The book closing is a cliche.
Celes character arc sucks “I don’t need to depend on anyone anymore” mf you’re a general of the imperial army, feels like Beatrix in FFIX was an apology for how much they squandered the opportunity with celes.
Just wasn’t anything satisfying for me, after the enormous bombast of the game, the ending is just a book closing, like seemed very phoned in.
And for the record my favorite endings are IV, VII, IX
