God, I love Prompto mostly because he’s actually so relatable and seems so real. I feel like I’d know someone like Prompto or even *be* Prompto, especially with his need to be apart of the group and how much of an outsider he truly is (being from niflhiem and *not* apart related to anyone high ranking in Lucis). He worked so hard to just get friends. And his loyalty and friendship to Noct. That’s my aesthetic right there considering how they contrast each other yet are still the same and relate. There’s so much to him OOF I love my boy and I hate he wasn’t given a bigger role but he’s sort of kind of apart of some prophecy so I guess that’ll do idk.
TL;DR: PROMPTO IS A BEAUTIFUL PEICE OF SUNSHINE AND I LOVE HIM AND HE DESERVES THE WORLD.
I actually never realized Prompto wore leopard-print pants. I just thought they were black. And sure, Prompto may not be important to the story, but I do believe that his importance lies with Noctis. He's Noctis' very best and closest friend, the first to reach out to him and be a genuine friend, rather than just sucking up to him to get on his good side because he's the prince. His close friendship with Prompto is shown when he gets knocked off the train; Noctis is about ready to cry in rage and frustration upon thinking that his best friend is gone. And you are right, Prompto is the heart of the group. The others are more likely to smile and joke around when Prompto is around. And when posing, they all just act like a group of goofballs. Even the serious and fairly stoic Ignis.
Ignus is the car, Gladio the terrain, and Noct (the player) the passenger.
Prompto is the music. You love some of it, you like others, and some you can do without, but in the end if you took it away the game would feel incomplete.
Aw damn your making by sight spheres moist ☹️🥺
Noctis? Ignis? Gladiolus? I can take them or leave (particularly Gladiolus), but Prompto? He's best boy to me, because he's the most relatable, and the most approachable, at least in my opinion.
I know what it's like to feel like you don't stack up with people who are clearly better than you, who are more skilled, more talented, more "superior", basically making you feel like you're shit in comparison. He's just as wrapped up in his insecurities as I am. That's why his talk with Noctis means a lot - he can't open up about that stuff with Gladiolus (who is too masculine, and closed off anyway), and Ignis is cool and all, but Noctis just has that vibe where you can tell him stuff and he will just listen (because he seems introspective anyway). Characters like Prompto are so great for me. He's had the most...well, relatable development in the game in my opinion.
It's the reason I'm attached to the XIII cast. They all had flaws that they needed to overcome, setbacks that took multiple games to resolve (particularly Lightning - don't care how much anyone hates her character, but Lightning's development in that last game of the trilogy and how they tackled it was extremely engaging to see).
He’s certainly not unpopular on AO3, being has he’s featured in more fanfiction stories than anybody else. Hahahaha.
or conventions. Among the FF 15 group he and Noct are the most popular.
K E E P H O P I N G K I D
savage AF
Prompto is the only human in this world of monsters, magic, and edgy stereotypes.
prompto is one of best boys. :D
Prompto isn’t super important but he held the group together in the emotional sense. His origins (barcode) are also the reason Noctis could get to the crystal and his photography made us all emotional in the end. It gave Noctis something to hold onto. He is best boy.
His name is gratuitous Dog Latin for "Quick Silver". Oh my god …
I feel like he was made solely for the purpose for making the game more uplifting and less dull. That's my only guess of why sure he doesn't have any importance but was made in importance to lighten the mood up and such but hey that's just my guess really!~
That, and there had to be someone to balance out the social dynamic. ignis and gladiolus both take up mentorly roles. Without prompto it'd feel like noctis was on a road trip with his gay parents.
true~ ^-^
If Prompto didn't exist the game would only be a quarter of how great it is to me, because it would only be a quarter as funny XD
@@bri5033 if any of them didn't exist the game would be bad
I agree with you, Prompto was the reason I enjoyed this game so much and he was definitely my favourite character in the whole game. I really likes that the fleshed him out a bit and I felt really bad for him following the events of the game after he got seperated from the others. He might be a bit cringy at times but I honestly thought he was being more fun than cringey.
I absolutely love Prompto, from the moment I saw him. I can relate to hiding insecurities with a smile, and constantly feeling like you're tricking everyone into thinking you're more interesting than you really are. I think he's someone a lot of player can see themselves in, which is part of why he's so endearing.
I also like going out of my way to piss off my brother by calling Prompto "Toto" every chance I can.
Yoooooo IT'S MY BOY!!!
I fucking love Prompto, from the very start. He is totally my favorite little nerd baby.
But like how dare you say he isn't even needed in the game?? I mean, maybe you are not completely wrong, but I wonder at how playable it would have been without him. One reason FFVIII was so difficult for me to really get into was because of Squall's attitude. I liked the flashbacks as Laguna more than I enjoyed being Squall, and his party didn't break up his mood enough for me to be super into the game. I think that XV without Prompto would have been the same, if not worse, for me to play through. Gladio's character gets on my nerves like literally nothing else in the game, and I'd probably have not finished it yet if it didn't have the fun break that Prompto brings it.
Anyway, sooo glad you are doing this series. Curious to see your takes on Iggy and Noctis.
Lol, i appreciate the comment, though i think we're just saying the same thing really? From a gameplay perspective I never said he wasn't 'needed', I said he was needed because his character was crucial to lightening the mood and making the overall experience more fun to sit through, which is what you just said also.
But from a storyline and narrative point of view, Prompto doesn't do much for the overall in-game story. He's there along for the ride but he doesn't bring anything to the story that the game warrants as 'important'. I mean, he turns out to be a soldier built by the Niflheim army and how much of that news effected the story or narrative? It didn't. Noctis and the others didn't even care, lol. The one big plot twist that Prompto had going for him was treated like it meant next to nothing.
So, standing by what i said, Prompto doesn't hold much importance to the games storyline because everything is self contained to mostly just him, and if Prompto had been removed the storyline would have continued just as it had done, BUT from a gameplay perspective he's important to us as the player because he makes the 'experience' of playing the game something fun and lively :)
As for Iggy, he's next up! Noctis will have to wait until his DLC episode drops because i need to see what it does to his storyline, if anything ~
Oh yeah, man, I forget sometimes that tone doesn't exactly read easily online through text :lol:
That was like... "Wow HDU say that about my baby even though I agree with what you said??" I mean, you're not wrong about his importance to the actual storyline - you just got me thinking about how much I would have wanted to play it had he been cut out of it, if that makes sense. It gave me FFVIII flashbacks in a not so good way, ha.
Also...are they doing DLC for Noctis? o_O Or are you just joking? I probably wouldn't put it past them but also, like, idk. Text is hard to read into :lol:
Lol, it's fine! It was a good discussion regardless! But i totally get what you mean, yeah. :)
As for the DLC, yeah. It's true. There's 4 more planned for this year/next year. Noctis is getting one, as are Ardyn, Aranea and Lunafreya. But not Iris though, because of course not :(
Hey look it's Prompto or otherwise known as: god dammit Prompto stop singing the Final Fantasy theme for the hundredth time. But otherwise he is a good nerd.
Gladio: "Sounds like you're having fun."
Prompto "GodDAMNIT you died *_AGAIN???"_* Argentum
Waiting for Ignis.
Don't worry, i got'chu. Next episode. :)
Still collecting those ingredients for that new recipeh
DiGi Valentine
He was my favourite but I can’t remember why
Soooooo you’ll probably show why.
J H :I call him "Ignigga," lol
Still waiting
I know what you mean! You would think that comforting someone like Prompto who’s worried about their past by saying it doesn’t shape who they are would help. But Prompto probably also wanted to have his past acknowledged instead of pushed to the side
My baby boy at last!!!!
That intro tho. Showing off more Iris outside of the Gladio episode I see? Derpy Prompto shot aside, not bad, not bad at all.
Also can I just give props to the dev team for giving this dude such a fun gameplay style? I wasn’t so sure how good his DLC episode was going to play since it’s way more shooting oriented, but hot damn, it can get more satisfying to beat the crap out of enemies as him than Noct sometimes.
Prompto has joie de vivre. Coming from a guy who used to feel like he had nothing, the change makes sense.
this described why i love prompto so much perfectly. thank you for the analysis!
MY BOY!!!
Prompto is the hottest one though'_-
I need to say, since he holds little importance IN the game and more in our hearts, ESPECIALLY in Noctis' heart. He's not important to the game, but he IS important to Noctis, I mean did you hear Noct shouting and screaming in panic that he wanted Prompto back and where the hell he was etc. he truly cares about him, he's just shy to show that in front of Prompto, but once Prompto was gone, Noctis lost his shit, that was very heartening to see, very emotional yup
Time to watch my comfort character analysis video for the billionth time!
Yes!! Thank you, I absolutely love how you represent him.
Damn, I was not expecting a character to hit so close to home... 😳
0:16 XD Those frickin stoner eyes dude.
Iggy next?
Devon why would he do one about a dog?
Lojics iggy = ignis scientia
Lojics is that a *jojo bizarre adventure reference*
I'm dead *PART 5 HYPE*
Hello Bayonetta, indeed! 💓
Hope this recent theme leads to a video about arguably one of the most interesting villains in Final Fantasy, Ardyn.
After that, well there still many great video game characters to choose from, especially those who have changed over the years. Like God of War's Kratos, or the Doomguy/slayer.
Another good theme would be characters who have a resemblance but are separate people like Lady Maria and The Doll, Dante and Vergil and even Solid Snake and Big Boss.
Avenger85438 probly should wait for episode ardyn first
Dear god Ardyn is overrated as fuck, barely any story or character, typical in so many ways and a very unsatisfying main villian since your last battle with him is underwhelming. He was a bit fun sometimes but that's it. Plenty of better FF villians.
In the character switch, I mostly use Prompto. He's the sunshine of the group.:)
#KeepHoping
Prompto is the princess peach of FF15 XD lol but I never really labeled him as a nerd but now that you've said it. It's TRUE. I didnt like him at first but he grew on me...even broke my heart...poor kid . I ship him so hard south Noctis lol
Speaking of characters that get a bad reputation, think you could review Silver the hedgehog at some point? I ask this because Silver has a bad reputation mostly because he came from Sonic 06. I feel that is a bad excuse to not like someone. I mean, just because a character comes from a bad game does not mean fans need to say “I hate this guy. Worst hedgehog ever!”
I for one like Silver. His design is interesting and I love his psychic powers. I’m hoping at some point, you could review Silver to help give Silver some much needed attention.
But its no use
Michaelangelo
I can really relate to prompto he’s a more relatable character compared to the rest of the group and I like it not everyone is a prince or serious
Prompto looks amazing and so awesome but yes his past does look very sad :*( But who else wouldn't like this guy? I still do
I just found you and you've earned a subscriber.
I love your Who Dat? Videos.
Would love to see you tackle Dante from Devil May Cry at some point
I’ve never even played the games and I’ve only seen 1 episode of the anime but I love him as a character
Wow, I just came to see if you'd made any more videos about the chocobros and there's a new video today :D
My incredible boy
Okay but I love Prompto's biceps, is that bad?
"Imperials Above Us!!!" Stand Your Ground Theme plays..... Prompto is a fuckin Legend!!!
Frankly, I wish we had gotten the Prompto that was created for VersusXIII instead of what they turned him into. Only thing I’m happy about is that in XV, he didn’t turn against Noctis like was supposed to happen in the earlier development.
They seem very conflicted with him seeing as he’s almost nothing but the comic relief in the game then they turned him into a badass in his DLC then gave him the skills he showed there in the canon game’s Royal Edition despite his not having them in the original XV release. And all this before Ignis’s DLC completely erased Prompto’s.
Awesomeness
Prompto is best boi
awesome. a new ffxv video
My friends say I act and look like prompto
My boi, My love.
Prompto getting his face shoved by Gladio is by far my favorite scene
I had the same reversal of opinion about Prompto as you did.
You should do either Hugo or Elena, they're interesting to go over.
CAMERA GANG
Hey Digi! Can you please make a "Who Dat" video on Remy from Street Fighter? I just love watching your videos and I want to see more!
Please Digi, PLEEEEEEAAAAASE GIVE SAGAT A CHANCE! I swear he is deeper than you said in your Vega episode. Heck, he might just be the most developed character in the series! I'm begging here!
I haven’t played FFXV, but I love this boi anyways.❤️🥰
Who Dat Dante
I love him. Lol
Best character on earth is who DAT IS🤩
I'm liking these FFXV videos cause I honestly stopped caring about FF as a series, but knowing that the characters in the new game are interesting and that the game itself is fun makes me wanna pick it up.
*for real though Digi let's get dat Ramza episode you already know Tactics is the best FF in the series boiiiii*
Can you please do Beat And Gum JSRF Edition? Please?
hey found your channel from your Klonoa (Door To Phantomile video, and i need to ask if you base your avatar form Klonoa?? either way, awesome work you doing in this channel.
He's dang cute
Mofuka's back in the building ehh?
*It’s a beautiful day now watch me FUCK IT UP •_•*
So, let me get this straight. Prompto's DLC chapter tells a story which has basically no bearing on the main plot, which doesn't prompt any real reaction from the other characters, Prompto ends up in basically the same emotional state as he was before his chapter, and you think this was an integral part of the original game that was cut by greedy execs and not, just spitballing here, a side story written as DLC for a game that already sold pretty well? Maybe the base game was poorly paced on its own merits, instead of having chunks of "missing" content that don't actually relate to the main storyline. Just a thought.
Digi valentine great video but have you considered doing who dat on SNK characters like kof or samurai showdown.
Could you do Who Dat episodes on the four main FLCL characters (Naota, Mamimi, Haruko, Canti) like how you did with Cowboy Bebop's main four?
What a hottie
Also he exclusively seems to use guns, compared to the guys who all were more fond of melee weapons. I like that.
His story could have been so cool if he used his past as a trump card. For example, faking that he was a double agent from the start and wolf in sheeps clothing his way to get the group some cliche looking robots or hell a mecha chocobo the size of the country for all i care. XD
Is it alright if you can do who dat on any of the SNK characters like kof or samurai showdown please.
Just a suggestion, have you ever had the idea of doing one of these on Rashid from Street Fighter 5?
cool its cloud
Oh hey, it’s best boi
I think angie yonaga is a pretty underrated character.A who dat for angie yonaga would be nice
437 likes and 0 dislikes. We must defend this video from the haters!!!!.
May Ignis be next? Save our fable Prince Noctis for last?
Prompto is best boy. Fight me.
Ey, do you plan on making any other "Who Dat" videos on Street Fighter characters?
Can you do who dat kuja next
So where you find that bayonetta pic
make a side video on dino please,he deserves it
you should do one on necro from third strike.
Aranea and Iris.😚
Could you do
Shingo.y
From King of fighters
Plz do Geno and Mallow from Mario RPG, my dude.
When will best boy be next? Why did you not do best boy?
HE LOOKS LIKE GARRETT WILLIAMSON
hE DOES
Could you pretty please do one of rose from street fighter? 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Anyone know when Prompto was born?
Can you do a who dat for Dreamcasts(and Gamecube) Skies of Arcadia? Namely Vyse and Aika. They both appear in the first Valkyrie Chronicles as secret unlockable characters for your squad. Vyse also appears in Sonic Sega All-Stars Racing with SoA getting it's very own faithful racecourse.
It feels like Skies of Arcadia never got the full attention it deserved. It's my favorite jRPG, and the manner of ship upgrades that work similarly to equipping your characters with better armor & weapons. Yes not only were there random encounters for characters, but their were pirate ship battles in the sky. They are sky pirates after all. Ship upgrades also allow you to further explore the full world for secrets, and new lands.
I beg you to do episodes for these 2 at least, and perhaps Drachma & Fina.
At least 1 of the Armada villains of the Valuan Empire. All 8 leaders of the Armada are great, but not deserving of their own episodes.
I'd say either Lord Galcian, or Alfanso. Galcian might require spoilers though so my pick is Alfanso.
Alfonso is such a spoiled privileged twat, and such a bad person. He's entirely incapable at his job, and shown sacrificing his own crew to cover up his mistakes.
I beg you for these. I would love to watch it, and I also think it deserves the recognition. Everyone that's played it has it in their favorite games list, and in their top 5 RPGs, only problem is not many played it. People who made it(overworks studio) also made rpgs like phantasy star, Sakura Taisen, Magic Knight Rayearth etc
Please
Fran next ?
NixUniverse Fran is my waifu, not yours.
Goujiki uhh yeah, no. She’s mine buddy boy
Bro If you're doing FF characters you should check out Bravely Default probably my favorite JRPG ever made
Do Ardyn Izunia “Lucis Caelum”
Make a Who Dat on one of the newcomers to Street Fighter 5, Rashid.
Can u Do Yugo? (From Netflix French Anime Called "Wakfu") Just Giving a Suggestion for Next Vid. U don't Have to Or Anything.
This sounds like you did a whodat on me
Meth Addict Cloud Strife (Final Fantasy XV) - Who Dat?
Please do Either Kirby, King Dedede Or Meta Knight, please.
