Patch Version:  -- 1.10

Final Fantasy 15 begins with its story’s title:   The Tale of the Chosen King’ Saviour to the Star.  It then cuts to a fiery battle between four individuals against some nonchalant god-like creature who sits upon his a-flame throne as if bored with life.

However, it lingers in this moment for only a little before it switches backwards in time.  This cutscene showing us a rather estranged goodbye between a father and his son; the king and his prince.  The Prince, the character you will be controlling: Prince Noctis. 

The moment between them is very formal.  Tense and awkward.   The Prince's destination: Altissia, the capital of Accordo, where he will formalise the union of the states through his marriage to Lady Lunafreya of the imperial province of Tenebrae.

From there, the game cuts to our heroes who have broken down in their car and pushing it along the road; albeit begrudgingly.  The banter, the music, the cutscenes, the world… everything feeling very polished and beautiful.  This is definitely a Final Fantasy game!
