The Best Opening Theme

[Lord Golbez]

Gotta be FFVI. Terra's theme playing over Mode 7 Magitek Armor march through the snowy landscape as opening credits roll by? Simply epic.

And yeah, Wild Arms opening cinematic and many of the other games listed here. Some of these (including Wild Arms) it sort of depends on what is meant by opening though. Are we talking an optional cinematic that you can watch or skip before starting/continuing a game or the opening of the game proper? I'm not sure Wild Arms has such a great opening theme once you select "new game," but the theme in that opening cinematic when you boot up the game is top tier. I can get confused on this stuff a bit too because some games (FFX comes to mind as a definite example, but there are probably more) have a skippable cinematic that plays each time you boot up the game, but that cinematic is also played at the start of the game when you select "new game."
