  • In artwork of Act 2 Finale Part 1, Noctis and Ardyn face each other in poses mirroring that of Regis and Ardyn's confrontation Episode-Ardyn-Armiger nearing the end of Final Fantasy XV: Episode Ardyn, which was itself derived from a pre-development screencap Versus XIII Noctis VS Robe Man involving Noctis and the white hooded figure in Final Fantasy Versus XIII, the original plan for Final Fantasy XV.
  • Ardyn is partnered with Leon for his Force ability as well as partner to Vayne.
    • Ardyn partnered with Leon is forged through the game's own story; Ardyn tries to establish himself as Leon's mentor in the ways of the Dark Knight. Leon turned against his family when he came into Palamecia's service, while Ardyn turned on his kin when he had been spurned by both his brother and the Lucian crystal.
    • Partner to Vayne, both men were turned aside by the gods of their respective worlds, and harbor disdain for the gods of any world, seeking to defy fate.
