So I've completed Final Fantasy IX, and I must say the ending to this game is probably one of my favorite endings I've ever seen to a game. The whole scene with Garnet running through the crowd and jumping into Zidane's arms was phenomenally directed and had a very powerful emotion to it that really made playing to the end of the game worth every second spent playing it. Steiner and Beatrix holding up the sword above them to reflect the sunlight and the crowd going wild just made the scene even more incredible.

Not to mention all the scenes prior to the final scene. The Lifa Tree scene with Kuja becoming a tragic character and Vivi's narration all made the ending that much more potent.

What are your thoughts on the ending?
