I-I don't know actually...
I know scans from magazines and whatnot aren't allowed, but idk about artbooks...
I thought the rule was don't post scans till the magazine is formally released. Since we get leak scans of so much stuff early from Japan.

Nah, Ravus had a demon arm. Same concept as the magitek soldiers turning.
Okay, I just checked. Post ending the sun sets at 7pm and the guys wake up to morning sun at 6am. I have no clue why you guys have only 5 hours of sun. Maybe a bug? If my game is bugged, thank God. I'm having fun doing all post game stuff in broad daylight.
I wish I knew. It makes sense story wise, but it really makes doing anything in the world a pain with such a short timer. I was hoping the post game would send me back to when the daylight was still normal. When my guys started waking up at 9, I thought maybe I had changed something and I looked all over to see if there was a way to make them get up earlier. I guess my game bros are just lazy.
Did you actually save your game after the ending? Because you should be waking up at 6am.
Yep.
Actually, I can't remember if I slept once I was returned to Caem. It returned me at 9 in the morning (just like when I left) so I assumed that was when it was going to start the day. I'll have to check whether sleeping changes anything.
Only thing I can think of is that you're sleeping at camps/trailers which means you wake up later because the boyz are partiyng hard all night. At hotels, you will wake up earlier.
Been talking to a few guys that have experienced this same thing. I got really curious about the sometimes inability to use Phoenix downs or other restorative items during Ardyn's second phase. Several time I've been killed and unable to use a Phoenix down or other healing item. They were all greyed out. This only happens when Ardyn is close to you, and his posture makes it look like he has some sort of telekinetic control over your body. It's happened to too many other people in the same fashion to be a bug. Could this be a mechanic of his? Pretty cool if so.
Also, did we get to see any cutscene of Shivas flying in the snowy area in the game? I remember seeing it in one of the trailer/vids, but I haven't encountered it in the game.
That's just the regular Shiva summoning sequence you saw in the trailer.
This is more of a technical question, but did the last campfire cutscene look bad for anyone else? It was bizarre, the entire rest of the game aside from Prompto's night photos looked great, but practically all of the three scene was covered by macroblocking. It literally looked like a prototype. In the grand scheme of things its not super important, but I couldn't concentrate on what was actually happening.
And what happened to Cor? I don't even remember why he didn't join you to Altissia. Did he have something better to do?
I guess my other big question is what does Prompto being an MT entail other than conveniently being able to open doors when the need arises? Is he part daemon?
It is finished!
It was literally the only photo I could select. I never saved any because I saw there was a limit and I was like eh fuck that. Saved this one though near the end because it was hilarious
Can't stop laughing at this.
Is the Lv 99 hunt Daemon supposed to be Glauca? The name of the quest strongly seems to hint at it.
That's interesting. What's the name?
Hot damn. This is much better than I remember. I need to listen to the OST someday.
"Dead General Kills The King"
Suppose it could be referring to Noctis but my first thought was definitely Glauca Vs Regis. The movie did seem to allow him a chance at living, and he had Magitek armor like Ravus and we all know how he turns out...
I think that's just a variation on the Samurai monster. I think I recall doing that hunt...

You got it mixed up. Ardyn was the healer of the people, he was chosen and ready to ascend. And then denied and replaced because he absorbed the plague into himself to save others. This act made him impure and immortal, and thus the crystal/gods denied his ascension, plus he was branded a daemon by his replacement (who took his name). He was forced to wander endlessly.
He succeeds. He wants to destroy the crystal, and end the lucis caelum bloodline. He knew about the prophecy, the 114th king would be the one whom the Crystal would accept. Regis knew this too btw, hence the sadness. So Ardyn sends Noctis on the way, beginning with the proposal to get him out during the conflict. He ensures Noctis will have all the tools and pacts to merge with the crystal and is willing to make the sacrifice. I think this is why he kills Luna who would die anyway, Noctis really needed to hate him to be ready and willing to do anything to make things right. Before that he didn't see Ardyn as the big bad yet.
Man, Yoshitaka Suzuki really delivered with the battle themes.
Yeah, this is very possible. It's also possible that the bloodline itself was shifted when the gods chose Izunia instead (maybe that's why Ardyn's armiger is red - because he's of a different lineage?) I wish the game was clearer about this.Just went back and listened to the comments the guys make regarding Ardyn when you examine the pictures before the throne room:
Noctis: Hmm. Guessing Ardyn was meant to appear in these too.
Gladio: Hmph. Never would've guessed that guy for royalty.
Noctis: He's been living a long time... In a world he could share with no one.
To me, this definitely sounds like its implying that they're both from the same royal line. I guess it still doesn't exactly confirm that they're related by blood, just that there's a single Lucis Caelum line that means you're chosen by the Gods.
EDIT: Ardyn does refer to the royal line as the "blood royal". I wonder if that's intentionally phrased to imply a single bloodline? Though I think I'm reading too much into it at this point.
Okay, I just checked. Post ending the sun sets at 7pm and the guys wake up to morning sun at 6am.
Was there an explanation on why Noctis went inside the crystal for 10 years but ended up in a prison?
And the prison was on a very cool looking island that you don't get to explore an inch of it, to boot.
What happened to the Greece-like town shown during development lol?
They should have just remove everything past chapter 9 and focus on making the open world more rich. I really don't understand why they went that way. We didn't need to go to Niflheilm or Tenebrae at all for the story to move forward. All that it needed was for Eos to have one more Town (southern coast near caem is perfect) and focus on taking back the throne. That part after chapter 9 is utter shit and really no reason to exist.
Wait, how does Ignis pilot the Type-F? Everytime I put him at the wheel and take off it throws manual control to me.anyone having trouble with Type-f landing, seriously use Ignis to drive you.
MAN he is so much better at it than Noct. Never screwed up a landing with him, he has a slight automation to his movement which makes landing on corners and whatnot much easier.
Noct just sucks so hard at driving man.
edit: just tested, and landing in the hidden area is also SO MUCH EASIER with iggy. God I love this man!
Wait, how does Ignis pilot the Type-F? Everytime I put him at the wheel and take off it throws manual control to me.
So...
- There were 4 people hanged at the throne but was merely an illusion. Niflheim Emperor, Regis, Luna and ????
- Luna and Noctis having a wedding. I guess this an afterlife?
- What happened to Prompto, Gladio and Ignis? I guess they die too?
- A footage was shown where they were camping. An afterlife? or just before the event going to Insomnia?
I know I finished the game but it feels like there's quite a lot of questions unanswered and I don't know even know what the hell I'm doing.

1. It's Nyx, protagonist of Kingsglaive.So...

Phew, glad I'm not the only one. Guessing it's pre-rendered and they compressed it.yeah that cutscene looked AWFUL to me. It had color banding everywhere and blockyness. I thought it was my new TV doing HDR wrong onmy pro.
but then i checked youtube and it was fine. so i'm not sure whats going on there..
- Nyx. from the movie. its meant as an easter egg and sort of as a way of saying "yeah, this guy had the rings power and died and yet i'm still here. No one can stand in my way to you" (or rather, "all of these people's deaths have lead to you being here. I win.")
Ah, it's no wonder I can't recognize him since I didn't watch the Kingsglaive yet.1. It's Nyx, protagonist of Kingsglaive.
3) I don't think so? Don't see why.
3. They are indeed dead. They're last shown going up against a large amount of daemons and next we see them they join Noctis in the afterlife along with Regis and Luna to destroy Ardyn for good. Not sure why people think it's "up to interpretation." It's not, they're dead.
Ah, it's no wonder I can't recognize him since I didn't watch the Kingsglaive yet.
Also, who the hell is the amoured knight who killed Regis? It was not even shown the game. At least for what I remember. I guess it was only from Kingsglaive too?
Did he show up in the game? Or it was just for the movie?Yes, that was General Glauca of the Empire.
Eye-opening because it gives TONS of depth to Ardyn's character and the plot as a whole, but sad that none of this was told effectively. I never even fully understand that he was the "true" heir to the throne, I thought he was just some distant ancestor who turned evil. The story as it was is very strong and memorable, but could've EASILY been one of the best of all time had they simply told it well and not chopped up in a thousand bits and plot points rushed or omitted entirely. We barely saw Luna and anything she did despite her being a major part of the story. We desperately needed a flashback scene that explained in detail the significance of the 114th King prophecy, why Regis was dying, etc., and have the scene end in this powerful moment that was literally featured ONLY in a trailer before anyone knew what the hell it meant back when that was put out.
It's this stuff that makes me go "aw come on, what the fuck guys??", the story was already there, it was all already laid out, they even put out materials and cutscenes for it, and proceed to not include it in the game at all. There are countless instances where they had every resource to tell a great story and dropped the ball.
Anyway, don't want to leave it on a sour note. This is one of the most interesting games I've played. Flashes of brilliance mixed with bafflingly poor choices, but you can't deny they didn't go for it at every turn. This is a truly special game.
