it’s not an intro, but ps2 ggxx also inexplicably had this trailer thing for guilty gear x on the disc, which is an endlessly quotable cinematic masterpiece

that idol hakkenden intro is really impressive! they got a whole dance routine out of like three frames of animation, and the “crowd clapping” sound is really convincing too

Technically more of an intro as the game lacks a true opening cinema/attract mode deal (plus this vid includes the very first game part as it pops up right after but before “chapter 1” pops up), for whatever reason it is all dumb and yet when stacked together on top of one another it is the right combination of dumb to have me going “yes, exactly this!”

this is really nice. maybe even in the same league as the famous wild arms intro. i wish certain characters got more screen time in it, but i guess to give them that time would spoil some plot points for people watching this before playing the game.
i also like how the colours have that early digital anime look to them. reminds me a lot of strange dawn, which aired at around the same time as this game’s release
