I don't care about the ending I just thought the whole story was pretty shit.I think the problems people have with the story is the most baffling to me, and I wonder if there had been significant content there if people would even complain at all? Like, is the sore spot that you'd didn't play for that terribly long and thus you should get to play these other threads?
Yes some things are left hanging in the overarching world, but I don't see how that means the story is unfinished. The story was one of Gallahad and his realization that the order wasn't what he thought it was, and how he came to leave it. He goes through complete arc in the game. The moment the game ends is the moment it needed to for that story.
Yes you don't know where the lycans came from or what ultimately happens to the rebellion, etc, but you don't know that shit in a lot of stories. You don't really know where the infection comes from in The Last of Us. You don't know what happens to Joel and Ellie. You don't know what happens to some of the groups you interact with in the world. But that works, because that was a character story, and so is this. In a character story you just want to solve a specific arc with that character. With this we saw Gallahad go from trusted company man to skeptic to outright rebel. He found the corrupt person in The Order and killed him, and that punctuated his end with the group and as a knight. I'm not going to pretend it's anywhere near as good as TLOU, but I think that still stands.
When I heard people were pissed at the ending I guess I was expecting Final Fantasy XIII-2 levels of GODDAMMIT. I got to the end and was just confused. I liked the arc.
