Separated from his companions, he trudges through the snow, and eventually comes across an Empire facility that uses a powerful substance known as magitek to create its army of soldiers and monsters. “Episode Prompto” takes place during the events of FFXV, when Prompto finds himself thrown from a moving train into a desolate, frozen tundra. Warning: this review includes light spoilers for Final Fantasy XV and “Episode Prompto. It’s a great chance to jump back into the vibrant world of FFXV - and delve into a brief chapter that feels like nothing else in the rest of the game. But in “Episode Prompto,” the second major add-on for FFXV, we get to see a different side, a more serious action experience with Prompto at its center.
In a lot of ways, he’s the heart of the game, the lovable character who helps round out the rest of the crew. He jokes constantly throughout the game, hums tunes in the middle of battle, and never misses a chance to take a selfie. If you think of the main cast of Final Fantasy XV as a prototypical boy band, blond gunslinger Prompto fits snuggly into the cute, goofy archetype.
