Factions Finale

What did all you think of the ending of factions after beating the game.I thought it was the best part of the game.When we got our special weapons anyway it was the best part.it had the felling of a movie to it when the credits rolled at the end with the sombre mood f someone death but gong out as a hero once agian and walking the devine path really felt like being in a movie.It would of been nice if Prophecies were like this.I never have siad it but good going Anet and Ncsoft.

The end of GW:F was amazing. I loved it. Emperor Travolta FTW!

clarianaeneas · May 29, 2006, 09:08 PM // 21:08

Yeah, I liked it alot too. You get a real sense of accomplishment, instead of just glint saying "ok..you saved the world, but OMG RUN a volcano is gonna kill you!" and then going back to Droknar's Forge.

Profecies had a semi-open ended ending, so it can't really be the same. The conflict isn't quite resolved at the end; you still have hordes of Titans rampaging through all of Tyria, Ascalon is still over-run with charr, and the scepter of Orr dissappears in the last cutscene. Although the Titan quests did take care of one of these things.

yeah, I loved the ending to, all these ppl clapping etc...

Mustache Mayhem · May 29, 2006, 09:13 PM // 21:13

yeah I caught the clap running to the palace.. I think it was a good ending- the pheonix looks like a chicken though

Chinese origin Phoenix not your Harry Potter looking Phoenix.

If only you knew what that meant where I come from.

Anyway, Factions ending was better than Prophecies - much more satisfying.

Yes yes, they wasted time doing that nice ending just so our faction points can only be used for 2 things, and 2 things only.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but to the OP's post.. So?

It is just an ending, of absolutely zero consequence with the rest of the game.

Kitty · May 29, 2006, 10:29 PM // 22:29

accutally, I find the end...boring. The clapping people are a nice touch, but well, that's about it. I have the feeling they're hiting you with tones of items and stuff you can get, so you don't notice the short game and crappy story-ending.

Its not over, i bet a new Glint like quest will be added, kill the super shiroken still around

Totally agree, the first time I finished the game I didnt realise there was a whole area with people behind the folks that give you the greens, so I went back and finished the game again (ie beat Shiro) just to enjoy it.

Definitely a worthy ending for once.

Do you really have to whine in every damn thread here how crappy you think Factions is? We get i now, ok?
This thread is about the ending as compared to Prophecies and even you cannot deny its a lot better done then the end of Prophecies.

I like the ending of Factions better than Prophesies as well. My only problem is that the last mission (killing shiro) is so easy :-/ I would have preferred more of a challenge on the last mission.

Donut Zeke · May 30, 2006, 12:40 AM // 00:40

I guess I'm the oddball on this one, but I liked the open-ending of Prophecies. It showed that the world would never be perfect. Factions, while I love the game, was like everything is going to be perfect and happy forever!

MMSDome · May 30, 2006, 01:04 AM // 01:04

it was pretty cool and it was nice to be rewarded and be recognized for beating the game, rather then getting shipped back to southern shiverpeaks with nothing but a thanks. BTW i didnt get the ending credits on any of my characters...

Mistress Mindbender · May 30, 2006, 01:10 AM // 01:10

The end game items were no more than disapointing.

It seems like they made the warrior, and assassin weapons, got bored... made the ranger and then abandoned all attempts at originallity and made the caster ones, all the same names, graphics, ect. And there are no staves, which a lot of us hoped we would get.

The straw voodoo doll... enough said.

Total Rogue · May 30, 2006, 01:14 AM // 01:14

i agree with mistress mindbender, which is why only my ranger and warrior will be getting endgame greens... my casters will recieve nothing (well maybe endgame armor...)

demon dantes · May 30, 2006, 01:30 AM // 01:30

the ending was ok but the greens that drop from the boss s through out the game are so much better then what we get when we beat the game.

KamikazeChicken · May 30, 2006, 01:45 AM // 01:45

I'd just like to know how all those level 20 NPCs wouldn't have been able to take on Shiro. >.> I feel used.

Ken Dei · May 30, 2006, 02:20 AM // 02:20

I really liked the ending....you "earned" the 15k armor, the endgame green...and you felt like a Hero. You saved Cantha and know it.

Deepjay · May 30, 2006, 02:38 AM // 02:38

Ending was a really nice touch, and unexpected.

It's a shame the voice acting all the way up to this point was absolutely horrible, i mean, cringe-worthy. It's funny how none of the reviews have pointed this out, im guessing they didnt play the game long enough to have to endure them. The prophecies voice acting wasnt stellar either, but cained the factions effort. Funny how a little thing like this can make the quality of those mission cutscenes very very average, opposed to good(like the prophecies one) - 2c!
