Spoiler discussion about the ending.

So, pretty much the MC is supposed dead, but Sasha kinda hints that they arent. And then we see that last scene which I hope it's after that whole battle. What are your thoughs?

Also, does the MC have an "official" name? I cant find anything related to him on the wiki.

Your character isn't canon to the story so their probably won't be much information about them. They may have lived at the end or died but if they did live then I'm assuming that instead of returning back to HQ they instead decide to pursue revenge and go after the Armored Titan.

You make your own character canon.A character creator wouldnt make sense, if an official preset character exists

f you ask me, the second ending is just there as a "what if" since those events never occured in the original verse so I don't really digest it as a "True Ending" like most youtube videos delcare it.
There is no pre-missions, no events to lead to that, nothing. It's just one mission after the first credits/ending. Hell, the 3 titan shifters that came to destroy the walls didn't consider going there since Levi is surely to be in the Walls, someone that the Beast Titan wants to avoid at all costs and I assure you that Bertholdt and Rainer, possibly, want to do the same, along with others.

All in all, if we go by cannon, our character lives/we live and if we go by the AU there is a probabily that we are either dead or alive.

The end of credits #2 shows your character approach your cape and blade, implying you survived.

Huge relief.

Given that their third assault on the walls ends with Bertholdt being ripped armless from the colossal and fed to Armin and Reiner's armored taking a flurry of thunder spears to the neck, barely surviving, this one with the Colossal, Armored and Beast assaulting the wall trying to retrieve Annie never happened in canon.
The way I see it is this is just a foot in the door in case they decide to have the same player created character continue on in the next game from events already unfolded. Rather than trying to find some reason to shoe-horn in a new character after all these events already took place.
As it is, the next game would probably be as much 'Attack on Human' as 'Attack on Titan' if they follow the manga directly.

it is just to tie your character back into the postgame, just like rescuing the dead people bridges them back into the postgame. You guys are reading too much into it.
