Ending credits are playing now..'

Wow. Just wow. I'm completely floored with how the game ended, and how much I liked it ending that way. If someone had told me at the beginning there would be no "hard answer" revealed, I might have lost interest. Yet in this last chapter, even though that never came, the game MADE me not care so much.

I've also never been humbled by a game before. Twice in a row, in fact. I realized I was totally a goat, and even a specific one. (the one who stopped thinking and got particularly chided for it) Never thought game characters would chew me out!

I was rooting for a happy end the whole time, and I have to say the bittersweet ending kept me just on the edge of my seat the whole time. The falling out of the boat scene that looked like credits had me holding my breath the whole time! I was praying that it wouldn't end in a simple tragedy at that point. I do wish she wasn't such the cookie cutter "tragic heroine" though, that's getting very over-used in general, I think... JUST BE HAPPY dammit

Very beautiful way of revealing the final characters during that "in the future" segment, and explaining why it took so many years to come to an end. Put tears in my eyes from that point forward.

On a different note, the anime version had BETTER animate those final witch fights well! I can see it so well in my head - the birth and destruction of whole universes, the endless duels of blades and scythes... heh

@MainCharacter:
As to that final vision, I'm going to believe that the female Hachijo was none other than Beatorice herself, and Battler finally recognizes her after seeing the portrait. After all, she IS a troublesome rich heir to a fortune! Living alone writing games would be a suitable pastime for her.
Who was Featherine, then? Just as the pen name Hachijo was two people, Featherine in the end was the collective will of Battler and Beatrice. She was the one who wrote the end of the tale, right? It was the actions of Battle, Beatrice, and Ange that wrote the end of this tale. And apparently Beato likes cats named Bern :P
You see, candy addictions and a warm snuggly kitty will interrupt games all the time, so two witches messing with their games fits perfectly! Right? Right!

And that, is my truth.
