So...I just got an email for a DLC vocuher for buying Kingsglaive a while back... and where the voucher code should be , it just says "No coupons available"
WUT?
The links both go to the same place, which is just a FAQ for how to redeem vouchers. Went to support chat and they just said to keep watching my email....

Saw this a while back and never got any thoughts down on it. It's a hard movie to even judge, really. It simply does not try to be a traditional, standalone movie, and as such I don't know if it's fair to hold it to those standards. Aside from a handful of moments toward the end that almost worked despite themselves -
- I thought it was really, really awful, but on the other hand, were it to be cut up into five minute chunks and placed into FFXV as "Meanwhile..." interludes, it'd probably work mostly fine.
It was definitely a disappointment after the shockingly decent Brotherhood episodes.
Nyx mouthing off to the kings of Lucis is the single moment in the whole movie that had me going "oh, hey, this is almost like something you'd see in Final Fantasy"

I got the same thing as well, so it's probably everyone then. I'll post when/if I get a corrected one
That wasn't terrible, I guess. I enjoyed it for the most part, but I hated Libertus. I hope he is nowhere to be found in the game. I actually wish
Also,
was really cool.
Nix was still alive so he could be in the game, but of course they had to keep the worst character instead.

Got a Sony email apologizing for the previous email and got a code. Forgot what it is though. Is it the suit Regis wears for Nocto?

I think the code is something you also get in one of the limited editions of the game. I forget what they said it was. I am waiting to use it after I get the game in case it's for something I already got from the LE. In that case, I'll give the code to someone in here
Went in with low expectations and knowing it's a game setup:
Still ultimately a very boring movie.
I can really appreciate some excellent animation and artistry but personally it was kind of a chore to go through this not resorting to a secondary activity.
There's no possible way they can recoup all the spending behind Final Fantasy XV is there?

Is there anyone who liked Libertus?
And look where it got her.
I just purchased it from google play movies for £4.99.
I just finished watching and thought it was good for what it was. My expectations were basically met, since all I was looking for was a look into the world of FFXV. It was good, dumb fun to me and got me excited for Tuesday.
Also lol at Barry Burton, it's like he was an NPC turned into a main character. Why was his voice acting so hilariously terrible.

Just watched it for the first time and found it enjoyable. I have three questions though:
Not up to snuff with FFXV story outside of Brotherhood and Kingsglaive.
1.) Regis seemed very surprised that Luna was alive when he first spoke with Ardyn. Did he feign this because Noctis/Luna have been communing (at least they were in Brotherhood).
2.) Was Regis' entire plan to have them invade Insomnia to draw attention away from Noctis?
3.) Why is Noctis not there at all? I'm assuming it had to do with 2.

I didn't notice someone had bumped this thread. I just finished watching it, here's my post from the FFXV OT:
I won't get the game until tomorrow at best but the reviews got me pumped so I just watched Kingsglaive. Based on what I had heard I was expecting a fairly mediocre but pretty movie but I thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end. As predicted, it is stunning visually and the fight scenes are incredible but I quite liked the story and characters too. I thought it was a very touching drama and a really good film overall. The english voice cast was really solid as well.
The only thing that might be puzzling to non FF fans is the completely random and unexplained appearance of mothefuckin
in the middle of the film. It was hilarious but made no sense at all within the film.
One question: at the beginning of the film, they talk about Noctis being sick as a child but they don't really expand on that, is that adressed somewhere else aside from FFXV proper?

yeah there was a lot of random fan service in this movie. lol
I'm assuming it had to do with the very beginning and end of the Brotherhood anime series.

I'm going to watch that then, thanks.
I just saw that there was a big untagged spoiler in my previous post, my apologies to anyone reading this thread!

Just watched it. One thing I don't quite understand and maybe I'm missing something, but...
So Insomnia is the only place that is out of Niflheim's(sp?) reach, Noctis is supposed to be some chosen one to be kept safe or whatever (not to mention being the fuckin prince of a country in war)...
And he is travelling around the countryside with 3 regular dudes during a time of war when the empire can just drop
around or whatever.
Also was that one monster supposed to be
? lol

I am watching this while my patch downloads because of its supposed importance and its making me gag with how bad the acting, dialogue and general script is.
I'm constantly forcing myself to stop watching cause it's too much, this has only happened with one other movie for me...

Watched this earlier today too. Felt like a giant videogame cut-scene. As a standalone movie, it's an overwrought convoluted mess. Strange editing choices and the cinematography during the battle scenes was incomprehensible.
At least I know what happened in Insomnia now, I guess.

and that's about my only major gripe. Gorgeous animation and action scenes but some terrible voice acting... especially Libertus. Nyx is top notch though, imo. What a badass.

I didn't think it was that bad. Definitely better than I expected, although I doubt I'll ever watch it again.

I'm going to have to watch this later today, I need context as to why these young men are driving a Chrysler Crossfire through the desert.

It wasn't great, but I went in specifically to watch it as backstory to the game so I got what I wanted out of it. I've seen much, much worse.

i was expecting an atrocity from reading the impressions but i have to say i enjoyed it throughly after i played the game a bit.
So much of this!

I guess that the characters were first and foremost designed with their soldier vests in mind, as they also help to hide some body shape imperfections (IMO). When you see them in casual clothing, it looks weird.
The whole movie felt like it took what should have been like three scenes in a good movie and spread it across 90 minutes. Some good moments but mostly incredibly dull.
Between this and the reviews/impressions on FFXV I'm definitely not expecting much from FFXV's story or world.

You very clearly see Ford Transit vans, a Toyota and several VWs in the movie although they have different badges. It stupid as well when they try so hard to make it look like a modern earth city then have all the soldier's wearing medieval knight armour
Thoughts
- VA is so bad in places, Libertus and Crow in particular are the biggest offenders.
- Luna looked like a ghost
- When characters are standing still, they look so life-like. During action sequences, though, the quality dips in their movements.
- Destruction reached Zack Snyder level wankery...no way did the population survive that

I liked the film, it entertained me and set me up with the back-story and got me excited for the game itself. I'll probably watch it again when i get around to watching Brotherhood on youtube.
