That's possible. I never got far enough in the game to find out, because the gameplay turned me away too hard. That's the thing about RPGs. Even if we play them for the stories, ultimately they're still games. If the game part is too onerous, the promise of a story at the end isn't enough to get me through.

FFXV is kind of boring to me, and I haven't finished it, but I generally regard it as step up from FFXII.
