One day, my niece was playing ffxv and she was at the chapter where Aranea join the boys to fight in the dungeon. So i was watching her playing that chapter.
I found something weird about Iggy. He was always with Aranea. Usually he would be the one shielding Noctis. But he just let Noctis defend himself. Iggy was busy protecting Aranea. And he talks more that he usually do. Where ever she goes he follows her. There was a part where he uses Aranea's weapon to do his high jump. Thats a shocker for me. Because this dude who is so loyal to Noctis just abandon Noctis for someone else.Haha.
Before this,when i played i didn't realise it because i was to focus on fighting the daemons. And then, my niece said that there are people ship Ignis and Aranea. So, i was getting more curious(its that even the right word,haha). So, i went online to see other peoples reaction to this pairing. Heck, i even found people Prompto/Aranea and Gladio/Aranea. So, i went to look at other ships as well.
Prompto/Aranea give me the vibe of siblings. Maybe because i think Prompto is into Cindy. While Gladio/Aranea, i saw people posting there a picture of this two laughing and a comment from the bros how close they are. So okay. Maybe they are a thing. What makes me weird is that if they are a thing. Why is it when Aranea is the party member, Ignis the one protecting her? Shouldn't Gladio be protecting her? I even saw a placemat or something for ff cafe where one of the picture is Aranea was holding a bowl of food in one hand and Ignis is writing a recipe in a book.
Usually i'm not fond with older female character and younger male, but with these two i find it really nice. Maybe because Ignis is very mature and goes well with Aranea. I even found other players postings on Aranea in the team. Ignis is always with her. Even the part where usually the boys be sitting at Takka's bar when accepting the hunt,Ignis was the only one missing when Aranea is a party member.
There is quite a lot of evidence that this two might be a thing but they don't want it to overshadow Noctis/Lunafreya.
Conclusion, now i ship Ignis/Aranea so hard and i dont think i can come back. Haha.
Ps: My english is not that good.
Ps:I want Iggy to get a girl!He deserves it! (I don't understand why a character like Iggy seldoms gets the girl)
