It's true that Noctis hasn't really grown any taller. He has certainly grown stronger, though, and his muscles more well-defined. His hair's longer, although he still combs it about as much as he used to - which is to say, never. Probably the most different thing about him now, though, is his eyes. They're the same color they always were, but the ocean blue of them seems to reach much further into the depths.
