Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV is an upcoming full-length CGI film set during the events of Final Fantasy XV. It was officially revealed during the Uncovered: Final Fantasy XV event. It will be released prior to Final Fantasy XV on Blu-ray and digital formats.

 * Lunafreya Nox Fleuret - Noctis' bethrothed. She is voiced by.

Music
Yoko Shimomura, who composed 80-90% of the soundtrack for Final Fantasy XV, is also contributing Kingsglaive's theme song and overseeing the music for parts that are strongly tied between movie and game. The score for Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV itself is said to be "Shimomura meets Hollywood," according to its director; she composes the pieces before a Hollywood arranger modifies them. There are also other pieces created by John Graham.

Development
During the Uncovered: Final Fantasy XV event, Aaron Paul, the voice actor for Nyx, revealed that the film has been in development for at least three years. A trailer was also released.

As Kingsglaive isn't limited by the performance of a game console Square Enix aims for the highest quality. Originally, they had cast actors for both the film and the game, but due to scheduling and costs Square Enix were unable to use the movie cast for the game. Some of the characters in the movie are modeled after real actors. Specifically, Regis's design was changed because of the film, and that change carried over to the game to continue the immersion from movie to game. Square Enix chose actors based on their performance skills and how they could bring out the different characters.
