A King's Tale: Final Fantasy XV is a 2D side-scrolling brawler developed by Empty Clip Studios and released in 2016 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Set three decades before the events of Final Fantasy XV, the game takes place across three distinct locations within that world and presents them through retro-inspired visuals. Combat draws on modern action game sensibilities, combining standard attacks with magic, summons, and companion-specific moves into a fast-paced system. The blend of these elements — melee strikes, elemental abilities, and powerful summon sequences — forms the core of the experience, giving the combat more mechanical depth than its nostalgic aesthetic might initially suggest. The game functions as both a standalone prequel story and a complement to the broader Final Fantasy XV universe.
Restless before bed young Noctis asks his father, King Regis, to tell a fairy tale full of fantasy and adventure instead of just another generic bedtime story. Regis begins with a peaceful day being disrupted when monsters raid the royal capital, Insomnia. Young Regis, joined by Weskham, starts his adventure from the royal capital. Eventually they are joined by friends Cid and Clarus, where they travel to the plains of Duscae only to discover a mysterious cave where their enemy resides. Throughout the tall tale, King Regis and Noctis interject their own commentary, adding depth and perspective to the story itself.
