This shit is so ridiculous and epic. The music combined with that deadpan narration

Its cool how they gave the dude some pronunciation help for the Japanese names

I've never felt such charm and wistfulness for any other game world as I did when I first watched this intro play.

Woah, that's totally different from the Typing of the Dead opening for it.

Damn, such a good post from Mods Help.

In summation: DDS1 has the best game intro of all time.

The art of a good intro to draw the player in is dead. :'(

Konami during the PS2 gen had the best cinematic direction when it came to its developmental talent.

Thread fail, guys. You failed.

I really like the opening to Arc the Lad, as well:

And Star Ocean 2:

one of the best things about the revival of Japanese console gaming is the possibility of amazing intro's, but this time in hd. Last gen was sort of lacking, but Japan can do it this time, y'all.

Mods Help · « **Reply #17 on:** January 24, 2016, 10:39:42 PM »

I fucking love weeb games.

mormapope · « **Reply #18 on:** January 24, 2016, 10:47:59 PM »

Last gen had some really good intros from Japanese devs

Mods Help · « **Reply #19 on:** January 24, 2016, 10:50:56 PM »

Deadly Premonition's intro was next level despite the complete lack of budget.

Bebpo · « **Reply #20 on:** January 24, 2016, 11:06:35 PM »

Lost Odyssey opening was freaking amazing.

Tasty · « **Reply #21 on:** January 25, 2016, 12:33:41 AM »

I haven't even played SH3 but that intro has stuck with me for years. <3

Blue sky to forever~

You were thiiiiiiiis close to saying whimsy, weren't you?

I'll contribute some of my own favorites to this glorious thread later

I have no shame in using whimsy where appropriate. Wistfulness much more accurately describes the emotion I get from FFCC.

pretty all much, the game broke too much ground.

This is a next level intro, not from a game tho:

game was beast as fuck and is what sold me an Xbeast 360

The Sceneman · « **Reply #26 on:** January 25, 2016, 02:37:43 AM »

Yeah Lost Odyssey 2 would be something to get really excited about. A shame Mistwalker was just some MS moneyhat project which didn't get shit for sales. Well, it made me buy a 360, so MS win?

Even in 2016 The Pest is still too ahead of the curve imo. Waiting for Idiocracy irl where that kind of shit is Oscar bait

Nothing will ever top Chrono Trigger for me. The amount of shit they put in the intro that looked amazing but made no fucking sense. Futuristic city in the clouds? Sure why not. Dinosaurs? Ok. Haunted castle? You got it. Dragon tank? No problem. Robots? We got those. Giant skeletons? Right here. Space ship? You didn't think there'd be a spaceship in the game but in fact there's several. Motorcycle racing in the distant future? Bet you didn't see that coming after you're on trial in the past.

Fucking amazing.
