Saddest Ending for you?

[Rolan Culdis]

I wanna talk about the endings, the ones that rip your heart out.

For me I'd say without a doubt that the Remy Bad Ending is the worst of the lot, no other ending compares in sadness to it for me.

You go through all the game trying your best to keep Remy happy in a time where he feels he has no one and it tears him up, you're finally the friend he needs and he opens up telling you about everything.

But then the Reza confrontation happens, the one time Remy's anger actually breaks and tells you to leave him, no matter how many times I see that scene it hurts.

And then it gets even worse when you're left stranded on the abandoned Human Earth, a slight glimmer of hope when Remy finds you, only to find out that back on the Dragon Earth that the comet struck and everyone you have ever met is dead, all the Dragons and Humans.

And then Izumi tells you you have to go back and leave Remy. And you do, you leave Remy utterly and completely alone on a barren planet with no one left. Just thinking that Remy, who finally had a friend is now truly alone and would never find anyone else, I can only say that it's the worst feeling, to imagine him like that. It just hurts to think of it.

So that's the saddest ending for me, how about anyone else's?

Probably someone who chose to work WITH Reza as far as I can tell.

Lorems bad ending
Bryces good ending
Annas bad ending

Sadnes rating 2 (not really sad but has some sad moments):

for me, the one that really made my heart lurch and tear itself into two is without a doubt. Anna's supposedly 'good' ending.

I mean. seriously?! I go through the game again only to get slapped in the face with her dying yet AGAIN?!

Writers, that was just so cruel.... you guys really tore me up through all nine levels of Hell with that....

P.S. I was in waterfall tears for the next half an hour.

I think the saddest for me was Anna's GOOD ending.

That you feel so sad during her bad ending and then you try to do right by her and she dies of cancer anyway, right as she's opening up to you and wants to live and be with you. ;-;

Bryce's bad ending

It broke me becase it happened so quickly, my dragon husband jumping on an exploding generator trying to shield me from the blast.

Maverick's rage echoed my pain.

To be honest, though, the good ending wasn't that much better for me - killing Maverick with my own hands in a pointless effort to save Izumi made me feel like I'd betrayed Bryce,
even though the epilogue dialogue hinted that he forgave me for it, especially in light of the impending apocalypse.

Its so difficult for me to pick the saddest ending.

To narrow it down the most, it has to be between Remy's bad/good ending, Bryce's bad ending,
and Anna's good ending

The moment I got to know Remy I felt a connection to him. I've delt with the same issues that he opens up about, and just being able to know what he goes through is enough to make me cry. For his bad ending, you give him a glimmer of hope then leave him alone. Completely and utterly alone. And with what everyone was pointing out about his tie... I don't want to think about it. And his good ending... he finds something he truly loves, and its ripped away from him.
And its a child, for god sakes. Reza kills a child.

When I got to know Bryce I felt comfortable around him. Before I knew everyone else's stories I always felt awkward around them or I just didn't care, but when I met Bryce and spoke with him I truly enjoyed it and looked forward to every moment I got to spend with him. When he died in the farmhouse I had to step away for 5 minutes to regain my composure after tears fell,
but the bad ending... He sacrificed himself to save us, the true definition of a hero. I just wish the text was more... emotional. After he died like that it was just like "yeah, he's dead". If I was really in that situation I would've been sobbing in front of the entrance, not nonchalant about the entire thing

Anna is... an odd one. I empthsize with her because of the fact she is turning into her childhood friend, her worst nightmare, and she is terrified of it and nearly lets herself go in front of you, but at the same time... how could you wish for Remy to die? He's such a sweetheart, and he's hurting so much. I can't excuse that belief of hers, but her good ending was so bitter regardless. You give her hope of survival, and its ripped away from her and you watch her die.

Its not an ending, but lets not forget about Maverick. I honestly could see it with the short flashback: A rookie to the police force, full of energy, excitement and good intentions who looks up to his superior. He enjoys what he does... until he discovers that his brother has mentally died, and he himself has to kill him. The look on young Maverick's face... I want to hug him.

♥♥♥♥ i'm crying again

and yes I know i bumped the discussion, but I just got the true ending not 20 minutes ago and I just gotta talk about this fantastic game with someone
