think-man said: That's my point aswell, Ardyn loves to play games. He's just a prick really. In the outside it might look like what he does makes no sense, but when you look into things deeper you see why. |
(Super Spoilers Obviously) Exactly there's a lot of layers to Ardyn, we know he was supposed to be the first king, we know he healed people by absorbing the star scourge from them which caused his body to be impure and was not allowed to transcend by the gods and the crystal and than he was betrayed by his brother who started the Lucis Bloodline. So with the star scourge and the betrayal of those around him when all he wanted to do was save everyone it twisted his mind and personality, Ardyn knows he can't die unless the true King gets rid of the Star Scourge, we know Ardyn hates his bloodline for betraying and demonizing him, we know at one point Ardyn cared about the world enough to purposely absorb the star scourge into his body from people in order to heal them, so by the end of the game Ardyn basically gets everything he wanted, he ends the Lucis bloodline, he finally gets to die (he even mentions to Noctis how painful it has been for him to be alive for so long) and IF there was any shred of goodness left in Ardyn from when he was a King and a healer than he also managed to finally save the world from the star scourge by making sure no matter what that Noctis became the true King by forcing all the events in the game to happen. So hopefully when they release episode Ardyn we can see some of the scenes in the game from his perspective along with some flash back scenes from when he was a healer.
