What's your favorite ending? [Spoilers ofc]
My favorite is Fires of Raven. It feels like a knife getting stabbed in my guts as I have to fight all the people I'd grown to love during the campaign, but it's simply too reckless to rely on blind hope that coral wouldn't just wipe out the entire galaxy, therefore I'd rather be a monster and shoulder that sin of genocide myself than risk with the lives of untold billions across the galaxy.

Fires of Raven too, I would have liked the Alea Iacta Est a bit more if ALLMIND wasn't going to be like "go there to get protection" or try to get help from Iguazu instead of us, I hate that guy, both of the endings are quite extremes but because of Iguazu I liked Fires of Raven a lot more.

I think I'm between Alea Iacta Est and Liberator. For me though it ties into the weird decision (imo) that they let you pick between Liberator/Fires in the first playthrough, when most of the RLF missions/dialogue/divergences only really make themselves apparent in NG+ and it kinda comes out of nowhere betraying Carla, Walter, etc.

I think Fires should've been mandatory first ending, Liberator available to choose on NG+ and then Iacta on NG++ same as normal.

That being said of all of them, Liberator's final boss hit the hardest for me, just the haunting feeling of fighting someone who's not all there, the music, the dialogue and the fight being a little hard but not REALLY so you can really get involved in just feeling it. Iacta's final boss is a little undercut for me by it just being Iguazu AGAIN and it's kinda funny in that respect.

The Fires boss was very emotional though too. Idk, I think with Fromsoft games I tend to look at the whole final push to the last boss as opposed to just the ending cutscene 'story' because we don't tend to get a lot of detail in how it affects the worlds after in any of the games.

So the stuff with Rusty in Liberator is fantastic + the final boss, plus the kinda unknown consequences of what you've done whether it's good or bad for the galaxy is why I like it a lot. Iacta's I have the most questions about, but I still love the slow build of ALLMIND and all that.

i liked the fires of raven ending, it felt like the most natural ending of the 3, the secret ending felt like miyazaki was Marathoning EVA while writing the plot (take that however you like).

I did love that part of the 3rd ending as well. I just like how cheesy it felt like Iguazu was this spiteful, yet very human character who embodied the "you will never defeat the human spirit!!" type of character, yet he didn't do it for any sort of a noble reason, but instead because he was a spiteful buggerer that just didn't know when to give up.

It's basically the trolley problem, you destroy a planet to save the universe.

Fires of Raven hands down.
IMO that's the GOOD ending since if you find the research logs there is a decent chance coral conversion when left uncheck may start forming random blackholes everywhere.

Not to mention it's apparently VERY flammable and you KNOW some one is gonna light it again some time some where in the future.

Assuming corporates as a whole don't extinct our entire species fighting over it.

That and I never gave a fart about anyone but Rusty and as far as I know there is no ending where he survives (with evidence of his survival) so I might as well burn the world since after I had to kill him my world was already dead.

Armored Core 3 and armored core 2, which seem to be less popular answers in this franchise.

Fires of Raven, i know the other endings despite having not done them myself and i too believe genocide is the answer.

It works the same as my views of criminals who commit attempted murder or other crimes of that level or higher. They can't do it again if they are dead can they? This is the same to me. The coral can't possibly cause immense problems universe wide if it's completely wiped out can it?

No risk at all is better than having it.

Ghosts possess mecha across the galaxy. Anyone saying different is ghostist and mechist.

Flames of Raven for the good of mankind.

Alea Lacta Est if I was a fried brain stuck inside a plastic bag and shoved into a metal coffin to die and then suddenly found a girlfriend with a mech with boobs and cat ears.

Liberation if you want the things to eventually go back to be the same as ever.

I still find it amusing they gave coral spirit voice ♥♥♥♥, cause it would make fires of raven really flat ending. We save universe but killed few rubicions who gives a ♥♥♥♥ about those ama right q.q....Buddy>ghost demon chick
