10 Important Video Game Plot Twists Barely Anyone Saw
4. Prompto's True Origin (Final Fantasy XV)
The Final Fantasy series is renowned for its exceptional storytelling, weaving intricate and thrilling fantasy tales with compelling characters, high stakes, rich worlds, and thought-provoking themes. Final Fantasy XV is, in this regard, somewhat divisive, as while it tells a fascinating story, the main game seems to miss out plenty of important details. This is particularly notable in the character of Prompto.
This firearm-wielding party member has a thrilling plot twist moment that reveals not only a lot about him, but also the history of Niflheim itself. You see, Prompto is a clone created to become a magitek soldier, a horrifying truth that brings about themes of identity, experimental warfare, free will, and more. Unfortunately, the reveal of this important plot twist is only really available if you pay for the Final Fantasy XV: Episode Prompto story expansion.
While the mainline game addresses this insane revelation, it does so in barely registered, scant lines of dialogue, making it feel like an afterthought despite its massive implications. As such, only those who played this DLC truly experienced this twist, which is a shame as it's one of FFXV's most compelling story elements.
