T thought the game got kinda weird near the end - the style of it seemed to change.. I guess it kinda made it more interesting even if it didnt quite fit with the beginning of the game.

Oh you mean like in FF4 where you find out that Golbez was really being controlled all along by a moonite... heh I mean a lunarian
Golbez : FuSoYa never told you what happened to your brother.
Cecil : He told me enough, he told me you killed him~!!
Golbez : No Cecil, I am your brother.
Cecil : NOOOooooOOOOO~!!!!

I loved the ending. It turned out sooo well. And I enjoy weird... That is probably a lot of the reason I liked it so much. And the fact that the very end was happy. =)

The ending was a bit confusing, I had to do some extra reading on it to make sure I knew what I was trying to understand. I do agree that I would of thought that if they made Kuja the final boss, or a 2/3 part boss (like the previous two FF's) then it would of made more of a difference, I just didn't feel any passion of Necron who was introduced to the game RIGHT at the end and you aren't even told he is the Iifa Tree.
The game itself though, I thought the transition from Medieval to Fantasy was quite well planned, it had to turn somewhat fantastical anyway, it's the whole point of the series  |

I think the Necron bit was abit....pointless....I can't really remember much because I haven't played it for ages but I just remember thinking who the f*** is this guy? I mean, I couldn't even remember his name until I read this thread!!!!
I agree that Kuja should of been the final boss as there was already a relationship built up with his character. Necron felt like a sidequest monster or something

But like I said, I wish Kuja had been the very last boss, and had been much harder to beat.

I kinda agree here. I don't think Necron neccessarily ruined it, but rather, Necron seemed kinda like an afterthought. It worked though. I really enjoyed this game, even the redemption of Kuja at the very end. |

the ending was a bit wierd.
if they had stayed on the story of them being bros it might had been better
but they decided to make two worlds crash which in my mind was like "oh we done mint ending for ff7 and ff8 but want can we do for ff92
"what bout worlds crashing together "
"yeah thts gd"
souds like 2 office workers getting drunk lol
but yeah the ending was ok with tehe bros storyline

I didn't think the ending ruined the game at all, although it was a little cliche. Since it's Final Fantasy, they could have thought of something more original and/or symbolic. It was quite an average fairytale ending.
I'm not sure what would have made it better but, while it didn't ruin it, it certainly could have been improved.

I'm with Lirael on this. It was a rather cliche ending, but I still loved it anyway. I was hoping for some more impact...I don't know what though. Maybe Zidane dying...but no, that would be too much since I did like the fact that Garnet and Zidane had a happy ever after. I do enjoy happy endings. I guess this game is just one of those that fits that style, unlike FFX, which is so damn brilliant!
And I do agree with how everyone felt about Necron. He didn't even threaten me with his appearance because there was no tension build-up, whatsoever.
