That ending when Luna becomes the logo and the logo changes to be both of them gets me everytime. What a structurally messy yet beautiful story.

Noctis was Sasuke at 20s. Now he's Keanu Reeves in his 30s

Regis standing to the side, unable to watch as his son sacrifices himself is so gd heartbreaking.

You know the best part of all? This is literally Noct’s Final Fantasy.

When Noctis ask his father to trust him, I like to think that it not that Regis didn't trust in Noctis but he wanted to defy Noctis's destiny more than anyone. It could also be the reason why he tried to make peace with the empire even if he knew it would fail. He tried his best to protect Noctis as a father would to protect his son.

That campfire scene... was more than I can take.

"Off my chair, Jester. The King sits there." Badass.

This scene was sad, but I didn't cry until the credits rolled and you could see all the pictures that Prompto took throughout the game. That's what got me.

The final boss was when I reeled in that 240 pound fish. It took me 10 minutes and my line was already at about 60%

I love when the logo changed!

Say what you will about this game, this ending made me appreciate all my friends that are still with me. Such a tear jerker lol

If you look closely, you can see Ardyn isn't even trying to fight. He truly did want to die.

"Off my chair jester, the king sits there", I love this line, gives me a medieval king arthur vibe.

Jokes on us, this is all just a big advertisement for those Coleman campfire chairs.

Oh, Now I understand why Ardyn lost. He forgot to buy hi-potions

I’ve never sobbed so hard at a game ever. FFXV is flawed but you grow to love these boys and it was so emotionally devastating to watch that final scene.

To anyone asking. The bros didn't die, the campfire scene is actually a flashback to a previous campfire which wasn't explained until, as you can see, the ending itself. Luna and Noctis ARE dead, the ending is symbolic as you can see from the logo, they both go to their peaceful slumber, you can't even say it's afterlife it's just a symbolic way to explain they are forever in death (ofcourse, you could say they ARE going to be together in afterlife, but that's not the point of the scene). Noctis sacrificed himself to end the lucis line, save the world and end the deaths of other people, as it suggested many times along the game, so many people die for noctis, now it's his turn to die for the sake of Others. Ofcourse, this is my now favorite ending in the series without question. Thank you Tabata.

ardyn's voice actor deserves a fucking award oml i haven't heard an in-game villain voiced that well in ages

I love what happens at 11:40. Ardyn, having lost to Noctis, is finally able to voice his greatest and most deeply hidden fear - that even THIS doesn't mean the gods are done with him yet and there's still more torture in store for him. And Noctis, bless him, understands and forgives Ardyn. "This time... you can rest in peace." Reassurance for a traumatized soul that's suffered so much. Noctis became a good king, able to offer his hand in empathy even to the most broken and downtrodden of the Lucians.

I loved Ardyn. He was a victim and honestly, can’t blame him for the grudge against his family. At least now he can Rest In Peace.

Noctis means Night in Latin so when he dies it also ends the eternal night. The symbolism is so great.

Ending is not complicated. Noctis sacrificed himself to defeat the demon in the afterlife and in the afterlife he became king and married Luna. The end lol

In my 22 years of gaming, still one of the only games that got more than just a subtle teardrop out of me. I was thoroughly invested, and these moments sparked some of the most emotional feelings I've ever felt from a game. And I'm not one to get overly emotional, especially toward a game. I loved the journey, and was left with a bittersweet ending.

The scene with Noctis and Lunafreya sitting on the throne with the ORIGINAL Final Fantasy theme playing and the title “Final Fantasy XV” cane up made me cry more than the campfire scene

I've waited 10 years to see everybody die, that was great👍🏻 Thanks Square Enix

Those stairs are the real boss here...

As much as I absolutely love Ardyn... “Off my chair, Jester. The King sits there.” One of the most badass lines in FF history hands fucking down.

I loved this ending. The game may have been troubled at launch, but the 4 brothers kept me playing.

That 15:45 transition when Regis appears and does not/cannot face his son and when the music starts playing is - in my opinion - the single most moving scene in the game (granted there were a lot). I can't imagine Regis raising his son up KNOWING he was to die, and by him too. Noctis is a tragic character but Regis is very much as well.

"It's finally over..." Noctis.. Damn, I've never been attached to four characters in my life.. I love these guys..

From Sasuke to John Wick, epic nevertheless

when john wick tells you get off his throne.... you get off

I really love the part when Regis hesitate to kill his son. How he didnt want Noctis fate ended like him but in the end he knows he had to do it. As Noctis asked his father to trust him and slowly try to look at his father and he quickly killed Noctis. He knows if he hesitated he dont have the will to kill him. That some fatherly love there.

Ending absolutely killed me. It was good though. It definitely left me shook more than most any other game I've played.

We all know, that if you did not choose the group photo to take with you to the end. You are a monster.

19:33 the music building, the extreme pain of the royal arms coming out, Somnus catching his blade out front, Regis floating highest in the back left. Bad 👏 ass!

I loved and hated this ending. It was a big shocker and I didn't want it to end the way it did after that great journey. But after watching it a couple times, it's very fitting for the story and a great ending at that. What an amazing game.

I finished this game few hours ago and damn. It's been a while since I cried this much. After that I started thinking about how my time will come and how my goodbye will look like. This game is gold I swear.

This is Japan’s version of a happy ending, dying honorable. Ignis’s story gives an alternate ending that basically wipes out all the death and makes us Americans happier

*”Tonight, the dreams of the blood royal..comes to an end, in Scala ad caelum!”*

he said the same thing as his dad "walk tall, my son"...."walk tall, my friends"

It's been months since I finished this game and I'm still fucked up, it's almost as bad as a breakup

I was crying throughout the ending, but when they showed the throne room decorated for the wedding, and then Luna in the wedding gown, THEN THEY BOTH TURNED INTO THE LOGO??? I was inconsolable. Such a beautiful game. I've had it since release, And I've just never been able to stick with it. But I'm so glad I stuck with it this time.

I was devastated for 3 days after beating this.

A story of a boy.. who turned into a man... and sacrificed his own life for his people and the world.......Noctis is one of the most manliest ff protagonists and one of the deeper characters.. RIP KING OF KINGS

Was there even a world left to save? Ardyn had a decade of free roam and seemingly destroyed the world. 10 years without sun and almost everyone else should've died of starvation.

the build up in the soundtrack at 18:50 onwards always gets me, I love how much importance it adds to the scene. beautiful game with a beautiful soundtrack. Confusing at times, but none the less it was a very enjoyable game. This one holds a special place with me, alongside FF7/8 and 10/10-2 :D

For what I’m used to in a Final Fantasy, this game may not have checked all the boxes, but the ending sequence was something it nailed. Made it worth the experience!

Why does Final Fantasy have such a damn phobia of happy endings?

God, the first FF that ends in a total tragedy. I love how Luna and Noctis closed their eyes in the final scene. One of the best and most underrated FF. It has become the most favourite one to me. Its themes are so mature and relatable.

just finished this game (I know I’m late) and wow. Such a wonderful experience. Never have I played a game where I grew so attached to the four protagonists. I waited every day to sit in my couch at evening to play and laugh, cry and joy with them. This ending made me cry, and I’m happy I did because games lately started to bore me, but this captured me. Such a fantastic journey, love this game.

This scene has much more impact now that we got episode Ardyn. They all were pawns all along...

i chose the nissin cup noodle picture for the ending

The final scene in the throne room at 15:00 has to be my favourite in the game. The music, the flashbacks, coming full circle to where things began... everything is perfect. There's so much emotional subtlety to this scene. I love how Noct and his father never make eye contact, almost as though it's too difficult for Regis to bear witnessing the fate of his son. When Regis takes up his sword at 17:30 to make the final strike, Noctis is looking at the floor. Regis hesitates unable to deliver this final blow... Then just as Noctis starts looking up, Regis strikes, almost as though seeing his son's face and making eye contact would be too much to bear and he would not be able to fulfill his destiny and make that final strike. FF Forever!

I played and finished the game on 2016. And after 6 years, i played it again with all the dlcs, updates, corrections, additions, etc. Still what a blast! Even had more fun! and man oh man…. the ending still left me broken. Damn it Mr. Tabata!!! Now only left is to read the book “Dawn of the future.” (Already on delivery). Can’t wait!!!

Man, seeing Noctis do the "SITTING POSE" on his throne gave me goosebumps; albeit in a lighter setting, it will always be his iconic pose from VERSUS to XV for me. 😭

The game may have it's flaws, but i like something that is new from this FF: 1. It's not turn based. A fresh start, although someone may disagree. 2. The Final Fantasy Logo changes Ingame (after you completed it) 3. The MAIN protagonist dies (Tidus is not count since he's back, Squall's condition was a cliffhanger) What i really wish in NG+: 1. Play as Young King Regis. 2. Noctis in an Phantom (Astral? KOTR?) Knights armor.

A wonderful detail: Somnus starts playing when you start the final mission, but with lyrics. I was in denial that Noct will die, but the song started and I heard the word: tragoedia... I just felt it - This isn't gonna end well at all. I went through the mission feeling on edge with utter despair looming over me. What a wonderful last chapter. Probably the best ever.

“Walk tall my son.” Said a father who knew what was going to become him, to his son who didn’t know a thing and may have been just a bit bratty but still loved his father even thought they both knew he wasn’t ready to ascend to the throne yet. Was powerful even though it was the beginning of the game. “Walk tall...my friends” Said the son of the now late king who was finally ready to take his rightful place as the king of kings and banish away the darkness and evil from the world. Even though he sacrificed himself, he knew he was ready for it. Very powerful. King Noctis was a true hero.

Many people complain that Luna and Noctis aren't together during the whole game, but I think that's what make Luna's death and the final scene more meaningful and impactful. The fact that they don't get together until the after life is tragic, and... At the same time kind of beautiful. I don't think I would get so emotional with the final scene if they would have gotten together during the game...

I love how the English version is « you guys are the best » while the french version can be translated as « after all, you guys are like my brothers ». Both of these lines are different but shine in their own way.

Luna is wearing the hair piece Crowe planned on giving her in Kingsglaive!

The campfire scene is by far the broest of bro moments. Bro...

Say what you want. Ardyn is a king. Gave you a run for your money. Well played brotha, I thought I was the only one who understood this storyline. Great gameplay😢 "Let the games...begin"

If there’s one thing that comforts me about Noctis’ death is that he died a man. Died a King. He may have been fated to die, but when his time drew near he faced it head on. He Walked Tall ... all the way to the very end. Long Live the name Noctis Lucis Caelum

I Laughed so hard in the final cutscene because i chose Cindy’s picture

Ardyn simply one of the best villains of all time

13 old kings. 1 king father. 1 king of king. 15 kings of FFXV. The circle has completed. So beautiful. /TEARS

The moment you realize the last king that struck noctis was his father... wow..

The rest of the bros didn't die... They survived the attack of all those daemons in Gralea, and they weren't even in their prime. Ten years later they're absolute bosses, and badass Ignis is back. Of course they could handle a couple of daemons while Noctis was fighting Ardyn. They're the ones who will rebuild the world.

What's more heartbreaking than Versus XIII? This ending. #DefendFFXV

Yoko Shimomura’s score in this game is so powerful and emotional! Easily one of the best scores I’ve had the pleasure of listening to! Just Bravo 👏

im 24 years old , male, I must say this games ending got me fucking emotional, you formed a bond with your 3 friends, pretty much became brothers and in the last campfire scene, gah damn....right in the fucking heart. FF15 is and always will be a masterpiece.

Most men won't admit this... but we **ALL** cried during this ending.

OH MY GOD. I'm just now realizing that Noctis summoning the kings to deal the final strike to Ardyn is his Knights of The Round! Wow!

It’s funny how the character the logo was originally based on no longer exists in the final version, I can just imagine the devs sat in a room brainstorming what to make the logo relate to

That was the saddest Knights of the Round I've ever seen.

Till this day. Still my favourite game EVER, I somehow can't forget about their friendship and other stuff, till this day....I want them to make a part 2

"Kings of Lucis...COME TO ME!!" that was the *best* part of this ending. The way Noct died with courage was awesome!

i cried like hell during this!! and when the song comes up and shows you all the pics youve taken though the game i lost it 😢😭😭😭 awsome song awsome game

I don't get all the hate for this ending. I thought it was a great ending. In fact, the best ending in a FF game for a very long time. It makes the ending even better if you're able to read between the lines. Regis and Luna knew from the get-go what Noctis's true fate was; to give up his life to save the world and rid the world of daemons for good. This is why Regis was always so solemn about Noctis's duty and didn't want him to bear that burden. But, it being Noctis's fate, he had no choice. And, when you think about it, Noctis wasn't being groomed to be king; he was being groomed to die. This knowledge also makes the whole brotrip thing hit even harder as we see the four friends bond and grow as the story goes on, without them having any knowledge of their journey's true purpose. I also believe there's a lesson to be learned from when you get to pick *one* picture to take with you before you enter the throne room. That lesson is that as I went through the 150 pictures I had decided to save over the course of the game it's that it's the small things in life that matter and should be cherished. Lastly, Noctis's and Luna's afterlife/dream-like sequence made the whole ending in my opinion. It was beautiful, and it showed that all the two ever wanted was to be together and rule Lucis peacefully. A beautiful, bittersweet ending no matter what the haters say. Thank you SE for this great game. Now, off to continue doing post-game stuff! Also, we seriously need a DLC where we get to use older Noctis because that is the best male design in any FF game ever. I wanna kiss him. Coming from a straight guy. I tried using the kingly raiment on younger Noctis but it just doesn't suit him.

me as 42 and playing ff 1-15 crying in the end of the story thinking a bit and realizing when i was 7 years old played final fantasy one in floppy disc and memories trough the years even made me more epic to think back in the FF History, im not gamer anymore but if i would choose one to play forever long this would be Final Fantasy.

Final Fantasy XV was a masterpiece, and my favorite game of all time. It is the only game that I’ve played multiple times, and still felt compelled to play. Characters, storyline, and themes were off the chain. And anybody looking for the meaning of what it takes to be a real man, tidbits can be found in this game. Sacrifice, brotherhood, and struggle are what make great men, and all three can be found in the game. Awesome game.

This boss is a commentary on the game developement itself. "The 10 years you've spent accumulating power."

26:38 if you notice, there is no seat near the throne. So actually Luna in reality is in half standing or half sitting. It is a very inconvenient position. Well done, girls will sacrifice to look good even in fantasy So, Luna is a strong girl? not damsel in distress? the last cut scene is nice

Cloud:I'm the most develop and loved character... The best Final Fantasy character! Nobody can... Noctis:Will be taking that spot...

19:33 one of the most powerful scenes in all of video game history

bawling my eyes out but i kept going back to the part where they had their last campfire together...so heartbreaking.

SPOILER I YELLED WHEN I FINALLY SAW THE MEANING BEHIND THE LOGO AT THE END 10 YEARS OF THIS LOGO AND IT WAS MY GURL LUNA ALL ALONG

Ardyn set out to end the line of Lucis, and completed that task.

Persona 5 and FFXV gave me chills.

That Amano artwork of Noctis when the logo changes at the end looks so fucking awesome.

Noctis will return... in Kingdom Hearts 3.

Noctis ... Underappreciated.... My love for this character grew each moment of this game.... The ending always brings me tears....

This ending hit me hard, it might be the best ending in the final fantasy franchise, man I love Final fantasy XV.

I just finished Final Fantasy XV this evening and all I can say is that it's one great game. It's now my 3rd favourite Final Fantasy. I liked the story despite it's faults, I really liked the characters, loved the gameplay, the music and the game looks gorgeous. The game gives you everything you want from a Final Fantasy game, the feels, the emotions and there is so much good about this game. I wouldn't say it's the best Final Fantasy but it's definitely one of the best ones. I will be playing this game again and do everything I possibly can in the game, all the side quests, dungeons, etc. Although the game could have been better it still delivered and impressed me. It gives hope to the series and for Square to make more Final Fantasy games. I do wonder what their last Final Fantasy will be though.

You guys haven't understood the ending at all- The brothers didn't die they survived the one who died was noctis. Only Luna and Noctis died.

Ill never stop crying over the deaths of everyone in this game. By far the most emotional ive ever felt for fictional people in a game.
