| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ahh <3 can't wait for the game |
| Actually liked this more than the first ep! Really can't wait for the game, I'm alreafy getting attached to the characters.. |
Raz1515 said: Actually liked this more than the first ep! Really can't wait for the game, I'm alreafy getting attached to the characters.. Yeah, I totally agree with you :) |
| The moment I saw the fat kid I knew it was Prompto. I liked his backstory on how he strove to be skinny to be friends with Noctis. Nice character development. |
| First episode: They eat some food in a diner. Second episode: Fat kid meets dog then gets skinny. quality |
| After you play the demo with Noctis as a kid, the setting in this episode just doesn't feel right. way too Japan-ey and not fantasy enough. None the less, nice to see some backstory. |
| so... Prompto was a fat kid back then... such good backstory... but the way he sniffed the letter somehow looks like a pervert... lol |
 |
| prompto becomes /fit/ Paul said: to be fair the demo takes place in altissa with only the last boss fight area being where this episode took place, if you look over the gate in that area the place just looks like japanAfter you play the demo with Noctis as a kid, the setting in this episode just doesn't feel right. way too Japan-ey and not fantasy enough. None the less, nice to see some backstory. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Finally they back episodes. We see the past of the characters, I like the series, and is short. |
| Ahh that was a cute episode. Really liking Prompto even more. Prompto becoming friends with Noctis was simple but nice. |
| Really nice episode, Watching Prompto getting fit in order to become friends with Noctis was great. That letter sniffing though XD Please Square Enix, Release this on PC. I don't want to watch this for nothing :( |
 |
| Oh my god, Prompto is so innocent, so pure. Never let him get hurt, please. |
 |
| Prompto was motivated to get fit because of her crush to the girl that he did not even see the face lol |
| Hm... being fat = being unworthy of friendship? or did I misunderstand and is it even worth: becoming friend with Noctis is only a way to come near a girl? The episode was a lot more interesting than the first. The idea of 15mn game characters introductions to wait for the said game (wich is not my case) is nice. On the other hand, the world looks a lot less appealing now thanks to those typically japanese high-schools and towns. 3/5 |

| It was nice to Prompto's backstory on how he came to know and become friends with Noctis. I didn't expect the typical Japanese settings and environments, but I wonder what the surrounding wall is for. (I got Attack on Titan/Shingeki no Kyojin/Other Works vibes.) Lunafreya's castle (?) was super extravagant. My guess is the remaining three episodes will focus on Gladiolus, Ignis, and Noctis in that order (unless Noctis' episode was the first episode or portrayed in the actual game). |
 "to the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world." -a magnet |
| Of course suburban Insomnia looks just like Japan. |
| That was great! Really liked the episode. The backstory wasn't boring at all, if you ask me - very relatable even. One more ticket to the hypetrain, please. |
| I really enjoyed the little story! |

bastek66 said: What do you expect for ONA-commercial? Well I'd rather have them put the same effort and money into something more fun to watch. A simple one minute animation showing off a cool game feature would be more interesting. |
| Prompto's Slim Fast Program: 1. Encounter a royal dog 2. Befriend cold school prince 3. Run while saying "konnichiwa" to everyone you pass by. Results may be visible around high school. It's like watching a Final Fantasy game being forced to fit a Japanese high school story mold with western-looking characters. |
| 臭い- |
| >loses years of friendship because doesn't look like a boy's band member what an unhealthy way of thinking |

| o 3 o Omg the doggy is so cute..hehe. So how did Chibi/Pryna escape? I enjoyed watching this episode because one doesn't typically see a rotund character in an anime (especially an episode of them trying to lose weight). |
 |
| Prompto's backstory was nice. Surprised he used to be fat. |
| Years ago Final Fantasy was literally best game series among any game of any genre on any platform. And now it's just set of yaoi cliche and shameful rip-offs. |
 |
| It was a good episode, much better than the first one. This whole mini-series bring back a lot of memories from the past, when I was waiting for the actual Final Fantasy episode to be released. However, it is the first time when we can actually get some backstory on them. I already hyped for the game, and Brotherhood just raised my hype to the sky, lol. |
| this makes me want the game more and i want to own this anime plus im falling more in love with the characters |
| It's a shame that none of this will be in the game. |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| Loved the backstory. But damn, the difference between present Prompto and past Prompto is as clear as day, lol. |
  |
| I really thought that this would be a continuation of the first episodes, what happened to that? Anyway, it was good to see a bit of the backstory of the characters before the game comes out. Rei366 said: Hm... being fat = being unworthy of friendship? or did I misunderstand and is it even worth: becoming friend with Noctis is only a way to come near a girl? Thing is, when Prompto fell down and Noctis pulled him up, Prompto noticed that Noctis had some little difficulty because he was heavy. So he kinda decided on himself that to support Noctis, just like Luna had asked on the letter (because she assumed that they were friends, since they belong to the same class, because she searched for information about him to thank him for helping her dog), anyway, he decided that he needed to exercise to be more agile and stuff to help the king. And with that, he only decided to introduce himself to Noctis, and become his friends after his goal was completed. And he also got a crush on Luna apparently. |
| > We get a cliffhanger last chapter... Nothing related to it in the second > Fat boy suddenly becomes willingly to lose weight just because the prince said he was heavy (I was hoping for other kids to make fun of him or someone to cause him a trauma since this is from a game which was supposed to be dark.......) > I really doubt that a prince would study in a regular school... > No bodyguards for Noctis... > The owner of the dog was Luna. > Luna's dog could run away since she isn't a important person, there weren't any guards that could catch the dog. > Where are Prompto's parents? > Luna discovers Prompto and sends him a letter 2fast4me > "Oh lets stop to save a injuried dog. I bet the Empire's army will give us a break" > Luna looks 2old4Noctis > How old was the british guy when he started driving for Noctis? 14? I really hope the game's story isn't as silly and dumb as this........ |

| Cool Prompto flashbacks. And focusing in The past for build The Main squad perfil. Is good hang out for The game. |
 |
| I loved this episode a lot more than the first because it revealed more about these character's backstories, which is more of the point of a having a prequel. Seeing how Prompto and Noct became friends was interesting/important, especially given how their personalities are complete polar opposites. Normally this would seem like filler, but it actually revealed a lot more about the characters in the game so far than the first episode did. I really love the fact that Prompto was a heavy kid. As animators, any time we can successfully subvert tropes without alienating anyone or confusing our audience automatically makes the character a little bit more interesting. Prompto's a bit of a pretty boy so seeing him in that situation and able to pull himself out of it was kind of humbling, although I'm not sure how I feel about him becoming healthier to be friends with another kid to impress a girl. That seems like we're sending an uh… interesting message. Luckily, they did that sort of painful-looking backslap thing wherein Noct remarks that he already knew Prompto so that it shows that he isn't a total dick, right? This was really funny and entertaining to watch. It's a little sad that the show is only 5 episodes long and 10-15ish minutes each because it feels like it ends so soon but given the nature of how this particular episode went (which was basically a cute little slice of life episode) I really did enjoy it because I felt it added more to the characters. Also gotta love seeing young Ignis! Would be great to see a younger Gladio. |
| Good episode. Caught it the other day. Really good way to build the characters for the game. Not just Prompto in this but Noctis too. He totally got disappointed when Prompto wasn't there that time watching him. Bit pervy but whatever. Is it confirmed this won't be in the game? Or are they going to have it as a main screen option to watch.. New Game Load Game Credits Brotherhood: Final Fantasy XV Kingsglaive Okay well maybe not the last one but I can see them putting Brotherhood on the game for people to view unless already confirmed as not present on the disc. |
| i liked this episode! really can't wait for the game! |
| OK episode, the dogs were cute |
 |
| This was a surprising good episode. I like Prompto's character, the prince already thought they were friends saying I know you lol |
