Anastasia 6,093 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I know you can play any FF game at any time, but are there any backstories I should know about? The only FF game I have played is Crystal Chronicles, but idk if that counts lol. I have never been interested in the series for some reason, until I watched the trailers for XV, I think it looks beautiful and the type of game I would spend a lot of time on. I am interested in previous games in the series, but all I have is an Xbox 360, Xbox One, and a not so great laptop. Is there anyone else pre-ordering this game out of excitement? I played the platinum demo and it took my breath away, I can't way to play the full game. This topic is all over the place, but I am just excited for the game and want to talk to other players and fans about it FATWIFE, First Lady Of GGD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
imwoahvicky 4,248 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Fabula_Nova_Crystallis:_Final_Fantasy read up on this. (edit: doesn't relate i believe to the other games, they're all standalone) it's apart of the Fabula Nova Crystallis series, which is a series of certain FF games (such as FFXIII) and upcoming ones and FFXV is apart of Fabula Nova Crystallis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabula_Nova_Crystallis_Final_Fantasy sorry if im wrong ⚜ Roll Deep ⚜ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
President Trump 3,508 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 All of the games are standalone, except for the few direct sequels, so you don't need to know anything about the other games. Ma ma pa pa pa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuchulainn 3,040 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 You should at least watch the brotherhood anime that came out for this game. It's a series of five short episodes that gives you a backstory of the main characters. There is also a movie called Kingsglaive that I've yet to watch. None of the other final fantasies will be related in any way to this one (although I believe this one and FF13 were originally based in the same universe as part of the fabula nova crystallis series of FF games) so you will be able to just pick up and enjoy the game.

imwoahvicky 4,248 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Relating back to what I posted: 'While featuring various worlds and different characters, each Fabula Nova Crystallis game is ultimately based on and expands upon a common mythos focusing on important crystals tied to deities.' Hope this helps you a little bit ⚜ Roll Deep ⚜ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeka 12,372 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 FFXV used to be a part of the FNC project, however it has become its own game. The only thing to know that kind of connects XV to other Final Fantasies is Crystals. I suggest watching the Kingsglaive movie and Brotherhood anime. kingsglaive covers what happens just before the main story of FFXV starts. It explains the main plot, and kind of explores Luna and her destiny and her ties to Noctis. Brotherhood goes through how the main four are connected. PROMPTO IS MY BABY. HE MAKES ME CRY. I HAVE FEELS. Also I think the main reason why FFXV is so appealing to outside fans is the fact it's very western rpg influences. Feel free to ask me anything about Final fantasy.

Back when it was VS13 it was, but while a few obvious elements are still present, it no longer contains the same mythos. While Final fantasy Type-0 (and it's presumed sequel/prequel) are a part of the FNC, FFXV has separated itself from the series. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
