Is the wedding scene of Noctis and Luna real?

[@michellechen8461]

Father of the year award anyone?

[@GenesisXV]

Michelle Chen He surely deserves it

[@monkeyswag57]

Michelle Chen more like father of the millennium lol.

[@johnrivera6154]

Michelle Chen more like.. father of the timeloop

[@greyfox6786]

which year?

[@isctaylor109]

Final Fantasy 15 is one of my all time favorite games

[@DanZan]

high five ! *clap*

[@melissagibbs6762]

Isaac Taylor Same!

[@Brynhildrify]

then u like crap games lmfao

[@RealtusMaximus]

@@Brynhildrify And you have the qualities that outmatched thousands of dedicated developers and staff on making that game? Go apply now in *SE.*

[@leoh.4439]

I have always wondered why Regis said in the wedding scene, "Wayward my son may indeed be". I thought it was because Noctis was reluctant to be king. Now I realize that Noctis was " wayward " because he kept fumbling down the timelines and couldn't achieve the ending where he and Luna found happiness. mind blown.

[@Coolvideobrokfjdjd]

That's the stupidest thing I've heard all week.

[@Moonwatery]

+Zack Cadee haaaaahaa.

[@InnerTriggerer]

so what if changing the title is one of their intention all along ?

[@ryuichimiyazaki5620]

I wouldn’t read too much into the word wayward… It’s not in the Japanese version so I’m guessing it just how they decided to translate it In Japanese it’s 頼りない meaning unreliable which is a common adjective we use to those who we worry about which makes sense coming from Regis

[@kkocicakk]

So, the Omen trailer is alternate reality? And Regis didn't want that version to happen, so we got a new one, the one we play in XV? and also, that wedding at the end is from another atlernate reality, where everything happened how it was supposed to? I must say, this theory is very interesting. I like this idea. These theories are becoming better that the game itself. Soon it will be better to just watch all the videos about these theories instead of playing the game.

[@kkocicakk]

Also, it makes the actual story in the game slowly smaller and shallower a more dumbed down.

[@cloudnomad7758]

KočičáK I feel like the omen trailer showed what originally would've happened the first time around with noctis alone as pez pointed out an possibly that the first scene of the game where you see them encountering ifrit, was the most recent attempt an also where they met their most recent end. than it just reverses back to them pushing the car so they can try again

[@sinofson1054]

KočičáK regis look at every alternate time loop,lets say there is 99 different time loop, all 99 time loop noctis become evil, so Regis create his own time loop and make sure to change noctis future (the one we are playing) but it fail like the way Regis want to be, he keep repeat the loop over and over (like the one we are playing) until the last scene, Regis get the future they want to be, they all got their happy ever after.

[@kkocicakk]

That what I understand from it as well. It's a good theory, very likely.

[@sinofson1054]

KočičáK ya, I just wish the story in the game itself was longer and deeper so we can understand what actually happen etc. But my guess is their team dont have enough time since they got a contract when this game should be released, they are rushing, and leave us hanging, but this world have people that are too smart and sharp to make the theory solid.

[@yoredrag-onight4204]

Regis best father of all eternity? So selfless that he would warp the very fabric of reality and time just so his son would live happily ever after no matter how many cycles it would take.

[@ManuelKoegler]

Don't get me wrong Pez, I definitely liked the game, and appreciate the enthusiasm we share for it, but at the end of the day, it would have helped if some of that story "hidden beneath surface" was brought above said surface and actually told. This isn't Dark Souls/Bloodborne we're talking about, FF XV could have definitely used better story telling.

[@MANJYOMETHUNDER111]

You don't really watch these videos, do you? Peasant doesn't think the story was presented well either.

[@Tailslol]

i agree in the theory but why we have to play the most boring timeline first before the great and dark vs13 ;( and so much of the story is just out of the game.

[@ManuelKoegler]

Brian MacLeod because him having an opinion on how the story was represented means I can't share mine, right? So I must not have watched his videos as a result, logic. They screwed up the story telling, simple as that. They don't become better storytellers through the community having to figure things out and or theorize over the course of a few months about what is and isn't because they couldn't tell the story themselves in a clear manner.

[@Tailslol]

sorry but i found the fed ex style quest boring,camera problem and fights annoying,the half finished maps a disgrace and the last dungeon a 3h joke...i liked old school ff i even liked the first ff13 but this one for me is just boring.

[@lunar1745]

Manuel Koegler this is the first game where we speculate like soulsbourne. Let this game go pez, this is a dead horse that SE wants to milk despite this being one of the worst right next to ff13.

[@hellish958]

This is probably the most accurate theory, I have ever heard. *It actually makes sense*

[@raven_izunia]

Lol Pez has come up with a NEW THEO-REH :D

[@ManuelKoegler]

[@RavusNoxFleuret]

[@SMBeech]

glad to see I'm not the only one who thought the omen voice was also Ardyn.

[@ThanksForWatchingYT]

[@GenesisXV]

Thanks For Watching Blaze it!

[@federicoanzola2785]

Ever since 2010

[@irenechal1889]

I'm From You Thank For Watching

[@Vanayume]

This is interesting to think about, especially since rumor has it that all the new cut scenes are going to only be added into the New Game +. So one plays through the game the way it was released, then replay the game on NG+ with all the new cut scenes. It would be amazing if this theory is true and through the NG+ updates, they add in different endings until the true ending is revealed...

[@DanLuxe]

That was the voice of Bahumnt

[@Sophie-eg8ni]

dunno if it is Ardyn's voice, but most definitely isnt Bahamut's voice

[@WonOneWun]

Sophie it clearly is Bashamuts voice, he lives inside the crystal for fucks sakes and it's proven in game when Noctis gets absorbed into it lmao.

[@Makuro_XIII]

Yeap, That's Bahamut's voice. He has seen many deaths (all previous Kings)... but now he is only looking forward to one (Noctis/True King/King of Light). And then, he can finally rest (after fulfilling his duty by curing the Starscourge)..." And like WonOneWun said, the voice is the same on as Bahamut in the Crystal realm.

[@saraanbarestani8482]

lmao the whole time i thought it was eos's voice....

[@lonesomegunslinger1624]

Who needs drugs when you have FFP? lol

[@xionmemoria5939]

Did he just predict episode Ignis?

[@Galante177]

Yes Yes He Did Episode Ignis Kinda Confirmed His Theory

[@jakedeschamps4454]

If this theory was canonical, FFXV's story would be way better! Just patiently waiting for some kind of confirmation....

[@monaskulllll]

Jake Deschamps the hall point is there never going to say shit. for as long as they leave it open we can all choose what we see .

[@BMAN54]

So the whole story of FFXV is one of the many incorrect timelines? and the US Box art and the Wedding scene is the correct timeline?

[@nachtflugel3947]

This is what happens when you release an FF with a lackluster storyline.

[@greyfox6786]

well that's the thing some people want a solid ending where they can say "THE END" I guess you are one of those guys but we also have people like me who doesn't like the simple solid ending.

[@boyzaya15]

ab az Storyline wasn't lackluster considering it wasn't even complete. Not their fault you were too slow to understand it lmaoo

[@xanthespace5141]

Final Fantasy XV is the reason why i'm now a master of Greek mythology ;)

[@koreydaniels3188]

Cloud's Left Ear you're a lil late to the party... Percy Jackson is mine 😂

[@light333]

Amazing theory. I always thought the wedding scene was more than just an afterlife event because why would they show the beginning scene again? It made no sense to show that scene at the end unless they were talking about a time loop. I agree with this. I said in another video that I like it when games make you search for the lore in some capacity, but I think some of these theory videos should have been explained in the game. Not all of them, but definitely some of them should have been included. I think you would agree Pez, based on what you have said in the past.

[@user-ww9sq9sv9d]

Noctis looks older even if the wedding was real

[@brandincruz3763]

Every time you do these theory videos it makes me appreciate the game a whole lot more! there's just too much here that makes sense.

[@cacskl]

You're a beast peasant! Love your work into this, thank you so much, I love FF 15! and I share your appreciation for how in-depth it is through all these discoveries. Much love ;)

[@Aa-dn1oq]

Seems this really was the case. The Dawn of the Future DLCs would have shown a true ending where Noct, Luna, and Arryn finally get a happy ending, as shown in the novelization.

[@steves578]

Sad we never got those DLCs would have been amazing

[@Aa-dn1oq]

​@@steves578 Honestly despite my love for XV I'm glad the new story never made it into official game canon. It completely removed the potency of the original ending and its message for the sake of crowbarring in a generic "friends unite and kill god" story. Noctis sacrifices nothing, Ardyn is forgiven of all his sins, and the original ending is robbed of its emotional weight. It's a story so bad it forces me to be happy that a game I love didn't receive new narrative content.

[@Dj-sf7or]

Damn it peasant this video got me hyped lol I'm loving this game more and more and just finished it yesterday. The ending had me in tears.

[@rnufharose]

Damn, Pez :D your theories just keep getting better and better! Great job!

[@omeedt]

Very interesting theory Pez. After a crappy day at work this was just what I needed. Looking forward to the rest of the theories this week.

[@Joe1744]

Fantastic video and well analyzed...however, there is no way that square enix would go through all that trouble to implement such a complex story concept and leave it completely unexplained and just minor trails of bread crumbs to the point where 99% of the population wouldn't even hint towards any of those possibilities. No chance, not with everything they have invested over the last decade into this game. Love the theory tho, i gotta give it to you, the theories are 10x better then the game is lol

[@FinalFantasyPeasant]

you say that and yet the story of Ifrit and Eos is nigh on irrefutable at this point. Even staff at square enix have acknowledged it. The rock of ravatogh and the tale pitioss was telling is exceptionally obscure and yet there it is. Tabata even said the game would be 'simplistically presented' but with a wealth of depth behind it for people to explore. Seems he wasn't shtting us. And even if time constraints meant huge portions of the story could not have been told. The odds they buried it in obscurity rather than not at all is even higher. I know it's hard to believe so much hidden story would be in the game and yet, it is there! XD

[@LakrimaProject]

I agree, it is serching too deep, it is cool to theoritize, also it makes FFXV content on YT. But can you really belive in all that bullshit? S-E could hint some stuff but it is too much, they would not risk bad salles of what apear as bad plot just to hide most of it for theory fans. That would be dumb. You can discover old map written on a tree deep in the woods and connect it to stars on the sky, but I will be able to find public toliets in my city that also cover the same stars placement. You see what you want to see (and there is nothing like that in FFXV) or development of this game was a huge mistake and S-E shot their foot with ridiculus plot (if it is someway true).

[@Joe1744]

I get what your saying ... but sadly i feel that these kinds of theories are simply people trying to compensate for a pretty lousey story. Everything we saw in the game is exactly what there was, nothing more. All this stuff about the rock of ravatough and ifrit & eos are all coincedence. IF SE are saying that it was there plan to leave it cryptic, i call 100% bullshit and they are simply taking advantage of what people like you who have an imagination and can look outside the box to find clues and analyze the structure of a story and environment. It's very easy for them to turn around and say "ohh yeah thats exactly what we planned" when others have come up with the ideas lol sure they will take credit for it to mask the fact that this game as it is...was a horrible failure. All their efforts to make it look and sound pleasing are just a result of scrambling and "getting their asses out of trouble" And i say that with a heavy heart as i live and breathe final fantasy, it is one of my greatest joys in life aside from my family, travelling and the new england patriots lol (time to get burned now XD) This entire project (soon as it changed from versus 13 to ff15) has been all about western sell out. They definately wouldnt risk making it cryptic and chassing hyroglyphics to weed out the storyline into something worthy of a final fantasy name. And that is from a business perspective. you dont invest millions in hollywood actors and commercialization to leave MAJOR elements like these out of the game, its just stupidity at that point.

[@FinalFantasyPeasant]

sorry but once you see more videos over this week. Notions that dungeons were designed 'by coincidence' and the imagery used in them was 'by chance'. You will see how ridiculous that statement is. You don't design dungeons with over 100+ iconic bits of imagery all for nothing or 'by accident' lmao. Square put great thought into the dungeons

[@usmanalao]

Joe Stefano Yh but I strongly believe in the omen theory. The ending of the game with the whole bros dialogue is the opening to a new timeline where Ardyn doesn't exist since he's been erased from time itself. Square Enix are clever that dialogue was there for a reason

[@MMonshiro]

Keep these coming Pez, can't wait for more.

[@flyinoreocookie6459]

A theory week!! I am so excited, I absolutely love your (and perona77's) theories!

[@ironwolg]

I feel like this might be reaching a bit. If this was the intention of the writers, they did a pretty shit job of expressing it. This is like government conspiracy theory level stuff lol

[@WeWillShowMercy]

When I seen that last scene after all the other credits, I felt that it was just a different outcome because of the main final events. This is making me understand why I felt that way!

[@Ae7herium]

Regis plz, stop making me love you. lol

[@MoistChungus]

I still believe that the voice regis talks to is Bahamut they sound similar and are both from the crystal. side note you can say that there's a cycle where ignis doesn't go blind but I feel it needed to happen to strengthen the groups dynamic

[@wryse1081]

well holy shit arent you psychic, we got exactly that

[@YukihyoShiraki]

Well no, we got the exact opposite where ignis went more than just blind

[@wryse1081]

You havent paid attention have you, he was healed by the crystal immediatly after thanks to noctis saying "help me save my friends", after that he was completely healed

[@shro_okee]

hearing each of your theories about ffxv just makes me see the game from a completely different standpoint, all along with this one, pitioss and many more. its just amazing and makes me reappreciate it in its entirety, thank you so much for this :)))

[@joseroldan9952]

When you still playing Type 0 so you gotta dodge the spoilers every 5 seconds

[@MissSunny42]

What the actual hell. FF just became Dark Souls. Which is not bad in my opinion. I even welcome these theories, as they provide a deeper storyline than any story-served-on-a-silver-spoon could ever do. Thanks a lot for your vids! :)

[@guppyharumi]

I can't wait for the day you finished this theory. because I can't wait to hear the full story! because I can't take in information part by part, I want to hear everything in one video or maybe read it in one story. cause you are cool af!! I am 120% ready for more. seat beats buckled!

[@Eternal_Hange]

Hello, I've been watched no You videos for. Year now almost. There so interesting to watch. I wanted to say that, this theory really did make sense to me, also my friends also agree that I have talked to it about two weeks ago. It makes me, and I see many of us really happy. :) Can't wait to see more.

[@dominicmatlock4579]

Love the theory vids Pez. MORE MORE MORE

I swear, every theory video blows my mind to shreds.

[@soulsemblance3163]

I love your theory video about noctis being half Astral and ardent being related to the goddess. keep up the great work

[@smokeypixels]

My best friend said a similar theory then I seen this and now I LOVE THIS GAME EVEN MORE NOW!! I DON'T CARE HANDS DOWN FAVOURITE FINAL FANTASY GAME! Also... I-I'm not crying you are!

[@slipknot1729]

Great timing!I've literally just finished the entire game

[@Tensai.]

i legit love your videos. what can i say... your (ff) channel's the best.

[@OwtDaftUK]

This is your best theory video yet.

[@denise6234]

interesting how the ending starts with the beginning scenes and the start of the game starts with the infrit battle, one of the ending battles of ffxv

[@JAR501]

Holy shit, this is the final fantasy ive been needing, cheers pez another dope video, going to have to re watching theis again and get every detail

[@byksEBM]

[@emeraldeye14]

This video is what's made me subscribe to your channel, love it!

[@sneakyfox5]

"great googly moogly" Lmao! xD

[@tbspromotions]

I’ve had the game since it came out and I just beat it last week. These videos are great!

[@Shukakachi]

My Jaw drops, PHYSICALLY, LITERALLY EVERY. SINGLE. TIME, you post one of these videos cause....Goddamn...IT ALL MAKES SENSE O_________O AND I'm FREAKING OUT!!!! the title of your vids always get me first though like 'haha nah that sounds crazy' then I watch it and spit my drink out. thank you for these summaries, FFXV is my all time favourite FF now, even if these theories are never put to fact, I think it's ingenious to believe it anyways! fills so many gaps in the game!!

[@alisan3270]

And third, a lot of Stella's design was turned into Ravus. The way she lifts the rapier in one of the early Versus trailers is exactly how Ravus threatens Noctis at the Imperial base. There's even concept art of Ravus looking over his shoulder in a similar pose, with a similar expression as Stella. I think Stella was divided and molded into the Nox Fleuret siblings.

[@GabrielKelly98]

AAAAAAHH I love your videos

[@axel25]

i like your theory. the omen trailer reveal a lot of the history , viva Mexico !!!

[@eiselina606]

FFXV's ending put me in a melancholic mood - I nearly teared up after the final post-credits, so whatever the 'what-do you smoke'-cynics say in the comments, please keep in mind that your FFXV 'explanationÄ videos are not only incredibly fun and educational but they're also truly optimistic. I needed exactly this portion of hope for a happy ending and I found it here, packed with a plausible reasoning to underpin it. Thank you. A thousand likes!

[@RandomRikku]

I LOVE theory videos

[@sonyabluefire9909]

has anyone noticed that in the kingsglaive film during the nyx and luna conversation scene, in the background, you can see the very same painting Stella looks at in one of the trailers for versus xiii?

[@minghuawang7740]

ff15 can literally has this kind of story when writers had 10 years to think about it

[@superthicc7657]

I believe this theory makes sense, however I should point out at 25:54 that “clock” isn’t apart of the design. It’s actually a shattered piece of the fountain that was originally right there. There are three other pieces in the area that are exactly the same. (Ironically enough I am playing the game and standing at that spot at this moment)

[@xmasterchief1158]

Love the Theory 😍

[@cloudnomad7758]

I can't wait to replay 15 after theory week once it comes to pc. bring on the theories pez!

[@jakedeschamps4454]

Would this mean, that the dream Noctis has that has scenes from the omen trailer was relevant?

[@xXToadyXx]

And you did it again. You blew my mind so much and I REALLY hope this is true, because it would heal my broken heart.

[@knightvalory]

Pez how bout the pic that noctis showed luna at the final scene? The pic that was showed is from the timeline where noct died where he asked prompto he would like to bring a photo with him before the final fight

[@xannypoo705]

The picture was maybe from the point before so some events still happened but not all of them

[@gameloregeek]

Hey Pez fantastic theory, I love how Square Enix manage to pack in so much depth in to FF games, really hope this is true because if it is it would incredible, long may Square Enix keep us enthralled with these amazing stories

[@RiiLove]

love this theory so much ♡ I think I'll play through again with this in mind

[@Phoenix_Edgeworth]

Man that theory blew my mind. I kind of hope it isn't true though, because if it was then I'd want to see what happend in the last cycle :/

[@juliansenni6279]

Read dawn of the future, it is the true ending

[@actingislife100]

I enjoyed this theory. King Regis is definitely one of my favorite characters and this just shows how much of an amazing father he is. It's clear that FFXV has a lot of unanswered questions and they did say that you can interrupt the ending anyway you want to. So the fact that they can't even confirm what happened in the ending shows that something didn't happen the way it was supposed to. This is the only theory I can see explaining why you hear the car dialogue at the end, just showing that time reset.

[@warpig501]

Great channel and great FF fan. Following you from Italy, regards 🤗 Ps. I like very much this theory, is so ligic and would be epic.

[@abigailweller3582]

Theory Week Hype!!!

[@toniodiaz9677]

always makes me appreciate the game from a different perspective

[@Lthe1st]

Man Perona77 needs to shift over to Call of Duty Zombies after he's done digging up FF stuff because I know there's story details that have been missed in that, but good video Pez! I live for these theories.

[@MarcM47]

the voice of the crystal talking to Regis in the Omen trailler really is Ardyn. Even in french its the same voice actor.. well see Peasant! I love this theory so much and it makes a whole lot of sense.. I can already see the dlc related to this.

[@megawill04]

Thanks for this theory video. I love the game even more so.

[@12ealDealOfficial]

FFXV being a dark story with tons of evidence for fan speculation reminds me of the best bits of VIII.

[@alisan3270]

Also, I think the fact that pieces of crystal are flying around at the wedding scene is strong evidence that is taking place in the crystal realm, or, the afterlife.

[@alisan3270]

paired with the fact they both look the age they were when they died, and noctis has the photo with him as well.

[@EdoItachiAnbu]

damn the feels at the end man 😢

[@TonyaHolladay]

Love this! Could a playlist exist for ease of access to all your theory vids?

[@ZeroHxC07]

Is it just me or does the picture of noctis in the thumbnail kinda looks like ardyin?

[@sabiasestoya]

ZeroHxC07 i was just going to say that!

[@Coconuthead1019]

My mind is completely blown with this theory

[@natewilson6250]

I was watching when I thought maybe the pit of eos dungeoun is to represent the time paradox thing. because in it if you die from the spikes, that should have killed you. you don't you just telaport to a start/check point and restart until you succeed and live. thus you are given the black hood. the restarting mechanic could symbolise the time paradox system. added that you are trapped in until you succeed and not die.

[@christiangutierrez9715]

a full week of these. this is going to be a great week guys 😀 can't wait lol

[@tdparisi]

so do you think can we expect an alternate ending in a future patch or dlc? maybe after a second play through on new game+? because that's technically a time loop.

[@Sai-hd8ie]

Listening to the end of the omen trailer again, it really sounds like Regis is also trying to help Ardyn. Maybe Ardyn is teaching Regis to make the time stitch in order to make a time line in which noctis' quest ends with Ardyn being cured of his sickness and Noctis finding his happy ending. That way, Regis and Ardyn both get what they want.

[@villemiettinen7146]

damn these theories though! GJ

[@sambagel]

THEORY WEEK?!?!? Oh goodness it's like Christmas all over again!!! ^_^ Ugh all the possibilities...a truly happy ending for our heroes. And the speculation about Noctis and Luna spending time together in Altissia?? PEZ YOU'RE KILLING ME. I NEED IT NOW. That and time together in the World of Versus theory DLC. Gosh, all the possibilities.... It kind of sucks that we have to resort to DLC to feel a better sense of completion in terms of the story. I mean, it gives me a reason to come back to the game, however I only wish that they'd had the time to tell this story. A cohesive narrative. There's no way that all of this is wrong. Your points and speculations have validity. Da proof is in da pudding, my dear Pez. I think your points are strong, whilst fighting my bias in wanting it to be true. YAAAAAAAAY THEORY WEEK!!

[@jay-chan2284]

Pez you did it again!!! your damn theories mann MINDBLOWN...i really hope Square get there shit together with the DLC. im not gonna get my hopes to high.

[@KarakuraNinja]

Finally someone talks about the time loops. I was hoping Versus XV would be a thing that could be explained with a previous cycle, the Omen trailer made me believe it was meant to be a thing. Your theory matches a theory I had in my mind. I even suggested this to Square Enix in the feedback survey recently.
