Cloud got closure to his story, getting over his self-blame about Aerith; the end of Geostigma and Sephiroth's defeat also potentially/presumably spelled the end of Jenova and Sephiroth for good. There's also stuff like Rufus becoming a planet-friendly philanthropist, too, though that's a little vague.
But ultimately, AC is about Cloud's journey coming to a close so he can finally move on with life.
Or so I think.
