History WMG / FinalFantasyXV

* [[spoiler:[[KingdomHeartsThreeFiveEightDaysOverTwo It's not like Square isn't known to have you as the player]] KillTheCutie, either...]]

Come on, [[MemeticMutation you all know]] [[AStreetcarNamedDesire where this is going]].

[[WMG: There will be an AlternateUniverse installment in the FFXV Universe known as Final Fantasy [[TheBusCameBack Versus]] XV.]]
* This installment would have the same general background as FFXV, but embrace more ''reality'' with its plot as opposed to vanilla XV embracing ''fantasy'' in regards to [[spoiler: Ardyn, the Starscourge, and the GreaterScopeVillain Ifrit and the divine conflict]]. This will take the form of following many concepts seen in Versus XIII that were otherwise scrapped or heavily altered for XV.
** The WarIsHell implications given off by earlier trailers and Episode Duscae is going to be involved full-force; instead of the plot revolving around [[spoiler:Ardyn's machinations and the Starscourge, alongside Noct and Luna's fated deaths to fulfill the prophecy]], instead the plot will involve more of the struggle against the empire of Niflheim itself, taking the old FF concept of TheEmpire and applying it to a more realistic world just like the former, more fantasy plot above.
** More cityscape and urban areas will be explorable. That being said, classic FF monsters like Demon Wall or Tonberries will either be drastically retooled or left as EasterEggs to give way to more "real" enemies, from mobile turrets to enemy infantry, to possibly airships.
** The scrapped "mafia" concept found in the original Versus XIII drafts will be revived, either applied to [[AntiHero Noctis to cast a shade of]] [[GrayAndGreyMorality gray to the conflict]] with TheEmpire or [[StarCrossedLovers Lunafreya to create a situation similar]] [[WhatCouldHaveBeen to that of]] [[EnsembleDarkhorse Stella]] [[LadyOfWar Nox]] [[TragicVillain Flueret]].
** The divine will be largely left out of the plot, or [[FantasticNuke used for warfare]]. This could take the form of Regis summoning Bahamut to blast the imperial army, to the Empire summoning Ifrit to sunder a city.
** Similar to how XV was DarkerAndEdgier with a much more grim story and NightmareFuel abound, Versus XV would be DarkerAndEdgier in that there would be more political conflicts and consequences. Likewise, a good chunk of the story may actually take the roadtrip in the vanilla game and twist it to instead of being about Noctis going to a wedding with Luna and summoning power from the gods, instead it would still involve the wedding, but it would be for a far more practical reason; to unite Lucis and Tenebrae against Niflheim and have the power of both the Lucian King and the Oracle fighting against TheEmpire.
** [[spoiler:Finally, the plot will imply the game takes place in an AlternateUniverse born when Ardyn was eradicated, tying into another WMG theory, hence the absence of daemons or Ardyn.]]

[[WMG: There will be a What-If GaidenGame called ''Final Fantasy Versus XV'']]

[[WMG: Where the bloodline magics went after Noctis and Luna's deaths.]]
* Energy cannot be created or destroyed, right? It's possible that they 'seeped' into Eos' people. The magic would be weaker (akin to spells in previous ''Final Fantasy'' entries)- because it's spread between more people- and need to be directed at a specific target, but it would clearly exist. Also supporting this idea is the glacier left around one of Shiva's corpses, which lasts way too long to be merely attack residue. Maybe it seeped into the world too, creating a sort of Eosian version of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX Macalania Forest.]]

* As crude as it sounds, it seems like something of a tactical error for the ruler of the strongest kingdom on the continent to have reached the apparent age that he did and have failed to produce any sort of offspring. Hell, that's an ''unbelievable'' amount of GenreBlindness. Every third RPG (including this one) starts with a king dying and a proper successor either nonexistent, unknown, or unavailable to take the helm. Perhaps he ''can't'' have children at his age - also possibly, he was never able. Either way, it probably occurred to Aldercapt that Niflheim would quickly go to pieces if he died without having a successor. (To be fair, he was very right.) So he made a play for the crystal, perhaps thinking it would give him eternal life. (Because, also, half of the evil emperors in RPG existence want quick power for world domination. The other half usually want to live forever.) But when things eventually went sideways and Ardyn usurped him, he probably figured, "I'm too old to survive this anyway, better to live as a powerful daemon than die as a mere mortal." Which might have worked had Noctis and his friends never gone back to Insomnia.

[[StarWars Search your feelings]], [[TheEmpireStrikesBack you know it to be true]].

* The two have so many commonalities that it almost seems too many to be coincidental. Similar blond hair, similar affinities and talents for mechanical things, similar obsession over one of the game's transport mechanics (Cindy with cars, the Regalia in particular, and Prompto with chocobos), and similarly themed names (Argentum = Silver; Aurum = Gold). This makes more sense if [[spoiler: Cindy had similar origins to Prompto]] and was ''adopted'' by either Cid's child or ''Cid himself'', who is using the cover story of Cindy's parents dying when she was young to explain her origins to everyone else.

...who Noctis doesn't know about. He secretly was in a relationship, but cut off that relationship shortly before the start of the series. Said child could be the sole survivor of the Lucis bloodline, therefore ensuring that the Big Bad didn't get the main thing he wanted.

The last time we really see them is when they and Noctis share one final farewell before Noctis heads for the throne, leaving them to [[YouShallNotPass fend off the army of daemons forming outside]]. The game never specifies if they managed to come out of that fight alive. Their appearance alongside Noctis and Regis in the afterlife when the former finishes off Ardyn for good [[LastStand may not be symbolic]]...

** Both are confirmed; Final Fantasy Versus XIII ''was'' changed to ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'', and "a world of the Versus epic" at the end of the E3 trailer heavily implies that there will be more to come of its saga. Saga actually entails more media; not just more games; currently there's ''Justice Monsters Five'' and ''King's Tale.''

** On the other hand, one interpretation of the ending is that EveryoneDies. So it's probably a big ''maybe'' instead.

* ''Kingsglaive'' shows that anyone can learn to blade warp as long as the king lends his power to them (Nyx and his fellow Kingsglaive could all do it until Regis died). The more likely explanation on why the other party members can't warp is that Noct never figured out how to share the ability.

* [[spoiler: It's easier to list who's ''not'' confirmed dead by the end of the game, so yeah.]]

Around 12 generations ago, a meteor fell to Eos. Inside that meteor were the six Astrals, the crystal and the Starscourge. The Starscourge was a malady that infected people, turning them into daemons. As the number of daemons grew, the Starscourge in the atmosphere began to multiply, blocking out the sun and plunging Eos into eternal night. In order to save the world, the Astrals (except for Ifrit) gave humans powers to fight the daemons. To the Oracle, they gave the power to commune with them and heal those humans who were afflicted with the Starscourge. To the line of Lucis Caelem, they gave the ring of Lucii (basically a link to the powers of the crystal) to bestow magic upon them in order to fight the daemons that had already taken form. There was also the prophecy of the Chosen King, who would end the Starscourge once and for all.

That being said, one possible idea to consider is that Noctis performs his bladewarp by throwing any one of his weapons, and once thrown, dives into his pocket dimension storage himself due to it being tied to his blood as the prince of Lucis, and uses the sword he threw as a beacon to pop out of the pocket dimension back into real space where the sword is. This would explain why the other party members can't warp, seeing as they aren't of royal blood. That's my guess, at least.

Jossed while [[spoiler: Prompro was from nifhelm,]] he never does any betraying [[spoiler: but Noctis does betray him...]]
