I have to say I really enjoyed FF IX's ending. Nothing particuarly deep about it, just happy and satisfying. The awesome-for-ps1-standards visuals on the FMV are also a plus.

Tactics is my favorite ending. VIII and IX get honorable mentions, though.

FFT gets my vote

FFT too, that one wasn't predictable

Who would have tought that Delita was going to stab back Ovelia?

And praticly didn't touch much the main character wich isn't really bad because you play the whole game with him, you just see what happens.

Tactics' ending owns in this department because it's entirely nontraditional and almost dually climactic (Delita/Ramza endings). Unhappy (!?), shocking, straight out of left field on both accounts...in a sense: marvelous. The Squeenix lineup probably won't deliver again, but to paraphrase my good buddy Barret's words, there's always a golden, shiny wire of hope that they will.

I pretty much admire all of them. But my favorite ending is a tie between Final Fantasy V's (If you beat the final boss with all characters) and Final Fantasy IX (If you get Cinna's hammer).

They both had beautiful music, especially the one with the Hiryuu flying and the song playing while Marcus (I think that's the guy) was waiting for Princess Cornelia, but she never came. The story for the ending was quite nice... But I found FFIX's not very "active" except going to watch the play..

In FFV's, I liked that better. I liked how the void returned everything that was sucked up, and I also loved the part at the Moore Forest.

So, all-in-all, they both are legendary to me.

My favourite is FFIV's ending. It resolves everthing, implies what's happening in the future, and it's generally happy. I like that.

I thought FFX's ending was well-done, but it's sort of bittersweet.

FFX's ending made my wife cry, and she hates videogames.

Aujourdhui a commence avec toi.

It's been a while, but I think:

You see a scene with Cinna, Blank, and Ruby, I'm not sure whether or not this is correct, but I'm almost certain you see an extra scene with Cinna's Hammer.

My favourite would have to be FFVIII, particularly the scene where

Laguna is remembering Raine for one last time. It was very sad to watch them together like that knowing that their relationship would end in tragedy... in contrast to the other characters finding happiness.

Eyes on Me is my favourite vocal track in the series because it always reminds me of this scene.

My other favourites would have to be FFIX and FFX. I liked FFIX's ending because it was the most touching ending, and FFX's ending because

It was the saddest ending from the lot... but FFX-2 has lessened the impact.

My favorite was FFV.

The part where Cara's letter is read was especially touching. Not to mention Uematsu's "Dear Friends" track, which perfectly complemented the mood.

FFVII and FFIX were my favorites, specially FFVII...

--------------------

"Its no cheating if you don't get caught"

Final Fantasy VIII. It had flora explosions.

--------------------

THE HOFF

I would have to say Tactics, because it doesn't explain everything. Sure my favorite character dies, but she was kinda tragic anyway.

Honorary mention goes to VIII for that stream of coinciousness thingie and the symbolism. (Albiet a touch hamfisted, but maybe I'm being to critical.)

So if you're done reading this, you know I have nothing to say and you've wasted your time. Thank you come again.

Favorite ending is probably FFVIII, one of the first "realistic" endings. I actually liked FFVIII cause it wasn't really a fantasy, it actually seemed real (the characters personalities, portraits). Sure there were idiots in the game (Selphie, Rinoa), but the ending of FFVIII was nicely done.

FFV probably had a horrible ending, it was too generic. FFVI had a nice ending, and so did FFVII.

What's everyone's favorite FF endings? Mine have to be VI,VII and X.

If there is a topic on this can someone post a link to it please.

FF7 takes my vote, although FF 2/4 ending was pretty good but i liked 7's ending.

--------------------

Kel'Thuzad: She is persistent. Reminds me of you, death knight.

Arthas:Shut up you damned ghost.

-Warcraft III Kel'thuzad comparing Arthas and Sylvanas Windrunner.

Ending? OK Final Fantasy 10 love the bit when Tidus slaps Jecht's hands.

--------------------

Bahamut King Of The Dragons...

FFVII was awesome, the ending cinematic was cool with the highwind trnasforming, then you just get this feeling "Saved the World" bling!

although FFX was very touching, like what the heck now hes gone all the love gone,

--------------------

Sata Tsubasa no Tenshi-

Barret - "Cloud the group has been talking and we feel that its time for a new leader."
Cloud - "Judas explain your treachery!!"

Some people say its sad when I can walk them through FFVII in my head. I call it a gift.

VI hands down. You get an ending coda for each character, not to mention the elation of knowing that the party just reached the edge of oblivion but came back from the brink all the better for it.

Well, except for Shadow.

FFIX has a great ending. It's touching how all the characters have better, happier lives after the game and the farewell letter was just great. If only Kuja hadn't died.

Edit

I posted twice in the same thread. I didn't realize I posted before this one.

Eight. Life seemed so much better when it was out of the way...

Seriously, though, Six probably wins. Nine's ending was okay, FF4's wasn't too hot, nor was 5's, and 7/10 have their extended endings which suck...

Yes, this topic has been done before: http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/forums/ipb/in...?showtopic=7499 .

And as in that topic, I'll say here again that I like Final Fantasy V's ending the best--it was, in fact, quite touching.

The FFT ending is exactly all of that. While the bitter and fated tone is overwhelming, the dualism comes from Ramza's segment actually giving us some good news. Furthermore, the bitterness had been consistent throughout the entire game. The plot almost resembles a list of atrocities. I see the ending as the only happy part of the game (excluding all of those "good feelings" I got).

Then again, I feel that FFX takes the cake because its level of emotion is greater than any other one for me. Also, the profound meaning goes beyond the social and human messages by involving the theme of water. The discourse on the natural world that FFX's ending addresses left me pondering for a long time. (Is that too vague? I don't want to write a book and put it in a spoiler).

By the way, why in the name of moogles is this not a poll?

--------------------

Get me off this Disciplinary Committee so I can play any FF except for FF8!!!

FFX was the best ending even if it's not my favorite FF game. FF7 had a good ending it just didn't seem complete at first i thought i was missing a part of it.
