Little do they know, though, that their entire world is about to change, as neighbouring baddies Niflheim gradually encroach further and further into Noctis’ kingdom of Lucis. They’re an incredibly real and natural bunch of characters, and their idle interactions with each other make them some of the most believable creations I’ve ever seen. They goad and chide each other as they chat in the car or in the field, they fidget restlessly in their seats as you drive toward your next destination, and Prompto’s incessant camera-snapping both delights and infuriates his friends in equal measure. In what will no doubt become an epic tale of bromance and world-saving heroics, our main leads are really just four lads on a stag do having a bit of a jolly. Will it really make any difference if Noctis lets go, even just a little bit? Probably not.Īnd yet, for all its ordinariness, this little scene captures the tone of Final Fantasy XV perfectly. It’s hardly the most fanciful start for prince Noctis and his loyal retainers, but when you’re stuck in a desert on the way to a wedding – without a single chocobo nearby to help wrangle into service – what’s a pampered royal to do, except argue about whether beefcake Gladiolus is burly enough to push it all by himself? Prompto’s skinny arms certainly won’t be much help, and Ignis needs to be upfront in the driver’s seat in order to steer.

Final Fantasy XV begins with a broken-down car.
