History Heartwarming / DissidiaFinalFantasy2015

* The end of the cutscene before the FinalBoss. When Shinryu sends a wave of destruction down against the heroes and villains alike, suddenly alignment doesn't matter, and the two groups work together to defend each other. Garland and the Warrior of Light shield Zidane, Kefka, and Shantotto, Y'shtola protects Cloud, Sephiroth, Firion, and Vaan, Golbez and Exdeath defend Lightning and Noctis, and so forth. It gives a HopeSpot that maybe, just maybe, these long-time archenemies could one day find peace with each other, if they could be so united as one, even if just for a moment.

** And in the midst of this, one such group? [[PapaWolf Jecht]] defending Tidus, alone. When the destruction abates, Tidus slings Jecht's arm over his shoulder and helps him stand.
** The small shot of the Warrior and Garland shielding their allies becomes even more heartwarming considering that they represent the very first game of the series, and in a meta sense, they're doing their part to protect everyone that came after them.

* A post-Shinryu cutscene has Kam'lanaut ''doing something'' to the energy born of battle. Golbez catches him and reprimands him, and after a bit of conversation, Kam'lanaut expresses the sentiment that a ruler is duty-bound to compensate his servants for their efforts. [[StatingTheSimpleSolution Golbez suggests that he take it up with Spiritus]]. The description for the cutscene panel afterwards proclaims that Kam'lanaut '''did''' - and Spiritus ''obliged''. It's a far cry from the last conflict, where Chaos' faction suffered from a plague of ChronicBackstabbingDisorder and the idea of cooperation was basically forced by the assist system in ''012 Prologus''.

* While the ending of ''Final Fantasy IX'' implied DeathEqualsRedemption for Kuja, this game confirms it -- Kuja performs a HeelFaceTurn and joins with Zidane and Terra, cementing his reformation by intervening to save them from the Emperor and Sephiroth. While he and Zidane still don't get along and their interactions are TeethClenchedTeamwork, it is clear they are not enemies anymore.

* Terra remembers Kuja breaking Kefka's control over her in the 12th cycle of war, and thanks him for helping to free her. While Kuja's relationship with Zidane is at best TeethClenchedTeamwork for the both of them, Terra is happy to have Kuja along.

* Tidus and Jecht have their memories back, and they have no interest in fighting each other. Tidus even tells Firion openly that he won't fight Jecht, not this time. [[spoiler:And then Jecht pulls a BigDamnHeroes moment to save them from Exdeath, Kefka, and Ultimecia, and evens the odds for a proper 3-3 brawl.]]

* During [[Videogame/DissidiaFinalFantasy the last conflict]], a big sticking point for the Warrior of Light was that [[AmnesiacHero he doesn't have ANY memory whatsoever of where he comes from, what his quest was or even his own name]] when everyone else had at least a vague memory of who they were and where they came from [[spoiler: because he was born of the conflict between Chaos and Cosmos [[ArtificialHuman as a manikin.]]]] This time around however when Warrior of Light, Noctis and Cecil end up in [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyI Cornelia]], he and Cecil are able to share a moment over him now having true memories and a quest to call his own with Warrior of Light happily sharing memories of his quest to save the princess of the castle.

* The new cutscene involving three of the DLC characters - Locke, Rinoa and Yuna. All three of them decide to rest under Rinoa's suggestion, with her being new to the war and the other two being veterans (though in Locke's case it was during the events of ''Secretum''). It's a very touching scene, which implies that Locke and Yuna have found Rinoa who has been lost upon being summoned for the first time and all three consequently befriending each other despite being from different worlds.

* Terra, Lightning and Y'shtola have a conversation on how World B would unfold under either Spiritus or Materia, while agreeing on the possibility of seeing the regenesis with their own eyes. This just goes to show how much they've grown to care about this world despite what has happened to them in the past cycles of war that dragged them there in the first place.

** During Kain's DLC cutscene, Cloud admits that while he was conflicted of the prospect of an alliance with his old nemesis, he no longer lets anything related to Sephiroth hold him down. This gains him Kain's sympathy, as he too is currently atoning for his past crimes. Even Noctis shows his maturity here despite being new to World B.

* Later update adds cutscenes for Kain, Ace and Ramza post-FinalBoss, interacting with their fellow champions (worth noting is that Vaan and Noctis are present in two of these, with both of them in a scene with Ramza).

** Amidst of a discussion with Kain, Noctis and Squall of an unlikely alliance between the heroes and villains to defeat Shinryu, Cloud admits that while he was conflicted of the prospect, he no longer fears his old nemesis Sephiroth and promises not to let his allies and friends down again. The four then resolve to push through despite their dark pasts, and Noctis delivers this:
--->'''Noctis''': I'd just show them you care. People are gonna see through the act and know you're still conflicted. Don't make them dance around it.

-->'''Noctis:''' I'd just show them you care. People are gonna see through the act and know you're still conflicted. Don't make them dance around it.

** After a fight on the Floating Continent, Ramza gets into a conversation with Noctis and Cecil about how people of status have a responsibility to those in need. Vaan points out that they're the sort of people that soldiers tend to follow, while Noctis admits that Vaan's cheerfulness helps get him going. Ramza observes that Noctis seems to have had a friend like Vaan in the past.

** Ace admits that he's not used to fighting without the other Classmates Zero. Firion assumes that he's referring to friends, but after a moment Ace corrects that they're more like [[SiblingTeam an unorthodox family]]. The others share that they're from similar backgrounds - Zidane's from a travelling troupe, Firion was orphaned and found by Maria's family, and Vaan's a street urchin - so they know what he means by fighting alongside family.

* Tidus and Jecht have their memories back, and they have no interest in fighting each other. Tidus even tells Firion openly that he won't fight Jecht, not this time.
