In case you missed the announcement, the Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV film opens today, August 17, 2016, in select SM Cinemas. If you don't have time to watch the whole film in these next few days, you can enjoy watching the first several minutes of the movie in the meantime.

The prologue, narrated by Princess Luna (Lena Headey), shows the history of the war between the magical kingdom of Lucis and the technologically advanced empire of Niflheim. Lucis is home to the sacred Crystal, and Niflheim, hungry for power, is out to claim it. Here, we already get a glimpse of young Prince Noctis with his father, King Regis (Sean Bean).

The beginning also introduces the viewers to the elite military unit Kingsglaive. Watch Nyx (Aaron Paul) and fellow soldiers defend Lucis from the onslaught of the Niflheim empire.

Well, enough of all this babbling from me. Let's view the first 12-minute footage of Kinsglaive: Final Fantasy XV below.
