[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/noctis.png]]

->''"Fools set the rules in this world. Just look around. It's undeniable."''

-->Voiced by: Creator/TatsuhisaSuzuki as an adult and Miyuki Sato as a child (Japanese), Ray Chase (English)

The main character, Crown Prince of Lucis who is charged with defending his kingdom and its crystal. He draws on the power of the crystal to wield an arsenal of supernatural weapons and teleport. Has a strong friendship with his TrueCompanions.

* AmericanKirbyIsHardcore: In ''Episode Duscae'' there was a surprisingly large gap between the way his character was portrayed by his English voice actor compared to his Japanese voice actor. In English, Noctis seemed more moody, dark, and sarcastic, whereas in Japanese, he was a lot more playful. The gap was narrowed on both sides; official announcements stated that the English voice work in the demo was a rush-job and he was redirected to sound lighter in the full game, and ''Brotherhood''[[note]]which is as of now Japanese-only[[/note]] showed Noctis to be a very troubled and withdrawn young man despite his bouts of childishness. He retains some traits of a deeper voice in battle.
* AncestralWeapon: His Royal Arms, which are the weapons wielded by the previous kings of Lucis.
* AnimeHair: Many fans have commented that it bears a striking resemblance to the hairstyle of [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Sasuke Uchiha]].
* {{Badass}}: Easily ranks among the series' finest.
* BadassAdorable: As a child, albeit during a dream sequence.
* BadassBeard: In his youth he has [[PrettyBoy delicate]], [[{{Bishonen}} young]], and [[{{Shonen}} boyish]] looks. In what appears to be a possible future [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UhV1wKxEd0 in the beginning of the new trailer]] his features are coarser, his hair is graying including his beard, and he looks reminiscent of his father. He can still kick ass, however, despite his older grandpa look.
* BadassInANiceSuit: ''Damn'' Noctis [[SharpDressedMan looks good in a suit]].
** One of the [[PreOrderBonus pre-order bonuses]] for the two collector's editions of the game allows you to dress him up in the suit [[CallBack Regis wore before his redesign]].
** [[spoiler:His older design sports a more casual suit, but it still counts.]]
* BeneathTheMask: TetsuyaNomura notes that Noctis is not actually very cool but a bit shy and quirky.
* {{Bishonen}}: He's a ''Final Fantasy'' protagonist; this was kind of a given. [[DarkActionGirl Aranea]] [[DragonKnight Highwind]] seems to think so, and [[LampshadeHanging lampshades it]]:
-->'''Aranea:''' Hey, pretty boy!
* TheChosenOne
-->"''Fifteen years ago'' (...) ''the stars chose the son to be their light.''"
* CombinationAttack: Noctis can do them with his buddies, including the classic [[VideoGame/ChronoTrigger X-Strike]] with Ignis.
* {{Combos}}: Noctis's basic attacks work in them in the order of Crush, Ravage then Vanquish. Different weapons can be assigned to each slot, which can change the pattern of the combo completely.
* ColorMotif: In universe the color black is one associated with the Lucian royal family and thus only those of high status are permitted to wear it.
* ComicallySerious: In the ''Brotherhood'' OVA, he maintains a grim, stony expression throughout most of the first episode, including a scene where he's picking vegetables off his burger and dropping them on Ignis' plate.
* CoolCar: Gets chauffeured around in a souped up luxury car called the Regalia.
* CoolSword: His Phantom Swords, ghostly blades summoned through magic that can be used to teleport Noctis around an area, shield him from harm, and attack enemies independently.
* DarkIsNotEvil: He's dark-haired, wears all black and talks about death. And a sweet guy.
* DeadpanSnarker: In ''Episode Duscae'' Noctis can be very sarcastic at times.
* DeflectorShields: His {{Flying Weapon}}s act this way for him with his Armiger ability.
* DissonantSerenity: So far he's stayed perfectly calm and straight-faced during his battles.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: He's not a fan of vegetables, to the point where he went out of his way to surgically remove his vegetables from a burger in the anime.
* DoomedHometown: Shortly after leaving for Altissia, his hometown of Insomnia is invaded and set aflame by the empire.
* ElementalPowers: He gives his companions power over the elements as long as he's in the party.
* FlashStep: Noctis's defend command can teleport him out of the way and thus drains MP when used; Noctis can also warp offensively to attack and strategically by teleporting to a sword thrown to a high vantage point.
* FlyingWeapon: Can control his weapons telepathically with the Armiger Arsenal ability. It's said that this ability is a SecretArt passed down by the [[RoyalBlood royal family]] and the high council of Lucis.
* {{Foil}}: Is supposed to play this role to both [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cloud]] and [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Sora]].
* GutturalGrowler: [[VocalDissonance Oddly enough]], his voice in the English version of ''Episode Duscae'' is rather deep and gravelly, if young-sounding, to the point some have compared him to a teenage Batman.
* HairColorDissonance: Originally Noctis's hair was rendered as black with a silvery-blue tint, but it was later changed to a more natural brown tint. Depending on the atmosphere of the scene, it can be rendered either way, though overall, it still seems to be black.
* HairstyleInertia: As a flashback to his childhood reveals, Noctis hasn't changed his haircut since he was a child.
* HeroesGoneFishing: In the new trailer (and in the game itself), Noct can go fishing. It's even his special talent.
* HumbleHero: As a student he was basically the most powerful and important person on campus, but he never acted ostentatious or shallow with his classmates. In fact he avoided people who just liked him for his regal status, and displayed absolutely no contempt with people who could be considered social outcasts like Prompto, and was instead impartial and inclusive with him.
* HyperspaceArsenal: A ''justified'' one, no less.
* ImmuneToBullets: Noctis's {{Flying Weapon}}s make him thus. And immune to explosions. [[CutscenePowerToTheMax In cutscenes, that is]]. In-game, it's entirely up to you.

* InSeriesNickname: His friends call him Noct.
%%* ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne
* JapanesePronouns: ''Ore''.
* JavelinThrower: Throwing his spear is a combo finisher Noctis can do when equipped with a lance for his Vanquish slot.
* LikesOlderWomen: ''Possibly'', given the age difference between him and Luna (she's 4 years his senior). She does love Noct, but he doesn’t have the confidence to respond, leaving his romantic feelings ambiguous.
* LimitBreak: [[FlyingWeapon Armiger Arsenal]], which summons weapons known as Phantom Swords that will [[LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe protect him]] and [[StormOfBlades attack enemies]].
* LeeroyJenkins: While he's normally putting up a facade of being calm and level-headed, he gets awfully confident once his powers kick in. His gang more or less help keep him in line.
* LivingBattery: In order to use magic, Noctis's party must be near him because he is the one who grants them the power.
* LonelyRichKid: ''Brotherhood'' shows him as being rather isolated at school, and frequently standing around by himself.
* MeaningfulName: It's probably meant to be "light of the night sky." Too bad they butchered the Latin.
* MissingMom: His mother died when he was still an infant.
* MrFanservice: Due to not only being attractive but also having roughly 95% of screentime dedicated to him so far, including the lovingly-crafted suit scenes.
* MultiMeleeMaster: Noctis can wield a multitude [[HeroesPreferSwords Swords]], [[{{BFS}} Greatswords]], [[BladeOnAStick Spears]], [[KnifeNut Daggers]], [[LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe Shields]] and [[CoolGun guns]] and depending on which order the weapons are placed in, Noctis will attack differently.
* TheNapoleon: He's quite timid and an introvert but he tries to hide this by acting cool. He acts tough because he feels it's his duty to protect his Kingdom and its citizens but sometimes acts rashly or overestimates his strength as a result of overcompensating. He also happens to be only [[https://squareportal.net/2016/05/31/final-fantasy-xv-casts-ages-heights-and-birthdays-revealed/ 176cm (5'8).]]
* OneManArmy: Noctis: 1, Platoon: 0.
* PublicDomainArtifact: All of Noctis's Royal Arms are [[ThemeNaming named after]] weapons wielded by Myth/KingArthur and his knights of the Round Table.
* PerkyGoth: Despite his moody demeanor and love of black clothing, he's apparently fun-loving and friendly and just tries to look cool.
* PickyEater: The first episode of ''Brotherhood'' shows him disdainfully plucking all the vegetables from his hamburger, putting them on Ignis' plate. Apparently, poor Ignis has been trying to get him to eat his veggies for ''years''.
* PlotRelevantAgeUp:
** At the [[spoiler:climax of the Platinum Demo. Young Noct is confronted by an Iron Giant, and the odds are definitely not in his favor. Through Carbuncle, he hears his father telling him that he alone controls his dreams. Back in the dreamscape, he proclaims he's not afraid and then transforms into the Noctis we know before proceeding to lay waste to the enemy.]]
** A more extreme case is much more blatant at the beginning of the game proper: [[spoiler:a weary and battered Noctis looking like his face has become that of an adult, while artwork shows his body is still the size of his normal self. The InMediasRes opening and the implications in the story hint that taking over his father's position as a BarrierMaiden will result in RapidAging as a consequence of the stress over the course of the game.]]
* PrincelyYoungMan: He’s a young man fresh out of adolescence and a prince who has been groomed to succeed his father as the future King. Noctis's royal upbringing is said to shine through, as reflected in his body language, poise, and posture in contrast to his team, reflecting his regal status.
* RebelPrince: According to [[WordOfGod Tetsuya Nomura]] Noctis is said to have a rebellious attitude, disliking the strict rules of his kingdom and acting as he pleases, sometimes getting his friends into trouble.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Nomura said in [[http://gematsu.com/2013/07/nomura-talks-final-fantasy-xv-kingdom-hearts-iii-at-japan-expo this interview]] that Noctis’s eyes become red when he uses his warp ability. [[spoiler:They also take on an eldritch purple glow when he learns to use the Ramuh summon.]]
* {{Revenge}}: Noctis's motivation is this, after his kingdom is invaded by those who seek the power of its crystal.
* RoyalBlood: A prerequisite apparently in order to be able to use the full power of the Ring of the Lucii.
* RoyallyScrewedUp: The fate every future ruler of Lucis faces is a [[PowerDegeneration drastically shortened lifespan.]] The rapid aging is the fate of the king, and because Noctis could also meet this fate if he inherits the throne, Regis is torn on whether or not he should let Noctis become the next king.
* SharpDressedMan: An Adonis in an expensive suit. Noctis was first seen wearing a suit for a deleted scene from ''Versus XIII'', but it appears [[http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/File:Noctis-Suit-FFXV.png he will be wearing the suit designed for King Regis instead]], which also appeared in early footage.
* {{Sleepyhead}}: From the trailers, it seems he can fall asleep just about anywhere (in his car, on his throne, leaning on a fence), and has done so in every one of his appearances.
** [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in the ''Platinum Demo'' as Carbuncle outright calls him the trope name. Considering the demo takes place in his dreams, they've got a point.
*** The [[AllThereInTheManual OVA]] (and a scene in the demo itself) implies, however, that young Noctis wasn't simply asleep during that dream sequence, but ''in a coma and on the verge of death.''
* SlouchOfVillainy: And he's the ''hero.''
* SpoiledSweet: As the sole child of the king and heir to the throne, it's fair to say that he has a fairly affluent/upper class lifestyle, but he's kind enough to lie to protect Iris knowing he will get nothing but punished for it, and treats his servants and commoners with decency and respect.
* StarPower: Noctis's [[SummonMagic Archaeans]] are stars.
* StormOfBlades: Noctis's signature ability is the Armiger Arsenal, when many swords and spears float around him and act as shields, attacking enemies of their own accord.
* TeleportSpam: He can instantly teleport to the location of any weapon he has thrown. Additionally, he has short-range rapid teleport abilities in close-quarters combat, serving as a dodge mechanic exclusive to him.
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: Noctis's frequently throws one of his weapons in combos, and always land point end first.
* WarriorPrince
* WhenHeSmiles: As mentioned above, he's usually straight-faced and a bit moody, but when he does smile... ''[[http://66.media.tumblr.com/06e30342df365ffe25d1a5fbb2b19665/tumblr_o3p8ycxnVm1u3o7smo1_540.png damn.]]''
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: Suffered from this as a child, according to ''Platinum Demo''.
* TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask: The [[DistaffCounterpart gender-inversion]]. He feels he has to look and act serious publicly because of his duty.

[[folder:Ignis "Iggy" Scientia]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ignis___ffxv_e3_mugshot.png]]

->''"Of course not. Sabotage is far beyond you."''

-->Voiced by: Creator/MamoruMiyano (Japanese), Adam Croasdell (English)

Noctis's advisor and consultant who grew up with him and received a special education for gifted children.

* BadassBookworm: Recieved a rare classical education and is a capable combatant in the group.
* BadassInANiceSuit: He dresses the most formally of the buddies, complete with ConspicuousGloves.
* BattleButler: Maybe not his actual profession, but fits the archetype perfectly. He is also the group's driver and chef.
* BlackComedy: Often enjoys making grim jokes at Prompto's expense.
* BlueBlood: According to a comment from Noctis during gameplay, Ignis is a Count.
* BrainsAndBrawn: The Brains to Gladiolus' Brawn. Ignis received a special education for gifted children to work as a staff officer for Noctis and uses shrewd logic. Gladiolus comes from a long line of protectors to the Royal Family and is instead trained to use his fighting abilities to serve Noctis. Their names even lampshade this (see their respective [[MeaningfulName Meaningful Names]]).
* ChildProdigy: As a gifted child, he was given special education to make him the ideal consultant for Noctis.
* ComicallySerious: Quite funny without meaning to be, according to his English voice actor.
* TheConfidant: He acts like this for Noctis, who he understands better than anyone.
* TheConsigliere: As Noct's unofficial NumberTwo and adviser.
* CulturedBadass: As expected of a noble and consultant to the future King, highly intellectual, and much more formal than his companions. He is also very good at attacking enemies with knives and magic.
* DevotedToYou: Towards Noctis. In fact, he's so devoted that it almost sounds like he doesn't care about the other two sometimes.
* FatalFlaw: Appears to be Pride. Although his plan to kill the Behemoth was excellently thought-out, he didn't bother planning an escape in case it failed.
* FirstNameBasis: In the English dub of ''Episode Duscae'' he only refers to Noctis as "Highness", but in the Japanese version, he actually calls Noctis by his nickname. This seems to have been noticed; in the Master Version footage he does call Noctis "Noct" in the English version.
* FlechetteStorm: He can pull this off thanks to the SummonToHand nature of weapons in the game.
* HairstyleInertia: As shown in Episode 2 of ''Brotherhood'', Ignis had the same hairstyle as a kid.
* ImprobableUseOfAWeapon: One of his attacks is to toss one of his knives in the air and spin-kick it into an enemy.
* KnifeNut: Ignis's weapons are a [[DualWielding pair]] of knives that he can switch to ReverseGrip during combos as well as hurl at enemies.
* MagicKnight: Ignis is the party member most focused on spellcasting both [[RedMage Black and White Magic]] outside Noctis himself.
* MeaningfulName: "Ignis" means fire, magic he seems to be partial to, and "scientia" means knowledge, befitting his status as TheSmartGuy.
* NoodleIncident: According to Noctis at a certain point in ''Episode Duscae 2.0'', he once ran over Gladio's foot with the Regalia.
* OnlySaneMan: Tries to keep Noctis and the lads out of trouble, with varying degrees of success.
* PromotedToPlayable: In the DLC "Episode Ignis".
* RealMenCook: Despite not being in his job description, Ignis apparently enjoys cooking and assumes the role as the party's cook whenever they make camp. As long as you provide him with ingredients bought from shops or gathered from the area, he can make some fabulous dishes. But if you run out of ingredients, be prepared to eat dry toast.
* TheReliableOne: Almost any time Noctis takes a hit or is overwhelmed by the enemy, Ignis will rush over to guard him. If your HP is low, he'll also cure you as long as he's nearby. Battles aside, he seems like the one Noctis relies on for just about everything else as well.
* SarcasticDevotee: His frequent sarcasm has some fearing that he may actually be a TreacherousAdvisor in disguise. [[spoiler:Recent trailers and the ''Duscae'' stinger, though, raise the possibility that instead he's simply using the sarcasm as a shield and prop for his own emotional turmoil over what's happened to Insomnia and the party.]]
* SharpDressedMan: The only one of Noctis's gang who wears a suit.
* {{Spellblade}}: Comes with the [[PoisonedWeapons Venom Strike]] ability as well as a [[FlamingSword fire enhanced]] attack.
* StoicSpectacles: He is a tall, thin, handsome, and aloof intellectual.
* TheSmartGuy: He was gifted enough to receive special education growing up, and Noctis apparently relies on him for strategies.
** SmartPeopleSpeakTheQueensEnglish: In the English dub.
* TheStrategist: He is the one crafting the plans for the group as proven in the Duscae Demo.
* TeamMom: Serves as this for the party. He also served as this of sorts for Noctis while he was growing up.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: A lot of players were under the impression he was a lot older than the group thanks to his mature demeanor, but he's actually only 22.

[[folder:Gladiolus "Gladio" Amicitia]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gladiolus2016.jpg]]

->''"No turning back now, Your Highness!"''

-->Voiced by: Creator/KentaMiyake (Japanese), Chris Parson (English)

Noctis's closest friend and bodyguard.

* BadassBaritone: Has the deepest voice out of all the playable cast so far, both in the English and Japanese versions.
* BadassBeard: Not a very long one, but still badass all the same.
* {{BFS}}: His WeaponOfChoice is a greatsword. And while most greatswords in the FF-verse are large, his appears to be longer than he is tall (and he's a ''big'' dude) as well as being nearly as wide as a human being. And then there's when he can help grab [[UpToEleven the ones wielded by Iron Giants]].
* BigBrotherMentor: He provides the combat tutorial in ''Episode Duscae'', and is in fact the one who taught Noctis how to fight in the first place. He's also an ''actual'' big brother, having a younger sister named Iris, as Episode 3 of ''Brotherhood'' shows.
* TheBigGuy: Noticeably older and more muscular than the others, as well as the most experienced combatant.
* BloodBrothers: Said to be as close as a true brother with Noctis.
* BlueBlood: He's the eldest son of the noble House of Amicitia.
* FaceOfAThug: Looks intimidating, but is actually quite friendly.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has a hero-style scar over his eye.
* {{Hunk}}: The most masculine and [[HeroicBuild well built]] [[TheBigGuy member of the group.]]
* LittleGuyBigBuddy: The Big Buddy to Noct's Little Guy. [[http://www.siliconera.com/2016/06/01/final-fantasy-xvs-character-profiles-tell-us-noctis-bros/ Gladiolus is 198cm (just under 6'6) and very brawny]] while Noctis is 176cm (5'8) with a slender physique.
* MeaningfulName: His first name is a pun on the greatsword, and his last name means "friendship". "Gladiolus" is also [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gladiolus a type of flower]] known as the sword lily.
* MightyGlacier: From what we've seen of him in the trailers and in ''Episode Duscae''; he seems to employ slow but powerful attacks.
* MultiMeleeMaster: He seems to specialize in the group's heavier weaponry.
* NoodleIncident: According to Noctis's comeback during Gladio's second Tour in ''Episode Duscae 2.0'', Ignis once ran over his foot with the Regalia.
* OneHeadTaller: Maybe more than just a head. He easily towers over the rest of the party.
* PraetorianGuard: His family has served as protectors of Lucis's royalty for generations.
* PromotedToPlayable: In the DLC "Episode Gladiolus".
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Why would you button up your shirt when you're so utterly ripped? His shirt can even be blown upwards by wind or his movements, completely revealing his upper body.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: In one gameplay trailer, he is shown using a powerbomb.

[[folder:Prompto Argentum]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/prompto2016.jpg]]

->''"I would hate to be that guy! ...aww, come on, don't be that way! You know I didn't'' mean ''to do it!"''

-->Voiced by: Creator/TetsuyaKakihara as an adult and Aki Kaneda as a child (Japanese), Creator/RobbieDaymond (English)

A classmate of Noctis's and a frequent bad influence. He wields firearms to compensate his lack of experience in combat.

* ActionSurvivor: Before the events of the game, Prompto had never been in a fight at all.
* {{BFG}}: Prompto's machine sub-weapons are invariably fairly large firearms.
* {{Bishonen}}: He's very, ''very'' pretty.
* CasanovaWannabe: Said to be quite the skirt-chaser. Par for the course, he tries to flirt with [[MsFanservice Cindy]] but she doesn't seem to pay him any mind.
* CowardlyLion: He's often the first one to note if the party is in over their heads, and can show some signs of claustrophobia when moving through small spaces in a cave, but Prompto sticks with his friends through thick and thin.
* DramaQueen: He can be quite dramatic at times.
-->"I've already pushed myself...to the brink of death."
* {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Irvine]], character and gameplay-wise.
* FormerlyFat: And ''boy'' was he.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: He has a patch entirely in black on his jacket that has some...[[PrecisionFStrike surprising]] words.
--> It's a beautiful day. Now watch some bastard fuck it up.
* ImpossiblyCoolClothes: Including a leather WaistcoatOfStyle and FingerlessGloves.
* TheKlutz: Prompto often trips over himself while fighting due to his inexperience. It's one thing that even his exercise couldn't cure.
* TheLancer: Seems to have the personality down--cheeky, sarcastic, a bit of a wild card.
* TheGunslinger: Prompto's weapons are firearms which he can use in a quick-draw manner.
* MeaningfulName: Roughly translates to "quick silver", befitting a gunman. Also an IronicName in his childhood.
** May also be part of his ShipTease with Cindy, as their surnames mean "silver" and "gold".
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: While the other men have yet to display any touchy-feely business, promotional material shows Prompto putting his arm round a surprised Noctis and leaping onto Gladio's back in celebration.
* ParentalAbandonment: During the flashback to his school years, there's no sign of his parents anywhere in the house.
* PromotedToPlayable: [[https://youtu.be/JAUoJqSRUaQ?t=2m5s He's the Player Character when playing the VR Experience,]] and also in the DLC "Episode Prompto".
* ShipTease: Prompto is very smitten with Cindy, even planning on buying a car so he has an excuse to see her more.
* TookALevelInBadass: Went from being FormerlyFat to the skinniest member of the party and from being timid to the more confident and friendly bloke he is now. Even more impressive is that aside from a jump-start from Luna, he did it on his own.
* ToxicFriendInfluence: Implied to be this for Noctis, at least as far as other people are concerned. Noctis doesn't care.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Groans this in the English dub of ''Duscae''.
* YouthfulFreckles: Fitting since he behaves the least maturely out of the group.
