The complete story of Final Fantasy 15 (up until the game starts)

- We're quite excited about Final Fantasy 15, but with Kingsglaive, Brotherhood, and the rest of the extended universe, it's easy to be behind on the story before the game even starts. So, here's Aoife with an explanation of everything that happened up until you select 'New Game.'

I'm so happy you pointed out the thing about Prompto losing the weight not because Noct ignored him, but because it made himself more confident. Seems people forget some people want to be normal weight because they want to.
Well I think its clearly expressed in the anime as well. Not once do we see evidence of Noct staying away from Prompto prior to his weight loss. Noctis actually is seen looking for Prompto, which made me feel like the weight had nothing to do with Noctis's approval but rather just Prompto's own self-confidence.
Chase Williams No I know. I'm just saying that because people seemed to have interpreted it that way back when I first watched it and read the comments.
ohhh I gotcha
@@dangerzone87 yes. It seemed to me Noct was merely impressed by his hard work, and surprised to realize it was the same person!
And remember kids, Ozempic for the rich, body positivity for the poor.
Came here for answers, ended up with more questions!
Prompto is the best because he can express true happiness without being cringy
Althalos The Dance Machine true! he's the very definition of "sunshine" child 😍
And he rescues small defenseless animals :)
And never again drove the car. 😂
Aofie *needs* to make more videos like this. This was great.
If it even comes close to FFX in terms of story development I'll be happy. What I loved about FFX story is that both the player and the main character enter the story just as clueless as to what the hell is going on, and both stay ignorant of what is actually tramming until the endgame, when you finally realize that everyone was lying to you in order to keep your blissful ignorance and your hopes alive. It was really masterfully done, as far as video game narrative goes... Still my favorite to this day. I hope the devs took inspiration from it.
What did you think of it? I was VERY disappointed...FFX has so much character/story development and this one did not have much at all. IMO
I simply love Aoife's delivery! Agreed, Prompto is the best FF character ever.
I agree absolutely professional video right here.
zack fair= best FF character ever
I'm sold on the entire Brotherhood already, but Prompto has this excitement about him that I love
Nix is probably the coolest character in the game's world... and he died before the game evwn start.
+Sekushu it's FF they have a "characters must die" policy. Zack, Sephiroth, Genesis, Angeal, Vincent, Ariel etc
Sekushu I honestly agree too. His battle in the movie definitely should crown him as king instead of noctis ;-;
Sekushu Nyx sounds like a awesome character
Totally agreed. He's so badass as a fighter. He should be the main character in FFXV
@@danielnguyen9863 There would be no character development if this was the case. Reason you are most probable to like Noctis by the end.
A Niflheim general kills your mum and you blame someone else for her death and then joins Niflheim to get revenge?
I still have the same reaction as I did when I watched Kingsglaive.
WHAAAATTT???!!!
Lunafreya Nox Fleuret Yeah, I didn't get that either. He reminds me a bit of Seifer.
He develops stocolhm syndrome growing resentment for Regis for not stopping to help him and his mom(although she was dead, as he was in shock he didnt realise at that moment), and then that syndrome and resentment grows into hate an that makes him go along with niflheim's plans for his on revenge reasons, thats why he doesnt reply to luna when she inquires into why helping niflheim and is also the reason he wanted the ring for his own, sounds kind of wierd I know but is actually a plausible reason since both the syndrome and resentment towards rescuers have been together in real life in cases of kidnap or wars. I hope that helped to understand Ravus motives
Ravus acted as a complete jerk in this,but in general he is very good character.
I agree with you about Prompto being the most awesome character! Btw, thinking of the anime, the story about how he befriended Noct is so weird. I mean, the fact that Pryna was just in front of his door, how she mysteriously disappeared during the night after staring at him, Gentiana suggesting Lunafreya to write him a letter, in which she asks him to befriend Noct.
When you watch this vid and realize you didn’t really follow every plot detail but low key enjoyed what you were able to follow, exploring the world, and fighting shit with the boys. LOL at promto being chubby originally lol same bro... same
This is a great story, only thing that is ruining it is the whole
"YOU LET NIFELHIEM KILL MY FAMILY AND TAKE MY HOME, SO I AM JOINING NIFELHEIM!!!!"
I think the best way to think about is: We left our protective kingdom to help you out, and you didn't even bring enough guards!
When you think about humanity, rarely do we always make the most sensible decisions. If you put yourself in his shoes here he is kneeling over his dying mother and he knows the only person who can help is Regis and as he goes to call for Regis's help he sees him running away with Noctis and Luna, potentially feeling utter betrayal that Regis would completely ignore and forget Revus and take Luna. Yeah he "should" hate Niflheim cuz they are the ones who actually killed his mother, but he, like other naturally-flawed humans, directs his anger towards the person who could've saved him. He sees the niflheim as his way to get revenge on Regis since they also want to take over Lucis (enemy of my enemy is my friend) and so he chooses to side with them. Yeah thinking about it it doesn't make much sense, it isn't the "logical" choice of hate, but that's what makes him a human being. We don't always make the most logical choices. It is not poor plotine, it's a flaw that makes him a more real character. He's also a male and the eldest sibling, so honestly I think it makes a lot of sense.
D3ath Raz0r Irrational thought ia a fickle thing.
completely agree with chase here, also remember he was a young adult at most when it all went down, nifheim had plenty of time to feed his anger and manipulate him, mold him for there own needs
But what about the general himself who betrayed the kingsglaive, and most of the kingsglaive itself? they all had their homes taken by Nifleheim, so they ally themselves with Nifleheim in revenge, against Lucis. I kinda get where they are going with the blame game but its really silly. It would be like if some gang murdered my family, and I join the gang to fight the police because Im angry that the police didnt stop the gang.
I'm going to miss Nyx, lol. He would be a great main character. Looks like the main cast of the game is pretty good too, though.
I'm still holding out hope he'll show up in XV, he was too good of a character to limit to dying in the movie :(
Chase Williams Agreed
I liked Nyx, but he was a little too "hero-y" for me. I mean he was bad-ass but the whole "I have to be the hero thing" is kinda old. I like how Noct doesn't even look at himself as a hero.. it's not even on his mind. Which gives him tons of room for character development.
Very true, Fang
Jarrod King It would've been so cool if Nyx was 1 of the 3 friends in your squad. Prior to watching the anime I thought Nyx was a younger Glados.
This video is a fantastic summary. Well played!
I'm gonna be honest, I am so lost about everything that was said! But still... CANNOT WAIT TO PLAY THIS!
lol watch the movie prior to playing the game. keep an eye on names. you'll be good to go by Nov. 29
Yeah I think that's a great idea! Is there anywhere I can watch it online?
ahem kissanime.com
Thank you kindly :)
Awesome video! So ready for when this game comes out. Keep up the great work!
I just realized that you're saying power not pyres.
when you're in math class and have no idea what the fuck the teacher is saying... lol
So in the actual game, is the player just going to be dropped into the car-breaking-down-scene and supposed to piece the backstory together?
There may or may not be inclusion of plot from the movie and anime strewn throughout the game. My guess is you'll learn it as Noctis learns it so without the movie or anime you'll have a less detailed knowledge of the backstory. But, regardless, you need to think of this game as being a part of the universe of the movie and anime. They're great. Watch them.
Probably yes, i believe this is an awesome thing to make, separating the game this way i mean, and you can quickly watch the movie and animated series.
Jose T In the new Japanese demo, there is a combat tutorial before then.
Yes
Would be nice if King's Tale could be available from anywhere other than just Gamestop.
Raevis burned because he was not a real dragon. Dragons can't be harmed by fire.
It's true
I knew that i recognised him from somewhere.
This was by far the most well executed explanation of the entire story, not too long, informative and to the point.
King Regis' voice was heard among the old kings, I wouldn't be surprised if Nyx only died as a human and may come back as something else.
It makes sense for Regis' voice to be heard, considering it's the voices of the old kings, the previous kings. Since Regis died he is now a previous king so his voice is added. That wouldn't apply to Nyx though, since he wasn't a Lucii king. Though I do hope he comes back because he was such a good character...
I would say it is possible as he was deemed worthy and could in a sense be considered king if only for the night.
DarkZholt They call him "Young King" lol
Maybe he will not become part of the old kings ,but instead become something else. you know , a powerful Spirit with a mighty sword and a horse. *coughOdinCough* lol
Mermidion
I would prefer if Regis became Odin ... if that's even possible, since he is one of the kings he is one of the Knights of Round so doubling as Odin also may be a little bit much.
I just like the idea that Nyx is Ifrit. The way Ifrit appears sitting just like Nyx was in Kingsglaive while playing with his fire magic.
Really, whichever it is, it will probably be cool.
IMO they used background platforms such as anime and movies to let the audience understand the theme itself, they don’t want to make the same mistake on 13. Where almost everyone did not understood what the hell was fal’cie and l’cies are.
This is how to make a review people not say words wrong not pre-judge, not play a game and rush through it... This is professionally done !!
they never actually showed nyx dying - the kings said his life belongs to them or something like that which doesn't necessarily mean death and the end of kingsglaive is pretty open ended about it so i reckon we'll see him in ffxv cos he was so aweseome - but probably as some kind of slave or something to the kings or something...
That platinum Demo animal look like the Last Guardian's Trico
"you should probably listen to him on that one" lol. Yeah I remember what happened in your last ffXV playthrough video.
Noct's my favourite because he Carries a realistic demeanour.
We don't see Nyx die so I wouldn't assume kingsglaive is the last we've seen of him, I think we'll see him for sure in the game in some form or another.
Wow that was incredible story telling thank you for sharing with us ❤️
Very well explained. It seems like you guys really care about the game.
Prompto is basically an HD version of Zell from FFVIII. No wonder why I like his enthusiasm so much.
Final fantasy xv related to the Flintstones. According to history, a comet hit and wiped out the Dinosaurs. Bahamut was a soldier who was on his way home, while the comet crash. Bahamut was affected by the radiation turning him into a God. Arriving to his house where, he saw the soul of Fred Flintstone. Bahamut collected the soul of his son for years after. Fred was reborn as Noctis Lucis Caelum.
I'm not exaggerating I have waited a decade for this game!!
Story uptil now has the potential of becoming either one of the best or a hot mess.
Hemang Chauhan Lets be optimistic huh?
Zyon Henderson Listen. I've been into hardcore Final Fantasy and Games communities, who are over-pessimistic about things in XV.
And I've been trying to be(and make others) as optimistic as possible, not for myself, not for game to turn out great, or for gamers and communities to be satisfied,.. but for the team behind XV.
If you have followed the development, from the views of the devs, you'll see simply how hard it is. I mean, people are loosing sleep and health and family time, simply for our enjoyment. Some mad respect right here.
Not just that, Square Enix is in dire straits, and has lost quite some money these past few years. This game is their redemption of sorts. All their hopes and dreams bank one it, so you can see why they are going all out on this. I know a lot of people hate "modern" Square Enix, but it makes me shudder imagining a gaming world without them.
My concern with this comment is that, many times, devs(including SE themselves) have lost sight of their narrative when they try to go "all out". Also, they add a lot of Japanese cultural stuff, which many International gamers don't understand and sometimes regard it as negative thing (though that's hardly an issue, SE localizers are quite good).
So, after seeing the situation devs are in, and hardship they had to face from more than 10 years, I am totally not "not optimistic". In fact, I have to be. For them.
Hemang Chauhan Well....shit dude! Making me tear up here, I wasnt even gonna buy it only watch but damn u convinced me! Congrats!
Zyon Henderson Please don't by what I've said. I also believe in judging the game by it's quality.
Wait for it to come out, see if how the reception/reactions to the game are, and then decide to spend your money on it.
Hemang Chauhan I mean duh of course! Why do you think I dont have NO MAN'S SKY? But still tho, this looks like the shit and
I have mad respect for devs wh put put their lives(health,time, and sleep) on the line to satisfy their audience. Look at Titanfall 2 and BF1 for example
so ravus joined nifelheim, who killed his mother ( general glauco to be specific). why don't he take revenge by just killing general glauco in the first place then kill king regis for not protecting his mom...i dont get his logic lol
if you think it that way you are right, it's senseless. but there is a theory around about how things are a lot more deep, and dark. There migh be a super dark secret in the Lucis kindgdom that makes Ravus hate king Regis and his country than just his weird and senseless revenge thirst.
His country is invaded + his mom got killed not long after King Regis stepped foot on his land. Plus he knows about the ring and the forbidden power it has.
jamiel teh well people sometimes support other people that say and do horrible things, just look at Donald Trump's fanbase. ridiculous, but it happens out of stupidity or desperation
From what I read Ravus still is not a big fan of Nifelheim, there just wasn't much he could do abou it. His hatred towards Regis is one of the major themes of Kingsglaive, it's basically why most of the antagonistic characters hate the king.
As Glauca says near the end of the movie "I don't hate those who took what was given, I hate the one who gave it."
So basically he blames Regis for allowing his mother to be killed and for running to protect Noctis instead of helping his own people. Because of that his own mother was murdered and his people enslaved.
Ravus just is using his current status within the Nifelheim army to gain more power to exact revenge on both Lucis and Nifelheim. His entire goal in the movie was to steal the ring during the invasion, that of course didn't work in his favour at all. I don't know how the rest of Nifelheim will take to him knowing that he basically flat out planned to betray them.
B-dan this made a lot of sense to me man
Man this story already is complicated before the damn game even starts. Its story using heavily on the crystals makes me think they never completely scrap the crystal story series that tied it in with FF13.
sparda9060 Crystals have been a major part of FF since the first games
Chokoreetokun
No i'm talking about the time when they said that the 3 FF13 games will be tied to FF15 with the crystal saga story or something. It had a weird name I don't remember.
sparda9060 Oh the Fabula Nova Crystallis, you were talking about that. My bad 🙊
This was originally called Final Fantasy 13 Versus so maybe there is a tie in somewhere.
the only mention of FNC is Etro's potrait in kingsglaive and thats it
Luna is in my opinion, an incredibly important character in this FF game. She's an oracle charged with preventing the Plague Of The Stars or Scourge that the entailing darkness wants to happen. So she's marked for death by these entities. She however, can't completely rid this however. A being crowned by the crystal marked as 'The King of Light' can rid the stars of this unfortunate fate, which is apparently Noctis. Side note; IF Noctis is led from this path... he can also cause it.
Already we've got an important female leading role. She's holding the world together from the darkness while waiting for Noctis to be crowned by the crystal. I like where this game is going, I enjoyed the movie and look forward to experience Square Enix's title that took so long to make. Hopefully it is worth the 70 quid I'm about to pay for the pre-order :')
Straight up five seconds into the video, I start screaming "FIGHT FANTATSIA"
1st time watcher... i like the video.. brought me up to speed on what i should knw before playing the game... your delivery is eloquent & concise and i like ur eyebrows and think that ur cute... its a shame we cant switch characters in the game...
You say power like an old southern war vet, your videos are awesome!
It's sad to see Nyx die. I really like him in the movie and Aoife was right--it was kinda unfair.
There's a theory Nyx comes back as Ifrit in Chapter 0 of the game? I hope not though cuz I don't want him coming back as someone you gotta fight :/
well i surely hope not! that would be a total shamee
I hope we see him in the game, but like a ghost or something... a spirit wandering around, idk. Maybe he even comes back at some point.
Jennica Wijaya well, guess what's fair in FF? Zack is
Negan nageN Wooooooo!
What does it mean around 2:15 that Luna is "Nocte's Fleuree" ?? I saw the movie and was so so confused. Thanks for some clarification.
"Lunafreya Nox Fleuret" is Luna's full name. Thanks for watching!
I'm so happy you called his friend in Kingslaive 'annoying'. Worst character ever and so terribly voice acted. I have a feeling he is going to show up in the game but.
im calling it, ardyn will be like a kefka villain, right hand man of the evil emperor, deceptively subservient at first, but then snags the power from the emperor at the last minute, OR already has power but is hiding it/lost it, and will eventually become a god enemy that has atleast 3 forms.
thank you, the first half on the game makes so much more sense now. that Kingsklaive movie should have been part of the game
Thank you Eurogamer for this summary because I was so lost as to what was going on with this game. I love Final Fantasy and this has the makings to be one of the best.
Thing is everyone will hate Prompto unless they watch his anime and if they watch that then they will love him
As I heard Maximillian Dood say, they are the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and I can't help but see it, too.
Noct=Leonardo
Ignis=Donatello
Gladeolus=Raphael
Prompto=Michelangelo
Excuse the spelling of the names, I'm sure they're not all correct.
The narrator of this video (Aoife, I believe the description says her name is?) is a true professional. Very informative video with great commentary.
Oh my god, can someone at Square give Aoife a job? She did a MUCH better job of explaining FFXV than they've managed to do. Even though I watched Kingsglave, it was pretty poorly told and towards the end I got totally lost. It DID give me some context for FFXV but I didn't even know the Brotherhood anime stuff even existed.
hi eurogamer, hi aiofe o/
\o/
There's no way they could: 1. make Nyx so awesome in KG 2. ot show him actually dying and 3. not have him make some type of appearance in XV. The camera pan out before he "died" confirmed nothing.
Excellent video! Fun, to the point and without spoiling anything from the actual game!
The game just came out free for gamepass on xbox one after watching brotherhood and kingsglaive this was very helpful in straightening some things out thank you.
the one good video for the story leading upto the game. been waiting for this for 5 years lmao
Spot on. And yeah, Prompto is pretty dope.
New viewer here. Great video!
Your name looks familiar, do I know you?
Nothing to see here stranger 👀 lol
Prince Noctis sorry for your dad man
Funny thing is... I still don't understand 😩
SooRandomTV it's ok don't beat yourself up about it, it's just a very complicated subject. It doesn't mean if u can't understand it u can't be a fan of it, so don't feel like u can't cuz u can't understand, believe me I don't understand either, that's how final fantasy just is.
R.E.D Music That comment made me feel better! Thanks so much! I was really pumped for FF15 now I still am Have a great day!
SooRandomTV it's np at all man, happy to help I'm pumped to omg lol but thank u hope u have a good day
Bad guys want crystal that is kept in good guy's house. Bad guys obtained crystal by barging into good guy's house and killed good guy in the process. Good guy's son was out of town on a road trip when son found out good guy father was killed with crystal stolen and family house being repossessed by bad guys. Game starts.
NOTE: A young lady is being teased all the while and hinted to have a special power. No reveal how she fits into the entire storyline yet but assume she will play a major role in the game.
Hansen Tan Haha thank you for a perfect description!
ooo nice. I didn't catch that reference of 'the knights of the round' summon.
Very informative, really appreciate it
Brilliant video! I hope you carry on narrating awesome videos like this :D
New viewer here. Great video! Having only played FF12, I'm left in the dust when it comes to the storyline. I'm skeptical with this one, however, the gameplay looks pretty damn cool. I think I'll check it out.
All of the Final Fantasy games are in standalone universes so you are not missing anything not playing other games in the series
Just a correction, it wasn’t 10 years development it was 3
I absolutely cannot wait for this game to come out. I have the countdown running on my phone!
Also Aoife, you are beyond gorgeous!
U can also say King Regis always knew that the empire will fall because he chose to save his son, not the people by sending him away. This can be seen in the Omen trailer.
It's kind of a shame that the prequel stories are more in depth than the actual main game story. I hope Sqenix sorts that out with the update.
Thank you so for doing this video. It helped catch me up!
also why is there an audi in this magical place?
its so funny how the king ring is just like the vongola sky ring
Thanks for the video. Now I understand the full storyline of the game. Cheers from England
The chancellor is so going to pull off a Kefka.
Currently downloading the game. Its on GamePass. Thank you for this video
That's a hell of a lot to take in. I'm a few hours in on the game (bit late to the party I know) and I'm still fairly confused
Ive just downloaded XV and am playing blind to the series! This video alomg with the brotherhood anime and the film have helped me gain a good understanding of the lore before jumping in! Thank you 😊
hope you enjoy and and take it slow. it’s a great game
this was an awesome summary. I was so confused when I watched the movie. so psyched for thissss!!!
Kingdom of Lucis is Tokio Japan in location. Astral Era happen after the Dinosaurs were wiped out.
Do you think you could explain the ending, and some of the mysteries in FFXV?
A very helpful summary! Thank you very much :D
i played the game and your story doesn't make any sense. the game starts at the car breaking down scene are we supposed to figure out the rest of the story ourselves?
Fantastic Video
THANX EUROGAMER MOST INFO I'VE EVER GOT
Thanks for all of the info, Aoife! I actually feel like I have some sort of idea what I'm getting myself into now, haha.
Super insightful, informative, and clear. Thank you so much =.D
great video, thanks Aoife.
i still don't get it to many names being thrown around like they are nothing makes it hella confusing
Wait. So an economic superpower that still has it's crystal that gives them magical powers, builds a magically technological army and is defeated by nonmagical country? That's like saying that Japan won during WW2 against America, US had the nuke, but Japan still won. This shit makes no sense
Promto. That is such a sweet story
Awesome recap, thanks
I hope there's going to be a follow-up video explaining the whole story now that the game has come out. I was disappointed with the story sorta 3/4th's through, but I'm guessing it's because I didn't understand some story point. Would greatly appreciate a quick review.
I swear to God that I thought Promto wore full black leather pants, I didn't bothered to second look.
As it turns out you can change their outfits in the game to anything. So yeah...
The real question is how much of a creep is Ardyn Izunia? He cares less about personal space than Prompto.
This video was so MOTHAFUCKIN helpful I think I might MUTHAFUCKIN cry cuz you are MUTHAFUCKIN a savior
3:14 - The Colossal Titan. LOL
great breakdown, thank you for posting this
hey aiofe, great work with the video
Why lunafreya is taller in anime but in the movie, she was shorter when captured by Niflheim.
Cyrica it just seems that way. Everyone she stood next to were just massive.
Like Glauca and Nyx.
She is much taller than Noctis though
damn that was good son
This was really useful! Thanks!
Your accent is wonderful. Your face is pretty nice, too.
