KINGSGLAIVE: Final Fantasy XV Comic Con Trailer, Release Date and Confirmed Theaters

Alright, just a little context. Last Final Fantasy I beat was X, which I really liked. Played XII but never beat it and didn't bother with any of the ps3 ones. I watched and enjoyed Advent Children and hated Spirits Within.

Kingsglaive is easily the best Final Fantasy movie because it actually felt like an actual movie. The movie took its time showing off scenery while giving enough exposition around the kingsglaive, so when shit went down, you would actually care. The movie does a really good job of building up tension, particularly one moment midway through the movie that is tense as FUCK.

The opening battle was sick and the ending scenes were epic. However, a lot of the action scenes were hard to follow. The teleporting sword shit is cool and all but when you try to implement it within intricate fight choreo, then its too hard to track.

The movie was stunning to look at, pacing was kind of slow in some parts and transitions happened so sudden, the english dub was passable, the story had some depth and the action moments were pretty cool. Nix is the homie. It actually makes me want to play Final Fantasy XV right now, which before the movie I had no urge. So I guess, job accomplished?!

It's always weird to see people refer to the english version as a "dub." When it's the original version and intended version of the film.

Just curious where you managed to see it in English? I'll be in Japan starting this Saturday, but I figured I wouldn't be able to find a screen anywhere showing it in English.

Wawww im hyped, I hope it's a bigger deal than it sounds. I mean it already sounds really good for people just coming in to FFXV and what not,
but I wonder how it must feel for a long time versus fan who knew all the details, how well does Nozue pander to people like that.
I hope it hits me hard, I can't stop rewatching like the last 20 seconds of that new trailer.

The party scene with Somnus playing as well as the signing showdown is all really we get in terms of blatant Versus references.

This looks way better than I had initially expected. But when are the list of LA area theaters coming?! Plenty of fans in this area.

Lmao @ the BTS
"So the guy who tried it on back there, I guess he wasn't deemed worthy". Nice subtle slip in from the ending

Slightly new footage/english voice from a small behind the scenes,

Also on another side note, I see people love the writing and localization of FFXII and FFXIV a lot on here.

If it helps apparently Dan Inoue was the translator/writer for those and he is also doing it for Kingsglaive.

Also on FFXV:

Tabata here.
Thank you for your excellent comment. I have some answers for you.

Your point about Ignis in the English language version is a valid one. Using the intricacies of language to make the experience more fun for players is fine, but if the character's personality changes across languages and becomes someone else, the original intent is lost.

We've put a lot of care into making the unique character that is Ignis, and to ensure the character is communicated as intended, I've seated the Localization Lead, Dan Inoue, right by me in the development area.

As to your point about Cidney/Cindy, a minor name change may not have created issues in past FF games, but it does for FF XV. I think it has to do with the fact we are targeting a simultaneous global launch.

Rest assured that we're discussing these issues internally and working out the best way to improve things, so I hope you can look forward to what you'll see in the final product.

Thank you very much.​
