I just watched the ending cutscenes for XIII-2 a few days ago. Dunno why, as I usually try not to watch them too much to keep building up suspense for when you "earn" them in another playthrough.

And damn, so good... It's so epic. The music, the emotions of the characters, the story. A shame that so many people hate the premise of the ending (although most people think of the final CG scene in that aspect).

It's a constant reminder of what FF manages to do, whether one likes the overall direction or not. Gah, but you really do end up feeling bad for everyone involved with that ending, lol. Right from the good guys to the bad guys.
