Some Serious Final Fantasy XV Ending Spoilers Ahead
Turn the Regalia back if youโre still meaning to finish the broโad trip, Final Fantasy XV, as Kotakuโs resident JRPG and press sneak fuck, Jason Schreier, has the scoop from the gameโs director, Hajime Tabata, on the definitive status of the four friends after the gameโs big finish. One last chance before we go into full spoiler mode after the jump.
Final Fantasy XV fans can now rest assured: Ignis, Prompto, and Gladio are alive. In the gameโs ending, the three fought off swarms of demons to let Noctis complete his mission which included sacrificing his life. It wasnโt clear if the three bros were still alive, but Tabata told Schreier that they are alive while Noctis remains dead. The director added that we likely wonโt see them again in DLC that takes place after the game. While theyโre among the living that Noctis saved, Tabata shared that their ending is more bittersweet.
โObviously itโs very hard to pinpoint what exactly makes a certain person or character happy,โ Tabata told Kotaku, speaking through a translator. โThe fact that they were a party of four and one of the party is no longer there, itโll probably be hard to say that theyโre fully happy. That said, they needed to do what they needed to do, so they had that sense of purpose. And Iโm sure theyโre very proud of what theyโve achieved and what theyโve overcome. So in that sense maybe that overlaps with how we feel towards the game itself.โ
With Episode Ignis out this December, Tabata also dropped hints that the next batch of DLC may focus on Ardyn and Luna. Hopefully, theyโll eventually theyโll get to Episode Aranea. Beyond that, Tabata also talked about having an endpoint for the gameโs content. After finishing that, theyโd like to move on to a new IP on the next generation of consoles.
Final Fantasy XV is out now for PS4, Xbox One, and is coming to PC in early 2018.
