To be blunt, I actually liked the ending because it was unexpected. I mean yes Ragna died, but he isn't suffering anymore. In general, Happy Endings are overused and too predictable. There is no happy ending in reality and happiness is only temporary.

Blazblue's story has its quirks and flaws, but regardless....I didn't mind the ending. The story to me is more important than the ridiculous wishlists of shippings, waifus, and etc. Like that sort of nonsense to me gets in the way of the story and isn't what Blazblue is all about.

Mori may not be a good story teller, but what he did here was rather...unlike him and unpredictable. So, I get people are upset that their favorite character dies, but I don't mind if they do...that IF they had good closure and not die in vain. It provides a sense of 'realism' to the story.

In conclusion, I don't see what the big deal is on this thread. I mean...if you don't like the ending, then boo hoo. It is Mori's work and he has control over it, nobody else. He can write how the story goes as he sees fit. If you want a happy ending, go to Fanfiction and write...I mean getting mad over an ending you don't agree upon is rather petty if you ask me.

Sorry if this comes off dickish, but I'm just being honest with my outlook on how this thread is structured. Agreed, Agreed, Agreed and Agreed. Finally, someone that isn't making death threats at someone else and actually agrees with me! I also like games for their story and I can see why people got pissed at the ending. I mean, sure I'd settle for a not-so-happy-but-still-somehow-good ending, but if Ragna's gonna die at least give him something climactic just for satisfaction. That's probably the only way people aren't going to be upset if he were to leave the series.

I've seen and studied about stuff like this before. Whenever a series for anything ends on that note, it's usually designed to be a cliffhanger to make viewers have high expectations that need to be satisfied. Whether Mori did this or not I know for certain that it's not game over, man. Not  gma over.

Just a bit of theorising:

So even IF Ragna does return, there's no undoing the memory wipe thing and we're probably never gonna see Celica again becuase she's staying dead this time around. Well, assuming that what RinSoka and Yoshirocks92 are both correct in that Ragna returns with a smaller role, what would happen? If Nu got her memories back, then God save us all... It could be sweet instead of ummmmmmm...... graphic aaaaaannnnnd creepy, as Nu usually treats everything with Ragna in that regard, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Now then, anyone need a drink? It's on me. Except you Hollow, you go was your mouth out.
