almost 15 years, still give me the chills ahh...i miss these moment where i first play this game...that opening...that character...that game...that ending...
Having played through just about all FF's this one still holds a special place in me. One of my favourite games of ALL TIME & one of the best soundtracks of all time.
I'm not the biggest FFVIII fan, but I will say it had one of the best intros. The buildup in the transition from feather to sword (as it graciously swings to the ground) got me really, really excited when I first saw this. Just sitting in the rain while the cello is played in the background.
A suiting opening for such an awesome game. This is probably the most memorable Final Fantasy I've played yet, with an awesome world and the best music.
I'll be here... Why...? I'll be waiting..here.. Who are you? I'll be waiting...for you...so... If you come here... You'll find me. I promise. Get the fuck out of my head!
Squall is my favourite video game character of all time. It used to be Cloud. I think I may be one of the few who actually begun with FFVII and liked VIII the best. VII has better gameplay but that's pretty much it. Graphics, story, music, characters and world all go to VIII. Hmm, VII had better villain as well...the best in fact! Rinoa>Tifa for me too.
This is my favorite Final Fantasy of them all...epic opening. I love this game..its the first on i ever played and my dad and i spent countless hours playing the hell out of it.
Epic. I replayed this game two weeks ago, still playing, and I feel like I'm 11 years old again like tomorrow never comes. I'm so glad I spared time to play this great game. When searching on youtube for this opening FMV, under the searchbox was "Did you mean: Final fantasy VII opening?" and I went "OH come on! Give FFVIII some credit already"... FFVIII really should have a movie... really. I've finised this game 3 times before. I'll never tire of it. Thank you for posting this up!!!
This is definitely one of my favorite scenes from any video game of all time. It's Alluring It's Beautiful It's Poetic It summons 10,000 different thoughts and emotions which surge through the soul, mind, and body all at once. It lifts the very sense of your being onto Silver Wings. It's the Pounding of your Heart It's the Coursing of your Blood It's the very energy that exists in the core of the Universe. I think that means that this is one killer video. Don't get lost in it.
IMO this has to be one of the best openings in the FF series. The fight is memorable and I love how it shows glimpses of the future. The song playing in the background has such a great buildup and all in all is just awesome.
I just love this opening, so breathtaking, my cousin had this game, so everytime I went to her house she will put it and I would be so happy and hypnotized on the screen, love it forever!! S&R
When I first watched this intro it screamed at me Get ready to play through an epic story you will LOVE. FF always had terrific intro's. This,VII,X,XII are my favorites. Its good that holidays started. I'm gonna play it once more just to feel young again.
I remembered when I got this game...9 years ago I think...and as soon as I saw this opening sequence I knew this game was gonna be awesome and it didn't disappoint.
I'm happy to know someone understands where I'm coming from. Thanks! I'm glad you agree with me. FFVIII is sooooo different and it's hated because of it. It was the first game in the series that was actually DRASTICALLY different. I can understand why because the drawing aspect even irritates me from time to time before I just stop doing it altogether (no encounter ability haha) but it's still my #1 FF game. Squall and Rinoa's emotional rollercoaster journey was EPIC!
lol wings i remember the same experience. My brother came home with the game and we watched this opening scene 3 times before he started playing it. Brings back the memories
Final Fantasy VIII was the first Final Fantasy I've ever played and is the one that brought me to the series, therefore it is no surprise that it is my favorite of out all FF titles released.
oh yeah that old time i am now 15 when i played it i have like 13 o 12 the best moments of my childhood the video games of Final fantasy congratulations men this kind of games like final fantasy and RPG will have a special place in my heart
u would love it, i havent played this game since 6th grade which is like 8 or 9 yrs ago but I remember it was myfavourite game (including amongst the FFs) of all time.
wooow... you know it's been ten years since this game came out and the graphics are still pretty good... well, even if there are games with much better graphics -- you can't deny how well the direction, timing, and music was carried out... probably one of(if not THE) greatest openings ever. i never get tired of it (:
FF VIII was my first FF and while it hasn't remained my fav I can't see why anyone would consider any FF less then a masterpiece. You should definitly try it out if you can find it!
I was not the biggest fan of FF8, but I can honestly say (in my opinion) this game has the best Intro and Opening Theme song in the current history of Final Fantasy, even to this very day. It honestly gives me chills.
When Square figured out how the Gunblade shell propulsion works in Dissidia, man did its use really turn out to be so cool and shown why mastery of it is hard.
I absoultly loved this game. I remember i was unable to complete it because one of the disk got scrattched and wouldn't allow me to continue. But i'll always have fond memories of this game. Even though it was 10 years go and i was 10 year old
I remember the day my uncle bought the game I was like 6 or 7 and we put the game, and we were HOLY SHIT ,DAT OPENING, he never let me play it since I was to stupid to play it, but I would watch him play for hours almost every night. Then as I grew older I remembered about this game and decided to play it, FUCKING LOVE THIS GAME, it is a very special game to me.
I like how Squall's first limit and Seifer's only limit are the same as what they use in the opening to scar each other. Makes the opening feel like a cinematic version of a battle.
gosh this opening used to scare me when it first came out in '99 (i was 8) but i still watched the whole game play and that made me love it. now i'm playing it for the first time and i've completed 1/3 of the game in 4 days =D
I'm not nearly old enough to have experienced the PS1 FF craze, but I can only imagine what this must have looked like to people when they first saw it in the 90s.
Best FF intro ever. But then, FF8 was pure awesome from start to finish.
almost 15 years, still give me the chills
ahh...i miss these moment where i first play this game...that opening...that character...that game...that ending...
Properly the most graphic twist in FF history... EPIC!
Having played through just about all FF's this one still holds a special place in me. One of my favourite games of ALL TIME & one of the best soundtracks of all time.
even watching this now still makes me tingle inside, love it. deffo one of best game opening scenes.
i want to be a kid again and see this opening for the first time - i love it.♥
I'm not the biggest FFVIII fan, but I will say it had one of the best intros. The buildup in the transition from feather to sword (as it graciously swings to the ground) got me really, really excited when I first saw this. Just sitting in the rain while the cello is played in the background.
This still sends chills down my spine...
Even after 10 years, this is still one of the best openings ever made. Props to Square for this unforgettable sequence in Final Fantasy history.
the good old times.........
Maybe 10 Years ago. i played this Game with my best friend :-)
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UPLOADING
FUCKING BEST INTRO IN DA WORLXDDDDDD
Happy 20th aniversary FFVIII 11/2/1999
Looks like Squall got his wardrobe from hot topic
I remember watching this opening for the first time..i was 11 years and it was my first final fantasy..i will never forget it.
A suiting opening for such an awesome game. This is probably the most memorable Final Fantasy I've played yet, with an awesome world and the best music.
Can I get a thumbs up for for unapologetic over the top-ed-ness!!!!

Get the fuck out of my head!

I think the music is better in 7, but that's just me
This is my favorite Final Fantasy of them all...epic opening. I love this game..its the first on i ever played and my dad and i spent countless hours playing the hell out of it.
Gave you the sub because you deserve it. You've been making content for 12 years and still going in 2018. That's dedication.
Keep trying cloud.

Thank you for posting this up!!!
This is the best opening scene for a game I've ever seen. The direction is amazing, the music is absolutely stunning.
The end still gives me chills everytime.
Ah thank you so much for uploading this. Still to this day I get cold chills when I see this intro video.
-Y-
This is definitely one of my favorite scenes from any video game of all time.
It's Alluring
It's Beautiful
It's Poetic
It summons 10,000 different thoughts and emotions which surge through the soul, mind, and body all at once.
It lifts the very sense of your being onto Silver Wings.
It's the Pounding of your Heart
It's the Coursing of your Blood
It's the very energy that exists in the core of the Universe.
I think that means that this is one killer video. Don't get lost in it.

S&R
that is without a doubt one of the best video game openings ever...
This is my favorite Final Fantasy of them all...epic opening.
Among all FF's, this one has a special flavour to it. So many great aspects and mechanics. I simply loved it!
When I first watched this intro it screamed at me Get ready to play through an epic story you will LOVE.
FF always had terrific intro's. This,VII,X,XII are my favorites. Its good that holidays started. I'm gonna play it once more just to feel young again.
Seriously, I loved this game so much. My favorite RPG for TV based console. It had one of the best music too.
I remember when I was like 6 and I watched this (my brother was playing it) for the first time. Gave me chills...still does
I've always loved the cutscenes of this game. The opening and the trip to Dollet for the SeeD exam are my favorite.
I remembered when I got this game...9 years ago I think...and as soon as I saw this opening sequence I knew this game was gonna be awesome and it didn't disappoint.
This was way ahead of its time. Graphics, sound and all!
Every time I watch the opening, my emotions go crazy! XD
The music is magical. ;]
this brings back lots of memories... memories of when i was young.
This is the best opening. EVER. And will always be the best
i love the gradual build up in story and relationships , and the lack of cut scenes to skip a journey , sharing dreams on train trip i could go on
I'm happy to know someone understands where I'm coming from. Thanks! I'm glad you agree with me. FFVIII is sooooo different and it's hated because of it. It was the first game in the series that was actually DRASTICALLY different. I can understand why because the drawing aspect even irritates me from time to time before I just stop doing it altogether (no encounter ability haha) but it's still my #1 FF game. Squall and Rinoa's emotional rollercoaster journey was EPIC!
VIII's cinematics are the most impressive in a game to date, and top tier across any medium. Masterwork of visuals, story, art and music.
this epic intro...is what brought me to my love of RPG's and Final Fintasy
Man, what an intro, it had action it had feeling and mystery. This is what makes you want to play a game.
lol wings i remember the same experience.
My brother came home with the game and we watched this opening scene 3 times before he started playing it.
Brings back the memories
Final Fantasy VIII was the first Final Fantasy I've ever played and is the one that brought me to the series, therefore it is no surprise that it is my favorite of out all FF titles released.
This is by far the best Final Fantasy game opening EVER!!
Plus one of the best Final Fantasy games out there. (I think) ;P
oh yeah that old time i am now 15 when i played it i have like 13 o 12 the best moments of my childhood the video games of Final fantasy congratulations men this kind of games like final fantasy and RPG will have a special place in my heart
one of the greatest game I've ever played:)
I only recently played this game for the first time. And wow. No other game before this one ever gave me goosebumps.
I love this so much. It's so beautiful. FF8 is amazing.
This has to be one of the best openings out there! and I have that Griever necklace ^_^
po tylu latach oglądania tego intra....GENIALNA muzyka :)
The most beautiful opening of all times !
I remember when I saw this a while back when ff8 just came out. It was by far the most impressive opening I had ever seen for a game
I remember watching it the first time with my little brother..... :´(
What a wonderful time...
It's a classic that will never be forgotten
When i first bought this game after playing the demo and seeing the trailer, this intro gave me goosebumps. And the game was very good.
Most trippy FF opening ever. LOVED IT!
Bought my playstation for this. Loved it, so little sleep for weeks.
cut scenes rare & never used to skip things importantly but beautiful rare gems
u would love it, i havent played this game since 6th grade which is like 8 or 9 yrs ago but I remember it was myfavourite game (including amongst the FFs) of all time.
One of the best openings ever in a Final Fantasy game.
This doesn't need a remake. It is fantastic just as it is.
This game converted me to Final Fantasy and Playstation...10 years later...Still going strong! Fave PSOne game!!!
Just listen to the music...EPIC!!!
This is the best Final Fatansy ever!!!
I miss the old style of final fantasy, like that one
I've played this for meny months ^^
i played this game 30th time ^^. I so love this game. i played it when i was 8 after i finished FFX.
Until now im 16, i still can't get over it
The best Final Fantasy ever. It is my favourite! and I am playing it since I was 10.
And Rinoa is gorgeous, the most beautiful girl on FF
When i was a kid this absolutely blew me away.
i wish i was a kid again and forget that i ever played this so that i could play it again and again. great times.
ostatni raz grałam w FF VIII ponad 7 lat temu. Oglądając to intro wzruszyłam się. Pamiętałam je dokładnie. mam nadzieję że jeszcze kiedyś zagram...
One of the few games that i felt myself actually get emotionally attached to. My favorite game/story ever.
the best opening for a game...that's for sure...still give me chills.....
One of the best Opening's in gaming history!
wooow... you know it's been ten years since this game came out and the graphics are still pretty good...
well, even if there are games with much better graphics -- you can't deny how well the direction, timing, and music was carried out... probably one of(if not THE) greatest openings ever.
i never get tired of it (:
FF VIII was my first FF and while it hasn't remained my fav I can't see why anyone would consider any FF less then a masterpiece. You should definitly try it out if you can find it!
Best Opening Vid + Music So Far In The Final Fantasy Series!
thats what i suppose to be....
its been 8 years since i played this game..what limits?
and do you know where i can get this?
In your opinion, that is.I played them all and this is one of the best stories in the series.
It's 2012 and I'm still playing this one
If this opening sequence doesn't get you amped up, then all hope is lost for you
This game is realy great, i've played the game ever and ever again, the story is very cool and i like the chars. I LOVE IT :)
I was not the biggest fan of FF8, but I can honestly say (in my opinion) this game has the best Intro and Opening Theme song in the current history of Final Fantasy, even to this very day. It honestly gives me chills.
The first final fantasy game I've ever played, and still my top favorite
I still get goosebumps from watching that.
Monster of a game with amazing music score and plot.
I miss this i loved it as a kid it was the best 1
wow... i can't believe this game is getting already 10 years old O.o... still one of my favourites
When Square figured out how the Gunblade shell propulsion works in Dissidia, man did its use really turn out to be so cool and shown why mastery of it is hard.
I absoultly loved this game. I remember i was unable to complete it because one of the disk got scrattched and wouldn't allow me to continue. But i'll always have fond memories of this game. Even though it was 10 years go and i was 10 year old

Out of all the movie sequences in this game, this one is my favorite.
I like how Squall's first limit and Seifer's only limit are the same as what they use in the opening to scar each other. Makes the opening feel like a cinematic version of a battle.
one of my favorite opening

now i'm playing it for the first time and i've completed 1/3 of the game in 4 days =D
I don't know whyyyyy y'all hate this amazing video but for sure THIS would be the best intro of all time! Love FF8
@oooswain
It SO should. omg. How many years ago? Still causes goose bumps.
I'm not nearly old enough to have experienced the PS1 FF craze, but I can only imagine what this must have looked like to people when they first saw it in the 90s.
