    Default Most Satisfying Ending

    Just wanted to get a poll going. I want to know which ending of a FF is most satisfying to you, on the basis of awesomeness and clarity for what happened. I played through every FF ending last night to get a fresh view on things. My money has to be on Tactics or X. The most unfulfilling were V and VI.

    I'm unsure. I haven't finished all of them, but I can't say I was completely satisfied with any of the endings I have seen. I was sad to see their journey over, and there were, on occasion, points that weren't covered completely that I would have liked to see wrapped up at the end.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    I thought V was pretty fulfilling. The world was saved and Butz and Faris went off to have more sexy pirate adventures.

    Great, now I have to go through and watch all the endings again because I don't remember most of them. My favorite endings are FFVII and FFT, but that is because they left a lot of stuff that was subject to interpretation and made you think about it. Don't know if that can qualify as satisfying though.

    Of the ones I've played, my favourite is FFIX's.

    (SPOILER)I thought the Zidane and Garnet reunion was particularly satisfying. And although Vivi's death brought a tear to my eye, it nevertheless felt like he had conquered death and come to terms with it in his final speech. His children were too fun as well.

But on this January night, at this defining moment in history, you have done what the cynics said we couldn't do." - Barack Obama.

    I agree that IX has the most satisfying ending. If we're including the bit where (SPOILER)Zidane tries to save Kuja, I think it makes for a nice 'makes your heart flutter' wrap up of the story.

    FFX for me. It wrapped up the story good and it gave us a nice mystery flash after the credits. Of course the mystery was completely ruined with FFX-2 because Square-Enix sucks balls. Same for FF7, which had a somewhat less good ending because the story kind of died down at the third disc. The "500 years later" part went pretty good with the theme of the story though.
    This twenty-year-old boy was distinguished from childhood by strange qualities, a dreamer and an eccentric. A girl fell in love with him, and he went and sold her to a brothel...

    How was VI unfulfilling? I actually found it to be one of the most satisfying. Most of the loose threads with the characters were tied up and it ended on a hopeful note which was kind of nice given how little hope there is for much of the second half.

    FFVII! Its ending brings Aerith back in a way, and that makes me happy! Plus, I love the music.

    I liked the endings VII to X. If it makes me cry its a god ending, but X was the best. I would have said VII but X had the saddest ending. IX comes in after because im a sucker for a romantic happy ending and i thought that was just sweet. Also the matrix monkey just makes me lol. x

    I'd have to say VI, brilliant music and every character tended to.

    VIII, if only because it shows the aftermath, something which most FF games don't do. I mean, the plot itself for me made little sense, but the ending was worth it - seeing the Garden float past all the random peoples, seeing the celebrations going on the 'home video', that sort of thing made it very satisfying for me.

    FFIV, considering the story was much deeper than the previous three (especially when it came to the characters) and the fact that everyone's endings were rather happy (except for Kain's, but he chose to not return to Baron, so he potentially could've had a happy ending but he didn't want one until he considered himself worthy).
