Cylus Stephen I think that can be tied to the fact that in the movie, she was acting "political" as opposed to the game where she had more freedom to act like herself. I could be wrong though.
No there's definitely a hint of romance there.. You can feel it between the two throughout the whole film. Even the setting is romantic. When Luna is talking to King Regis and Nyx is sort of looking at her admirably when she is talking about her destiny being her duty. It's only tension at the end of the day though since she's betrothed and has feelings for Noctis. Nyx plays her gallant knight in shining armour.. A stark contrast to Noctis.
Can I just say how aesthetically pleasing to the eye this scene is. The lighting, the background, the music, the soft dialogue. Pure Cinematic perfection.
The atmosphere was enchanting as Somnus played on the rooftop amidst the ongoing celebrations. Little did they know, a few moments later, the tranquility would shatter with an unexpected turn of events. It felt as if Somnus's melody marked the final notes they would hear on that memorable night.
@@joshieeTlong-distance relationships exists , if you like or not , it's your call. But it's something that exists and is merely portrayed in this game
If they did something like this for a movie most people are not going to watch, you bet your ass Square is going to drive heavily on nostalgia on the actual game lol. The radio stations playing classical Final Fantasy music, the constant advertisements showcasing cameos from other games. There's still one scene from Versus XIII that can still find its way in, and that's the original trailer with Noctis destroying an entire army of Niflheim soldiers outside the Lucian palace. Square would be INSANE if they didn't include that part in the game.
I think people over state how much the story actually changed. This is just my opinion, but the only real difference is the role Luna/Stella plays in the story and the placement of Noctis during the invasion. The storyline is still very much a "fantasy based on reality" and it still takes cues from Shakespeare's Hamlet, as was the original vision. The game feels more light hearted, because they've only showcased the early game with Noctis and his friends. Give the game time to flesh out its darker themes, and I'm sure it's not going to disappoint.
tabata might be a great director, but better than nomura ? i don't think so, otherwise they wouldn't be flashing his name in every product they make, nomura make a game that has absurd basic ( disney + final fantasy ), lol good luck making that work, and he nailed it. tabata did create great games, but he's not as creative. as an exemple, FF XV main themes are friendship, father-son relation, and the burden of a king, versus XIII's themes were sleep and death, you can figjre wich are the more unique.
lol i know it wasn't only him, but i'm talking about the visionary side of the things, nojima sure wrote the plot, but i'm sure he was following certain key elements that nomura asked for, for exemple, the shakesperian side of ff versus 13, the " nothing is either good or bad, only thinking makes it so " is definitly a nomura thing, and that was what caused the majority to be more hyped for versus 13 wich was just a spinn off more than 1e wich was the real deal. also the thing about " only guys " party, that demands some balls to do som0ething like this where every other ff made sure to have both genders in the party. like hell even the main theme was being deeple explained by nomura to yoko.
I swear everytime I see Insomnia I get more and more dissapointed that I was unable to even visit it in game. Only to visit when its a dark and lifeless.
I miss Nyx, I'm so sad he never "really" appeared in the game. I wish we'd see an Episode Nyx DLC or something, he certainly deserves more screen time.
@@ahmadyuda8018 also a dead body, when you enter the throne room in the final boss fight nyx, king regis and luna's dead body were hanging on the ceiling(I know it's sad)
We were supposed to get an Episode Nyx, and Episode Lunfreya along side Episode Ardyn in DLC Pass 2 but they scrapped the second season pass and just released Episode Ardyn.
Aversion Shipping Sure, her regular talking voice sounded nice but there was no emotion whatsoever. Even when she was apologizing for Crowe's death, there was no change in tone.
It really is a gorgeous city. The party looks amazing too, with the music. The only downside is that none of this is in the game, and Insomnia'll be destroyed by the time Noctis gets back to it.
***** Obviously you wouldn't be rendering real-time sweeping scenes of the entire battlefield (though those wouldn't have even made sense, since you'd be playing from Noctis' POV), but the events themselves could have easily been done.
***** Haha, you honestly think the entire plot would have collapsed if they showed the invasion? The invasion is already part of the plot. The only difference is that it isn't shown in game.
What sucks here is that as much as I love FFXV, Luna was never given proper development for me to care. I really wanted to see this kind of Luna in the game, but I understand with restrictions from the company and the development cycle it went through, removing and adding concepts of gameplay, cutscenes and characters so much was taken out from the game. I wish the actual game does end up patching more cutscenes for Luna before her death and more cutscenes explaining anything within the game.
Miles High Hero how about exploding your storage in your console due to the data of the intro? Read numerous negative comments of the game a needed to pay expansions to fix up made me want to yell at the ungrateful commenters to see how they feel to be under the team's staff shoes. Considering that some major issues like having to meet the deadline, actual development was 3 years after rebranding with changing of some concepts due to social and contrevrsy themes, redo things from scratch, which makes 3 years a too little time to make it complete. If the team were given a year or more, there won't be complaints and only a few updates were needed to patch up minor problems.
I watched Kingsglaive before the game came out then watched it again immediately after finishing the game and its funny how much we didn't know especially about Ardyn. There's something about the way he raises his glass that seems almost sinister now.
+Moon Door: Before, I used to get annoyed at all the people saying, "Stella would've been better" because the game hadn't even come out yet and we really couldn't judge Lunafreya as a whole yet and didn't know what role she'd play in the game. ...But now that the game has already been out... yeeeeeeah, Stella was waaaay better of a character just from what we saw. I mean, I literally just went back to see the Versus XIII trailer with Stella and Noctis - which this scene is trying to replicate slightly - and in that trailer, there was real chemistry and development between Noctis and Stella and Stella was just more interesting as a character. Lunafreya and Noctis' relationship was one I could never buy. They both talk about in the game how much they love each other, yet they really only interacted with each other when they were eight years old. And then when they finally do meet as adults, she dies.
You can hints that this was going to be a Romeo and Juliet story because despite Luna being capture by niffheim and being with them for many years it was supposed to be Luna home right there with her place and palace, setting in of the Juliet and Romeo story.
I keep reading comments about Luna and Nyx, yet I’m just here admiring the setting and beauty of this scene - just imagining how delightful it would be to be amongst those watching the fireworks above a modern city like Insomnia. And listening to Somnus play in the background 👌
I always dreamed if I led a revolution or independence movement, that once we'd finally succeed we'd sign a peace treaty at a reception like this fireworks and somnus playing in the background
Joseph Franc i cannot believe there could be a love story between noctis and luna. They haven't seen each other for 12 years and they meet before noctis was even 10. and the scene after the post credits where they're married in the afterlife make no sense either. they don't have a single interaction or line of dialogue in the game. a strong friendship is comprehensible because they have kept talking via umbra since they were child, but a love feeling...no, just no. Luna loves him (the developers never explain how and why, making the character empty), and noctis never express any romantic feelings for her
It really bugged me that they seemed so hell-bent on making Noct and Luna this pair of star-crossed lovers ("They're so in love! Why? 'Cause they are! These 10+ year-old flashbacks prove it!!!"). I would've been totally down for just a great friendship born from this shared sense of destiny and obligation. As for Nyx and Luna, they may fall into the "valiant knight and the fair princess" cliche, but I think it works for them. They had good chemistry.
When it hits you that Iedolas was in fact not lying at all, his own cities are nothing compared to Insomnia, as their entire continent is buried beneath a permanent blizzard, while getting overrun by rogue Daemons that they can't control. Iedolas was not evil, just a ruler of a dying nation, pushed beyond the edge of desperation.
@@jchea1764 Comparing the two, Insomnia is a shining version of our own modern cities. Everything is clean and gleaming, (unlike the real world) With quite an impressive infrastructure and detailed decorations in both building styles and ornaments. All protected by a multi-color barrier over the city. Meanwhile Gralea is a normal looking city like our own, with no decoration at all, just sleek and uninspired buildings. Inside a huge crater with the edges of the city and many parts inside it being military based structures. The Zegnautus being cold and dead looking on both in and outside. Living in Insomnia seems like a bright and happy place with beauty wherever you look. Gralea looks grey and dead, with military installments and bases wherever you look, with a giant ship of death always hanging above the city, blocking most natural sunlight that could get past the blizzard's clouds.
@@jefthereaper there is another city on the Niflheim continent. I believe it is called Pavla , you could see it on the Chapter XIII world map, and the signboards on the train station even mentions that the train does not stop on that location. The other location is Haulhex Armoury.
Am I the only one that wants a final fantasy 15 prequel playing as Regis and his buddies? The story can take you through him becoming king. It would be amazing.
Yeah... A dlc with Regis would be awesome! He hasn't the importancy that he needed. In the game only appears in the begining... and in the movie... well... the main character is Nix.
You give them doomed lovers vibe by playing a tragic af music in the background in their first proper conversation w each other and expect us not to ship them?
This movie was EPIC on the big screen! I LOVE this movie. Square need to make more movies. They need to get in the Hollywood business. What if DC and Square Collaborated.
Corey Lucas They did with Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. That movie didn't make enough in the international box office to warrant anymore commercial movies from Square.
There's not really a big enough market for serious animated movies, I don't think a collaboration with a company like DC/Marvel would change that. Those companies already make animated movies and they go straight to video because they know there's a limited market for a theatrical release. Granted, their animation is nowhere near this level (more Saturday morning cartoon-like), but I don't think that would make much of a difference.
Yes they are separate both in look and personality. Devs also stated that Luna has a different personality to fit her role in FFXV. It is also hard to say what is Stella true personality considering she appears only in trailers.
I like Nyx more than any character in this game simply because he is an ordinary man. not strong like God but his skills are so high and unique, not so gentle with girls like a hero neither acting so mesterious and rude like(look at me I am badass come and love me) he is normal human being.. sorry for my bad E
Legend123 We grew to love Stella so much in just one scene between her and Noctis, and two trailers. Their was more immediate chemistry between her and Noctis than their ever was between Noctis and Luna. Let me show you how from just the information the trailers give us. Noctis and Stella. A Prince and Princess of each of their respective kingdoms who are conflicted between the goals of their countries and the feelings they grow to have with each other. Both are socially isolated for not only being of royalty but for also being able to see the souls of dead people, making their differences from the rest of the world all the more relatable to each other and thus they have a deeper relationship from that. They're forced to fight each other for their cause, making their relationship even more tragic and complicated. Also They grew up together as kids and find out at a VERY young age that they were both bound by a destiny, a destiny that may or may not be the result of their battle of principles and goals later on in life. Noctis is alluded to being conflicted over this destiny of his and the decisions he wants to face as an individual, but Stella is more steadfast and urges him to break away from his duties and live live for his own sake. There's something Noctis doesn't want to let go in light of this, which may or may not be hinting that their is a rift that would have to happen between him and Stella if their destinies and duties were to ever be pursued. Now we have all that information JUST from the trailers that were shown. Let's not count information from the developers as well or the fact that many, including me, think that Stellas design and mannerisms as a character were more appealing. Luna was good as a concept and we were going to have a dark past with her, but here's the reality of what we got. Noctis and Luna are star crossed lovers from two Kingdoms. They grew up together as children and spent time in physical contact with one another for was is estimated to be 2 years at max (tho this is still confused between the movie and Brotherhood as we only see Luna meet Noctis for the first time when he's in a wheel chair and they get separated in Kingsglaive not long after). They talk to each other only by letters (for no reason in this technologically advanced world) for 12 years with only ever having physically seen each other as kids for a very short time. Theirs a build up along the entire adventure in 15, then just as we finally reach her she dies, with only the moments right before her death as she cares for Noctis' unconscious body, and the nod of acknowledgement they give each other during her speech as the only social interactment they ever have as adults. Totaling this all up we have absolutely ZERO time AND chemistry between these two, save for maybe the romantic letters they give each other (which we don't even see). We never even get an impression that Luna was ever even INTERESTED in Noctis personally until late in the MAIN GAME when she admits his love for him. Before that they were bound together by a purely political marriage and Luna treated it only as such throughout the entire film and the most of the game as we saw it. Also Lunas lines to Noctis was the majority of the time only ever about his destiny, never about anything else. However you slice it, Stella by FAR had more going for her as a character than Luna. Everyone should feel disappointed by this, even the 15 fans
The real ffxv protagonist. What square couldve done. I played the game, then watched the movie, then episode ignus prompto and gladio. Like Nyx and Iggy way more now
It looks like the movie is foreshadowing how Luna will die at 01:18 to 01:23 I don’t think it is a coincidence they zoom out the camera like that to depict her and the aquarium
After all these years, the Versus XIII footage, XV footage, Episode Duscae, Platinum Demo, Kingsglaive, Brotherhood and XV itself.. Nyx is my favourite character from this universe. Despite everything, Kingsglaive for some reason will remain as one of my favourite Final Fantasy memories/experiences.
This movie was able to establish and develop characters with in one single scene than the entire game. And almost none of this is pertinent to the game. Shucks.
That awkward moment when it sounds like she be flirting with him. Then the realization that she is being voiced by Cersei,the woman who fucked her own brother, hits ya in the head😂😂 Haha Lena did a good job though. Loved this scene.
I like the normal ending. When I was playing I was rushing through because all I wanted to do was get to Luna. And when she died I cried and every time luna came up it made me more happy. So when they get reunited after life that gave me happiness/sadness.
These two really have chemistry. I don't know why but when I watch Luna and Noctis, she's more like of a sister than a love interest. But with Nyx, she's shining in my eyes lol.
I love the idea of Nyx and Luna together. In the game she also felt like a sister to me and it makes me wish they had gone that route: make Luna be Noctis' sister and raised into warriors knowing the entire world depends on them.
You two, speak my mind. That's what I felt. Even I like Nocs, I still can't see Luna harmonised with him as lover. But when she stand beside Nyx, immediately I saw that chemistry.
The atmosphere was enchanting as Somnus played on the rooftop amidst the ongoing celebrations. Little did they know, a few moments later, the tranquility would shatter with an unexpected turn of events. It felt as if Somnus's melody marked the final notes they would hear on that memorable night.
This scene gave me better chemistry between these two than the entirety of the supposed romance she had with Noctis. Luna and Noctis hadn't seen each other in *TEN* years, pen pals are good and all, but I'm supposed to buy into the idea that it was true love when he spent more time concerned with his bros?? Nyx and Luna spent more time together than she actually did with her supposed true love which is one of the reasons why that ending scene where they are married in the spiritual realm was laughable.
Anyone see the pianist in violinist in the background actually playing Somnus as background music starting at 0:25? That's amazing and subtle to me, Idk. Nice touch.
This scene is just the repurposed version of the meeting between Stella and Noctis in the Versus XIII trailer, The Painting of Etro (Eos? Maybe) and convo between Nyx and Luna, which is just Noctis and Stella in Versus XIII Hell even the music is just the same as the one in the Original Trailer
the movie guys probably knew the game was going to be a big mess so they tried to save as much from the original ideas and gave life and love to Nyx and Luna in a way soulless Noctis and barely there Luna from the game never had
Luna looks way better in this, like she's a few years older, but with a nice face and jawline. In the game she looks bland with generic JRPG features and a soft, young appearance like she's 16 or 17, despite being around 20 or so like Noctis. And even despite still acting formal and respectful, it seems like she just has a bit more personality in the Kingsglaive movie (although part of it is definitely Lena Headey's performance). Luna in FFXV just talks like she's a robot who's there to tame gods and tell Noctis how much she'd really like to meet up with him sometime. And at least Noctis gets genuinely emotional about Luna during the game, whereas she's totally straight-faced even as she's sinking to a watery grave.
The movie has so many Versus XIII references like the (beautiful) scene at the Caelum Via hotel (shown in this video) but also the scene with Iedolas vs Regis. That being said, Nyx is muuuch better than Noctis under all aspects and this scene is one of the best in the movie.
I need to watch this movie again. This was truly one of the most detailed and beautiful parts in the entire thing. Aside from the violence and chaos that ensues.
The sexual tension
Luna really felt more suited to Nix than Noctis...then again the Luna int he game looks and acts different to the movie version.
Cylus Stephen I think that can be tied to the fact that in the movie, she was acting "political" as opposed to the game where she had more freedom to act like herself. I could be wrong though.
You're imagining it.
No there's definitely a hint of romance there.. You can feel it between the two throughout the whole film. Even the setting is romantic. When Luna is talking to King Regis and Nyx is sort of looking at her admirably when she is talking about her destiny being her duty. It's only tension at the end of the day though since she's betrothed and has feelings for Noctis. Nyx plays her gallant knight in shining armour.. A stark contrast to Noctis.
Noctis pre time skip looks like a child compared to Nyx both in appearance and demeanor.
I love how Ardyn is raising his glass to the four people he's going to hang at his throne room.
LexioLTG hory chet!
LexioLTG Fuck dude im dying hahahha!!!

The arms so separated from his back

fun fact: Nyx's face model actually ships Nyx and Luna.
really ?? Cool ! XD
@Stephan Kargel Reality is often disappointing. But atleast he approves Nyx and Luna.
When it hits you that Iedolas was in fact not lying at all, his own cities are nothing compared to Insomnia, as their entire continent is buried beneath a permanent blizzard, while getting overrun by rogue Daemons that they can't control.
Iedolas was not evil, just a ruler of a dying nation, pushed beyond the edge of desperation.
Have a dying nation? Take over the world! Seems reasonable...
@@pedroxruz6032 Well they invaded Lucis for the Crystal's power too.
Gralea and Zegnautus Keep aren't too bad
@@jchea1764 Comparing the two, Insomnia is a shining version of our own modern cities.
Everything is clean and gleaming, (unlike the real world) With quite an impressive infrastructure and detailed decorations in both building styles and ornaments.
All protected by a multi-color barrier over the city.
Meanwhile Gralea is a normal looking city like our own, with no decoration at all, just sleek and uninspired buildings.
Inside a huge crater with the edges of the city and many parts inside it being military based structures.
The Zegnautus being cold and dead looking on both in and outside.
Living in Insomnia seems like a bright and happy place with beauty wherever you look.
Gralea looks grey and dead, with military installments and bases wherever you look, with a giant ship of death always hanging above the city, blocking most natural sunlight that could get past the blizzard's clouds.
@@jefthereaper there is another city on the Niflheim continent.
I believe it is called Pavla , you could see it on the Chapter XIII world map, and the signboards on the train station even mentions that the train does not stop on that location.
The other location is Haulhex Armoury.
Luna kinda looks like Princess Diana in this movie.
now that you mention it...
Am I the only one that wants a final fantasy 15 prequel playing as Regis and his buddies? The story can take you through him becoming king. It would be amazing.
I want a stand alone DLC with Regis and Cid. The moment Cid showed us their pictures, I was instantly intrigued.
Yeah... A dlc with Regis would be awesome! He hasn't the importancy that he needed. In the game only appears in the begining... and in the movie... well... the main character is Nix.
They already did that. It was a cell phone game in Japan.
It's called a King's Tale and it's a preorder dlc
AcquereWill *Free now
You give them doomed lovers vibe by playing a tragic af music in the background in their first proper conversation w each other and expect us not to ship them?
Nyx is super hot....omg
What's so sad is the emperor is very lucid and cunning the whole movie, in the game he sounds like a demented old man
Thats because ardyn poisoning him with starcourge
This scene was originally supossed to be the scene where noctis and stella meet each other.
Watched this at the cinema. When the music starts, i got chills!
Lucky! 😊
Nyx and Luna have better chemestry than Noct.
no
Chemistry*
arranged marriage vibe
Yeasss yeassssss! She has the hot for nyx it’s clearly show it!!!!!!!!
Noct and Sarah
This movie was EPIC on the big screen! I LOVE this movie. Square need to make more movies. They need to get in the Hollywood business. What if DC and Square Collaborated.
Corey Lucas They did with Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. That movie didn't make enough in the international box office to warrant anymore commercial movies from Square.
There's not really a big enough market for serious animated movies, I don't think a collaboration with a company like DC/Marvel would change that. Those companies already make animated movies and they go straight to video because they know there's a limited market for a theatrical release. Granted, their animation is nowhere near this level (more Saturday morning cartoon-like), but I don't think that would make much of a difference.
is that mini leviathan in the aquarium?
Looks like it
SoNGY 8 its so cute !
SoNGY 8 2 of them actually. foreshadowing?
Wait... If those are Leviathan's baby fishies... Then who's the baby-daddy!?!?!?
Jack Hooper it’s goofy from Kingdom Hearts
this gives me nostalgia of that versus trailer 😢
1:03 such a beautiful shot... this scene is truly great
Dont hate me if i ship:
Noctis x Stella
Luna x Nyx
^w^)/
hazyl kae Luna x me oh sorry xdd
Luna and Stella are the same characters ffs
I ship them too.
@@aquasomnus No, they are separate characters despite Stella's design being reworked into Luna's. That's my opinion.
Yes they are separate both in look and personality. Devs also stated that Luna has a different personality to fit her role in FFXV. It is also hard to say what is Stella true personality considering she appears only in trailers.
I like Nyx more than any character in this game simply because he is an ordinary man. not strong like God but his skills are so high and unique, not so gentle with girls like a hero neither acting so mesterious and rude like(look at me I am badass come and love me) he is normal human being..
sorry for my bad E
Luna looks so different here than in the game. I like her better here.
well, movie always get better details than game cut scenes
Its called editing and graphics lol
Yeah she’s looks more human and real, while the Luna in game looks like a default final fantasy female and look so damn anime.
The scene of false hope...
I love the fact they used the Stella / Noctis scene in the movie for this.. It’s almost the same as the first cutscene trailer 😭
stella fans are salty
angadik Stella fans have every right to be. Luna was a waste of time in the game
Joseph Franc You saw barely any information on stella she could a waste as well...
Legend123 We grew to love Stella so much in just one scene between her and Noctis, and two trailers. Their was more immediate chemistry between her and Noctis than their ever was between Noctis and Luna. Let me show you how from just the information the trailers give us.
Noctis and Stella. A Prince and Princess of each of their respective kingdoms who are conflicted between the goals of their countries and the feelings they grow to have with each other. Both are socially isolated for not only being of royalty but for also being able to see the souls of dead people, making their differences from the rest of the world all the more relatable to each other and thus they have a deeper relationship from that. They're forced to fight each other for their cause, making their relationship even more tragic and complicated. Also They grew up together as kids and find out at a VERY young age that they were both bound by a destiny, a destiny that may or may not be the result of their battle of principles and goals later on in life. Noctis is alluded to being conflicted over this destiny of his and the decisions he wants to face as an individual, but Stella is more steadfast and urges him to break away from his duties and live live for his own sake. There's something Noctis doesn't want to let go in light of this, which may or may not be hinting that their is a rift that would have to happen between him and Stella if their destinies and duties were to ever be pursued.
Now we have all that information JUST from the trailers that were shown. Let's not count information from the developers as well or the fact that many, including me, think that Stellas design and mannerisms as a character were more appealing. Luna was good as a concept and we were going to have a dark past with her, but here's the reality of what we got.
Noctis and Luna are star crossed lovers from two Kingdoms. They grew up together as children and spent time in physical contact with one another for was is estimated to be 2 years at max (tho this is still confused between the movie and Brotherhood as we only see Luna meet Noctis for the first time when he's in a wheel chair and they get separated in Kingsglaive not long after). They talk to each other only by letters (for no reason in this technologically advanced world) for 12 years with only ever having physically seen each other as kids for a very short time. Theirs a build up along the entire adventure in 15, then just as we finally reach her she dies, with only the moments right before her death as she cares for Noctis' unconscious body, and the nod of acknowledgement they give each other during her speech as the only social interactment they ever have as adults.
Totaling this all up we have absolutely ZERO time AND chemistry between these two, save for maybe the romantic letters they give each other (which we don't even see). We never even get an impression that Luna was ever even INTERESTED in Noctis personally until late in the MAIN GAME when she admits his love for him. Before that they were bound together by a purely political marriage and Luna treated it only as such throughout the entire film and the most of the game as we saw it. Also Lunas lines to Noctis was the majority of the time only ever about his destiny, never about anything else.
However you slice it, Stella by FAR had more going for her as a character than Luna. Everyone should feel disappointed by this, even the 15 fans
Legend123 a character made for more than 5 years won't ever be a waste
Luna on the other hand is as important as a log
The real ffxv protagonist. What square couldve done. I played the game, then watched the movie, then episode ignus prompto and gladio. Like Nyx and Iggy way more now
Nyx/Luna, FFXV's real ship
lol
No doubt 🚢
It looks like the movie is foreshadowing how Luna will die at 01:18 to 01:23
I don’t think it is a coincidence they zoom out the camera like that to depict her and the aquarium
this scene is mocking to those who seen the 2006 trailer.
Goddess Etro painting in the back.
That scene was beautiful! Love the song and the whole fantasy look of the buildings and city
the performance in this movie along with the realistic facial expression looks too damn good and alive
I ship them ❤ HAHAHA
After all these years, the Versus XIII footage, XV footage, Episode Duscae, Platinum Demo, Kingsglaive, Brotherhood and XV itself.. Nyx is my favourite character from this universe. Despite everything, Kingsglaive for some reason will remain as one of my favourite Final Fantasy memories/experiences.
This movie was able to establish and develop characters with in one single scene than the entire game. And almost none of this is pertinent to the game. Shucks.
dayum framerate
The Virgin Noctis vs The Chad Nyx
It's so sad that iedolas had no real part ingame. 😭 he would have made a cool villain
Drautos facial expression at the end literally screams "I love it when a plan comes together."
Lena Headley is such a nice voice actress. I forgot I was hearing Cersei when I watched this movie. Too bad she was too expensive to use further on
That awkward moment when it sounds like she be flirting with him. Then the realization that she is being voiced by Cersei,the woman who fucked her own brother, hits ya in the head😂😂 Haha Lena did a good job though. Loved this scene.
Anyone saw the painting of Etro as a easter egg
TheTACOBOYZ1 even though I’m late yeah I saw it
Iedolas is such a cool character.. i Can't beleive he pretty much had no role in the game...
LwNickV same he had no reason to die either, it would have been more interesting if he stayed alive could at least show some kind of remorse
Kind of funny how he was originally meant to be the main antagonist until they passed him over for Ardyn.
The Animation is impressive. I hope it would be a movie with such Animation.
Regis was voiced by Sean Bean in this ... so you know what's gonna happen to him.
I swear this is such a beautiful scene.
Best scene in the movie and man I wish Luna and Nyx were a real thing.
Is it just me, or did I ship Nyx and Luna more after watching this movie?
Definitely not just you!!! They’re so good together
Just realized the meaning of that brief glance from the Captain at the end, bastard knows the tracker plan worked, finally.
OMG. How.... civilized and aesthetic!
Just imagine what the game would've been like if they had the FFXVI's combat, story and presentation while retaining FFXV's modern aesthetics.
Hate it that this game had almost zero romance just sadness, death and sorrow.
I have a dream, that every cutscene in a game has this graphik. Even the original ffxv has only 3-4 cutscenes with this graphik
I'm getting serious Bond (especially Skyfall) feels when Luna approaches Nyx.
I simply love this scene. No matter how many times I watch it I love it just like the first time I watched it.
come on, square, let them bang already
Ahhah, Nyx Ulric and Luna were definitely one step away from having sex. A so-so bride from the moon:openly flirting with the guardian.
Am I the only one that actually likes Final Fantasy XV the way it is?
No i like it as it is i have finished all quest except 1
and the movie is so awesome
500hours +
The game is awesome. Versus fans are just salty.
I like the normal ending. When I was playing I was rushing through because all I wanted to do was get to Luna. And when she died I cried and every time luna came up it made me more happy. So when they get reunited after life that gave me happiness/sadness.
this is literally Jesse Pinkman having a conversation with Cersei Lannister
was 1:14 foreshadowing
@@adnanawan6324 i meant her death lol but sure!
the CGI work is incredible like holy hell.
tbh nyx and luna looks better together
I agree lol
julius duran how old are luna and nyx?
I bet they are the same age
yeah, and Noct with Stella
静雄 Heiwajima *iris
Ftfy
I still can't believe that Nyx was voiced by Aaron Paul aka Jesse from Breaking Bad.
Drautos's sigh at the very end.
These two really have chemistry. I don't know why but when I watch Luna and Noctis, she's more like of a sister than a love interest. But with Nyx, she's shining in my eyes lol.
I love the idea of Nyx and Luna together. In the game she also felt like a sister to me and it makes me wish they had gone that route: make Luna be Noctis' sister and raised into warriors knowing the entire world depends on them.
You two, speak my mind. That's what I felt. Even I like Nocs, I still can't see Luna harmonised with him as lover. But when she stand beside Nyx, immediately I saw that chemistry.
The nif emperor voice actor is pretty good. and I like how there's a mini Leviathan in the tank lol
Is not just voice actor, but full actor actually, including movement, not just voice and face.
Ardyn's mind
"the deamons don't agree"
I soooooo wish we could've had more with Nyx, he was a great character ❤️
The atmosphere was enchanting as Somnus played on the rooftop amidst the ongoing celebrations. Little did they know, a few moments later, the tranquility would shatter with an unexpected turn of events. It felt as if Somnus's melody marked the final notes they would hear on that memorable night.
This scene gave me better chemistry between these two than the entirety of the supposed romance she had with Noctis. Luna and Noctis hadn't seen each other in *TEN* years, pen pals are good and all, but I'm supposed to buy into the idea that it was true love when he spent more time concerned with his bros?? Nyx and Luna spent more time together than she actually did with her supposed true love which is one of the reasons why that ending scene where they are married in the spiritual realm was laughable.
Anyone see the pianist in violinist in the background actually playing Somnus as background music starting at 0:25? That's amazing and subtle to me, Idk. Nice touch.
This scene is just the repurposed version of the meeting between Stella and Noctis in the Versus XIII trailer, The Painting of Etro (Eos? Maybe) and convo between Nyx and Luna, which is just Noctis and Stella in Versus XIII Hell even the music is just the same as the one in the Original Trailer
the movie guys probably knew the game was going to be a big mess so they tried to save as much from the original ideas and gave life and love to Nyx and Luna in a way soulless Noctis and barely there Luna from the game never had
It's so crazy to see how real they look in this movie
Playing with my heart and feels... I stanned VS13 religiously.
Luna looks way better in this, like she's a few years older, but with a nice face and jawline. In the game she looks bland with generic JRPG features and a soft, young appearance like she's 16 or 17, despite being around 20 or so like Noctis. And even despite still acting formal and respectful, it seems like she just has a bit more personality in the Kingsglaive movie (although part of it is definitely Lena Headey's performance). Luna in FFXV just talks like she's a robot who's there to tame gods and tell Noctis how much she'd really like to meet up with him sometime. And at least Noctis gets genuinely emotional about Luna during the game, whereas she's totally straight-faced even as she's sinking to a watery grave.
The movie has so many Versus XIII references like the (beautiful) scene at the Caelum Via hotel (shown in this video) but also the scene with Iedolas vs Regis.
That being said, Nyx is muuuch better than Noctis under all aspects and this scene is one of the best in the movie.
I need to watch this movie again. This was truly one of the most detailed and beautiful parts in the entire thing. Aside from the violence and chaos that ensues.
1:18 Tank behind Luna contains a miniature Leviathan
I mean, no matter your personal opinion... Lena Heady’s voice...
