I'm not defending Necron. This is why he may have been added to the game. One of the main themes of this game was life. All through out the game many of the characters were afraid of dying. The black mages didn't understand the concept of death and Vivi knew his time was coming soon. (I read somewhere that in the Japanese version Vivi stopped before the ending FMV) Kuja was so afraid of dying that he was going to destory the world because of it.

After defeating Kuja, Necron shows up as death personified. So in a way, you have been fighting him the entire game. You technically do not win this battle because death in inevitable and can't be stopped. The characters kind of realize this during this fight but vow to never give up fighting, meaning that they will all try to live as long as they can.

I'll agree, it was pretty random of him to just show up at the end and the reasons are pretty vague.

i admit, first time around i thought that the whole situation of the end.....transporting to another world and all that was a bit out there compared to the rest of the game, but on a secound effortt the whole thing grew on me more and i came to love the game completly. i got to appreate why it was introduced like that into the game and that it actualy was a good thing.

In my opinion everything from Necron onwards was lame. The fact the last boss in the game you have never even seen before or heard of. Zidane going back for Kuja was poor. The cutscene looked good but i didn't like that he went for him. Zidane showing up at the play was just rubbish. I was very dissapionted by it if he had died it would have been a much more dramatic ending.

What?
FFIX had a perfect ending! It fit well with the game, and it was so romantic to finally see Zidane and Garnet together at last.

The ending is awesome! End of story in my opinion.

I think the ending (in terms of storyline) was great, but i don't like how Necron was involved. He just appeared out of nowhere, whereas Kuja is the baddie throughout. I think Kuja should have been the last boss.

I feel that Necron was an important part of the game. In a sense, he/she/it was the Iifa Tree, the soul divider part anyway. Supposidely he was created by Garland for that purpose, but after hearing Kuja decided that all life exists only to die, which is why he attacked the party on the hill of despair

I liked the ending, it was surprising to see Zidane in the play!

I think ending was great, typical good ending.

Probably the best ending to a FF game, the inclusion of Necron was a bit cheap but it was slightly hinted upon with previous remarks about how there was consequences if the crystal was destroyed. Would have preferred a bit more in terms of detail but didn't ruin it for me.
