Noctis Lucis Caelum, nicknamed
Noct, will be a playable character and the protagonist of
Final Fantasy Versus XIII. He is a prince, the last heir to a dynasty ruling over the last kingdom to control
crystals,
and from his throne, defends his kingdom from marauders and barbarians
who seek to conquer the city and claim the crystals by force. He has a
number of companions, including his driver and a fugitive, and his
family is known to operate in a similar manner to the modern-day mafia.
Though he doesn't wish to fight her, circumstances force him to do
battle with
Stella Nox Fleuret, and he is also speculated to be opposed by a mysterious man robed entirely in white.
Noctis talking to Stella, this image is one of the first in-game images of the game
Noctis displays unearthly skills in battle, wielding a variety of
weapons including swords, spears, axes, and firearms, among others,
though his primary weapon appears to be a falchion fashioned with an
engine at the hilt. He can conjure the weapons into the air and wield
them by hand or by telekinesis, through the power of the Crystals,
allowing him to form a wall of weapons which can act as a shield. He
has also displayed the ability to teleport, seemingly to the locations
of his weapons, allowing him to throw one of his weapons a great
distance and reappear where it lands seconds later, the weapon in hand.
In battle, his hair and eye colors change depending on which weapons
and abilities he uses, though the reason for this has not been
revealed.
Noctis is said to be a very shy person but tries to hide it by
"acting cool," as seen in the TGS footage where he and Stella had a
short conversation about the two of them seeing a form of "light".
Stella goes on to explain a legend of
Tenebrae, that when a person is able to see the "light", they will receive the powers of the dead from the
Goddess Etro.
The footage was shown to give the people an idea of the two characters'
personalities. In the footage, Noctis is also able to speak briefly
with a painting of the goddess, asking who she is.
