Synopsis

In an age when gods walk alongside mankind, the world of Eos finds itself falling into darkness. Calamity befalls the human race when malevolent creatures known as "daemons" scourge the land and obliterate armies with seemingly unstoppable brute force. In these dire times, nobles of House Caelum rise to prominence. Owing to their god-given healing powers, which allow them to purge the plague spread by the monsters, they earn the people's trust and allegiance. With no leader to rule the first human kingdom and guide the masses, the gods fervently seek to fill this vacancy—a man of the Caelum bloodline seems to be a desirable choice. The ambitious and charismatic pragmatist, Somnus Lucis Caelum, is pit against his humble and altruistic brother, Ardyn Lucis Caelum, in competition for the throne. As tensions rise between the rivals and anticipations surge, the fate of the world rests upon one of the two's decisive victory. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

This anime is for those who've played and finished Final Fantasy XV's main story and for those who are about to play "Episode Ardyn" DLC. You should watch this anime before playing the DLC. For those who don't know, this anime is about one of the characters from the game "Final Fantasy XV" which is a masterpiece. I highly recommend that you play the game without exposing yourself to any kind of spoilers because the story is a masterpiece that needs to be experienced through the game and through the way that the game takes you on that journey. The music in this short anime is from thegame, which has one of the best music ever made for a game imo. P.S.: My rating for this special anime does not represent my rating for the game.

Final Fantasy XV: Episode Ardyn - Prologue (2019) Honestly considering I have played the game I wish I had seen this before I did that DLC. This was very interesting and greatly helpful to watch. It can give you a greater understanding of what you are going into but it also makes you side with the 'bad guy' a bit to be honest since that was a pretty brutal story. The animation switches from storytelling mode to normal animation which is done nicely and has a very dark tone. If you do not know the lore behind this it can be a bit hard since itis jumping in from the very deep end. The sounds are pretty good and come with nice effects, to be honest. No real depth or vibration but for 13 minutes it was a good listen. You see a lot about the history of things and gives you a real insight, definitely worth watching if you know the world it is attached too or before you finish the game too. 8/10.
