* Ardyn's rise to villainy if you think about it. A loved healer who willingly absorbed daemons to save people, only to become ostracized and disowned by the royal family. His actions [[ImmortalityImmorality have now left him immortal]] and he has to watch as [[UnPerson he's pretty much erased from history]]. It's not surprising he's held a grudge for so long. Even Luna believes he deserves peace.]

** In a meta sense, the fact that this is the final bit of the game as a whole. Not the world saved from the Daemons like in the main game, no derailing of fate, be it on the small scale of ''Episode Ignis''' alternate ending, or the grand scale that the [=DLCs=] that were scrapped were supposed to deal with, but simply the fact that Ardyn, the game's main villain, is utterly powerless to stop a fate ordained upon him by the Gods, no matter his attempts.

***This gets a CallForward in "Close Encounter of the Terra Kind", released later but set earlier in the game, that twists the knife further.
--->'''Sarah:''' You really ought to be more honest about the way you feel, Noct. If you don't do it now, you might never get the chance.

** For that matter, the ''entire fight'' with Ravus just moments earlier. Ravus goes ''berserk'' after seeing Luna's dead body lying next to an unconscious Noctis after the latter's fight against Leviathan in the main game, Ravus immediately blames Noctis for Luna's death forcing Ignis to protect the prince, [[SadBattleMusic all set to]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsO3I7XK9A0 "A Tear-Stained Sword"]].
*** Some of the comments made by Ignis and Ravus during the fight make it worse.
--->'''Ignis:''' Lady Lunafreya came to her King’s aid in his time of need. She was fulfilling her calling!\\
'''Ravus:''' Don’t try to justify this! ''She didn’t need to '''die!'''''\\
'''Ignis:''' Kill him, and her sacrifice will have been for naught. Kill him, and you kill her hopes for the future!\\
'''Ravus:''' What hope is there in a future that my sister will ''never see?''

*** ''PocketEdition'' contains a much longer, more in-depth exchange between the two which was likely cut from the base game due to time constraints. Some of the restored lines only further emphasize Ardyn's breakdown--made all the more impactful by Darin De Paul's ''outstanding'' line-delivery:
---->'''Ardyn:''' Curse you kings, and your iniquitous crystal! Vengeance was to at last be ''mine''...If not for ''you''! '''I HATE you!! With ALL my BEING!!!'''
