BoF 2 Epi. 183: The Sad Ending

This is the ending you get without the Flying Township. Ryu realizes that Deathevan is just sleeping, and will come back some day. He turns into a dragon and blocks the gates to Infinity like his mother did.

Until about 5 minutes ago, I always thought this was the only ending in the game...

In fact, this is by far my favorite ending. I don't like the good ending or the bad ending. (Though the bad ending is actually kinda freaky. :P )

[Floyd5642]

@griggins Yeah, that bad ending is pretty terrifying.

[zambar]

Wait...if his left hand was in the picture of him as a dragon...that means he's not covering the other doors...

[Floyd5642]

I think it is far enough over so that it covers the door.

[Sylocat]

Um, we found his dad, but not his sister? What happened to her?

[Floyd5642]

Your sister is Patty the Thief. She knows a lot about the dragon and all of that.

This really is one of the saddest games I've ever played. I was 9 in '94 and bawled my eyes out because the story/plot of BoF II felt so real even tho it's a fantasy game. It truly is one of the best RPG stories, every character is so 3-dimensional, and there's so many decisions Ryu has to make throughout the game that you really get into it.

I'd like to think that the best ending (which I eventually got in my 2nd playthru) is the real one in my mind. But the other 2 are so sad they bother me.

[ActionCarl]

this is the best ending

@zambar Couldn't they just put any object in front? I mean the dragon is fine, a flying town is fine, so just build a wall. It's just a game, but Spar would find it illogical.

@starttape The story to this game is definitely memorable.My first time getting this ending, it was Nina who ran back to Ryu. Her reaction and what she said to him, I thought, was deep and touching. I believe she loved the guy. I didn't realize it until this point, and it left me in shock because she's usually quiet through most of the game. I wasn't expecting her to break down like that.

[magallon0000]

i cried during this ending man, and the music made it even worse...but what a fucken great game!!!

@randomnumbers8009 Speaking of Myria, BoF3 mostly portrays her like she's good until the end when Yggdrasil's comments through Peco indicate she's just deceiving everybody, but it makes me question the characters sanity. Actually even more so, since in previous games she granted evil wishes and sicked a demon on the world as revenge. Deathevn seems to be nuts to, talking as if the world should WANT to be destroyed.

[randomnumbers8009]

@solidus927 But if that were so, where'd Deathevn go? BoF3's Ryu reminds me more of the original games Ryu and BoF3's big bad turns out to be Myria again, who I think isn't so much pure evil as totally bonkers.

[randomnumbers8009]

@starttape I was always upset that I couldn't save Tiga and Claris ;_;

[operations1000]

Katt was fricken pissed, I knew she really like Ryu all along and not Tiga :P

[andoc]

@griggins Same for me, this is the only ending I ever got, and I played through the game a few times.
