Mon small world

Their band name is The Last Glaives

you’re assigned to film the backstage documentary, so you get to see the real them while they’re touring

Noctis is the main vocalist, he writes the music and is the most popular member of the band

Prompto is the backup vocalist + plays the Bass

“Because nobody notices if u make mistakes on the Bass!”

he and Noct are always in interviews together because Noct is bad at public speaking and Prompto is AWESOME at it

they’re always memeing on their official profiles, it’s how the idea of the band started in the first place

the band first went viral because Prompto accidentally posted a backstage snapchat story publicly where his prank backfired and the black chocobo pecked him in the crotch

he’s always embarrassed about it, but it launched them into fame overnight so all is good!

Nyx is on the Guitar, a solo musician who uses a discontinued vintage model which he named Galahd, the gorgeous instrument is always with him in every publicity photo and is as famous as he is

“I’m a temporary member since the band changes guitarists every tour, are you sure you should be filming me?”

Gladio plays the drums and is the only one who can keep up with the messy way Noct writes the parts

sometimes dyes his mohawk flame red so when he whips his head around during his solos it looks like a phoenix coming alive onstage

“I just love pounding on the drums, you know? You don’t get to let loose and be yourself in a normal day job.”

Ignis used to be the permanent Guitarist but a terrible car accident injured his playing arm and left him with a face full of scars, he stopped playing on stage after that.

right now he’s focusing on being the manager of the group’s activities

He deals with the businessy side of the band, taking care of contracts and sponsorships, and the complicated reports to the agency about their activities and progress.

He’s the persistent voice in Noctis’ ear when it’s time to stop procrastinating and to start writing on that new song or album

“Sometimes I have to help him find inspiration in other works, or by showing him how happy he makes his fans with every new piece. Other times, it is straight up bullying him to put down that video game and get in the studio.”

Prompto’s favorite part is when the fans go crazy at the sight of him, the screaming and flustered chaos before a song is what gives him life

Noct’s favorite part is the singing, especially when the audience have memorized the lyrics and are singing it with him

Ignis is surprisingly popular considering he only showed up for a few early songs, he blames “the cliche character traits” he falls into with the glasses and suit

he’s not aware that he’s really attractive even outside the character trope and even with the scars on his face, he just can’t see it!

no pun intended

at first Gladio seems under appreciated musically, because nobody notices the importance of the drums in a live performance, but he’s okay with it

“it’s just fun to play a gig with my buddies and get it right every single time!”

he’s super popular on fanblogs though, so who cares what snobby magazines think!

Nyx is relatively older than the rest of them and actually belongs to a different agency, but the group has no permanent guitarist and his schedule was open

their music is always upbeat and intense and he liked it, but he was never one to stick with any one band for too long

The running theme of their music is the need to bring back the light to a gloomy world, and they’re the warriors who would do it if it cost them their lives

the fans don’t realize it, but Noct actually has a chronic illness that flares up one time while you’re filming and you catch the whole ordeal on tape

it starts off like a panic attack where he can’t breathe, which makes it difficult to actually sing his lines and they end up having an unscheduled intermission

but it continues to escalate to the point where he can’t hold himself upright without assistance, his knees buckle from under him and his headaches get really bad

you film Ignis trying to convince him to cancel the rest of the night’s show but he wouldn’t disappoint the fans like that, and pushes through with sheer willpower

Prompto is crying and worried for his friend’s life, even though “It happened before but it’s still hella scary!”

Gladio slaps Noct on the back in encouragement and helps him back to the stage to finish the night

“Noct’s stubborn, so I might as well support his dumb decisions. at least this way i’ll be there to catch him before he falls.” 

Nyx is concerned but entertained by the whole fiasco since nobody actually died “it’s like that time I toured with Libertus and he fell off stage but insisted on finishing the concert with his leg in a fresh cast.”

at the end of the show you ask Ignis if you should cut this part out of the documentary, and he considers your words for a while.

eventually he tells you to keep it in, the fans need to see how hard they’re is working for the world’s happiness

it started off as just another job but now you’re really in love with all these boys and their music is bomb!

“NO ONE CAN TOUCH MY SON!!!!”

I know people will be sick of me spamming the tags, but just hear me out on this one.

I always thought it was adorable in-game the way Cor Leonis constantly validates Prompto’s battle efforts whilst he’s with the party.

He is always telling Prompto to “keep it up” and that he’ll “get it soon”. There’s countless “good work, Prompto”. Cor doesn’t say this to Ignis or Gladio either, just purely Prompto.

Then we were told that Prompto wasn’t trained in combat like Gladio and Ignis were, that’s he’s literally playing catch-up and learning as they go.

And then in Final Fantasy XV Prologue Parting Ways we are told that Cor arrives at the Citadel with Prompto so that Prompto can get his Crownsguard clothes. Poor Prompto is nervous to meet Clarus Amicitia and he affirms that he has completed his self-defense training ahead of their journey to Altissia.

We’re later told that Prompto hasn’t seen much of his parents since he was a kid.

So I’m putting it out there that Cor is the one who trained Prompto in self-defense. And maybe Cor found a kindred spirit in the Prince’s outlier friend? Cor was 15 when he traveled with Regis and I’m guessing he’s from outside Insomnia for him to be capable of fighting alongside the King at that age - one ins’t born a great fighter, but some serious shit needed to have happened to young Cor in order for him to excel at such a young age.

And maybe during their training Prompto mentioned he doesn’t see much of his folks and wants to show them his Crownsguard clothes as proof he’s doing something worthy.

That’s why Cor constantly validates and congratulates Prompto - him and the kid have bonded over the course of the self-defense training and Cor recognises just how low Prompto’s self-esteem is. He never berates him or tears him down for a mistake, instead Cor makes suggestions on how to improve for the next battle and constantly confirms Prompto’s actions as a good thing.

That’s why Prompto is so excited in-game when he learns they’re gonna meet up with the Marshal - Cor is his stand-in father figure.
