sad endings
so i was just wondering..
who else is a fan of sad endings? i'm a big fan of sad endings. such as final fantasy X. i like the feeling of that uncomfiness after a sad ending. its just more emotional and leaves you wanting more. yet i hate sequals. sequels just ruin the story of the the original. look at X-2.
to me, there is no such thing as a happy ending. because whether the ending is "happily ever after" or painful....endings never make me happy.
endings always need to have some sort of sadness. FF8 has possibly my favourite ending. it is emotional and just a brilliant ending. endings where everything is sad and gloomy aren't usually good. if its a good combination of good and bad, i guess thats perfect. happy endings are usually as boring as hell.

You know, the ending for X didn't really get to me until after I finished X-2. O_o'
Maybe it wasn't so much the fact that they wouldn't be together, so much as it was the fact that Yuna was about to die and be replaced by a pop star.
I like how VIII's had alot of both in it. It was real happy with the dinner party at Garden and you see everyone there, even Matron, and they're all having a good time.
At the same time, before that is Laguna visiting Raine's grave and it says Raine Loire, that was possibly the saddest part of the FF series. VIII overall was a really emotionally-based game.
Well said, completely agree.I like how VIII's had alot of both in it. It was real happy with the dinner party at Garden and you see everyone there, even Matron, and they're all having a good time.

i just love scenes with tons of emotions. like aerisses death. the part where black waltz 3 murders all of those black mages, most of the ending sequences. they are just so great. FF has loads of amazing scenes. the only scene that has actually brought a tear to my eye was the FF8 ending sequence. im not the type to cry over scenes though and it was only a tear but there are some really emotional asnd touching scenes.
usually scenes with some sort of sadness have a big effect.

FFVIII ending wasnt really sad to me. throughout the whole game..we knew that raine was dead. its not like at the end i was like "what?!?!...raines dead??...thats sooo sadd!"..it was just whatever. the main characters were all happy in the end and most importanly, squall and rinoa both had happy endings. FFX was like...irony. since halfway through the game we think (SPOILER)yuna is the one that will die, but instead...it was tidus(not die..but disappear from the world). and in the end, neither one of them was completly happy. the sad part was at the end, yuna was whistling by the sea thinking tidus will come for her which takes you back to the promise they made in the beginning of the game.
Hate SAD ENDING! Unsastified (Correct Spelling?).
Because..........................................................I always cry when sad ending was played......:kaocry2:
Therefore, Final Fantasy IX have the best ending....................................................................for me. It's perfect and everyone lived happily, eventhough, Vivi died.

Preferably both. VIII has most of these elements in one whole pack. So is X btw......
First you thought Squall died, and then you see Rinoa's happy face and "YES! SQUALL DIDN'T DIE!!" then Laguna visits raine's grave and at the flashback, I cried. Laguna's proposal was the best part of the ending. Seifer's part was damn hilarious, which add some lukewarm feeling to it.
*SPOILERS!!!*
It really depends on the game and how well the ending is made. Happy endings can work very well, like in FFVII AC and FFIX, but sad endings can be great too, like in KH and FFX.

Final Fantasy Six. I was just so sad the game was over. I cried. Hard. Like a good hard cry where I was gripping my pillow and hugging life into it. I fell into a corner and carved SIX in my arm repeatedly mutter catinations like "it's not over", and "Kefka lives". It truley smurfed me up
Then you realize Squall never actually died, but that's not the point.Originally Posted by Twilight Edge
Give me a sad ending and it's probably going to make me like the game a bit more. I loved FFX's ending, because it left me with so many questions about why everyone did what they did, and why things had to happen that happened. It made me go deeper into the game, realize how Yuna really felt about Tidus, what Tidus really was meant for, and how they could somehow end up being together again...maybe.
A cool and happy ending is good at times too. FFIX ended on a high note as did FFVII in a way, so a good mix of endings is always a positive and keeps it from getting repetitive and boring.

A sad ending makes a game so much more interesting and believable.
They're rare though. But yeah, I like sad endings.
Maybe an ending with a PERMENANT death would be nice....like Vaan died of metrosexuality or something...
