Review of Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV (2016) by Night4 — 28 Feb 2017

Incredible visuals, overall. Scenes with no people felt completely real. Scenes with people were ok, but lacking in the facial movement.

There are too many characters, too many names, and it's a bit too confusing overall. I just watched it and I didn't really retain what happened. I have been playing epic RPGs and JRPGs for my entire life, and haven't had this problem... I think it's just trying to cram too much into too short of a time.

Main characters' voice acting was great, but the dialogue was a bit stilted. While this made it feel more like a traditional JRPG, it's not a good move for a movie.

I'd rate it higher if they came up with some new ideas, but this whole "Empire/magic/technology/ships/destiny" thing is getting old.

Overall, it's meh. I wouldn't even try to understand it and just watch for the visuals.
