Man, FF7 was the best! It let you USE your imagination! Sure, I would have liked to see Aeris magically become revived and Cloud and her go off to some Chapel, the world be saved, and the meteor fragments rain down on the Boondox and kill all the hicks, but realistically and mentally, that's lackadasial and just play stupid. Square said, "Hey. Gamers are SOMEWHAT intellegent, let's let them guess for themselves." Square showed you what happened to the Earth, and you get to make what you want of it.

I would have liked to have seen more. However, when you really think about it, what could Square have done? Nothing that really wouldn't have ruined the story.

FF8, on the other hand, basically told you EVERYTHING that happened. There wasn't even room for the slightest human thought. Not that it was a bad ending, because it wasn't, I just like to think for myself. That's why books are better than movies.

I liked MGS2's ending also. The game is hysterically confusing up until the exact last line of the game- it's perfect that way.
