This actually implies a crossover with the Watch Dogs games as well. In the first game, one of Aiden’s convoy missions involved Alvaro Gramatica, who was being targeted by “the Brotherhood.” Alvaro is a Templar in Assassin’s Creed, a high-ranking member of the Order and a top executive of Abstergo Industries, the Templar front company. The Brotherhood are the Assassins. Then we have this. A scene from Bayek’s memories of that guy from FFXV doing a thing. Since this is canon, that means Assassin’s Creed, Watch Dogs, and Final Fantasy all exist together.

And, since AC lore is so easy to retcon the fact that this stuff appeared in game is just a little bit easier to justify than say Chocobos in The Witcher would be. In other words, I'm glad I got some good gear. But, I'd still prefer it to be true AC canon.

made me want to tear my eyes out when I first saw this

[@tommyvercetti9434]

You see, this is actually explained in one of the comics. Ardyn is actually the reencarnation of the Isu called Nix the ctonic Goddess of night and that dragon was an experiment from project Draconis run by the Isu scientist...

[@JeremiahEcks777]

Or... He's Ardyn Lyn summoned from another universe. 🤷‍♂️

[@tommyvercetti9434]

@@JeremiahEcks777 Makes no sense either way, like the rest of this franchise at this point lol

the ultimate geek test is to see this and say "why this has such a Final Fantasy energy?", glad we all passed

[@aincrix51]

YOOOO, I WAS ABOUT TO SAY THE SAME THING TOO- I was about to exclaim "FINAL FANTASY XV CROSSOVER?!?!"

[@alumlovescake]

Ardyn acts like he always just goes to Egypt and gets sent back by Bahumut every monday morning he is so casual about it. FFXV had whole side quest with voice acting and everything about AC + costumes however it is not only available, sad the game that has the inferior content keeps it

[@ItalianAssassin06]

Those are still to this day my favourite gear pieces in AC Origins

[@thatguyfromA6915]

i was waiting for it to cut to a mgs4 cutscene with the assasin suit on

[@Sleepnt117]

Partway through, I saw what the dude who came out of the explosion was wearing and the angel thing and legitimately thought: "Oh, it's a joke. This is Final Fantasy or something." Then I saw the mission complete and now I'm worried. Did they actually mess up this bad?

[@gregrobinette8620]

It is Final Fantasy, its a crossover. They didnt mess up, this was a skipable side mission, it was never canon.

[@Sleepnt117]

@@gregrobinette8620 Oh, thank God. Thank you, this is actually a huge relief for me :)

[@gregrobinette8620]

​@@Sleepnt117 yeah, if you didnt play Origins I'd recommend it. Tho I'd skip this side quest, I'll find the name for ya; "A Gift From The Gods" in Saqqara Nome, by a pyramid. If you record videos, I actually like the sun dial puzzle, but I'd cut footage after that.

[@Sleepnt117]

@@gregrobinette8620 Thank you! I played it a bit in the past, but don’t think the story made much sense to me. It seemed like I was missing a lot of information, almost like I was playing a sequel game for Bayek’s story. I have wanted to give it a second go for a while, though, and think this may be my call to :)

[@toowingless9473]

When will people realize they didn’t remove the crossbow for historical accuracy but because it couldn’t be balanced. After all, pretty sure apples of eden and assassins with hidden wrist blades weren’t jumping into hay bails during the crusades either but idk. I guess people pick and choose when old AC was “historically accurate “

My favourite moment from history is when a fiorentine noble almost killed the pope in an alien bunker

"We really care about historical accuracy" about 5 minutes later "So here is this giant crab"

[@theneoangeles]

Stop beeing dumb, of course avery thing not related to the "magic" dimension of AC is historicaly accurate, but when it comes to the Isu/precursors of course it's not, and so it is for the crossover with FF15.

[@NicoGrosso78]

still makes more sense than all of odyssey

[@MisterK9739]

What in Odyssey doesn‘t make sense exactly?

[@the_seer_0421]

​@@MisterK9739like, a bunch things... Let's start with the very core concept of the game itself.

[@MisterK9739]

@@the_seer_0421 A game set in Ancient Greece (amazing historical setting: check). You are a descendent from a bloodline with connections to the Isu (sth taht has existed ever since AC4 at least, arguably since AC1: check). You fight a secret order that tries to rule the world (the typical AC struggle: check). Every major "mythological" experience is due to Isu artifacts and technology, inclusing Kassandras "superpowes" and the "monsters" we fight. So again, what exactly doesn´t make sense?

[@the_seer_0421]

@@MisterK9739like that whole last part of your reply. With other words, we are playing as a full on demigod hundreds of years before even the slightest idea of a creed was in anyone's mind, fighting an enemy that has pretty much no relevance in the big picture and introducing unnecessary retcons that break already established lore and have full disregard towards it. All this accompanied by the writing skills of a 14 year old fan fiction writer. Oh and making it into a shallow, borderline mmo stylized "rpg". Everything about the game just feels wrong.

I never played finale fantasy before and Origins was my first AC game 😅 got quite confused when I saw this cutscene back then

[@RenatoGPadilla]

I'd just fijished FFXV before playing this and my dad got this scene and lost his SHIT because he kinda recognized the characters... I proceeded to lose mg shit because Ultima and Zeidrich came back to me after grinding like hell for them back in 15 and I was TREMENDOUSLY happy! Kweh was the only mount I used as well.

how tf did we go from "hidden wristgun and crossbow are removed for historical accuracy" to this Devil may Cry stuff :)

Don't be a fool They never claimed to have removed a cross bow for historical accuracy for AC origins Stop making shi up

[@LilTy702]

When I found this just playing the game, I had no idea it was a final fantasy thing, and I just saw a bunch of swords and glowing shit and I was like oh this is probably some final fantasy shit
