Now that we have scene the one for EP5, rank them in order from 1 to 6, 1 being the best and 6 being the worst. In case you don't recall them:

EP1a: Battle against darkers and Ragne in the forest
EP1b: Battle against Hunar in the snow
EP2: Mining Base battle against darkers and Apprentice
EP3: Battle against Magatsu
EP4: Battle against Phantom Battleship Yamato
EP5: Battle against big red dragon?? (sorry, haven't played EP5 yet, don't know if that dragon has a name)

I'll start:

1- EP2
2- EP3
3- EP1a
4- EP4
5- EP1b
6- EP5

1. My favorite has always been OP2 since it doesn't really rely on showing off class gimmicks or EQs.
2. OP1 mostly due to nostalgia, and since it is linked with OP2.
3. OP5 just because I love Borderless.
4-6. The rest are just blah to me for the reasons stated in 1.

Mmmmm kinda hard to tell for me as a "going all out" setup wouldn't necessarily be my favorite, but for now it would be like that

1 - EP3 (Really feels like a promising fight, shown in a really engaging way)
2 - EP5 (a mix of simplicity and showing actual fight on the boss itself helped a lot, may have taken 1st place if it showed some more when the Hero goes in that Fireball xD)
3 - EP4 (the fact it's a battleship isn't really engaging, but the music pretty much saves it)
4 - EP2 (i would put it at same rank as EP4 despite having no real flaws, but the ones above got something better)
5 - EP1b (Pretty much obsolete but Hunar is just better than Ragne as a boss overall lol)
6 - EP1a (Dark Ragne is just a common boss now, so this one also feels obsolete)

1.EP2: Because it have that epicness which every other don't have imho.

2.Ep3: Because that's when I started playing and Jet Boots were looking so badass... =p

3.EP1a: The one which made me fall from my chair and cry because my comp was a toaster to run this game.

4.EP5: While it is not a huge blast, I find it pretty well done but short. Love the music too.

5.EP4: I don't especially like Borderless, I don't like Yamato EQ, more a chore to run than anthing for me ... BUT I like AIS!

6.EP1b: That one, I mostely find it ludicrous + I like Klothos COs but not Klotho xD

1 - EP2 Apprentice
2 - EP3 Magatsu
.
4 - EP1a Ragne
5 - EP5 Erythron
6 - EP1b Hunar
.
.
9 - EP4 Yamato

EP2 opening is so good because imo it makes very good use of synchronizing the music with the action, including how and when the PHANTASY STAR CREW logo appears and shines.
EP3 has great ending and camera action.
EP5 indeed only focuses on Hero, but so did EP2 with Braver and EP3 with Bouncer; everyone else just appeared in the end. Difference being that in EP2 and 3 opening we see everyone charge in with the new classes, whereas in EP5 they're background filler. At the same time, the music isn't as action-oriented and upbeat as in the previous openings.
As for EP4, it only shows AIS, it is littered with lyrics, and the music isn't synchronized to anything outside of the ending with the logo.

It's funny how nearly everyone here has wildly different opinions about which opening ranks where.

Since I'm here, I might as well join in on the fun.
1. EP4
2. EP2
3. EP5
4. Vita
5. EP3
6. EP1
