Which ending is better? Age of Order ending or Age of The Stars ending? (No Major Spoilers Please)

[Just Simple]

I'm thinking of doing another playthrough of Elden Ring and don't know which ending to do next, I did the normal ending before and this time wanted to go for a different ending and thinking of choosing between two endings that seems like the best endings, Age of Order and Age of The Stars, I only slightly saw what the two endings are about but can't decide which ending is the better one

btw why is Serpent Hunter REALLY Good for PvE? I know this is unrelated to my main question but I seen many people say Serpent Hunter is good for PvE, and I don't know if that's true since I have not even fought Rykard (or whatever his name was) in my first playthrough

Age of Stars is better.

Just wanna mention Age of Stars and Frenzy Flame are the only unique endings, the rest are just variations of each other.

Regarding Serpent Hunter, it is a solid weapon, only issue is that its skill is completely useless outside of Rykard, but, it is a good weapon on its own.

I like age of stars, but the question remains about what it truly emplies. Hard to discuss this without major spoilers, though. Age of Order is basically what you had before, however if I remember correctly there are no demi-Gods and I think the Greater will can act without intermediaries. Which could turn out very wrong, imho. Nobody said that the greater will are actually good.

it has no distinct advantage over the other great spears other than its low requirements and slightly more AR.
its low requirments and high stagger make it the best non bleed melee weapon for non melee classes though, but this is only true because a lot of enemies have holy defense.
great spears have very good movesets in general., this is because of their high reach and when holding a shield they can keep attacking for as long as stamina is sufficient.

its a good weapon but its not exactly fun to use, because battles turn out to become formulaic.

Age of Stars has the better content in regards to the questline that leads up to it. Age of Order is just the Elden Lord ending, but with different flavour text. Lord of Frenzied Flame is the third unique ending, which probably has the most entertaining ending scene but is the most secretive in terms of how to do without using a guide.

Nobody really understands what any of the endings mean so just decide whether you prefer to be a t-poser or a simp.

The only secret is how to get the items on your way down, since they are hidden behind the stuff. My guess is after meeting with the 3-spagetti monster, or burning you-know-what

The solution to holy defense is to run Siluria's Tree and brute force your way through it by hitting 1,200s with your 25 FP projectile weapon art

Its actually pretty straight forward, problem is, the localization completely screw up the meaning of the ending.

Anarchy is the correct answer.

As you may know, Ranni's dialogue during the ending is translated incorrectly. What the Age of Stars implies is that Ranni and her consort, aka you, will travel into deep space, leaving the Lands Between. Basically Ranni wants to divorce the gods from the planet, so they don't mess with everyone and can't influence things.

At least that's my take.

So they're rather similar with the perfect order ending in that sense i guess.

Yep.

The Age of Order ending is the closest you're gonna get to an objectively morally good ending, where everything that is right and good with the world is left as is, and all outer forces are shut out of the cycle, basically creating paradise as was intended from the start, yet had failed to be properly implemented by the fallible higher wills.

The Age of the Stars is a a lot more unclear on the matter of effect it is supposed to have on the Lands Between, where it essentially is abandoned by all greater powers (Ranni and the player) and is basically left to it's own devices, once again breaking off contact with all outer gods and their systems, leaving the world to a more uncertain future.

Meh, even the "mistranslation" is open for interpretation over whether it's "better" or not, even if I personally believe it is.

Uh, no, Age of Order is the death of free will and the supremacy of the Geater Will's plan.

Age of Stars is pretty much the opposite situation so which one you prefer is a matter of whether you value freedom (including the messiness it entails) or prefer determinism (which squashes individualit).

The whole thing with Goldmask was that he saw the faults and failings in the designs of the Greater Will, and sought to remove it's direct influence and "perfect" the order of the world by abolishing cosmic interaction.
This is very obviously not in the Greater Will's best interest, and I'm not entirely sure from where you pulled the bit about "death of free will", but you're free to interpret the endings however you want, as will I.

[fauxpas]

Nah, he placed the blame of Greater Will's plan failing on the actions of the demigods, so his solution was to strengthen the Golden Order by removing the faults of people, ergo free will.
