Chef Boyardee Takes Out an Army with Snow the DLC

[@proyounggamer3643]

how do you get the dlc

[@somethingspicy4757]

SuperButterBuns I felt like episode Prompto for me was the best, Episode Ignis didn't really tell us much about his character.

Will you do a full play through with all dlc and updates included

[@KZXcellentExtras]

Ravus' facial hair is the real star of this DLC.

[@aboyandhisdog2251]

KZ Ravus is best boy 😁

[@kylescott2235]

He looks like a young Joseph Joestar

[@NightLight_19]

Santa Ravus

[@xordu4246]

I burst out into hysterical laughter when I was playing through the extra verse, the moustache and beard came out of nowhere!! :)

[@xavierpeterson7139]

No no no no he looks like Colonial Sanders

[@ashe323d7]

“Spoilers in 3 2-“ *baby ad pops up* I can’t believe Ignis is pregnant.

[@Lycanthromancer1]

And -Yami's- -Yugi's- -Bakura's- Noctis's the father!

[@Lady_Yuuci]

Well with Luna dead, he had to fulfill the dury.

[@0calliestar0]

*vape ad pops up* wow i hope ignis can help noct get over his vape addiction, kids these days

[@demi43505]

*cow ad pops up* Oh god, Ignis retires and becomes a farmer?!

[@Yevon]

i lost my shit laughing when Ardin put his fedora on the generic soldier standing next to him XD

[@WhiteLycanXII]

Yeah pretty damn good moment, and just cements how much I love Ardyn's smarmy bastard-ness.

[@valkyrion_ex1173]

The choreography for Ardyn's cutscenes was just fantastic. He was already high on my list, but after this he's probably my #1 favourite FF villain. For all of its shortcomings, Ardyn is where the better side of XV's writing really shines.

[@zelamorre1126]

Ardyn is possibly the best part about the whole game.

[@benevolentworldexploder5395]

+Zela Morre Ardyn was my least favorite part of the game because of his bizarre interactions in Act 1, and still kind of is... but his attitude in Episode Prompto and Ignis was a bit of a saving grace. When he put his fedora on the soldier I busted out laughing and I ended up showing it to my wife... she was far less impressed. I'm a god damn child.

[@Eden3361]

That was truly when Ardyn became one of my favorite video game villians.

[@sbfh014]

"What's your favorite recipeh" *girl you know my husbando ignis IS my recipeh* I mean what.

[@courtney_timmins]

. . .can u share? ;-;

[@Fodimin]

The saddest endings are the ones where they show you what could've been. I'm suing Square for doing this to me.

[@sirencall11]

Fodimin actually square hasnt said which one is canon and since it's a split in the timeline any of them can be the true ending.

[@aboyandhisdog2251]

Remy Dolce but the new ending so sad. Noctis without Luna 😭😭

[@adamreynolds1000]

Steve Redfield thats what Iris is for.😉

[@SliceBoii]

Both endings are canon, alternate timelines have been confirmed to be canon for FFXV

[@davidmcfall1341]

Jenry Vargas but that doesn't matter unless content comes out for different timelines or FFXV runs on multiverse theory and we time hop.

[@joshromero1796]

Ignis is best boy.

[@aboyandhisdog2251]

Uncomfortable Acts For which are done cheaply I'm starting to think that Ravus is best boy 😁

[@keskes1338]

Ignis best boy confirmed.

[@sarahweaboo]

i agree

[@sherrie553]

Ignis can be my cook

[@Ph4lip]

Best waifu

[@MANJYOMETHUNDER111]

Two things: 1) You clearly see the Crystal healing Ignis in Chapter 3, Verse 2 when Noctis ASKS THE CRYSTAL TO HEAL IGNIS. 2) Ardyn is the embodiment of the Star Scourge, because he absorbed so much of it, ergo killing him permanently ends the Scourge. Ignis severely weakened Ardyn during their fight in Verse 2, which means Noctis wouldn't have had to use all of the power of the Ring to defeat him, meaning his life didn't need to be sacrificed. Cheesy and convenient, sure, but the ending still makes sense.

[@MANJYOMETHUNDER111]

The reason Noctis had to kill himself to end the StarScourge is because he had to kill Ardyn's ghost, which was constantly being reanimated into a mortal body by the StarScourge.

[@zelamorre1126]

I also heard (I'm way too lazy to go back and replay the game to look) that when Ignis gets healed, you can see sylleblossoms showing up implying that Lunafreya's Oracle healing power influence or whatnot.

[@Sheechiibii]

It makes as much sense or more than the original. People can say it's contradicting how the starscourge works, how Ardyns immortality works, how the ring and the crystal work, how the chosen prophecy works...but the fact is none of that was ever explained so no contradiction is going on. In the main ending Noct gets told he must die so he goes and kills himself no questions asked from him or any of his so called friends: nowhere is it ever explained whys or hows. None of the minimal info we knew was changed by Ignis's actions.

[@RaxusXeronos]

I like to think that it's how he asked for the crystal's help between the two endings that altered what happened. in the main game it was "Give me the power to rid the world of The Darkness" or something to that effect. He rids the world of darkness, paying the price in the process. In the Episode, he asks it to help him protect his friends. Well even if he saves the world, he can't exactly protect his friends if he's dead, so......At least that's how I feel it is anyway.

[@zelamorre1126]

It might also be that Noct accepts his destiny or what have you much earlier than he does in the main game. Ardyn goes on about Noct needing nudges, etc. for Ardyn's own plans. But what if the crystal/former kings of Lucis were judging him the same way?

[@kiryuattorney9992]

This episode hit me harder than those bullets that hit Zack.

[@justjunior9561]

You just triggered a flashback.

[@Lord_Framebreak]

[@KILLERGFX1]

You are a very cruel individual for bringing that back :c

[@slycool2979]

“It’s a good thing Ignis gets his eyes nerfed after the DLC” I came out here to have a good time and I’m honestly feeling so attacked right now

[@pablozky21]

I always defend Final Fantasy XV and will continue to do so because the core experience to me felt amazing and totally worth the 65 bucks. So I bought the season pass happily and it has been a rollarcoster of disappointing (Gladio and Comrades) to amazing (Prompto and Ignis). I have to say, even though I understand how massively expensive XV was and I was very understanding on paying for the dlc, I kinda wish they waited another year and charged more for the game with all this content, because then it would have gone from great to masterpiece. When I first played and finished XV I adored it, but now, looking back, I realized it could have been more, with all this on the base game I would have declared this my favorite game of all time. So I have clear mixed feelings: I'm happy this content is out, but boy I wish it would have all come together sooner

[@CaptainCJ97]

That's some interesting logic

[@duelverse8410]

pablozky21 @me

[@RedWizardFox]

pablozky21 I feel the same way. I love this game to bits but if they were to release the game now there wouldn't be nearly as many people complaining. In a weird messed up way, waiting for the dlcs is the best part. It's like anicipation of what is gonna happen lol but yeah still would have been nice to have all this done like a year ago. BUT I will not complain because they could have just stopped and did no dlcs so for them to continue to upgrade it is very nice of them.

[@norikostars9643]

Considering XV was a 10+ year project that was announced right beside FFXIII with hints that they had been working on it all since Dirge of Cerberus. Square really has zero excuses for what they shelled out. This is not the kind of product we should be encouraging and while that band of sexy men had great stories. I still can't condone the DLC, strange controls, or the shortness of it all given the project was promoted as being HUGE. Nuuuuuuupe!

[@CableFF7Forever]

So the reason I think and yeah this is SPOILERS IN BIG FLASHING NEON LIGHTS that Noctis did survive in that alternate ending was due to him seeing that vision from Pryna and knowing what it would lead to (Noctis dying) but because he wasn't blinded in that final attack and was fully healed now he focuses on ways to help prepare Noctis in a way that doesn't result in his death. This is seen in the credits with Ignis going to various locations throughout the game like Royal Tombs doing research and this is even proven when Noctis returns and he says "The Day has been prepared"

[@Ninetails2000]

On the whole everyone is significantly more prepared going in. Iggy reaches out to big influential and in-the-know people like Vyv, Sonya, Arenea and the hunters before the Eternal Night set in and with Ardyn being dealt with so early, he wasnt able to demonify all of Gralia and kickstart everything the way he did. With Ravus still around to possibly claim leadership over Gralia provided the leader was still just a demonic figurehead that could be disposed of, they could have even had the whole of Nifflehiem I'm their side too.

[@pookie2290]

*Shut up and let me have my messy alternative ending where everyone lives happily ever after :’)*

[@zelamorre1126]

I can't believe anyone bashes the alternate ending for being a mess. The whole game's plot was a mess from the beginning. It's not like it got any messier. They could add on 15 alternate endings, and it wouldn't make a difference at this point.

[@Sheechiibii]

Kuro Kohi Better than the atrocity that is the main game ending. It's about as boring and unimaginative as it can get.

[@PenguinsAreColdish]

@@zelamorre1126 the storytelling was a mess but the actual plot was actually good. you need to do too many things to get the full picture: watch the anime, watch kingsglaive, play every dlc, play the royal edition, read a bunch of lore, etc.

[@seanbiava346]

As sad as it is that we didn’t get a finished FFXV In 2016, the inevitable remaster for PS5 Is going to be amazing

[@shakirashipslied9721]

Oh yes

[@TheAngelofFate17]

God I can’t even imagine them making s PS5, I mean I just recently got Ps4 a few months ago. I don’t even want to think about thinking of getting a new system

[@HyouVizer]

yep PS5 coming 2020 with FFXV remastered all DLC in 2022 im not joking, this feels pretty legit

[@seanwhatever3979]

TheAngelofFate17 ugh, same.

[@naza5759]

about that...

[@rj119x]

I interpreted it as since Ignis already forged the contract of death and decided to sacrifice himself so Noct didn’t have to die, the blood price was already played. Then when Noct showed up before Iggy died he just healed him with the crystal which is different from the ring and the previous kings were just like fuck, he done jipped the system. Then all Noctis had to do was go into the crystal, slap Ardyn with the stick and it was over since Iggy was already supposed to die. It’s mere speculation but this is how I have and will interpret it. However, it’s still noncanon and makes the actually ending that much more tragic. Damn it square, stop being mean to Noctis.

[@blankpage9277]

It needs the blood of the chosen king, though. Not some rando retainer.

[@clintmckee1751]

Putting vital story info in non cannon endings is a very Yoko Taro esk thing to do.

[@QuiteAmazing]

Iggy definitely got the best episode 🔥🔥🔥

[@LoraLindemann]

Bc he's the best character.

[@MeltyZombie]

IGGY!!!!!

[@TheLinuky]

I somehow get the feeling that FFXV has turned into Square Enix technical playground, where they try stuff that will define future Final Fantasy Games (Open World, DLCs and now Character Switch). Especially the character switching feature is probably something that has to be tested "in the open field" and see how people react to it... you know... there's a remake in the works that has tons of characters and people are concerned the battle system will end up like it was in FFXV at release. But that's just a wild guess.

[@Uroboro_Djinn]

Better test it on FF XV than making new games every time. The FF XIII trilogy was also a technical playground for SE. I'm genuinely baffled how SE hasn't gone bankrupt yet, FF XIV must have made hella bank.

[@ceenone3310]

It did, and does. Even FF11. SE said it is extremely profitable.

[@Uroboro_Djinn]

Well it deserves to be, it's a great MMO and a good game in general. I just wish they wouldn't rely so much on 11 and 14 being endless money wells. They no longer feel their decisions have consequences because even if a game flops it's going to sell due to the brand name and they can cut their losses thanks to the 11/14 income.

[@pipedream2556]

So FFXV mightbwell be a throwaway game from the dev perspective seeing as story-wise the remnants of versus 13 got shoehorned into an open world game when it really wasnt meant to work like that, and then it definitely got released before everything was finished, and then they kept adding new ideas and tweaking to test stuff out on the market for future games bc hey might as well, no matter how much some people who worked on it might have really believed in it there were enough who didnt that it basically became a clustertruck God that's depressing to consider

[@stevenspears924]

Got his eyes nerfed That made me laugh so hard I started making bird noises omg

Your ad started as you hit '1' on the spoiler alert lol

[@vasukithecobrat1583]

Tuco Benedicto Ramirez Anyone else see a Visine commercial at this point?

[@blackflash2954]

Yeah tht was hilarious

[@rayneinthenight]

It was funny cause the ad was for Episode Ignis 😂😂😂

[@dreadlocdjh907]

That was absolutely perfect

[@Olgeta77]

They realy have to buff Noctis moves up. Why do i feel better playing as Glad, Prompto or Ignis? Cause NOCTIS IS SO FRIGGIN SLOW, SLUGGISH AND WEAK. King weapons are a joke. The only good thing about Noct is his teleport ability and THATS IT.

[@MewMewSun]

Rivaille L. I doubt if Noctis had the job of holding up the New Wall he wouldn't have the strength to do it

[@MewMewSun]

Rivaille L. His dad could hold the New Wall, still fight, use spells like lightning and summon small shields. Noct? He has his youth and teleportation. He sucks ass. Can't believe the fate of the world rested upon him. The King and Luna deserved a bit better

[@Olgeta77]

i think the Noct gameplay suffers a lot after playing as other charakters. Even before the dlcs i thought that the game engine doesnt allow nice tight controlls but it is definetly not true. As a dmc series and platinum games fan i was very disapointed. I know, this is FF but if u change the core gameplay of the series to hack and slash do it atleast right or enhance the old system to the max like persona 5 did.

[@Ooutrem]

Lightining Returns enhanced the old system a lot and while I really enjoyed it most people didn't like it. Also, Noctis can use those OP grenades and Arminger, that's about what he's good for.

[@nicholaskennedy6256]

Yeah, I haven't tried the other characters yet do not wanting to have the game further spoiled possibly, but playing as Noct doesn't feel right, and it doesn't feel like an issue of there being skill to improve upon.

[@xiaui556]

I bought FFXV for $80 USD when I got last year and I’m so happy with my purchase. Final Fantasy XV is my favorite Final Fantasy game, not sure why, maybe because it plays like Kingdom Hearts?

[@Arthur-ex4yj]

KHZYX sameeeee. It’s also my favorite ff.

[@Arthur-ex4yj]

KHZYX I got the season pass last year and I don’t regret I.

[@aboyandhisdog2251]

I got the ultimate edition when ffxv came out, bought the season pass on top of that, and still haven't regretted it. In fact I regret it less the more time goes on, if you can regret less then not regretting at all, that is 😁

[@wawowhead]

Early this year I bought a new copy of the physical delux edition on xb1 which comes with the kingsglaive blueray i still havent watched. payed $60 for it. Just bought the digital delux version for $30 on ps4 this month because an it's only an extra $5 for the game with the dlc, 2 Nier Automata songs, and ps4 theme. It is flawed but I fucking love it anyways! no regrets either. :) Edit: I even enjoyed the Assasin's Creed Festival even though I judged it before playing it. I hate the AC series too.

[@Arthur-ex4yj]

Steve Redfield wtf are you saying ? The game doesn’t even have an ultimate edition it only has a standard edition, and the digital premium edition that comes with the season pass

[@borkupine9800]

All my weeb friends ask who my waifu is... Ignis.... Always Ignis...

[@MahoganyBlack]

I don’t get why people are giving 15 so much shit. Sure the dlc is crucial for story details, and I wasn’t happy about that, but the core game had a lot of content. With dungeons, side quests, all the things to explore, I platinum’d the game and had a blast doing it. I probably would’ve never touched the game in a while if it wasn’t for the update and dlc so I think 15 really benefits from this because it gives me a reason to jump back in.

[@xordu4246]

Most of the fetch quests would sooner or later end up leading to a dungeon, so not exactly anything wrong with that.

[@nicholaskennedy6256]

I haven't finished the game yet, but I already like it better than FFXIII, and the whole issue of information not being present seems like it's been overstated in my opinion. So far I haven't had any questions. I'm only on Chapter 7 though.

[@wiseguy240Winston]

It's a mess and the story is short, weak and poorly presented. The combat is watered down and offers no challenge with broken potion spamming mechanics. Character besides the bros are rarely given enough screen time like Raves and Luna and i have to pay for 3 dlc for the full dam game. That's just the tip of the iceberg. This game was so disappointing that after i plat it because it's apeshit stupid easy like the rest of the game i went back to final fantasy 13 just to plat it and you know what final fantasy 13 is actually considerably better than 15 in so many aspects i actually enjoyed playing that game over more than XV. Not to mention the final dungeon was short and underwhelming and the final bosses were pushovers and disappointing.

[@Blackart101]

^says the game is shit.Still Platinum Trophy's it. Great Logic you got there

[@wiseguy240Winston]

AnimismAnime That's cause it's stupid easy may as well right? 13 was far better of an experience and challenge to platinum. 15's just for new comers and what's even more sad is assassin's creed origins is a far superior action rpg than 15 lmao!

[@mistamemewide]

In the ending when he went all magic n’ shit I was like: YES BEST BOY YOU CAN DO IT GO GO GO!

[@iceclkeyheart3060]

XV has been finally reedemed. All my issues have been fixed with the gsme. The stuff like ep Arydn we don't need. But will be nice for some extras

[@silentsnake31]

Your voice isn't annoying buns, you deserve all the likes!

[@Vuurvlieg21]

There’s also the theory that because Ignis wasn’t blind in the alternate timeline he could, during the 10 years, actually do something about the information he got (which is more than in the canon) and find a different solution to that damn prophecy. Especially if Ardyn isn’t there to spur on the darkness. It’s kind of hard researching ancient tempels and info if you’re blind, which would have stopped him from getting anywhere in canon...

[@learnrx9749]

I do hope Square rerelease 15 as a definitive version with all the season pass and everything. I know that sounds like a shot in the foot for people who've already got the game and all dlc with it (myself), but I feel that would be a good decision since it would allow 15's story to be patched up and allow some extra scenes that weren't in the original release. Ch 13 I'm looking at you.

[@Zidane_Mina]

And having all of the content and patched game IN DISC its beneficial for future playtrhoughs, since ps4 servers won't be arround forever.

[@peskyspider5103]

Yeah I definitely want this. I have the special edition version of FF15 and I finished the game back when it launched but I haven't played any of the DLC because I am waiting for them to finishing adding all the content. Once the game is complete I will play through the entire game again, playing DLC episodes when I feel it's an appropriate point in the story.

[@Just_B0red]

Well congrats, your wish came true with Royal edition

[@wolfpax181]

Your voice is obnoxious, and that's exactly why I love it so much. You are impossible to ignore. I'm going to get all the DLC sometime in the next month or so. I've intentionally not come back to FFXV till they were all done so I can get the "complete-ish" experience. ...well, that and my wonderful children decided to screw up my first time experiencing the ending.

[@Luvumba]

wolfpax181 Her voice is of an angel. Sit back down Breh...

[@digibro2107]

Awesome write-up, agree with most of this... Nice seeing someone being fair/balanced on FFXV, seems like most people want to get all over-the-top about dissing this game... I think at this point it's hard to not be happy with what we have now, it's just strange that it took a year after its initial release... But I mean, there's something kind of interesting about episodic updates every few months? Not necessarily ideal, but like, a prolonged release like this isn't necessarily the worst way to do things...

[@daniellins4114]

CrystalNet I think it's nice, gives you a reason to keep coming back. I just didn't like how part of the reason was the big flaws in storytelling, but I think I would suport this in other games (only if they come complete on release, of course).

[@emowolfg0d794]

Hey Buns i've been watching you videos and streams for a decent time now and i got to say Your work as always been awesome keep it up

You're funny, quirky and genuinely entertaining. Sorry for fangirling, but I just felt I had to say something. Keep it up, you beautiful soul.

[@13hurtandersonn]

Even though I already seen the base story, I finally got the game and I'm playing them along the main game....looks like the iggy dlc is gonna get me fucked up with its alternative endings tho.

[@comedygold6249]

I just love how the ice covers ignis when using his blades. fun fact: i think he has the highest dps output at the end of the dlc and i really enjoyed how one has to keep the damage multiplier at its highest in the final boss fight.

[@kenjikuroiwa99]

Noctis has to ascend, become the king of kings and kill Ardyn in the other plane in order for the world to recover his light, so it's more likely that the only thing that changed is that Iggy either followed Noct to the other life and died with him or is able to see him thanks to previously using the ring of the lucii.

[@MoistChungus]

There was something about the change in how the story was told in episode ignis that was missing in the main game, like how the cutscenes play out, not sure what exactly but it makes me excited that the episodes progressively got better and we're still getting more

[@LuckiSir]

I feel that in the alternate ending, Ignis dreams of the world Noctis & Luna resides in and sees the spirit of Noctis on his throne. Saying one last “Your majesty” before he awakens in the real world.

[@ryan489]

Hey Buns, speaking of Ignis I was at a distant worlds concert this month and I was standing not 2 feet from the actor played him. It was pretty cool. Both he and the guy who played King Regis were there along with Noubo uematsu.

[@reklem2]

Not gonna lie... I looked forward to this video more than the DLC itself

[@zeruszephuros5419]

Because the story takes place during the summon, the environment became really epic :o

[@gigaderek]

This was my first buns video. Prime content.

[@catdblood]

The episode is short but it had quite the heavy impact to my emotions. Honestly I'll probably play it again just because I unlocked the Quick Recipeh ability. Gonna cook Ardyn a nice meal of my feels.

[@nachgeben]

I'm so excited about Episode: Ardyn, too. Especially after this.

[@Dilan10Z]

"Scar Stourge" Lmao I do the exact same thing. On another note, I usually don't like videos because I treat my likes album as my workout playlist. But for you I'll make an exception, because you deserve it.

[@kylerhallett3936]

This DLC was alright, prompto is definitely my favourite. I don’t really have much to say about it however... I will say that I was so excited for the update. I love the update but it needs major work still. Square needs to make it so you aren’t always switching back to Noctis after the fight ends. Also when the game takes its sweet time to recognize you’re switching it honestly takes me out of the experience and that isn’t a good thing. The problem isn’t fixed on PS4 pro, I’d imagine that Xbox one x might be better with it however.

[@Arthur-ex4yj]

13:37 no actually that IS still going to happen I The next comrades updates, In the comrades dlc in lestallum next to cid there’s a dude wearing a black suit. If you talk to him he gives you an option to change your character and he says that in future updates characters from the main game will be playable in comrades.

[@RMMachinimas]

I havent touched this game since my first play-through at launch, but im excited to go back and see everything they’ve added when i get the windows edition

[@sahayeda5220]

Honestly the assassins festival was worth it. Besides the outfit u get being AWESOME, it's a good chance to tour Lestallum from above.

[@brandynicole7410]

I bought the Royal Edition for about $12 around Black Friday and I must say between the anime, movie, the base game, and the DLC, this may be my favorite video game. I'll wait a bit for the emotions to die down but it is at least in the top three for me. Solid story, amazing characters, and really fun gameplay, and also one of the few games to make me feel emotional. I just love it, and it was thanks to your Final Fantasy XV beginner video that I finally decided to buy it, so thank you so much for your amazing and hilarious content!

[@taylorriffe2961]

Ignis isn’t just a snack, he is a whole got damn meal!!

[@TwistedSecrets777]

What I loved the most about the personal Episodes is till I saw this I did not realize (Though it was easy to guess) that knowing that Noctis was going to die Ignis gave his eyes to save his life that is true devotion and Loyalty....that dude really wanted to see Noctis become king even more fun was hearing at the end on one of the boss fights when he said "NO MATTER WHAT THE COST"....EPIC

I just discovered your channel and i love it! You are hilarious I've watched a few videos and can't wait for new ones

[@maxialstar]

Buns, I need to quickly clarify you what happened at the end of Episode Ignis Chapter 3 Verse 2 (SPOILERS FOLLOW): It seems that the ending wasn't changed, Noctis did sacrifice himself and the last scene in the throne room is in the "beyond" (a.k.a. heaven, a.k.a. where Noctis married Luna, a.k.a. NOCTIS IS DEAD GOSH DAMMIT) First of all, we do not see how the battle of Ardyn plays out even if Ravus is present, they essentially pan up to the upper part of the Insomnia castle and the the light comes back and the darkess is vanished. So, by not showing us the battle and if Noctis did sacrifice like he did in the main game, we do not really know if the ending does take place in the beyond, but I have TWO proofs that make me believe they're indeed are in the beyond. First, the light gives me an eerie feeling, like they're way too happy and in a dream like state. And second, for some weird reason, they have in the later parts of the DLC the image of the wedding with no text as a loading screen. This leads me to believe that essentially nothing from the ending was changed whatsover but the fact that Ignis is no longer blind and will be able to live until the end of his days alongside Prompto, Gladio and the rest of Eos until he can reunite with Noctis in the Beyond.

[@nachgeben]

No, there's a key difference to that ending: Noctis didn't ascend to the throne alone. So if he did die, he had the boys with him in that ending. That blast WOULD have killed them, too.

[@somethingspicy4757]

Chayyiel And Noctis not ascending to the Throne will bring back Ardyn, as stated Lunafreya's soul will not rest until the prophecy is fulfilled, meaning that still in the alternate end Noctis would have died. This is why the Alternate ending makes no sense.

[@xhdhhdhdhd7136]

@@somethingspicy4757 The alternate ending is a bonus. The real ending is the official one as it is shown by the final logo. Even with that alternative ending Noctis will have to sacrifice himself in the future because ardyn is still alive and it will return to cause more problems. The official ending has a closure. It is perfect. People just can't stand that Noctis died but sometimes tragic endings are better and more suitable.

Can't wait to see your take on the Royal Pack~

[@WandererRedux]

Haven't played _Episode: Ignis_ yet (it's downloading) but I have to say I really appreciate them bringing the character select feature to the game as a free update. It is pretty clunky to actually enable it as you said (they could've at least mentioned you needed to unlock it in the patch notes), but so long as you're a AP high roller like me, 3x20AP to unlock it is nothing. I think dropping the price of each episode was a good move on S-E's part too, since they did get a fair bit of (just) criticism for setting the episodes up the way they did. I do blame time constraints more than Tabata for that one, but the S-E mandated hooks in the main game are still frustrating. Finally I did try out the Assassin's Festival for myself too; in short don't play it 😃. When I first started it up Noctis got stuck behind in invisible wall immediately as he hopped out of the car, trapping him out of bounds in the back loaded world (unable to do any of the cool out of bounds stuff you can normally do). After that, my game hung on a shop keeper animation that never loaded, forcing me to close the game and restart it. I know it's free guys, but could you put a little effort into making sure it's not a bug riddled mess please? 😅

[@akiriith]

Its been ages since I thought about this game but I checked this out just for fun (and besides it helps the algorythm, I suppose :'D) and I find it really funny that you said that the only way for Noctis not to die/for us to get a happy ending out of it is for Square to rewrite the entire premise of the game... and that's exactly what they did with the book/cancelled DLCs :'D They literally changed massive plot points with Ardyn's imo bc he is just such a fan favorite so now he's more tragic and screw Bahamut I guess, so now you can excuse all the crap Ardyn did, but it still fundamentally changes the core themes and stories of 15. I'm a weirdo who genuinely enjoyed the bittersweetness of story so I always thought it was a shame they didn't stick to their guns with this.

[@Kowanpoop]

The bit about Ardyn is IN the main game. Bahamut tells you the exact same thing inside the crystal. The only new bit in Episode Ignis is Ardyn telling you that the past King was his brother. That's the only new info revealed in the alternate ending.

[@iceclkeyheart3060]

pupulicious and it sounds like his bro took his name with Ignis responding with "The founder king!?"

[@Kowanpoop]

Icecl Keyheart yeah. He probably wanted to take credit of everything Ardyn did so people will think he is a savior king.

[@iceclkeyheart3060]

pupulicious makes me wonder why he didn't put two and two together when the learned Arydn was part of the empire. Or most likely they didn't think of it. Or Arydn is a common name like Joe in their world or somthing

[@blitzkriegdragon013]

I mean if you knew a guy named Alfred you wouldn't immediately assume "Alfred the Great! First king of England."

[@Goron1988]

That's said at the end of episode 13, although I have only just completed it. So maybe they patched the game with Episode Ignis ?

[@mythiel507]

I have mixed feeling about this DLC, you say it will take like 2 hours yet I finished it in 1:15. I did some extra stuff too but not all of them. Prompto DLC was enjoyable and probably the best in my opinion. Ignis however was really easy and quick.. the capture the flag kinda idea did not appeal to me either. Idk I would give a 6/10 for this DLC it just dindt make me enjoy it as much as Prompto's did and.. well ignis being overpowerd is not fun at all.

[@jkbobful]

im glad you brought up the fact that the bosses in FF15 for the most part suck Cor was the only boss I really liked in FF15

[@DarthXelion]

Well thought out and very good review put together, I enjoyed it. I will say one thing when it came to the spoiler section but its suppose to be alternate ending and the fact a thing happens at the end can be left off to our homeboy Ignis probably weakened Ardyn to the point Noctis didn't need to use the full power of the Ring to destroy the star scourge letting him live. But *Shrug* Who knows unless Square officially comes out and says so its all up to our headcanon.

[@urarabianknight]

I love you Buns. Keep up the good work!😊

[@amandawittenstein1873]

Just restarted 15, and I’m pretty stoked for Ignis. He’s best boy. Fite me.

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

I want to know where the world of Eos goes now that of the five countries we're told about in XV's world (Lucis, Tenebrae, Accordo, Niflheim, and Galahd), three monarchies have fallen. Without a Crystal or an Oracle, do Lucis and Tenebrae still try to go with a monarchy? Democracy? Theocracy? ANARCHY?! I'm curious to see the future of this planet.

[@tamara-roseblackette]

Iggy's Episode is absolutely my favourite followed by Prompto and then poor Gladio. My favourite recipe is Quick Recipeh ;). It was a godsend for the kill 100 enemies with Total Clarity trophy, plus some sweet s when all the mechs are closing in with their big boy missiles and the whole screen is a mess and you don't know where you are anymore. The technique can fail (which locks you out from doing basically everything but jump) but it only happened to me once.

[@KATinBLACK]

Many confessions were made, but Ignis's made me both cry and fangirl

[@destroyermcw626]

Thank you ROYAL EDITION!!!

[@mikigirl18]

I agree with you on the lag that goes on with the switching characters. I also hope that they patch it so that it remembers your character you last used in battle so it automatically starts you switched with that character.

[@spokidokes]

My feelings were summed up in the first 5 seconds.

[@maeishellarad1683]

I've watched a majority of every "for Beginners" video you posted and I've watched FFXV for beginners back and forth until I could afford a PS4 (because when you're an adult no one wants to buy you consoles and games anymore XD ). I digress, I've watched your content, your yellings, I played FFXV remembering every tips and stuff lodged into my brain from thine buttery voice and it helped. The DLC's got me emotional like "hoo boy *feels why you like dis?!* ugh..." my favorite episode had to be Ignus just for the gameplay. The tears from the story. The yelling for every usage of potions because _I'm a bad gamrr_ . Buns, thank you for all your vids and the many more to come ^^

[@TarossBlackburn]

Personally, after playing through FFXV and then trying out the alternate verse, I've been wondering how the alternate ending could be possible at all. They make it very clear that the power of the Crystal AND the power of the entire line of Lucis - Including Noctis - would be needed to take out Ardyn and then the Starscourge. And it makes the entire game a very poignant story of coming of age, accepting responsibility and the bittersweet ending that a "Happily Ever After' actually comes at a price. So perhaps because Ignis was willing to pay this bloodprice, the at that time power of the kings was just enough to destroy Ardyn's physical body. Even though he's immortal and would obviously be back at Insomnia for the end this blow could have weakened him enough to not need /all/ of the aforementioned power to wipe him and the Scourge out. This could mean that Noctis could live... But it still doesn't excuse Ignis for not going blind OR dying at all after making his contract. Did the crystal take pity on him? Can Noctis overrule the covenant? I mean, it was a good dlc and some nice speculative writing... but it was missing ~some~ things to explain this loophole.

[@DoctorObjection]

I waited until Ep. Ignis to play the season pass that I bought months ago. Marathoned all three of them excluding Extra Verse Ignis because it was two in the morning. That said Ignis easily took the day and was by far the best DLC for story reasons and cause EV is just really interesting.

[@puffpuffpassmako]

This is my favorite dlc out of the three, open world altissia, playable Ignis, amazing story, and the ending when noctis and Ignis hold hands just like how they did when they first met as kids and you can see ignis crying in happiness...it had me in tears. Episode ignis may not be the best for all of you but you can't disagree the story is powerful af and the ending pulls your heart strings

[@MissFarewells]

*The level of emotional damage this left me with is beyond theraphy - Thank you Square.*

[@carlotta4th]

(Spoilers) Yeah, I agree. I've heard some fans say stuff like "it's the new canonical ending!" And "they just figured out a way to let Noctis survive while he was away, it's totally possible." But I say nuh-uh, Bahamut was very clear. "Providence is the SOLE means of ending the immortal accursed, only can the chosen king receive it and only at the cost of a life--his own." The alternate ending either retconned plot to make a happy go lucky ending for the fans who complained about that, or Ignis was tricked (either by the crystal itself or Ardyn). I don't see the ending as happy at all, really. Ignis was willing to let Ardyn destroy the entire world (which seems out of character for Iggy) and at the end he calls throne Noctis "your majesty"--is it just a coincidence that those are the exact words Ardyn asked him to use? Something is fishy.

[@michaelgleghorn9779]

Is nobody else thinking that Ignis with the stormboost blades looks so much like Sonic in the movie? Just zipping around at the speed of who-the-hell-knows miles per hour.

[@xthe_nojx5820]

I'm not really an FF fan, but situations like, "Getting slapped with icicles by the Dude on Fire." are the reason why truly love videogames. GG Buns you da Pastry.

[@ThePhantomAlliance]

Tszuj is one of the best words ever, thank you for using it. Also how the Frick did someone come up with Tszuj!?

[@jkbobful]

in the alternate ending the sun did rise I guess they just ignored the fact that their needed to be a sacrifice Square confirmed at a GDC in 2016 that alternate realities are a thing so who to say its not cannon but just another reality

[@zelamorre1126]

I think that the rub on this comes from the fact that it's in Ignis's paid DLC and not in the main game. If they had made it possible to get this ending through the main game, nobody would care. Multiple endings are a thing in video games after all.

[@xrossplayxino]

"Man I am a sheeple... Oh my god." -> Best line ever.

[@ithilweenshadowsong8151]

It's 2020 and the game is amazing.

[@Nixahma]

Buns I just finished this story and that intro cracked me up someone call an ambulance its 1am and i’m not up for this ptsd

[@frostmaverick593]

FF15 had phenomenal gameplay, and the potential to be amazing. And I'm glad the dlc's are adding the story it so desperately needed, because the base game had a lot of "so what" moments. Luna's death had an amazing flashback scene, except it didnt have the impact it shoulda cuz we hardly ever saw her. Her home being destroyed had NO impact, because we were never even there. Same with Noct's home to be honest, coming back to it being overrun with daemons would have been a lot more impactful if we spent time in it first. I hardly cared about ravus because once again he was hardly in the game. The game lacking that killed most of the scenes that were supposed to be amazingly emotional. FF15 is the one that got away

[@frostmaverick593]

MC I feel like ff15 woulda been fantastic if not for two things, for one the fans rushed the devs to hurry up. For another thing, I feel like they probably scrapped some stuff since this was supposed to be in 13's universe, but fans were getting sick of 13. Which is fair, but probably wouldnt have really affected this game.

[@zelamorre1126]

Luna was such a wasted character. The game wanted you to be invested in her, but how could you be? Even the flashback scenes between her and Noctis were when they were children, and the impetus behind their marriage is obliterated almost immediately. We didn't have much of a reason to care. She was just kind of hanging out looking pretty in cut scenes and then she was dead. LOL.

[@Wanderingsage7]

The au ending could be taking place in whatever afterlife there is in Eos. Like, years later.
