Brotherhood: Final Fantasy XV - Reviews

Hey! So, this isn’t much of a review but more like a summary/here’s what to expect kind of thing. First of all, my hype for Final Fantasy XV is suuuuuper high…as it should be. Second, I’m not claiming to be an expert or anything but it looks like there is some confusion around this anime so I thought I’d lend a hand in trying to clear things up.

Okay so here we go, as many of you know there is a new Final Fantasy video game coming out in November. If you didn’t know that, get on it yo! This anime is kind of like a fun backstory promo for the game and there is a movie (Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV) that is an even bigger backstory promo. The anime focuses on a few of the main characters and sort of their place in the story while the movie does an overall realm backstory.

Here’s what to expect from this anime:

1. Fun character backstories
2. A look at what some of the “gameplay” will be like
3. Hype promotion

That’s about it. If you want a full on anime series this isn’t it. It’s short and simple and seems to be made for the fans waiting for the new game. Just wanted to throw this out there in the hopes that someone might find it to be helpful. Get hype!

Notice: this review will evolve as the rest of the episodes get released.

Episode 1: Before the Storm

Too short a first episode (11 minutes!). Although I wish the rest be longer, I honestly doubt it.

Colors and animation are beautiful, but the characters themselves look too stiff. Through quick conversation bits there's a brief establishment of who's who (within the main 4 characters only); the situation of the Kingdom of Lucis and a little bit of backstory, all while displaying different views of the Duscaean region.

For fans who played FFXV Episode Duscae demo, there is nothing new here (yet). Unfortunately, if this anime is only 5 episodes of 11 minutes each, I can't foresee much else happening. 

Conclusion: expect rushed scenes with awkward dialogues and occasional flashy action on beautiful environments and dramatic lighting. 

DISCLAIMER

ONLY WATCH THIS ANIME IF U HAVE PLAYED THE GAME AND COMPLETED IT  IF NOT U WOULD BE HELLA CONFUSED AND WILL DEFINITELY HATE IT.

ok so I recently finished final fantasy 15 and i am not gonna lie the game was quite good and i had a very good time playing it. the best thing about the game are it's characters. The characters grow on u and u feel like they are ur friends too. The anime is about the backstories of our main 4 characters and it is quite good too. Every episode is like 15 mins long and the content it offers is very enjoyable too.the animation is quite good but could have been better and there is no op and ed to it but the background music is absolutely perfect for this. U can definitely watch this anime if u liked the characters in the game and if u want to know more about them. I wish there was more to it but it is a very short and can complete it in like 1 hour in one sitting.
