Aranea slaps then heals Noctis.

Thanks yunburns.

new best waifu

God I love her...
 
so reading that best ending thread, did i miss something with ff xv's ending? okay so you kill ifirt. then you get stabbed by knights of the round. then you go kill ardyn. then you reunite with lunafreeto. then you say that you love your bros. maybe it would feel better if everything leading up to it wasn't so half baked after the first few chapters.

From what I've seen a lot of the praise for it is the campfire part. The bros friendship is easily the most well done part of the game and so Noctis crying and thanking them for everything before they go off to die feels more actually earned. It also helps that the facial animations and voice work for Noctis in both JP and ENG was astounding for that scene.
 
Aranea had a funny habit of dropping in while I was riding my chocobos and she would just chill in my party until I hopped off in an area without enemies lol.

lol, I was just thinking the same thing. The post credit scene with the bros was really good. If I remember correctly, Tabata had said something about the ending making you cry.

oh. well maybe i would have felt better about it if they weren't complete dicks to me the entire time i spent leveling up fishing.
 
She never popped in for me. Maybe cuz I didn't really play a ton of hunts after meeting her. Was going through the story pretty hard.

The good thing about the end is not how the story ends, but see the photos on the credits and see Noct talking with his buddies for the last time and remember all the journey that you (Noctis and player) had with the game so far

But yeah, if you just focus on the "Noctis beat Ardyn, they're dead and the world is save" part the end it's just okay

Gladio making fun of Noct's penis size whenever he caught a small fish cracked me up lol.

But if I heard one more "talk about back seat fishing"...
 
Question about Luna: Was she dying? She said something to her brother in a flashback that was like her body was going through something. Was this why she didn't care about dying in both the movie and the game?

Yeah. Not sure why, but they say the covenant (covenants?) are killing her. And Ardyn tells Ravus he knows the price of the contract. The reasoning behind it all I don't understand though.

Ok, I'm hoping that was some of the stuff they will expand on in the patch cuz they really need to explain that shit to us and why Ravus switched sides.
 
Hmmmm, I loaded my save at Ardyn to fight him cause the battle is so epic and fun. He smacked my HP down to zero during the midair portion of the battle and it wouldn't let me use a Phoenix down......game over. Can you not pop one of those during the final boss?

Also, lol at whoever says that's a QTE fight. He can easily kill you if you're not paying attention

I actually died in the second phase when we were both Super Saiyan. I kept trying to get close to him and the game decided to drain my HP super fast. Learned the hard way cuz I had to start the fight all over again. Yea, def not a QTE fight. Lots of fun. I loved that it was a true 1v1 fight and he had similar powers.

I popped a Phoenix Down in that phase. Must have glitched out.
 
So the Royal Raiment that you get from deluxe editions and the digital Sony distribution of Kingsglaive has skulls and bones on the back of the vest. Little callback to Versus XIII Insomnia.

lmfao, same. as soon as the second phase started i was like "aight imma go in on his ass" and all of a sudden I just died lol. only time i ever died in the game too so i was pretty salty

Yeah, I had a similar thing where it wouldn't let me use a potion and I died as a result (obviously couldn't use a Phoenix Down either.)
 
So what was the point of showing Luna in the end and Noct together married if they are "dead" Oh my god I love the ending but this story is a MESS. No chapters as Luna? Not even as a guest. Lies everywhere. I remember when Tabata said she joins you. Bullshite.

I thought it was super "whatever." Maybe I'm just to old and jaded but it really had no emotional weight for me.

Just to show them "happily ever after" even though they're dead. Probably just in there to keep the ending from being a complete downer that left us all wanting to jump off a cliff. I honestly would've taken a credit scene of Luna and Noctis over the campfire scene.

Think of the ending of Titanic. Even though the ending is incredibly depressing, you can still be happy that either in death or in her dreams, Rose is reunited with Jack and everyone who died. It's the same here. Noct and Luna never had the chance to develop the relationship they both wanted. In the afterlife, they both get to sleep eternally together.

Maybe the scene with Noctis and Luna together on the afterlife is a little pointless, but I personally think it was great when they became the logo of the game at the end

And made me think what the logo was supposed to be during the "Versus years". I'm pretty sure it isn't Stella
 
Another question......do enemies with a ??? level (Ardyn, Titan, Leviathan) scale with your level? I remember reading that somewhere.

Maaaaan.... Ardyn is my favorite final boss since Kefka.

The logo was originally of Etro, the death goddess.

It was changed when Tabata took over to be the symbol of Luna's lineage as the oracle. Hence why the image turns into her at the end.
 
I really do hope they do flashback cutscenes to really add to Ardyn's character.
His backstory is one of the reasons I love him so much.

The concept art ;(
 
What were they thinking with Costlemark tower really?

The dungeon plays and looks like a newbie map maker got a hold of the game tools and tried to make a dungeon. Nothing but dimly lit square rooms, and even smaller 4x4 square rooms to fight countless lots of aoe mobs in. Not to mention waiting for cubes to move in this stupid "puzzle".

ugh, utter trash.

Oh didn't know, thanks

And I always forgot that Versus used XIII mythology too
 
Loved the ending.

The wedding scene somehow made me very sad and Noct with his buddies by the tent, great stuff. FFXV mythos is great and super interesting, I hope the new cutscenes deliver and make the story more cohesive and elegantly told.

The roadtrip theme nailed it, all the camping, dicking around, the banter, jokes, riding chocobos, travelling in the car, etc, made them feel very close to me, a real group of friends travelling together.

Aranea is my new waifu and it's a total disappointment that she won't have a DLC of her one. Same thing goes to Luna.

Ardyn is a fantastic villain, incredible personality and a great backstory to back it up.

I'm so sad it's over, now we play the waiting game.
 
Yeah, it's crazy you can remove the jacket but you can't remove the king's cowl. Especially when he removes it normally while camping. Hope they'll fix it in a patch.

It's like they specifically planned it so you couldn't use the regular suit with young Noctis...

It's so close, everything necessary to do so is already ingame. At least it is a likely candidate for being patched.
 
Maybe this was asked already in this gigantic thread but where do you guys see the season pass content taking us? Will it be after the ending or before it? We gotta explain if the bros kicked the bucket or not by Ardyn.

Man, any time I see anything to do with the party scene from versus I get unreasonly nostalgic and bitter. Fuck I was so excited for the Noctis and Stella dynamic after seeing that plus there showdown in the street

If you played the game, you already have an idea about it.

Prompto - Chapter 12 to 13 in Niflheim and surrounding areas
Ignis - Chapter 9 in Altissia and maybe surrounding areas
Gladio - Chapter 7-8 in the mysterious Island seen in the background
 
I'm having so much fun with the end game content. The portrait of Lakshmi was such an awesome inclusion. I've been hoarding exp for several days now, and I'm prepping to fight the tonberry knights.

Gladio - Chapter 7-8 in the mysterious Island seen in the background

I think Gladio's will be in the trench between Duscae and Cleign. The concept art shows similar terrain to that area. Plus not sure how Gladio would be able to get to the island when the chapter he leaves in is about getting something to be able to use the boat.


I really do hope we get a semi chunk of an open area with each character and not just a linear section.
 
I'm most excited for Prompto's though since it might give us more background about Versatel.

I don't really buy DLCs but I'll be buying the season pass for this game.
 
Prompto's is definitely Niflheim though and Ignis' is indistinguishably Altissia. The Digital Deluxe preorder theme makes these both abundantly clear, especially Altissia.
 
What's the preorder theme?

I wish I had a link handy for you, but for Amazon's (I think) digital preorder bonus, players get a PS4 theme. It shows off concept art for each of the upcoming character DLC episodes, labeling them as such.

Gladio's is as an above poster described. Ignis is Altissia from above. Prompto is tracks in the snow and some giant mech-looking worm thing (or something? it's strange).
