As for the ending, I don't think it shows that it's the end of humanity. If the memory banks in the lifehold were damaged, then the mims shouldn't be functional anymore. The lifehold is destroyed, yet the mims are functional.

Their memories and personalities still have to exist in some form, or they would be nonfunctional entirely. And they still have the genetic material, and may still be able to make bodies.

It's implied throughout the game that Mira is somehow special. In how so many species wound up there, and how everyone can communicate. In particular, there is something odd about miranium.

And that's kind of the problem with the story. There are a lot of interesting ideas that are never fully fleshed out.

There are ideas that were not treated but for several reasons:

- The first is the particularity of Mira, but in my opinion, they should"t explain that. It one of the mystery that is better as a mystery than as an explanation. It is like it is. They would need at last 4 games to explain properly something of this scale.

- The second point is the second race who was fighting the Ganglio around earth. Who are they? Why they were fighting the Ganglion? Were they hostile against the humanity or did they try to save us? It was never explicated and it was clear from the beginning that they would not dig into it.

The final twist was surprising because they could have completely sealed the deal with the first ending, and then they added a lot of questions. Maybe for a sequel.

For the humanity, I was under the impression that the DNA was stocked in the database.... If the database is destroyed, then the DNA samples of the 20 millions of people are destroyed too no?

I don't think that it would've taken four games to explain that properly... but if it was, then they shouldn't have tried to do it in one games.

I don't think it was clear they wouldn't dig into it.  I don't think they necessarily needed to.  Would have been nice, but I'm fine with humanity just getting into the crosshairs in a Kree-Skrull war kind of thing. 

I would have been much happier with the story as it was.  I don't think it needed a cliffhanger, or any mystery that is introduced at the last minute.  If there is a sequel, I might feel differently, but as is, it left a bad taste in my mouth.

The data base was destroyed, so that should have been the end of humanity.  But, it was clear that when the database was broken, all mims should have shut down.  Yet, they didn't. So there is possibly another way they were preserved.
