The Legend of Heroes: Ao no Kiseki - ninkendo https://youtu.be/eCFars0Xyxg I was actually kind of digging this one during the opening 20 to 30 seconds with the moody piano and distorted vocals, but starting at about 0:30, it lost me by turning into a generic theme song with lazily presented (mostly still) images of characters without any memorable designs. Given the dramatically different tone at the start, it felt like they were trying to grab the viewers interest with something intriguing initially, as if the creators knew they had to compensate for the rest of the intro being so conventional. Also, maybe its because Ive spent too much time on this board, but that character pose at around 1:20 felt like it was ripped out of a Phoenix Wright game. And the only reason I even mention that is because I have so little to say about this intro otherwise and needed to fill space in the write-up. Okay, next. 93. Suikoden 3 - DomaDragoon https://youtu.be/fA_gDnwcdZ8 This intro had a promising start with dreamy vocals accompanying someone riding a horse through the clouds and an aesthetic landscape. But it went nowhere, with around three minutes of random clips. Rather than using the visuals to tell a story, the intro relies on text interludes with vague messages like the story never ends and love never dies, which could apply to countless other games just as easily. The tribal theme song was easily the strongest aspect of the intro, but it didnt seem particularly well connected to the settings or characters depicted in the visuals. And the animation was nothing special and thoroughly average. Not much more to say about this one really. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
