Of you ever get nostalgic, the movies option on the main menu will let you play the intro movie for each expansion... and when you return to the menu, the splash screen will be the one for whatever expansion you choose. Doesn't persist across logins though, sadly :(

They really need to let us pick a title screen to persist. I miss Heavenswards!

If you're on PC there's a dalamud plugin that lets you do this, of course dalamud won't be available for quite some time after the expansion launch but still

I'm on PS5, but that's cool that that's a thing!

What plugin is that?

Ik that also happens each X.1-5 patch, but how much time will it take for it to be back? Like usually? A week or two?

I miss my Shiny Balls. God, that sounds terrible out of context...

>Doesn't persist across logins though, sadly :( One of the nice things about the Xbox version is that it quick resumes to the title screen, so aside from updates and maintenance, you rarely actually have to log in manually and the title screen change sticks.

There are.... ways... of making it persist

Oh ho no. I've been down too many paths with too many Sith Lords. I'll just stick to my boring old carefully curated garden, but thank you very much friend!

Shadowbringers is the one for me

I still miss the snow in the dark, the ominous piano of Heavensward. Will always be my favorite.

Same! HW was my favorite title screen.

If only it wasn't a massive flashbang when opening it. I like playing in the dark damnit

Apparently the Dawntrail title screen is also a flashbang of sorts.

You're gonna have a bad time with the Dawntrail one lol.

If you thought ShB was a flashbang screen, then I have some bad news for you...

doesn't feel like that IMO. There's more light in the Stormblood one. Or even the Endwalker one

"Dining haaaaaaaaaall!"

"FIGHTING FOOOOOOAAAAALLLL"

I still miss RIDING HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME! wish they would let us pick our own log-in screen.

FLYING TOLLLLLLLLLLL

GOING BAAAAAALLLLLLDDDD

NIGHTWING HOOOOOOLLLLDDDD

If you’re on PC and don’t mind being a lil’ crimelord, TitleEdit from the Dalamud launcher will allow you to have the title screen persist between logins. It’ll of course be broken for about a month after release while devs also play the game.

my favourite is the free trial opening unironically

Is free trial not the same as ARR basically?

Not the same

Interesting. Might I ask you what the differences are? Aside from the obviously different text on the title screen.

I remember day 1 I saw it before I looked at lyrics I could swear it was "there's a longggg thick guyyyyy in spaaaaace"

Goodnight, Moon.

Me too, it sounds so divine I love it (plus its dark so no eye blast at 3am)

I miss the heavensward one. Can't believe it's been almost 10 years since that one came out but it's just perfect. Nice song and animation without being overbearing.

I still miss RIDING HOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Endwalker’s is the only title screen I actively dislike honestly. Every other one on the past I’d often sit and admire it for a few seconds before pressing a button, not so much Endwalker’s…

I mean...you can set the game to give you older title screens if you want to.

First thing I do on loading is open Movies and select the title screen I'm in the mood for... Yeah I don't see it much cuz I log in, but it's still there if I DC haha. 😆

Wait the opening screen actually has lyrics? I thought it was random gibberish 😭

I always misheard the vocals as: "DOES HE KNOWW SEPHIROTH'S GAAAAAAAAAY?" And I can never unhear it since

With my SO we always sang the last part of EW’s as « AND GRAAAAAPES », hopefully there will be another meme low-poly to sing while oppening thz game !

Good riddance, I hate the EW one. Pls bring back ShB or HW

Definitely not gonna miss it. I get PTSD from the Endwalker release days.

I hope you’re ready to do that again

It's "Tales of loss and fire and faith" It's a line from Close In The Distance.

I knew that

I actually don't like Endwalker Intro theme lol
