I bet its a build up and we can return to the town he had them in, in game and see Noct go apeshit over them. Lol.

[@werecoth]

+R4zE if anything i see them visiting the are and having the original amd Noctis realizes he likes the ones Ignis made more now that memory lost its hand in it.

That crossed the back of my mind.

[@NebulositySirus]

That would be so mest up!

[@khamiskaze]

or it could be a recipe that we need to find in game to unlock his final special attack xD

[@TaruhaKurogane]

for Noctis, Gladious is the father figure, Ignis is the mother figure, and Promto is the little brother

[@Amzingred]

gladio is the protector of the group. ignis is the responsible one prompto keeps everyone's spirit up to keep the group from being too serious in life Noctis is the potential one to be a great combination from all 3 to take up as the leader he was born to be. All 4 = great friendship.

[@BritishTeaFGC]

I keep seeing Gladio as a big brother figure even before I found out he had a younger sister.

[@byksEBM]

This analogy is so real and accurate. The truth hits home...

[@etherwxlf]

They're all brothers. That's why it's called Brotherhood.

[@philanson9111]

there "like" brothers but none related, gladios father is the kings shield, ignis family was suposedly good friends of the kings, they both died and he kinda stuck around, the king kinda looks after him like a second child, promtos father died in the war, (or so it seems) his mom is or was always at work when he was a kid, hes the only one of nocts party who is a commoner, gladio would be if his family line hadnt served as the bodyguards of the last several kings, ignis his family were high up nobles if story was correct

[@TheSwordofDoubt]

I just realised the moment at 6:40, when Prompto hesitates before picking up the tart, is a callback to his weight loss. He's possibly afraid of gaining weight again and subsequently losing his friendship with Noctis (even though we know Noct wouldn't do that to him). And yet, in the present day, he's eager to go out for food, possibly showing that he's grown more relaxed and comfortable in their friendship. Consistency in the tiny details like this is what makes this anime so charming.

[@Zinervawyrm]

You might actually be right about that. I had a friend in college, who before I met her in college was heavy in high school, lost a ton of weight, and she would sometimes give sweets the same kind of look too.

[@SOSOLRAK]

Zinervawyrm haha haha

[@ironwolg]

Yeah definitely a throw back to that. Ignis hints at it too when Prompto asks about hitting up the Crow’s Nest. “If you wish to put on some weight? Certainly.” I love how real these characters feel. The anime just adds so much to it. It’s what saved the game I think. For all it’s shortcomings, the characters and their relationships make you feel something. It keeps me coming back to it.

[@0calliestar0]

I also like the parallel between the fight scene at 12:05 and the fight scene at the end of episode 3. Noctis pouts and gives up like last time, showing how he is reverting back to his childish ways and doesn't want to accept the responsibility of being a prince. And this time, Gladio knows that yelling at Noctis more won't help and tries to connect with him instead in the hopes that it'll encourage him to improve.

[@potatooolatke]

I think FFXV doesn't have the best story, but I absolutely love the character development on the four. Little things are so good and noticeable even in game.

[@JayziahRoyal]

Man I really love the style of this world and it's characters. I wish this was a long running anime.

[@babarrett1]

+Frederick Bingley they already have DLC's in progress, but I'm quite positive there won't be a sequel, the dev team are very much against sequels, which is one of the reasons why they made a movie, anime, 2 retro games, the game itself and the DLC's.

[@iamaptpupil]

+BuddyBro15 Final Fantasy X-2,Final Fantasy XIII-2,Lighting returns anyone?

[@Blackemperess]

This was pretty cool, but I'm disappointed that we didn't get to see how Ignis was drafted in as Noctis' full time nanny. Imagine explaining that to your kid at a young age, _"You will serve this kid for the rest of your life. You will cook, clean, nag, sew and will not rest until you fix every little flaw he points out in your efforts to please him. Forever and ever. Have fun son!"_

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

Year later after this game has come out, this comment is even more hilarious. Ignis does so damn much for Noctis! And it started at age six!

[@Phyllion-]

@Kibate He's Noctis' aide, while it does not involve going as far as he does with the sweets and all, looking after him and advising him is his duty.

[@gateauxq4604]

Ignis would have been schooled for this from a young age, probably with other iuds so Regis could pick the best one. He chos very wisely.

[@RainbowEssence-c3w]

Yeah, it is rather messed up huh lol? Ignis was basically indoctrinated to become the perfect manservant, there is no room in his life for anything or anyone else. Is it any wonder the guy's a bit... emotionally stunted? I feel so sorry for Ignis, he was raised to be Noctis's butler and advisor till the day he died but then Noctis dies at the end of FFXV and like what does he have to live for? His whole reason for living is gone. Kinda hate how they killed off Noctis, I swear, the two of them deserve better than that.

[@sandygonsalves4646]

@@RainbowEssence-c3w there is an alternative ending where noctis gets to live. Not sure Bout ignis though

[@6Kubik]

Ah, Ignis is such a good mum. I really have this "family" feeling with them.

[@KoeSeer]

Noctis, the cool middle kid who girls always fell into. But actually, behind that cool attitude he is pretty sarcastic, lazy, and a smartass. Gladio, the big brother who will protect everyone and charge into the fight head first. Prompto, the youngest brother who always get the pointy end of the stick and a comedian, but the best friend of middle kid and liked by everyone. Also, without him, the group will be less interesting and full of silent cool dudes. Ignis... uuh the mum?

[@6Kubik]

KoeSeer I imagine Gladio as the father. In the first episode he and Ignis talked like parents about Nocts eating habits. Since them I cant get this family picture out of my head.

[@mareya1515]

+KoeSeer Ignis is trying to keep it all together with grave responsibility. Pretty admirable character.

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

[@pointclicky]

I love how at the start of the episode the group is frustrated about being forced to camp and Ignis takes their feelings to heart and turns around to give them a comfy place to rest, contrasting his younger self who probably would've kept driving while only thinking of getting the prince to his destination ASAP despite what they wanted.

[@cursedcollection552]

[@jefthereaper]

Noctice ether has a amazing memory when it comes to taste to remember how a great desert he only ate ones or a few times as a kid. Or, he's just constantly saying its not tasting exactly the same just so Ignis will make another the next day so he can keep eating good deserts. XD

[@kinginthenorth247]

If it's the former, then I'm amazed at his good memory. But if it's the latter, then Noct is one sly son of a chocobo (and I'm gonna take notes from this lol).

[@CocoBanana99]

Damn, that second one is genius

[@aprimic]

he probably thinks he can remember the taste, but actually cannot.

[@jaredhughes556]

+Aprime It goes deeper than flavor. The repeated attempts to mimic the pastry are a symbolic representation of Noctis becoming a king like his father. The reason this specific recipe hasn't been replicated is because Noctis still hasn't developed all of the right traits, "ingredients" if you will, to be able to rule. He is still young and afraid - burdened by the war, his father, and the safety of his kingdom. But while he is not ready to take on the throne yet, in time he will find his identity and the strength to lead the legacy his father has left him.

[@aprimic]

Jared Hughes sure, but I'm referring to memory.

[@AntoineBandele]

I guarantee the Tenebrae recipe will be a side quest for Ignis in the game.

[@shadowwarrior3444]

[@revi6482]

I can actually quite relate to Noctis. Before my father past away last year, he was sick for years too, and seeing him suffer and knowing it won't become better made me scarred. No wonder Noctis was so aggressive. Fuck this feels! :(

[@kaninerflagg9998]

I think this was something special he shared with Ignis. Would've killed the fun and stopped the game if he'd just asked.

[@aislingyngaio]

I mean, in the bonus Luna scene, he was shown to have written to Luna with a picture of Ignis with a tray and the caption "too sweet". So it's probably actually an inside joke between Noctis and Luna, and also a way to get Ignis to bake lel.

[@Gamerkat10]

"Keep cooking for me" Is a popular way to give a love confession in japan.

[@bigfranz1709]

Granma = secretly mama ignis

[@thedevilsadvocate4854]

This dessert as so much meaning. Noctis saying " not quite " at the end. It could also be referencing to him not being ready yet to be the King. And if we associate the desert with Tenebrae,it could mean that he is not ready yet to confess his love to Luna ( which Tabata spoken about ). This episode really helps us to understand that Ignis is kind-of the mother figure that Noctis never really had,and it's very cool to see that.

[@thedevilsadvocate4854]

Also he has so much loyalty and he brings the maturity in the group,he is the one who thinks correctly at everything,the most rational one,he is the guy who can calm the other guys if they are being anxious and that's a perfect role for him.

[@Kooliow12]

Your on to something Sir

[@lukemoonwalker8444]

wasn't PromptoXLuna a thing ? also I can't help but think that Ignis will end up beeing a traitor

[@thedevilsadvocate4854]

Luke WalkingMoonTree Wow.. no,not at all. It's Prompto x Cindy,Prompto is in love with Cindy for a while. And the guy i see the least being a traitor is Ignis. In one of the trailers we see the three guys from the group,but Prompto isn't there. I don't say that he is a traitor but maybe.

[@resolvedfate1295]

+Luke WalkingMoonTree Luna loves Noctis not Prompto. She only sees him as a friend.

[@Darth_Bateman]

I appreciate Ignis' stoicism. His body and facial expressions are static, but he clearly cares about not only Noctis, but his duties and his king. The only problem is. . . .Ignis' social skills are clearly asinine. He tries to appeal to people's reason rather than their wants or senses of purpose, and that's GOOD. It's an excellent character flaw for someone so studious and stoic. Notice when Noctis shouts him out Ignis just throws his head onto the drivers wheel and sits there wondering: "Why?"

[@CRAM079]

I also LOVE that Noctis has a distaste for veggies. It makes him feel so much more human, and that simple thing adds so much depth. Same with Prompto and his childhood obesity, and his love for photography.

[@aifebriyani919]

And that's the development of Ignis from his childhood! At first he didn't understand Noctis' feeling but current Ignis/in-game Ignis, he finally understand. Lots people here comment that Noctis is the only one who got character development in this episode. The truth is Ignis too but not as clear as other characters. His way of thinking is changing, almost similar as Gladio but "softer"

[@khfan4life365]

Hype M4N What I noticed is that Ignis may look stoic but his eyes are very expressive. You can tell what he's thinking with his eyes.

[@shirahime23]

Spot on. Great analysis.

[@rai4119]

While Gladio actually asks the damn question. @hat i think is odd is that in game, it's Ignis that understands Noct better than anybody

[@TH33QUALIZ3R]

Wouldn't you rather the game was delayed and 'made right' before launch or have another No Man's Sky? lol It's only a couple of months and should be worth the wait I'm sure. 🖒

[@markellhawthorne2921]

It's only 2 more months, though.

[@MakoMusicYT]

I don't get the delay thing as a negative. It's totally the other way around and shows that Tabata really cares about the game.

[@TH33QUALIZ3R]

Omabroodje It's not always the case but Japanese studios do tend to have a better discipline when it comes to releasing games when they're ready compared to Western studios who just want them out no matter what before Christmas etc. The 2 month delay gives me a little more time to get the money together for the collector's edition anyway... 😂

[@Idk000000]

+Marvin James No Man's Sky was sorta delayed multiple times, from what I recall, and look how it turned out. They could delay it any number of times and the game would still never be perfect. That said, I trust SE knows what they're doing so I don't mind the wait myself.

[@HollyJollyAru]

I love how this episode really brings forth Noctis' depression that started after his attack/escape from Tenebrae. It's apparent in the other episodes but this one hits home. The apathy, the avoidance, the disregard of cleaning up after himself, going to the arcade as an emotional escape, Noctis has a heavy weight on him enough from his expected accession as king but the weight on his mind is nearly as great if not greater. Confessing that he doesn't think he's right to be king, that he's not strong enough, shows the one thing that he's afraid of: Of becoming king and not being good enough.

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

To me, this felt more like him just being worried in general of becoming king because of his father's death. When Ignis kept going on and on about him eventually ascending to the throne, it's the hinting at Regis's death that finally causes Noctis to yell at him. He doesn't want to lose his father but the only way he'll ever become king...is on his father's deathbed. What a depressing thought. Seeing his father with a cane, the energy being sapped out of him by the Crystal to uphold the Wall, didn't help matters. I'm sure he's certainly worried about the kind of king he'll be one day but first...he has to lose his father and that terrifies him.

[@avarnanfire]

But in the end, he did end up getting the right recipe. After you eat the most expensive food in Altissia, Ignis gets a new recipe called the "Memory Lane Pastry" (or something like that) and it completely resembles these pastries. It also gives one of the best stat boosts "prime".

[@freshboy3968]

Eh, not from Tenebrae. :/ It's the one quest in Galdin where you apoarently get it from.

[@MikeCatrone]

"so which trash does the frying pan go in?" haha

[@isaiahrivers7117]

I'll be honest here i kinda actually like Noctis's dad, he just seems like a great king and a good father to Noctis. I mean sometimes in cartoons, animes, movies, video games, comics, mangas or whatnot or whatever you see on it's kinda always the main or side character or whatnot who has a dad who is king or emperor or whatever that always be a jerk to their kids and always treating others miserable and wants to rule the world or something because they gone mad with power i don't know, Lelouch's dad from Code Geass or Zoku's dad from Avatar for example. But Noctis's dad seems like a great person so pure hearted and not being a dick to his son or letting the power go to his head or something or whatever. And i actually like the fact that Noctis cares for his dad, just like i said with the cartoons and anime and such sometimes it always the kid who hates their dad even though the dad is actually good, i don't know that's just my guess. But yeah Noctis's dad a great man and Noctis caring for his old man, i like it.

[@cloud154532]

Kinda reminds me how Tidus from X also hates his dad. While Jecht was a dick at times, he did truly love Tidus, but just didn't know how to show it. Though the main reason Tidus hates his dad is because his mom ignores him whenever Jecht is around. It just never really made sense to me.

[@ucanhhuynh7183]

I think the main reason why Tidus hates Jecht is because of his father attitude towards him.

[@cloud154532]

Orihara Kanra It's mostly because because of his mother. The attitude thing was part of it, but that's because Tidus was little, and didn't realize that Jecht was doing that on purpose to try and toughen him up, since he didn't know how to show any affection. It wasn't until late in the game where Tidus finally realized that, however, so you are still technically right.

[@ucanhhuynh7183]

cloud154532 Yeah and kids always want attention, so both are true I guess.

This. I had high hopes they'd save an Ignis episode for last between the four of them. I wasn't disappointed

[@tjmarasigan9054]

been waiting for this! been refreshing for awhile now glad it's finally up. also am i the only one curious about the contents of luna's notebook that made noctis surprised when ignis mentioned it?

[@HeroOfBitcoin]

same!

[@seasonaldates]

They must've been exchanging letters to each other through that notebook. Looks like Noct is late at replying them xD

[@shownon]

Anyone else get really feelsy when ignis was talking to Regis? about the toll on his body and successor?

[@yuri.h5813]

With all this dessert and veg-less food I question how the hell does Noct have such unbelievably good body D:

[@TheDumontShow]

great backstory. i feel like i know these men on this mission. i have a bond with them. this has to be the theme of final fantasy xv: bonding and friendship. definitely a game need in this day and age. noctis is very relatable. that a huge responsibility he has to take and it's on his lap because the only family he truly has, is on the verge of death. it's something he wish he could stop but he can't. he feels helpless but slowly realizes the people around me are the ones he needs to grow as prince and ultimately a man. that's awesome character development for him and ignis. now i am clamoring to play the game so i can get to tenebrae and learn how to make that pastry perfect for noctis. that's great storytelling

[@justsomedragonslayer]

This game is gonna make me soooo hungry XD

[@TheDumontShow]

Pink Swagneel definitely lol. just looking at that egg in the promotional pictures alone, made me hungry

[@justsomedragonslayer]

I'm love no these four characters a lot

[@justsomedragonslayer]

Loving

[@humboogu]

I thought Ignis was going to have those sweets perfect. I was let down.

[@SirBuckford]

Will Ignis ever make the perfect sweets? Tune in next time on November 29th for the finale, Final Fantasy XV: The Game!

[@nightranger9555]

+Sir Buckford dammit!

[@rasdan1192]

might become a sidequest for ignis' ultimate weapon?!?!

[@SVisionary]

Fairly positive it was stated that will be a side quest within the game itself. Something to look forward to. Nice to have more backstory to it.

[@AnoAssassin]

+SVisionary I got the recipe, sadly, not that useful

[@Magpie5yndrome]

(They get to a hotel) Noctis: "Goodnight." "But it's the middle of the day. And you were sleeping in the car." Noctis: "Did I stutter?"

[@AceKite00]

Noctis just may be the first FF character i can relate to on multiple levels.

[@Gamerkat10]

15:17 "I want to eat your home cooking" Is a popular way to give a love confession in japan.

[@umbrawitch]

This has got to be my favorite episode they've put out so far. It did the best job of making me connect to a character compared to the others.

[@velvet_victor]

Exactly. I felt the same.

[@begformeowcy]

Poor Ignis, you can really see the tiredness and sadness in his eyes in this. Ignis has no life outside of Noctis 😓, he lives in a tiny little apartment, attends meetings on Noctis’ behalf and spends the rest of the time training at the citadel 😓.

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

I think that's Ignis' fault, to a certain extent. Gladio did say in episode one that he babies him. I'm sure he's able to do other things but he feels so responsible for Noctis that it's consumed his life. Honestly, I think if someone gave Ignis a week off to do whatever he wanted, he'd go mad without being able to attend to Noctis, lol! Noctis IS his life!

[@niwatorimeat]

I like how Ignis still feels like mom in the final product.

[@shirahime23]

I love the subtle metaphor of the pastry here: Like never stopping from trying to get the taste/texture right, Ignis is trying to become more empathetic, compassionate, and patient outside of the demands set by his duty and job--and his relationship with Noct has become the stage on which this is all allowed to unfold. He is trying to distinguish and build upon how to become a better person, and not just a better adviser/chamberlain/tutor/housekeeper. Iggy is actively trying to view and understand Noct as a person, son, friend, and brother-in-arms, and not just as the prince, Regis' only gem, the heir to the throne, a politician, and a soldier on the battlefield. I love how Iggy's own relentless quest for perfection, not wanting to compromise, which in the beginning, worked against him, has become his greatest strength.

[@Fruitarian.]

A bonus episode for luna or cor would be really awesome

[@hashtagtylerh]

an episode on Luna comes with the ultimate collector's edition

[@zidanetribal8619]

[@ImALombax]

Am I the only one who kinda wishes they did english dubs of this?

[@AttackRaidan]

Nope. Trust me, we’ve been wanting it. The English cast of the game did phenomenal

[@blankpage9277]

I wish they had. I want to hear it with the English cast.

[@zidanarfanazizy2433]

"your highness, please ban exam" really got me

[@JabariMore]

I actually love the father-son dynamic between Ignis and Noct. You also see the toll his father’s degrading health takes on Noctis. Final Fantasy XV’s Characterization is Incredible.

[@BenRay47]

Ignis is a very well thought out character. Love this series

[@KoeSeer]

lol, Noctis always start the scene with sleeping

[@TheFyy6y]

bittersweet memories perfect name for this episode because of the delay

[@kaizen_555]

Bout to revisit the game this time on ps5 played it on xbox when on launch day i think i finished before the episodes dropped so rlly excited to play again!

[@ani-everything5995]

Ignis actually making the "right" sweets should be one of the side quests in the game >_>.

[@otherprisma7354]

There's a "Bevelle" sign in there either a brand or restaurant lol

[@phoenixofdartmouth]

theres a spira sign right next 2 it

[@hufflepuffxlovex]

I was wondering if anyone else noticed it! brought back so many memories!

[@1800Hernandez]

there are also "3 stars", and "atb" signs

[@silenthero2795]

I cant get over how ridiculously good of a job A1 did on this series. Wow man

[@maxsmith3776]

This has surprisingly good writing. Every episode gets better and better!

[@PBNrandom]

And here, we see the mother hen in its natural habitat. XD

[@sahayeda5220]

11:44 Is this how prompto met him? Great first impression 😂

[@iB0NKERS]

I love how Noctis isn't the typical royal brat. Don't get me wrong, he can be kinda bratty but not in a normal way. He wants to be normal sometimes, is actually kind and caring, stresses out about his future, and genuinely cares about his fathers' health as well as not even wanting to think about his dad dying despite the fact he rarely sees him.

[@Big-boned_Pikachu]

Honestly these are so well made I would pay to see more! The artwork is gorgeous (the scenery is just so well done!), I enjoy the voice acting a lot and the stories keep me with my eyes glued for the full episode! I love it!

[@LovinTheSickBeat]

Noctis is pretty relatable for me. Being in a family that used to value the sons as the ones to become the pillar that holds the prosperity afloat, I was always told that eventually it would be my turn to uphold that symbol after my father. Like Noctis, my personality is like a kid that had to deal with the responsibilities of an adult. I wanted to have fun, but responsibilities made me reluctant.

[@Zinervawyrm]

4:34-4:38 had me laughing so hard… Noctis was like: "Wait a minute…what happened to all my garage!?"

[@retronion9770]

he was actually looking for lunas notebook.

[@Zinervawyrm]

I meant he finally actually noticed that the house was clean.

[@Meiyuwhite]

相変わらず神アニメだったわー…。 イグニスとノクトのあのなんとも言えない信頼関係がほんといい… お互い口に出さずとも信頼している、みたいな てかもうキャラ同士の会話がいいw毎度なんとも心がほっこりするw もうFF15のキャラほんと好きになったわ!! これは5話もそして本編も期待せざるを得ないだろww

[@kwcl176]

Ignis: if u think someone is gonna come by and pick it up, u r mistaken ignis hours ago: just came by and picked up that landfill

[@AttackRaidan]

I loved this anime segment so much. Wish we got a full season with all characters more fleshed out like this.

[@inthefuturetense412]

So ignis is the mom. Gladio is the dad. Pronto is the sister. Noct is the son. This is one happy family

[@rikustorm13]

Prompto and Ignis are girls now? 😂 ok

[@demi-fiendoftime3825]

+Lord Xemnas They're talking personality wise, Gladio is the Stoic = Father / mentor figure trope aka Auron, Gaulf, and Sahz. Pronto is the out going one = Younger Exitable sibling trope aka Zell, Selphie, Rikku, and Vann. Ignis is the responsible one = mother/ nurturing figure that takes responsibility aka Lulu, Tifa, and Quistis. And Noctus Lazy smartass protagonist, Lock, Cloud (before Kingdom Hearts and Advent Children made him a brooding emo), and Zidane to some extent with the thrown on factor that he really likes to sleep it seems.

[@rikustorm13]

Oh ok

[@UsonoHoushi]

Prompto is more of the baby of the group.

[@dirtyharry0191]

What a big happy family we got here.

[@PunkieDudie]

I love how relatable Noctis and Prompto are! That and the relationship of Ignis with Noctis is beyond important. I wish this was presented in the game thoroughly. Though I just recently learned about Versus XIII and I would love to see the original take of them, I have gotten to warm up to this one finally after a few years

[@Sam3031996]

SE has done a great job for promoting FFXV. I love both their game and films xD

[@togelz]

I always felt that Noctis possibly is the most unfortunate one amongs all FF protagonist Obviously every FF protagonist has misfortunes, sorrow and suffering on their life, Cloud, Cecil, Terra, Yuna, Lighting, Squall etc But in the end most if not all of them finds resolve and happiness in the end But i felt Noctis is different His whole life was prepared for him to be the sacrificial lamb, and the end game he got is only his death so he can defeat Ardyn in the afterlife so to speak and he kinda knew that and not to mention in the process to defeat Ardyn he had to lose people close to him like his father and Lunafreya and even he succeed he will lose his friends that's why he was such a brat, because he doesn't want to lose people close to him because everyone seemingly so eager to sacrifice themselves for him when the time comes and he doesn't want that

[@gaylord666]

Is anybody else wondering why Ignis decides to spike his hair in the future?

[@slip4009]

Thug life??

[@heyojayo8642]

He was sick of this one guy named Yosuke bugging him thinking he was Yu Narukami

[@YoureNotAlexander]

It's funny. The whole time looking at this guy, I'm thinking to myself, this dude would actually look good if he had a normal haircut. Then I watch this episode and realize he DID have one but decided to ef it all up. And for what? To fit into Noct's entourage? Seems that Gladdy also had a non deuchebag doo at one point. Guess it didn't go with the black leather....

[@ShijioHirojima567]

@@heyojayo8642 3 yrs late but this was still funny

[@yoyoky6426]

To look more mature and older?He really look like pretty boy with hair down in DLC😂 the spiked hair and glasses makes him look like 28 instead of 22

[@Xenyzhia]

Ignis is my favorite character in FFXV, and only in the DLC Ignis Episode I'd burst my tears. He's Noctis' retainer who sacrifice the most in the game. T^T

[@nicke20686]

By far my favorite episode so far. Many emotions and nice to see the character development here with Noctis and Ignis..also seeing his perspective a bit about becoming king one day was cool. There's so much potential for Noctis to grow and develop through this story. It's exciting.

[@Rebotified]

I thought notis was more of sasuke like but you realise how normal, friendly he is.

Rest in Potions. One day my nigga Ignis will get that recipe down.

[@MarcosLobatoChagas]

I'm glad the episodes are increasing in length.

[@CarlosSantos-vk4tm]

I'm happy that they're taking their time to show each characters connection with Noctis but also to show their personalities and experience's of how they grew up. Makes it more meaningful and makes the characters more relatable and alive, instead of being just a regular person in some game.
