The crazy FFVII zoom into the city, into the railway station?

Or the silent opening of FFX, with Tidus talking on and on with the "This Is My Story" thingy?

etc etc.

The various introduction scenes and introductory scenarios in all the FF games, which is the one that most easily captured your attention and which you enjoyed the most, that makes you want to replay the game, just so you can watch the opening again and again?

NOTE: I'm not talking about the loop movie that plays in the beginning, i'm talking about the first scene you get after you hit the "New Game" button.

On a side note: I enjoyed FFXII's introductory sequence the most. :D

I kinda hate the opening "this is my story" from X because I just want to start the game and its so slow moving! It was good the first 2 or 3 times, but after you play the game so many times, you see that scene like 20 billion times and it gets old. x-2... yuna... pop-singer... ack, well, you already know how I feel about that one... so I won't beat the dead horse...

As for which one I enjoy the most... ff7 and ff8 both have cool introductions, I like the action intro in 8 with the dual between seifer and squall. The zoom into the city scene with 7 was absolutely breathtaking for its time.

FFVIII is the most exciting after hitting the button. X-2 makes me laugh and IX makes me wonder.

It should be the FFX opening scene but it isn't. It is a very emotional part of the story but the first time you see it you don't understand why. Then, the second time you play the game you've already seen it 3 times so it just gets boring. Therefore, I think that FFVIII probaby has the best, straight in with the action :D

I hated that too. It took forever for FFX to take off. I have to go with FFVIII, that was the best opening ever.

The fight scene at the start of 8 was simply stunning. I watch that over and over still.

FFIV's opening was the one I enjoy the most. The awesome crystal theme song playing in the background and then they show the Legend of the Paladin/Dragoon.

FFVIII

Sure it made little sense,(as you didn't really know which scenes were a prelude or a premonition) but it was highly entertaining and the first time you saw it, it was jaw-droppingly stunning. You could almost say I was hooked from then on. I have then pressed "New Game" a few times just to watch it over.

It's arguably the best CGI movie of the game, save for the ball-room sequence.

I enjoyed the FFX-2 opening.  I'm pretty sure I'm one of the only people that actually did though. :P  I liked the singing, and the dancing, and the fact that Rikku and Paine where kicking but while all of that was going on as well.  The thing that I hated was that it made me feel like I was watching some sort of Barbie video though.  But I guess X-2 was kinda like Barbie with weapons. :P

Final Fantasy VIII had the best opening FMV.

But Final Fantasy X's opening scene really drew me in and captured my interest.

Yeah, FFVIII's was the best because, as it was the first FF I played, I just watched the FMV and thought "Final Fantasy is AWESOME...!!" even though I hadn't even played it. Me and my friend even taped it so we could watch it over and over!!

^You're thinking too ahead there. It's one of the early parts of the game but it's not the opening.

Opening from X-2 is the one I've rewatched the most. I also liked the VII intro as a close 2d, I find it relaxing.

As far as the actual opening, I liked VII best, but as far as the introductory scenes that roll out the rest of the game, X was amazing with the blitzball, the music, the sports caster, the giant city, the introduction of Auron, Zanarkand bieng destroyed by sin and the journey up untill you're washed up at the shore, stellar intro.

Opening for me (this may sound lame) was Crystal Chronicles. I really enjoyed the song to that one. Also...I only got the PS2 recently so it was my only FF for awhile :shock:
