The dance scene, I thought it was very romantic, and it shows love at first sight.

Hmm, Difficult choice, The Garden battle was good but I'd have to go with the Starting scene or the one where the Dollet machine chased you trough the city and Quistis shoots it.

I loved the opening scene with the battle between Squall and Seifer. But, I'll have to go with the dance scene. It's a pretty cool, funny, and romantic scene.

The Opening one for sure-nice music and the whole "I'll be there" thing was cool. Other than that, the dancing scene was awesome-catchy tune and you can't help but to get up and dance with it.

Battle of the Gardens !

I loved seeing the background while Squall and Rinoa were running to get to the Galbadian Garden. When the SeeD close-lined the galbadian soilder on his motorcycle. and all the explosions. It was badassed.
second i'd go with space.
then third i'd go with the end.
then the opening.

I like the dance scene. There's something...beautifully...poetic about it. It's just a beatiful romantic scene.

Now, the opening must be mentioned. It's a spectacular scene. And the battling gardens is a pretty intense scene as well.

The opeing scene was totally kick ass with the fight with seifer and Squall but i would have to say my most favousrite fmv in the game would have top be when the two crash together and the quad for balamb garden starts to crumble which makes rinoa fall and she is hanging off the edge waitin for you to save her. It is so kool when you do dave her and you view the battle of the two gardens behind you it kicks so much ass!

The opening scene just because it's always the first thing that comes to my mind when someone says FF VIII fmv. Although, I'd have to say a close second is the scene where the two Gardens are battling it out.

It is E-X-T-R-E-M-E-L-Y hard to choice only one.
For me, all of them are GREAT!
But I choosed ending because of many emotions there. When Laguna is on the field and Seifer with friends I feel so weak... But credits were the best! Home videos with all characters... Great!
But as I said, all FMWs are super.
