Final Fantasy VIII - Original Unused Opening

This is the original Final Fantasy VIII opening scene from the early VIDEO demo. It was used as an advertisement/preview of the game, rather than an actual introduction.

This FMV does not appear on the playable demo, only in the early video demo. It is NOT fanmade.

when squalls gunblade gets stuck into the ground and then the bell rings is just the best part of the original intro.

now that is highly interesting. The real opening is my all time favourite game intro so to see an early version interests me a lot. but not really good this one. the final version is much better. Thanks for sharing

LOL WTF

[Cloud98]

This one looks badass.

The only thing that ruins it though its how abrubtly the music stops. =/

Love the part when gunblade stuck on the grounds and Bells Ringing...

[trickkrebs25]

sadly yes thats what i remember as well iam glad they decied not to use it for the opeing of the game

[zoletype]

It's totally accurate. I had this same demo i remembered it exactly, to the bells ringing when the gunblade hit the floor. Goosebumps!

This is the video that made me go out and buy Final Fantasy VIII. It was on a demo disc bundled with my friend's copy of FFVII. Aaah, good times and nostalgia...
