Look, I let all the philisophical rubbish slide throughout the game and still managed to enjoy it, until the end.
I really don't get it. Chopin went mad thinking he was in a dream, and Polka decideds to end it all for...well, I just label her as mentally disturbed. And the credits? Very, very creepy. I can't believe I'm watching this stuff. Holy crap.
The ending just felt like a cop-out with more philosophy bull. Someone please let me know I'm not alone in this.
Yeah, to be honest it didn't make a whole lot of sense to me either. But it kinda looks like that Chopin also existed as a different being inside his head, because the world inside his head had a life of its own and did not need Chopin's existance to keep on existing? At least I got that much.
Just don't ask me about Polka being the one to end all darkness, and old Polka with weird tree and time loops with polka's mother.
I think that, in the end, all I could really gather was: "so, I killed Chopin as a last boss in a game. I am complete".
It was a while ago, so I can't really remember my exact thoughts, but I think I was pretty confused. All I remember is that Chopin all of the sudden threw a hissy-fit and Polka jumped off a cliff...
I couldn't stand this game to be honest. It's an insulting way to portray Chopin's final moments and the melodrama overshadows the potential the story had.
I completely forgot about that. That was needlessly drawn out.
Didn't realize that I hadn't actually finished the credits when I wrote this. The ending's ending somewhat makes up for the rest of the ending. Chopin at the piano, playing mysteriously for the rest of time.
Still doesn't make much sense to me, but philosophy hardly ever does.
I was very confused by the ending. A lot of the scenes are needlessly dramatic too. According to what I heard, the PS3 version not only has extra content but a re-written story as well. I also heard the ending was changed. Some people claim that version's story makes more sense.
