Best Opening and Ending

[fantasyjunkie]

FF8 on both counts, Whatever those guys that made the ending got paid, they didn't get paid enough. That in itself was a little movie.

I've yet to play Shadow of the Colossus other than a demo, but Orcarina of time had possibly the most pathetic opening of all the Zelda games. I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not.

Anyway, FFVIII has the best opening ever. Best ending would probably be FFX.

I wasn't, but I understand your confusion. Everyone expected it to have a whole bunch of explosions and stuff and action and etc. Instead, we get to watch the sunrise over Hyrule Field and Link rides around. And that's it. It's a great way to introduce us to the world of Hyrule. While it would've been cool to see Link run around and cut [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] in half as an intro, that's not what we got. Instead we get to see two companions wander around a giant world as the sun slowly rises. It's smurfing beautiful, man.

Plus, anyone who thinks that the FFX ending is good obivously doesn't know what they're talking about. Obviously!

Opening: FFVI and MGS3

Ending: FFVI and MGS3 (at least I'm consistent)

FF8 has the best opening. I've never seen a better opening in any video game, ever.

[dragoonknight_kain]

Best opening:
- Final Fantasy 8
- Vagrant Story -> I don't know if that scene with the girl dancing can be called an opening sequence, but it's great anyway!
- The Legend of Dragoon -> well, I like this game!

Best Ending:
- MGS 3 ( I'd cry if I were a bit more emocional =D)
- Any other MGS game
- The Legend of Dragoon

FF8 ending is crap!!! Half an hour of Squall wandering... than that scene in the garden... Awesome FMV, but it could have more meaning.

best opening and intro go to shadow hearts covenant. everything about this game was perfect. what, you dont believe me? buy it and then try to tell me it doesnt have the best intro and ending

[Del Murder]

I agree with the majority that FFVIII has the best opening movie.

My favorite ending is from FFIX.

[Jebus]

Loathe as I am to admit it, FFVIII did have an amazing intro.

Although Suikoden III did also have a great one.

Endings though...I don't like endings. It means the game is over. :{

Best opening? I can't really decide. I'll agree with the people who said VIII had a cool intro, but I don't think it's the best. I think the best opening for me was the way FFIV opened. Even though I already saw it before I actually owned a SNES and FFIV, my grandma was watching me play my own SNES for the first time. Obviously, FFIV was the first game that I got for it. As the Red Wing airships flew over the world map with the majestic theme playing, I still remember my grandma amazed by simply saying "It's beautiful..."

Although she wasn't a big gamer, she did screw around with OLD PC games and, along with my parents, played HOURS of Tetris. So she recognized the graphical leap the SNES made. Heh, I just remember that she was also floored when I first got my N64 while watching me play Super Mario 64!

Ending? I don't have any personal stories to share on that one, but I'll name a few that I enjoyed a lot...

*Mega Man 2
*FFIV
*FFVII
*FFVI
*Chrono Trigger
*ICO
*Super Metroid
*Ocrina of Time
*Wind Waker
