Ser Harwin Wishes To Be Introduced To Joffrey.

“I think it’s because you’ve finally found inside you that special strength to protect what matters…”

Lack of Oracle’s powers in Kingslglaive and this whole nonsense with Ring can be explained by the fact that during production Luna wasn’t Oracle. Moreover, Luna wasn’t Luna. Look at the pictures of early Kingsglaive footage, see something familiar? Say hello to Stella.

Third picture is the game CGI models lined up with the preproduction version of Nyx’s CGI model. Tabata’s team had Stella’s model working on Luminous Studio engine! It wasn’t simple port from Versus build, it’s new model. And for some idiotic reason they decided to cut off existed character with finished model and replace with new one.

Many people noticed major difference between Luna’s personality in game and movie. Now answer is obvious - Kingsglaive’s original script was written with different main heroine. It doesn’t automatically mean that Lunafreya in movie is what Nomura’s Stella (Versus XIII Stella had the same powers as Noctis and could’ve kick Glauca’s ass easily) supposed to be, but she is definitely closer to Stella from Versus trailers than to her FFXV incarnation. She was more morally ambiguous in Kingsglaive, she acted more casual and her fireworks scene with Nyx is recreation of Stella and Noctis first meeting in Versus. 

Lunafreya in Kingslglaive was intermediate character between Stella and current Luna. 

Perhaps after Tabata get rid of Stella, Kingsglaive team continued to work with some abstract “Princess of Tenebrae” concept. They didn’t give her any powers, because they didn’t know her actual role. According to Roberto Ferrari (lead concept artist) FFXV writers changed plot every 3 months. I would not be surprised if Oracle’s story, Starscourge and Astrals all this nonsensical crap was added into last minutes, because team needed something to replace original Fabula Nova Crystallis mythology.

@anheiressofasoldier here is something for you.

P.S. Anon with Noctis ask, I`ll answer you a bit later (it’s going to be quite big post, which I’m afraid to fail with my awful English).

saw a stunning versace dress (x) that I thought would suit lady luna perfectly

Wholesome background event from the ending:

Riku winning the race without breaking a sweat and then turning around to watch Donald fuss at Ven, Aqua and Roxas waving at each other before he starts wheezing, and Terra coming in third completely exhausted.

here’s that twin sisters au where everything is the same except ravus is replaced by stella

you ever think long and deep about the interactions in KH2 between Roxas and Namine and Sora and Kairi that just feel cheap and rushed as hell with little substance, it’s all telling not showing, it killed potential character development (coughkairicough), has no actual significance so now you can’t get yourself to like them even though they tried to shove it down your throat, and the dynamics between roxas and namine is purely “WOW IM A BOY YOURE A GIRL AND OUR SOMEBODIES ARE TOO WE’RE TOTES A THING JUST BC THEY APPARENTLY ARE EVEN THOUGH WE STRUGGLE FOR OUR INDIVIDUALITY AND THIS TOTALLY RUINS THAT?” and you’re just

Terra: Let’s have matching Riku cosplay for tomorrow! Ven/Aqua: Sure! Next day,

Terra: wtf guys. Ven: You didn’t say which one.

😂😂

Look, someone had to tell her eventually…

Noctis wanted to save Luna

had an epiphany tonight

in Luna’s death scene, Noctis says “All I wanted was to save you.” I thought for the longest time that that line was… sorta BS. He didn’t know she was going to die until she did, or he would have paid more attention to her during the Leviathan fight, or sent the Chocobros to guard her, or something. He had never really shown that saving Luna was an important goal to him during the game. All I saw was his mixed feelings for/disinterest in marrying her. I didn’t see him as having any real goals for himself aside from getting to Altissia for the wedding and short term things like carrot farming.

But then I realised, saving Luna was Noctis’s goal all along! But not in the way that is immediately obvious. All their lives, Luna has been living under the control of the Empire, and that must have weighed on Noctis as he wrote letters to her. I think that the reason he wanted to marry Luna yet was so seemingly unenthusiastic about it when questioned by Prompto is because he thought that by marrying Luna, he could save her from the clutches of the Empire. It wasn’t to save her literal life, it was to save her from a life of captivity. Of course her dying counts as him failing that mission, though, so that’s what makes “All I wanted was to save you” a true statement.

This is also why Noctis’s emotional state goes to shit after Altissia, not to mention gives relevant context for his argument with Gladio. He felt like he failed his biggest and most important goal, with drastic consequences. Probably the worst consequence he imagined was being unable to get Luna out of Altissia, not her straight up dying. And, I don’t think he had any other goals for himself. It’s the player who chooses where to go and what to do in the game, not Noctis - he just goes along with it…

I would bet that Noctis’s original, unstated plan for the first half of the game was to go to Altissia, marry Luna, and take her back to Lucis where it was “safe”. Of course, the fact that the Empire took over Insomnia is a bit of a wrench in the plan. I don’t know if Noctis mentally accounted for this. Maybe he thought that he and Luna had a better chance of reclaiming Lucis together.

This theory totally fits with my “Noctis wasn’t marrying Luna for love” theory, by the way. It was never about love, it was about responsibility, maybe heroism. So when Prompto was talking about Luna’s personal attributes as reasons Noctis should be excited to marry her, it meant nothing to him. Another reason he perhaps did not want to talk about the marriage is because he saw it as a rescue mission and thinking about it in light of Insomnia falling gave him anxiety. That’s also a weak justification, but it does add some depth to the way that Noctis is so avoidant to discussions of Luna and his upcoming wedding in the game.

hello i would die for soriku
