Prompto isn’t included because he is a photographer. Ignis is included because his cooking and sewing skills are not for art but pragmatic reasons. Thanks for voting and letting us know what you think!!

A painting I originally intended to use as an info card art, but I realised with the small size of them and how long it was taking to paint, it was a bad idea. In the end I opted for simple sketches, and decided to share these as prints at a later date when both are finished. (32 Ignis painting is about half way done but I’m busy with a programming project for now so he may stay that way for a month or two).

FFXV fun facts - based on info in FFXV Official Works (English)

Regis is the only major FFXV character not to have a character profile. (He does have one in the FFXV Ultimania, however.)

Ignis joined the Crownsguard after graduating from high school; presumably he's been a member for four or so years.

Noctis "was always raving about" about the dessert he had in Tenebrae, the one Ignis spent years trying to recreate.

Noctis is 3 cm taller than Prompto, while Ignis is 10 cm taller than Prompto (173 cm).

Gladio is the tallest character listed in the book (198 cm), followed by Cor (191 cm). Ardyn is 190 cm tall, according to the Ultimania.

Ravus' height isn't stated in either book :(

Nyx is considered to be the most "awe-inspiring" fighter among the Kingsglaive, hence his nickname "hero".

The book specifically notes that Monica outranks Gladio and Ignis within the Crownsguard.

Chocobo racing is "the national sport of Lucis". (This is mentioned in-game, under "Wiz Chocobo Post" in the archives.)

Leviathan is "worshipped in human, fish, and turtle form".

Some personal notes:

-This is the first I've heard of Iedolas Aldercapt being infected with the Starscourge decades before the game. I haven't been able to find any other sources to support this (whether from in-game loading screens or archive entries, translations of the FFXV Ultimania or JP Official Works, etc.). If anyone has come across such evidence, I'd be happy to hear about it.

-re: Pryna's profile: I wonder if the Japanese word they (this third party translation team) translated as "servant" is the same one that SQEX NA localised as "Messenger"? We know from the lore there are 24 Messengers, so it wouldn't be surprising if certain Messengers act on behalf of - or in service to - specific gods.

-The Oracle's sealing technique actually has a name. In this book they translated it as "the cage of the Oracle", but I wonder what name the EN FFXV localisation team would've given it.

-The thing about Leviathan's different depictions is alluded to in-game - under the "Altissia" archive entry - but it's not as specific as the book.

-The Meldacio Hunters' history is also mentioned in-game (under "Meldacio Hunter HQ" in the archives), but the book says "the military created the Meldacio Hunters and the hunter system" while the game states the Hunters arose from "a band of Insomnian refugees". A little inconsistency that no one would really care about lol.

-The descriptions for Shiva and Ifrit are kinda amusing. You'd think they'd talk about her being all blue or him having big horns, but nah let's go with generic af descriptions :)

-I included the Vyv tidbit because the way they phrased it makes it sound shady haha.

P.S. I provided screenshots I took of the relevant archive entries (under Datalog > Almanac) for anyone interested:
