This film can actually be used as the prologue of the PS4 game "Final Fantasy 15", telling the beginning of the whole story from the perspective of "Knicks", the warrior of the King's Sword. The protagonist with a powerful magical fighting ability is still unavoidable, the discrimination brought about by the identity of a foreigner. In the end, he ended his life in a tragic capital defense battle with the power that required the price of his life. In fact, all the actions of Knicks will also have an impact on what happens to Prince Noctis in the future.
Both the movie and the game are based on the theme of "future", but the overall plot is full of tragedy. From the beginning in the movie to let Princess Luna leave the capital smoothly, to Prince Noctis in the game In order to save the world and bring hope to the future, everyone sacrificed their lives in the end, ending the whole story with the annihilation of the relevant characters. Such an extreme plot development will bring too much regret to the audience and players. I think everyone actually prefers to see that after the end of the story, the prince and princess can still live happily together, which is too sad. It's really unacceptable sometimes.
The powerful CG technology in this film gives the audience a visual sense close to the real world, the characters' movements, expressions, skin color, as well as wrinkles on the skin, protruding blood vessels, and even every hair, allowing all characters to see It looks very real, and it can be seen that it took a lot of time to render, not just to promote the game. And in the scene of large-scale battles, it can better reflect the advantages of CG technology, whether it is a huge plain battlefield, or a bustling urban center, large-scale explosions, battles between huge magical creatures, and magical effects, all can Give the audience a rather gorgeous visual experience.
However, there are still shortcomings. Some non-main characters and related plots can clearly feel the rigidity of the details of the characters' actions. Perhaps considering the cost, this is indeed inevitable. Another thing that bothers me is that there are obvious differences in the character setting of the same person. The movie version is more inclined to Europe and the United States, while the game version has Asian faces. The main manifestation is the female protagonist Lunafilia. Except for the basic settings of some characters, there is a considerable gap in appearance. Substitution brings some imperfections.
The easter egg that appears at the end of the movie turns to Prince Noctis and his party's private road trip. In fact, this happens right after the beginning of the game, which perfectly connects the game and the movie.
Although the quality of the movie is acceptable, SE, as a large game company, must devote a part of its energy to it, which may lead to the disappointment of the PS4 game "Final Fantasy 15" as this article, and waiting for more than ten years. , it is such a game. Although the huge world full of group freedom, close-to-real character modeling, and smooth combat actions all make me sigh, even the game has such a sense of realism and possibility. However, there are still many bugs in the game's system. At the same time, some scenes are obviously overworked and cannot be fully unfolded in the face of the players. The plot line of the game is thin. The original story of the prince's revenge and saving the world is in the first part of the game. You can camp, fish, and visit towns. The relaxed game content makes people feel that this is just a long-distance trip, but in the second half, the player will be told all about the dark side of the world in an instant. Too much contrast makes people feel quite uncomfortable. . And the existence of too many side quests obviously dilutes the players' patience for the game. I can only say that I am a "victim" of a genuine game because of the "inappropriate business" of the game company.
