I think I have figured out the name of this guy. Tell me what you think.

We've seen in the trailers, there is a peace agreement to be signed between the kingdom of Lucis (represented by King Regis Lucis Caelum) and the kingdom of Niflheim (represented by the guy in the image above). Now, take a look at these posters that are hung all over Lucis.

A little hard to read, but you can make out Lucis on the bottom right, and Niflheim on the top left. Now, look above Lucis, it reads Regis Lucis Caelum. There is also a name on the bottom left, below Niflheim. Since we've seen both Regis Caelum and the guy above in duels, I am guessing it's his name that's mentioned. You can also see the Niflheim's red logo on him in the image below:

Alright! So, take a look at the images below now, and if I'm reading this right, his name is Idola Eldercapt.

That guy is going to look ridiculous with wings during the final boss.

The Elite · Jun 14, 2013

Let's hope he is good. The last few FF villains haven't been all that interesting. At least in the games that I've played.

Nah, the dad is the final boss.

Equinox · Jun 14, 2013

Nice observation. I think you're right.

BlazingDarkness · Jun 14, 2013

Haha, good catch!

Idola sounds like a woman's name (and we don't necessarily know that he's the 'real' villain), but ya never know with FF!

Also, I see a dragon emblem - Bahamut confirmed xD

There has not been a good villain since Kefka.

I wonder what his name translates to.

Conciliator · Jun 14, 2013

Todd.

Just Todd.

H_Prestige · Jun 14, 2013

Kind of reminds of the very first Versus trailer where Noctis' last name was displayed front and center and no one realized it.

Nope - it's the soup.

badcrumble · Jun 14, 2013

This is FF, man. The odds are decent that whoever starts off looking like the main villain won't be the final boss.

Great find, though!

Exentryk · Jun 14, 2013

Idola translates to Idols in Latin. Eldercapt brings up nothing though. =/

Or the cook!

Hot Coldman · Jun 14, 2013

The real villain is Noctis all along!!!1

You're on a roll with these threads.

Crazy name. I can dig it.

It's the cook. He is finally fed up with people saying his soup is bad and decides to enslave all mankind and subject them to his awful soup.

Agree and I didn't even really like Kefka.

That looked like some pretty shitty soup.

Seven Force · Jun 14, 2013

Good eye.

Wonder what the over/under on him being upstaged by someone else is, though.

Duane Cunningham · Jun 14, 2013

Before I entered the thread, my guess would've been Cid!

Exentryk · Jun 14, 2013

There is also Latin phrases with "Idola ..."

Also, I wonder which of the other guys rules Solheim and Accordo. We know Stella is from Tenebrae.

Why does every guy with red hair in these Nomura projects have the same voice actor? Reno-Axel-This Dude. And they all are basically the same character.

daniels · Jun 14, 2013

To be honest i want this grumpy looking badass as a villain.

Hybrid897 · Jun 14, 2013

I guess the 6 on the left are on the Lucis side while the 6th on the right are niffleheim, with stella being the princess of Nifleheim and obviously noctis the Lucis prince.

Which explains the whole not wanting to but having to fight her and what not.

I'd be happy with this.

Thats possible, he could fly with his umbrella.

CLBridges · Jun 14, 2013

Good find OP, I'm loving all these FFXV analysis threads. I like his character design, seems real sinister. I'm excited for this game.

I was trying to be polite.

Exentryk · Jun 14, 2013

The left 6 are from Lucis.
Extreme right (Stella) is from Tenebrae
10th and 11th (Idola) are from Niflheim.

The other 3 we are not sure about. We know there are more kingdoms like Solheim and Accordo, and Niflheim is attacking these kingdoms. So it may not be that all are the enemies of Lucis.

ULTROS! · Jun 14, 2013

I have a feeling the guy with the headband as seen in the trailer is Stella's father.

He's the one wearing the fedora with the umbrella in the rain in the trailer, I think.

The King's name is Regis? I don't even mind the gratuitous use of Latin in this game, but I wish they wouldn't be so literal about it.

no really, he kinda looks like that Al-Cid guy from FFXII. I'm gonna guess he has a similar role, that he is from another country, not Niflheim or Lucis. The initial story premise isn't that different from FFXII.

Perhaps all the other countries have already been subjugated and thus 'recruited' into nifleheims army.

Wonder what purpose the crystals serve here.

He's my fav character so far.

TheExodu5 · Jun 14, 2013

It doesn't matter, he'll be superseded by an evil deity that was controlling him all along 90% through the game.

It's secretley the goddess Lightning.

QuiteWhittle · Jun 14, 2013

Anyone notice that they flash a younger portrait of the villian(with a different eye color) wearing a tuxedo before designating his current appearance?

Perhaps he's originally from Lucis?

HamPster PamPster · Jun 14, 2013

That guy is obviously being manipulated by the true villain who we haven't seen yet. This is a FF game after all

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
