Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV

I’m going to go against the grain and say that I actually quite enjoyed watching Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV. My friend James didn’t like it much, as he wrote in this review, and although I can’t fault a lot of the points he brings up, I was dazzled by the visuals. The action sequences are all super exciting to watch, and I loved the warp dagger ability the lead character often uses. Believe it or not, it actually got me even more interested in playing the upcoming game, as I’m now more interested in seeing how the rest of this story unfolds. I’m not saying it’s a fantastic movie, but I sure had a good time with it.
