The Opening

[Scene: it is dark. The camera pans downward through darkness, with the only splash of notable color being what appears to be two red cords spiraling from somewhere to...somewhere. Over this, white text is superimposed in what I imagine to be a properly ominous booming voice. It says...]

One born of human flesh...
Man is now a race of some power.
You, son of man,
must face the power you hold.
And you must face your destiny as well...

[Scene cuts from the darkness to a random Japanese sidewalk. Yuzu, out for a walk, gets a call.]

Yuzu: Hello?
Atsuro: Hey, Yuzu. I just got an email from Naoya. He wants to know if we can hang out tomorrow!
Yuzu: Naoya? Isn't that “his” cousin? I should be free tomorrow...

Though your days be peaceful, the fated time draws near.
I am your judgement.
I sundered the tongue of your fathers and shattered their arrogant power.

[Scene cuts to another random Japanese street. Gin and Haru are standing around, like most protagonists do during a mysterious opening montage filled with cryptic one-liners with significant meaning later.]

Haru: [Shakes her head.] Ha...I can't do this. What was Aya thinking when she gave me this song...?
Gin: Just take your time. “The language of song is boundless.” Do what your heart tells you...

So long as the Lord does not live in you, all living beings hold darkness in their hearts.

[Scene cuts to a mysterious room filled with what appears to be a number of computer towers and a pipe organ, a room which people won't end up swearing at later, really.]

Amane: The “summoning vessel” is complete. Will you continue to lend us your strength?
Naoya: I've done nothing. The ancient common tongue summoned them. God's no friend of mine. [Walks off.]

If you truly wish to be yourself, then rise and fight the darkness within...the demon inside.
If you have the will to challenge your destiny of battle, son of man, state your name...

[The camera pans to the bottom of the red cords through darkness montage, revealing that at the bottom was the main character and it was the red cord of his headphones that was reaching into infinity...or at least reaching for coincidentally the length of the ominous bold text scroll. The game prompts you for a name.

For the sake of having a name for this transcript he'll be referred to as Hiro Protagonist or MC for short.

Once that's confirmed...]

As He proclaimed...this world, created in seven days, shall be destroyed by the sounding of seven trumpets.
You who have a will,
fear the numbers your eyes shall see.
Fear the time left...
