The Ring. When Noctis puts on the ring for the first time it’s a real struggle for him but the lighting effects are beautiful, until you step back and view them with Ansel.  It kinda looks like he’s being circled by four giant false eyelashes! Using the ring’s power might be draining but I love the pink cloud shot with green when Noctis casts Death.  I also love how Alterna warps daemons into unusual shapes.  This Snaga looks like a turkey but not one that Noctis would eat.  The sight of it has turned Noct’s face a sickly green colour in the afterglow.  All images copyright Square Enix Co Ltd.

Spoiler alert! Today is the anniversary of Episode Ignis so I thought I'd share a little glitch I caught using Ansel in between scenes. Ignis puts on the Ring of the Lucii, or does he? It's floating in the air behind him! All images copyright Square Enix Co Ltd.

just finished episode ignis and i am feeling not so good

[paopubell]

I'm doing all the endgame stuff in FFXV and...

Gods I LOVE the Ring of Lucii ✨✨

Alterna will toss huge bosses into wormholes and insta kill them, but only if you have enough room to cast it

Death insta kills all of the "mushy desserts" and most of the lower daemons

This thing has changed my life 🌸💍

Reviewing everything on Ravus made me kinda sad. When I first played I hated Ravus. But he was the only character who knew things were “fated” a certain way by the gods and he still tried to change it.

Luna, Noctis, Ardyn, they’ve all resigned themselves to their chosen fates (granted, Ardyn did try to resist but Bahamut took care of that…). Only Ravus is like, no, fuck all that. There’s something really honorable in that, and it made me think maybe him trying on the Ring of Lucii wasn’t as arrogant as I once thought.

And honestly screw the Kings and Queens of Lucis! They rejected Ravus because he ultimately served his sister’s interests, not Noctis’. And I’m supposed to root for the Kings and Queens who have fucking Somnus as their founder?

I’m glad in Dawn of the Future we got to see more of the characters resist their fates. But Ravus is cool in my book. And his song Ravus Aeterna is one of my favorites!

I need more Luna being a girlboss. My very personal headcanon is that she just slipped that ring on because whatever, her dress doesn‘t have a pocket and the Lucii didn‘t dare to say anything.

Kinktober day 12: Prompto/Noctis overstimulation

Title: feast for a king

Fandom: Final Fantasy XV

Ships: Prompto/Noctis, also Gladio/Noctis and Ignis/Noctis but it's mostly promptis

Rating: Explicit

Tags: sex magic, overstimulation, multiple orgasms

"How much do you know about the magic of the Lucii?" Gladio asks, when they're out of earshot of camp.

"Crystal, ring, warping, magic swords, and the big old wall there used to be around Insomnia?" Prompto's pretty sure that covers it.

"You ever hear about their other magic?"

Prompto blinks. "Wait, not the sex magic rumors that kids used to talk about. That's just gossip…isn't it?"

Read it at AO3

This one was for a request from @sabishisa-kun , thanks for the prompt! Hope you like it!

.....god

AU of my AU where there is no Crystal because Stella thought it was a giant piece of rock candy and smashed it with her warhammer

Ardyn rapidly ages and dies like that guy in that one episode of the Twilight Zone

Noctis is fine but he can't warp anymore and he's pissed

the Ring of the Lucii is just a ring now

Stella has no idea what she did, but she's disappointed there was no candy (also Bahamut is sort of mad at her but she's not really that worried about it)

He wants the Ring of Lucii

Hey there! Your FFXV OCs are really cool! Could you tell us more about them? I love learning about fan ocs from this game :)

OHH GOSH HI!!!!! THANK YOU FOR ASKING!!!! I have so much lore on all my ocs this game drives me INSANE.

To give a quick rundown of the main three:

Fidei Carissime (roughly translated "Beloved Faith" from Latin) is the pink haired axemen I frequently draw with the chocobros!

He's the epitome of the "Lost Prince" character trope. His mom died shortly after his birth and his father (the king of some unnamed far off kingdom) had him handed off to a poor family just on the coast of Cleigne.

Hard times and a rise in the local daemon population forced the family to move into Insomnia when Fidei was 7, but at age 8 his adoptive parents were killed by a daemon attack while on a trip outside the wall.

Fidei spent a few years in the system before an older teen by the name of Salus took him under his wing and introduced him to a group of kids looking to make lives for themselves without spending forever in the orphanage.

Years later Fidei gets into the same highschool as Prince Noctis on merit, and through Prompto he's introduced to the chocobros and eventually joins the retinue.

And yes, they kiss. I'm a silly OC x canon shipper don't be mad at me they're cute!!

Calor Solis (roughly translated "Warmth of the Sun" from Latin) is a Crownsguard stationed to train new Kingsglaive soldiers after a traumatic experience rendered them ineffective in combat. Under the guidance of Cor Leonis, they trained Libertus and Luche personally in hand-to-hand and close quarters.

Calor is all sunshine and smiles. He's got a friendly disposition no matter the circumstances and is always willing to lend a hand - but never take his kindness for weakness. He's highly skilled with daggers and close quarters combat, and once you pass the threshold of violence, you'd better pray they're feeling generous.

PTSD can make her flighty in some situations, but if her loved ones are in danger there's nothing she won't do to get them to safety.

Calor is genderfluid and swaps between nicknames (Cal, Lor, and Oli) to denote what they're feeling at any given time.

Chrysalis!! She's the newest and the least fleshed out of my OCs, but she's actually based around some lore and HCs surrounding The Crystal and Bahamut from the game itself!

To put it shortly: The Crystal is a prison Bahamut used to trap the original sixth astral, Chrysalis. During the time of Ardyn's mission to heal the sick of the starscourge, Chrys was the Oracle's main line of communication to the astrals. Sympathetic to their cause, Chrys often extended her own powers to grant healing and strength to the two when it was needed.

When Bahamut came, there was upset within the astral planes, and through an unknown power, he struck down Chrysalis and trapped her in an aetheryte crystal. Using her as a battery for power, he fueled his own prophecy and ordained that Ardyn would not be king, setting the game's plotline into motion.

At the end of the game, in an alternate turn of events, Noctis winds up shattering the crystal in his fight with Ardyn, and inadvertently frees Chrysalis.

With her and Ardyn's help, they defeat Bahamut and Chrsyalis frees the Lucii from the ring so they may rest in peace.

There are background OCs, crossovers with @joyfullyacat 's ocs, tons more lore and situations I've put these three in, but that's the gist of it!

opinion on ffxv after 75 hours of playing (and one hour of running in circles to level gladio's skill up) (still haven't played any of the dlcs but i'm gonna take a break or something for a few days because i severely neglected my university stuff and spent most of the last week obsessively playing this game)

i love this game. am i tired? hell yeah. would i want all these hours back? hell no.

the game is a mystery to me.

the sidequests are genshin impact open world quests level (which means that if i hear anyone talking, i'm pressing the skip button because i don't give a fuck). you listen to someone yapping about unimportant stuff and they make you collect the same shit over and over again. peak game design.

the main quests are good but the ending made me age 10 years in a week. there's NO NEED for these tragedies. boy you literally have the power of gods on your side and they tell you the only way to get rid of the big bad villain is to kill yourself? sounds like bullshit to me. also why even bother if there's only a few thousands people left in the world. you already lost, all this stuff had to be done 10 years ago to have any meaning. and there's no way the world didn't just implode or something when the sun stopped rising. the true ending is noctis getting spat out of the crystal and realising everyone is long gone because there's no sunlight.

the mentally ill hobo could have been more cooperative too geez. i'll be honest i like him much more than the six. and everyone's like "oh gods are helping you" no they hate me and want me to die for no reason. i'd rather join forces with ardyn and try to take them down. even if he did a lot of questionable stuff (cough- killed my bride -cough-cough- and her brother -cough- also kidnapped my friend and tortured him-)

the hunts are kinda fun when it's a big monster but when it's a bunch of goblins i'm like,,, why did you call me here? ngl i thought all hunts would be like the first one, it was truly cool. there was some kind of plot, some interactions with my friends, some stealth, the monster seemed really tough (meanwhile me, fighting the lvl 99 adamantoise 65 hours later: the ring of lucii go brrr-)

the dungeons are ass. i thought nothing could be as disorienting as daggerfall's randomly generated dungeons but they really managed to do a miracle with ffxv. although the dungeons in ffxv are not scary at all, that's the difference.

the open world is okay. there're some interesting places (when you first see the big mysterious creature in the lake you're like do i have to fight it?? can i get closer to it?? what is this??) and the nature is beautiful. altissia looks majestic but sadly there's not much to do. i appreciate the hard work tho.

using regalia was a delight. when you want to take a break and just look at the landscape you can just sit still with a controller in your hands and enjoy the ride. really therapeutic. don't drive at night when you're low level though... listen to ignis. ignis is always right.

the camp life is by far the best out of all games i've had an experience with. there's so many little details everywhere that you cannot help but adore your companions. it's the way every time you make camp you get a bunch of photos prompto took since the last break. it's the way your companions talk to you almost all the time and you truly feel like you are on a road trip with your friends. it's the way gladio calls you out on your bullshit and afterwards you want to bite his head off each time you talk to him. it's the way ignis cooks for the entire party and makes you help him sometimes. i just love the way friendship is portrayed here.

what was not as good is luna and noct's relationship. there was not enough of luna. yes she loves noct but why? yes noct loves luna but why? luna literally appeared in the plot for two minutes and then tragically died. i think it's really bad. also imagine not seeing your bride for 12 years, when you finally meet her again she immediately dies, then you spend 10 years trapped in a crystal, fucking die and then get to marry your bride. honey it's been 22 years since i last talked to you in person. i'm NOT marrying a random woman in the afterlife (no hate for luna, just this love story didn't seem convincing enough). hopefully i'm gonna see what they wrote in the dawn of the future soon (please pray so that my amazon package doesn't get lost 🙏)

the music is incredible. the woman who wrote the soundtrack is my goddess and i am a devout worshipper 🙏🙏🙏

so, why is the game a mystery to me? because no other game could make me endure 75 hours of boring side quests. i managed to play hogwarts legacy for 44 hours and i despised that game when i finished it. i despised it long before i finished it. but not ffxv. they could make me do all this boring stuff again and i would do it (not for free tho because i've got better things to do with my time 🤣)

i enjoyed ffxv a lot. it also made me depressed for a week because ending a game like that should be a crime. i think i'm gonna do a few last quests after that but there's not much left (and i'm not looking for more because if i think i am done then i am done). not sure how long episodes gladiolus, prompto and ignis are gonna take, but they're also in my plans (no ardyn tho, gotta go watch some playthrough). there's also anime and a film so plenty of content for me. and i am waiting for the arrival of my book 🫡

(noticed that there's nothing about the combat. well it's because i don't care. i don't like combat. i don't like it in any game. i prefer to flee)

I was struck with the mental image earlier of the Lucii in the Ring *reacting* to the revelation of King Regis having All The Bastards. (Bet it was hilarious!)

The Ring is silent for one brief blissful moment as they come into proximity with seven sources of magic that none of the Lucii have ever felt before.

“Mors,” The Rogue is the one to break the silence, “Your son took his title rather seriously didn’t he?”

“I am going to kill him,” Mors says as his eyebrow twitches, “I am going to crack the Ring open like an egg and kill him.”

“That would be frowned upon,” Somnus points out.

“Like I want family advice from a kinslayer.”

That is as far as any conversation goes because the Ring erupts into chaos as Ardyn makes a rather grand entrance and promptly claims all go Regis’ children as his.

“Get fucked Somnus-“ someone cackles over the the cacophony of voices, “-your brothers a better father than you managed to be!”
