That was, without a doubt, the darkest ending in the entire franchise. It's like the game remembered what happened in the first few hours of the game at the very end and just hit you with a sledgehammer to the heart. Three of my favorite characters died (or, maybe two? We'll have to see, but I'm pretty sure that Clive's dead), the land will be cosigned to a slow death with the spread of the Blight, and even if the Hideaway succeeds in making blighted land farmable, many will still die from starvation getting to that point. Oh, and the Akahasic are atill wandering around, no?
Ultima was correct in the end where he essentially laughed at Clive for winning. "Yeah, you won. But what's your prize?" essentially telling him to enjoy the slow death of his species. I know that there are two DLC planned that I hope expand the story. There's some headcanon in the subreddit that Medicine Girl is going to formulate Soft to cure branded from the curse (and maybe save Clive), and that she'll end up being the dominant of Leviathan, but that's just wishful thinking on the community's part, I think. I still see only a glimmer of hope at the end, while everything else is pretty damned bleak. A part of me is hoping for a XVI-2 as well, but I want to see how the DLC go first. --- This rant was brought to you by your local random thinker.

I loved it, the ending made me tear up a bunch. It's a sad ending but one absolutely filled with hope. I thought it was perfect. I think you are reading far too much into the blight, as it was clear that the land was saved from the removal of magic. That post credit scene showed as much.

I didn't see that. I saw that the Blight was still spreading unabated and there was nothing to be done. I think even Ultima said the same?

Figured a topic about beating the game would allude to a discussion on it, but I can see how that might not be the case. I've gone and edited my posts with tags. --- http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u223/chocolateFRESH/arts/kraid.png - Thanks GP cosmonaut! http://i.imgur.com/TuJWAR8.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

So are we just not using spoiler tags anymore or what's going on. Whoops. MJOLNRVII posted... I saw it as the land was "saved" because the people at the Hideaway figured out how to grow stuff and do other things(like heating up the forges w/o magic) in a blighted land with no assistance from magic. Ultima was right about the land going to shit, but humanity survived anyway. As I took it: far as I know they've only grown shitty apples and drinkable water. A huge first step, but they got a long way to go to growing other things that sustain civilization, like wheat, barley, and rice. Kaldrenthebold posted...
...I missed that. I comitted the cardinal sin of closing the game after the credits rolled. Looks like I gotta fight the last battle again. --- This rant was brought to you by your local random thinker. I'm as Canadian as Wayne Gretzky crashing a snowmobile into a moose. - JIC X ...

No need: Thank you, I'll watch this on my next break. I also learned by browsing that there's a Final Fantasy mode after this, which explains where the last 2 trophies are locked behind, is my guess. So looks like I got to beat it again to get the clear data saved. --- This rant was brought to you by your local random thinker.

Thank you, I'll watch this on my next break. Thankfully it IS sans commentary, they just say "oh there's more!" so you should be good to go. It's like a two minute thing but really puts the ending in perspective. And yeah it has a NG+ mode with new weapons to get and harder enemies. Seems fun, I'll definitely check it out when the DLC comes out. --- http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u223/chocolateFRESH/arts/kraid.png - Thanks GP cosmonaut! http://i.imgur.com/TuJWAR8.jpg ...

Man that final fight was so fucking good. That and Bahamut were just such highlights for me. Seaman_Prime posted...
The thing about the ending is it's so vague and there's sprinkles throughout that can point to any number of endings. --- http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u223/chocolateFRESH/arts/kraid.png - Thanks GP cosmonaut! http://i.imgur.com/TuJWAR8.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!
