Great OT
Tried searching but couldn't find anything: will the movie play in Canadian movie theatres as well? Or is it only Japan, France and USA?
Glad to see you're so bitter you saved it all this time, I didn't expect to see it here since I had long forgotten about that. But I still expect Luna will not be any better than described by Delaney, so you can post all you want, and go into the movie and game with your particular bias that Luna is already a strong female character, but I don't share your optimism. After all, female characters almost always get the short end of the stick in video games, particularly in Japanese ones. I doubt Luna will be an exception.In light of Delaney's accurate description of Luna, I'd like to point out this gem:
Luna "trophy wife" Fleuret.
Only those 3 countries have been revealed to get a limited theater release.
I'm really quite interested this after all the positive impressions.

Please, no negativity on this OT thank you. If you don't like Final Fantasy XV, you don't consider Kingsglaive a worthy piece of media or you would have rather played Final Fantasy Versus XIII, that's fine, but please, do not derail the thread. If after watching the movie you still have thoughs on how Kingsglaive and FFXV relates to Versus XIII, you can discuss it with us, but we will try to avoid drive-by posting in this thread. This is not meant to censor any kind of comment, be it positive or negative about this game and movie, but posts like "I still don't get why we have to play as a boy-band in the game", "Tabata ruined this project and killed my family", "power rangers" and similar do not add anything more to the discussion.

I'm sure it won't end it at all they'll find something...they always do .Minor spoilers on my impressions about Luna from what I saw:The first minutes of the film should end the "she needs to be protected"/"weak female character without iniciative" debate once and for all.
French but no German dub? That surprises me since the game itself also has German dub and we literally dub everything in Germany.

Tabata said:Within the overall theme of the journey, the team reasoned on what position a heroine should take, and thought that rather than having a more passive and weak heroine that needs to be saved, it would be much better to have a stronger and more determined female character, who actively engages with the events in the story, and to play that role they thought they needed a different character than Stella.
Have a question, is this movie targeted to make money? Or is just promotional material for the game.
I don´t know much about these kinds of releases, but limited theaters don´t sound to me like Square wants to profit from this film. Even though it looks awesome :/
Most likely as he said they could in the Ot if it starts heavy like the last ffxv threads I'll jump shipPSY・S;209474280 said:is leak/rumor stuff going to be posted in this thread too....
I'm sure they intend to make a profit, although I don't think it's very likely that they will. A shit ton of studios were involved in this film, the rendering is photorealistic to the point where untrained eyes can confuse some shots with live action. They had big name actors involved. But it's only getting a limited theater release for a game that was announced ten years ago. I would be legitimately surprised if they made a profit all things considered.Have a question, is this movie targeted to make money? Or is just promotional material for the game.

They officially announced the Kingsglaive + Brotherhood steelbox yesterday at the Japan Expo and it seemingly was a France exclusive. Glad to see it's popping up in more countries.

Really don't like Iedolas demeanour in this movie. Clarus was a mistake, too.
The problem to me is the Iedolas acts like a different character from the stuff we've seen so far from Kingsglaive. There's no evil grin or any confidence that his character has in FFXV, and he just looks like someone who's been sad his entire life.
I can let go characters looking slightly different (Clarus looks completely different which I won't defend), and Iedolas looks similar in the game and movie, but his personality appears to be different which sucks.
This movie looks just as good as Zootopia visually, it's certainly not low budget. The low marketing budget may have saved on costs but it definitely cost a pretty penny to produce a film that looks like this. Looking at their history this is probably the most expensive film they've been involved with. Just compare it with Appleseed Alpha.It's being distributed by Stage 6 Sony in the US which was created to distribute low budget films. I'm guessing KG's budget should be around 10-20 mil going by other films this company released.

RELEASE DATE (THEATRE)
- Japan | July 9th
- United States | August 19th (selected theaters)
- France | Early September (selected theaters)
Nope. I asume official news about that and the digital release must be coming soon.Any word on the US selected theaters yet?
Who dis?That scene of Stella vs. Noctis in your Luna description was supposedly already removed in Versus 2011 too.
Sad that this isn't a simultaneous theatre / digital release, can't enjoy the release with other people who have access to Japanese movie theatres
If I was rich I'd fly there for this weekend, lol.
I was just wondering if she was using her regilar british voice or attempted a bad american accent or you're used to her british accent so hearing her voice with an american accent sounded funny.
Wouldn't be surprised if this is true. Didn't Nomura say that when Versus XIII was originally unveiled, he basically had zero idea of how the actual story was going to turn out and just had a vague thought of what he wanted? I kinda think Square's higher ups came to him asking to be a part of the FNC thing and Nomura was ecstatic, but the Square execs told him to whip up a quick visual treatment to be included with the FNC unveiling(Nomura and others at Square lament that Versus was revealed TOOOOOO early). When Nomura told them he hadn't even really thought up anything, story-wise, the execs probably told him to just think up a cool scene or two and make them into CG movies. "Don't think too hard, Tets-baby! You're a very VISUAL guy. Do something Advent Children-ish with crazy fights. After this presentation, we'll have all the time in the world to worry about a story and how these scenes fit into it".That scene of Stella vs. Noctis in your Luna description was supposedly already removed in Versus 2011 too.

And Nyx is modelled after a French model. Pretty cool. I remember Ashe being based on a French person too.
Ravus is the character I'm most anticipated to see.
