You can get started on the series with episode one, Before the Storm, right here:. Storyline: The magical kingdom of Lucis is home to the hallowed Crystal, but the menacing empire of Niflheim will stop at nothing to make it theirs. It's the same issue I have with Final Fantasy: the Spirits Within. Although the king concedes, it becomes clear that the empire will stop at nothing to achieve their devious goals, with only the Kingsglaive standing between them and world domination.
After 10 long years, the 15th main entry in the Final Fantasy series will launch tomorrow on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. It introduces forgettable characters and bombards you with impenetrable lore, and stitches these moments together with outlandish-yet-entertaining action scenes. It was a series of characters that I could not get into. This five-episode anime series is available for free on YouTube, and it serves as a prequel to the main game. There's no word yet on a separate release of the Blu-ray - and the Ultimate Edition is already sold out - but hopefully won't leave fans hanging.

It was some of the best animation I've seen, with the most detailed character design, absolutely mind blowing. May have been a better movie if it was just one big action sequence. Before the overwhelming military might of the empire, King Regis can only salvage his kingdom by accepting an ultimatum-he must cede all lands outside the crown city, and see his son, Prince Noctis, wed to Lady Lunafreya, the former princess of Tenebrae now captive of Niflheim. Wielding their king's magic, Nyx Ulric and his fellow glaives stand before the crown city of Insomnia, fighting to stay the inexorable advance of Niflheim's imperial army.

I can only imagine if I were a true die hard Final Fantasy fan, other than just someone vaguely familiar with the games, that I would like the movie just a little more, maybe being able to point out the trivia would get me excited. The film's animation was great but I got very little from the story and found the characters far two dimensional. War has raged between the two for as long as most can remember.

Wielding their king's magic, Nyx Ulric and his fellow glaives stand before the crown city of Insomnia, fighting to stay the inexorable advance of Niflheim's imperial army. The only problem is, getting to these action packed parts means having to bare though a poorly produce plot that's easy enough to follow, but hard to get into. As the overwhelming military might of the empire bears down, King Regis is faced with an impossible ultimatum — to marry his son, Prince Noctis to Princess Lunafreya of Tenebrae, captive of Niflheim, and surrender his lands to Niflheim rule.

Watching the show will help you understand things like why Ignis is such a devoted chef, or why Gladiolus is so tough. These details may not seem all that important, but they help you form a deeper connection with the main cast of the game. Before the overwhelming military might of the empire, King Regis can only salvage his kingdom by accepting an ultimatum-he must cede all lands outside the crown city, and see his son, Prince Noctis, wed to Lady Lunafreya, the former princess of Tenebrae now captive of Niflheim.
Not even with the voice talents of Arron Paul and Sean Bean could I gather enough emotion to give a crap about anyone or anything in this movie.
