Shadow Redux (spoilers)

[TheAbominatrix]

People have hacked the roms of this game and found no extra endings. If you've found an extra ending, please check your beverages to make sure no one's dropped an LSD tab in there.

There is no extra ending. It's a rumor. There are only five dreams. There are, however, seven 'dream sequences' in the game. Five are Shadow's. If I remember right, one is Relm's, the other is Cyan's.

Shadow is not a girl. Gau explains the point there. If you have seen all of the dreams, you may have been confused when the girl walks out of the house to help Clyde (aka Shadow, the game only THROWS that in your face plenty of times) and then 'Shadow' (dressed as his sprite is, and not as the Clyde sprite is) walks out of the house later. Presumably he left when Relm's mother (his wife or lover, he had to have done her at least once) died, or perhaps only after he'd had sex with her. That's up for grabs, but it's probably the former since Interceptor is cool with Relm.

Can someone change the title to include a spoiler warning, just in case?
