As we all learned last night, Square Enix's big Final Fantasy event was more than just a platform to reveal the September 30 launch. There was also the announcement of the Brotherhood Final Fantasy XV anime prequel, the new demo that went live last night, and even a CG-animated feature film, Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV.
Kingsglaive is set to premiere this fall, and will feature actors from Game of Thrones, including Sean Bean as King Regis and Lena Headey as Princess Luna, as well as Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul as Kingsglaive soldier Nyx. You can see the trailer below.
The official synopsis from Square Enix's release:
The magical kingdom of Lucis is home to the hallowed Crystal, but the menacing empire of Niflheim will stop at nothing to make it theirs. War has raged between the two for as long as most can remember.
King Regis of Lucis commands an elite force of soldiers dubbed the Kingsglaive. Wielding their king's magic, Nyx Ulric and his fellow glaives stand before the crown city of Insomnia, fighting to stay the inexorable advance of Niflheim's imperial army.
Before the overwhelming military might of the empire, King Regis can only salvage his kingdom by accepting anultimatum—he must cede all lands outside the crown city, and see his son, Prince Noctis, wed to Lady Lunafreya, the former princess of Tenebrae now captive of Niflheim.
As the war of wills rages, the machinations of Niflheim transform Insomnia into an awe-inspiring battleground, pulling Nyx into a struggle for the very survival of the kingdom.
Then we have the amazing Japanese trailer for Final Fantasy XV, which is worth watching through to the end:
The English "Reclaim Your Throne" trailer is good too, but no flying car:
