i believe that prompto being different from gladio, noctis and ignis is just always there in ffxv, if it isn't mentioned until near the end of the game.
(some of these reasons may be quite out there or make no sense lol)
ffxv spoilers under the cut!
1. prompto is the character in the group with the lightest hair colour
- noctis and gladio have quite dark hair colours. ignis has hair lighter than theirs, but its not as bright as prompto's
- people are more drawn to look at brighter things, so they'd be drawn to looking at prompto because of his bright, blonde hair. prompto's attention is drawn more than the other character's because he's more 'bright'.
2. prompto's personality is also more 'bright' and different than the others.
- prompto is more of a 'brighter' person than the rest. they're all more laid back at times, whilst prompto is there singing, humming tunes and just spouting on about something.
- prompto's brighter personality makes players be caught off guard when the game reveals his backstory. his story is a contrast to his personality a lot - like light vs dark. this, again, highlights how different he is from the rest of the group.
- prompto also focuses on women in game like aranea and cindy. this could be him trying to fit in with the rest of the group and trying more to be normal, even though he doesn't know his past yet.
- prompto also mentions in episode prompto trying to fit in im pretty sure ? even then he was trying to fit in, which shows that he wasn't the same even when he didn't know that he was an mt.
3. prompto's choice of weapon
- prompto's main weapon in game is some type of firearm. everyone else uses a blade. yes, noctis can also use firearms, but the weapon he has first in game is a blade and the players ultimately decide what they make noctis use anyway.
- if memory serves me correct, the only other people who really use firearms in game are the 'bad' guys and antagonists. again, i could be wrong. but, this does ultimately show that prompto isn't the same as his friends. he's using the same weapons that the 'bad side' use.
4. prompto's name
- this is kind of out there, but the ending of prompto's name is also different (like him).
- noctis, ignis and gladiolus all end in 's'. noctis and ignis end in 'is'. prompto's name ends in 'o'. nobody else has their full name end this way.
- also, prompto's full name translates to quicksilver which is also a firearm thats in ffxv and also other final fantasy games. his name is about his gun.. which again brings me back to the whole weapon point.
hope anyone who read this enjoyed the ramble lol. i'd love discussing anything else related to prompto or ffxv - just drop it in the asks :)
