Buddy Requests
Producers Wan Hazmer and Prasert “Sun” Prasertvithyakarn revealed more details about Noctis’ party members at PAX East 2015.
Gladiolus Amicitia is the eldest member of the group, and also the strongest and bravest of the pack. Though he’s been trained in fighting since he was young, Gladiolus is a pretty laid-back guy who cares about his friends a great deal. He also has the highest amount of hit points in the group.
Ignis Scientia is Noctis’ childhood friend and takes on the role of the knowledgeable one in the party. He’s also a pretty talented cook and is in charge of preparing food for his friends. In Episode Duscae, Ignis will be able to use Cure magic, and is also equipped with a weapon that allows him to use the ability “Venom Strike”.
Prompto Argentum is Noctis’ classmate, and also the aforementioned blonde guy responsible for breaking down the car. Unlike Ignis and Gladiolus, Prompto has never learned to fight and this causes him to get anxious during battle. He has a bind technique to help weaken enemies in battle.
While you’re exploring Duscae in the demo, your buddies will notice various things along the way and call for your attention. This is usually a hint for clearing a quest, or it could also be a hint to starting a brand new quest.
