That is if you count Vivi expiring and not appearing in the ending cut scene as a happy ending.

10 ends with the laughing manchild with daddy issues finally dying like I wanted him to the whole game so I count that as a happy ending.

I would argue that most of them do. Some have minor downer elements like characters going off for penance or dead characters staying dead, some have a late-game death, but really, only FFVI (world is utterly fucked, but the heroes are determined to fix it) and VII (ambiguously apocalyptic ending until the compilation ruined it) have what I would even call bittersweet endings.

yeah there is. There's like 3 endings in X-2 iirc. A good, a bad, and a perfect. Perfect is where Tidus comes back. Can't remember the specifics of the other two, but in good, Yuna comes to grips and lets him go.

Yeah you just have to miss the whistle scene in the electric temple but still do the whistle thing right after the last boss

Doesn't Tidus canonically get killed by a landmine in a book or something?

I'm having troubles deciding which Tales game to continue right now, I basically have all the ones available in the werst besides Hearts which is suppose to be in the mail.

Which one should I continue with right now since my PS3 is on Graces, Xillia or Zestiria?

Except for the fact the Occuria were ousted from power, nothing left to prevent the world from turning into utter shit in FFt and Vagrant Story a few thousand years later. Also you free the Lucavi, which cause FFT's crisis too.

I mean wew, lad. Nice fucking job.

The Occuria were assholes though, clearly causing everyone trouble in the world. Sure, maybe the world got fucked up as time passed, but at least the people of the world got freedom over their manipulative assholes of gods. None of that even happens until a ways into the future though. As far as the events of XII are concerned, everything works out a-okay, as can be seen in Revenant Wings immediately after.

VI is the only one to have a somewhat bitter ending. I fucking love it though

X has by far the happiest ending.
I was filled with joy during the Tidus scene, Yunas crying was icing on the cake.
Nice try 'Back to Zanarkland', but I'm not a 12 year old girl.

>>322833256
>They explore the forest hoping to find a clue on how to return home when a ball rolls towards them. Tidus mistakes it as a blitzball and runs towards it while looking around for its owner. It explodes, killing Tidus and Yuna passes out from the shock. Yuna dreams of speaking to someone who claims to be a god and questions her regarding her relationship with Tidus. Yuna describes Tidus as an ordinary boy whom she met the day she became a summoner and whom she fell in love with during her pilgrimage. She is sad her feelings cannot be fulfilled, but the god tells her he will cast a spell that will suppress those feelings up until the day she became a summoner, but not erase them, with the possibility of them returning if something were to trigger it.

Surely freedom means jack shit if you're literally dooming the world to grow so rotten that even casting a simple healing spell dooms your soul for an eternity in the Dark?

The Occuria were well-intentioned extremists who were ultimately proven very right. Allowing Man to flourish without their guidance turned the world into a medieval shithole where more people are oppressed and live short, painful lives.

Like we see plenty in real life, too much freedom leads to utter decadence and abuse of power. A balance between freedom and tyranny leads to progress, which is what the Occuria were. People died, but in controlled and assessed necessities.
>>
>>322832924
>Except for the fact the Occuria were ousted from power
The Occuria were never ousted from power. Nothing in the game indicates that they were. The Sun-Cryst was their chosen means to treat with human lords, but nothing indicates that they can't build another or somehow interfere in human affairs again.

And remember, Zodiark, by far the strongest Esper to have ever existed, is more or less implied as still being fully loyal to them, being basically a baby and not having any real reason to resent them like the members of Ultima/Altima's rebellion do.

I'm fully convinced that the Occuria drowned the world in fire.
>>
>>322833696
>V ended
Not until Gilgamesh stops making appearances.
>>
>>322834376
If I remember correctly, the Sun-Cryst was the thing they used to control humans as they didn't have much influence or bargaining power otherwise. It's been too long since I played it, but I always gathered that by destroying the Cryst and whatever shit Vayne and Venat do near the ending, the Occuria's link to the world were essentially severed, doomed only to watch.

>>322831932
It'll be DLC. $14.99 and you'll have to buy it separately for each part. Please look forward to it.

>by destroying the Cryst [...] the Occuria's link to the world were essentially severed, doomed only to watch.

Honestly, this is the part of the story that's the least explained, despite how important it is to it.

Each of the Occuria is hideously powerful. Venat proves it in the final battle, and he's an outcast who cut his ties with his brothers. The Occuria sit high above Giruvegan; it's not like they willingly sealed themselves in some alternate dimension, or that they can't interact with the world. It is merely that they choose not to do it overtly. Like they themselves say it, they are history's gentle stewards, using the Sun-Cryst to treat with human lords for the sake of favoring humanity towards a path that they see as favorable.

Cutting away their ability to guide history peacefully, from the shadows, is by no means an indication that they can no longer interfere with the world. They just can no longer do it covertly.

The rift is sealed and the planet stays the way it was originally.

Why hasn't anyone thought to remake FF2 with a traditional level up system?

Can't be that hard.
>>
>>322835880
I guess you're right. I'm sorry I can't further contest, it's just been too long. Been putting off a PS2 replay off for years in hoping they release an HD version on PS3.

I wish Matsuno came back to work on another Ivalice game. One that helps tie the games together or at least establishes lore and geography.
>>
>>322836861
That kinda defeats the purpose of the remake though.
Maybe something less drastic, such as making it there are levels and stat gains on level up, but they only apply to HP, and not other offensive and defensive stats?
>>
>>322837142

I guess. Its just a shame that 2 introduced so much, but Square has rarely ever touched it because of a flawed leveling system.

Hi there!
You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!
Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bit to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!
>>
>>322837296
Well, at least it has received extra content and some graphical polishing for the GBA and PSP versions. I guess that's more than what can be said for some other games. The PS1 line, for example, which has to survive on nothing but the occasional Steam port.
