Did you cry?

[Xear]

I literally exclaimed "That ending sucked!" after sitting through it. Such a boring, anticlimatic ending.

Anticlimatic! Anticlimatic? Anticlimatic!?

"You were an asshole Kuja, but after seeing what you did, I've suddenly developed emotions. Don't ask how, because I'm a genome, and genomes were suddenly established at the end of disc 3 as some kinda freaky drone race."

"I am making a speech about cooking and showing that, as the comic relief character, I haven't changed at all!"

"I love you Freya, even though I don't have the faintest frickin' clue who you are."
"Oh Fratley, even though you totally abandoned me and forgot my name, identity and even my love, I'm just glad to have you back."

"Hello Lani. I am walking to a play. Do you want to walk behind me?"
"Yeah okay."

"Calm down Eiko, my airship is very fast!"
"I'm going to address you as father in a poorly established twist."
"Darling, that's so sweet!"

"I'm not Vivi, I'm his son, meaning he can apparently propagate."
"Wow, really? That's even crazier than me being a poorly spoken prince!"

"I am leaving my post as the supreme Alexandrian commanding officer for no particular reason."
"No, stay! I will be your boyfriend, even though I must be at least fifteen years older than you!"
"Score!"

"I am Vivi, these are my vaguely established last words."

"The play is about to start. Fortunately, you can't see me from above this time, as the animation of my dress makes me look kinda like a centauric take on Jabba The Hutt... hey, maybe Zidane woulda called me Dagger The Hutt! Teehee!"

"Lo, for I am Marcus, making a cheesy oblique reference to FF7/8! Lo, for I am not really Marcus! I am the great thief Zidane in a cunning disguise! If this game had a fully spoken script it would've been way too obvious of course."
"Ho noes! Time to run down to the stage in a thirty-second FMV! I'm gonna allude to being in love with you now."
"Calm down Dagger, it's time for the ultimate cop-out ending: A clip show of all the previous FMVs."
"What? The actual ending itself only had about three minutes' worth of FMV! Everything else was in the realtime graphics and totally boring to watch! What the smurf do they think this is, an American serial drama?!"
"Yeah, it was kinda random, like FF4's ending but less cheerful because we had to listen to you sing all the way through it. By the way, how did you learn all the lyrics when you were still like only two years old?"
"Bugger if I know, that makes about as much sense as Necron's appearance."

FF9's ending was an utter disaster, like a beautiful train that suddenly went off the rails and down a cliff, colliding with a bomb factory. Mortal Kombat Armageddon has better character endings than this... in fact, after thinking about FF9's ending, I'm starting to like the idea of Li Mei trapping Shang Tsung and Quan Chi in an obelisk where they must fend off "wave after wave of aggressors for eternity".

I couldnt agree more, After the Ending in ff7 anf ff8, this was a major let down. It was nice they tried to tie up all the characters storys. But they did it with in game graphics not FMV. As Psi noted some of the tie ups did not make any sence.... I mean who did Vivi 1 have sex with or did he just find a way to "magicly" asexually repoduce many times?

The only part of the ending that was in video form was dagger seeing zidane getting stuck at a door , showing Beatrix and Stiener stoping her smiling leting her through her hugging him , crying then hitting him, and then everyone cheers.

Yes they tieed it up nicly but the ending was presented rather poorly compaired to Final fantasy 8, and the ending was rushed.

Dont get me wrong I know it was the end for all traditonal FF games. But they could of put more effort into the ending. It just seems that after killing Trance Kuja the game staff gave up and thought 'oh lets throw a boss at makes no sense... and then just to piss the fans off more we wont give them a ending full of eye candy or that makes much of a point that will make them happy'.
