The Final Fantasy XV party members' DLCs don't make much sense (Spoilers)

As someone who skipped the dlc. You think I am better off? From the sounds of it, the answer seems yes.

Play Gladio and Ignis' for the gameplay alone. Can't really recommend Prompto's.

And your complaints about Promptos clothing are easily explained. When he was knocked off the train he fall in the non snow part. He could have picked some clothes up to fight the winter. If you are going to get into the knitting gritty then explain how the bros put up a full tent and BBQ while being no where near their car haha!

Also Prompto gets knocked off on chapter 11 and isn't seen again until the end of chapter 13. You meet up with Arenaea in tenabrae with Noct then she meets up with Prompto. But what you probably didn't notice was that Arenaea was actually Ardyn, she was never there. That part is only explained in the one last line of the episode.

That's...very dumb, and I don't think there's anything in the game that supports it. Aranea, after all, takes down the Magitek factory, and what's arguably the most daunting daemon the Empire has ever created.

If Ardyn was Areanea,

a) It would make zero sense that she's supportive of him.

b) It would make zero sense that she takes down the factory.

c) It would make zero sense that she allows Prompto to tag for the ride, or securing him escape routes.

d) It would make zero sense that she encourages reuniting with his friends in Galea.

Because none of those four events help Ardyn in the slightless, nor you ever see Ardyn taunting Prompto again with any of those four premises. The FF wikia for both Aranea and Ardyn don't say they're the same character, either, and treat them separatedly for their actions in Episode Prompto.

While the clothes thing is probably plot/gameplay segregation, still doesn't make sense that Prompto found a bunch of clothes (from nowhere, and if he interacted with someone then he had arrived into a city or a town) and ventured into the snow. He would have procured himself a car, or call their friends with the mobile phone. The fact that Prompto is anywhere but captive at the start of the episode, and he has found himself with better clothing equipment is already contradictory itself.

He's morphed into her, Ardyn likes to play games. Just watch some YouTube videos on it. There's tons of evidence to support. The final scene alone nails it. Why would Arenaea just stay there and let Prompto drive off? Then seconds later Ardyn is just standing where Arenaea was lol. Not only that but Arenaea lies to Prompto, why would she lie to him? Arenaea and Ardyn are conveniently never in the same scene ever during the episode. She wears her clothes exactly like him, look at her scarf for example. Ardyn taking down the factory means little to him, if you play chapter 13-2 you will see he has little care for the Empire really, and it's all just a game of vengeance for him. He wants to get in your head. There's other stuff that I've missed but it's been a while since i played that part.
