Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV
Short description
The empire of Niflheim seeks to seize a sacred crystal located in the magical kingdom of Lucis. To protect this relic, King Regis relies on the Kingsglaive, an elite group of soldiers including Nyx Ulric who utilize the king's magic. Facing a massive military assault, the king is forced to accept an ultimatum to surrender his lands and arrange a marriage between his son, Prince Noctis, and the captive Princess Lunafreya of Tenebrae. Despite these concessions, the conflict escalates into a violent struggle for the survival of the kingdom.
Directed by Takeshi Nozue, this action and science fiction animation is the second film in the director's chronological history, following Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. The screenplay was written by Takashi Hasegawa and produced by Hajime Tabata. The Japanese voice cast features Go Ayano, Shioli Kutsuna, Ayumi Fujimura, Keiji Fujiwara, Koichi Yamadera, and Shozo Iizuka, with 36 credited cast members in total.
The film has received generally positive responses from audiences, earning a 6.7 rating on IMDb from over 22,000 votes and a 6.8 on TMDB from 778 votes. However, these scores are higher than the 4.8 rating provided by film critics based on 17 reviews.
