Whoever designed Ardyn deserves a medal.Whoever voiced him deserves a fucking Oscar

I actually appreciate that the final boss in this FF instance is a one-on-one sword fight between men, and not some gigantic grotesque monster.

Ardyn reflected every one of the Royal arms with a copy of his own, except for the final one which finished him off, the sword of the father, because he was illegitimate, on his fathers side. God I love that theory

"Ten Years and Nothing to show for it" even Ardyn was waiting a decade for this lmao

Oh someone

Imagine if ardyn had pheonix downs

Though it had some flaws, I thought the ending was executed perfectly. I really like how it's night when you boot up the game on the menu, but once you beat it the peaceful music plays and it's day. One of my favorite games ever now.

Seeing those 4 dead bodies hanging up there really hurt me before fighting.

What some people don’t get about this fight, is that it is easy for a reason, and it’s not like it’s hidden from the plot. Ardyn’s main objective was always to find death at last, to find rest after thousands of years of suffering. This is why it’s always Ardyn who puts Noctis on the right path to his destiny. In a way, it’s funny to think that Ardyn helps the ignorant Noctis through his journey because he knows it’s the only way he will find peace. Thus, Ardyn is not a master of evil like Kefka for example. His aim is to find rest, not to destroy the world. Putting it in the dark is only some kind of training for Noctis. In consequence, the final boss fight being easy makes perfect sense.

"Off my chair, jester. The King sits there."

Am I the only one that disagrees with the theory that the last campfire they have together after the credits is the afterlife?

Don't why some people expected Ardyn to turn into an insane monster after this fight.

“I have lived in darkness for AGES.”

Ardyn managed to squeeze out a full win. He ended the line that started with his brother sitting on the throne. And he died a permanent death leaving behind a world in ruin. But maybe not all hope is entirely lost.

I like how at

I really enjoyed the fight style in FFXV, though the camera could do with some sorting in the other battles. Looks epic as hell. Noctis and Ardyn are awesome af.

Game was so beautiful it had me jaw dropped from the start to final boss

The true final boss opportunity was lost when Noctis has "died" and entered the Crystal afterlife part. I absolutely was so stoked to see him Warp-blade down into the crystal void and I was hoping that meant a final Ardyn confrontation awaited.

The campfire scene still kills me inside. I always cry,no matter how many times I watch it
