The biggest selling point this time is its full CG production, which is very reminiscent of Guo Jingming’s "Jueji" last year, but the levels of the two are not the same. If you say "Jueji" is a child staggering To learn to walk, "Final Fantasy" is entirely from the hands of the old driver, and it is enough to slap the former in every way.
Judging from the audience's reaction, it has already seen a lot of difference. "Grand Trail" received a poor
3.8 points, nearly half of the audience gave a one-star bad review, and "Final Fantasy 15" received a good score of 7.4, and more than half of the audience gave a four- to five-star praise. The big gap is obvious.
If word-of-mouth is still convincing enough, then analyze it from a professional perspective.
Square Enix, the producer of "Final Fantasy 15", has been exploring the production of CG movies since the first part of this series. The technology of the first "Final Fantasy: Deep in the Soul" is recognized as having Significance of a landmark. The production team this time has gathered 50 top studios with mature technology and first-class standards.
First of all, it is the excellent restoration of the appearance of the characters, the ultimate physical reality extends to every inch of skin and hair, and the nuances are simply hard to distinguish between true and false.

In "The Legend", all the characters present all-skinned fake faces, and at certain moments they even look like silicone dolls.

Secondly, it is the action display of the characters.
"Final Fantasy 15" has the world's leading motion capture technology, from the small expressions of the characters to the big fight scenes, which are all clearly displayed, so the characters' movements are quite natural, especially the CG fluency of the big scenes. , It’s astounding, cool magic battles, fierce weapon fights, dreamy crystal barriers, frantic gunfire, giant monsters and huge machinery... The whole scene is spectacular and full of imagination. , It is dazzling and not dizzy.
In comparison, the motion capture of "Jeji" is inferior. The lack of details makes the characters appear very stiff from expression to action. The most funny is the single expression presented by different characters, such as the upright corner of the mouth.
"Grand Trail"
When it comes to fast action scenes, it looks like a computer jam, which is very fake. For this reason, each fast action shot is not very short, or unnecessary slow shots are added for buffering, or trying to cover up with fast editing, or else Just come up with a long-term view, let you look at it probably.
It is no exaggeration to say that the naked-eye 2D spike of "Final Fantasy 15" is more than enough to kill the 3D of "Grand Trail".
Finally, in addition to the technological leadership, the production attitude of "Final Fantasy 15" is also much higher than that of "Grand Trail".
Take the scene of the story as an example. Many scenes in "Final Fantasy 15" are all taken from real cities such as Tokyo and New York. At this point, the hard work and painstaking effort are no less than the reputation of "You" some time ago. name".
At the same time, some important buildings also incorporate luxurious medieval styles, which are both life-like and full of magical temperament, combined with superb CG technology to create a unique royal capital scene. The whole picture is simply beautiful.
The scenes in "The Journey" are simply unsightly, either empty mountains and empty seas, or a piece of inky black, the supposedly luxurious imperial capital, but a large number of rough pictures copied and pasted in the blurry darkness.
After talking about technology, let's talk about people.
Let me talk about actors first.
Although the motion capture models of "Final Fantasy 15" are not celebrities, they are all professional actors. Not only do they have tension in their performances, but also have distinctive personalities. The voice actors are all Hollywood talents, such as "Breaking Bad". The famous Aaron Paul, Linna Heidi, who is famous from "300 Warriors", etc., there is a drama in every breath, such a lineup, it is not good to think about it, and it is difficult!
Aaron Paul
What about "Grand Trail"! The whole flow of meat, facial paralysis legion, if the expression is stiff and it can make motion capture technology back, then the line is uttered, like reading a script with a script, what the hell is it? Have these people received professional performance training?
Let's talk about the director.
The director of "Final Fantasy 15" Takeshi Nosue showed his precise grasp of the series in the previous part of the series. Although the film was born out of the game, the whole story is essentially independent of the game, while maintaining all of the game. Setting, a good balance between the needs of game fans and non-game fans, in the end, the big boss Grauk and the protagonist Nix, the debate about whether people should entangle the past or shape the future, made the whole story meaningful and very meaningful. Look at it.

As for Guo Jingming, the director of "Lord's Trail", I can only scream. He doesn't know how to tell a story. All kinds of unknown nouns, inexplicable and messy characters, are filled in a thin and illogical story. Look. It looks like a chaotic dream after a person has eaten too much to digest. It was not until the last 15 minutes that the story was barely clarified through the mouth of the character...It can't be more low! If you haven’t watched it yet and are curious to watch it, I suggest you watch the last 15 minutes.
Guo Jingming
It can be said that "Final Fantasy 15" is a top-notch work with 80% technology, 90% acting skills, and 100% director complementing each other. "Lord's Path" is a nine-tiered spicy chicken with 30% technology, 30% acting skills, and 30% director. .
It is said that there is no harm if there is no comparison. It is true. If you haven't watched "Final Fantasy 15", you don't know how bad the "Grand Trail" is!
