i like the way the game ended. when it comes down to it, both of these men were promised something that was torn from them for no honorable reason. all ardyn wanted to do was die. after living for all those years worth all of that guilt and rage and misery weighing down on him, he just wanted to die and have his revenge. we also shouldn’t forget that ardyn and noctis are two sides of the same coin. both had their beloved’s torn from them, and ardyn himself calls it out during the fight. this isn’t a fight between gods, it’s a fight between two men who just want it to be over.

Arydn one of two (I believe) villains who in the end accomplished his goal and ended the lucis caleium bloodline the only other villain ( again I believe ) was Kefka so, arydn makes it onto my list of favorite villains of the final fantasy series, not only is he memorable but he also had a way of making the players feel sympathetic towards him as he fall from grace is not his fault In fact the irony is that in ayrdn trying to do good he became evil but I will always remember him
@GamerXZ07 жыл бұрын
Not gonna lie, just beat FFXV yesterday and while I feel they could have done some things better with the game overall, I felt Ardyn was pretty damn solid of a villain. Is he perfect? No, but he's definitely in my top 5 Final Fantasy Villains. I think another thing I'm relieved about is because he's the actual villain. You know, as opposed to quite a lot of those bait and switches the series is known for.
@danielramirez55747 жыл бұрын
Ayrdn is a good villain, he is very memorable and his past is shrouded in darkness and sadness the whole story of final fantasy XV is preparation for the final battle with ayrdn (although i wish thy made it more challenging to the player maybe, base his stats off noctis's current stats so that way it feels like an amazing final battle between two kings clashing against each other with the powers of the old kings) through out the game noct collects blessings from the gods and obtains the royal arms binding his soul to those of the old kings but this is exactly what ayrdn had wanted he knew he was to powerful to defeat by any normal means so he let noct obtain the power of the crystal so that when noct paid the blood price to final defeat ayrdn the lucis calieum bloodline would die with the both of them also glad he didn't change sides but i didn't think he would because he was hell bent on vengeance and ending the lucis caleium. (if you want to challenge yourself after beating the story then play the steyliff menace dungeon and encounter and army of tomberry's each instilling more dread than the last and each being able to one hit anyone in your party unless they have 9,999 health so have fun suffering like i did)

The boss fight being easy is likely due to the fact that he was originally programmed/planned to be multi-phase, with like demonic deformation forms and stuff, likely ending with an amalgam form similar to the likes of the SNES era FF final battles. This, like many other post Altissia and even some pre story moments, had to be cut since Square held them to the contract to finish before 2016's end Nomura signed back in 06 This is also why Tabata is currently working on free patch DLC called the booster pack.

@KailReborn7 жыл бұрын
Ardyn does harbour Daemons within him, but he doesn't seem to gain any actual powers from that, he may be able to summon them but why would he have gone to all of the trouble of allowing Noctis to gain all of his powers only to not fight him as an equal? He wanted a one-on-one battle to determine who deserved that power, and redeem himself by earning his vengeance. And while it's true he had far more time to master his abilities, he seems to have become somewhat complacent and thus didn't have the constant growth and drive to improve that Noctis did, he likely thought himself unstoppable in his own hubris and that was his downfall. (And, after all, wouldn't you? Having that kind of power with nothing to really compare to you would give anyone a boosted ego.)

I take issue with the final boss of this game. First, consider what is a final boss supposed to be in a game. Imo, it's a final test of the player's mechanical skill and game knowledge that's been acquired throughout the game. This game, instead, removes your party members, removing one of the core components of the game. And then, in phase 2, the game abandons the mechanics of the game entirely and replaces them with this cinematic sky battle that's won by holding down 'O'. I was dearly hoping for another phase of the fight where Noctis joins back up with his bros and had a true showdown with a god-like Final Fantasy style final boss. There was the set up for that at the end (in space, and demon tears and everything), calling upon the power of his friends and loved ones to deliver the final blow to Ardyn. But instead of a proper fight, we get a QTE.
@MekkahDee7 жыл бұрын
I agree, but from I've read from (unconfirmed) rumours, the final showdown was supposed to be against a transformed Ardyn, in what would have been a proper boss battle, but due to the time constraints that haunted the game's development it was neutered to this.

If only Ardyn was more fleshed out and built up as a villain. There should have been more to him, cause what he has as a concept is pretty great.
@deeanigonzalez99657 жыл бұрын
Despite many characters and points they really need to flesh out, I disagree with this one. I think Ardyn was done very well, showing every range of his character and motivations in the subtleties of his tones and expressions in his scenes. This was a very strong point in my opinion.
@OsnosisBones7 жыл бұрын
The in-dev booster pack DLC does plan to flesh out most of the antagonists, among other things, but from what I gather it's more for Ravus and the empire as a whole, as well as making the jump-cuts int eh story actual story moments, making Luna join sooner so the players can actually get to know her before the climax in Altissia, and of course the very likely plant o make the Empire map they made actually explorable (or at least give the train a bunch more stops instead of like 3)
@stormcutter597 жыл бұрын
Deeani Gonzalez I dont think so. We dont even know hes the main bad guy until the end. Hes revealed so abruptly and we just waltz into the final battle just like that. Plus they explained his motivations way too quickly. We dont even know who or what he was. Was he a King? An Oracle? I certainly didnt pick up on it

@SunlethSky7 жыл бұрын
Malcolm Swoboda XIII-2's DLC didn't give a real ending, since it was abundantly clear there was going to be a sequel (which explained everything perfectly anyway). Granted the Lightning chapter shouldn't have been DLC at all but still. As for this game I'm relatively sure they decided to leave the ending open to interpretation, possibly due to internal problems, possibly due to not wanting to disappoint anyone. I doubt the DLC planned for XV will delve into that, but hey, I could be wrong.
@SwobyJ7 жыл бұрын

@SunlethSky7 жыл бұрын
Malcolm Swoboda Still the same point - we knew there was going to be a sequel, you could play XIII-2 without the DLC, play LR afterwards and still know roughly what was going on. It wasn't a "real ending" so much as an optional interlude to LR.
@ZealSeraph7 жыл бұрын

@OsnosisBones7 жыл бұрын
This...is the real ending. The only story DLC plans they really have beyond the character episodes is the Booster Pack DLC that will overhaul and lengthen a large majority of the main story, and likely make both the empire and dark world explorable like originally planned...and that's free DLC, unlike the episodes, so.

there was actually more phases planned, but they had to be cut like most things in the second half because Square wouldnt let Tabata hold the game off another 6 months due to the contract Nomura signed in 06. Hence why only a week later Tabata pointed out he plans to make a huge story overhaul DLC called the booster pack that will be a free download, but also pointed out it will be a while due to how much of the plot he'll need to shift around, as well as the voice acting and dub work that it will entail.
