It definitely gave FE a lot of food for thought.

Final Fantasy XII topped it.

There's something to be said about Lost Odyssey's introduction sequence, too, what with the seamless transition into gameplay and all.

It's a neat wee video, and it introduces the central characters and themes effectively, while ignoring the majority of the main cast

I like how it includes, and foreshadows, some of the major events from later in the game - like Rinoa's prophetic dream, and her 'journey' to find Squall after he gets lost in compressed time.

I love it, I pretty much fell in love with FFVIII the moment I saw the intro. The music, the way it's all edited together, and the way it ends - after seeing it for the first time I knew I was going to like FFVIII. Did I mention how much I like Liberi Fatali....

Very much agreed on both accounts.

FFXII was preety damn good

I think that Final Fantasy VIII has one of the most dramatic opening sequences in a video game. It would benefit heavily from a remake or a touch up of graphics in a future port or remake.

Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec added a lot of weight to the introduction and I doubt that it would be as memorable as it is without that song. There is something about the strange Gregorian chanting and the timing of the full motion video sequences that burns it into your mind.

I still don't think that Final Fantasy VIII's ending has been topped, though.
