* PreFinalBoss: In the initial release, Ifrit is serves as this before the final battle against Ardyn, and is the final battle with the full party. In the Royal Edition he is supplanted by the Mystic.

* LightIsNotGood: [[spoiler:Is the Astral of Light, and is also the one plotting the worldwide genocide of humanity.]]|

* JerkassGods: He's... really not the most inspirational figure in the lore. [[spoiler:He appointed the champions of light and darkness, and manipulated them both into killing each other without even remotely giving a rat's ass what anyone thought or felt. He even forced "absolution" upon the Kingsglaive due to their earlier treachery... which were committed because of ''his'' designs to begin with. When Ardyn is given the choice to defy his fate and does so, Bahamut is downright cruel in his dismissal of him -- then forces him to submit to that fate anyway. He essentially shoehorned absolutely terrible destinies upon Noctis and Ardyn (and the entire line of Lucis for that matter), and sold the whole thing with the promise of ''getting to die.'']]

* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler:...he was also the one who ''made'' Ardyn become the Accursed, turned the man into a long-suffering immortal, convinced Somnus to turn on Ardyn so the Accursed would be more embittered, and manipulated the entire conflict between Ardyn and Noctis.]] [[spoiler:The ''Dawn of the Future'' novel reveals his entire plan was to wipe out the line of Lucis and ultimately ''all of Eos'', using Ardyn (and later, Luna) to siphon power from the Starscourge to charge up his most powerful attack: ''Tera Flare''. The rest of the book chronicles Noct and co.'s path in defying his prophecy and saving the world from ''him''.]]

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: His hatred for humanity is justified in his backstory, [[spoiler:where humans started spurning his gifts ]].

* UnusableEnemyEquipment: Ifrit is this. He is the only Astral Noctis cannot form a Covenant with [[spoiler:because Ardyn already beat him to it and used the Starscourge to further reduce Ifrit into mindless thrall.]]

* DeathIsCheap: It's not entirely clear how death works for them. A few of them are explicitly said to be dead, but they're still available for Noct to summon after these "deaths" and still appear in the story. The lore implies that their true forms are perhaps on another plane of existence, and what you see in-game are merely physical forms they've taken on this plane because they felt like it; killing those forms means nothing to them but maybe a brief power loss. Further complicating things is that they were said to be sleeping before Lunafreya began her journey to awaken them and form covenants with them, but what that "sleep" means for them is unclear. [[spoiler:''The Dawn of the Future'' confirms that they exist both on the physical plane and "The Beyond", and cannot truly be killed unless slain in both. Five of them been sleeping to recover their power since the War of the Astrals after receiving the full brunt of Bahamut's wrath, while the latter retreated to the Beyond to do the same.]]
* {{Deconstruction}}: Of the concept of summons as they appeared in earlier ''Final Fantasy'' titles, who are often depicted as gods or divine beings that players earn the right to summon. The Astrals are ''much'' bigger than in previous titles and are so powerful that they can casually obliterate armies without effort, so people worship them as much out of fear as respect, or try to avoid them altogether in case they anger them. They also do ''not'' come to help you on command whenever you want like they're your pets, they will come when they feel like it and when the environment is hospitable towards them. Finally, the only reason they even give Noctis and Lunafreya the time of day is because they themselves are somewhat divine themselves, as the bloodline of the Oracle and the King of Lucis, most of the time they keep to themselves away from human civilization and prefer not to be disturbed.

* GodIsGood: She's really nice to Noctis and Luna, and is also the only Astral besides Bahamut (and maybe Ramuh) who seems to like humanity.

* BonusBoss: One of the superbosses only accessible through a sidequest, Naglfar brings the pain to Noctis and co. with its absurd damage output and sizeable health pool.

* BonusBoss: You really have to stray off the main story's path to encounter it, and it's predictably one of the toughest and longest boss fights in the game.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: She's barefoot, wearing only sparkling barefoot sandals. Ironically enough, it's perhaps a case of {{Irony}} as [[spoiler: Gentiana wears hilariously uncomfortable looking high-heels.]]

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Like Shiva, he too is barefoot, wearing only a single gold anklet.

* TheChooserOfTheOne: He was the one who chose the very first Oracle, [[spoiler:and also the one who chooses Noct to become the True King]].

* {{Expy}}: [[spoiler:To [[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1 Zanza]]. The TopGod of the world who's a GodOfEvil, who doesn't care about what he does to his lessers as long as his goals are met, who's a {{BFS}} wielder who shares a face with the protagonist, and whom is the ultimate BigBad of the story.]]?

->''Wretched insects of this alien world, rejoice and fall to your knees in '''supplication'''!''

* PersonOfMassDestruction: The threat she poses is greater than simply going on a killing spree: primals require vast amounts of aether to maintain their physical form. Left unchecked, she could drain Eos dry of its very life force.
* PowerEchoes: Her voice has a distinct distortion effect to it, befitting her being a destructive god-like being.

* TalkingAnimal: Communicates with Noctis via smartphone text messages, similar to [[LightNovel/{{Durarara}} Celty Sturluson]]. They even use emoji, sometimes. It's implied that they deliver these text messages telepathically, though the Moogle Chocobo Festival DLC shows Noctis referring to his phone while talking to them during the fireworks.

* BadassBaritone: IntelligibleUnintelligible he may be, but his voice is still pretty deep all the same.

* BadassBaritone: To downright subterranean levels, befitting the most powerful of the Astrals.

* TheRedBaron: The Death Goddess; while she's gentle, it's still a ''really'' cold embrace.

* JerkassGods: They aren't the nicest deities around. Titan is pretty grouchy, Leviathan is plain haughty and sneering at humans, and Ifrit wants to KillEmAll. Bahamut, Shiva, and Ramuh seem fine, but Ramuh is a FlatCharacter who barely gets mentioned in the story, and Shiva admits she once looked down on humans before Ifrit changed her mind. ''Episode Ardyn'' implies that [[spoiler:Bahamut was playing a LongGame with him and Somnus 2000 years ago and just playing the two of them as part of his final goal to have Ardyn spread the Starscourge across the planet so Noctis could give his life purifying it. If he really did orchestrate that on purpose, it would move Bahamut out of {{Jerkass God|s}} and firmly into NominalHero territory. ''The Dawn of the Future'' finally confirms this of Bahamut.]]

* FatalFlaw: [[spoiler: His BlueAndOrangeMorality, and the LackOfEmpathy and ControlFreak behaviors he exhibits as a result all come back to bite him over the course of DawnOfTheFuture.]]

* JerkassGods: They aren't the nicest deities around. Titan is pretty grouchy, Leviathan is plain haughty and sneering at humans, and Ifrit wants to KillEmAll. Bahamut, Shiva, and Ramuh seem fine, but Ramuh is a FlatCharacter who barely gets mentioned in the story, and Shiva admits she once looked down on humans before Ifrit changed her mind.
