This is a tale of souls and swords, eternally retold.
Lets go back in time, when games did not include achievements/trophies and online play. Graphics were so good that gamers couldn't comprehend anything better.
Enjoy the top 5 most iconic Intros from the 90's.

You can not beat FF8s intro, it amazed me when I first bought it...and still does today.
I think we've got to give credit to the great soundtrack aswell though
Seeing the intro being played on a tv in EB Games is the whole reason I bought FFVIII. I had no idea what the game was about, but it looked gorgeous and I knew I wanted it. :D
The best part about it is that there's no dialogue, it's the music and actions on screen which draw you into it.
and this was a PS1 game
Agreed, FF8's opening is still probably my favorite of all time. Metal Gear Solid 2 has a fantastic opening as well. Also, I randomly listened to the "DK Rap" at work yesterday. It's still bad in the best possible way. Also also-- great list. =)
PSU - Okay folks, don’t deny it. You’ve been sitting there playing one of your favourite PSOne Classics that you’ve just downloaded from the PlayStation Store, and you’re basking in nostalgia. Those pixelated pleasures are bringing back found memories of the ‘90s, back when Live & Kicking was still the best thing on a Saturday morning and Lara Croft was decorating the bedroom wall of lusty teenagers everywhere. Yet, concurrently, you can’t help but think, “Wouldn’t this game be bloody fantastic if it got a full blown PS3 makeover?” If so, then you’re not alone.
I love Medal of Honor, Legend of Dragoon, and Crash Team Racing.
I put so many hours into CTR its ridiculous. Medal of Honor was basically like the first shooter game I really played it was great. Legend of Dragoon is a fantastic RPG
I rather have the remakes for the PS4. Time to move on from the PS3 in my opinion.
In case anyone didn't know.
Oddworld Abe's Oddysee is coming to PSN next year in HD! 2.5D keeping the same artstyle but really enhancing the visuals and fluidity. I am more than excited. I hope for Exoddus too as these two games are my personal favorite games ever.
I can't believe I haven't played this yet actually. Every year I beat either one or two of FF's, chrono trigger, and recently played Xenogears and Suikoden 2 which will add to the list. FF7 was the most recent replay. Back in march or something
i believe meru being a dragoon that early in the game is a save glitch that you can do
Game was great fun back in PS1 days though don't know how it would it translate over to current gen of FPS lovers TBH. Seriously, there was so much more variety back when PS1 was around. Also had a lot of fun with the jet moto series back then as well.
Personally, I'd go with...
Final Fantasy VII - but only if I knew Square could pull it off for certain, which is doubtful, regrettably.
Rollcage
Fear Effect
JumpingFlash!
Rival Schools
The Legend Of Dragoon
The Adventures Of Alundra
Vagrant Story
Ape Escape
Galerians
Soul Blade, as much as I love it, doesn't really need remaking as we've got Soulcalibur V on the way. I mean, to this day the Soulcalibur series doesn't really do anything that different from what was established at the very beginning.
Parappa The Rapper is perfect; it doesn't need remaking. Just give us Parappa The Rapper 3 instead.
The PlayStation, and PlayStation 2 are my favorite consoles of all time, and I doubt that will ever change
I loved Soul Blade on PS1. Not many people know that this is the first game in the Soul Calibour series.
Still the best in the series.
The best Soul game easily. In fact
1. Soul Blade (great arcade mode with 2 possible endings for most characters, in Edge Master Mode you got to play out the character's story better and experience the interactions with main rivals in the story and collect all their different weapons).
2. Soul Calibur III (SO many features, characters and modes including a strategy game that blended the one on one fighting for encounters perfectly).
3. Soul Calibur II
4. Soul Calibur V
5. Soul Calibur (easily the most overated game of the series, there wasn't even multiple weapons to collect for characters and it started the more mundane version of "Edge Master Mode" from Soul Blade where you just picked any random character from the roster and didn't actually get to play out their story)
6. Soul Calibur IV (the only reason Soul Calibur isn't here is because of the existence of this pile of crap).
One of the best gaming soundtracks of the 90's if not all time. This is when developers did things like add three different versions of the soundtrack. It's almost like they were trying to makeup for the limitations of the graphics. Back then they seemed to care more about the soundtrack.
That announcer tho, I loved the way he barely made sense but at the same time some of the coolest dialog. Not strictly speaking about the first game but the series in general.
