the SaGa Frontier 2, Grandia II, and Legend of Mana OSTs. Prolly my second favorite after the first, but that's mostly for nostalgia.

Tsuujou Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) I hate when games have intros that are so good they outclass the game itself. Like...fuck. I wish games would just hurry up and get this impressive. :cMagatsu was an amazing fight, but this makes the actual fight look like an NES game. I wanna do the shit they did.

TrishaCat Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) I adore Final Fantasy XII, and its opening was one of the things that was so great about it. Its not just fun to watch either; it sets up so much with regards to the world and story of the game. Lots of little details about the importance of religion in the plot and the races of the game.Nier's opening is pretty cool too.

RestlessDreamer Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) The one for the expansion is great too but ruins the last 30 minutes of A Realm Reborn so I won't post that.It's great for a bunch of reasons. If anything, it's meant to bridge the gap between the failure that was the original FFXIV and the current game (A Realm Reborn). So your opening cutscene is an apocalyptic scene that wraps up the last game and makes narrative way for the new one.

Tsuujou Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Not sure how I forgot this. This should have been the first and only thing I fucking posted because this rave shit had a nice aesthetic. My favorite song in an opening cinematic too. Goddamn, that is a fresh beat.

Twopaw Tarnished-Silver Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 The intro that hit me the hardest in its two minutes and change of glory was and is most definitely the intro movie to the original Warhammer 40,000: Dawn Of War. It ended up being the first separate title sequence (legit in WMV off of FilePlanet a very long time ago) I ever intentionally went looking for and obtained. Youtube time! Enjoy! -2Paw.

major lee snake Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Many things come to people's minds when people are asked about S.C.A.T. for the NES. One of them is the unfortunate name. The other is how this game is an unholy copy of Forgotten Worlds and Contra. And speaking of Contra, people always mention how this sounds like a Konami game. Not surprising, since longtime Konami composer Kyouhei Sada did the music for this game. But this fucking intro is perhaps the best there is. Japanese version is much more somber and depressing, but damn it if it's not 「ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃ」. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Alright here's a few Maybe my favourite, even if the game itself wasn't that great. My favourite bit is from 1:59 to 2:43. Goosebumps, everytime This is the first RPG I ever played. This game will always have a special place in my heart and this cutscene introduced me to themes I have never explored in videogames before. It may not look like much to anyone else but to me it was very intriguing to me Another game I loved for its generally dark themes and atmosphere. Also I don't give a fuck about what anyone says, Roman rocks Hands down the most depressing opening cinematic I've seen so far Not really the intro cinematic, but it kinda is since it introduces Ratchet's side of the story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
