I thought this would be an interesting topic to post about ...So with all of the Shakespearean references in this game like "There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so..." and etc... I've heard that some people are calling Noctis a tragic hero. Shakespeare had quite a few tragic heros that he wrote about: Macbeth, Othello, Hamlet, and Romeo to name a few.
If you think of what a "tragic hero" really is we see this person is/has these qualities:
Usually of noble birth
# Hamartia - a.k.a. the tragic flaw that eventually leads to his downfall.
# Peripeteia - a reversal of fortune brought about by the hero's tragic flaw
# His actions result in an increase of self- awareness and self-knowledge
# The audience must feel pity and fear for this character.

So if he really is going to be a tragic hero...what do you think his flaw/s downfall is going to be?
I see pride as an obvious one...in the new trailer we see he is so sure of his new powers he has his friend (Ignis I believe) telling him "He isn't that strong....yet."
...and possibly love being another. I see him falling for Stella and her possibly betraying him...
Thoughts?
