Very Professional. Most of the Time

Glaives with flowers.

The same procedure as every post!

“What the young Pelna lacks in experience, he makes up for with his incisive mind and quick wit.”

Magical knights of the good Republic.

Verstael is the Palpatine to Ardyn's Darth Vader. Verstael literally has plans to become God.

Ardyn is the Darth Vader to Iedolas, who represents all leadership in the evil empire.

Evil empire has a mechanized city with robotic defenses and processes or whatever.

Imperial City is dark.

Ardyn isn't the father, but the many times great-uncle.

Even the scene where Ardyn reveals his true name as Noctis is stuck in the Crystal is parallel with the pivotal scene between Vader and Luke Skywalker. Same scene.

Noctis must go through a long time of meditation to master the Force.

Luna and Leia wear the same trademark white, but Leia is the better princess. Square has always made their women characters demure and submissive in ways that Carrie Fisher would never have tolerated.

Ravus is the tortured Anakin with the metal hand/arm. (Also Nuada).

Cor is the moral mentor figure like Obi-wan, except younger and alive. Regis is the dead Obi-wan that only shows up at the very end.

Gladio is Chewie. Ignis is C-3PO. I guess that makes Prompto R2-D2, but R2-D2 seems more useful.

Nyx is Han Solo.

We’ll never get free / Lamb to the slaughter What you gonna do When there’s blood in the water

The price of your greed / Is your son and your daughter What you gonna do When there’s blood in the water

I disagree.
