The Final Fantasy 8 opening intro movie definitely has to be one of the best Computer Generated openings in videogame history.
Although it’s looking a bit dated by today’s high-definition standards, the intro movie for FFVIII is still one of the best in style, grandiose, story and engagement. It simply rocks. Even if you don’t know the characters, I think you can feel an emotional attachment on some level in this clip. And the scene where the sword strikes the ground, and then you see “Final Fantasy VIII” logo flash across the screen in such a cool manner will forever be ingrained in my brain. It also comes at such a crescendo that you can’t help but be impressed.
Back when this game came out in 1999, this intro movie BLEW YOUR MIND. It was quite simply the best CG you had ever seen in a videogame, and it got you extremely hyped up to play the game. Which sadly, couldn’t quite stack up graphically or pace-wise compared to the intro. As FFVIII is a pretty slow-going game in the initial 10-20 hours of play.
Without further ado, here is the awesome intro to Final Fantasy VIII.
