I love all the knuckle-draggers and mouth-breathers who say, "The intro makes no sense." Of course it doesn't make sense. Yet. By show of hands, who watched the intro and thought to themselves, "OHHH, I get it!!! That sorceress wants to use time compression, this guy falls in love with that chick, and all the characters have a connection via an orphanage." The producers and writers did that on purpose. It forces you to want to figure out exactly what the hell is going on. Hook, line, and sinker. If you knew what was going to happen, why would you continue the game?

The highlighted part was kinda hard to miss from the opening video
But then, they gave us little choice except to be aware of the romantic angle, even months before the game's release...

I second that

[Marky Tee]

i want to know any guy or chick if its your thing who watched the intro and didnt think "hey that chick with the dark dress is hot"

[Takara]

Edea is hot. I wish I could look that hot at her age (whatever her real age is) without plastic surgery.

Now, as for the intro itself, I loved Liberi Fatali, and used to think it was the best intro. But then FFXII came out and its intro made me fangasm. But I still love Liberi Fatali.

My second favorite!

My favorite is FFX (...but I count everything up to getting swallowed by Sin as the intro).

I thought its a tie between IX and XII

Although this opening did give me much hope. But it was dashed by the rest

[Aerith's Knight]

oh yeah, FFXII's opening was pretty awsome..

Yes. I agree. It ends up becoming overly dramatic and memorable, and that can end up being a good thing or a bad thing for some people.

I like the opening that you mentioned, too, but I didn't like the music for it that much as it pertains to its place in the game.
