BIG SPOILER ALERT: ASOBO I HATE YOU

[Em]

So if u aren't done playing the game yet this post isn't for you. I have literally just finished it (like 20 minutes ago) and I have to get this off my chest.
ASOBO I HATE U SO MUCH!! I'm heartrended!! After having played the first game and loved these guys and their story to bits, after having waited and craved the second game, when I finally got it I played hoping for some kind of miracle until the very last second... but nothing! You most certainly know how to break a heart, devs, I'll give u that! The story is as amazing as unforgiving, I can feel each one of Amicia's scars and her anger. It's the first I feel so thoroughly defeated after beating a game. And for that I am grateful. But I will never forgive u. Unless u release the most incredible 3rd chapter with the most amazing story of redemption that history has ever seen!
The signs are there, Asobo, so do it and do it quick, 'cause we've suffered enough. You owe us that miracle!!!

The ending is perfect in my eyes. 1000 times better than the obvious "We gonna live peacefully in our house in the mountains."

Even that amicia goes on trying to find the next ones makes sense.

Agreed, the story IS perfect, I was only trying to use self-irony to mend my broken heart XD

Although... it does feel like the story has still something to tell...

The ending is fine. Hugo caused so much death and destruction he had to die really. He is the main villain of the whole story.

Yeah thought that at some point... They knew Hugo is the main reason, but noone is gonna touching him.

But on the other side... what would´ve you done? Away from the "brother / sister" thing. Noone could be sure that it ends, if Hugo dies. Also it was not Hugo itself, it was the Macula trying to use Hugos bad and sad feelings to take more and more control out of him. It´s like how Anakin became Darth Vader lol.
As they´ve said... while traveling nothing ever happened because Hugo was happy. And if we look back, away from the questionable dog-kill in Innocent, the rats came out when the Inquisition destroyed the De Rune Castle and Hugo was probably the first time really sad and feared.

Imagine Amicia would´ve way earlier contact to him. Imagine Vitalis wouldn´t have come...

He is not really a villain. Hugo is just a young child, who has a power which others want to take control of. Amicia uses him to take revenge for her mother's death. In fact Hugo is a victim.He did not choose to become a carrier.

And i am not sure that he is dead. I assume that only his body is dead but his mind is still living somehow in the macula or in the nebula.

Of course he is a villain, he killed probably hundreds of thousands of people. Think about it from the POV of pretty much anyone else in the world and the impact he has upon it. Not that he is unsympathetic as we understand why he ended up doing what he did. The morally grey aspect of the story is one i very much enjoy.

You could argue that Amecia and her mother are worse because they essentially control him and force him to go to places where they know he will put the whole population in danger.

I’ve read a nice share of comments complaining about the absence of a true villain such as Vitalis in the first chapter. Imo Requiem is well beyond the problem villains vs heroes. It shows a world incapable of seeing the precarious balance of beauty and innocence, a world that acts as if all the bad things (the bite) could be hidden and locked up so that war, violence and struggles for power may continue as before. Requiem seems to offer a simple question: what if a child had the power to judge this world? Hugo is only 5. He had two long chapters to respond to this question and the world did a precious little nothing to help him not to loose himself in all that brutality. So yes, there are no villains, no heroes in this story, because all the world is called to answer the question, what did I do to avoid this mess? And that’s what makes of Requiem one of the best stories I’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing in the last few years.

Perfect ending for an annoying little brat - the authors did their best to make Hugo as unlikable as the plague itself. Great work, great ending, right between the eye.

Players: Looking for story video game to escape from life's reality.
Devs: Did you drop your life's reality, here it is!

I really liked the ending personally. She cant accept her brother is dying and no matter what wants to try to stop it. Even hugo knows where this is going and she still persists. In a way its very true to life. Sometimes someone gets sick or is just dying of old age and we want them to get better and will do anything, even if the reality of the situation is that it cant be stopped. You see this a lot with people who are losing a parent and eventually it seems the preservation of their parent is more about the fear of being a lone then about keeping them alive.

Yes, one of the saddest Endings in recent History
with "The Walking Dead Season 1" and "Life is Strange"

The saddest ending of all time is maybe Final Fantasy X or Terranigma
for me but they are older Games so i wrote recently.
