Seems like Kingsglaive has a number of enemies from previous FF games showing up in it. I hope this means we'll see Ultros, Cerberus, and Diamond Weapon in FFXV proper.

I'm hoping it at least gets a showing in Austin. It's much more convenient to drive up there instead of to Houston.
If we see this monsters and others in the game, it would be incredible. They could be part of those hunting wanted monsters sidequests.
Cannot wait to watch Kingsglave when it comes out digitally August 30th. The visuals are stunning!
Saw the new trailer. Is that Noctis in a wheelchair?

First time I saw "BD in October" I thought it was a mistake, lol. That's a crazy long time between digital and physical.

I think there are alot of Deluxe Edition owners that would like the option to rent it, the Deluxe Edition has Kingsglaive blu ray in it, but we obviously dont want to wait until Sep 30 to watch it if its available in August.

Oh CRAP it's playing at a theater right up the street from me.
This has probably been asked a few times in this thread but I couldn't seem to find it -
Are you "supposed" to watch this before playing the game? The op says it's simultaneous for the first few chapters, but will it sort of semi-spoiler that experience a little, rather than add to it?
I watched the first episode of Brotherhood and it contained a very underwhelming reveal of Noctis's mother that made me want to quit watching them until after the game.

From the panel:
"Kingsglaive stands on its own and can be enjoyed without knowledge of the previous games. But if you play Final Fantasy XV there are many references in the game that you wouldn't necessarily understand without watching the film. Kingsglaive depicts the events that lead into the game's story, starting with the main character King Regis fighting the enemy empire.
Along with Final Fantasy XV, the main theme portrayed in Kingsglaive is the bond between father and son. While watching the film you'll see the love they have for each other and understanding the pressures of fufilling the responsibility of being King."
Watch the movie before playing the game.
The anime is to give more insight into the bros and how they became friends and such.. If you don't care about the bro dynamic skip it. The game probably won't even mention or highlight Noctis mom so I was surprised she even got a few seconds in the anime lol

Ooh, thanks a ton! My excitement for the movie has been released from a cage and is going wild.
I actually did enjoy the first episode of the anime, since it was basically Free: The JRPG. It gives me hope for all the great banter the game's going to have.

They really went all out for the voice actors this time around.
Was crossing my fingers for it to show here in Montreal 
Ah well.
My dad has always loved watching the FF movies (yes even Spirits Within, which he took me to opening day as a child) and watched me play the games growing up.. he's almost 70 now and I showed him the trailer and the info today since I figured he'd be interested, and he's officially hyped

Weird no LA considering it's here where they announced it.

Your dad is seriously cool.
I wish my parents were into Final Fantasy. My older brother sort of is, but hasn't played a mainline since X. I remember years ago though he was intrigued with Versus XIII's 2011 trailer.
Is your dad interested in the actual game for XV? I'd love to hear his thoughts about it (and the movie) sometime.
Cool icon, friend.

When I finally watch this movie it'll be only one month till the game releases. HYPE!
Thank you
I'm sure I'll post his thoughts along with mine whenever both the movie and the game come out in the various OTs!He is actually! He's never really been into playing games himself (and he couldn't now even if he wanted to, especially after his stroke) but I promised him I'd bring the PS4 with me back home when I visit in October and play through the game with him while he watches. He loves the stories in them (FF7/FF8 were his favorites) and the graphics. It's always been prime father/daughter bonding material. I'm pretty lucky I think to have a parent still so interested in my hobbies considering I'm almost 30!
I think Kingsglaive in particular really catches his eye because he's especially fond of the whole realism+fantasy angle.

Surprised they even gave that much to her. They could've very well went the Cloud route, where we know his mother, but the father isn't even referenced much. He was probably conceived through virgin birth via midichlorians.
Thank you

Ah, anytime. I'd love to hear both of your thoughts.
I actually might get my dad to watch Kingsglaive with me since he's a big Sean Bean fan, haha.
Sorry about your dad's stroke. That must be hard for him (and your family), but it's endearing how video games can bring people close together. It's like you and your dad will be joining Noctis and his bros on the roadtrip.
Yeah, I really love how Kingsglaive looks. If I was rich, I'd gladly buy Lunafreya's outfits. xD
My parents and I have watched General Hospital for years (also where my username comes from), and they love Jason Morgan who's played by Steve Burton. It blows their minds finding out he voice acts in video games, haha. Though, I personally watched GH before Advent Children released, so even I was a bit surprised with the casting.

I guess I shouldn't assume, but I'm operating under the assumption that LA, Chicago and other big cities should have dates announced once we get a bit closer to release (as screens are bit more tightly booked in the larger cities).

This is really heartwarming - I have two little kids, and we always watch the XV trailers together, and they sat with me through Duscae and Platinum.They're into it, but, at their age, I think it's much more about doing what daddy is doing (and the fact that they don't get much regular screen time).
But I have to admit some hesitation at getting them too into my stuff, in large part due to the iron wall my own (loving and likable) old school parents put up between their hobbies and interests and my own. It was basically a hold over from the fifties - kid stuff is kid stuff and adult stuff is adult stuff, and never the twain shall meet.

Honestly that Kingsglaive trailer was amazing.
@Samimista -
You really should! Hopefully you can watch it together with him Are you near one of the theaters that's showing it or will you have to watch it on digital/disc?
Thanks so much! Luckily he's much improved, and we're all grateful since it could have been worse, so there's always that silver lining.
I'm still pretty shocked by the few high profile voice actors they cast for the movie, but going by the previews they fit perfectly imo. I'm usually a fan of Japanese dubs but I'm definitely going to be enjoying this in English!
That's pretty funny about Steve Burton I think he does a great job as Cloud imo, so I'm happy to see him in the Remake.
@YankeeDonB-
That's adorable!! Are there any characters they particularly like from all of the trailers/demo? The Platinum demo was probably really fun for them to watch
I can definitely understand that sentiment! For me my parents actively encouraged all 7 of us kids to play games (which is something I've always taken a bit for granted), but they were really never into them much themselves. My mom dabbled in Mario, Zelda and Sonic while we were growing up and dad would always watch us play and chat about what was happening but not much more than that. They generally had their own hobbies and we had ours, but they at least took a large interest in what we did which I think is mainly what matters most imo.

Honestly I'm eagerly awaiting "FFXV has gone gold" news that will be an end of an era.
Amazon Germany updated their listing for the Blu-ray release with the included languages:
Of cause this isn't 100% official, but it looks correct.
We know that there will be French voices as well, but they are probably only included in a second EU version featuring a different set of languages (My guess: French, English, Italian + one other).
I have to say, not having Japanese voices included would be a bit disappointing and weird.
I can see it happening though, Sprirts Within didn't feature Japanese audio either in the German release. (Advent Children did though)

Well, in this case Japanese wasn't the original dub, anyway. The lip-sync is based on the English VA.

So does that mean it did good? If so lol at the quick doom and gloom couple pages back. Gaf proving again h gauging sales and success is their weak point
But it flopped and nobody wanted to see the movie, people told me?
Tabata was like "Someone actually went and watch it? Lol"

They're really into Noctis - although they're always excited to see "grumpy man!" (Verstael) and Titan, who my daughter is very intent on assuring everyone "is really good, even though he's scary."
They particularly liked Platinum, especially mini Noctis part!
And yeah, agreed on the bolded...

For their expectations yeah.
A realistic CG movie didn't do as well in Japan as some huge anime otaku magnets, surprise.
¯\_(ツ
_/¯Yeah, LOL@comments like "SE didn't learn from the past, this will bomb like Spirits Within again!". Everyone with a bit of an understanding knew they've never had any expectations for the theatre release. It was planned as a straight-to-DVD/Blu-ray and VOD affair, plus an incentive for the Deluxe/Collector's edition.

Pretty much. That's why I don't try to gauge the sales of something I don't understand nor know what expectations they have set.For their expectations yeah.

¯_(ツ
And as you said try and compare a cgi prequel movie to a game to an animated phenomenon in Japan. But aye I was told to look at the graphics it obviously wasn't cheap to make so what do I kno
