bad news: Noct doesn't actually use ぶす ("ugly") in the Japanese dialogue of the opening scene of Episode Gladiolus. good news: it comes down to the same thing (in a way).

ノクティス：さらにガラが悪くなったよな

Spelldaggers, the project that translated the game directly from the Japanese version, translated it as: Noctis: And it makes you ugly.

if *I* were to translate it, it'd be: Noctis: You look even more like a thug now.

which is (unfortunately) closer to the English version's "Worse than looking like some kind of thug?", but let me explain.

the exact phrase Noct uses here is ガラが悪い (literally "[a] bad type [of person]"), which is often used to describe delinquents and people with no good manners. and these kinds of people are often depicted as ugly.

have you seen Kiryu from the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series? i'd describe him (based on his literally being in the yakuza) as ガラが悪い... he ain't ugly though. but i digress.

in any case, this is just a case of light banter between Noct and Gladio, so i wouldn't read into it too deeply.

RWBY x FFXV: Last Request

Sequel to:

It had been a week since the Battle of Haven and Noctis, Jaune, Sun and Ren were gathered together in the house. Weiss and Neptune were out on a date, which left the boys together with Ruby, Yang, Blake and Nora. All four of them were engrossed in the game, Remnant. Jaune chuckled, amused.

Noctis: Hm? What's up, Jaune?

Jaune: Nothing. I'm just watching the chaos unfold between the girls. It's kinda cute.

Yang: Ha! I win again!

Nora: No way! You totally cheated!

Ren: ...you have a very weird defition of 'cute'.

Sun: Aw lay off, Ren. He's just lovestruck.

Jaune: *chuckles* You're not wrong. Seeing them over there reminds me of what we're fighting for; peace on Remnant. *turns to the boys* But the Battle in Haven got me thinking. Before we take on Salem, is there anything you'd like to do one last time with the girls?

Sun: Umm... well, I haven't really thought of it.

Ren: Me neither. I've been so focused preparing for Haven that I didn't even consider what would come after that.

Jaune: What about you, Noct?

Noctis: *turns to Ruby and sighs* 🎵Slow down, lie down. Remember it's just you and me.🎵

Jaune: 🎵Don't sell out, bow out. Remember how this used to be.🎵

Sun: 🎵I just want you closer, is that alright?🎵

Ren: 🎵Baby let's get closer, tonight.🎵

Jaune/Noctis: 🎵Grant my last request and just let me hold you! Don't shrug your shoulders, lay down beside me!🎵

Sun/Ren: 🎵Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere! But one last time let's go there, lay down beside me, oh!🎵

Sun: 🎵And I've found that I'm bound to wander down that one-way road, oh.🎵

Ren: 🎵And I realized all about your lies. But I'm no wiser than the fool that I was before🎵

Noctis: 🎵I just want you closer, is that alright?🎵

Jaune: 🎵Baby let's get closer, tonight🎵

Jaune/Sun: 🎵Grant my last request and just let me hold you! Don't shrug your shoulders, lay down beside me!🎵

Noctis/Ren: 🎵And sure I can accept that we're going nowhere! But one last time let's go there, ooh, lay down beside me, oh!🎵

Noctis/Jaune: 🎵Baby, baby, baby🎵

Sun/Ren: 🎵Tell me how can, how can this be wrong?🎵

Noctis: 🎵Grant my last request and just let me hold you🎵

Jaune: 🎵Don't shrug your shoulders, lay down beside me🎵

Sun: 🎵Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere🎵

Ren: 🎵But one last time let's go there, lay down beside me🎵

Noctis/Jaune/Sun/Ren: 🎵Grant my last request and just let me hold you! Don't shrug your shoulders, lay down beside me! And sure I can accept that we're going nowhere But one last time let's go there, lay down beside me!🎵

Noctis: 🎵Oh, woah-oh! Yeah, lay down beside... One last time let's go there, lay down beside me.🎵 *deep breath* I think that's what I'd like to do. Just hold Ruby in my arms.

Sun: *sniffs* That's beautiful, man!

Jaune: Mmhmm!

Ren: *ahem* So, uh, now that we got that out of our system, why don't we head down to the White Kitsune for some drinks?

Noctis: Sounds like a great idea. Come on, first round's on me!

Jaune/Sun: Yeah!

As the boys left, the girls were left with bright red blushes and their cards lay on the table forgotten.

Yang: *hands over her mouth* ...did that really just happen?

Nora: *slowly nods head* ...uh huh.

Blake: ...*smiling slightly* wow.

Ruby: ... *whispers* you're wonderful, Noct.

No but you are absolutely right about how Lunafreya and Jill (haven't played FFXVI yet but still) are supposed to be narratively important but?? Don't really do much on screen? Or anything? They're just kinda there and it's sad because their potential is astronomical! And we know that FF is capable of making fully rounded female characters because just look at the previous games. Kinda sad to see that undermining the females in favor of the males is becoming a trend now.

RIGHT the fact that we KNOW square has made female characters with amazing character arcs before makes it so much more disappointing when they just?? willingly choose not to??? its bizarre

at least nowadays they have the courtesy to come up with some flimsy excuse as for why a female character has to be benched so i guess theres that lmao

Razum-dar: Detective, this is a crime scene.

Veya, grabbing ice cream from the victim’s fridge: What, is this the murder weapon? Get off my dick!

[nwleon]

Chip: A girl is interested in me and I'm not going to ignore it!

Rebecca: Chip, I want you.

Chip: You want me to what?

Rebecca: I-um-uh

Chip: Already forgot? Don't worry happens to me all the time

(Chip leaves)

[madeimpact]

(ardynzunia, Arctus) “Hey Noctis, do you want to go somewhere, just us?”

Summer Sunset starters || @ardynzunia

Leave it to Arctus to catch on when the crowds are getting to be too much. Seeing so many tourists in one place when the Crown City was normally so insular — it was a welcome change, until it got to be overstimulating.

❝ Yeah, wouldn't mind slipping away for a bit. Got anywhere in mind? ❞
