What the fuck was his problem?
He wanted to give Gentiana hot dickings but she was ice cold.

Damn..

Lousy with demons
He realised God was a lie and dedicated himself to revealing the truth.

The 6 fucked him over, and then his brother fucked him over even more.

I know this is meant to be a shitposting thread but I'm going to give a real answer because I loved Ardyne.
He sacrificed his body and soul to save the world and was ostracized and banished by the people he saved. Honestly a pretty good reason to want to kill everyone. Not to mention he was basically sharing his body and mind with thousands of demons which slowly tainted his mind further and further.
FFXV had a lot of issues, but Ardyne probably dethroned Kuja as my favorite FF villain. He had a good motive and plan, his backstory effectively explained why he was so stupidly powerful without stretching logic too far, and he completely succeeded in his schemes. Not to mention I think he has a great design. 10/10 villain, 8/10 game.

This was not meant to be a shitposting thread. I just beat the game last night and I don't really understand the mans deal. There is so many things not clear in the game and ardyn is one of them. The last area with the ifrit and ardyn fight was awesome.

Underwritten, and in a terrible game.

Arden's story is explained by Arden in chapter 13, then explained again by Bahamut, and then explained AGAIN by Arden in the last battle with him

Yeah, one of my issues with FFXV is that it really does have a 10/10 story, but they didn't tell it very clearly. Everything you need is in the game, but they decided to tell it very subtly with small hints and symbolism a lot of the time instead of just telling you. I don't think that worked out too well.
I was confused after finishing it as well and had to go online to understand everything. There are some great youtube videos that lay everything out very clearly, and it's an amazing story when it all comes together. I do think it is straight up bad game design when players have to do that to understand it, though.
I gave the cliff notes in my post above, but you should really check youtube as it's a big story and typing it all here would be a pain.
If I remember right FF Peasant laid it out pretty well here, haven't watched this in months though, I hope it's the right one.

>10/10 story,
Episode Prompto /soon/ brothers
You guys excited? Episode Gladio was cool if a bit short

That is what makes me sad about Ardyne. He is actually a pretty great character with a lot of potential, but the game does such a poor job explaining any of it outside side stuff that he feels underused.

Cool video, thank you.

Yeah now I kinda wish I voted for ardyns past instead. Hopefully that comes out at some point.
