Noct is not emo per se, he's more introverted, and I don't mean not outgoing or anti-social, he just has trouble conveying what he really feels to others...
It's less about guts and more about being an ignorant spoiled brat who had absolutely no idea what kind of ramifications her actions and behaviour could cause.
Knowing the backstories and connections between characters helps a lot in liking them, and I have to say that this anime is doing an amazing job at making you care about them, well done.
I know. . . I played episode Duscae and didn't even take the time to differentiate between who was Promto, Gladiolous, and Ignis. Anime is helping me to like the characters from the start. Hopefully the game is well written enough to build off it well.
Hopefully the game will also take time to establish the characters and their relationships to one another. It'd be really strange if the writers only relied on this series to explain the characters' backstories rather than also include something similar in the game.
Most likely it'll do a much better job than the game itself. The game is not demoing very well and there are many rumors circulating that the gameplay is just awful. We'll see how it all pans out, but I won't be holding my breath...
I actually enjoyed the small touch that Noct was a picky eater in the first episode. It helpes to characterise him as less of a sullen, cool dude and more as a guy who was fairly introverted and maybe slightly spouled from his royal upbringing.
*Me watching Gladio struggling with push-ups* Me: "Pfft, I can do 50 straight with ease, and he's having trouble with the first two? What a wuss!" *Camera pans out* Me: "OH!"
So... if Iris hadn't fessed up and told her little secret.. Do you think Glad would actually hate Noct and the party wouldn't have Glad anymore? Even worse, Glad never actually teaches Noct how to properly fight, so Noct is a little weeny who gets stomped in combat. Boom, Butterfly Effect.
This Brotherhood series is one of the best ways to promote a game that I've ever seen. With every episode, I want to play as these people more and more.
both the Ignis and Gladiolus episodes were pretty damn emotional.. good job Square, im impressed. Now Ignis is next huh. Let's see if they make me go from not caring about him to actually like him too
@@averagesionenjoyer8948 Igni's weird toupée kinda throws me off ngl. The Unkempt outfit you get after beating Episode Ignis has his hair down and he looks SO MUCH BETTER. And hotter, too.
I'm glad square is feeding us all this FF 15 entertainment besides the game it makes me feel that they are trying to compensate the large wait time and I'm all for it :)
Ich liebe die Charaktergestaltung. Diese Hintergrundgeschichte zu den Charakteren und ihre Bindung zu Noctis sind sehr interessant und wirklich schön. Es ist immer wieder beeindruckend, wie ein Mensch eine ganze Gruppe miteinander verknüpft. Vor allem, dass man trotz Charakterentwicklung von Noctis nicht die anderen Charaktere, denen die Flashbacks gewidmet sind, aus dem Fokus verliert, ist wirklich gut gemacht. Die Serie macht wirklich Lust auf das fertige Spiel!
A solid formula that never fails to deliver: a stand-alone reminiscence of an event that changed the perspective of one on another after an unexpected development of events that renders the focal character from denial into acceptance. Works all the time, and this episode is no exception. Excellent episode.
Every episode per month are getting better. I'm never gonna play the game because I cant afford the console. But watching the series seems like I experienced 3% of the game. Thanks square
man this made me tear up, just Noctis is so genuine and selfless. I love how we also just see in the actual game how they all know Noctis' real heart of gold even if he comes across as aloof and downcast, and this series reflects that shared history. like when we first meet Iris in game, it's all the more powerful with this context behind it of their childhood memories. great writing
Isnt Gladio 23 and Noctis 20 in the game? How come in the Anime Gladio looks way older? Loved this episode anyway. I wish we knew more about how Gladdy got his scar and how he got so damn huge???!!!
Wow, between this and episode 2, I can already tell that I'm going to love the game. Just as long as it manages to keep up THIS kind of great chemistry between the characters. It's going to be a lot of fun.
Anyone else find it funny how the guy whose name means "short sword" had the biggest sword of the group. Methinks somebody's compensating for something... ;P
and gladius is from latin, that means sword. not short sword. the fact that romans sword was short during the republic and the first imperial age doesn't mean that gladius mean short sword. they use gladius word to say "sword", whatever it was the lenght
Many are disappointed that this show isn't dark like the original trailer. But I'm glad. I like how feel good this game is. It's going to be a wonderful experience!
Huh, I remember the very beginning of this episode is actually an event in-game. There's a hunt to hunt 6 of those garulas(?) and in the middle of it, a bunch of Magitek soldiers will show up.
This episode exemplifies the in-game experience. *Farming enemies for meat.* *kill them easily* *More enemies run up* *Ok no problem* *Empire halo drops in* *FUCKING A!!!*
Controversial statement, I know, but XV has the potential to be among the best FF's yet. I'm greatly looking forward to seeing the whole story. I'm loving every moment of these episodes. Can't wait!
Man, this game should have had metal gear solid length cutscenes, there’s not enough in the game to have that true emotional impact they aim for at the end unless you know like 80% of the lore. This story, world, aesthetic , and characters are so amazing I wish there was more of it with more cutscenes and less awkward pacing in some of the in game dialogue parts.
exactly my thoughts. the game has great characters and had so much potential, but the storyline rly sabotaged it. i found myself not even feeling the moments that were meant to be very dramatic, and that's something i rarely struggle with.
I have a feeling they're going to go in depth more with Gladiolus sister and what happened to her in the game along with maybe the meeting between Prompt and that one girl who I can't remember the name of. I'm really hoping for the game to have more brotherly interactions
I thought I recognised Gladio's voice actor, and after a searching for a bit, turns out it's the same voice actor as All Might from My Hero Academia! Amazing
This is THE best advertising campaign for a game ever! I'm learning more about these characters, their lives and motivations, and I'm getting attached to them. I can not wait for this game to come out now, but I also worry that these videos will stop once it does, and I don't want that to happen! :(
the animation quality for this ep is so good here than the previous ones (or is that just me :P). Nice episode though, its definitely my favourite one so far ;D
I call next episode will be about Ignis, and then episode 5 will be about Noctis and the next and thus last episode will be about how the group "got together"
+MrProtoMega Really? I figured we wouldn't have an episode dedicated to Luna since she's the love interest of Noctis rather than a part of the brotherhood
C'est super, mais à chaque épisode, j'ai peur. J'ai peur parce que clairement, l'univers de FF XV est ultra riche, à tel point qu'il déborde du jeu. Mais justement, j'ai peur que ça soit trop riche et trop brouillon... Ou bien qu'au contraire, le jeu n'explore plus grand chose parce que toutes les histoires ont été racontées avant... x) Oui, je sais, c'est complètement con... Mais j'y peux rien x) (Pourtant, les histoires entre les persos sont vraiment cools, ça, il y a aucun doute x) )
Bin, il y a un potentiel là. Dans des univers riches bien exploités on a A Song Of Ice and Fire comme livre ( et son adaptation discutable en série : Games Of Thrones )... certes c'est dans un autre domaine mais au fond ça se rejoint puisque le jeu vidéo permet de développer une histoire de manière bien plus proche du livre que du film. Donc si Square Enix gère bien, on peut se retrouver avec du très très lourd :)
DarkLilty501 Oui, je suis d'accord, j'espère que SE va gérer. Enfin, je me fais pas trop de soucis, mais j'y peux rien, je peux pas m'empêcher de m'inquiéter quand même un peu pour ça xD. (Et tiens, c'est rare quelqu'un qui cite le vrai nom de la saga littéraire... Et oui, l'adaptation est discutable xD)
Ha ha ha, effectivement, bien que la saga originale rencontre un certain succès ( accrue avec la série d'ailleurs ), il y a encore une majorité de gens qui ne se fie qu'à la série... Vraiment dommage, tellement l'oeuvre originale est bien plus complexe ( et intéressante, à mon goût ). Et puis depuis la saison 4 la série a fait un beau bras d'honneur aux livres donc bon ^^
Now I understand why the imperial encounter rate was so high in Duscae. They were just trying to give us a imperial/garula cross-encounter so we could relive this animation.
The most realistic part of this short was the Nif troops showing up and dropping in on your hunt as if the hunt wasn't difficult enough lol
Nah this game baby game
In-game they are quite annoying too. They could spawn very far from the original point of combat and it affected a lot to post-battle evaluation
Anyone who still has the stupidity to call Noctis emo should just watch this episode. Perfectly conveys his compassion and love for people.
I don't think being "emo" and being compassionate are mutually exclusive, but I get what you are saying (i.e. that his character is not 1D).
crimsonrose You have a point
Noct is not emo per se, he's more introverted, and I don't mean not outgoing or anti-social, he just has trouble conveying what he really feels to others...
Noct is not emo he's more complex than u think. It mskes sense the way he is cos he doesn't show a lot of emotion. Well most of the time
The anime version is stupid really, Noctis is nothing like that in the game. Seems whoever wrote the anime had no idea what the game about whatsoever
Yo that's girl's got some balls, marching up to the palace and demanding to see the prince
The irony....
"irony balls"... ok i'll leave
+Zen subtitles?
Nah dead ass tho 💀

yeah I was skeptical for the cast (specially due to it being all-male-in-black) for a long time but they've grown on me the more info we get
Most likely it'll do a much better job than the game itself. The game is not demoing very well and there are many rumors circulating that the gameplay is just awful. We'll see how it all pans out, but I won't be holding my breath...
Ikr, I actually didn't like the characters very much but after watching this anime I think i'm getting really "close" to them.
I didn't expect this to be such a feel-good series. Awesome.
the 1st episode was kind of sub par but from there it got much better
I actually enjoyed the small touch that Noct was a picky eater in the first episode. It helpes to characterise him as less of a sullen, cool dude and more as a guy who was fairly introverted and maybe slightly spouled from his royal upbringing.
@@shinny_grimmyit helps to show that noctis gets more mature as he grows older
*Me watching Gladio struggling with push-ups*
Me: "Pfft, I can do 50 straight with ease, and he's having trouble with the first two? What a wuss!"
*Camera pans out*
Me: "OH!"
Riku72293 pff was that pushups? you make me laugh
i know i’m three years late and all, whatever, but how can you do 50 push-ups with ease??? i can barely do one
kay :D yeah really late
Nyko Uchiha eh, at least i’m not like 10 yrs late 😂
is a handstand push up, if you are referring to LOL
So... if Iris hadn't fessed up and told her little secret.. Do you think Glad would actually hate Noct and the party wouldn't have Glad anymore? Even worse, Glad never actually teaches Noct how to properly fight, so Noct is a little weeny who gets stomped in combat.
Boom, Butterfly Effect.
Seriously the amount of love being poured into 15 is outstanding.
OMGGGGG IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!! OMG I LOVE THIS EPISODE!!!!
yesssss Its here so Beautiful T.T!!!
not as good as the prompto episode but still pretty good
+monkeyswag57 I liked this equally much
hey leo from tekken!!!
+Martin Skjøtt your profile pic is the best anime
Every episode puts a smile on my face and it's amazing. I love baby Noctis.
This Brotherhood series is one of the best ways to promote a game that I've ever seen. With every episode, I want to play as these people more and more.
both the Ignis and Gladiolus episodes were pretty damn emotional.. good job Square, im impressed. Now Ignis is next huh.
Let's see if they make me go from not caring about him to actually like him too
You mean prompto and Glado right?
How can you not care about a new recipee
how is it possible to not love ignis especially after finishing the game andd episode ignis what wtf
@@averagesionenjoyer8948 Igni's weird toupée kinda throws me off ngl. The Unkempt outfit you get after beating Episode Ignis has his hair down and he looks SO MUCH BETTER. And hotter, too.
the relationship between tank and dd.
Word.
How am I so invested in this story so quickly? I'm actually shocked that my cynical brain is hooked.
Iris has the attention span of a newborn puppy.
Iris is so adorable 😭
I'm glad square is feeding us all this FF 15 entertainment besides the game it makes me feel that they are trying to compensate the large wait time and I'm all for it :)
Yes I hope they do something like this for KH3
That's exactly why they're doing it, they have said why.
Better they make a really good game after 8 years since the announcement
Isn't it 10 already?
Yeah could be, i remember i pre ordered Versus 13 just after 13 came out
The piano moment in the end is so beautiful !! The OST will be awesome , can't wait !!

This series is absolutely wholesome, really didn't expect it.
ugh, four years later and that ending still gets me dang it
Gladiolus is so manly,his balls dropped when he was 4 years old
😐
Holy crap. The music throughout the whole final fantasy xv franchise is building up to be the best soundtrack in gaming and movie history
Gladiolus kind of reminds me of Angeal from Crisis Core.
Anyways, awesome episode
I think his English voice actor is the same as Angeal's
really? :D is there a English-dubbed version of this anime?
PianofanSUI
No not yet. But the actual game has an English dub, Watch the episode Duscae demo and you'll see what I mean
+Awake Now thanks for the tip! :)
that game tho, the feels :'(
A solid formula that never fails to deliver: a stand-alone reminiscence of an event that changed the perspective of one on another after an unexpected development of events that renders the focal character from denial into acceptance. Works all the time, and this episode is no exception. Excellent episode.
For me , I feel the quality of episode3 is better than episode 2 and 1
Elaborate?
Yes
Nothing can beat the emotional roller coaster that was episode 2!!!!!. but yeah, it was pretty good
noctis= sasuke
They do look similar but not in term of personality.
Every episode per month are getting better. I'm never gonna play the game because I cant afford the console. But watching the series seems like I experienced 3% of the game. Thanks square
mee too cannot afford the console
man this made me tear up, just Noctis is so genuine and selfless.

I’m three years late but it’s probably because Gladio is a tank. When they’re older he still dwarfs noctis
The scar going down his left eye is explained in-game through the Gladious Episode Addon in which he earns it from from fighting Gilgamesh
@@ZeusStormbringer no no, it was his forehead that got scarred after fighting gilgamesh
@@quanskye4504 it's been a while since I played through his episode so thanks for pointing that out
the music at the end is so pretty :3
Wow, between this and episode 2, I can already tell that I'm going to love the game. Just as long as it manages to keep up THIS kind of great chemistry between the characters. It's going to be a lot of fun.
This did not age well
@@the.duck.is.ronin. what happened?? 👀
@@devyaulia7507 The characters had almost no personality until the DLC came out, and the game was considered a disaster on launch.
Anyone else find it funny how the guy whose name means "short sword" had the biggest sword of the group.
Methinks somebody's compensating for something... ;P
Gladio is short for Gladiolus though, not Gladius :)
Sergejs Adamovs Gladiolus is a derivative of Gladius (also its the name of a flower)
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
and gladius is from latin, that means sword. not short sword. the fact that romans sword was short during the republic and the first imperial age doesn't mean that gladius mean short sword. they use gladius word to say "sword", whatever it was the lenght
florianhatake So he has a small dick?
I really like this series. Perfect prologue to FFXV. Really likable group of Bros.
Cannot express how much that I cannot wait for this game. These episodes help ease that pain. Thank you.
Such a nice episode and the credits song at the end is beautiful.
I want this show to continue it's so good
its cool that noctis past is somehow bend with the others past in every single way and its cool how they show it
Beautiful episode!!! ❤️In the end I was moved!!! 😭
I cry everytime when Noct and Gladiolus fist bump
I love this anime with all my might
I love how these anime shorts give us insight on the characters with beautifully crafted little stories. Makes me so hyped for the game!
Amazing episode. Loved the music at the end :3
Well written; great character depth, feels genuine. Awesome!
11:18 It's all about the Bromance. This series is awesome!
Many are disappointed that this show isn't dark like the original trailer. But I'm glad. I like how feel good this game is. It's going to be a wonderful experience!
iris is so funny, shes in full game too, I really like her
it's too short nooooo
yes, but this is a best episode
that's what she said :P
Lmao 😜
12:25 OMG that music
Huh, I remember the very beginning of this episode is actually an event in-game. There's a hunt to hunt 6 of those garulas(?) and in the middle of it, a bunch of Magitek soldiers will show up.
So it was finally confirmed Iris is the mystery girl seen in the trailer. SE just released her character details.
Loved this episode, Noct is so cute and so kind to Iris. And was good to see the relation between Gladio and Noctis
This episode exemplifies the in-game experience.
*Farming enemies for meat.*
*kill them easily*
*More enemies run up*
*Ok no problem*
*Empire halo drops in*
*FUCKING A!!!*
If this is representative of what the story and writing will be like then I can't wait to play the game.
Controversial statement, I know, but XV has the potential to be among the best FF's yet. I'm greatly looking forward to seeing the whole story. I'm loving every moment of these episodes. Can't wait!
Cada episodio se va haciendo mejor que el anterior, excelentes capítulos me esta gustando mucho esta serie :)

The best one yet!!!
Where's EP4????
Please...watching this only make me want to play the game very much
And thank you so much for the multi-language subtitles!!
gladio really didnt like the prince in the begunning, but he really changed his opinions of the prince, near the end.
I honesty find this animated mini-series to be superficially better than the entire SAO animated series.
Nächstes mal dann Ignis, ich freu mich schon :D
only 2 episodes in and i already have an entirely different view on the whole squad in ffxv
so much feelings after finished the game and re-watch this one again T.T
THIS SERIES MAKES ME SO DAMN HAPPY AAAAAAA
btw the man next to the king is clarius gladios dad
These are really good....hell, I want an expanded series to come out of this.
It was a good episode, I can't' wait for the next!
next episode will be talking about Ignis? :D
Wow wasn't sure after ep two if the rest would be as good. Its totally as good. Loved it, cant wait for Iggy's story
I watched this for a full two minutes without realizing I didn't turn on the subs lol.
Seriously this Anime is amazing. I would LOVE to see a full Anime of this
All of these are quite such feels ; u ; mah hart, mah sole
Anybody knows the song playing during the credits?
I have a feeling they're going to go in depth more with Gladiolus sister and what happened to her in the game along with maybe the meeting between Prompt and that one girl who I can't remember the name of. I'm really hoping for the game to have more brotherly interactions
So far I like gladio the most with prompto as close second favorite of the group
I thought I recognised Gladio's voice actor, and after a searching for a bit, turns out it's the same voice actor as All Might from My Hero Academia! Amazing

This episode is better then others. Love it
Beautiful bgm at the end ~Great storytelling
Oh my god!! I LOVE the music so much!!!! Nothing less from Shimomura.
Awesome Brotherhood Final Fantasy XV Video.
This episode was great! I can't wait for episode 4!
This is pure art
Awww! This was soo cute ^-^ I'm so happy for Noctis.
Fantastic Anime, beautyful and detailled.
I call next episode will be about Ignis, and then episode 5 will be about Noctis and the next and thus last episode will be about how the group "got together"
yea for reasons like that corry in the house is one of the best anime.. you never expect what will happen next there!
Exactly
Actually, the final one is about Luna.
They need to show Cor Leonis.
+MrProtoMega Really? I figured we wouldn't have an episode dedicated to Luna since she's the love interest of Noctis rather than a part of the brotherhood
can't wait for the game 👍
Beautiful episode ! Can't wait for the game release !!!
Great music and story:)

She is fucking determined to get the cat
wow these mangas have such captivating stories I juts got lost in time!!
The Lucis empire was so focused on looking fly as hell that they forgot to strengthen their defenses and that's why they lost to the Niff empire.
very beautiful the music in the final of the episode.
by far the best anime episode
im loving this backstory
Thanks for the Italian subs :3
awww i wish it was longer 😭
Ok
