For me, the first game I was truly like “HOOOOOLY SHIT” was the very opening scene of Final Fantasy 8.. the waves crashing on the beach blew my (16 yo?) mind.

To be fair those cut scenes were unbelievable.

I just watched it for the first time and I could totally see that intro being mind blowing in 1999. I remember my friend showed me Final Fantasy X when that came out and that was how I responded to it as well.

Yes! It was a huge deal. It was mind bogglingly cool at the time.
