FINDING PARADISE - Ending & Credits

[@lorenzoguerrero7520]

I think one of the best things that happened in the death scene was the one for one shot of Sophia and Colin's final moment together. Sophia kissed the dying Colin while Colin kissed the memory of a sleeping Sophia. The piano in the background slowly going in sync with the telemeter. It ends with a cello replacing the flatline that we expect. It signifies that Colin has now left us.

[@Pivotcong2000]

Colin wants to find the paradise where he has no regrets in his life. By the end of it, he learned that his life is perfect with all the imperfections. Paradise is right there all along. And the only regret he ever had is coming to Sigmund Corp in the first place.

[@s.o.4339]

Hiring Sigmund Corp was worth the price to learn that lesson just in time, I'd say.

[@alexanfung]

in part of making Sofia and Asher sad, yes but even Faye admit that Neil really understands her and Colin, and help her fix Colin's last memory to erase the Sigmund Corp's presence in his life.

[@SilminaIDV]

"And what I do have, I wouldn't trade for anything else in the world." I admit. I cried. So hard. Dammit 😢😢

[@mohammadosmanriaz6237]

Life is short, but long enough to find paradise..

[@leoncabalista5496]

It only depends to the person if he/she wants to find it but me well..... I've given up to find it because I don't want to find it.....if you're wondering why it's kind of personal!!

[@alinahlamis783]

*"...Thank you for having been there, even when nobody else was."* Damn, I dunno why but that line always gets me, especially when it's followed by the sound of a bird flapping its wings. ;-;

[@Tarkir]

Have you played A Bird Story?

[@bainbonic]

When I first played Finding Paradise, it didn't affect me as much as To The Moon did. But over time, it's stuck in my mind and now it makes my cry harder than To The Moon.

[@SilminaIDV]

Well, imo FP is more, much much more realistic than TtM. TtM was, well, a tearjerker for those who are optimistic and enthusiast in this life. FP, however, affect the more experienced people. That is, those who already experience how hard this life is. As for me, I like FP better than TtM. I didn't even cry at TtM tbh, but this, well, this is a trainwreck

[@powerfulberry237]

To the Moon is more tragic but less relatable FP sticks with us

[@PyroPisces]

I had tears in my eyes throughout most of the ending but the scene at 7:30 had me bawling. It was, for me, the most emotional part of the game. The music is beautiful, it feels almost nostalgic for some reason. Like looking back on a memory from long ago, a moment you would give anything to have just one more time. And I really loved how the left side has a warmer tone because it's meant to be a little happier, while the right side has a cold tone to it because of the events taking place. Everything about that scene gets to me but it's one of my favorites.

[@Ronkario]

I cried a lot when this scene appeared i honestly was didn't expecting this to happen, in the same time as colin's wife hug him, he kissed her in the bed basically saying the last goodbye.

[@boyuanchen4997]

Kan Gao really knows how to explore humans' emotional bounds! Even when life is filled with regrets, we can still find peace and beauty in our relationship with others and ourselves. Great job on both To The Moon and Finding Paradise. These two games literally expanded my understanding of visual art.

[@mordredd]

"thank you for having been there, even when nobody else was"; F U C K, i'm not crying, i'm not cryi... ;_;

[@HyLion]

Beginning of the game: Let the feels start! I'm ready! Middle of the game: I didn't cry yet... is this as good as To The Moon? Do I still have feelings? Ending of the game: Answer for the middle of the game... *sob* yes... it IS as good, answer for the beginning of the game... No... *sob* I wasn't ready at all... *sob*

[@Christophee1987]

Colin's last line with Faye, the sound of flapping wings, then the simultaneous moments with Sofia at the end. It gets me every time I watch it.

[@Grimreaper2612]

The singer has one of the sweetest voices I've ever heard

[@FlowerEmblem]

She has a channel, and her own game was released same year (Rakuen) - Laura Shigihara :)

[@quirkyusername1093]

You've probably heard her before without knowing it, she's present in numerous games, MVs etc.

[@elle_khearts]

I just noticed.. after they're done talking on the balcony, you can hear Faye "flying away" :'(( I'm not okay

[@__Vengeance__]

What a nice observation! I missed it in my first watch.

[@Rinza12345]

It is sad and all, but you guys know Colin is basically saying thanks to himself at the end. Faye is just a part of him. There really was no one there, never, he was alone with his brain. That’s crazy, and sad too, but mainly crazy.

[@EroticOnion23]

What you never had an imaginary friend or a toy teddy bear, etc that you imagined life to?? Colin just took it one step further because he was awkward socially at school and his parents were never home...

[@victorcrazy4557]

Colin and Watts would strongly disagrees with you.

[@Bamni]

Literaly when i played this i thought i couldnt cry that much. When this song started playing and the scenes started showing i litery burst into tears, never in my life have i cried this much.. Such a beautiful game and such joy i cant explain its so good i.. It was so damn emotional and i had to hold myself so i dont go full ugly cry i recommend it to anyone reading this its funny its entertaining and if you are a crybaby like me you will love playing this alone at 4 am in the morning

[@caution-monkey4603]

My parents didn't sign the permission slip for the feels trip. (/;~;)/

[@alinahlamis783]

For the first time ever, I didn't really cry at the life montage...but then Faye appeared and pretty much released the waterworks. *Ahhh... Kan, you got me again!* TT^TT

[@linksey]

"It's time to go home." Ouch

[@floundericiouswa5694]

Freebird games man. Ugly beautiful crying with a gorgeous soundtrack

[@shaneaycock9306]

I've never played this game, but the montage never felt so relatable! It just reminds us that we only have one life, and we have to cherish every last moment.

[@AtlasBlizzard]

This scene mirrors the scene in To the Moon where John's memories are changed... and when I realized that this time, nothing was different, it really hit me too. Colin's life was full of so much sadness, but ultimately it was a beautiful and happy life, and that's what he realizes before he dies. It's so beautiful.

[@NotJustAnotherAverageJoe]

The only thing they changed is that Sigmund was never introduced to Colin.

[@AtlasBlizzard]

@@NotJustAnotherAverageJoe Oh my god, I didn't pick up on that! That makes it even better. What a beautiful story and message.

[@rudrecciah]

very late to the party but with fp ive noticed something that i havent ever seen in any other games before even with no commentary i can still tell how sad you probably were based on how long it took between clicks

[@ambrose7196]

I have an ability. Once in a while, I'll vividly imagine the music from this scene playing. The parallel of the wife standing by her husband's deathbed and bidding farewell. And an old man walking up to his wife, kissing her forehead and saying goodbye. Then I'd get shivers just from thinking about it.

[@bobblehead7002]

I remember watching a playthrough of this game and I was like oh wow that's sad, but didn't make me cry like To the Moon did, BUT I bought this game and then played it myself and it was an absolute waterworks :')

[@michieltom9988]

I promised myself not to cry while playing this game.... But it didn't work and I cried like a baby.

[@Lanzfeld]

At the end, dr wattz got a copy of faye for his own machine to work for sigmund perfectly ... Lol

[@Bartlebycs]

I REALLY want this to happen! Faye was such an amazing character. Maybe he uploaded her into the databanks to let her help him with whatever he's doing.

[@watertommyz]

I think he's trying to perfect the machine to do what it already does, but with an AI, so that the doctors no longer have to enter themselves. Or perhaps, it's a solution to the Protestors from the Holiday special, in order to make it more friendly.

[@ethicalapemen3686]

This is something else, possibly way out of our leagues. Faye is a mental process which gained sentience. Whatever Neil's working on, it's going to be mind-blowing at the very least.

[@mordredd]

So, at the end all he wanted Faye to get his mother memories that were encrypted ;_;

[@Post_Stall_Maneuver]

(SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 3 AHEAD LOL) Actually on the spot. Neil copied Faye right before they cut the Memory Editor's connection to Colin. He would use her as an assistant in using his late mother's memory data she copied at some point before she died due to her giving birth to Neil causing her genetic neurological disorder to go malignant and kill her just a few years after his birth, the same condition would then be passed on to Neil (hence his medication in To the Moon and Finding Paradise). Neil entered Sigmund with the intention of accessing the Memory Editor, which would give him access to his mother's memory data. Neil would run simulations of his mother's memory data, until Faye would give his mother and father Quincy (Quincy is still alive: all data of him were based on Lynri's memories) a final perfect ending before Neil would shut down all the simulations (also sending RosaWatts shippers insane).

[@RavenSquad88]

I'm a grown up 31 years old bearded guy and I cried like a little boy. Stop that, Kan, I'm serious.

[@Okuraio]

The part when Colin says about his regrets break me everytime i watch this ending.

[@panlis6243]

It's funny how without Faye Colin would never meet Sofia

[@duwod3246]

Well.. let‘s say, I cried my eyes away.. or something like that ._.

[@dee_jeh]

I think the common misconception is that people will try not to cry That is not the point of the game You locked yourself for feeling and experiencing what is in the game

[@Jmsae]

His memories without Faye (happy memories with his family) didn't have any regrets

[@misterkrogan8837]

This is the most beautiful game ever.

[@misterkrogan8837]

@Fenn Byers I have played all of the freebird games now. I really enjoyed them. 🙂

[@yellowflash6176]

That's so sad that is end of his life

[@rebb9890]

Feh... I know that I can never be that succesfull dad or good husband in the end cause of a LOT Issues and Sins... Just hope I leave some good memory for my son and wife in the end.

[@elynna2483]

2021, anyone here?

[@mitsukai7192]

Me! All kinds of theories now that the Imposter Factory trailer has dropped. Main one being that we will see Faye again. Neil is dying, so he copied her data and is tweaking the machine to help him survive digitally. The first two games did really happen, but our playthroughs have all been memory simulations. At the end of Sigmund Minisode 2, we see Eva using the machine in an apartment, and a second helmet on the couch. I think Eva has been working through Neil's memories, including their cases together, to help fulfill his last wish.

[@elynna2483]

@@mitsukai7192 Yeah, and also since Impostor Factory will come out at September, 30 in wishlist Steam, which isn't really that far from now. Let's get ready for it, can't wait!

[@brn2pil928]

@@mitsukai7192 Sounds right, I won't be sad with this theory. Edit: Nvm, I just realized that Neil could be dead, and Eva is trying to finish the wish. :( Initially I thought Neil finished it to leave something for Eva

[@Christophee1987]

2023 here. I just rewatched LPs of all the games and they affected me so much more this time than before for some reason. I can't stop watching videos like this and listening to the soundtrack.

[@doe126]

so Dr. Watts created Faye given the scene at the end? Or what is that all about?

[@The_Girth]

He basically "saved" her personality/conscience. She became self aware and in the universe of TtM and FP its an anomaly so he had the idea to make a back up of her. Its assumed he did this to try and streamline what the doctors do for the patients considering how god Faye was at working the system.
