Kingsglaive, Final Fantasy XV’s CG, is stupidly realistic

But hey, don’t forget that the movie has a story. Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV takes place before the events of the upcoming game, and it focuses on the war between the kingdom of Lucis and the empire of Niflheim. Lucis’ king, the father of the game’s protagonist, struggles to hold onto his power and turns to an elite group of soldiers called the “Kingsglaive,” lead by a CG -rendered Aaron Paul, to defend his palace.

Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV also stars Game of Thrones actors Sean Bean and Lena Headey in lead roles. Hopefully, this will be more than just rampant, gorgeous fan-service like Advent Children and actually provides an emotional foundation for the subsequent game. The film will see a wide release in Japan on July 9.
