Final Fantasy Xv The Dawn Of The Future

Okay, let’s talk about Final Fantasy XV: The Dawn of the Future. You know, the one that was tragically canceled? Yeah, that one.

Everyone was super bummed, and rightfully so. But, and this is a big "but," maybe, just maybe, it’s not the end of the world?

Unpopular Opinion Incoming!

I'm going to say it. I think the cancellation of The Dawn of the Future might be… a blessing in disguise? *ducks for cover*

Hear me out! I'm not saying the ideas weren’t cool. A fully realized Ardyn Izunia redemption arc? Luna getting her due? Absolutely!

But sometimes, less is more. Remember that one time you added, like, three extra ingredients to your already perfect pasta sauce? Yeah, exactly.

The Power of Mystery

Part of the magic of FFXV is that bittersweet, lingering feeling. The "what ifs" and the unanswered questions are honestly compelling.

Filling in every single plot hole might actually diminish that feeling. Some stories benefit from a little bit of ambiguity, right?

Imagine Citizen Kane if they explained exactly what "Rosebud" was in painful detail. Ruined! (Okay, maybe not ruined, but significantly less impactful.)

Ardyn: Better Left a Little Evil?

Okay, I love Ardyn. He’s a magnificent villain. But did he *need* a full redemption arc?

Sometimes, the best villains are the ones who stay, well, villainous. Their tragic backstories add depth, sure, but completely absolving them of their actions? Debatable.

Ardyn's motivations are already understandable. Maybe adding even more layers would just muddy the waters. Plus, a complicated villain is way more fun than a misunderstood hero.

Luna: An Imperfect Saint?

Look, Lunafreya deserved better. We all know it. Her screen time was tragically short.

But the idea of making her... what was it, some kind of powerful god-like figure? Eh, I don't know. It felt a bit much.

Maybe it's just me, but I prefer Luna as the flawed, determined, and deeply caring Oracle we got. She didn't need to be a goddess to be impactful. She was already amazing.

Fan Theories: The Real "Dawn of the Future"

Honestly, the best part about the cancelled DLC is the explosion of amazing fan theories. Seriously, some people have come up with storylines that are *better* than what Square Enix probably had planned.

The community has filled in the gaps with passion and creativity. Isn't that kind of awesome? We get to imagine our own versions of the story.

So, instead of mourning what could have been, maybe we should celebrate what *is*: a fantastic game with a compelling world, unforgettable characters, and a dedicated fanbase who are still keeping the story alive. Even without the "official" ending.

Final Thoughts (Probably Unpopular)

I know, I know. Saying I'm okay with The Dawn of the Future being cancelled is sacrilege. But I stand by it!

Sometimes, the most beautiful stories are the ones that leave a little something to the imagination. The ones that let us dream.

So, let's raise a glass (of Wiz Chocobo Shake, naturally) to Final Fantasy XV and its enduring legacy. And maybe, just maybe, be a little grateful for the stories that remain unfinished.
