Reversing years of damage while bringing back dawn was the destiny of the king, and yes, I can't argue that that curse was his and his alone but I'll never ever accept that he deserved that fate. Not that stubborn and picky kid who only seemed to want to mess around and eat sweet things. The boy who had so much worth to his name, and yet, saw himself as powerless and weak. The most noble of us all. Our brother in arms.

The sun was so warm and bright. Such a godsend after ten years of darkness but standing beside my brothers, monsters dropping one by one, the feeling was so bittersweet. The tears fell from all sides while knees hit the ground. Relief overwhelmed us and heartbreak even more. Our friend was gone and only because of him could we even see the light again but we had only just begun to wonder if saving Eos could ever be worthy of his sacrifice.

One last campfire was not enough. An ideal never ending road trip together would never be able to soften the reality that after everything we had done and been through, our destination was anything but what we had imagined. There had been no wedding and two bloodlines had seen the end of their days as the story came to an end. Everything but the lives that were lost would have to be rebuilt, but even as we mourned, the smoldering battleground of a once great city would one day return to its former glory. A hollow copy, but still the home to millions of people who once put their hope and trust in a great king.

After everything was said and done, even though accepting the truth of their fates was too much to bare at times, Lunafreya Nox Fleuret had fulfilled her duty, saved her beloved, and delivered the ring as she had swore she would. Noctis Lucis Caelum had fulfilled his destiny and saved the world at the cost of his own life after not really truly getting to live it. But he had us as we saw the world together and saved many lives too. Years down the line, and yet we still wish he could've seen that sunrise with us, our solace we'll always be that we stood by him as promised and we walked tall as we said goodbye.

This is so self indulgent and i didn't have any particular Chocobro in mind who would be saying all this (pick your favorite), but I've been all up in my feelings about this game. I don't know what it is but I finished FFXV like a month ago and I'm still so shook. Like, I'm still legitimately sad over it. What a game. I'm on the side that 3/4s of the boy band lived on even though my heart says it'd be slightly better if they all went together, but alas, I don't wanna believe it.
