The movie takes place while King Regis's son, Noctis, is on his adventure in the game. Tabata, the mastermind behind Final Fantasy XV, recommends watching the movie first.
A copy of this film on Blu-Ray Disc is included on both Final Fantasy XV Collector's Edition releases.
Although Nyx Ulric was voiced by actor Aaron Paul, Nyx's facial features and likeness were based off of French model Johan Akan.
The movie shows many things from the previous series of Final Fantasy like Diamond Weapon /Daemon,Gills and Behemoth (FFVII), Cerberus (FFVIII), Ultros (FFVI), Crystal of magic (FFI-IX) and legendary spiky creatures Chocobo (mentioned only).
There is a scene in which Nyx passes by a business named "Shot Bar Seven Soldier." This is a reference to Cloud Strife/Zack Fair from Final Fantasy 7, both having ostensibly been members of an elite unit named SOLDIER and the game's protagonists having their original home base in a bar including seven in the name.
