All of Ardyn's themes that we've gotten so far and because I just wanted a video that had them all together. He's honestly one of my favorite villains. (No copyright infringement intended)
*Timestamps if you're lazy like me or you just wanna listen to one soundtrack in particular* First theme: 0:00 Ardyn II: 5:20 Ardyn III: 8:07 Ardyn IV: 10:25
@@noctisluciscilem386 not that simple, I'm afraid: in order to fix the Scourge, Astrals needed a vessel heavily infected to compare with clean cells. Like modern version of alchemy. Ardyn healed all the victims of Starscourge by transfering their disease to himself - Crystal detects it, rejects Ardyn; ending of Ardyn's episode heavily implies his brother was forced by Bahamut the same way he tortured Ardyn. The whole thing could be so much better if Astrals found a willing sacrifice. When FFXV just came out, there were speculations that Ardyn might be an offspring of an alliance of Bahamut and mortal woman hence the hatred
My name is Ardyn Izunia. I'm 2033 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Eos, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as the chancellor for the Niflheim Empire, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.
I love all of them but not a single one is like the first one, his true theme. It's so mischievous in a dark and twisted way. Like I know who you are but you don't know me. I mean come on look at him, behind that nice smile is the devil himself. The other themes play when you already know his true intentions. Yoko Shimomura is an effing genius
"I'm not fond of camping so we shall stay at the caravan over yonder." "Absorb the crystal's power arise as its champion and then I shall have my revenge." "How about a family reunion so you can see the man that he is today." "Ardyn Lucis Caelum is my proper name."
@@sirdiesalot7626 wasn't Izuna Ardyn's brother who "usurped" the throne from Ardyn when he took in to many daemons hence becoming "corrupted" by the darkness
Even though Yoko Shimomura composed Ardyn's theme, it actually sounds along the lines of the old Uematsu-composed FF villain themes, and not very much like a typical Shimomura track. The first Ardyn theme this at least somewhat makes sense in that she co-composed it with Yoshitaka Suzuki, though the others she did on her own.
Before You read: ffxv is my First Final Fantasy so i can't compare Ardyn to Others villains Like sephiroth or Others. And i am German so i Player in German and i am talking about the German edition. Ardyn is my favourite Videogame villain i don't think anyons ever gave me a Feeling of beeing purely scared. Yes i was scared He has such a nice trustable voice but that scared me as He revealed himself as Ardyn Lucis Caelum i only sat there and was scared. I Hope You understand what i mean. I can't write english very well If you See a mistake or typing Error pls say IT to me thanks
The sad part is how he is being forced to be a villain, all the betrayals were ordered by bahamut, in the true good ending which was going to be in a novel bahamut is the final boss. This would be episode noctis and lunafreya, luna became the queen of darkness going against the god/summons I think and noctis chooses to not sacrifice himself instead team up with ardyn to defy fate, so the three of them go against bahamut and beat his ass. With this done noctis names ardyn the true first king, ardyn finally dies, Noctis and Luna had children who look like them, the names are unknow.
@@idek5 I play FFVII (the original) right now. Sephiroth is cool but I don't really get why He ist evil. He seems more like an:"i want to be an badguy so now i am evil" villain.
I feel so sorry for this game, square could have done much more for this game if they would have given more time, story feels so half baked, world building is not properly done which is the main aspect of every final fantasy, otherwise it's world is vast enough to have a trilogy of it's own
I kinda counted it as a boss theme rather than like, a theme that plays when he appears (apologies for the late response, youtube never seems to give me notifications until i actually check them myself haha)
@@izuniias3794 I can see where coming from when you say that. But on the other hand it’s kinda like not including One Winged Angel in a Sephiroth themes compilation it’s still a part of the list of themes he has associated with him.
