So one of my biggest peeves about the story is the way the transition between chapters 13 and 14 when Noctis is pulled into the crystal and then just returns 10 years later. They had an opportunity for some major character development with Noctis as he becomes worthy of being a king. They dropped the ball on that big time. This could have been an easy way to plug an extra 4-5 hours doing trials and maybe touching on the darker side of Noct that we seen in the Omen trailer. See what takes of him to go through his inner darkness of fear and anger of everything thats happened. He definitely has a more mature and serious demeanor when he returns and that could have been awesome to see that change take place, not just have him pop back up. Also I think giving us another 4-5 hours alone without the gang like they did in chapter 13 would have made the 10 years feel like it actually took place.
