Throughout its long and prestigious history, the Final Fantasy series has always pushed the needle on what players could expect from video games in terms of storytelling, and its endings have been no different. Whether their players are treated to a happy ending where the world is saved and the villain vanquished, something more ambiguous and bittersweet, or a tearful wrap-up (where the only way to stop crying is to go outside to listen to the birds sing, watch the children play, and a few hours of therapy), each game makes those closing moments feel special.
