Best Ending Ever.

[Nidoking76]

What was the best game ending you've ever played? Not The Robots is my favorite.

Definitely the ending of Professor Layton and the Unwound Future. I'm not gonna explain, because spoilers, but those who have played it will understand

Persona 3 because... Minato being... Minato.

Hm, I'd have to say I still have the ending for Crisis Core engrained in my head. It did a great job acting as the prequel to the main game, but the actual ending itself was horrible for my feels ;;

I second that. It was just a really well done ending. You know from the beginning of the game (at least, if you've already played FF7) exactly how Zack's story ends, but it's still such a tearjerker.

I'll go with all the Metal Gear Solid series (except with 2, that ending wasn't as good as it should have been), aaaand if I have to choose one I'll go with MGS3! It blows your mind, leaves everything open, and it makes you feel proud, sad and happy all at once haha

ps, MGS4 ending is amazing too, specially how much it hurts in the end...

The ending to Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 3. spoilers in a gif form below:

Spoiler:

It was just really satisfying: hearing about Tobi's plan, seeing it unfold before your very eyes...then comes the final battle. Besides being a GIANT NINE TAILED CHAKRA THING, you bring down Tobi at the climax of the war.

^ That hit was extremely satisfying to me.

I can't decide just one.

Mother 3 ending is perfect from a narrative perspective. It is really emotional and is told using the gameplay itself, with and excellent use of music and the background to communicate emotions without need of tons of text. Just four lines and the appropriate setting can make the deal.

Earthbound ending is algo perfect, and the only one that actually makes me cry like a baby every time I play it.

Spoiler:

How you can travel around the world with Paula before heading home. Like a last date. Then you get back home alone, and watch the photos of your travels together with your family and THAT music plays. And finally... "I miss you". Wonderful. Simply wonderful.

Vagrant Story ending is also an incredible experience (although more cinematographic), the perfect conclusion for the most perfect story in gaming.

Pretty much how I feel about Mother 3.

The only other game I think came close to that good of an ending is Final Fantasy VI. Simply because the game manages to make you feel you really did save the world.

Spoiler:

The very last part where the screen sits on "the end." with the prelude playing stirred a lot of emotions as well.

Yeah, it gave us insight into how he lived his life at least, and everything he did was to benefit others ;; It still brings tears to my eyes whenever I think about his wish of becoming a hero.

I kinda liked the ending of fire emblem awakening, how you got to choose whether you would sacrifice yourself to put a permanent end to grima, or have chrom do it and have grima return later?
I won't say what happens after you choose after you sacrifice yourself (because of spoilers).
I also liked the end of the pokemon black and white games, just having a different ending for a pokemon game already made me happy, but it was a sad ending, N realising that he had done wrong, and flying off on reshiram/zekrom, it kinda made me teary-eyed

I don't know why but I really like the ending to Sonic Heroes!

 

[twocows]

Of the games I've played, I think the original Deus Ex had the best ending(s). It's nothing grandiose, it basically lets you decide how to resolve all of the various arguments being put forth throughout the course of the game. The consequences of your final decision are never completely revealed: they're hinted at, but how things ultimately play out is left unresolved. I really liked it. And then Invisible War came along and made a mess of it. Luckily, I can just pretend it doesn't exist.

I'm planning to play Planescape: Torment soon, though, and it's my favorite game designer's most well-received game. So my answer may change.

Ghostbusters (NES), easily has the best ending ever. A few lines of text riddled with typos and incorrect grammar is a win in my book.

 

[Yukari]

The ending of Ultima V: Warriors of Destiny... Do I really need a spoiler for a game this old?

Spoiler:

Now that you have saved Britannia from lord blackthorn you return to earth, where your deeds are unknown. But it turns out that in your absence your house was robbed. Really what this is is a call to action. After all; Britannia isn't the only world in need of help.
