| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Man this expanded universe stuff Square is doing with FFXV is amazing. We're getting an anime, a CGI movie, and the main game. The anime is off to an impressive start. Got to see a bit into Noctis' past and see how he lost people to that lamia creature, then a bit of the roadtripping with his three friends (I heard Natsu's Japanese VA!), and then the last confrontation between robotic soldiers and once again the lamia. Can't wait to see what the next 4 episodes are like, too bad they're only 10 minutes each. At least it makes the wait for the game easier. |

| Its Final Fantasy, What else i should say! But the episode was short to me. i wish it was 20 mins+ Liking the Art and the fighting. Can't wait for ep.2 |
| The animation could have been better but so far I love it.... The dynamic of the group is on point and the action scenes were great (Especially the ones from Noctis' by himself ) Looking forward to seeing more |
| The music was top notch! Also I like the blonde haired dude. He likes coffee. |
| This ONA gets me hyped for the game! Nice to know more about this universe. FFXV better come out in September! 4/5 |
 |
| First episode was actually pretty good. Should be a nice little intro into the game. |
| Not bad at all for a first episode. I really enjoyed the fight scene and damn it that cliffhanger, but I gotta say the real deal was with the burgers. |
| Wow... really cant wait to see how the game turn out to be... Maybe FFXV has the deepest plot in the franchise. (or not). And the boss was kinda remind me of marilis from FFIX Whatever, it's really surprising me about how the game marketing is. Without sacrifices you can't make something good, hmm..... Samhiuy said: Look at the trailer for the Ace Attorney anime and you can see just how disinterested A-1 is when it comes to video games. They only care about Light Novels... Seriously, Square Enix made a huge mistake choosing that dumb studio for this. I don't think SE is interested in anime adaptation too... mostly game based anime are disappointing. |

| Damn that was pretty cool but noctis looks way more sexy in the game |
 |
| Combat looks great, the 'theme' more so than the animation. Cant wait till the game this September. |
 |
| This was surprisingly fun. I wasn't interested in the game but now this has me looking forward to more. |
| "My tables-meet it is I set it down That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain." |
| technology vs magic im not familiar much about Final Fantasy because i do not play any games of it but Noctis looks like Gilgamesh from Fate series with all those weapons |
| So this is where Sasuke ends after he left Konoha The adaptation was top notch for me. The action bit was cool. And seeing Marilith animated, sent shivers down my spine...oh, the old FF era...totally miss it. What can I say...I decided way before this ONA appeared that I will buy the game, as I'm a FF nerd. If all of the ONAs are like this one, it will be a 10/10 for me. |

Now I do. Cannot be unseen. |
| I'd say this feels very Final Fantasy-esk to me, I've played pretty much all games in the series, and I'm really looking forward to this game as well, and this anime really help building a good foundation of the story. |
 |
| I wasn't expecting for Noctis to be picky with the food. Well, it's good to kill time until the main game. At least now we know how is mother died (I'm guessing that woman was his mother). And that the marriage thing is still on going. I don't remember a word about that since they changed the main female character.

| Pretty good! The animation quality isn't half-bad. Dat soundrack, on the other hand... :D DEM BURGERS. |
Aiko_Hiroshi said: Can't wait to see what the next 4 episodes are like, too bad they're only 10 minutes each. At least it makes the wait for the game easier. I know right? I thought it will have 24 minutes long episode since there are only 5 total episodes but well.... better than nothing. |
| Eh, they looks so english that japanese voice-acting doesn't suit them, lol. Well, Noctis is more expressive than I thought. I'm having trouble getting used to Suzuki Tatsuhisa's voice as him. That was some nice action, I liked the camera angles. That was more fun than I expected. That monster reminded me of Tomb Raider, there was this weird boss in it. Was it hard to beat.. |
 |
| lol... never thought they will make FF XV to anime... Sasuke... is that you?? that burger scene... haha the animation is not bad, the fighting scene looks cool waiting for next episode... |

| Am I the only one who found this first episode to just be... Meh? I wasn't super impressed or entertained watching it. I'd give it a 5/10. |
| Well, that was bad. From the rapid fire expostion (There was a war,we lost. The end), over the boring characters and doing boring to the shitty to fight scene where most enemies weren't even fighting back. A few sconds earlier they werealso talking about how these enemies are suppsoed to be a big deal, but then they just attack them head on. Dropped. |

Good job dropping something that is only 5 mini episodes long and is a prequel to a much larger game world. Not everything will be explained in this series because its supposed to be watched before going into Final Fantasy XV. It's not supposed to be a stand alone watch, it's part of a larger expanded universe. |

Kiki04 said: Is it really good? I really haven't been sure about it since they continued to make so many changes to it when I really liked it when Stella was still there. Would you also recommend the game as well? There's a possibility I might get a PS4 but I still need to get my PS3 fixed. I've seen a lot of people are heading towards the PS4 now and are having problems with their PS3. The game is looking to be amazing. I've played both Episode Duscae and the Platinum demo and all the changes they've done have been for the better. Combat flows so well and is addicting, the characters are interesting and they drive the story, and finally the world is enormous and fun to explore. It's pretty much going to be the biggest Final Fantasy game since FFVII and Square is promoting with this expanded universe knowing that. If you want to know my thoughts on the anime so far, just look above lol. |
|
| This was a good first episode, getting us into the plot and the characters. I guess the point is to get us excited for the game, and it's succeeding so far with me. |
| It's nothing too special (yet?), but still.... HYPE. The action was great and I'm already liking the group dynamic. Love all this expanded content they're investing into the game. I don't have a PS4 (yet?????) so I didn't get to play the demos. But I've spent near half my life waiting on this bloody game so I'm definitely finding the means to get a PS4 by this September. |

| I'm happy with what I watched, I mean people have to understand this is an extra for the game in the final stages, and lets be honest this is better than just a couple of extra trailers. The fans that have been waiting for 10 or so years see this as an apology for the wait, and it sure seems like a great way to apologize if you ask me. Now I wonder what they'll do for To aru majutsu no index III, probably nothing... |
 |
| My main issue here are the characters, they are all just stereotypes. I didn't like their interactions. The hamburger scene was silly. |

| The best thing is that there are already reviews for this series. How can people write a review for something that had just started? If you read a book or play a game you can rate it after 3 pages or 15 minutes of playing? MAL reviews are really hilarious. The hamburger scene was nice in showing relations between the characters. The same goes for the scene in the night. Animation was good, I'm waiting for the next episodes and for the game. |

If you want to share your first impressions you can always write about them in the discussion topics. |
| Usually yes, but this topic has something weird that slows down my PC. |

| Via a quick copy-paste, but my flash crashed 3 times trying to read the whole topic xD. Returning to the topic, if "MAL" does not want that first impressions are published should just block the "review" button until the series ends. However a full review always has more value. Last reply in this topic because... crashed again... |

| Well, that was fairly decent. Not bad. The action was pretty good. So far, so good. |
