#why square

in Verse 2, the Noctis who shows up and willingly goes into the Crystal is so out of character compared to how Noctis acts up until that point. upon seeing Ignis' sacrifice, he's mature, apologetic, and self-aware (unlike the Noctis of the canon timeline, who reacts like he does in Chapter 10).

i can't even imagine how deeply it hurt Ignis to be treated the way he was in canon, which is why it makes sense to me that Ignis would imagine a version of the story where Noctis appreciates him and his sacrifice actually fixed everything.

Ohh im pretty sure it is a fantasy/non canon.

I think it was square pressure to give the fans an alternate happy ending, cause at the time so many pple were pissed at the ending(even though i thout it was good)

My headcanon for verse 2 is that ignis is either in a coma from the ring or straight up dead and that's his version of heaven.

Cause they never actually said its canon or anything, its literally a fanservice ending(also fair for the players who perfected the combat and beat ardyn under a certain time), so its nothing more than square's trophy for good job.

Also noctis change of hear happens at the end of chapter(i think 13, the one when you have nothing but the ring)

I think him being separated and powerless was the last straw that made him realise that hey, he do care about pple, and that he wanna be better. Thats why even though everyone hate this chapter, i love it(and love that they gave us the gladnis alternate in an update)

But id recommend playing the original route first especially for jap players.

Actually when they lose prompto is when the spark starts, cause he realise that his anger and hatred blinded him not to notice that he tricked him, and he hurt prompto(also in the eng version its not so obvious but in the jap its pretty obvious that he realised what he did when it happened).

So yeah over all the localization was really bad, to the point the story lost sometimes its sharp points.

But hey at least the localization in ffxvi is *chef kiss*

They feaking pull a Neku case on Sora.

This two boys deserve better than be launch again to another deal there that soon.

I feel bad for Shiki and Beat. Beat is the only one that saw what happen to Neku and has to tell the rest this and it hurts me bc Shiki and Neku were about to continue talking later and shopping the next day ; ;

Good is we know Sora will made it back and we will see it but idk about Neku if they leave the saga unfinished like this...

So I finally got my stuff done and I can sit down and type about this in a way that’s actually understandable.

- Time Travel???? Why Square.

-Murder? Could be a red herring. No definitive proof it was him yet. (though the odds are not in his favor)

-Is he a union leader?

-Does he have a keyblade?

-Good/Bad? (Kind of goes along with the murder one)

I’m not super excited about this development but I’ll be watching where it goes, agonizing over the wait periods. Curious if he’s going to end up being a Chi antagonist. Also curious as to if this is their way of including former Nobodies without them being in KH3.

****The biggest thing: WHy. TimE. TrAvel. (Looking at you too Ventus). Unless this just so happens to be Marluxia’s relative from however long ago Chi was, who he just happens to be named after or have an anagram name of– Though I highly doubt that.

Speaking of, how long ago is Chi supposed to take place?
