I agree about Ys; " Gate of Thunder " also has a great intro movie. I'll think of more later.

someone mentioned this in the "bad intro" thread, but that anime intro for kof98 for dc (i forget its name. kof99 super edition or something) was fking great. also, Final Fantasy VI psx opening. and Chrono Cross's intro was beautiful! i never played the game, but i downloaded the intro a while back. very nice

some that weren't mentioned are
- Last Blade 2 (the one that begins with Kaede unsheathing his blade)
- King of Fighters 2002
- Final Fantasy VIII (well, not the opening before the game begins, but the cut scene intro. god, it's the best Final Fantasy intro imo)

i'll think of more later. i know there's a lot more out there

Hmm I think the intro to MegaMan 8 is very good. I also liked the intro to MegaMan 4...

I agree that Dream Match 99's animated intro was good.

Ah.. but my favorite intro has to be for Lunar: Silver Star Story for the Sega CD. I still pop it in today just to watch that. When I was a kid I was blown away by the animation, and I like the song too. Also, it was the first time I saw my favorite RPG villain Ghaleon.. so it gets bonus points.

The best are:

-RPG: Wild Arms (I NEVER skip this intro), Final Fantasy tactics, all af them (it has 4 intros, for those that don't know it), and Lunar for the PSX (I've not played the game, but the intro is great)

-Fighting: The Last Blade 2 (Great music, great images... Perfect), Soul Blade (The first time I saw it, I reseted the console THREE times before starting to play).

-Others: Ghost in the Shell (PSX), REmake, Tekken 3...

There are more, but this are the ones in my mind right now.
