Oh, and I like FF13's a fair deal but it's tarnished by how much of a mess the scenes between the final battle stages are
Well now we're seeing a bit of an issue here in that I wouldn't consider that part of the ending! In general, "the ending" to me is everything after the player stops controlling things (minus oddities like I Wanna Be The Guy and it's final apple at the end of the credits), so stuff like the FFXIII events between each of the final three boss fights don't count in my mind, and it also means the pre-battle Jecht/Tidus stuff in FFX doesn't count, which certainly lowers that game a fair bit since that part is very good.

Mistake you're making - overlooking the fact that we might not want to be saved.
