KINGSGLAIVE: FINAL FANTASY XV (All Media Release Japan 2016)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì 

Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV—out-of-this-world animation with more offered cinematically than seems necessary to carry the film—provides a small snippet of a much larger story. If one does not play the game and drops into the movie, it may not make sense and becomes exceptionally hard to follow. The movie works best for audiences who follow the story through gaming. Other audiences need to read the backstory and the plotline before viewing the movie to understand it. Wikipedia provides a plot line for this film.
