Worse still, the "fake-out" with Sazh. I call it that because I don't think anyone was fooled by it. Had it actually gone through and occurred, it would have been a momentous occasion, and very deep and moving for a lot of people. But Square no longer has the guts to do something like that, and the entire scene just falls apart.

FFXIII-2: The ending itself is a joke.
I think the secret ending was even worse. Great job guys, you just ruined any depth or meaning you had given to Caius's character. Not to mention the obvious question: If a mortal survived it, how can it be enough to kill a god?
