QuestsEdit

Optional scenesEdit

PromptoEdit

Staying at the motel from Chapter 2 onwards can trigger a scene between Noctis and Prompto when it is not raining where Prompto talks about his misgivings of being part of Noctis's retinue when he doesn't feel accomplished enough. The player's dialogue choices steer the conversation. Talking to Prompto yields the Pop filter for photos.

If the player sends Prompto away at the first dialogue option, he will try to initiate the conversation again when the player stays at a motel another time.

Adamantoise huntEdit

14 14 friends Adamantoise quest 2 ending

All possible NPCs at the diner.

The Crow's Nest Diner at the Longwythe Rest Area becomes the gathering place for the acquaintances Noctis has made on his travels after the hunt for adamantoise. If the player talks to Dave, he will take the player to the diner where up to 14 non-playable characters congratulate Noctis's party and yield an Oracle Ascension Coin each. How many people attend depends on how many quest-givers the player has met. The people the party has befriended along their journey always appear, but for the others the player needs to accept a quest from them, besides Kimya, who appears if the player does all of Dave's quests.

The NPCs who can appear are:

Randolph is the only recurring quest-giver who doesn't make an appearance.

Gone HuntingEdit

Gone-Hunting-Dave-Sidequest-FFXV — Gone Hunting.

David Auburnbrie appears by the Three Z's Motel and asks Noctis and his friends to find a lost dog tag in the wilderness northeast of the outpost. Talking to the tipster at Crow's Nest Diner may unveil its exact location. After the quest is finished, Dave next heads to the Prairie Outpost.
