The tragic thing is Ardyn never wanted to be the bad guy. He is an example of the cruelty and negligence of gods to which nothing and noone has worth but themselves, not even kings, not even the most righteous man. The truth is Ardyn was too good, lesser men hated him for it and the gods abandoned him like that. "The higher you fly the harder you fall" - grotesquely true. Makes me bitter this story didn't have more of a backlash on the Astrals, but I guess it was the point of FF15: Gods aren't kind, nor are they merciful or just and we worship them because we must hope for the best... really dark conclusion.
Personally, I disagree with this a lot, especially after the new info we've gotten. If you look at the history, it's the other way around. The Astrals granted humanity the Crystal to help them. Ifrit only started to hate humans after THEY turned against HIM. Ardyn was a victim of cruelty and betrayal, but that was from his brother, not the Astrals. The Astrals turned against Ardyn really only after he turned daemonic when Somnus drove him to that point. Honestly, PEOPLE have ALWAYS been at the base of the cruelty. Humanity rebelled against Ifrit after he helped them. Somnus took control of the throne and cause what Ardyn became. When it comes do down it... everything can be traced back to horrible human beings, not the Astrals.
@@ScribeOfRhapsody Well, especially with the new information we got we learned that Ardyn was in fact set up by Bahamut to be the sacrifice - his words not mine - to rid the world of the starscourge. Bahamut gave not a single fuck about him, he only cared for having a vessel to contain the illness his chosen king could then destroy. And Ardyn totally took off his hat and went with it. Angrily, begrudgingly and venomously, but he accepted his fate. He died for the task and took two entire bloodlines and most of humanity with him to the grave as he raised both middle fingers to the gods in passing.
this makes want an ardyn dlc so damn bad. Like seriously how much of him self has he seen in the other kings let alone noct. and how truly far he had to push so he could finally rest. he may be the bad guy but he will be one of the best ones in final fantasy history.
Sammeeee right? I want to know so much about him and his backstory ughhhh. I heard they're going to go into his backstory a bit in the future, but I'm not sure if that means they're going to add some cutscenes or go more in depth with a dlc, but I guess we'll see, right? :'D
i still cry to this day watching this video. it fits the song so well, it is so beautifully edited. noctis and ardyn both deserved so much better and have such tragic backstories it breaks me.
i watch this video really often because it is just that good. it perfectly portrays the tragedy of noctis' and ardyn's fate. i love how "we fight every night for something" goes for both of them, hero and villain. just pure perfection, awesome work.
How have I not seen this by now?? The timing and visuals going along to the lyrics were so incredible! And the way you portrayed Ardyn was just absolute quality, it really showed off that part of his character that is so rarely seen in game!
Damn...this is amazing. Ardyn is my favorite character, and I love/hate how sympathetic his story is...it makes it hard to see him as evil. I love how your video shows ardyn!!! Anyways, enough babbling on my part, you did an excellent job! ^_^
me: *takes a deep breath* ZOMBIE HOW COULD U DO MY FAV SONG TO MY FAV DYNAMIC JUST WH Y but it turned out so good tho like holy damn, i'm still speechless at the composition and choice of clips tbh
The fact that a line says they fight every night makes me realize that every single person has to bring the world to this end when they play the game, essentially keeping a cycle to restore order forever and causing them to really fight every night in the game It also shows that it's just cruel to force what's well over a thousand deaths because the player can't save these people
Damn damn DAMN, YOU'RE GIVING ME SERIOUS FEELS™ HERE, GIRL I am about to cryyyy- Plus I didn't know the song and it's BEAUTIFUL Amaaazing, amazing work ♥ ♥
Ahhh, you made me cry again! I was looking for more playful fluff (your Milk and Cookies gmv is one of my favs) but now I think I'm going to go find some chocolate and stare at a wall for a little bit. Then watch it again. >.>'
I love Ardyn's character and I loved episode Ardyn a lot. :) But I wonder, some like to argue we are seeing an unreliable story as it is Ardyn telling it. However the Narration from the female voice at the beginning and present at parts and the very end suggest someone else is telling his story and these events, something of which no other episodes did might I add. So I argue we are being told about Ardyn rather then Ardyn telling us his own story, it may seem like he is because we play as him in the episode but it doesn't mean he's the one telling us the tale. Having said that though that just makes everything all the more credible as if Ardyn isn't the one telling us his perceptive then it gets rid of him possibly being an unreliable narrator. But that's just a little thing I noticed, wether it means something or not is debatable but it's still notable and food for thought regardless I think. :) (Of course I could be misremembering stuff about there not being Narration in other episodes but I'm fairly certain there wasn't.)
this might be a little Out There but would you ever consider doing a final fantasy vii video ?? possibly ... sephiroth & cloud, as outdated as they are gfdkj;
I might one day! I confess, I've never played much of VII, but I did like Advent Children, so maybe I'll get around to doing something with it some time haha. And I'll definitely be playing the remake when it comes out, so I'll for sure make something then adsfgkj;l

@@ScribeOfRhapsody you both have a valid point.
Cant say bahamut is the true villain because we haven't got to know him like we have with ardyn,but so far it seems like bahamut is the true villain.

indeed we will have to wait and se
The dlc was AMAZING. Ardyn's story is so tragic
Its here
i still cry to this day watching this video. it fits the song so well, it is so beautifully edited. noctis and ardyn both deserved so much better and have such tragic backstories it breaks me.
Can't stop rewatching this, it's truly a work of art. Square Enix should be paying you for this.
I know I’m so late in finding this, but this is stunning and perfectly captured the dynamic between these two characters.
i watch this video really often because it is just that good. it perfectly portrays the tragedy of noctis' and ardyn's fate. i love how "we fight every night for something" goes for both of them, hero and villain. just pure perfection, awesome work.
At the end of the day Ardyn and Noctis are family.
This is stunning.
I actually cried watching this. The feels. This beautiful video make me fall in love with ArdyNoct. Gosh. You're so talented!
I've watched this so many times and every time it makes me incredibly sad and reminds me how depressing this damn game is ;A;
Never...ever delete your channel or these Ardyn mv’s ♥️♥️♥️♥️
How have I not seen this by now?? The timing and visuals going along to the lyrics were so incredible! And the way you portrayed Ardyn was just absolute quality, it really showed off that part of his character that is so rarely seen in game!
Ahhh I want a DLC about ardyn seriously!!!! Love this, it was really touching 😢😢 also thank you for showing me the song!
Sammmeeee! i want one with every fiber of my being ugh
But thank you so much! :D Glad you like it
Episode Ardyn is confirmed!
This....this is perfection!!! I don't know if my heart can take these feels
Aaahhh thank you!
Damn...this is amazing. Ardyn is my favorite character, and I love/hate how sympathetic his story is...it makes it hard to see him as evil. I love how your video shows ardyn!!! Anyways, enough babbling on my part, you did an excellent job! ^_^
Aaahhh I know right? Once I heard his story I was just, yup I don't blame you, man.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the vid!
Wow. This is by far the best ffxv video I've ever seen. Very well edited + the song and the scenes you chose are very fitting! #blessed
Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

I love how you put this video together, and the song is absolutely perfect along with the video clips!
Thanks so much!
me: *takes a deep breath* ZOMBIE HOW COULD U DO MY FAV SONG TO MY FAV DYNAMIC JUST WH Y but it turned out so good tho like holy damn, i'm still speechless at the composition and choice of clips tbh
AAAAHHHH BBY THANK YOU
Really well done! Especially given how little footage there is in base game. Outstanding editing work!
Ardyn was a bad guy I cheered for
This is....... so good?!?!
The fact that a line says they fight every night makes me realize that every single person has to bring the world to this end when they play the game, essentially keeping a cycle to restore order forever and causing them to really fight every night in the game
It also shows that it's just cruel to force what's well over a thousand deaths because the player can't save these people
Damn damn DAMN, YOU'RE GIVING ME SERIOUS FEELS™ HERE, GIRL
I am about to cryyyy-
Plus I didn't know the song and it's BEAUTIFUL
Amaaazing, amazing work ♥ ♥

*failing to locate wig*
Just my idea but i think this might also go well with Caius from FF 13.
My Ardynnn :''(

(Of course I could be misremembering stuff about there not being Narration in other episodes but I'm fairly certain there wasn't.)
I personally think its bahamut telling noctis ardyns backstory with areas voice while noctis was sleeping in the crystal.
Go watch his anime episode.more feels will come

I love this game so much. My friend hates it because he says: It isnt like the old FF games...I HATE IT
