I believe it is from Hamlet when refering to Denmark as a prison (I studied it at A level much to my discontent) so it might be referring to the state of Noctis' country seeing as they are at civil war. The quote may not directly refer to the plot but I think they are just showing a similarity of themes (Nation is at war, struggle for power as the King, son trying to protect his father's legacy etc.) And people may complain how the plot of son-trying-to-reclaim-his-fathers-throne-from-uncle is way too cliched and overused but I was taught in media, in essence, there are only seven or eight (I can't remember the exact number) stories that are told over and over again (so we shouldn't be too harsh on XII lol). Even Shakespeare 'stole' quite a few of his stories from older sources (Hamlet was originally an Dannish story, hence it being set in Denmark)
I'll stop my little history lesson for now lol.
I thought that the third picture was the same person in the second picture personally. It's just that the second was in-game graphics and the second was from a cutscene. But I dunno, I'm probably wrong.
Edit: Shakespeare's over-rated
