Part 30 (Final): Sacrificial King

Noctis & co. enter the citadel...

Ardyn decides to give us a 'warm welcome...'

BY THROWING IFRIT AT US.

................................................

I SEE HOW IT IS. FINE THEN.

LET THE ENDGAME BEGIN.

Spoiler

This fight... to be honest...

Wasn't overly difficult. Was it because of my over-leveled status? Probably. But that was fine by me.

It was still a lengthy battle though. I only had to use a couple items.

I LOVED the part where Ifrit got REKT by Bahamut and then Shiva. It made me APPLAUD.

Afterwards... Noctis seems to be saying goodbye to his friends. The game even makes you choose a picture for Noctis to take with him.

.......................................................



Ardyn is finally confronted. He then incapacitates Prompto, Gladio and Ignis claiming they have no 'part in this'

ONE ON ONE IS FINE WITH ME.

IT'S FINALLY TIME.

ALL OF MY WEAPONS.

DOWN YOUR GOD DAMN THROAT.

Ready everyone?

FINAL BOSS FIGHT.

Spoiler

OH. MY. GOD.

THIS FIGHT.

It was just epic not hard.

I enjoyed it honestly.

It wasn't overly hard for me either. Using the Ring of Lucii helps to dodge his assaults with Holy. Which also deals damage. Which is also nice.

Again only some item use was required.

At the end... both Noctis and Ardyn were tired and couldn't do much. Except Ardyn who kept attacking me. You really can't dodge here which made it... annoying. So more item use had to be done.

Attacking constantly seemed to be the answer. As it eventually led to Noctis doing exactly what I wanted him to do.

USING. ALL. WEAPONS.

ARDYN GETS STABBED. FINALLY. THIS *squee!* DIES. AND STAY DEAD.

Noctis heads for the throne... while his friends deal with another horde of Daemons.

More goodbyes..................

...............................................................

I...

No...



Noctis summons the past kings of Lucis....

They... start attacking him...........



...................................................................



This isn't happening....

........................................

Noctis ends up in some ethereal space. Where he faces off with Ardyn one last time and finishes him off for good.

Then....

Disintegrates........



Wait... Cyber Sleuth did the same thing before he was brought back. So that'll happen again... right?



RIGHT?!



..............................................................................................

There seems to be a monument on the throne with Noctis' full name on it. After the credits........

Noctis and Luna seem to finally be together and married and even share a kiss. Fitting I suppose.



.......................................................

THE END.


IT ENDED LIKE PERSONA 3.


NOCTIS IS DEAD.

I...

I just...

I don't know what to say...







You know what?

I thought about it for awhile after I was done.

I just can't do it.

Was it an ending where the game gave me a 'double middle finger?' Yes. Obviously.

But I just can't do it. I can't hate the game just because of the ending.

Why?

Because of the experience and the time spent on the game. I just LOVED this game too much to hate it just for the ending.

At least Noctis and Luna are finally together?

Final thoughts:

Do I wish the ending was better? Of course I do. But it doesn't matter. The game was just too AMAZING to hate it just for the ending.

Therefore... my final thoughts on Final Fantasy XV are.......

BEST. GAME. EVER.

Also... with the game beat... I've completed my 'challenge' as well. I now NEVER have to watch Equestria Girls 4 EVER. DEAL WITH IT.
