Which Final Fantasy game did you think had the best ending? Mine's was FFX's (I thought X-2's was okay considering the rest of the game) but thats because its one of the four FF games i actually beat.
Twelve was a pretty good one. Wrapped everything up nicely, redid the letter thing from five, and let you know what the charecters where up to after the events of the story without the crappy animal house thing. | |||
FFXII's ending sucked. That J-Pop song ruined it. I was hoping that Vayne and the Empire would win so that there could be a FFXII-2. But alas, that didn't happen and instead we have Revenant Wings... Anyway, the best ending is FFT. Ramza and his entire party are destroyed by Ultima when she blows up the Airship. Then Delita gets his end. Perfect ending. | |||
I like FFXII's ending, bar the Vaan part, but Basch in armor, Balthier and Fran alive and Ashe as queen are great moments. I dont remember any J-Pop... Still, the best endings are FFVI's and FFVII, becuse they saved the world, but it's with a cost: FFVI's magic and FFVII Lifestream. | |||
There's no cost in VII, the lifestream simply appears, save everyone and goes away. Ok, Sephy falls in it but that's all. And "kiss me goodbye", the J-pop song that plays in XII ending, is not bad in itself, but ruined the scene because there is no relation between it and the "happy ending" that's in XII. I like X's ending, but i didn't beat many games, so i'll tell you my final point in some months or so. Dissidia's ending looks good too. | |||

I thought IV's ending was pretty good. The "salute to the sky" thing was funny, but I thought they were breaking the fourth wall. | |||
Krystal Tomlin - "When prayers turn to promises, not even fate can stand in our way." TALK - Let Steve Burton voice Cloud in Dissidia...OR ELSE!!! - "Wouldn't wanna be you!" | |||
I know Advent Children is not a game, but it has the best ending, with children playing around and Cloud smiling. | |||
Agreed, AC'ending is touching. So is X-2, BTW (had forgotten it) | |||
I'll agree with that, AC and FFX-2 endings were very well done. | |||
X had the best ending, great and emotional. Before anyone asks yes I cried. SHUT UP! | |||
Dont feel bad, the first time I saw the ending of FFX I cried to. | |||

Amen, Silver. I think it was the first time I sobbed during a video game. <_< I liked Advent Children and IX's ending too, but the English version of Melodies of Life sucked. | |||

Oh my gosh, I forgot about Crisis Core!!! I looked at the ending (I don't even have the game...) and I cried that night. Advent Children's and Dirge of Cerberus's endings were the best. For me, at least. Except for Shelke, I hate her. But I think the most touching ending was Tactics Advance. | |||
FFX and X-2's (perfect) ending's were some of the best. As well as Crisis Core's. Well, they were probably the saddest. | |||

I donno. VII's was laughable, without voices, it just didn't seem right. Did it have music? If it didn't it sucked even more. VIII's was meh.
Saw IV's today. Reading about the After- and then watching the links; I liked. But it was still rather meh.
FF is full of meh. I don't know how people can cry at the *SPOILERS*Aerith death scene*/SPOILERS*. Especially when the graphics are terrible. Also anything in 2D is very hard to show. The whole Kain loving Rosa thing wasn't obvious to my younger brother who played the majority of it. Tellah's death, as well as everyone else's pretend deaths were funny. They were funny. For the wrong reasons. I laugh. ILHI 18:03, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
My favorite ending would be the one of FF X, it was sad and great, although I like FF X-2 and it's ending I think it kill somehow the feeling in it's prequel. I also like a lot the endings of FF VIII, IX and XII(I too hate the J-pop song). | |||

I liked IX and X's, really touching, as for the older ones, well FFI, really didn't had much of an ending, II, whatever, I hate III, IV a little good, but meh, and with the After, well, bigger meh, V's was kind of depressing for me I don't know why, and VI's... meh. | |||
Hey, six was pretty good for what it was. Remember it was the 16 bit era, they could only do so much. | |||

WHO DARES BLASPHEME THE HOLY XII? and it was not J-pop, it was simply written by some Japanese broad which SE hired, it's the same thing has kingdom hearts. | |||
I think that VII, AC, VIII, IX, X, X-2, and Crisis Core have the best endings. FFVII's ending is just unbelieveable what can I tell ya. Advent Children's makes me cry everytime, thanks to the music, Aerith's pretty face and hey Cloud smiles. FFVIII and FFIX's endings also because of the beautifull J-Pop songs. FFX's ending always makes me cry, just like Crisis Core's, I just can't get enough of them. FFX-2's perfect ending (where Yuna gets Tidus back) plus the extra Zanarkand scene are very emotional, the normal and sad endings aren't bad either. | |||

I have to agree with BlueHighwind. Crisis Core was pretty good too- you die, that's it. Certainly not supposed to be my favorite game, as I consider myself a Seeker... | |||
recap all I said. I've never heard of any J-pop in FFXII, but if it's like the one in KH's ending then it'll be good (even if I dont get what she said). FFVII sucks in my book now I realize the Lifestream's just saves everyone's ass without a cost. FFX's ending is great, but falls miserably because of the sole fact that FFX-2 existed (good endings shoud stay that way, dammit!). All in all, I'm never impressed by Final Fantasy's endings, they are always full of clichéd crap. FFVI and Crisis Core's an exception. you lost something there, not like "Yipee, we saved the world from an evil being with no one getting hurt and we all live happily ever after!!" | |||
Actually, Kiss Me Goodbye that plays at the end of XII is a crappish J-Pop song. Or whatever you want to call that. Nothing worth comparing to Utada Hikaru's great songs, Simple and Clean and Sanctuary (or Hikari and Passion). PS : if you want the lyrics, look on the internet, or ask me in an appropriate place. Not being English native, I considered normal not to understand everything, but... | |||
Final Fantasy IV's ending was the best for me.
NEOGANONDORFF- Just finished ff1 on psp and let's just say it isn't even being considered. Gonna go with crisis core for now, They could've done so much more with ff8's ending though.
I liked Crisis Core's endind, and X-2's perfect ending. | |||

I'm rather fond of IX's ending, Marcus pulling off his cloak to reveal that he's actually Zidane. The monkey-boy sure knows how to make an entrance. I'd really like to do something like that someday. | |||
My personal favourite ending will always be X. Just a great ending if you ask me, and for the record I don't think X-2 ruined it. Second favourite would be Crisis Core, thought that was great too. I love a sad ending! Never played Tactics, but if the airship blows up, it sounds pretty interesting to me. I second the motion of wanting to pull a move similar to Zidane's from the end of IX! Kinda sad that one of the smoothest FF guys has a tail though... | |||
I like FF8's a lot. Especially when Selphie and Irvine record everyone with the camera and Selphie wears his hat. And Eyes on Me!
VII. It's (ignore how gay this sounds for a second) an emotional roller coaster. First you're excited 'cause you beat Sephiroth. Then you're freaking out because Cloud says he's still alive. Then you're excited again. Then Holy's not working & it's the end of the freakin' world. Then the Lifestream pops up out of nowhere, & deflects Meteor. Then Aerith shows up. (I thought she came back to life when I first beat the game. Then again, I was 9 at the time.) Tactics's ending is good, on the opposite side. It's a downer ending because Orran got burned at the stake, and you aren't sure whether or not Ramza survived (although I'm thinking he probably did, but meh), and he was definately forgotten by history & probably left to the wolves when he died. On the other hand, alive or dead, he was reunited with his sister, and Delita got what he deserved at last. Too bad Ovelia had to go crazy & get stabbed in order for him to. AND the Glabados Church stays in power for generations, despite almost handing the world over to Satan herself. | |||
|
FFVII: Aerith dies, Midgar is destroyed, the entire government is gone, most of AVELANCHE had BEEN dead for most of the game, Barret had to get over the fact that his organization killed hundreds of innocent bystanders, Cloud is still obsessed with Aerith, and then later you find out that Sephiroth isn't really dead, & he's unleashed a plague on the world. FFT: There is strong evidence to believe that Ramza survied, and lived the rest of his life in peace, with his sister. He disappeared from public view before, and everyone thought Orlandeu was dead since Fort Bessalat, but he had been walking around with Ramza the whole time. Then you have Delita, who obiously got what was coming to him. Plus, the line Delita utters at the end; "Did you get your end in all of this, Ramza? I did...." sort of supports the karma theory. Don't let the nice little "life goes on" motifs and pretty colors fool you, VII was always a dark game, and at times, not even Dirge outdoes it, in that respect. VII also wasn't as open-ended. Do you have this huge debate as to whether or not everyone died at the end of VII? ...Okay, before Advent Children, those debates did take place, but there was no reason to have them as Meteor, & ONLY Meteor is seen being destroyed by Holy in the final cutscene. | |||

In the final scene, Ramza & Alma show up, & Orran sees them & SAYS they're alive. According to Occam's Razor, they lived. There's some element of doubt, but the simpler, more confirmed explanation is that they did. And like I said, Ramza disappeared from public view for over a year as Ramza Lugria. I really don't think he'll have problems disappearing again, & he & Alma will probably enjoy their new lifestyle. And Delita may have been worshipped, but his wife went crazy, he had to kill her, & she might have killed him. They're making a point that both individuals got theirs in the end, even though that may not be what it seemed on the surface. FFVII: Aerith did not come back. Let me make that clear, first of all. Second of all, the reason fighting against Shinra couldn't be for nothing isn't just because Square "lacks the coldness." It also wouldn't make SENSE. It's a historical pattern that whenever an empire becomes too far-spread, it collapses. The theme of FFVII is life. As such, it is both very positive, and very negative. Afterall, doesn't life have its ups & downs? Judging an ending as "good and realistic," only because it's a downer ending makes absolutely no sense. You may PREFER downer endings, but a downer ending automatically being the most realistic and best way the story could go is a non sequiter. | |||
|
Essentially. As I said, I'm on the "Ramza lived" side of the fence, although I have no idea how. Explosion tore through space, maybe? I just wanted to make the point that FFVII isn't "hero beats the bad guy & gets the girl," it's more like "fucked up douchebag barely gets out of depression in time to beat the bad guy, and waaaaaaaaay too late to save the girl. Also, the bad guy comes back with death clouds of plague." | |||
|
Yeah, really, instead of all these shitty "Tactics Advance" games, why the Hell don't they continue FFT? I'm sure there's plenty more that could be told there, & maybe Orran could get a more interesting part--he was a major character, he really deserved 1 or 2 more battles. Meh. They probably want to keep it open-ended. Bastards. | |||
|
Nerd Note: I'm a member of a dying RP forum. Had to pull one out of my ass, recently. Chose FFT. Called it "The Zodiac Brave Sequel." Occurs after Delita takes over, dealing with him & the church being pissed off at each other. So, while it's a pile of shit, I actually DID come up with a sequal storyline. | |||
|
Oh, no, like I said, it's an RP so the characters of the members who join it are the main characters. It's actually kinda shitastical. One lesson I never seem to fully learn is that FFT just can not be made into a forum RP. Anyway, the basic plot revolved around tensions between Delita & the Church, with one of my characters aiming to free Ivalice from the theocracy, and another one planning to basically get Ivalice to tear itself apart. The Lucavi, as usual, are manipulating things behind the shadows. But, ah, if you'd like to hear more about the RP or the place I put it on, this probably isn't the best location for that particular topic. Not that I wouldn't like to continue trying to indoctrinate people into the place. As I said before, it's sort of dying off. | |||
|
War of the Lions IS a remake. As improved as some of the stuff was, I don't really think we need another one. A sequal would be nice. I think there are plenty of things there that could be used, with our without having the Lucavi return. Unfortunately, I don't think that will ever happen. | |||
