    Oh wow, how did I not include FFXIII as the ultimate bad ending? My god that was terrible. Fast, incoherent, and vomit-inducingly cheesy.

    Persona 3's True ending had me in tears. (SPOILER)You're a kid in the prime of your life, whose personality you've created. You just sacrificed yourself to save your world and no one will ever know it. Transferring your humanity to Aigis as she cries and declares her (platonic) love to you, finally assuming a true soul was amazing. The art and music along with the stellar voice acting is amazing. Your character was a true hero. He/she felt like you and was who you wanted him/her to be. To die such a death yet make it seem so peaceful, so comforting was gorgeous and gives me the chills to this day. You feel accomplished. Not just by beating a game, but by saving a world the game made you so desperately love. There's sadness, but there's also hope and satisfaction. Comfort and resolution. Pride and passion. All are present in an ending that's equally powerful, tear-jerking, and positive.

    The Force Unleashed 2 had not only one, but two awful endings. (SPOILER)If you choose to spare Vader (which btw that entire end duel was a pile of horse. Vader was already overpowered and damn near immune to every force power in your arsenal, but those smurfing clones were an added bull!) you imprison him and you never get to find out if you're the real Starkiller or just a clone. If you decide to kill Vader another Starkiller clone appears from nowhere and kills you and everyone else. That's exactly what I smurfing want when I turn to the Dark Side.

    Prince of Persia 2008's ending bothered me. I have yet to play the expansion though.

    Fable III's ending was retarded

    BioShock 2. (SPOILER)I honestly have no idea what even happened. Did he not survive the trip? The fact that there was no final boss fight with Lamb made this ending .

    I really liked FFX's ending. It was pretty emotional despite me not liking Tidus vary much.

    Kingdom Hearts is another one I really enjoyed.

    FFVII's ending gets me every time, and I find it undiluted by the sequels. In my mind, the '500 years later' sequence was never meant to imply that (SPOILER)humanity had perished. Rather, I find it somehow heartwarming and bittersweet. Half a millennium's passed; Cloud and the others are all long since gone, yet Nanaki's still passing on to his children the tale of his long-dead friends and how they gave their all so that the world could live. The heroes get remembered for what they achieved, and that's just swell to me.

    MGS3 is another worthy ending. (SPOILER)Naked Snake/Big Boss gets used, abused and basically shat on by the principles he's been fighting so hard to protect - it makes it understandable just why and how he'd go on to become an enemy to most of the world.

    MGS4 ended on an odd mixture of catharsis, over-the-top revelations and truly rampant tying-up of loose ends. I'd probably lump it somewhere in the 'WTF' category.

    FFXIV Character

    FFVIII: I really enjoyed this ending purely because it showed how things turned out, something which very few games do these days. They just jump straight to "oh and that's the end of the events so we have no need to tell you what happens with all the characters now." In FFVIII, they effectively told us what we wanted to know.

    FFXII: I don't like the game's story much so it's hard to like the ending, but I still appreciate that they did something similar to FFVIII in that they, in some way or another, offered us an 'epilogue'.

    FFVII: Just a mention for this as I don't actually rate the ending as a 'best' (it was okay, mind you), but the idea that humans were evil and therefore would be wiped off the face of the planet was always a load of crap for me. The faces of the people they were showing more than any others were those of the good people who were fighting for the planet, so it would not have made sense. Likewise, it would also mean that the bad guy, despite being 'beaten' by Cloud, would also have achieved his intended goal of having meteor hit the planet, which would also be silly. I always knew the people survived, but I always believed it was just a case of Meteor destroying Midgar (and probably any other Mako factory/plant/whatever). So, basically, I agree with Big D. xD

    I honestly can't think of that many endings of non-FF games right now. Uncharted games, I suppose. They were okay. Uhm. Man, I'm really drawing a blank. xD

    I really hated the ending to FFX, though that could be because the entire game was trash.

    FFVII's ending was good and bad, but mostly bad. It lacked actual substance and that annoyed me. Especially after fighting Sephiroth for an hour, 50 minutes of which were spent watching his stupid ultimate attack animation.

    I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for Suikoden 2's "best ending."

    Got another one:

    Ace Combat Zero. (SPOILER)Over the course of this game your first wingman and 'buddy' defects to another party and in the end he tries to 'reset' the planet using a giant nuke.

    In the final mission he shoots down your second wingman and ofcourse, this leads to a very epic final dogfight. Awesome stuff.

    FFXII because I felt it left a lot of issues that were supposed to be important unresolved.

    FFX-2 normal because it was sooo predictable. The good and perfect endings too because they had so little yuna + tidus time. I played that entire awfully cheesy game to see that and get just a minute of it ??

    Xenosaga because it got too weird.

    Good Ending:

    Metal Gear Solid 3

    Watching Big Boss shed a tear for The Boss' in the graveyard was a very powerful ending. I swear I was almost in tears the first time I saw it.

    Red Dead Redemption

    (SPOILER)When John Marston died in a hale of gun fire I was honestly shocked right to my core. Never saw it coming. Thought I failed the mission first time I saw it. Edit: Sorry if I spoiled the ending earlier

    Bad Ending:

    Final Fantasy XII

    I put over 400 hours into this game over 2 save files and the ending really pi$$ed me off! I got so invested in this game I felt the end was just so rushed & I almost felt robbed of an awesome ending I thought I was gonna get.

    Final Fantasy VII

    Yeah I said it! Sephiroth is defeated, Meteor hits & the Lifestream attacks it & makes it look like the planet they fought to save was smurfed anyway. If Advent Children had never been made this ending would of pissed me even more. If the actual game wasn't so awesome I would elevate this to a mediocre ending.


    WTF Ending:

    Metal Gear Solid 2

    If you've ever played this game I don't need to tell you why lol

    Dude, Shattered Dreamer, spoiler your RDR ending. That game's only like a year old, and now I'm kinda sad that I know the ending already

    Bad ending: the 1st Breath of Fire. I mean, really? The entire thing is basically Ryu saying, "We won! Let's rebuild our world..."

    Edit: This is the reason I will never play the game again. I love the gameplay and story, but the end was just that bad.

    Moomba

    Braid

    (SPOILER)When you find out that you're not the one trying to save the princess, but instead you're the creepy stalker guy scaring the girl. It was the biggest plot twist all year!
