[@CallingBlueBird]

These are what I think the lyrics are: Boots on an endless virgin-white canvas I come to my senses on a cold new morning Open my eyes on the world o' without hope without pain I'm alone in a world full of turmoil and strife but I'm alive and I know I'll survive I will make it The stage set for greatness with no audience to witness the cast take their place raise the curtain and let the drama unfold all told we'll be glad that we got to play open my eyes take a stand On the road that will lead me into the dawn I don't know where it will take me to but I know I'm alive and I will make my way make my choice I finally see that I'm finally free see me, hear me take my hand i will follow you if you will follow me I'm not alone here

[@kohaiame2691]

This comment should really be pinned. Also, I want to point out how the lyrics sound like they might be from the main pawn's point of view.

[@shaekocelot]

@@kohaiame2691 I agree with your pawn theory.

[@TheStraightestWhitest]

This absolutely feels like it was written from the perspective of the Arisen's main pawn after the events of the post game where they got their free will. Starts off in a world "without hope, without pain", like they're searching for the Arisen. The world is saved, but the pawn is directionless. First time they make their own choices. All they have is "I'm alive, I will make my way." Like a human. Like their master. But at the end, it's "See me, hear me, take my hand. I will follow you if you will follow me. I'm not alone here." Feels like they reunited with the Arisen. Except this time on more equal footing. Okay yeah they're probably both dead, but let me dream, okay? This song is beautiful. Couldn't be more fitting if it tried.

@@kohaiame2691 It can't be, the word "Ladder" is missing from the lyrics. Everyone knew its their favorite word.

[@Hyankinthos]

Just finished the game today and when this song played and the entire sequence before it, it had just broke me and I was crying for a game for the first time in forever. I had built a bond with my pawn seeing funny moments, frustrating moments, and impressive moments with the team work that had occurred during my game. One of my absolute favorite moments in this game was something my pawn had said out of the blue. She was asked by another pawn "you have more scars than the usual pawn, your journey must be hard fought" and she responded "each scar is a memory shared with my master, all of which I treasure". That one quote is what ran through my mind when, at the final scene, she said that she had gain a will, lesser than my own. Little does she know, that the memories that I shared with her is something I will treasure for the rest of my life.

[@UltraHorseBoots]

I wish the game could have pushed it's theme better throughout the game, rather than backloading it all into monologues on the back of dragons, while I do appreciate the "eureka" moment when entering NG+ and realizing that the opening quote is quite literally spelling out the narrative theme to you once you have the knowledge of the story told. It's all about "will" leading to "conviction" to granting the power needed to cause a miracle as grant as cutting your entire world out of the stagnate cycle the Great Will put upon you. I think the theme could have been better realized if the main story presented more tests of conviction leading up to the fight with the dragon. But I do think it was cool when entering the unmoored world and you have a chance to talk to these people the script of cycle presented as villains and now with everyone able to talk freely in the absence of this cycle in this ruined world you realize that just like with the Arisen, everyone has been testing their own convictions to try their best to create a better future in a world that has been prevented from having a future. Dena just wanted to create a kingdom for her son to prosper as king. Phaesus is already aware of the cycle and has been dedicating his entire life to trying to break it through any means necessary in a world where he should be divorced from agency of the cycle as a mere mortal and not an arisen. It's an awful world where not even pawns are allowed to become human anymore, like they could in DD1. They just turn into dragons once they develop willpower and the game as a mechanic encourages you to essentially lobotomize their pawns in the rift (usually by tossing them into the brine which you now know is your direct enemy.) Saving everyone in the unmoored world and creating a new world free of the cycle for them to live in is a miracle built off the backs of all the leading players in the world. It's only by the will and conviction of the arisen, the leaders of bakbattahl, the leaders of Vernworth, and of course even your pawn (who even gets to create a miracle all on their own if you didn't kill the talos fast enough and your pawn gets to pilot it against one of the brine beasts by moonglit tower.) And I just think to cap that journey off with this song is just overall something beautiful. I think the game still has many flaws, frustratingly alot of similar flaws to the original. I think the overall narrative was rather poor, and the rules of the unmoored world unclear (and also underutilized, I think the game could have better served giving the player more main story quests to do before the end within the unmoored world, if at the very least to better explore the themes of the game and give more time to interacting with these characters who were forced to be 1 dimensional due to the nature of the cycle they were initially trapped in.) But I think when you take the time to really reflect on the theme of conviction, it does lead to greater appreciation to what little story we got. Conviction is truly human will that reaches its greatest power, and the conviction of this game's world was truly great indeed to grant us the first actual win over the Great Will in the series. (Unless DDO did something I guess)

[@Zero-hm5bm]

Well, if you manage to get your main pawn's affinity high enough, then ending is just gonna hit much harder, when they said all those nice things in the end scene ;(

How did they pull it off to make me so attached to these damn pawns man. For like 70+ Hours my main pawn was just some silly dude who loved opening chests, giving useless junk to the other pawns as gifts and throwing me in the air in the middle of combat at the most inconvenient times... but this ending scene hit so hard man. I didn't realize how deep it could cut. Truly a remarkable game.

[@cabellocorto5586]

"Yet for your sake I would fain relinquish all that I have... All that I am!" For some reason, it took two playthroughs for me to really appreciate this ending. I wasn't sure how I felt about it the first time. But when your pawn monologues to you, when you see all the NPCs that you helped along your journey, it really feels like the end of a grand one.

[@Ito_Kuragari]

So, ive played DD2 twice now. My first run through wasnt the true ending so i thought it was pretty meh, but now that i just beat it the true ending. I almost cried, shit was too much for me. Cant believe i had a stronger emotional attachment and connection to a in-game character than people i actually know irl. Imagine if the song was sung by your pawn's VA in the ending credits. 😭

[@ugmo0722]

If you think about it the song is supposed to be sung from your pawn’s perspective if you look at the lyrics

[@Aihkiko]

This song is so beautiful.

[@olco444]

I just finished the True ending and let me tell you, the lyrics has such a deeper meaning after finishing the game it brought tear to my eyes. The true meaning of dragon's dogma indeed

[@ashwolf2006]

this song hit's even harder if you 100% the whole story. seeing all the npc's you've helped through out your journey alive and living their lives. and them remembering your arisen and their pawn and finally, finally the last scene in where your chosen love interest is standing on a field looking beyond the horizon just makes it better. DD's Story is actually really sad if you think about it, the Arisen are nothing more than the watcher's pawn's in where they are nothing more than a means of sick entertainment for their sick game of never ending cycle. not to mention all of the people the arisen and their pawn encounters, have already had their fate sealed thanks to the watcher controlling everyone, it's only when the arisen's intervention that broke them free from a linear destiny.

[@wayatvideos2142]

The watcher is the mouth piece of the game’s director. Just as the Arisen is the player’s. In that case, you too partake in the cycle for amusement. It’s a really meta story. I love it.

[@ugmo0722]

Strangers of paradise final fantasy origin is basically this plot kinda

[@evilmar2363]

and even when you do break the cycle you and your pawn arent there to see it

[@makara204]

I haven't shed tears for a video game's ending since Dragon Age Origins.

[@Jonymago]

I think the reason a lot of us feel so deeply about our Main Pawns is because they're not only created in the shape of who we desire the most as well as our ideal companion but also the game reinforces that they have no will, they're an empty vessel that follows you around, but your main pawn is special, they're the one who the player created and as such we hold a soft spot for them. The ending only makes it better because it feels like our beloved companion is finally becoming Human, only to sacrifice themselves, sacrificing the little time they had a Will for us "Oh Master... Such joy I feel. You have given me a gift beyond measure: a fledgling will that burns within my breast. Yet for your sake, I would fain relinquish all I have... All that I am. Master.."

[@sunpermo-ri5194]

My pawn is such a hero, I will always remember that one scene where we saved everyone. They really did a great job writing scenario for the true ending.

[@FlowerKnight2]

I cried... my poor sweet pawn, why? It was MY turn to save you....

[@fable23]

You know, it's funny. I didn't really think I had much attachment to the world of DD2. But as I watched the true ending, saw the world my Arisen fought so hard for flourishing despite his absence, even as the characters whose lives he touched quietly mourned him... it got to me. Sven being a kind and just ruler, honestly far better as a Sovran than I would've been. Wilhemina finally letting go of the past. Hugo staring up at the stars as a free and honest man. And my "beloved" turned out to be Sara the blacksmith of all people. I was shocked at first, I didn't do her quest until very late in the game. But in retrospect, it made sense; I changed her life. And her escort mission was always fairly short, so I always made time for it. We went on so many little walks together... of course she would miss me. And my Pawn. My brave boy. To learn what it means to be free, to have a will of your own, and then to give that up anyway of your own volition... your sacrifice was the most noble of them all. I didn't think much of the story of this game until I beat it. And then I realized how deeply it had wormed its way into my heart.

[@wolfdogdav]

just beat the game live on my stream. i had to mute myself because i cried hard when this song came up. i bonded with my pawn like many others, as well as bonded with others' pawns. i played the first Dragon's Dogma when I was a young teenager, and now i'm going to be 30 this year. in the first, i played as myself to escape the real word and imagine myself some kind of hero. my pawn from there was who i played as in Dragon's Dogma 2, and to see his free will be saved by my pawn who looked similar to myself hit me so very hard. i never thought i'd live to see this game. i'm so, so glad i did. i survived, and i'm going to keep trying to live, even if there is no one to see me do so.

When I saw Beastren as a race I knew I was going to make my best bud my Pawn. My lil' cat Blu is my favorite guy. And as a pawn he was the sweetest. Always reminding other pawns to be kind and to trust in me. We'd play catch with boars. He was with me the entire time. That cutscene had me catchin' thorns in my throat trying to hold back the tears. Then it hits me with the frame of him and days together underneath. I had to take a moment and just hug it out with his IRL counterpart. Amazing game. Loved every moment and will be going through again to 100% it.

[@wispfire2545]

I wonder how many people are wondering about Dragon's lot in the perpetual cycles of Dragon's Dogma. I mean, think about the Dragon. It has wings. Wings are probably the most universal symbols of freedom, because the open skies defy the drawn borders across lands. The Dragon should not have to care about anything limiting it, and yet... here it is, here it always is. Always causing calamity, always choosing a champion to slay it or be slain by it. When you fly to the field of battle where you and the Dragon would decide the fate of the world, the Dragon muses on the world's and it's own natures. It knows how this world works and it wishes for the world to end, why else guide the Arisen to thinking about a world "not shrouded by false benevolence"? The truth I think is; the Dragon is as much, if not even more enslaved by Dragon's Dogma than the rest of the world. It want's something real to happen, something free from Dragon's Dogma. The fact that the Dragon can freely fly over brine infested sea, yet cannot fly across it to anywhere else but towards the battle field, is the cruelest joke of all. The mightiest of beasts, reduced to a barking dog on a leash that's tied around it's very mind. And yet, even enslaved as the Dragon is, even it knows what freedom is and it desires it. If it can't change fate, then Maybe the Arisen could.

[@Makenshi179]

Well said, that's exactly it. The Dragon tells the Arisen that they want the same thing... to break the cycle and see the truth. The Dragon was a tool created to be a part of the cycle... The Dragon is, quote, "oblivion". It is the counterpart to creation, destruction. For the cycle to loop and start again, either the Arisen must fail to protect the world either the Dragon/destroyer of worlds must be slain. Either way the loop keeps repeating with a new Arisen and new Dragon. But when the Arisen strayed from the path to see the truth, and killed the Pathfinder/Watcher who had his own Dragon to help him destroy that failure of a world "off its tracks"... then that sad end was "unwritten", and there was a happy ending. "Normal" sea has appeared without the kraken, and that old man could sail to the sea as he always wanted. Now I wonder... what is on the other side of the sea?

I don't know what people are talking about when they claim the OST is bad. It's much more dynamic and is also has a lot more variety.

[@vedrisca]

I think it comes down to the audio mixing and mastering of the OST. On paper End of the Struggle is about the same as the one in DD1 (sans electric guitar, but I don't think the electric guitar was used until the Cockatrice fight), but then you'll notice that the brass section feels a bit more tinny (they employ more trumpets for the main melody than trombones and French horns; DD1's version uses trumpets as only an accompaniment and the composition is more well-rounded with the drums having more bass and reverb from being recorded in a concert hall). DD2's OST feels like it was recorded in a studio without a live orchestra, which might be the case since it was in development for 5 years (starting 2019, releasing 2024). Quarantine would have made the logistics of a live orchestra impossible at the time.

[@TheStraightestWhitest]

People's minds are too small for classical music. It's one of the hardest music types to understand.

[@2HandHangerDunksOnly]

@@TheStraightestWhitest oh yeah? Compare DD2’s music to Rachmaninov’s piano concertos and tell me again that DD2’s music isn’t mediocre, it’s just “hard to understand” They obviously had to skimp on some aspects of the game and the music got the short end of the stick

[@simpleryoma]

​@TheStraightestWhitest I really wouldn't say that, it's just the music just honestly feels generic at times. DD1 had way more variety imo compared to DD2. This ending theme slaps but overall a lot of the music is disappointing.

[@TheStraightestWhitest]

@@simpleryoma ''DD1 had way more variety imo compared to DD2.'' This is actually what I mean. You don't know what you're talking about. You hear a violin and think ''It's the same'' no matter how it's used.

[@MenrvaS]

Back in DD1, they were already trying to make you feel for your pawn more than the NPCs. For most people, their main pawns are the reflection of their ideal partners, friends, or love ones. People already feel attached to their main pawns since the beginning. On top of that is the bond they developed over the course of their journey. DD2 took that idea and made it far greater than it already was. They even hide the fact that your pawn now has hidden affinity based on how you treated them. That also influences their interactions with you and the true ending cutscene. This is the greatest companion system ever created with a fitting narrative to go along with it. It really made you feel for something that’s supposed to be a disposable tool. And if you are a DD1 vet with a stable main pawn? You will love them even more.

[@RallForeman]

I think it's fantastic the ending credits scene changes very much so to who's quest line's you finished helping them along the way. I can't wait for the DLC in this game, hopefully that add the Dwarf's hidden away on the top left of the map or something of the such, or a whole new area. Fantastic game and glad I waited so long to finish it not once but twice to get The Hero Achievement.

@@ThisisSigma200 Don't they say Rothais became Seneschal but shirked his duty by founding Vermund and ruling the land instead of the world, and this threw the world into turmoil? We don't know what Pathfinder is, but he seems to be a different entity than a Seneschal. I think it's likely Pathfinder stepped in to fill the role of Seneschal, but he himself didn't fully understand what that meant, so instead of finding someone to become arisen and succeed him, he kept finding someone to become arisen and *rule the land*. Rothais also mentions that the one who watches (pathfinder?) kept sending arisen to try and kill him, meaning Pathfinder was at one point likely trying to restore the cycle to its original state by having someone succeed Rothais.

I dont care what anyone says I love this game and ive never cared for story in games but I enjoyed this one and ending made it all the more fullfilling 🙏🏾

Capcom continuing the trend of banger credit songs

[@MaxVermillionify]

Finished the game. Don't know if the Arisen or the pawn lives or not, so im going to assume they're alive. But regardless. This game is amazing. Just as amazing as the first one despite it's flaws.

[@scottb9231]

I hope so too. Im coping

[@meanfree]

Judging from the scene, our pawn was crushed by the dragon/pathfinder, and your body was penetrated by the thingy coming out of the dragon's heart, so chances are both did not make it. Although theoretically, as long as the Arisen lives, their pawn should be immortal. But who knows, I'm also coping to see us and our pawn reunited in the new world for the DLC to join the old man at the beach side for a new adventure :).

[@Tizi1999]

It would be much more meaningful if our character dies. Consider this: You trumped the will of god in spite of your own demise.

[@MaxVermillionify]

@@Tizi1999 They did that in dragon's dogma one. But I can see what you mean....still wish the true ending wasn't so much of a cliffhanger where it leaves you confused on whether they live or not.

[@Tizi1999]

Kind of. You did not break the cycle in DD1 if I remember correctly, considering that you fight your own arisen in NG+.@@MaxVermillionify

Mon pion m'avais dit que peut importe le choix que je prendrais il serais avec moi jusqu'à la fin ... comment est ce possible qu'un jeux sois aussi réaliste de possibilitées... ♥️♥️♥️ l'amour et la volonté sont les pouvoirs qui façonne véritablement le monde malgré les ténèbres qui l'entoure.

[@ExtendedRVGM]

Je viens de finir le jeu aujourd'hui après 102 heures je ne m'attendais pas à ce que mon pion reprenne sa forme d'humain à la fin et me remercie du voyage. C'est vraiment une fin touchante. Je suis content de voir un commentaire en dessous de cette vidéo.

[@Here4loki]

Irma. My main pawn. Once an archer, then a sorcerer, then finally, a fighter. For 49 hours we explored Vernworth, Bathaal, and the volcanic island. She had a tapestry of scars, that she would love to talk about. She got knocked down countless times, but always ended up coming back. She bickered with the other pawns, and got ahead of herself all the time. She'd constantly climb on any large monster and toss small ones around any chance she got. She helped lead the evac effort, and helped me destroy every last beacon. Her will wasn't lesser at all, it was greater.

[@seriouslie9300]

The story overall is very okay-ish, The political intrigue fell kinda flat for me. But damn the true ending was really a surprise to me and that ending was really good. Really made me realize how much I like my pawn and got attached to her and I'm just going in NG+ just to goof around more with her. I'd love to see a story more focused on your adventures, the obstacles in your path to fight the dragon and how your pawn and yourself change because of it all. How you as a character/player shows resolve and will to go forth and fight the dragon despite adversity all while your pawn develops said will because of you. I believe that's where DD should focus its attention story wise if we (I hope) ever get a DD3 or an expansion for DD2...

[@TheStraightestWhitest]

I think the reason it hits so hard is precisely because it flew under the radar. We were focusing on everything and everyone other than our own main pawn. The story being meh for the most part makes the conclusion better. It's an actually well executed version of our true friend having been with us the entire time without us noticing. For us it was just going through the motions. For them, it was everything. They cherished it so much that it literally altered them, gave them free will. So when their first choice with that new will is to sacrifice themselves for our cause, it cuts deep because that's the first time you stop to think about their perspective.

Does anyone know the song/ost that comes right after this one in the credits? The one with the strings/violins? As I recall, it was played in one of the trailers.

Played with the same pawn since my new game in DDDA on Xbox One. I cried when i see the True ending ... Oh Mythriel ...

[@spectralassassin6030]

To the people complaining about the soundtrack. The music is fine. Even good. The only real problem with it is that it's following in the massive footsteps of the first game's soundtrack. Did you really expect them to be able to surpass it? That soundtrack was forged in tier 3 wyrmfire.

[@DrakeWindragon]

I mean, "into free" Is pretty hard to surpass. But i really like this one

Only Coils of Light comes close to this.

Idk they could have added that sick guitar they had in the first game to dd2's tracks and it would have solved every issue I've got with it

[@dial0562]

"I'm gonna take this entire world and restart it." "Wang Ling""Daily life of an immortal king" These were my exact thoughts when this ending hit.

This ending sequence was so fuckin phenomenal it almost made up for how otherwise weak I found the main quest line to be. Almost.

[@StabYourBrain]

to be fair, Dragon's Dogma has always been more about getting strong and defeat the dragon more than about a compelling mainstory that leads up to it. You could skip almost the entire main quest if you knew what to do ahead of time.
