(I directly copy my own comment on Youku) There is a little spoiler, please note that
(1) 300 words are not enough, it is divided into several parts. The serial numbers are in parentheses, please pay attention. Let’s talk about the background of the story first. The movie tells the important plot in the game from the perspective of King Zhijian: the fall of the royal capital. As a person who has cleared the game, I am very excited to see this plot. The characteristic elements of the game: teleportation attacks, magic, luxury cars, kings and swords are all perfectly reproduced. From the setting, it is a movie work that perfectly complements the game. And the heavy "hero" at the end of the story also echoes the prince's mood when he beat the boss at the end of the game. I believe that everyone who has played the game has a deep understanding of this. In Final Fantasy 15, power is more about cost and responsibility: Kings of the past generations can give you great power to save the world, but you must have the sense of responsibility to shoulder all this, and the awareness of giving your life. It can be said that the performance of the Knicks is exactly the same as that of the prince. It runs through the core of this generation of works: the fate of the Lucis royal family
(2) The meaning of the sword of the king: In the final 15, all the kings of Lucis can use the sword that was incarnated after the death of the previous king, that is, the sword of the king. The king's exclusive army and these swords have the same name, which undoubtedly directly points out their identity and power: the power given by the king to protect the king (note that it is not a country, because the idea of ​​​​this series is that the king is selected by the crystal, and there is a king's talent. have countries). However, the villain of this film also mainly comes from the betrayer of the King's Sword, which hints at the price brought by the power of the king. But to be honest, this villain's betrayal idea is because the logic of the king's surrender made his hometown fall to the empire. And the premise of this logic is that they think that the empire rules their hometown and will destroy it, so why don't they complain about the empire Keke. But in contrast, another king's sword (that is, the kings) appeared in the form of the legendary old wall, and the effect was still very shocking, especially when they used teleport attacks.
(3) Roles. Let's talk about Luna first. In fact, I heard that Cersei is dubbing at the beginning of the film. Her tough voice really reflects Luna's fearlessness about her destiny and her belief in finding the prince. But it is a pity that the excessive toughness lacks the missing feelings for the prince. Then there was Crowe. I still remember that Lipoters said he was like his sister. In fact, this is the same for the Knicks. mission, and finally this feeling was put on Luna). Speaking of Fatty, when the Revolutionary Army called him a "hero", I found out that the movie deliberately made his hairstyle and injuries the same as the Knicks in the back. The action behind it, and the dagger that came from God. Knicks, as the only person in the entire movie who understands the king's intentions and the conspiracy of the empire, deserves to wear the ring.
(4) Finally, let’s talk about some details in the movie. The protagonists mentioned Final Fantasy's mascot during the meal after the first battle: Chocobo; the King's Throne in the back reminded me of the cold and desolate throne at the end of the game; the King's decision after hearing the Knicks report and a It can be seen from the series of actions that he is actually a very wise and kingly king, not the stupid father in Nok's eyes; the king and the person next to him fighting together said that an old friend can recall the photo of the four of them when the king traveled when he was young; The imperial king's order to the prime minister to destroy the corpse also hints at the prime minister's plan in the game; Luna's brother's prosthetic arm is also explained in this work (it seems that the image in the game is a foreshadowing, I have long wanted to make a movie) . And of course the post-credit game start screen (the "easy" journey begins). I hope that all audiences who like this movie can experience the game works, I believe you will not be disappointed. Thanks!

    Regis Lucis Caelum: Perhaps. But no matter. That which was taken will soon be returned.

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