Final Fantasy XV/Characters/Playable Characters

The Crownsguard
Specifically, tropes that apply to Noctis and his friends in general.


 * Badass Crew: Specifically, of the Crown Prince and his loyal retainers.
 * Bodyguarding a Badass: The other three are supposed to do this for Noctis, though a few points in the game flip this around, forcing Noctis to return the favor.
 * Dark Is Not Evil: Their standard outfits are all black, but they are all good.
 * Sharp-Dressed Man: Their outfits are based off Real Life designer clothing.

Noctis Lucis Caelum


Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Lucis.


 * Badass: Practically a family trait, given they can power a barrier powerful enough to shield an entire country.
 * Heartbroken Badass: He loses a lot of people he cares about over the story, starting with his own father.
 * In The Blood: Every king in his family line has the same powers he does.
 * Royals Who Actually Do Something: He's the crown prince and eventual king, and he's expected to live up to the definition of nobility that meant you have to prove you are a warrior.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He can be somewhat broody, self-centered, egotistical, and even the occasional outright jackass. At the end of the day, though, he's definitely the man worthy to succeed his father as king of his people.
 * Perky Goth: Dark clothing and his prototype edgelord style character aside (dropped from the final game), the actual Noctis is a pretty sarcastic, generally far more outgoing guy.
 * Sleepyhead: Man loves his naps. Not only will he frequently comment on it, one thing he can get all of his friends to agree on is that he and early mornings do not mix.
 * Strong Family Resemblance: After a Time Skip, he really starts to resemble his father Regis.
 * Teleport Spam: His signature powers.

 * Badass
 * Badass Finger-Snap: Used for deciding what to cook.
 * Handicapped Badass: Gets rendered towards the end of the first part of the game. Eventually manages to overcome said handicap if not become even more adept than he used to be.
 * Battle Butler: Given he's frying up cooked ass when he not kicking it, definitely.
 * Real Men Cook
 * Specs of Awesome
 * The Smart Guy: Given he balances the team's books, serves as their official driver, and whose special skills revolves around battle tactics, he's certainly the smartest man on the team.
 * Supreme Chef: To the point he can replicate and even improve on restaurant level cuisine simply by having some himself. He's also able to whip up new recipes simply by reading about random food items and when you gather certain ingredients, his mind filling in the blanks how to make a meal out of them from there.

Gladiolus Amicitia

 * Badass: Especially notable is he was Noctis' combat instructor, and we see why.
 * Ironic Name: While he name brings to mind a type of sword, the gladius, his full first name is that of an actual flower, which he is not nearly as delicate as.
 * Then again, given he's an outdoorsman by trade, it may not be so ironic if it refers to his ability to scrounge up edibles in the wild.
 * Survivalist Stash: His special skill revolves around finding these and adding to his own team's.

Prompto Argentum

 * Badass:
 * Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Or rather, did Prompto take down the ? Yes. Yes he did.

 * Camera Fiend
 * Cold Sniper: He can become one in his DLC episode.
 * The Engineer: His secondary weapons are various tools, much like those used by Edgar''.
 * Expy: His DLC episode reveals he's basically a HEROIC Liquid Snake.
 * To be specific:.
 * Formerly Fat: He used to be pudgy and slimmed down, generally because he wanted to impress people like Noctis..
 * Happily Adopted: And as we discover in his DLC episode, the alternative would have been far worse.
 * Mark of Shame: Which he takes pains to hide from people because it's a horrible reminder of his past..
 * Neck Snap: He can do stealth kills of Magitek troopers in his DLC by doing this, but he tends to drag his foe to the ground and immobilize them before wrenching their neck.
