PSLS Retrospective – 10 Best RPG Openings on PS2
When people think about RPG’s they usually think about the great story lines, the unique characters or the fun combat and exploration. But another thing that most RPG’s have in common is a great introduction. A good introduction to a game is very important as it gives you a great intro into the environments, characters and if the song fits, can get a person pretty psyched to play a game, if they aren’t already.

l was about go crazy if u didn’t have the FFX intro because that is best inro. l love hearing Jecht’s music & Sin destroying the city
FFX is just classic, I wish it could get a PSN release along with alot of these RPGs.
All the Final Fantasy games have fantastic openings and while FFX is my favourite FF game of all time i think FF X – 2 had the best intro of all time.
The song “Real Emotion” coupled with the simplistic movie introducing the game’s main protagonists really grabbed my attention and got me fired up more than any other game intro i’ve seen.
@wtGp Final Fantasy VIII has the best opening of all time….
Final Fantasy X is a great intro but i don’t think its the best on the list.. Actually I don’t think its top 5 personally
I agreed with David. Although FF X-2 was just too feminine for me to finish (I made it 4 hours), the opening scene was grand, fun, and impressive. It should be on this list no matter what anyone thought about the rest of the game.
FF X was girlish Japanese pop.. i hated it
Dark Cloud 2 was pretty sweet- DC was one of my favorite ps2 games of all time. I maxed out my clock, i have no idea how many real hours i’ve logged. I just thought the weapon system was genius, and the way swords would evolve was something i really got attached to.
