The Chocobros deserve better @let-noctis-be-happy - Tumblr Blog

I often think about the beginning of FFXV and what was going on through Regis' head as Noctis prepared to leave. What do you say to your son who you've always shielded that the road ahead will be hard, and you won't be there for him anymore, but he still has to keep moving forward no matter what? Without rousing suspicion? The weight of knowing these would be his last words to Noctis. So he settles on "walk tall" as he watches his son leave, hoping that these two words will help Noctis in the future while he isn't there to help himself

other thing about ffxv: it really does capture that vibe of how like. you grow up, and you start to participate in and become aware of the wider world around you in a way you couldn’t have when you were younger, and you start to realize that things are going horribly awfully wrong. the whole world as you knew it is falling apart around your ears, and it feels like something very immediate and sudden - something you could stop if you just act fast enough. but the truth of the matter is that things have been going wrong for a very long time, before you were even born, and short of a miracle there is nothing you can really do about it.

through noctis’s perspective, this isn’t immediately obvious, but the world outside of insomnia is nearly post apocalyptic in the scale of the damage that has been done. entire settlements have been reduced to ruins within living memory. and so for all that the events of the game may feel like this abrupt boiling over that noctis must deal with Now lest more irreversible damage be done, the fact is that the sacking of insomnia was an inevitable conclusion they had been building towards for decades. and all the adults they grew up with knew this and didn’t tell them bc what could they have done about it at 12 years old? there’s something about it that just felt very emotionally resonant to me idk

#THIS!!!!#THIS!!!!!#its the base of the entire game and the kingsglaive movie #ffxv rambles

*grips you by the lapels* Can we PLEASE talk about the fact that Noctis straight up dies in the leviathan fight and how that informs every character decision he makes after that? Can we please talk about the fact that he deliberately hides this from everyone he cares about, so well that it's almost impossible for the player to even notice??? Can we please talk about Prince Noctis Lucis Caelum having to bear the weight of his own corpse?????

#YESSSSSS #I COULD NEVER PUT THIS INTO WORDS #what could he say anyway???#the leviathan fight also brings up ignis' blindness and noctis came back from the dead so hed see it as not as important #like it wasnt as damaging even if causes sleepless nights and a heavy weight on his shoulders #ffxv rambles #ffxv #noctis lucis caelum

another au... nyx gets forcibly conscripted into niflheim's army, and when drautos gets tired of the brat he took in constantly trying to kill him he shoves him off on tenebrae to be the oracle's guard.

Being a fan of both FFVII and FFXV at the same time is hell. Do you know how many times I accidentally wrong "Nibelheim" when I meant "Niflheim" and vice versa. It's such a specific problem but it HAUNTS ME

#NO LITERALLY #happens to me all the time #doesn't help that theyre both snowy settings like??#ffxv #ffvii

So I saw this art from @mysteriousbean5 and then I, too, wanted to draw Noct and Prompto gaming. Also happy late 8th birthday to FFXV :)

#CUUUUUTE!!!!#LOOK AT THEM #they def hand the control to each other when theyre struggling with a level #ffxv #ffxv fan art #prompto argentum #noctis lucis caelum

#THAT ONE TAKES SO LONG TO FILL???#FOR NO REASON?#in every run that one is the last one that gets filled up #the first time i managed to get to a 10 in fishing first I never touched it again #ffxv #noctis lucis caelum

Traumas aside...

I fully believe Prompto and Noct have tried to scan Prompto's secret barcode tattoo at least once, just to see what he could come up as.

#OH FOR SURE #if it comes up as nothing prompto would be like 'its because im priceless'#the goblins in noctis' brain say 'or worthless' but he bites that back #THE 120LBS OF BANANAS PFFT #ffxv rambles #noctis lucis caelum #prompto argentum

The most important part of the Altissia chapter is when they're being questioned by customs and Ignis looks at their party of:

1) Him 2) A college age punk 3) A man wider and taller than a fridge wearing no shirt and with several enormous scars 4) The actual crown prince of a neighboring country, making no effort to disguise himself

and decides their best cover story is

"✨We are students of the culinary arts.✨"

And it works.

How dare you hide this in the tags

STILL not over Gladiolus Amacitia btw. What if you were told your whole life to value someone's life over your own, to the point where you do not allow yourself to have a personhood or dedicate yourself to anything else, and then they made you stand idly by while he died. Twice.

ars-matron

And Iginis who was literally handed a four year old Noctis at the age of SIX after the queen died and was told Noct was his to take care of from then on!!
