Honestly, I've only seen the first three, but they're all so... Stunning, even despite the fact that the graphics are outdated and, mostly, everything is 3D. I left my Suikoden 2 game on, at the title screen, for a while. I came back and reveled at the great opening. The way those 2D pictures flow across the screen, the music... Does anyone else really enjoy these?

I'unno. Maybe I'm just being a nostalgic sap.

Suikoden III's opening was amazing I thought, it was 2D but it was also practically an anime, I wish they'd do something more creative like that again in the newer releases.

I really liked Suikoden 3's opening too. The music was good, the images were good... it kinda gets me all excited to go play through the game again.

I's was decent (the music was definitely the best part), but I really loved the Sega Saturn version. II's and III's are both excellent, with III's being my favorite in the series. I also really enjoyed IV's and V's too (particularly the music in both). Tierkreis' also looks pretty good, although I wish we were getting the vocalized version here in the US.

i enjoyed all the openings from all the games. III seems to be my favorite out of all of them but IV gave it a run for its money. V and II were good and I had the best music for me

I enjoyed the openings as well. The visual and music was very captivating in the third.

I I haven't seen I's opening so...
II was okay.
III has an excellent (to me) compilation of both music and images displayed.
IV only the music.
V same as III especially the display of all the Runes in the Suikoden world at the end (SO KOOL!). :mrgreen:

I liked all the openings too!
Suikoden 4's especially.....I'd keep the game on running for awhile just to keep re-watching the opening.
I did the same with Tierkreis (vocalized) opening as well...though not as long cuz my DS' battery would die
If I had to rank em...it'd be 4, Tierkreis (vocalized vers), 2, 3, 5, Tactics, 1

--Tactics & Suiko 1's (not the Sega Saturn opening...the regular ol' one) on the bottom cuz they both had parts that made it [to me] feel more like "gameplay" vids and/or a fancy trailer rather than...an actual "opening"
--I didn't like 5's opening song as much as the ones before it.....
--2 and 3 tied for giving sense of struggle....one of the epic things that defines Suikoden series I think =)
--and 4 and 5 tie cuz of above mentioned....plus I really like the music.

The thing that I liked about S1's intro is, despite the fact that the intro seems like a glorified video of gameplay, it really isn't. It seemed like they just used the game's engine to create cutscenes because of the lack of 3D/Anime capability. Among those scenes, I remember Odessa, Flik, and Humphrey "fighting" in a battle, Barbosa and Windy talking, and Ted, Gremio, and McDohl walking towards the peak of a mountain.

I really liked the music to Suikoden II's opening where it built to a crescendo. I actually have that music on one of my video game compilation music CDs in my car.

Suikoden III was good as well.
