5 Final Fantasy XV Fan Theories That Potentially Change Everything!

Hope you all enjoyed the video! Bear in mind, these are just 5 of our favorites! There are PLENTY MORE! Which are your favorite theories? Let us know! 🙂

In the Prompto dlc, it is said that Prompto was actually a clone of Verstael (or however you spell his name) much like the other children which were later demonified and turned into niflheim soldiers. This is proven in Ardyn’s dlc where you meet a much younger Verstael who appears younger and identical to Prompto. Although the one loophole some people found with this is that none of the other clones seen in the dlc looked like prompto but yet again they never did a close up of their faces so who knows.

this sounds like the theoryt that the timeline splits in two in a way similar to ff1 where chaos altered time, which might mean that ff15 is the newest incarnation of the events of 1 and of ff9 which hints to garland having tried to take over the world before.

Ardyn is a character shrouded in mystery as much as tragedy. He is filled with so much rage and hatred, by the end of the game, that you can truly see there is no good left in him. In my opinion, he's about as insane and evil as Kefka. He even mind-controlled the emperor of Nilfheim, the same as Kefka did to Gestahl.

Well yeah.. the alternate timeline thing is a bit of a stretch, but at the same time it's the most realistic interpretation when you actually think about it, if noctis did die, he died in the exact same way as arydn, which would mean he couldn't possibly exist to be in the afterlife with Luna. (I think it was episode Ignis that mentioned arydn can't be allowed into the afterlife so has to be completely destroyed, and we saw noct be destroyed in the exact same way as him). More likely is he didn't die. But was summoned/teleported to the new timeline. Noct disappeared in kinda the same visual style as weapons being summoned/dispersed, a power that comes from the crystal, which is linked to the six. Ardyn dies, wiped from existence, new timeline created where he doesn't exist, the six summon/teleport noct to the new timeline (since he was already outside the world when it was reset)

Imo the only thing that could be used to disprove the alternate timeline thing is the picture that noct hands to Luna, but, if noct was just summoned from the astral plain rather than dying, he would still have that picture on his person.

Besides.. what's more likely for the story, noct dead, humanity killed off to the point it fits in 1 city and roadside garage, years of war with daemons has left the survivors damaged and broken in a destroyed world, or, happy ending, timeline reset without the bad guy, noct married Luna, the bro's fight over who's the best best man, noct rules Lucius, everyone's alive and doing great. (Iris plans to assassinate Luna and take her place, as it should be). Hell even if it is far fetched it's how I'm going to personally continue to think things ended, and I can, because it was left open ended for a reason 😂😆

so in the Alternate Timeline, Pryna still dies? The ending cinematic only shows Umbra.

If you look at the first comment in the ff 8 theories it answers by “Phoenix Down”

7:15 sounds like he story of lightning returns where you save people and than became the god of chaos or death.

I can’t quiet remember what the points made but I found one that Stella – obviously an Easter egg, – was Noctis and Luna’s unborn child.

Squenix just needs to make a freaking director's cut version of Final Fantasy 15 at some point. There are so many cool things found within both the lore and the characters themselves and it's a shame that it was never fully realized or elaborated on properly. Though, since they've already ran with the base game and back at this point, I don't really think they see the point in doing so. It's clear that the original producers of this game wanted to tell their story in a specific way, but development just kept getting in the way.

The tone they seemed to go for in development was much darker and involved. And while the theme of brotherly love and companionship isn't bad in and of itself, I feel those themes can only shine through when the characters actively learn more about each other and their disturbing character flaws. That and it fits with the whole "Gothic" theme the game gives off to me, personally.

my theory is that they just took the bible and told the story of jesus with final fantasy elements and used a narrative that centers only around the messiah viewpoint. i didn't enjoy the plot though i can be a better messianic redemptor in xenogears and have my mind blown by amazing characters and storylines.

5:23 on the right,I feel like I'm gazing at Sephiroth's eyes….

I think the ending scene with the photo is showing the funeral of noctis, then the photo on the throne is meant to honor noctis (?) then noctis n luna spirit comes out. Am i the only one that thinks this way lol

I accept theory 5 with a major twist. I looked at this as mythology. In mythology the gods tend to set everything in motion and know everything. Ardyn was the first chosen with the destiny of absorbing the darkness. In the generation of the 13 Lucian Kings before Noctis he's doing his job as the gods see fit. Upon the Rise of noctis it becomes Ardyn's task to set everything in motion. He's playing his part and being guided by the gods in just the same way as Noctis is doing his part.

At any point Ardyn could have killed everyone but he didn't. He wanted to prophesy to be complete and he wanted Noctis to kill him. At the end of the final battle (and in the knights of the round cinematic) he welcomes the eternal sleep and not waking up again. In fact he seems glad to be slain in the cinematic. I think he knew his entire destiny or it was revealed to him LONG before Noctis was even born. Problably guided and told by Gentiana. Still not entirely sure how Ifrit fits into this but it would make sense to have a god of fire (light) oversee and protect the one who's destiny it is to soak up all the darkness. Perhaps Ifrit's corruption and betrayal of the gods caused Ardyn to do more damage than he intended. Ifrit felt like the final boss to me and Ardyn was quite easy as compared.

Not just ravus but luna also suffered a major image remodel from kingsglaive to game,my conclusion is kingsglaive is just americanized, hence, the changes

vid starts at 1:50

Of the five only the timeline theory was my least favorite. first of all there's little information or evidence besides ones that is circumstantial at best and I just find it lackluster in general.
the Ifirit story and ardyn theory were the most compelling and base on what I know I wouldn't be surprise if I found out that they were real.
The rest are interesting and it would be a nice nod if they were true.

FFXV Episode: Ardyn. How cool whould it be?
