So in the after credits scene where Noctis hands Luna the picture you chose, I actually picked a picture of Cindy's cleavage. So Noctis hands Luna a picture of Cindy with her cleavage hanging out. I can't take this, I'm done, this is to much.
@Kincaidu
While I have a mixed feeling about the game, the ending itself was truly powerful.
@silentsylo9053
Am i the only one that got EXTREMELY emotional after completing the game?
@ItsJosiePosie
Truly a tale of tragedy like Nomura stated a few years back, and Tabata definitely got us. I was in tears the entire time once I reached the ending of the game. and the new logo on the title screen too once you finish. MY HEART
@l1qu1dm3t4lIV
This is the only game i've ever played where i got nostalgic for it, as i was playing it.
@marcofierro7687
The camping scene is before entering the crown city Don't over think it it's quite simple really
@0nearmedbandit
its not just to kill ardyn. but to also destroy the darkness once and for all. so there are no more demons. but it was truly sad
@shanebluesky7452
i truly think noctis and friends are great character designs that should not be wasted in a single game. like cloud,squall,lightening and others. they should return
@TheDanishCatLover
I'm just happy that Noctis and Lunafreya finally get married in the afterlife. That's good enough for me. <3
@LOVER_LINK
Ardyn is probably the best FF villain since HE got what he wanted in the end. Everything was planned from the start of his downfall. He knew Noctis will die with him. This was a bittersweet ending to this game. Hopefully the end of the scourge dawns a new era for Talcott and Iris. JUSTICE FOR JARED HAVE BEEN SERVED.
@13anderst
Iggy, Gladio, and Prompto are definitely alive. They all agreed to be with Noctis in spirit (and Iggy said this before the final battle lol) and they definitely showed up to help Noctis in the afterlife... God, I cried myself to sleep after beating this game as soon as New Years Day hit. This game told a beautifully tragic story. I chose the picture of the squad and supporting characters at Caem before they set sail for Altissia.
@yamisart
As for me, I like to think that Gladio, Prompto and Ignis made it out alive. I doubt they would've missed their best friend's afterlife wedding if they died as well. The throne hall is empty except for Luna and Noct after all.
@RobertLeeHD
NOCTIS IS DEAD ... And so is everything he's ever known. The points I wanna bring up are: - Camp scene is a flashback - Noctis is dead and so are his buddies - Why Arydn isn't so bad - Regardless, great game! Give me a chance to explain... Here are my interpretations. CAMP SCENE Clearly set before they left for Isomnia to finish Ardyn. Few examples to explain why this is the case; The sky is still plagued by darkness for one, the fact the final picture in the credits is the campfire scene, therefore cannot be after the end game. For me, the best point, the fact that they all know they will all die as an event of the final fight. This is a beautiful scene because Noctis knows he must sacrifice himself and needs to let the guys know, but it's even difficult to let them know that they will also die. The beauty in it is that individually, Prompto, Ignis and Gladio all know that the King must die but they also will die as well individually. Why? EVERYONE IS DEAD Noctis is told by Bahumut in short that he must sacrifice himself to restore light to Eos. But with Noctis dead, so will his companions as the abilities to draw weapons and magic to the fight will vanish as this is something they have inherited from Noct. They protect the King from reaching the throne room to do so, after Noct takes Knights of The Round, he dies, therefore alleviating the guys the ability to fight. This is shown in the Crystal when Noct finishes Arydn off, they are behind him when Noct delivers the final blow alongside Regis and Luna who are also dead which means they are dead too. The cutscene with Noct and Luna is beyond the fact that Luna, Regis and every other character except the fantastic four knows that Noct will be the one to sacrifice himself to save the world, but it's a scene where they are both at peace and can find what would of been a hoax had it not been for the fact they actually do love each other. The wedding was planned to allow Luna to guide Noctis into the end and give him the ring. Although they did love each other so that scene takes place in the afterlife aka astral realm. ARYDN WINS - ENDING The ending does what all good endings should do, they should make you laugh, make you cry, they should answer questions while leaving more questions in its wake. It'd be pretty boring and would make me not even consider writing this had it been straight forward. It's gotta get people talking. In the words of Will Ferrell "It's provocative, it gets the people going" Sorry, went off track... Arydn is an amazing character, he was both the Oracle chosen by the Gods and the bloodline to the throne who was wrongfully turned into a daemon and evicted of his throne. The Gods knew this and despite granted him the power to heal, didn't allow him into the astral realm after he passed, thus becoming immortal. His only goal was to destroy the bloodline, ring and crystal which was once rightfully his. In turn, he actually succeeded. When he is beat by Noctis he mutters "I will await you in the beyond" This is the last time he knows he will keep his human form and will then become a daemon. Arydyn knows that Noctis will have to sacrifice himself to destroy all daemons that he kept inside. Arydyn is the smartest villain, even in death he has succeeded. It's a shame that in death, he couldn't be sure that he had got what he wanted but knowing Noctis is now dead, we as an audience know. GREAT GAME "It's like MGS:V all over again" "They cut this, they cut that" "Open world, yeah right!" All of that I agree with, it could have been better. But in all it's a great work of art. I would love to see and know more about the characters which will obviously come in DLC. I personally want an Arydyn DLC, his downfall as a King, who exactly betrayed him. His scheme with the Empire. 8/10 for me, I love the franchise and this is another classic. Could it of had more, of course it could of. But I've loved my play through and with be playing it again without a doubt.
@yohjohnson748
I chose a picture with Ardyn smiling at the end of the game...
@Jarroddking
Would have been nice if you could hear Ardyn speaking his backstory in that scene where Noctis gets sucked into the crystal! The mix was awful. So frustrating.
@noctiscaelum3504
I know for certain that the campfire scene is before the battle it doesn't make no since if it's after
@philippaul6039
I'd like to think this is what happened. His friends fought off the demons while he journeyed to the afterlife and stuff. They were there "in spirit" like they suggested. And now he's living happily ever after with Luna. His friends survived because the light returned before they were killed by demons. As you've probably seen, the light returns as a result of Noctis's actions. I think Ignis Prompto and Glad are still alive I think.
@bobtheduck
You missed one theory: The reset theory. Noct erases Ardyn from history, and thereby undoes all of it, so the end is actually the marriage they should have had, in the reset timeline.
@kevinjaureguy8471
Just finished the game early today, can not remember the last time a videogame made me cry like this. Just epicness.
