Ardyn and his pervent sense of humor...

Classic Ardyn.

Ardyn also buys a Santa claus hat and wears it. Well, I'm playing the PC version so dunno if the santa hat is in other versions XD Now I want Ardyn to start giving presents out at winter time XD

@@SilverHunterN I actually fought Regis with the santa hat, simply just for how hilarious that would look. I really didn't care about the stats boost it would give me.

Ardyn is the devil, he's not Jesus. Only Jesus is Jesus. This game does mock Jesus though but Jesus never would do anything evil like the enemy and he never has done any evil and never will. Jesus whom is the one and only true God and Creator came to earth 2000+ years ago to go to the cross to pay our sin debt in full. His sacrifice was sufficient to pay the penalty for the sins of the world (1 John 2:2). A created being could not pay the infinite penalty required for sin against an infinite God. Only God could pay such an infinite penalty. Only God could take on the sins of the world (2 Corinthians 5:21), die, and be resurrected, proving His victory over sin and death and that true and only God is JESUS! And He did all that because He loves us and wants to save us and have a relationship with us. Jesus is waiting for you to come to Him, He's the only way to Heaven, only He can save us from sin and from hell ( John 14, Romans 6:23, Luke 13:3). He won't cast you away from Himself if you come to Him. He calls us all to repentance, He loves us and wants to save us. believe and have faith in God then the Holy Spirit will come in and lead you to repent of your sins and God will forgive you of your sins and cleanse you by the blood of Jesus and you'll get born again by His Holy Spirit (John 3:3-19).

What could have been.

Ouch

unfortunally 3 years too late and at the wrong point of the game. shouldve been from the start when noctis departed.

Sadly it gets rippled by a rap song

Not even that, if you pay attention is the same area that Emoctis plays with his boyfriends.

The original base game wasted everything and everyone in the game just to make the focus on the stupid bro road trip

the bro trip wasn't a waste... you saw the omen trailer, that's what happens when Noctis travel alone. While they're both chosen kings, the friendship was the one differentiate Noctis from Ardyn, he matured in that trip, they have to emphasize that and bro trip is one of the way to do it.

gianna brown i mean ever other character in the game as well as the lore and story got pushed to the side to focus only the the road trip. While everything els was put in dlc or side material giving us a fractured story that will never be complete because of the other cancelled dlc And Luna WAS the biggest waste of a character in final fantasy history

@@minlow7831 hmm yeah. The way FFXV plot was portrayed was honestly flawed because they went through so many staff changes and story. But saying that Luna is the biggest waste of character is a bit too much, FF has so many female characters like her, no one bats an eye before. The way she was so secretive of everything and making everything so blurry for us in the main game by repeating "it is ordained" over and over was basically explained in Episode Ardyn. Aera made a mistake: she blurted it out to Somnus and causing a huge mess, Luna didn't. She keeps her secret no matter how it broke her heart until everything is done. Because Bahamut will have what he wants, but if she twists it by doing other things in the table, the progress there will be much more painful. Her role is important in the game, but the lack of screen time made her character doesn't show as much, she looks way more determined in Kingsglaive.

Cylus O'Brady sad he became an on rail shooter boss at episode prompto

Damn, I can see it!

Didn’t particularly support the game, but please explain.

After all the DLC it stands to reason that this game is actually pretty good now. For some it's top 5

Would've loved to see the episodes they promised us and maybe one with a perfect ending in which Noctis and Ardyn aren't fodderized for the sake of bringing peace. Would be cool to see more of Regis's past too, fighting alongside Gladio's dad and Cid. I know they made a minigame of it but still.

nawab256 It actually is in my top games. I mean, I understand it had its flaws such as very very very many wasted cool characters (Ravus, Verstael, Luna) but damn did I had a good time and had a blast playing it. Actually if one were to look at other games, every other game has wasted potentials due to time constraints and technology. I mean, for example, Skyrim was supposed to have an active civil war with large cities and it came out a disappointment but its still on my top games. My point here is, there are no perfect games. Every video game has its fair share of flaws and if you enjoyed it even with its flaws, then its a damn good game

How many years did they work on this in the first place? 8? 10? Whole storyline needs to be reworked if ya ask me

Personally they should've just gone with Versus 13 and see how it would've been. I mean we know half the bros die so yeah no need to get attached to any of the characters in the half-cooked unknown companion game of FF13. At least FFXV is memorable for something.

Well I like it despite certain flaws but that's happens when ideas don't get fully fleshed out for versus 13 but overall to me I enjoyed this game alot was just a simple chill experience though I kind of wish the difficulty from duscae was here in XV

Lord doober de la goober Only like 4 years actually since

game IS a masterpiece.sure story has some holles,but nowhere near as many as people cry.ffs most of the players didnt understood the story being told in the pitioss ruins rofl.its hard to connect all of the pieces but GAME WAS A MASTERPIECE

I just bought all the dlc the other day and played the game over again with new game plus and it's truly one of my favorite games. The dlc episodes in between with there non stop story and action really help the pacing of the overall game.

True. It's when you feel that hatred and pain, the anger and frustration at everything in existence and Beyond, that the character finally becomes a "Villain". It hurts, it makes you want to scream along with him, yet you know that he shouldn't be allowed to win.

Funny you should say, Noctis was going to be more of a roguish character in Versus XIII under Nomura's direction. He would still have most of the personality we see in the final game but he would also be somewhat less restrained more willing to do what he thought was needed in a situation, causing the others to have to hold him back before he rushed into dangerous situations.

Yeah now we got that in FF Origins but it sucked aaaasssss

I hate that I have to agree with you.

So, everyone who caused craziness in this story was taking orders from the gods, which puts and odd twist on Ardyn killing Luna.

Finally some sensibility. Yes, Somnus is to blame for Ardyn's descent into monstrosity, even if that too was part of the plan.

@@Luxai I think way forward novel said Bahamut was then going to exterminate humanity to make the world pure again

Noctis has shown to be basically difficult to kill. So I don't know about that couple or more hits thing.

@@100percentNotaBot Even Bahamut seemed to favor Ardyn as the Chosen King of Lucis rather than Somnus.

While allowing Ardyn the chance to get out of his misery and granted a chance to gain his revenge.

Then why would the gods reject Ardyn, I mean Bahamut had to have had at least *_SOME INFLUENCE_* over the others?

@@LuckiSir Only rejected him when Ardyn had the Star Scourge to fully take over his entire being in the Episode Ardyn Prologue animation.

Anyone who says so have a very narrow perspective. He does consider sacrifices necessary though, and let's be real, in this case they were.

Seriously he's a dick.

Yeah War Gods aren't exactly the best of blokes tbh

*Will the the Gods? Pre-ordained? What nonsense! Bahamut is worse than his Brother!*

Bahamut is not all-powerful, I think if he could end the Starscourge without doing what he did to Ardyn and Noctis, he would have did it. It's not that Bahamut is evil, it's just the only way he and the other Astrals found to save the world from the Starscourge.

I quit using the arms once I upgraded the engine blade atw or whatever it was called

Christian White the ultima blade is good for just raw damage, but it’s actually kind of outclassed by the sword of the father for utility and even the orichalcum daggers due to their light damage for enemies that are weak to it later in the game. I’ve gotten the DLC stuff from the FFXIV crossover so I don’t use the orichalcum anymore, but they are still really good daggers.

Mine is Scepter of Pious, perfect for breaking appendages and give drops with just a less amount of self-recoil unlike other powerful Royal Arms.

And the gods being massive dicks for blessing one guy with eternal life, and then making him the sacrifical lamb to rid Eos of the scourge - thus also causing pain, suffering, and death not just to Ardyn, but to everyone and everything Ardyn directly or indirectly affected.

@@TimelessOne123 it was the gods' way to rid the entire planet of the scourge. It was complex and intricate, spanning thousands of years of manipulation, a tragedy. But it did save Eos.

@@rolandaustria7926 They still could have found another way. If they were honest with everyone from the beginning, then due to how pious everyone was back then, Ardyn would have probably gladly sacrifice himself if it meant saving those he loves AND the people of Eos, and Somnus would have honored his sacrifice by immortalizing him as a martyr who saved Eos from the Scourge. But no, the gods had to turn brother against brother, get an innocent killed for NOTHING, turn the TRUE SAVIOUR OF EOS into a vengeful vessel for the Scourge, and then kill countless future innocents just so they could MAYBE save Eos in the future by, again, MANIPULATING A DESCENDANT OF SOMNUS. What if Noctis, in the end, never found the will to become the King of Lucis? Eos would have been completely and utterly fucked in more ways than one. It is a moronic plan on the gods part.

A good plan requires time and he has enough time

victor hoang that’s some real petty shit

Who look like copies

Probably hit deep that she loved Noctis who was basically a clone of Somnus and she was dying anyway thanks to her duty helping Noctis. Some wounds never heal Plus if anything was going to pull Noct into the "get your shit together bitch" role, it was that and Ardyn knew that

Yessss

Perfect lol

Ooooooh damn.

He's Left Hand of God. Same as Gabriel. A fallen.

Nahuel Billiani // great call. Was that the actual sound bite from SOTN?

I totally agree. This dlc gave more backstory to Ardyn than the entire game to Noct. Even till the end it felt like Noct was just going through the motions. Ardyn lost everything. We saw a good man betrayed, go mad and attack a country for vengeance only to find out the gods he faithfully served planned all this. The worst was seeing his beloved stab him repeatedly with such an apathetic look on her face. And all this in two hrs while I still feel nothing for Noct after beating the entire game.

@@Silvamoon I feel for Noctis. Whether anyone cares or not, he actually had all the makings of a decent King, as opposed to Somnus. He was just an unfortunate victim made to play out a script written by Bahamut.

Pretty sure it was supposed to turn out differently but because of Aera's mistake, they had to make Ardyn into a bad guy. Ardyn was supposed to take the throne and became the king of light to save his people. Aera told it to Somnus and Somnus in his envy and greed betrayed his brother. Aera got caught in the crossfire, Ardyn fell and gave way to the darkness. The plan had to change by then.

Aera also wanted him to be happy and cured. It was TOO much for him. And, killing her, I always feel was 2 birds with one stone. Mercy but also the hate he feels for Somnus's lineage personified. As Somnus did the same to him. In all honesty and truth, FFXV seems more about a game on Ardyn than about Noctis. I mean we have Ardyn as a fully fleshed character who starts a hero and turns into an antagonist/villain. But I mean I always felt the gods messed up and they just made Noctis and Ardyn pawns. This is similar to why Lightning and the others get angry at the gods in FFXIII. I just don't like Ardyn suffering for nothing. Like a very literal and mean version of Jesus like figure dying for people's sins in the worst, way imaginable.

It's very satisfying because the whole point of ardyns sacrifice and death is to end the demonic disease which takes root in Ardyn since he absorbed so many of them.

The novel sorts that matter out by going back on the fabla nova crystallis like storytelling. Those are the type 0 games and FFXIII. Kinda sad that it was removed from it and changed story story because of China but a least it got some aspects of it back.

@@astrealbrizbee9815 Im just upset on how the royal guard could just shoot on sight. Guy has been in solitary for over 2 millennia and no one wants to talk to him, not only that hes not a threat untill you make him one.

Totally agreed here hes trated like shit and i like him for it wish he won

@@saltymedpac3943 To be fair, Noctis got fucked over by the god to, technically the whole Lucis family blood line did. If any thing, blame the gods. Noctis was born go basically give his life to undo everything Ardyn did. He was born to give his life to bring the light back into the world and Ardyn was born to plunge the world into darkness and then be slain by Noctis. Noctis had to do the job that will end the Lucis family blood line, who were only formed just to do what the gods tell them to. Really shows you how just like in real life, how little control you have over your life in the face of a god. The gods essentially played chess with these people and they were basically like "Eh...Deal with it".

Lool noooo

Is not, the path that gods give to him was spread Darkness around the world until the true king (Noctis) born, that's why Ardyn was given the blessing of immortality... to live until that day comes.

kacangbumbu987 Ardyn was refused by the crystal because he absorbed the star-scourge. he wasn’t healing anyone, he was simply absorbing it into himself. He wasn’t the true king of anything but daemons and the star scourge from the beginning. The true king of light was always noctis. The astrals were asleep after the astral war before Ardyn was even born. They only returned for Lunafreya asking them to help Noctis because Ardyn was never the true king nor was Somnus, it was Noctis like they clearly say over and over again.

@kacangbumbu987 pretty much just with a much darker much more masure story. Theyre both the chosen ones they both have god level power i think noctis was gonna be immortal aswell just like ardyn due to being the chosen king but he had to sacrifice himself in order to defeat ardyn or was tricked by bahamut to sacrifice himself and kill 2 birds with one stone so he can step and take over eos well find out soon

Vinicius Alexandre Targino Nunes Well with all the crap he's dealt with for 2000 years, he's gotta treat himself somehow.
