Something wicked comes this way... NOW! INTRO!!!

[snabbott]

For a long time in the beta, this was a combination of lower-quality video and drawings/text. I was blown away when I saw the real version!

I was blown away when I saw the real version!

Had a good idea of what was going to happen from released overviews and digging through files in the demos, but still absolutely amazing to see the real thing!

I love it, i cant believe Tomorrow is Episode 1 

Will they talk in that Opening, since its kinda weird to see everything in Silence like a 1930 Black and White Movie. 

I must say that Everything looks Amazing, but those Gnarly Fingers of All the Characters.

WANT!

...I have been reading too much Twilight snark... I kept thinking things like: "Man, Valanice can really move in that dress!", etc.

Still, fantastic intro! Tá sin iontach!! (I went to the effort of typing that in Sláine... a Gaelic font... but it didn't work   ...oh, well, it brought over the accents at least. ) (iontach is high praise because it means so many good things: wonderful, marvelous, fantastic, you get the idea... only word to describe that intro )

..., but those Gnarly Fingers of All the Characters. 

I actually don't like the spider-y finger look as a rule, but I liked the fingers here for some reason. *shrugs*

the intro is silent as a homage to the Sierra games of the old, and other intros such as Final Fantasy VIII's intro. Also, personally, I'm very proud of an intro that carries you for 6 mins without a single spoken word. (well, aside for the "Alexander" but that falls more in the category of sound effect.)

You'll hear a lot of characters speaking right after, so... don't worry

[tessspoon]

I really liked the way there was no talking, put a real emphasis on what was happening.

[kindofdoon]

I agree. It's extremely cinematic.

GAH!  I'm tempted to look but I don't think I should. Y'all love to tease us fans, don't you? 

[Tolin]

Just wait... it gets better.



Yeah, the intro was a very emotional bit for me... well done!  I would have liked to hear a little dialogue, and then have it go silent as Rosella enters... but that's just my opinion on it.  It's beautiful as it is.  

(Kept very vague for anyone who is waiting, which I have to assume are several of you.)

Watch it! Shadrack commands you to!

Not in the intro, no.

My heart... oh my heart. (Ferngully quote for those who don't know.)

SPEECHLESS.

It doesn't actually tell us much that we don't already know.

Epic trailer is epic!

I just saw the intro on G4's website...amazing! I felt like a kid again, completely smitten as I watched the King's Quest VI intro for the first time.

I am so excited to play this game!  Most sincere thanks to everyone that had a hand in making this game possible!

Something about the intro reminds me a lot of Kingdom Hearts--and I say that as a compliment since the Kingdom Hearts series is my second favorite series next to, of course, King's Quest--And in fact that series somehow reminded me of KQ when I first played it. Both the atmosphere, the epicness, and the general beauty of it remind me of Kingdom Hearts.

Truly a beautiful, cinematic intro.

[I_am_so_nifty]

Part of the similarity between KQ and Kingdom Hearts may lie in the whole "black cloak = evil" concept.

But yeah, though I don't actually see a bunch of similarity beyond that, it's certainly not a bad thing to be compared with.

*absolutely LOVES Kingdom Hearts* one of my fav series ever!

Playing the DS game right now. Can't wait for KH3 on the PS3!! whenever Square Enix decides to do that! and can't wait for Birth By Sleep!!!!

But yeah, though I don't actually see a bunch of similarity beyond that, it's certainly not a bad thing to be compared with.

It's just the innocent, Disney-ish tone and silliness along with a heavy atmosphere of romance (like in KQ6) reminded me of KQ. The intro reminds me of Kingdom Hearts in both it's beauty with Rosella walking down the Isle, and the darker parts of KH, and it's in a very good way.
This game is looking epic, essentially.

Seeing all of the old characters, like the Royal Family Hakim, Sing Sing, the Queens of Chessboard Land,  the land of the Green Isles itself--All characters I've cherished and loved since I was just five years old--Seeing them all together, and in a way I always longed to--3D--It feels like a homecoming, or a return to youth. Either way the introduction inspired in me a great sentimentality--Like finally returning to a place you once loved, where you were happy. That's what KQ always was to me--A place I could escape to from the stresses of life, both when playing it, and even in my dreams--And that place is open once more it seems.
