To Heroes, If I Were the Knicks

Although it is a promotional CG movie for ff15, as far as independent movies are concerned, the plot foreshadowing and character building can already be regarded as an independent movie worth watching. Aside from the shadow of publicity for the game, this rumored CG movie has already been done, even if I am just a passerby who doesn't know Final Fantasy, it can be watched very wonderfully.

Let’s talk about the story first, the standard ff worldview, and the background story can also be said to be very old-fashioned. Powerful countries known for their military force continue to invade neighboring countries, and then countries known for magic crystals continue to resist, and finally only the remaining An unbreakable royal capital.

The protagonist Nix is ​​a member of the king's elite army, Wang Zhijian, and he can be regarded as an ace in the team. There is no royal blood, noble family background, such a protagonist is destined to become a tragedy in such a movie of more than 100 minutes, and it is true that the biggest feature of se is that he will create a particularly tragic hero.

Just as the story goes, the peace negotiation, everything is a conspiracy, the old king knows in his heart, but he can't do anything, and finally he has to entrust the protagonist as a man to help his son. Although we all know that the future may not be good.

The gorgeous CG special effects of the whole movie really make people overwhelmed. Although there are some old-fashioned plots, they still make you want to watch it. In fact, for me, people like Knicks are the ones who want to watch the most. How to be a hero.

Finally, at the most helpless time, Nix still put on the ring of Lucis. He called the kings of Lucis to show up and asked them why they ignored the city that was about to be destroyed. But the kings said he was stupid, don't waste your energy on the days gone by, and shrink from the future. But it takes strength to defeat the enemy, and the condition that the kings give him is the life of a princess or a friend.

Go to your strength, this is the response of Knicks to the kings, he understands better than anyone that he came to ask for strength in order to save them, but now he has to sacrifice them for strength, what is the difference between sacrificing the future, so Knicks The test was ruled unsatisfactory.

However, when it was about to be completely denied, the Knicks said from the bottom of my heart, my life is not important, and giving those who can see the future a future is the most important thing. In the end he traded his life, which would disappear at dawn, for strength. With the approval of the kings, the entire screen suddenly went black, and only the handsome Knicks said, ''Where do I sign? ''

Perhaps this is the case in the rumored story. As the protagonist who was born as a refugee, even if he tried his best, he could not get one percent of the favor of the gods. While the handsome prince at the end of the film is discussing with his companions what the future holds, the unsung hero will always be regarded as a shadow. This kind of feeling makes people feel very sour, even if they do this, they are just nameless.

If I were the Knicks, would the kings trade other people's lives for strength when they test me? Maybe in this way, I can call myself a king with the ring of Lucis, and I don't have to do the rest of the useless things. The empire will be repulsed, and everything will become easier.

What about after that? Even if it does, then what? In the eyes of Knicks, the princess, her friends and herself, everyone sees the same future. If you sacrifice a person's future for strength, it is a hypocritical excuse. So he chose to sacrifice himself, he was not afraid, even though the kings said that future was doomed, because he was still full of hope.

If I were the Knicks, I think the choice should be the same, even if it is the power before dawn, even if it is about to die, even if I can only be a nameless shadow hero, in order to give a future to those who can see the future , that's enough.

The word Hero has also been used throughout the entire movie. Nicks and friends will joke with each other about hero. Maybe these are not jokes. The word hero itself is a name, and it does not need another name to modify it.

Where do I sign, it's more like a tragic declaration, but it sounds so handsome.

    Iedolas Aldercapt: Nothing too vexing, I hope.

    Iedolas Aldercapt: Impressive. You are a paragon of kingly composure. But I must ask, how can you be so sure?
