Somehow despite being a huge fan of this game on the SNES and having played it through more times than I can count, I had never seen this sequence before. Admittedly Im doubtful this intro would have ranked nearly as high if I didnt know the game so well, since its tough to get much of a sense of the plot or characters from it. But this intro really leans into the nostalgia factor, starting with a photograph of the characters that makes me feel like Im looking at a picture of old friends. And then that sweeping theme song kicks in at around 0:50, which immediately brings back so many memories.

One aspect of the game that clearly comes across from the intro is the theme of time travel, as we see the years rapidly turning backward and forward with the movement of a clock. The action sequences that follow are well animated, and at least most of the time, manage to avoid looking like an episode of Dragon Ball. Some of these clips do a better job than others of bringing out the personalities of the characters, such as the part where we see Magus in the moonlight giving an unsettling smile.

I do think the intro is lacking in story overall, but like I said, that hardly matters if youve played the game before.
