There is, however, an in-game rendered version of Prompto as a fat child, first introduced in the anime tie-in, so at least we get that. What is even going on with this loading screen?

It may have been nicer if this is how we first discovered Prompto’s origins. It’s nice to have, but as retrospective context as opposed to a reveal it’s a bit lacking in impact throughout. Here, at least, XV is given some time to delve into Prompto’s history and Verstael’s experiments. This is revealed abruptly and without context in Final Fantasy XV itself, and never feels like it has much bearing on the plot at all.

He’s also Prompto’s creator, as he is a “reject clone” (I warned you about spoilers). This guy is responsible for creating the magitek soldiers, who are all Stormtrooper-esque clones of himself merged with demon power. XV is given some time to delve into Prompto’s history and Verstael’s experiments.ĭuring this time Prompto finds himself at a magitek production facility, overseen by the DLC’s mad scientist big bad, Verstael. As you’d expect, Episode Prompto follows Prompto after he is “accidentally” pushed off of a train by Noctis (Ardyn used magic to make Prompto appear to be him during the train attack), but before he meets back up with the rest of the party in Chapter 13, inside Zegnautus Keep. It’d be hard to talk about the story of Episode Prompto without spoiling some of the late-game story of Final Fantasy XV, so consider this your warning.
