I didn't even knew about this side of the episode until a saw a screenshot with an Ardyn on a mod of cactuar :v

Yep ... the difference basically just was that he fought ardyn (which must he had done anyway) and after that he went around asking people for help and not sitting around for god damn 10 years! XD

You miss the point of the story if you only focus on the fact that your favorite people die.

[@classarank7youtubeherokeyb63]

But in this case, the starscourge was never eradicated, right? Wouldn't that mean that many people would continue to die from the disease and the resulting daemons?

[@wolfygaming7222]

I can't say whether the alternative ending expresses that they eradicated the starscourge, however according to the wiki, Ignis devises a strategy that kills off Ardyn ( I'm guessing the similar way Noctis did in the "bad"/storyline ending ), which allows Noctis to survive in the process, they probably did the same thing, channeling the strength of the former Kings ( and queen ) but did something so Noctis wouldn't die afterward.

[@khairuladnan1906]

the original ending is bitter-sweet and it wraps the entire story up nicely

[@830hole]

We get that but when you fall in love with characters they made you love so much it's hard to watch them die.

[@caliggyjack7480]

I always find it funny to see many of Western people (me included) react to sacrificial endings in Japanese storytelling. Japan and the West have different views on happy endings. In the West, life is the happiest of gifts one can have, so living happily ever after and not dying is considered a happy ending. In Japan it is the opposite. To them, life is simply a trial and Death is the culmination of all of life's trials, where one is measured by how he conducted himself in life beforehand. TL;DR: In the West, our form of a Happy ending is to live with honor. In Japan, it is to die honorably.

[@DragNetJoe]

That's why we win wars. You win wars by making some other poor dumb bastard die for his country.

From what i've read. Ignis found a way to defeat ardyn without noctis dying. It didn't state how but it worked and noctis became king and alive

I read somewhere that when Ignis won Ardyn (even temporary) gave more time to Noctis to control his power (or something like that) and when he fought Ardyn again he was strong enough and he didn't die. (Sorry for my English )

A little late to the party, but the original ending had Ignis Blind, Ravus and Noctis dead. Alternate ending had Ignis with sight and Noct alive along with Ravus. I prefer this ending after having the heart-breaking original. Got a taste of both outcomes so it's not a question of choosing a favourite one. It's just appreciating the whole experience. But i definitely would feel devastated had i not seen the alternate outcome. A what-If scenario that would ease the trauma of the original haha.

[@jayvonmenjivar2941]

As someone not able to buy the DLC at the time thank you for this explanation because God knows I need this to ease by heart and was kind of confused I thought this was like a super secret true ending

[@reapordeath]

@@jayvonmenjivar2941 well now...Dawn of the Future is a other what-if story that gets an even happier ending. Luna comes back from the dead and starts absorbing daemons, becomes friends with the Emperor of Nifilheim's estranged daughter and successor to Nifilheim's remains. She talks to Arydn and convinces him to join her cause. Noctis doesn't fight Ardyn in Insomnia, in fact he doesn't fight Ardyn at all, he has to fight the demonized Luna, but this fight is cut short by the appearance of Bahamut who takes all the darkness from Luna and reveals that his original intention was to destroy all life on Eos but he was stopped way back in the day when the Astrals banded together to stop him. This time though the Astrals weren't strong enough to stop him and this time it falls to Noctis and Ardyn to team up and kill Bahamut. So Ardyn sacrifices himself to kill Bahamut in "the beyond" while Noctis and the boys kill Bahamut in Eos. During the fight Noctis breaks Bahamut's mask and realizes that Bahamut looked like Noctis and surmised that Somnus (Ardyn's brother) must have been favored by Bahamut because they looked similar. So in the end of the Dawn of the Future, Noctis and Luna get married, and have two beautiful children, and Ardyn gets his revenge on the gods for their betrayal and finally gets to be at peace with his love Aera (who incidentally is Luna's ancestor) And the Scourge is purged from the world alongside all the magic in the world

Well it turns out the ending for the game isn’t cannon. They made a book where the actual cannon ending is. The reason we got this ending in the game where he sacrifices his life was because it was rushed. The games story wasn’t complete so it was concluded to that.

I still wish one day they "remake" the game and have these DLC episodes (maybe not Ardyn since that's good on it's own) integrated in the main game, the structure would help the main storyline have great tension and clearer development for the main charcters and even the side charcters like Cor, Arenea, and Ravus. It'll make the whole experience feel complete and brings some immersion instead of having to use menus to access them. I just love this game and I feel like it's potential is being held back by these decisions.

There was supposed to be a big DLC where A God of Fate was forcing Ardyn to take the throne and at first he didn't want to do it but was forced to by this God then Noctis and his gang realized what lied ahead in the future so they all team up together with Ardyn to have a great battle against this God of faith to practically choose their own fates and live their own lives and when this God is finally brought down the true happy ending happens Ardyn is free and can live his life not forced to hurt people all for a Gods amusement, Noct becomes king and is living happily married to Lady Luna. And Peace is restored to the World.

[@browncoatkevin]

Thus, combining that planned canon ending with this ending creates the best future. Some elements of each might need to be finessed to fit the other, but there is a FFXV universe where Ardyn, Ignis, Luna, and Noct all made the specific necessary decision to allow Noctis, Luna, and Ravus to live while Ignis retains his eyesight and the Starscourge is purged. That is my FFXV ending, gaining the brightest day from the darkest night.

The alternate ending for Episode Ignis is intriguing, but left many questions for me: If the crystal's healing capabilities is canon, why was Ignis not healed in the true ending? What did Ignis and the group traveling with him in the credits learn by searching the Kings resting place? What happened to Ideolas in this alternate ending? How did the group perish the starscourge? Why did Cor not join them in the final battle, and would Bahamut approve of Noctis choosing another path to stop the "usurper" was also left unanswered here, since the Astrals were determined to help guide Noctis to sacrifice himself for Eos. I felt that this was hastily written and not complete, despite that I too want the characters to find an alternative to eradicate the starscourge.

i wonder if there would be a Final Fantasy XV - 2 tho, and that the story would take place...maybe with a year after FFXV, from the original ending, or during the reset where noctis and his friends were 'reborn' to where noctis was sent away by regis to get married to Luna, but this time, Arydn never existed...... great now I got the Sailor moon lore mixed up into this...

[@thelostking1025]

Whoa I almost thought Noct was about to warp strike ignis lol

[@couchpaotato857]

I finished the game yesterday and was crying nonstop because Noctis died!!! Now, im interested on buying the Episode DLCs especially the one with Ignis and Ardyn. Man, I wish this ending is canon! I just want everyone to be alive :(

[@rainhyoh]

This is thee best alternate ending so far

[@ishade]

is it implying that Noctis gave up his hearing for Ignis to keep his eyesight? That would be very bittersweet ngl

[@AzureChaos29]

The phoenix down comic. It happened.

[@Ryan-Ellis]

5 years later and this is my first time seeing this 😲 where have i been

[@toshe67]

If this is the canon eding then there will be part 2. I love this ending than the real ending. I think the creatives rushed on finishing the real ending.

[@Lunam_D._Roger]

No. The real Ending, especially with Royal Edition, is the best one. This one is bad.

[@Windvern]

There's a little problem. For the Starscourge to disappear, the king must use his powers. And contrary to what many people think, he doesn't have to die, it's not a scenario that would be impossible considering the lore, assuming doing so kills Ardyn with everything else. Ardyn didn't have to die to purge the world. However, he absorbed everything which cast a curse on him. What if 2000 years ago, Ardyn refused to sacrifice himself to stay in power, defying the gods, without knowing that it would be that harmful to him. Noctis could be in the same situation. Well, except Noctis was already accepted by the Crystal. So it's not clear how everything works after that. What also isn't clear is how Ardyn managed to do all of that before being accepted by the crystal. But if they did it the same way, it would probably lead to the same output. Maybe the gods insisted on Noctis doing it by sacrificing himself to prevent another curse.

[@jdstearman]

Windvern Ardyn was told by the gods to destroy the starscourge. Instead, he absorbed it, thus disobeying a direct order from the gods, who then deemed him unworthy of becoming the first king, giving the title to Ardyn's brother, Somnus Izunia.

[@eigelgregossweisse9563]

Somnus Izunia Caelum, Ardyn Lucis Caelum to Somnus Lucis Caelum? Or Ardyn Izunia?

I wonder if in this alternative ending if Noct and Iris became a thing.

[@Jmcelwain17]

joshua frazier it probably would've taken awhile but yeah. Iris totally would've at least confessed.

[@ethanjennings5007]

It’s depressing that Iris had more character development than Luna :/

[@froggymonsta917]

Well we also kinda have to remember she was only 15 when Noct was 20 and while the game can show a crush a girl has on an older boy (its quite normal) they can't show anything more until after the time skip and by then I don't think Noct would even want to date for awhile after what he went through. Of course that's just my opinion. (They would be cute though😊)

[@Apple_Apporu]

Raven Moniz theres a reason why iris has a crush on noct its in the anime and in her bio

[@escase3995]

Possibly, she really was persuasive lol. It's a shame we didn't get to see her grown up

[@heythenameiselliott2673]

I just want an ending with Luna and Noct alive, married and together! Maybe even with a kid as king and queen!

[@Twitch_Bear]

this ending is so underwhelming... the original ending was better, and its more fitting end to the series. they can just do what FFX did, they made X-2 just to revive Tidus as secret ending. they can do that with the incoming DLC. ep: Luna (events before after her death) and ep: Ardyn (events before and after his death) both endings are them meeting in the place before the afterlife, Luna got captured by Ardyn for something-something so he can go back to life. then make a final episode DLC, where Luna call for help to Noctis during his sleep, wake up, used his powers to go wherever they are, Solo. fight some past enemies and bosses they encountered. the fight Ardyn for the last time. rescue her and bring her back to life. that scene you saw in the original ending will play and extended to reveal his friends entering the throne to go and fetch him to meet his friends, allies and people outside the castle cheering them, cause its actually his coronation of the new king and queen. the end... thats how you do a happy ending. and it fits pretty well.

[@grubbyarmadillo9863]

arsetothem I hope they go according with your plan!

[@lloydswaggedout]

Naw this ending was better than original. That one was underwhelming

[@Twitch_Bear]

the original was the perfect bittersweet ending, sure, its a little vague, but most people interpret it that they both died and finally together forever. specially the part where the complete logo appeared at the end. the feels! besides i think this is not an alternate ending, but a incomplete part of the whole ending (also includes the first ending), as soon as the other DLC comes, more scenes will be added, and more questions answer. who knows, maybe ardyn is still lingering somewhere for a final fight and maybe able to bring back luna. and the original ending is probably them alive, just chilling on the repaired castle, and those flower petals are probably from his coronation OR royal wedding.

[@lloydswaggedout]

arsetothem but if that’s the case then wat was the whole purpose of the take back the kingdom crap

[@Twitch_Bear]

Lloyd James they already did, even if noctis died, his friends are still there to make sure, rebuild it. The citizens, soldiers and nobles that are scattered around the world can come back. Sure it won't be a kingdom anymore, but at least it's back on its feet. Besides it felt empty without Luna.

[@jrmorrow2]

Rumor has it that there was cut content were when you meet Ardyn in Insomnia you would have the choice to fight him like the base game, or team up with him to fight Bahamut and fight against fate.

so basically if ignis wasn't late and was actually earlier than noctis by a few minutes or hours the story would've changed by this much where they don't die? damn man seriously why didn't we go for this ending in the first place

Can somebody pls tell me what game comes after xv I wish there was a sequel but hopefully there’s another as good as this one

[@darak612]

This will be the happy ending if Luna live in the end like Noctis :”(

[@rjfaye05]

I prefer the original ending as it explains the reason of the movie Kingsglaive and the fate of Lunafreya, Noctis and even Gentiana aka Shiva and the ring. This is just a twist ending but if you want to understand the real story behind, it really goes to the original ending. Noctis father and Lunafreya already foresaw this future.. they knew that the ring which Noctis could held will make Ardyn mortal and stop his scourge and bring light back to the world at the cost of his own life. It took10 long years because Noctis was not ready during the time he was absorbed by the crystal. It is indeed a tragic ending. The rest of the ending is not really messed up. It was made for players to creatively think what happens afterwards.. some say, all of them died, some say the three is alive. What I can say is I enjoyed the game and for me, the ending is that all of them died fulfilling their duties, the scene where the three bids farewell while Noctis goes up the stairs to enter the room with the throne and they stayed behind while daemons appeared, to me, that scene is an interpretation of their downfall while standing their ground for Noctis to stop Ardyn. The rest is alive in hammerhead and as mentioned, all survivors are safe in Lestallum including Cindy, Iris, Cid and Aranea

[@Miyavisgirl1540]

Yeah, I like this ending WAY better. ^^!

[@ASLTheatre]

So much more satisfying ending than the first time I played it.

[@Articulatedcopy]

They should have added Ravus to the main party, there should have been more time spent in the latter part of the time gap, it would have felt more like a final fantasy if these things had happened.

[@AvengeBasketball]

SE should have let us picked our ending on how we played it. That would be the perfect game.

[@chriskoloski32]

I dont know how to feel about this ending, I was kinda perfectly happy that Noctis was reunited with Lunafreya after giving his life to save the world

[@shirahime23]

I'm torn. The original ending has so much impact. This ending, though, is what many desire: a dawn where Noct has saved Eos, has undergone, completed and bested the trials that had been set in store for him; he is now the one, true King of Lucis. The original ending stays true to the consequence of accepting one's fate. This ending, however, acknowledges the weight of the burden on Noct's shoulders and makes winning synonymous with living. Either one is pretty good, in my opinion. But if I could be honest in my heart of hearts, I would want for Noct to have both fulfilled the prophecy, given Ardyn the rest and peace and justice that he deserved, and be triumphant enough to earn the rest of his life back as both king and simply Noct. More than anything, it was the second bit that Regis wanted for his son more than anything. It's the reason why he said never told Noct about his fate, wanting to protect his son: he wanted Noct to live an ordinary, unencumbered life for as long as he could. With the Scarscourge having been banished, I believe Regis, both as a father and a king, would have rejoiced knowing that Noct had kept his promise to Eos, but that to make things fair, he would want Noct to be free to pursue a life of his own, outside the complicated tangle of all of the Astrals' machinations. With his chocobros at his side.
