[Ardyn looks very much surprised.]
Ardyn: Good heavens. Are you still trying to win?
[Noctis struggles to get up.]
Ardyn: You’ve got an overdeveloped sense of vengeance. It’s going to get you into trouble some day.
[Noctis watches Ardyn approach.]
Noctis: Hello. My name is Noctis Lucis Caelum. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
[Noctis stands up to defend while raising his voice.]
Noctis: Hello. My name is Noctis Lucis Caelum. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
[Some more back and forth happens. Noctis has Ardyn backed up against a table, cornered.]
Noctis: … offer me everything I ask for…
Ardyn: …anything you want…
[Noctis points the Sword of the Father to Ardyn’s chest.]
Noctis: I WANT MY FATHER BACK, YOU SON-OFA-BITCH!

final Fantasy XV 1st anniversary 29-11-2016

If they ever tell my story let them say that I walked with giants. Men rise and fall like the winter wheat, but these names will never die. Let them say I lived in the time of Noctis, bringer of the dawn. 

Remember Me – Josh Groban – Troy, James Cameron.

I hate the idea

rsasai:

I hate the idea of Noctis walking to the throne and Ignis, Gladio, and Prompto allowing him to do it.

It hits me because… this game, for saying it is about hope, is not about hope. It’s about sacrifice. 

I was talking with @demishock and we were talking about what we think should have happened. I really think I am going to end up writing the story where Ignis, Gladio, and Prompto only let Noctis walk up those stairs because they know…

Once the dawn rises, they’re going to go through hell and back to save their friend.

No “worn out and tired, accepting destiny.”

Fuck that.

I imagine them cleaning the blood from their weapons and walking into the Citadel. They manage to get to the Throne Room, and they take down Noctis’s body. He’s still warm and he could be almost mistaken for sleeping.

They bring him down to the first floor, and Ignis tells the others that he believes he knows how to save Noctis—

And this begins a climb up the Citadel. I imagine it is 113 floors of hell on Eos. They carry Noctis up the stairs, fight the daemons, and fight the Kings and Queens that have taken Noctis’s soul.

Every 10 flights, they meet one of the Armiger Kings and Queens. They fight their own demons. Their own insecurities. Their own fears. All for Noctis.

They won’t fail him.

They won’t.

They refuse to let Noctis die. 

He deserves to see the dawn
