I think its the 2nd worst ending to the series behind FF7.

FF7 didn't have a bad ending, just a very anticlimatic last fight. I mean, seriously, WTF was up with that fight with Sephiroth? 

The one with only Cloud? Or the one before?

The final boss fight / cutscenes of FFXIII seemed like all nonsense to me, which I guess I should expect from a JRPG (seems like thats the case half the time). I suppose the direction the story was heading in meant the ending couldn't be satisfying for me, at that point I cared more about the reward it'd give me, but even then, it could've been better... it was way too sudden. 2 min of V/F saving everything (pretty unexpected, no g-bye or nothin), 2 min of "Yay, S / D are back!", and bam, done. Like they were in a hurry to wrap the whole thing up. Bleh.

I just watched it all again, can't stress how much I love Light! Start of the final fight:

"Find your own road to hell!" Ha.

On that note, I also just checked out the FFX ending. God damn, that game was too fucking good! Watching some FFVI now, and loving it. One thing's for damn sure, Uematsu >>> My Heart.

The one with only Cloud. They could have made that into a cutscene and it would have been so much better >_>

The problem with FFXIII ending is that the english dialogue doesn't make much sense with the actual action. I've seen the fan translated version on FF-XIII.net and trust me, it's much better than the official one.

It makes sense in the way that it's the only logical conclusion of what could happen to Cocoon and Pulse, and why they voluntarely sacrificed themselves in order to save Cocoon's humankind. It was an announced ending, nothing trully unexpected. But then again, no FF has ever had a completely unexpected ending xD
