I like the mixed bag. Either a fake sad ending followed by a surprise. Or a real sad ending followed by a satisfactory epilogue that warps things up. No cliffhangers please. Sad or happy, things need to be wrapped up. Though I don't mind Golden Sun's "To be continued..." thing since I grabbed up the sequal right away. I don't like endings like in FF7 where it was left up to interpretation and a lot of people's interpretation turned out to be wrong so you wonder why the heck they even did that. Granted they didn't know 8 years ago that they'd be following it up but still...
