yeah but still he has to do the sacrifice to kill the villain i think ardyn i havent played this game in years btw but yeah noctis has to take his sacrifice. I understand people dont like seeing peoples sacrifices but still they have to at that point but your right its heartbreaking i cried at this scene

[@jefmarquez2863]

What even more heart breaking is that Regis himself was the final strike... keep in mind that there are thirteen royal weapons starting from the sword of the wise, the very first royal weapon you get in the game, to the thirteenth which is the sword of the father which happens to be Noctis’s father’s sword... which was the final blow before he goes to face ardyn in the afterlife

Pathetic

[@BlazingJM5]

When Noctis ask his father to trust him, I like to think that it not that Regis didn't trust in Noctis but he wanted to defy Noctis's destiny more than anyone. It could also be the reason why he tried to make peace with the empire even if he knew it would fail. He tried his best to protect Noctis as a father would to protect his son.

[@VICTORcardosoCardoso]

☺

[@DevilHunter1994]

Honestly that line always bothered me. It really doesn't seem to fit the moment. Regis is hesitating because he doesn't want to kill his son and Noctis is pushing him to do what must be done. Like you said, it was never an issue of trust in the first place. I think a better line would have been "It's okay dad....I've made my peace. I'm ready now."

[@xFirebird925x]

Good point. I was slightly confused by that line too. Translation error maybe? idk.

[@brute-]

DevilHunter1994 In the Japanese dub, Noctis actually said in literal translation: "Dad... I will leave it to you" which in a way makes more sense than the English dub, since it doesn't imply that Regis does not trust Noctis

[@ElCyberiusOrchestra]

Yup... He just couldn't do it, so Noct basically said:It's OK, dad. It has to be done. And just a wonderful detail - when Noct starts to lift his head Regis strucks him. He couldn't bear to look him in the eyes one last time before killing him. If that ain't utterly heartbreaking I don't know what is. What a cruel fate.

SK The line is so much more powerful when you realize how far Noctis has come. He started out as a naive prince who just wanted to be happy with Luna. Then he lost everything. His home, his father, the love of his life, everyone besides his three friends. And it's because of them he grew and matured into the King of Kings. He claimed his birthright and was willing to die for everyone.

[@engweimin]

It wasn’t a true tradegy tho, cause Noctis achieved his goal n saved the city. And in the afterlife he is reunited with Luna.

[@Theraim]

To anyone asking. The bros didn't die, the campfire scene is actually a flashback to a previous campfire which wasn't explained until, as you can see, the ending itself. Luna and Noctis ARE dead, the ending is symbolic as you can see from the logo, they both go to their peaceful slumber, you can't even say it's afterlife it's just a symbolic way to explain they are forever in death (ofcourse, you could say they ARE going to be together in afterlife, but that's not the point of the scene). Noctis sacrificed himself to end the lucis line, save the world and end the deaths of other people, as it suggested many times along the game, so many people die for noctis, now it's his turn to die for the sake of Others. Ofcourse, this is my now favorite ending in the series without question. Thank you Tabata.

[@Theraim]

yeah, i mean, it can be the afterlife and there's nothing to prove it wrong but the fact that the picture that they chose is the one of slumber, peace, sleep...can be interpreted a symbol of a peaceful death, reunited in a last journey to the afterlife. I mean I don't feel they would celebrate a new life in the afterlife with the image of sleep.

[@Zeik188]

It just seems super stupid for them to have killed the other three off screen and seems way more likely that it was a flash back to the campfire they had right before they set out to the city.

@@andreasolaquesada1736 The campfire scene without a doubt is one of the biggest swells in character development and emotional storytelling I've seen in a game. Nothing quite comes close to bittersweet closure like that moment did. And then to have the fight still ahead, yet to come, was really awesome.

[@JPMPranks]

The rest of the bros didn't die... They survived the attack of all those daemons in Gralea, and they weren't even in their prime. Ten years later they're absolute bosses, and badass Ignis is back. Of course they could handle a couple of daemons while Noctis was fighting Ardyn. They're the ones who will rebuild the world.

The scene with Noctis and Lunafreya sitting on the throne with the ORIGINAL Final Fantasy theme playing and the title “Final Fantasy XV” cane up made me cry more than the campfire scene

[@Elemental2000]

The final scene in the throne room at 15:00 has to be my favourite in the game. The music, the flashbacks, coming full circle to where things began... everything is perfect. There's so much emotional subtlety to this scene. I love how Noct and his father never make eye contact, almost as though it's too difficult for Regis to bear witnessing the fate of his son. When Regis takes up his sword at 17:30 to make the final strike, Noctis is looking at the floor. Regis hesitates unable to deliver this final blow... Then just as Noctis starts looking up, Regis strikes, almost as though seeing his son's face and making eye contact would be too much to bear and he would not be able to fulfill his destiny and make that final strike. FF Forever!

You have to watch Brotherhood and Kingslaive to get a better understanding of the game in my opinion. But I agree one hundred percent. So much beauty in this game.

I cried rivers during the last camping scene, what a waste of time (not talking about traveling into the past and that stuff). His friends even didn’t complain, were acting like always… poor philantropic Noct. Storys mainly about (not changing) fate and sacrifices are not good for me, i think.

That's why in one trailer Regis was crying and holding his son close while a 3 or 4 year old Noctis was quietly sleeping.

[@Mystrohan]

I love what happens at 11:40. Ardyn, having lost to Noctis, is finally able to voice his greatest and most deeply hidden fear - that even THIS doesn't mean the gods are done with him yet and there's still more torture in store for him. And Noctis, bless him, understands and forgives Ardyn. "This time... you can rest in peace." Reassurance for a traumatized soul that's suffered so much. Noctis became a good king, able to offer his hand in empathy even to the most broken and downtrodden of the Lucians.

[@darkXtacy]

Was there even a world left to save? Ardyn had a decade of free roam and seemingly destroyed the world. 10 years without sun and almost everyone else should've died of starvation.

[@RedfurredPikachu]

Well every human was gathered either at lestalum or hammerhead, so there are still humans left which meant there was still a chance to save the world.

[@azazel166]

I don't think Ardyn really wanted to destroy the world. Perhaps he came into the conclusion that the Starscourge would never go if the Crystal kept on existing, plus he had this immortality curse to deal with(which IMO was starting to take a toll on his sanity). So throughout the story, Ardyn refined Noctis' resolve by stabbing Luna, and playing all these mind games with him so he could goad him into killing him(both in the Physical and Spiritual realm), and then sacrifice himself to destroy the crystal and eradicate the Starscourge forever. So this whole revenge thingy might have been a bluff on Ardyn's part, to trick the group, the Astrals and the Crystal into thinking that he was indeed crazy and wanted revenge by destroying the world. Basically, there were two conclusions to this, Ardyn was freed from the curse and he could finally rest in peace, and world was saved from the Starscourge. Sure, he could have told Noctis, and the party his plans, but then the Astrals and the Crystal would have caught wind of them, and refuse to cooperate(I mean come on, can you convince a god to sacrifice himself to save the world, and abandon his rule?). Mind you, that this is all speculation.

[@FandeJay]

From what we heard from the time it was still FF Versus XIII, here's what the story was supposed to be like: The kingdom of Lucis was plunged in eternal darkness...but no one cared, for it was a society that worshipped Death (Etro). Indeed, people who went through near-death experiences had been given a small glimpse of Etro's power, allowing them to do the kind of things we see in the actual game. Noctis was one of those people. He was also the heir to the Royal Family of Lucis, which operated more like a mafia than an actual monarchy. As the holders of the last Crystals, they had basically the rest of the world under their thumb. Another person with the powers of Etro was Stella, and she was, originally, supposed to be the Final Boss. Indeed, the attacks on the kingdom of Lucis were motivated by Nifleheim, which actually wanted Lucis to share their power with the world instead of dominating the world (at the time, Lucis was the only "modern" kingdom in the world, the rest being more medieval like.) So originally, you were supposed to be the BAD GUY of the story!! And if you remember well the very, very first trailer of Versus XIII, we see Noctis sitting on his throne, alone and depressed, waiting for waves of soldiers to repell single-handedly. That meant that he had actually achieved supreme power...and was more alone than ever since, having killed Stella, he had lost the only person who could understand him, the only glimpse of light in his world.

[@FandeJay]

And instead of this really original and interesting story? We get a cheesy love story and a generic chosen-one adventure...

[@wiseguy240Winston]

FandeJay That's because SE was scared to death that with the XIII brand and mythos it wouldn't catch the attention of fans. I just beat the game, loved the game in general but the final boss, ending and story missions mostly were ok, left a bad taste in my mouth like chapter 9 and 12 or the leviathan and final boss battle or was meh. The side quest and free roam is where this game shines.

[@Deadflower20xx]

wiseguy240 Winston Thing is the lore and world of Xiii was one of its best parts honestly, so dropping the fabula nova chrysallis universe was a bad move imo. Especially when they already put so much work into the story, them having to revamp the world may have contributed to the game being slightly rushed. I'm happy with what we got, but I honestly thought the mythos of type 0 and 13 is pretty great. In XV now as far as the gods go, Ifrit is bad, while all others are good when proven worthy. Was a fair bit more complex in XIII, but the whole starscourge thing was fairly interesting at least, with ardyn becoming impure due to it and getting rejected by the gods.

[@wiseguy240Winston]

***** I wholeheartedly agree it should have stayed in the FNC. The starscourge resembles chaos from the FNC their are also parts with crystal shards floating around like the FNC.

For what I’m used to in a Final Fantasy, this game may not have checked all the boxes, but the ending sequence was something it nailed. Made it worth the experience!

[@adamclark8994]

I just finished Final Fantasy XV this evening and all I can say is that it's one great game. It's now my 3rd favourite Final Fantasy. I liked the story despite it's faults, I really liked the characters, loved the gameplay, the music and the game looks gorgeous. The game gives you everything you want from a Final Fantasy game, the feels, the emotions and there is so much good about this game. I wouldn't say it's the best Final Fantasy but it's definitely one of the best ones. I will be playing this game again and do everything I possibly can in the game, all the side quests, dungeons, etc. Although the game could have been better it still delivered and impressed me. It gives hope to the series and for Square to make more Final Fantasy games. I do wonder what their last Final Fantasy will be though.

[@rasdan1192]

The game may have it's flaws, but i like something that is new from this FF: 1. It's not turn based. A fresh start, although someone may disagree. 2. The Final Fantasy Logo changes Ingame (after you completed it) 3. The MAIN protagonist dies (Tidus is not count since he's back, Squall's condition was a cliffhanger) What i really wish in NG+: 1. Play as Young King Regis. 2. Noctis in an Phantom (Astral? KOTR?) Knights armor.

[@deliverygod4981]

I'm glad they died and stay dead. I'm sick of people coming back to life.

[@rasdan1192]

Deliverygod It gives a realistic touch to it.

[@ninja0329]

Deliverygod don't forget the bullshit ass pull from XIII where everyone suddenly reverts back to being human before the final boss due to friendship or whatever

[@bonnie1020a]

MischiefReaper I think that was because due to their friendship they didn't fail their focus thingy and so got another chance.

[@ninja0329]

Bonnie1020Production Yea the constant arguing, the threatening, and killing between the group really feels like the bonding Charles Manson appreciates. And even if their so called "friendship" was the case then why not every other person who became a L'Cie with their "friendship" turn back into humans then. XIII just screams bullshit all around and the plot holes are obvious to the point where the story collapses in on itself.

That Amano artwork of Noctis when the logo changes at the end looks so fucking awesome.

[@hashtag.ethanz]

Why is it referred to a secret scene/ending when you regularly get to see it?

[@blasianFMAOfficial]

because the poster wants views

[@Suave2459]

Am I the only one who actually felt the suspense leading up to this fight and the epic ness of it and the weight of Noctis' decision? I enjoyed this ending a lot but some stories don't always have happy endings for the characters.

[@Mestephra]

This scene has much more impact now that we got episode Ardyn. They all were pawns all along...

[@firesprite1123]

Even Ardyn’s brother was a pawn used in Bahamut’s game on lies and deceit. As much as I like Noct I was in 100%agreement with Ardyn. Dude got screwed by the gods and was expected to just take it

today i beat the game i feel very unhappy now-.- i feel empty and unforfilled now

[@MEGMA4R]

like something is missing in the game everything was so tragic

[@MEGMA4R]

yeah your right they could easily made a better story out if it but they wanted to release the game as quickly as they can maybe thats why the story is so confusing i like the fact that there is a time skip but it felt like he wait so long (10Years ) only to die at the end it qould be better if he survived and you continue to play him as an adult king who build his castle again become a father and live a happy life

[@Bajanprince67]

Belmont There's no lack of backstory for the relationship between Noct and Regis. Watch all the anime episodes that they released

[@MEGMA4R]

i watched every anime adoptation and it make no sense at all i watched kingsglaive too so Echelon doont tell me that this furfilles everything

[@Bajanprince67]

Belmont What're you talking about? Almost every game that exist, has some type of lore, that's not included in the game. You can't put everything in the game. The focus of this game, wasn't relationships between Noctis and his father. That's why they made the anime episodes. I don't understand how you see that ass a problem. If anything, it's dope, because they went all out, and created the episodes and the movie.

[@Beatty003]

To me it seems like the 10 year gap that Noctis went missing would be a perfect opportunity for a large DLC storyline that flashes back to Noctis and King Regis’ storyline. We see his kingdom all in shambles at the end but we never get to explore it while it was in its former glory. =/

[@notoriousbig3k]

their kingdom fell in to Niflheim remember they conquerd in XIII story line this kingdom 200y after God Hero Noctis died

[@johnvillalobos66]

Zac Beatty the comrades dlc supposedly takes place in the 10 year span that noctis is gone my dude

that's why we have he anime

19:33 the music building, the extreme pain of the royal arms coming out, Somnus catching his blade out front, Regis floating highest in the back left. Bad 👏 ass!

[@FLEX09PRESTON]

Great Ending! Very different to end this game as a bitter sweet ending than the typical the hero survives death. Each Final Fantasy protagonist has survived from their near-death experiences for example.. FF7 cloud was saved by Tifa multiple times, FF9 Zidane miraculously survived the destruction of the Giant tree, Tidus was brought back in FF10-2. Glad this was different and sorta like a Shakespeare story. Great Job Square Enix for saving this series from that devil of FF13

[@EclipseHedgehog]

Larry Preston it's practically shakespear. a revenge tragedy. it's a mix between hamlet and Romeo & Juliette.

[@Siberianhusky89]

Oh yeah. Cause Galuf and Aerith totally came back.

[@FLEX09PRESTON]

Eclipse its a great story! I'm ready for the DLC to explain some of the small details though.

[@Siberianhusky89]

Larry Preston On a Final Fantasy scale for story, the story was a 2/10

[@Siberianhusky89]

Yeah. Cool. The game ended how 99% of books end. Never heard that story before.

The campfire scene is by far the broest of bro moments. Bro...

[@xlynn1987]

Man, seeing Noctis do the "SITTING POSE" on his throne gave me goosebumps; albeit in a lighter setting, it will always be his iconic pose from VERSUS to XV for me. 😭

[@carloscuyos1370]

I played and finished the game on 2016. And after 6 years, i played it again with all the dlcs, updates, corrections, additions, etc. Still what a blast! Even had more fun! and man oh man…. the ending still left me broken. Damn it Mr. Tabata!!! Now only left is to read the book “Dawn of the future.” (Already on delivery). Can’t wait!!!

[@Kikiouiki]

So this is basically the story of Jesus Christ, one dude getting all the evil of the world into him and saving the world by dying.

[@georginafester4322]

@@lebro4401 lmao😂

[@JaejoongPrincess]

It's the same theme in a lot of Hollywood movies. A savior saving the world. I was thinking same about Yahushuah vs Gadreel pronounced as God-ra-el (Satan's real name recorded in the book of Enoch). Yahushuah went to where Gadreel was located when he was dead for those few days before being resurrected and took back the keys of death. Now Yahushuah holds power to life and death and no longer belong to Gadreel. I always imagined that something similar happened like in the FF15 ending scene.

[@Sentinel82]

@@JaejoongPrincess was Satan's real name not Lucifer? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@JaejoongPrincess]

@@Sentinel82 Lucifer is a title, not a name. Lucifer means a light bearer. Lucifer, Satan, God, Lord, father, Holy Spirit, Healer, Jehovah, abba etc are not names, but titles. Jesus is the name of the false messiah who will come and rule the world during tribulation in the Book of Revelation. The messiah's real name is Yahushuah, but his name was removed from all translations including Yahuah (father's name) and his spirit Yah Ruach Hakodesh and is also a female spirit not a male like the translations would have you believe. Let me explain why I believe what I believe. Christianity, one of the most fastest growing religion on earth is the end-time great deception. The MessiYAH name is not Jesus, its YAHushuah! HalleluYAH! It's true! YAHushuah has come in his father's name YAHuah! That Hebrew name is important because it's the only name that we can be save. Yahushuah means salvation or Yah saves, especially during the times of tribulation. Because of mercy and grace, out of ignorance, Yahushuah moves and answers to the name of Jesus. Yahuah moves in the name of God, Lord, Father etc and the Yah Ruah Hakodesh moves in the name of the Holy Spirit (which are all titles and not actual names) but all of this won't be so in the days of tribulation. How can Yahushuah answer to the name of Jesus when the false messiah will be called Jesus Christ? How can Yahushuah answer to those who cry out "Jesus Jesus, please save me" and the false messiah will say "Here I am." Satan have a right to those who call on the wrong name. This why that Hebrew name YHVH is important, especially in these last days. You can't find the word salvation in the name of Jesus when you break it down and it's meaning like you do with the name of Yahushuah. Yahushuah also has a hidden message to all evil occultist working for darkness who loves following the law of reversal. Yahushuah name backwards is this. "Who's right hand that will destroy the establishment of the eye." I assume that you are not aware of satan represented as the establishment of the eye (pyramid logo with an eye) and is worshipped as one in occult organizations and secret societies like Freemasonry. Jesus will the end-time false messiah. When you break down the name of Jesus, you will get "filthy pig and beast in the earth. "I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon". Revelation 13:11-18 (NKJV) Sounds like the Baphoment if you ask me. Jesus that is less than 500 years old and created by Constantine who was a pagan worshiper of Esus and Krishna. Yah's name can be found in all creations even on our facial structure, inside our bodies and even our DNA has his name written on it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZ64eYyOiMybp80 Satan had his hand in the translations to hide the true name of the creator. Satan replaced the name of YHVH with the first syllable of his name. Satan is not a name, but a title. Satan that the Holy Bible speak of has a personal name like everybody else and his name is mentioned in the Book of Enoch chapter 69:6. Gadreel has his own offsprings through the sons of Cain to do his will in the earth and to wage war with Yahuah and to kill the sons of Adam. It's a war between bloodlines in the earth. Anyway, I'm getting off topic. Satan also blasphemed the Yah Ruach Hakodesh by changing the gender from she to he. Not only did he changed the gender which is the core of Satanism and the occult through baphomet worship, he also changed the name from the Yah Ruach Hakodesh to the Holy Spirit. Satan used one of the most influential family on earth during the ancient world that is from his seed line to mimick the family in heaven who rule Heaven and earth in unison and that family is the trinity of Babylon. The son (Nimrod) of Satan (Gadreel) is Jesus Christ who will become the end time false messiah. Jesus Christ is (Druid healing sun god) Esus or Hesus Krishna the healing god (Indian god) created by Constantine the Great. Krishna means Christ originated from the Indian Sankrit. Most people in Freemasonry, secret societies, occult organizations and Satanism know this. All the gods and goddesses in all the religions in the world is Nimrod, his wife and mother Semiramis who was known as the dove and Holy Spirit of Babylon and their son Tammuz who was a shepherd. They're still being worship today in all the world religions including Christianity and other like Christmas (Nimrod as Santa Claws) and Semiramis is in the Starbucks logo, statue of liberty etc. The entire world, all of the world's religion including Christianity and the world beast system is grooming the world for the false messiah. Christianity is nothing but a religion of modern-day Paganism. Did you know that the word Christian is derived from the word cretin or crestin in Greek that means to be stupid, to be an idiot, to be ignorant, to be mentally ill and to be retarded. Even the early so called early church fathers who created Christianity hated a group of people who were followers of Yahushuah and they were not called Christians. They were called the Natsurim people. Lord is the Hebrew word for Baal which is the Baphomet. Bless is from the Old English bletsian or Proto-Germanic blodison meaning hallow with blood or to mark with blood or a blood sprinkling on pagan altars. Amen is the Egyptian sun god bird diety Amen-Ra, the god of the air and wind who is associated with prayers and carries prayers from the dead. There is a lot more stuff that we don't know. Like when you break down the name of Jesus, it means filthy pig/beast of the earth in Latin and most bible covers are created from pig skin. You think that's a confidence? I think not! Than you have souse from pigs that sound and spelled like Isous. Jesus used to be called Isous in the 1611 version, transliteration of Jesus in Greek. Don't take my word for it, please research and see for yourself.

It's Noctis' and Luna's Final Fantasy... OK, I'm crying again now, damnit...

[@makoro9161]

Cyber Orchestra so you are saying that even didnt happen at all and just their wish?

[@Ratzmoonmopes]

Wow reading the comments and nobody is saying anything about the true story. For anyone reading this, try thinking about the entire game as being a reality that never happened. Immediately after noctis dies, IMMEDIATELY, time reverses back to the beginning scene of the game. Go back to the corresponding scene at the beginning of the game with the car, and as soon as the cutscene starts, you will see the sky and telephone poles. You will also hear the a weird distorted sound effect. This sound effect is the sound of time reversing. Give me another explanation as to why that sound effect was intentionally put there. And to anybody that wants to know why time is reversing, it's called Carbuncle, and how did Noctis get Carbuncle to always follow him? King Regis made a carbuncle statue for Noctis in brotherhood, so he would always be safe. "I'll never let anyone hurt you" he says. Carbuncle is the reason Noctis almost never dies in the game. When noctis dies time is reversed until he gets the ending that King Regis wanted for him, which is the scene at the end with Luna and Noctis happily ever after.

[@leecrawford5136]

Ratzmoonmopes this would scarily be consistent with the fabula nova crystalis mythology were the two falcie goddesses from type0 keep on repeating time until they get THEIR desired ending. but no I don't think that's the case with XV no no no it can't be no.

[@SierraRailway]

Unfortunately, that's not the way it works. As Bahamut stated, the usurper can only be banished and the light restored at the cost of the chosen's life, there is no other way. Noctis could have gone on living if he'd wanted to, but the world would remain in darkness. Instead, he chose to make the ultimate sacrifice and give his life to save the world.

[@Stanehable]

That is shit.I would be genuinly upset if that is how the "true story " would be. It is on par of "It was a dream all along.Or was it?" ending.Who would want that? Make entire story within span of game pointless,invadilated. Kind of like ending of Mass Effect 3.Only thing that would be worse is bringing back Lightning in middle of story and making her protagonist with how much Japan loves her. But well it is my opinion .

[@Ratzmoonmopes]

Blarghton It doesn't ruin anything to me.

[@faytleingod4848]

I´m on your side on this one, Ratz. There is no one "true" meaning behind art like this. You can interpret the ending either way so why should one follow the more tragic one if you could get a happy end the protagonist so much deserved? You can argue either way: Bahamut stated a sacrifice is needed to turn the world back to normal? Well, Noctis did that. He showed courage beyond compare and the world was back to normal; including Noctis himself, as a well deserved reward for his noble act. Him not hesitating confronted with his own death is what makes it even more likely for him to be turned back to live: He simply deserved it from a moral point of you. A godlike creature like Bahamut doesn´t nedd to state those kind of acts of benevolence beforehand. In fact, it would have ruined Noctis´ sacrifice as it wouldn´t have been one with him having the guarantee to be revived. It´s a bit like Tidus from FFX. He knew at the end of the first game that he was about to vanish after defeating SIN. But a noble sacrifice like his should be honored and rewarded and so it was in the sequel ;)
