The product of game companies spending their energy on movies

"Final Fantasy XV: Sword of Kings", a real live-action CG movie, should be able to represent the benchmark in this industry, and it is also the first time that the Final Fantasy series has landed on the big screen in China. Crystal, magic, summoned beasts and other worldview settings, all the classic elements of Final Fantasy are included. This fantasy world created by the combination of modernity and magic, combined with superb CG technology, gives the audience a visual and auditory enjoyment.

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.

    The picture is good, the premise is that it doesn't move, and it will be fake when it moves... Except for the picture, everything else is a piece of shit, is the art setting blind? Audi + Medieval killing Matt is just a dog! Also interspersed with a Western wind prime minister... Why did the sword team go to the princess twice? Looking for a wife for the prince? The country here is about to kneel, and the king sent the prince to travel with the Cowherd? Anyway, the death of other people in the whole family will not affect your son's succession. What bullshit values?

    Is this story completely a copy of the story of the warrior Qin Wang? There are many foreshadowings and contradictions, which are expected to be put into the game. Soul art and dagger make the warrior real man and sword become one, and once again stand at the forefront of the world action system like "The Son of God". The two war scenes at the beginning and the end have both a sense of vigor and a sense of speed, which is really generous.

Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV quotes

  • Regis Lucis Caelum: Quickly, through here. This lead to a hidden passageway. Follow it. Once you are away, make for Altissia. Noctis awaits you there.

    Lunafreya Nox Fleuret: Your majesty.

    Nyx Ulric: You knew this was coming...

    Regis Lucis Caelum: Yes. But it was the only way to draw their wrath from Noctis.

    Nyx Ulric: Is that the way of our king? Sacrifice Lucian sons to save his own?

    Lunafreya Nox Fleuret: To save the world.

    Regis Lucis Caelum: See Luna safely to Altissia. This is not an order from a king to his glaive. This is a plea from one man to another. Please, Nyx Ulric, keep her safe. For the future of all.

  • Nyx Ulric: Show yourselves, kings of Lucis.

    Kings of Lucis: You call upon the wards of this world's future, mortal. And if you come lusting for our power, you must first stand in our judgment.

    Nyx Ulric: How long will you do nothing whilst Insomnia burns? Old or new, or whatever it is. Summon your wall!

    Kings of Lucis: You do not command us. Yours it not even royal blood. It does not fall to us to guard your city. Man is fool creature, clinging to his past and cowering from his future. Wasting his strength on bygone days.

    Nyx Ulric: And what future are you wards of?

    Kings of Lucis: So shortsighted. And cursed never to rise above it.

    Regis Lucis Caelum: Wait. I have seen what this brave soul is prepared to do. He, too, seeks to safeguard the future.

    Kings of Lucis: Very well, young king. We will weigh your warrior's worth. But our boon does not come cheap. The cost is a life. His or her.

    Nyx Ulric: No. To hell with your power. I'm not here for it. I only came to tell you, you are no kings, heh.

    Kings of Lucis: Your worth has been weighed and found wanting. Now burn.

    Nyx Ulric: You're going to lose your precious ring. But it's not too late to save it.

    Kings of Lucis: You mean to barter for your life?

    Nyx Ulric: No, no. My life is nothing. Giving a future to those who want to see it... is everything.

    Kings of Lucis: Hmm. You do not fear, even if that future is doomed. If that sentiment is not false, perhaps you are worthy. We will grant you our light. But know it will set when the sun rises. And the price for it will be your life.

    Nyx Ulric: You guys drive a hard bargain. Where do I sign?
