kupoartist is on a distinguished road
1. FFVIII : The now famous Liberi Fatali / Squall - Seifer battle was fantastic... the action kept your mind off of the fact that the scenery was intentionally unspectacular (except in the rinoa bits of course), and the music kept you watching on through the amazingly choregraphed battle.
2. FFX : Made Blitzball look amazing, made Auron look badass, made you momentarily forget that Tidus sounds like a 5 year-old. And the quality of the FMV and the detail in the scenes give it the edge over most of the others.
3. FFVII : Graphically, "you had to be there at the time" (ie. at release) to fully appreciate, but the "camera" tricks employed were truley inspirational - as it pulls out from Aeris to show the massive midgar, and flashes to the wheels of a train. Short but sweet, and there to practically say "an epic story is about to unfold." bliss ^_^
4. FFXI : The longest (7 Minutes), though ultimately pointless in how it attempts to portray some kind of story lacking from the actual game. Wonderful scenes and action... and those black-mage taratarus are just so cute!
5. FFIX : Nothing particuarly bad, nor overly interesting. Simply felt like "ohhh pretty graphics", but with no true action... but then FFIX leaves the fireworks until later

(and the psx "remake" fmvs are nice enough... but really add very little)
