[@GrahamChapman]

I just _love_ how completely unconcerned Ardyn is with coming across as sincerely amicable throughout this entire scene. I mean, you can actually _hear_ the condecending smugness dripping off his voice. He simply doesn't even care enough to even _pretend_ like he's there in order to make peace; he throws a peace agreement that's basically a declaration of genocide straight into Regis' face, knowing full well that Regis will have to agree to it, and he does it with a tone that implies that he has half a mind to admit to Regis that "all of this is obviously complete bullshit, we're gonna kill you all, I'm gonna fuck up your son's life, and I even brought a dog along, all the way from Gralea, specifically so I could tapdance all over a piece of dogshit before I stepped into the palace; I'm currently wiping off my shoes all over your fancy carpet, your majesty, and there is absolutely nothing you can do to prevent any of this from happening, neener neener."

He already knew the fall of Insomnia was upon him.

This actually fits this scene very well. I wish they would've played his theme in this scene in Kingsglaive. It further heightens Ardyn's manipulative and convincing nature.

[@vindifference]

While it does fit the scene, it conveys a very different emotion and I'm not sure which I prefer. This theme paints the situation as far less serious, with Ardyn just playing around in his usual mysterious but not immediately threatening way. kinda like Kefka's early appearances which are more comical in nature. The one in the movie conveyed a darker atmosphere, especially as Ardyn so boldly walked up to the throne as though it was his own... As though he was actually so powerful that he could go up and pat the king's shoulder and there was absolutely nothing anyone else could do about it. Coupled with the terms themselves, and Regis' severe expression, I liked the score in Kingsglaive.

This scene just hits so differently after Episode Ardyn. It's one thing that I can't hate the villain that much, but his interactions with Regis... knowing these two actually met before, fought before, and Regis knows perfectly well, that he can't actually stop Ardyn if he tries anything...

[@mattlucis]

I know this comment is two years old and all, but Regis didn't know anything about Ardyn Izunia. The name Ardyn was lost in time. Regis and all the other kings before him knew "Ardyn" only by the name Adagium. And during the fight they had in the DLC Ardyn was using the guards likeness. The Episode don't let it explicit because we play with Ardyn's model, since playing with a random guard would be kind of disappointing, but during cutscenes we have some scenes, including the one before Regis boss battle, that imply Ardyn's appearance still being the random guard. And the book Dawn of the Future confirms that Ardyn stayed as a random guard during the whole attack. If you play the DLC someday in the future listen to the Lucian comms. They basically say that a random guard is the apparent cause of all the madness.

[@Z-A-C]

Imagine if King Regis simply said “sure, you can have our city, it’s all yours.” Ardyn would’ve been like “wtf.. why?? That’s not satisfying at all.” Ardyn wanted conflict, and he wanted to annoy the shit out of both Regis and Noctis as much as possible. If they would’ve just given Ardyn what he wanted in kings glaive there probably wouldn’t have been any conflict. Although one of Ardyn’s main goals was to kill a lot of people that Noctis loved so he probably would’ve killed Regis anyways

[@supremeoverlorde2109]

I love this theme, and I kind of thought I would enjoy it with the scene --- but I'm a little surprised to say I prefer it without it. The Ardyn I theme reflects the more impish and mysterious side to Ardyn, where he's kind of messing around with Noctis and his friends and they don't know what his intentions are. In Kingsglaive, it's much more obvious that his words and actions are meant to be threatening, and I think silence better displays the unease in the throne chamber as he's facing down Regis. It feels incredibly tense, and I think the song takes away from that a little bit.

Regis had no clue Ardyn was the same person he fought as "Adageium" several years prior to this confrontation as Ardyn used a clever ruse to deceive him back then into thinking he was fighting a possessed crown city officer. bahamut if he did mention it to Regis later probably didnt mention him by his real name but likely as the spreader of darkness and probably didnt mention that he served the empire as its chancellor either since Bahamut's goal was to completely eradicate Ardyn along with the scourge from existance but he needed Noctis to take Regis' place as that was the will of the crystal an as such Noctis would become the sacrificial pawn that saves the world, a role that was originally supposed to fall to Ardyn, but Area Nox Fleuret his fiance couldnt accept that outcome and she defied Bahamut's orders and told Somnus that he was chosen by the crystal instead so that Ardyn wouldnt have to sacrifice his life when he already was doing so much to ease the burden of his people. Somnus took advantage of this an lured Ardyn to the palace so he could kill him an claim the thrown while exposing Ardyn as a false saviour who was corrupted by the plague.
