Tales is an multiverse with a pedigree that stretches back more than 20 years, beginning with Tales of Phantasia on the Super Famicom. Over that span, it's gone through directors, platforms, composers, character designers, crossovers, spinoffs, and a cast of so, so many characters. One thing that hasn't changed, though, is the famous Tales Opening animation. Usually clocking in at 1:30, each game's opening is a montage of character beats, setting pans, and bursts of breathtaking action, with music and animation quality, fantastic for its time. So, Tales Veterans, strap on your nostalgia goggles; Tales Newbies, pop open this time capsule into gaming history; and share what your favorite openings are (may vote as many times as you'd like) (If you're wondering why a particular sequel/spinoff appears in this list, while others do not, I'm just going off the Tales of Link Menu->Heroes Index)
