I could taste test for ya!

@@harpia8889 More like test play XD

It taste like depression

@@poutykeyboard Yes indeed

This is the comment we all needed. Thank you, you absolute madlad.

baby cakes claire same

Saaaaaaaame dude. That "alternative" ending is Canon. FIGHT ME!

I KNOW RIGHT

SAME!!!!!!

,😭

Pretty much

Months later Episode Noctis confirmed. It's like a epilogue

I thought episode Noctis would be what happened while he was in the crystal.

No shit sherlock

Not anymore 😔

I may be a year late but you put this out so well, a round of applause for you

Thank you ! What I love about this game is that it is focused on brotherhood, loyalty and friendship. A good change from romantic love. It was a blast following the 4 bros journey !

Something I feel people still overlook about this game. I honestly wish I had friends who I'd call brothers like them. Real ride or die

Why are you making me cry like this 😭

Anyone notice Ignis crying during that?

you got the point...ohh.. it hits my heart even harder

When that happened I thought it was my imagination, that made me cry like a baby :(

The feels man 😭😭

This made it a thousand times more painful T_T! I didn't catch it the first time OH GOOOD. my heart is cracking again!

Being the angst fiend I am, I wish there was a bad ending credits scene of them finding his body and laying him to rest.

My brain: well that is gay...

What time stamp was that?

@@murasakirenea9290 14:57

*Game over*

I’m a straight male, and I think he looks way better like this. I mean damn, way to destroy your own looks there. I get he never cared about that, just looking snappy, but seriously, what is with the do? That hairstyle he normally has just looks...well, quite bad.

He looks like a bad ass. Yes. He should have kept it

21:48 damn he look like older cloud strife ..

THIS THO HAHAHAHA. He sure looks good with his hair downed like that, no homo, iggy.

That hair shows that iggy is really pissed

What is it

I"ll test it for ya

BAHAHAHAHA genius

Nicee

Let me tatse it for ya

you're right, i am fucking crying. i've been playing ffxv since 2017 and i only have episode prompto. this alternate ending made me ball my eyes out again, but in a good way this time

Moral of the story: Don't mess with cursed rings full of angry ghosts unless you're absolutely sure you know what you're doing.

Too bad ignis didn't know what he was doing

Ikr? Thats huge dick move from devs,like what the actual fuck?!

Technically, both were sound paths to take. If he played along, maybe Ardyn would just kill Noct when he couldn’t defend him in transit to the Crystal? One can’t predict the future after all. So in the main ‘canon’, he decided it wasn’t worth the risk and dived into combat right away, burning away his vision. But we were able to see what would happen if he did test out his strategy with a million in one chance of working. Any of Ardyn’s blows could have easily killed Ignis. He was toying with him. It’s a longshot to make a bet on the whims of a madman. In Extra Verse, it miraculously worked. That is all. The decision wasn’t right or wrong, it was just tactics.

I thought Noctis was dead anyway and the Crown city was restored bc they were in the afterlife i mean his sight got restored so like actually they just all died together

BAHAHAHA its just: Iggy: "I MAY NOT BE OF ROYAL BLOOD, BUT IF A GLAIVE CAN HARNESS IT'S POWER SO CAN I!" Ring: *doesn't fit * Iggy: ._. Ardyn: O.o Soldiers: o.o Iggy: .-. Ardyn: ._.

@@TakedownShoe .._____________________. ' -' what

Ignis: oh... F*ck

Read all this and I laughed. You guys created another ending. 😆

@@TakedownShoe Ignis: Wait, just hold on *tries ring finger, still doesn't fit* Ignis: shit *tries pinky, ring is too big* Ignis: Close enough

PSN_Mirru it's not tho

Technically speaking even in this alternate ending Noctis still should have died. Just because Iggy stopped Ardyn doesn’t mean he stopped the darkness from happening. In order to bring back the Light into the world Noct HAS to sacrifice his life to summon the old Kings. Regardless if this is the better ending. The end of it should still be with Noct dying because simply just defeating Ardyn doesn’t make a difference. That’s the whole point. When Noct defeating Ardyn in the main game, that didn’t stop the scarsurge.

PSN_Mirru I have plenty of chill, actually. And I wasn’t trying to make you see anything different about your views of the game. I was simply stating what I liked and thought about this alternative ending, trying to have a friendly conversation. And name calling really isn’t necessary. I was just giving my own views on the game. There’s no need to be rude.

the issue is ardyn is still a problem they just delayed the inevitable to potentially a future generation like many kings of the past likely did.

Same the alt ending will be the true ending in my eyes. I feel like they all just defeated ardyn together and didn’t need to call on the past kings of Lucis. Or least that’s what I’ll tell myself and I don’t give a shit if that’s “too happy” of an ending, that’s the ending I want to believe is canon so I will damnit.

Dyule lol!!! U said santa claus, the other said kfc colonel lol

At the beginning he sounded like a hissing cat at Ardyn, and how did he know???

More important: how did he recognized Ardyn in his disguise this part but failed to do that in his death scene in Chapter 13 verse 2? I may be nitpicking here, but that's kind of annoying.

Victor Vaz Yeah your right I didn't noticed that :O

XDXDXD omg ur right!

Rogelio A. Corro Chang he probably has its summoned like how he summons weapons

It’s like Jack Sparrow. Somehow, he always gets his hat back.

Hat confirmed as 14 armiger weapon

The arminger weapon I would like to obtain as new dlc(?) XD

Rogelio A. Corro Chang *Warp strikes behind you* Nothing Personal kid *Tips Armiger Hat*

Heart of Chaos they are everywhere if you didn't rush it. prompto had quite a few cutscenes.

suronia1 I only got the one at the original crow's nest, where are the others?

@@suronia1 Stuff like Ignis losing his vision or what happened with Prompto off train are HUGE moments which tell a lot of them and make the shock/pain they feel matter... but we know little to nothing of why. Moments needed to build up to a finally. The base game has mostly bro moments, but not them sacrificing for Noct. Just them being there. Being there isn't a build up.

I haven't finished Ffxv yet and I agree right away lol

Wait till u see the cutscene when u face the turtle

Ani Millsi iggy is the key

Iggy is the savior. He saved from 3 terrible DLC, now we only have 2 horrible DLC.

Ani Millsi actually sight had little to do with it. it depended on when ignis wears the ring. if he does it at the alter ardyn can escape before ignis can unleash the full power of the ring (he reaches this final stage at 18:50 in the final fight which is the deciding factor becuase the ring is fueled with his loyalty to noctis). what makes the alternate ending different is that ardyn HAS NO CHOICE but to stay in order to trap noctis in the crystal and use it to envolope darkness on the world. so he fought ignis long enough for him to unleash the rings full power because ardyn fought him for too long and ignis was able to match him. thus he wasn't able to corrupt the crystal with darkness thus he would need noctis for it and noctis didn't need to die because ardyn didn't fully use the crystal.

NoMoreHeroes02 I take this as a way to settle our demons... Now that the main story is over, we got a lil glimpse of a happy ending to thank us for sticking around. I really appreciated this.

Kevin Esteban That's a great way of looking at it! You're totally right! This is the reward for our loyalty... thanks...

When Old Noctis held Ignis'hand like he did back then, it did make me rather sad yet happy.

i was crying since the alternet universe ending was so sad but so awesome and beared ravius i thought that would never had come to be before

Hey this made me cry like a baby as well like you said 🤧🤧😣😣😭😭😢😢

That endings are too much weird so someone needs to die!? Why that Thats a sad ending

Why is final fantasy ending all so sad

Aurum Arma kinda like ff7r

Is that what it was? I wasn't too mad about the original ending, but I do really like this one. Perhaps it's because in the dlcs Noctis actually seems like he wants to be king, wants to use his powers to protect. In the main game he is just doing it because he's being told to, and I get it that it's forced on him and he's still so young but still. I felt he never came to terms with wanting to do it until he'd woken up 10 years later. Having Ignis make this sacrifice and having Noctis basically get a wake up call worked nicely. I appreciate the different alternates that were created. Something for everyone

Brandon Stepp don't get me wrong I do like it and I don't see where they're coming with noct in that moment. There's just something very satisfying about him calling out to the crystal because be genuinely wants to protect. It's like an epiphany moment that feels right when you've spent the whole game maturing if that makes sense?

i agree i loved the alternate ending best ending i wish that was the true ending did not like the true ending 4 that same reason 2 sad 4 me and it felt lazy also because they said we leave it 2 the fans 2 say if the guys died or not

So~ how come Noct didnt died in the alternate ending? What happened to Ardyn after his battle against Ignis? He looks zombified. XD

So during Nocts time in the crystal ignis and friends found a way to bring back the light without Noct being sacrificed or that ending they all died? Or maybe ignis died with Noct because he didnt pay the blood price himself?

it's not explained how Noctis lives though.

fishfag must be a loophole, Ignis chooses to sacrifice himself to save Noctis and was then healed by the crystal, perhaps because Ignis defeated Ardyn, Noctis didn't need to die to finish the job? Perhaps it weakened Ardyn enough that Noctis overpowered him easily?

but Noctis had to kill himself to even reach Ardyn in the Aether.

Well, one thing that majorly changed was the other 3 stayed together and went around exploring, gathering allies and other things. Maybe they found something in that time that lead them to being able to save Noctis and destroy Ardyn?

Especially when the bastards start playing Stand by Me in the end and you chose the photo for it to show to be everyone in front of the car at the beginning of the game, not knowing that would be the photo to see as the credits roll..frickin tear jerker

I'M SO UPSET

Nathan G I'M UPSET TOO X(

Glado was even more painfull you can hear him tear up a couple seconds beforhand

With Gladio, honestly the impact came more to me because you don't really expect it from him. If the guy cried, it was the sexy one-tear cry.

Yeah, that part where Gladio yells "What the hell were you thinking?!" really hurt. That's the only time we hear him expressed like that.

but i have play the game in the end!!!

"I've come up with a new recipeeeeeh!" *Puts on the ring*

Abraham Kresnik I wish he said " there is a fine line betwixt confidance and stupidity"

"KINGS OF LUCIS! LEND ME A NEW RECIPEH!"

Slendy yeeeeeeeeeeeeees!!!

Thats because it was ardyn?

@@Brandon25043 No Shit Sherlock. I swear to god some people have the IQ of a dry potato

That's how I felt when I heard Ardyn talk like Prompto in the train. It was extremely weird to hear the man say 'dude'.

kono ardyn da

he did see the older noct when he sees the future of his fate when meeting the dying pryna

@@NoctiisXIII True, but to me the young Noctis was the one in his memories and the one he saw most of the time

Little Row you can see that their faces have aged a bit and adults don’t tend to change their appearance that much over 10 years

Raimundo91 Ravus and Promptos hair is the same. Everyone’s else hair is longer. Noctis and Prompto were in their early 20s before the gap I’m pretty sure they would grow a little bit

Little Row lol Just Look at Pharrell dude doesn’t seem to age and has look the same for as long as I can remember. 10 years you probably won’t change much in terms of looks if you’re already an Adult or late teen.

Yeah. I guess we know where the modelling budget ran out.

I think they did a pretty good job with the aging honestly. Though I'm not overly fond of Ignis' hair.

NightmareDerpu hahahaaaa!!!

Lol ikr me and my sister were a mix of crying and laughing cause it was the second time playing it so I knew what would happen and it accually made me cry but I was legit DYING of laughter

I blacked out while laughing

You and your sister weren't the only one. It was weird as hell.

I laughed my ass off tbh 😂

"game over"

Not just that, but he cried while saying that. I had to replay that a few times but I saw a tear fall from one of his eyes as he said that. That and him crying in the True ending gave me the shivers.

IKR! The way he's writhing at the end make's me internally die

FMAkuma its worth buying ffxv just for this moment

FMAkuma, have a lil’ hat.

He is actually a hero

i know right i love the hat guy as well

Solcis Skylus and the Episode Ignis DLC

Maybe they'll go by the alternate ending and create a sequel to repair the damage done in releasing Final Fantasy XV incomplete. Despite the patches, dlc, and episodes making the game better the damage is done and a sequel is the best way to repair the damage done to the original.

Maybe, but how can you retcon a majority of the game? If they did that, I'd be very happy. I'd love to see Noctis live and see how the other Chocobros went about their lives.

I didn't mean it as a way to insult the game, I think it's a very fun game and was looking for excuse for Square to make a sequel because I don't want the story to end.

Okay, either be respectful or get off my comments, Ghost of Gotham. No reason to tell someone to fuck off and die, that is completely immature.

Hopefully!

Phoxxel play style?I'll give it 10/10 with mechanics and hidden stuff,but the story telling would be a fail 4/10 cause the important events are timed weird,and I haven't played ff games b4

Phoxxel I don’t know what you’re talking about, dude. Fifteen easily made it into my top five all time favorite games.

If you only take into account the base game, it's good. If you take the royal edition into account, the good status turns into great

FF 7 is the best

Indeed

Klayton Riley Why are you breaking my dreams? T.T I don't think this time it's just a spirit, Tabata said that he was going to make a "real" happy ending so it's probably this one. And the chapter is called "Possibilities" it's probably an Alternative Universe with here the posibility that Noctis survive and become the King, showing us what could have happen in the regular game we know if they had done things differently, really if they had plan to kill Noctis in this ending too it would be a useless ending, they wouldn't had done a alternative ending at all.

Exactly what _could have_ Unless Square decided to pull some Deus Ex Machina out of their butt at the last second, it makes no sense for Noct to actually be alive in any timeline. even in the alternative ending Noctis still should have died. It’s fate, as much as it sucks and as sad as it is, that has been set in stone since the first time we popped in the game. Just because Iggy stopped Ardyn early doesn’t mean he stopped the darkness from happening. In order to bring back the Light into the world Noct HAS to sacrifice his life to summon the old Kings. And there is no way he could have survived all those Kings, including Regis, stabbing him in the chest, 12 times. No potions or healing could have saved him. I’m not trying to break anything, I’m just being logical and as beautiful as this alternative ending is, on how things could have been, it just doesn’t make sense with Noct still having to sacrifice himself.

TheAngelofFate17 Yeah your right about the fact that it really doesn't make sense but again I still don't think Noctis he's dead in this ending. Tabata maybe had came up with something similar to the alternative ending in Type-0 here too it doesn't make sense that everything is beautiful and everyone is happy. And in the end when Noctis and the overs enter in the citadel, we don't really know what happened inside, this time he wasn't alone and maybe all the Kings of Lucis helped Noctis instead of killing him, really they could have done that.

if Noctis is alive then so is Ardyn

Knoiwisnin Nero ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Maybe, maybe not.

Free Fix same

YUP

I feel like the alternate ending is Tabata's true vision of the ending for XV, honestly.

no it's not, its not the end FFXV ends when Noctis and Luna are together Also, to add, both endings are the true endings (both canon) Alternate reality was confirmed a long time ago

DJ Sakura I don't seeing how every game Tabata has directed has some sort of tragic ending and the fact that this DLC wasn't directed by Tabata

to be honest i thought the same when you chose sacrafise in the Alternate fight as you gotten the full power while in the true was just a tease form

Ikr

settlement gamer Magate no gokui!?

then next patch he will fight against jiren...lol

If ignis fought goku id bet on iggy all the way

Which?

Mr Wonderful 😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲

Mr Wonderful someone else who noticed thank god

I'm not the only one!?

4 years late but yes he looks like his lost son...not like Jake

kirara2516 the alternate ending is no good.

Not quite on the latter. "Give up" works too.

I don't understand why we can't get that ending

^^^^ All of this

They're going to re-release the game on PC complete with all it's DLC (I think the latter half is true, can't remember that well), so I'd say it's definitely possible.

But i want a alternate version luna alive. Does she really have to die??

yes since notics had to go through pain and suffering to become the true king if there was an alternate version that be another universe

let me rephrase it for you, "please square enix release a complete game with a satisfying ending."

I mean Nocts father knew the fate of his son from the very beginning. Maybe he thought keeping noct away would make the pain hurt less. We will never really know. All we do know Is from the moment he was born, he was born to die and that makes this a tragic story

Leandrometfan i thijk they do have books. In the Square Enix Headquarters in Japan

The Final Fantasy book is actually the story of Cloud and it incluse all the others (yes Ignis' story as well)

If only the story was fleshed out in the base game. Dlc, movies, anime, just to get a story as full as any other ff base game.

I second the motion! Not to mention adding concept idea in the end :D I would've loved to read wht they planned originally for this game :) (yes.. Some of the info's on Wikia now. But it wouldn't hurt to know more, wouldn't you agree?) :)

Yeah you got your wish lol

The DLCs also tell us that Bahamut is basically a bastard and one of the main reasons Ardyn brought the starscourge upon the world. So Bahamut is using Noctis to kill Ardyn.

Fuck Bahamut.

tbh dead Luna and living Noct means, that unless Noct suddenly changes his mind and marries someone else, the bloodline of the Lucis is going to end, thus making Ardyn the winner. If Ravus does not have children, the Kannagi bloodline will end as well... so unless the gods play matchmaker for both of them they'll be in trouble lol

I totally agree ! And anyway whatever some peoplw say the ending of the main game us the true one otherwise they wouldn't have put it in the game. And tbh Noctis looked happy and in peace being with Luna in the afterlife while in the alternate ending he looked kind of sad sitting on his throne alone.

@@Nepheos imagine in 2026 we get a ffxv part 2 it turns out iris and noctis had an affair at some point and iris gives birth and noctis' son has to learn to resurrect noct lmao

Prompto suffered worst

I feel like prompto went through a lot. And both of them suffered A LOT all in name of Noctis. But Ignis really is the best character and wife

@@adamazmi6340 why did Promoto suffer the most ? Where I can see that ? In Episode Prompto ?

@@sofiaalexander4152 And Noctis will make the ultimate sacrifice for everybody. The friendship between the bros is phenomenal. I love those 4 friends and their brotherhood. And even though Luna is not in the crew but she also sacrificed herself for Noctis.

@@xhdhhdhdhd7136 yeah you didn’t play this game at all prompto states that he suffered the most

Richard Xia it's exist the prequel called kingsglaive

No, they should make a reh-se-pay book based on Ignis Cooking

One does not simply play FFXV without watching Kingsglaive and Brotherhood.

they did it came with the game or at least the pre ordered game.

Brandon Stepp Really good CGI

this

I nearly cried but I wish I did

Very touching scene

digifreak90 because are epic

Gave the soldier the hat

Ardyns immortality is due to the starscourge being built up inside of him. Ignis defeated him with the power granted by the kinds released, some of that starscourge. Then, when Noctis and the gang finally do kill him in the end, there is not enough starscourge inside him to keep him going, meaning Noct doesn't have to die to release the full power of the kings to release the starscourge

kirstyplz same for everyone lol!

What if Ravus' wardrobe is just dozens upon dozens of the same exact coat? lmfao

Revenant that is now canon

Logan Farley has to be, whites never stay clean.

Logan Farley lol thanks

and best mom.

since when did ffxv care about plot

Noctis dying at the end is one of the best and least cliche endings to a fucking game what do you mean? The main character living even though hes literally DESTINED TO DIE and thats cliche as fuck. Its great they took an alternate route and was simply like"Noctis died to bring back light to the world and lives in the afterlife with luna" Thats PERFECT.

+redviper57 The fuck are you talking about? You do know there are stories out there where the hero is destined to die and IT IS CARRIED OUT yes? And by the way, it doesnt matter if a ending is cliche or not, it not be cliche wouldnt stop an ending from being shitty as fuck because of the execution and the events leading up to it are shitty. THATS what makes a good ending. For fucks sakes the ending where Noctis dies we have NO IDEA WHAT what in the fuck happened to everyone else including his fighting partners. SHIT ending.

RaginDXDemon You'd have to be the most braindead person if you had no idea what happened at the end.

redviper57 Tell me what happens to Gladio, Ignis and Prompto at the end. Aranea? Iris? Yeah I fucking thought so.

Can't wait to try it

God, I know right? This scene already had me in tears, but GLADIO of all people breaking down really got to me…

You know, the Ignis/Noctis fans are going to have a FIELD day with EP Ignis.

If only they had the time it would have Maybe even have different endings The desperate sacrifice ending, Iggy bad ending, n maybe even another bad ending where Noct turns into darkness, n happy ending where no one dies

hnnnnnnnnnnnnnngh Well, listen. Ignis had no idea who Ardyn really was, and he wasn’t going to tell Noct the future he saw. If he did, that would only discourage him. Noctis had to find out on his own, to find it in himself to accept his responsibility as King.

jefthereaper Noctis doesn’t need to throw a weapon. If you use the ring or have magic equipped, he warp dashes.

That sneaky mulan reference

Storm trooper’s eyes

someone needs to put the audio of that quote over this scene omg

So did Nocts, dad. He knew from the beginning that his son would have to die

Dylan Strickland yes I agree. The alternate ending just seems too perfect.

They died together. Idk which one i prefer they're both powerful

Simply Nel they don't die it was just a fan theory that people thought it was them talking in the afterlife. They weren't idk how people completely ignore that you camp one last time before heading to insomnia. Also that's why Noctis takes a picture with him to remember them. If they all died together he wouldn't need a picture because they'd be together.

@@simplynel5318 during the credits it's show then traveling to the tombs searching for a way to return the light without killing noctis, I think it's mentioned once.

Yeah it also kinda carriers an uncanny feeling of wrongness. Like I want a happy end for the boys, but ignis just solo-ing thr big bad out of nowhere makes the whole thing feel unearned
