Makes sense. Initially thought the process of adjusting lip sync might be similar.
I could imagine a couple of german cinemas picking up the movie for the yearly "Fantasy Film" event. Unfortunately, my city (Hamburg) is the last stop which means September, so I'll pick up the digital release.
That's unexpected! Can we expect sophisticated politics in FFXV ?
Why couldn't we get this Luna in the game.
I really wanna raid Luna's closet. She has so many cute outfits . . . <3

Tech demo? What

As long as it's not Star Wars prequel bad I'm okay with it.
For better or worse, this seems like it's really just (one side of) the intro to the game. Seemingly a well made, entertaining one but still just an intro so the meat of the story & all the pay-off will be in the game. Like, imagine if Advent Children was actually the Midgar portion of FFVII and the game starts after the gang has exited Midgar.
"Tech demo" for Visual Works, I gues.
Moin! Indeed, Fantasy Filmfest recently announced Kingsglaive for their lineup:

It even says early August.

Reading impressions seems like it's way ahead of that. I'm curious if this is the best video game movie though.

Frankly, I was hyped for the game but then got nervous due to the E3 demo footage... But the hype and impressions for the movie in this thread got me to seal the deal and pre-order the game digitally and the movie on Blu (the edition that includes Brotherhood).
So yeah, the strategy of transmedia is working as far as I'm concerned.

One more thing i would want to ask is the quality of music and theme song composed by Yoko Shimomura? Is it amazing?
Most certainly looking forward to this. The visuals make for some serious eye candy. I really admire the character designs (and realistic redesigns.)
The tonal direction of the plot seems rather tragic and more in line with the original tone of Versus XIII. With nearly all of the film's central characters dying or loosing something important
Yes. The musics are really good. The ending credit has full version of that Reclaim your throne trailer
Classic Final Fantasy theme song was used in the movie too

Thanks, good to have confirmation. Looked for the film listing yesterday but it's not online yet.
Might go anyways since the cinema is only a few mins away.
A bit annoying that the text ignorantly describes the movie as "anime".
???~??? The era of the myth
???~60X The war had continued between Lucis and Niflheim
606 The second magic barrier(mana shield) was erected around Insomnia
726 Ardyn invented Magitek Soldiers, enhancing Niflheim's power(King's tale maybe?)
741 Niflheim invaded Tenebrae, confined Luna, crying Regis(Dawn trailer)
744 Silva, head of Tenebrae killed by Niflheim army(beginning of the movie)
756 The peace treaty was proposed by Niflheim, Noctis didn't eat vegetables

They are immigrant from outside of Insomnia where is now under Niflheim occupation. They fought and believed Regis to take back their homelands but Regis gave up them to accept the peace treaty. So they thought they are betrayed by Regis.
And some had connection to Niflheim. Niflheim promised that their homeland will return to them if they betray Regis
And some had connection to Niflheim. Niflheim promised that their homeland will return to them if they betray Regis
Because it was a losing war for them. There's no way the could win. Even Regis knew that. Also, Nifheim promised that they will be able to live in peace. The traitor glaives hate Regis. They thought that to Regis, they are just dispensable pawns and nothing more.
I read somewhere that the post credit scene with the bros is in-game graphics rather than CGI. Is that true?
To be fair they were in their teens when the game got announced.
LMAO
I really like how even with the movie with got many details from the plot, but still nothing about what's actually going on from like half the game onwards. We've still done lots of educated guesses, but to me it feels like there's still a whole fucking lot they still haven't shown to us.
Like, we're missing lore, character motivations, actual game's plot etc.
I think the freely explorable cities will be Lestallum and Altissia, with Tenebrae (and Solheim if it's in at all) being explorable too but only once you free them from Niflheim's control.
Then of course Niflheim and Insomnia only in a combat/mission scenario.

wow thats from the movie?
i thought they were models at first, movie is going to look amazing
I'm not sure. Maybe because it looks exactly like the game's designs

...well, one is a 50 hour videogame the other is a feature CG film, both use impresive tech (or at least good) for their respective mediums

Man. This thread is a spoiler minefield, especially on mobile.
It seems the movie is good. That's all I need to know. I'm out.
Hopefully I can still get a pre-order on the special edition with the Kingsglaive bluray.

I'm not sure, but they were posted a few times in the thread. Gotta say though, the graphics are unbelievably breathtaking.
It's nice seeing such positive impressions for Kingsglaive.

Yup, the website says English / Japanese voices with japanese subtitles (and a audio commentary if I see that correctly).

Yeah, I don't get how we're comparing the graphics of the most realistic looking CG movie so far to an open world console game.

Sweet, thanks. I hope the same applies for the game. I don't want to wait even longer importing it from overseas.

I'd actually say facial animation is one of the weakest points when it comes to the tech used in FFXV. Especially compared to standards set by other games both linear and open world this gen because of things like performance capture, realtime facial wrinkling, etc. (last gen had those things too but many games don't hold up). From the trailer, the movie doesn't have that issue and is in the visual sense, incredibly well made aside from some nitpicky things like this super unconvincing moment where the dude's supposed to be angrily spitting.

Just saw that spit scene. I missed it previously. WTF was that? lol.

Isn't that a series which has more room for character development ?

What happens when a mocap actor is told to spit but doesn't actually spit lol. Thing we consider to be simple are still so hard to do convincingly in 3d, eating, chewing gum, spitting. etc. Least we got this:

Running time is only 105 minutes in total, or 145 minutes for the DVD extended version. It was written in such a way that you can either watch it as twelve separate episodes or one continuous movie.
No it isn't. You're just plain out wrong with your silly "their skin is smooth so they cannot emote" BS. Sure, it's not perhaps on the level of Uncharted 4 or something, but there's still some really good, top-notch facial animation in FFXV.
But, how come Nyx is still loyal to Regis? Is it because he was indebted to the King for saving his life when he was young?

Regis is looking really good in the Dawn trailer IMO, 1:50 forward.

And yeah, there is wrinkle tech in the engine as it shows.

Yes it is. First of all, it's especially prevalent when characters are doing things like smiling. It looks so awkward and almost creepy:
this is a what smiles look like:
It's better than average Japanese games for sure, but definitely not what I'd call top notch, (especially not the english version). It's not even that their skin is too smooth, they seemingly don't have blend shapes for things like cheeks. Even weirder because child Noctis does during that dinner scene. And as someone said above, Regis as well. There's also that Cry demo they made. So obviously they're interested in it in some capacity in their attempts to make FF characters look more realistic.
Yeah, the tech is clearly there. The reason the younger characters don't have wrinkles is a purely artistical choice. Nomura characters at young ages just don't have wrinkles (or only very toned down).
