Endings are really frustrating.

So I got this game after playing F&H 1 and getting the character endings and that game and like for the most part you can have pretty good endings for those characters. But the fact that in this game you either have the choice of sacrificing yourself or becoming a serial killer and killing everyone is so dumb to me, why give me the option to save some people but not everyone? I know there's more content coming but the endings at the moment just seem so lackluster, even the ones where only you survive are pretty bad too, like Daan lives and it just says "well that did nothing." like that feels rewarding after going through literal hell. Like I get why a lot of people like this game but I wish I could just experience the characters and their dialogue and not be worried is this person gonna die if I walk into this building. Cause like I would like to see them all survive, just cause were in the festival doesn't mean we have to play by the rules. I personally haven't even been able to finish this game for myself because after learning what happens it just bums me out too much to know that there's nothing you can do in the end.

I usually wait to day 3 to start the killing spree on their monster form. I get your point, you can save everyone but yourself in a single run. Is the maximum you can achieve I guess.

For Daan, well *SPOILER*: If you enter on day 4 with any character, you insta die, but with Daan you get a special cutscene, and turn into Pocketcat, is kinda, the same ending as if you get the B ending.

If I recall well, not every character has a bad ending after beating Rher. Let's see what's coming on the future update.

They may not have a bad ending per say but they just feel underwhelming to be honest. Like in 1 Enki goes on to be an immortal loremaster, Ragnvaldr slays monsters, D'arce is the reason for Kaiser's creation, and Cahara well it depends on what you think is canon, I personally think he brought the girl to the heart of darkness.

Termina's character endings are just like oh well i saw a bunch of crazy stuff welp time to go back to my day to day. Marcohs is the only exception honestly cause he actually tries to fight the monsters kinda like Rag.

What restrics ppl from imagining situation in which Cahara did bring girl to the deeps, died, got resurrected with guardian soul and getting out on his on or by others, since Naashra got toasted in same location, so maybe someone also dived there
So, in the end Cahara get out and boom S ending

well, you got dragged into something pretty much by power of older god and descended god, as much as one might want, there isn't much of space and will to have things your way. You either die, participate in the festival and win or prevent it by aiding into making new ascended god

also my bet on D'arce actually figuring that after getting from her S to yellow king that she did stupid thing and got the girl after to altar, as getting S requires having Cube of depth. Using rot on Yellow in termina reveals his S ending visage under the robes

I mean the theme of the game is a battle royale festival. It does make sense the endings are either of being in support of the plan or against it, and the theme of the festival is reflected in the ending itself. Either everyone dies and you survive, or you end up doing the complete opposite. Everyone surviving and being happy wouldn't be in line with the themes either, fear, hunger and generally bad things are big ones unfortunately for Daan. It's worth noting, you might not really be typically what one might consider dead.

A theme in the game is human limitations. Rher wants to limit humans. The fact you can't save everyone including yourself is definitely a pretty straight forward limit on what we can achieve staying in theme, and while it might appear to be in the ending where you sacrifice yourself you are actually going directly against what Rher wants by essentially becoming a God and merging with another human who ascended to Godhood, making a point by your actions that Rher is wrong and there is limitless potential for humanity
