just a few of many of Ignis' original Japanese lines that were changed (along with his personality) in FFXV's English localization.

I will never shut up about how CLEAR and STRAIGHTFORWARD Ignis actually speaks in Japanese! As in, it's wonderful to listen to, he has that serious, no-nonsense feel to him. He doesn't use big words like he does in English (which makes him sound pompous at times imo), but he doesn't have to because he sounds intelligent and competent regardless.

Meanwhile, Gladio is sensitive and occasionally uses poetry and idioms in Japanese. And in English, he just sounds like a... bruh. 🥲

The Japanese Cultural Significance Behind Older Ignis’ Hairstyle

this is something i’ve touched upon a couple times before, but i felt like going a bit more in-depth and i have 24/7 blorbo brain, so here we go

I love this so much! (Also not me showing my age being stupidly happy seeing Slam Dunk's Sakuragi and Yuu Yuu Hakusho's Kuwabara and Urameshi in a FFXV essay like please that's my childhood right there!)

Okay, first of all, my honest first reaction seeing Ignis' pompadour and even Gladio's mullet was 😩 the XV dev team is led by old Japanese men lmao. But on a more serious note, it is true that the hair was definitely A Choice, and it was a choice based on what the devs were familiar with. A pompadour stands for all the things that were mentioned here, and we can see these even in the way Ignis moves after the timeskip. There is confidence, there is swag, but also dare I say, there is rage there, but one accepted and let go.

I jokingly describe older Ignis as "unhinged" before, but really it's a half-joke. Look at the guy, look at the world they are in, and think about what else is in store for them. There's a certain attitude you need to take on in order to even find the strength to keep facing it all.

[bestboyignis]

Ignis: Things will not go as planned if we are one person down, especially if it's you.

Gladio: Heh, what a strict tactician.

[bestboyignis]

Prompto: Aranea, how come you are here?

Aranea: It's part of my job to exterminate daemons, so I was on patrol.

Gladio: Thanks to you, we were saved.

Aranea: You are welcome. Then, I shall return to my patrol.

Ignis: We are grateful.

Aranea: Sure. See you.

What I love about this exchange is how Gladio and Ignis both used more polite speech and professional phrases to thank Aranea. They are more formal with her, whereas Prompto and Noct talk more casually with Aranea.

[bestboyignis]

The first time I discovered one can train with Aranea, I was playing without HUD and so missed that there is a parry opportunity during the aerial fight. I kept getting a boot to the face 😂

[bestboyignis]

He's so mad when it comes to crustaceans 😭

[bestboyignis]

After years of playing this game, I'm just making unnecessary rules as I go.
