I was thinking about the games I've played this year and I have to say Final Fantasy Type-0 has possibly the absolute worst ending sequences of any game I've ever played. Wow it's awful.
Spoilers obviously.
And that's it. This was basically just a rant on that game's ending. Game has other problems but I think the ending just kind of sums up what's wrong with it.
So what other games just fell apart at the end and had awful endings?
Spoilers obviously.
After finishing the previous chapter everything all of the sudden goes to complete shit in the world. The world just kind of starts ending and an enemy you never heard of before just starts killing people all over the world. The game barely gives you a heads up that this is about to happen, other than the fact that people were worried about signs of the world ending.
Okay cool, now you got to this giant platform that appeared in the sky to stop the end of the world I guess. Cid the leader of the opposing country is there and basically became the judge for the end of the world. The game play in this area is absolutely awful. Each room has a different requirement that you have to abide to, ranging from not getting hit to just surviving a time limit, not meeting the requirement is insta-death. It's not that difficult but it makes a lot less fun.
So you get to the top of this area, re-fight easier versions of some bosses you already beat and then the worst part happens. You get to a room where you have to get to the top of steps and the requirement is "don't fall in", once you get to the top Cid just decides, okay I'm bored let's stop and just insta-fails you. You then are in an almost dead state, have to make an awfully long walk due to your slowed down, half dead state, and also watch 2 of the other characters kind of just "kill" each other due to L'cie(remember that from FFXIII?) things.
Then we get to the final boss. If you can call it that. The first part is just you dying to the boss. Then through more L'Cie BS, you get revived, get fully powered up and now it's time for an epic fight right!?! Well no. You can't die. The whole entire fight is just using every character, waiting for a small window to hit the boss, and take part of it's power. It quite possibly the most underwhelming thing in the whole game. Nothing about this fight feels satisfying. You don't feel powerful, you feel like you activated a cheat code for invincibility mode. Everything that led up to that moment was just kind of pointless.
Oh then the best part, once the fight is over, you get transported back into the school everybody looks tired and exhausted, but turns out they used the last of their power to do all this stuff and are dying. They don't look like they are dying at all but trust me they are. And then of course they all die. All of them. You see this could be incredibly impactful except the character development in this game is ridiculously bad and chances are you don't give a damn about any of them. You see the two previous characters who were L'Cie come into the room(who are now alive and well) and all their are all dead and happy looking. The game tries to act like you are supposed to be sad but I couldn't feel anything for these characters.
