Review of Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV (2016) by Raporgi — 24 Aug 2016

Cgi is great but the plot is your basic re-shoed FF plot complete with boring scenes of politicing nonsense vacillating between war and peace. If you've played any recent FF game, you'll know that peace never works out becoz the bad guys are gonna gore you in the azz.

too much talking and plot points that offensively occur off-screen just knock this movie down. The characters are over-dressed as usual(Tetsuya Nomura can go to hell) and a lot of them are stupid/predictable becoz the plot demands it.

its basically like the other prequel type games SE has done to milk the fanbase. You have sorta-likable protagonist but since he/she is just plot-fodder for the real main character/s in the actual game you cant really be invested in any of them.

The movie even constantly reminds you that the protagonist is not the hero, Noctis and his phagsquad are the heroes in the upcoming game. Luna is annoying, totally lacking any personality she just keeps droning on about her duty is destiny blah blah blah.

The movie ends on a sad note and the stinger at the end makes me wish I was playing Nyx instead of Nocits becoz that wouldve made more sense. Also why the hell are the people gathering in huge crowds just to watch a treaty signing? lots of annoying FF-cliches also for grizzled veterans of the serious including a foppish grinning evil chancellor who you might as well expect to pull a Kefka in the upcoming game.
