Game Openings You Really Liked

[Electroshock Therapy]

Really, I think any FF game has a great opening. Even the PS1 remakes/re-releases of NES and SNES games have some really cool CG introduction scenes that get you all pumped up.

MegaMan Legends 2. The first game was quite cinematic for it's time (it came out before PS1 had analog control). The second game was a huge improvement with their cutscenes. And the 10 minute intro had just enough character development, plot foreshadowing, and a mysterious atmosphere that left me wanting more!... And then you reach the beautiful snowy town of Yosyonke City with dreamy music. I got this game for Christmas so the atmosphere during the game's opening parts was perfect for a first time playthrough!

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. As much a I love this series, I admit the openings don't always leave a lasting impression. But this game gave us an intense backstory told by creepy cave drawings, and backing this up was a heart-stomping orchestrated score. Afterwards, you get a first glimpse of The Imprisoned before the player realized he actually looks quite silly.
