'''Chapter 9 - Callings'''

Chapter 9 starts off with you and your friends heading off to Altissia, City on the Sea to summon one of the few guardians in the game: Leviathan. Noctis is continuing his quest to acquire all of the guardians and their favour to allow him the necessary strength and power to make sure the world he knows won’t sink any deeper into turmoil. Their visit to Altissia isn’t all for the guardian, however, as Noctis’ future bride Lady Lunafreya is currently in the city as well and Noctis is determined to find her.

Throughout your time in the city, the empire demand that Lady Lunafreya is handed over to them; otherwise there will be consequences for all involved. It’s at this point Noctis brings it upon himself to try and take charge of the situation and ensure that he will be able to ensure that the citizens will remain safe and that he will do whatever he needs to keep his word. Soon enough, it’s agreed that Noctis’ plan will work and is considered the best option and outcome, rather than handing over Lady Lunafreya.

Shortly after this decision, the empire commences their attack on the city as Lady Lunafreya begins the covenant ceremony to summon Leviathan, so that Noctis can receive her blessing. Unfortunately things aren’t all that easy for Noctis and his friends and Leviathan decides to put him to the test to make sure that he is worthy of her blessing.

As far as tests go, this one is fairly extensive and dramatic to say the least, because Leviathan feels the need to make a destroyed and floating Altissia her battleground, which will require Noctis to put all of his abilities to the test to make sure that Leviathan sees him as a worthy opponent. This leads to a long battle between Noctis and the serpent-like god who is pulling no punches during the entire encounter.

Despite the odds being incredibly out of Noctis’ favour, he manages to best Leviathan, receives one of the 13 “royal arms” known as the Trident of the Oracle and uses them in a sustained Armiger Limit Break to well and truly bring the Leviathan to her knees for the final time. For such a victory he is bestowed with the blessing of Leviathan, but it comes at quite an extensive cost: his life.

After the battle with the Leviathan, Noctis is left incredibly injured and weak and even appears to be at death’s door. It’s at this point Lady Lunafreya rushes to aid Noctis as best she can with her unique abilities to heal, and as such manages to practically revive Noctis from his previously destroyed state that without her help he might not have been able to recover from quite so easily.

By the end of the chapter, one of the most surprising and heart-breaking parts of the game occurs: the death of Lady Lunafreya. She’s murdered right before Noctis’ very eyes by none other than Ardyn; finally revealing that the man is anything but an ally to Noctis and reveals that he is the main antagonist for FF 15.

'''Commentary'''

Chapter 9 is one of those chapters in the game that starts off fairly slow with some plot exposition here and there to set things in motion, but quickly ramps the craziness factor all the way up to 11 the moment it starts to kick off! When you know that the story is only going to become more gripping and intense with each passing chapter, it’s safe to say the run up to the finale of the game isn’t going to be a slow one in the slightest.
