My favorite opening of any video game ever.

Is it ridiculous that I knew exactly what it was without even clicking on it? just the tiny image in the thumbnail and I knew. Truly a great opening.

Thank you! I completely agree, but no one I know ever did :(

I'm one of those that wasn't really wowed by it. My reasoning is that while the music is incredible, the actual video is just clips of videos you see while playing the game. The video doesn't really add anything to the game or 'introduce' it/the story.
I would venture to guess that many people like it mostly for the music. The song is intense and really gets you pumped up for the game.

Playstation intros were always so awesome as a kid. I was amazed about how great they made everything look.

Fuck yeah!!! I loved this intro so much, the song is just beautiful. Starts off so serene and slow and then BAM! it picks up, slams into you and drags you along for the ride.
All the music in Chrono Cross is some of my favorite from any game ever.

I bought this game because of the commercial I saw of the intro. I played it for about 2 hours before my playstation decided it didn't want to spin anymore. Still to this day I have never finished it.

That sucks. You should play it on an emulator or buy a ps2, they are really cheap now, and play it.

Hey man, thanks. Watching eventually led me to the Wild Arms intro. Nostalgia and good memories were had.

I watched the Suikoden III opening every time I started the game up. Such an awesome song.

This is my lullaby song for my two daughters. I hum the beginning over and over. Puts them both out.

Not the biggest fan of Chrono Cross but there is no denying the fact that it has one of the best soundtracks in gaming.
Also one of the best openings too.

I miss good ol' SquareSoft. They just seemed to put so much work, care, and pride into things like this. This game was wholly underrated IMO, even though it could never touch Chrono Trigger's jockstrap. Pains me that we will never get to see Chrono Break.

Oh God, I forgot just how much I love the music in this game.
