I think they are the "real" endings that, in my opinion, should happen: Recognize that you killed her because you hated her for stealing your life and either move on with your life or accept that you can't live anymore with what you did and commit suicide. Maria ending looks like he is using her as a bandage for his phsicological issues and, let's say, it shows that he is weak and wants Mary back even though all that happened. I don't think my friend James Sunderland diserves to go through the same hell, he got through with Mary... I appreciate James too much... (Sorry for my bad english)

To anyone who wonders which is the real ending: According to SH4, James never left Silent Hill, ruling out the Leave and Maria endings. In Water is used as the ending of the novelization, and Guy Cihi (Jame's voice actor) and Masahiro Ito (the monster designer) both chose In Water as what they believe to be the ending of James' story. Of course, if aliens abducted James, nobody would have seen him again, thus giving the illusion he never left Silent Hill when he did in actuality. Just some food for thought.

Robin Powell Just because she said it, doesn't mean that's what he did. If you notice, all through the game James does crazy things just to get to mary. Jumping down bottomless holes, fighting monsters and shoving his hands in places they didn't belong. James didn't care about his life, all he wanted was Mary and without Mary, he had nothing left. Which would explain why he never truly cared for Maria, he took care of her because she looked like Mary but he never truly treated her like he did Mary. Someone below used the argument that "James said he'd never commit suicide", but come on, James was a super hypocrite, he looked at everyone else there almost as though they were crazy people and he was an innocent saint who was there to find his wife, when all along he was a murderer just like Eddie and angela.

the rebirth ending gives me the MOST chills bc it essentially shows a scenario where james has NOT accepted his sins despite ALL the shit the town had him go through so that he would. the game is LITERALLY all about making him face his darkness and accepting the consequences that come with it, whether that be overcoming the guilt/adopting laura (leave) or being overwhelmed by the guilt/suicide (in water). and yet here he is, not having learned a thing and completely getting lost in his darkness instead. i mean, he literally came face to face with his guilt personified (pyramid head), but he's so far off the deep end that all the lessons/realizations the town should have taught him didn't work at all. not to mention the fact that you can't get this ending without having beaten the game once.. making a replay of all the monsters and puzzles possibly feel mundane and monotonous.. which is how james would be feeling once he's decided to take the town on despite choosing not to accept this reality. after all, what good is a town trying to make him accept his murder of mary when he can just bring her back to life?? there are no lessons to be learned here, just annoying obstacles in the way of him and mary's "happy ending". and yet, the town is the only place that can offer him this "alternative" to facing what he's done. here is this sentient town personifying the things james fears the most so that he can accept his crime, but it's also the only place that can (possibly) help him undo this very same crime. it's pretty ironic. the rebirth and maria ending show that trying to keep mary in some capacity instead of coming to terms that he killed her will only lead to his downfall. in a way, those feel like the bad endings, while in water and leave feel like "good" endings (even if james dies), because he has fulfilled the town's purpose for him. the entire point of silent hill 2 is to help james come to terms with himself, and only leave/in water seem to show what that leads to: he can accept what he has done and live with that while raising laura to help redeem himself. or he can decide death is the only atonement for a crime that can't be forgiven. and ending where james hasn't learned a damn thing and continues the karmic cycle is the real horror.

With regards to the Maria Ending: You know what'd be really funny and ironic about this Ending? What if it's deliberately made out to foretell James repeating the same mistakes again but the opposite happens. What if Maria falls ill just like Mary and James runs for the pillow again. However, just as he is about to kill Maria he realizes that he's done this before. Perhaps this Ending isn't truly as bad as people think? Perhaps he stops himself and decides to see Maria out even if it means being at her side as she dies. Remember, regardless of whatever ending we get, the Pyramid Heads still kill themselves in acknowledgement of James learning his lesson after the dual PH battle. So even by choosing this Ending James has learnt something. Even with that sinister warning line at the end I cannot help but believe that James will not kill Maria. Perhaps she'll interrupt him as he's about to smother her and ask, "So, you're doing me in like your Mary?" And then he gives in and decides to spare her. As much as Leave Ending has James getting an innocent lil friend as redemption, Maria ending could offer a different kind of redemption. By repeating history over again and offering James the chance to literally stop himself from commiting the same heinous crime again. Too much speculation here.

Maria isn't real as she's a fantasma that James creates, so in the end he just continues to live in an illusion and he doesn't even really leave Silent Hill. And moreover he is in the loop according to that cough, so he doesn't leave his purgatory. I think that's the darker ending of all.

I think the leave ending is actually my favourite. After flipflopping back and forth between them all for a decade, I think it is because James admits the truth. He wanted her out of the way. He hated her for stealing his life. But he isn't happy even when he achieves this. He still can't let go. Finally he receives closure and gets told to move on with his life. That's very powerful, being told to continue living, even when you have made huge mistakes and no longer have your loved ones around. Recently I was seeing this Chinese girl recently, and things got very intense between us. I was thinking everything was moving forwards. I was with the girl of my dreams, starting my business up and everything. At the age of 30, my life was finally coming together. I was wanted and loved by somebody. Now I could stand with all the rest of my friends and prove that I wasn't a failure. I wasn't still that class clown who didn't amount to anything from school. But then she told me that she just wanted to be friends. This is after intense passion, after we'd talked about our future together and marriage, after basically falling for her. I couldn't understand it. It really spun me for a loop, and then the next week she was with some other guy, and I was all over the place. In a real dark place in my mind. I couldn't concentrate on anything. I thought God was telling me I was useless. It sounds stupid and is nothing compared to what other people go through in their life. But to me it just was like someone hit me with a hammer and the impact stayed with me for weeks. As well some of the money didn't come through for the business and it really seemed like it was going to completely fail. Anyway, at some point I realised I needed to move on with my life. I just wanted to post this after I heard Mary speak that line to James.

"In Water" is the best ending because it's the most depressing and really goes well with the theme of the games, it's what Silent Hill does to its victims. James was guilty and just wanted to kill himself, Silent Hill "lured" him back. "Leave" it's surely the most satisfying tho.
@iansilva74223 жыл бұрын
And along the game there's a lot of things that points that James do kill himself. (Probably before the game itself start) The dead body in front of the tv that looks exactly like him, the negation of doing it when he speaks with Angela, the same way he hid from himself the fact that he killed Mary, or that he hated her, etc. In my opinion, he commited suicide, and is now on Silent Hill as the others to get punished. And considering that Laura is dead too, the "Leave" ending is just their souls made it to moving on, and finally leaving that town (purgatory/limbo).

Leave is my favorite ending. I don't know why, it just is. In Water I find makes the most sense, logically, but......I just prefer Leave. James acknowledges his faults, accepts his sins, realizes he came to hate Mary and wanted her gone-- but still decides to live with it. Despite how much he wants to love Mary, despite how much he still holds in his heart he--tries to move on. Go on and keep living. Anyway, that's why I like Leave.

I like the idea that James is stuck in a loop. That he continually chooses Maria, deciding to call her Mary, but she gets sick and dying so he commits his sin again, then is lead back to Silent Hill and meets new players. And that’s the reason in the Remake that there are a few detail differences and changes in tech. In the remake, he finally breaks the loop and accepts what he did and leaves

He gets out of the loop by getting more visible pores on his face. Now we need Harry to go from his low res polygonal model to his cutscene model for gameplay in order to get the secret triple plus good ending.

What if all the UFO endings, in all the Silent Hill world, are reals? o_O I mean: In the first one Harry is abducted by aliens who later are his friend, so he survived until the second one and abduct James, taking him into the spaceship. In the third Heather arrives to her house finding Harry, James and the alien. They eventually destroy a part of Silent Hill, but not ALL the Silent Hill town. So Alex Shepherd, arrives to Silent Hill tricked by Travis (which is part of the aliens too, for the UFO ending of Origins), and thats a trap to abduct him too. That may explain the reason to why the town is empty. Its because all the town was abducted, or destroyed in the third game.

I think I figured out why I don't like the Maria ending. I choose to interpret Maria's character as an illusion. While I haven't played the Born from a Wish scenario, I can say the name has implications about Maria. The whole "I'm what you wanted" that she shouts at him. She's an illusion. Eddie, Laura, and Angela are real people, with fleshed out backstories (to varying degrees). Maria is part of Silent Hill giving him what he thinks he wants, and then punishing him. However, the cough at the end... I guess that saves the ending for me. Because to me, Maria represents Silent Hill almost in its entirety. If he leaves with her, he's bringing the baggage of the game with him, and can never have a normal life. He has to reject her in the Leave or In Water endings and whatnot to reach some form of closure. If he doesn't reject her, he will always be reminded of his sin, and doesn't that mean Silent Hill won? Is this a widely accepted theory or do most people view Maria as a real person?

The real ending is all of them at once, whilst at the same time none. For me, that's kind of the point and actually what makes it the scariest game of all time, and is the most powerful thing that it does. A conclusion is something people can deal with, something people can cope with, get their head around ... accept. Talk about in certain terms. Move on. The whole game as you're going through it, trying to work out whats going on, piece it all together, make sense of it. And then at the end, it pulls it straight back to the most terrifying aspect of real life - Kirkegaard's terrifying, dizzying realisation of free will and a lack of divinely ordained (read: game designer as god here, creator) meaning in the universe. Everything is simultaneously valid and invalid at the same time. There is no conclusion. There is only choice and will. Camus' "There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide." (give up - In Water Ending) Hamlet's "Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them" (Leave ending) Maria is solipsism and hedonism - the only thing that matters is the self, the self is the center of the world and it should be gratified. The Doge and UFO ending fit very well into the 'leap of faith' conclusion that Kirkegaard came to - that there must be some higher power behind all this. Some design. The difference is the style - the UFO is more in line with giving up the responsibility of self-determination to a God, over-power intervention (as well as themes of external saviour and rescue). The Doge is what Freud would equate to in his essay Civilizations and its Discontents, more on the side of true escape from the situation entirely in inebriation - for humans this would be alcohol, drugs, but as the game cannot force these upon you it gives you its next best medicine - laughter. Do you Will the In Water ending to be real? Then this is your truth. Do you Will the Doge ending to be real (see also: fact)? Then this is your truth. True terror is realising how free you are, and how nothing will ever be truly resolved. Multiple endings : true genius. True horror.

In the leave ending, I have to wonder how James found Laura and convinced her to come with him... And I have to wonder had he removed Mary's courpse from his car before finding Laura again. Had he not... Laura would most definately NOT want to go with him. As for the in water ending, I have to wonder how he managed to crash into the lake and why he thought dying in a lake was the best idea. Drowning is incredibly painful and scary, and I have to wonder why he thought he'd head to the same place as Mary. Either way, I hate the in water ending. He dealt with his guilt BUUUT... He is still dead, making me think the playthrough is pointless if the main character just dies like that. Similar to the first game's bad- ending.

I wouldn’t say the In Water ending is pointless, because if he didn’t go through this journey, he wouldn’t have remembered why he was there in the first place. My issue with it is that Mary wanted him to go on, and it sucks for James to just end it all (from my perspective). The ending song is also a bit of a buzzkill, even if I really really like it. But the best part about it is that it's all about what you think is the most appropriate choice in the end of the day. The first game is different because its bad ending implies the entire Journey didn't happen and that it was a dream, which mega sucks, but what makes it better is that New Game+ implies that you’re getting a second chance, which makes getting the good/good+ ending all the more awesome.

This is the first time I see some of the other endings, The Maria ending is also good, if I had got that, I would of been trilled since I loved Maria, but then that cough at the end would of ruined it for me just when I thought it had ended good. The letter of Mary at the end is so dramatic, it always gets me, it's one of the most dramatic segments in gaming I think.

I can’t understand why most people like the in water ending the most. It’s so incredibly cynical and underwhelming compared to the leave ending. I can appreciate a tragic ending where the protagonist is driven to suicide (hell, I’m one of the people that prefers the mgs4 ending of snake killings himself at the end), but the entire point of the game is James dealing with the stages of grief over Mary. Mary’s letter is pleading with him to live on. That even though they had a rough end of their relationship it was all worth it. For James to come to the conclusion that life isn’t worth living without her is to throw his entire arc out the window. In water and leave are the only ending that have the confrontation of James and Maria which is very necessary, but I still prefer leaves just for the added line of “if that were true, why do you sound so sad?”. It adds more dimension to the characters.

Not sure what ending is true, I guess they all are, or none also, but I think it should be the "Leave" ending, the entire game was him accepting what he's done, to move on, I feel "in water" kinda throws it in the trash, especially after that epic scene before fighting the 2 pyramid heads, SO AWESOME! Same with Maria ending since she CLEARLY wasn't real, and James SHOULD realize that. Another thing, none of the other endings show what happens to the little girl.
@Froggy7119 жыл бұрын
I like to think of the game as a bit of a schrodinger's cat scenario. None are true until you complete the game and we find out what kind of man James is. My first playthrough I got "In Water" which was strangely... okay. (basically I hoarded life items the entire game, waiting for a ramp in difficulty that never really came... and I never realized there was a "green" health level) I mean, in that ending he still admits the truth about his guilt for killing his wife and receives the absolution he desires. The only problem with it is that James fails to find anything to live for. "Maria" I think is the least satisfying for me. It's hard for me to think of Maria as a real person and not just as a manifestation of Silent Hill. And maybe in the Maria ending, she still is... Allowing James to leave with her only to watch Maria die as well (no doubt of the same disease that took Mary) is yet another punishment heaped upon him by that cursed town. Or, perhaps she is a real person after all... but then how did she know the things she knew? Was she under the spell of the ghost of Mary? In which case, who is Maria anyway? "Leave" is probably the most satisfying of all, as James is somehow able to explain his actions to Laura and they leave together to make a new future together.

Froggy711 It's easier to accept the Maria ending if you play the Born From a Wish scenerio on special edition/the HD remix versions of the game. It goes a little more in depth in a short game where you play as Maria and it does give her a little more character. While Leave to me is the most satisfying, if I had to guess from Silent Hill the Room, the canonical ending would either be the In Water or even the Rebirth endings. I'm not sure if it's a scene you can miss, but the landlord of the apartments that Henry is in is hinted to be James' father and comments how he went missing. So either the in water ending happened, or something terrible happened when he tried to bring mary back to life.

For some reason knowing that she's a manifestation, it's just hard for me to imagine that she can even leave Silent Hill at all. But SH is basically magic, and if they want Maria to be able to leave, then I guess she can. *shrugs*

I see why In Water is the most accepted ending despite its heavy tragedy on the protagonist, it feels like the most logical and proper closure compared to the alternatives. In Maria James comes off as too out of character and doesn't stay true to himself. Also, the implication of Maria's illness is pretty much pointless since she can't exist in the normal world outside of Silent Hill, regardless of her health. Even within Silent Hill she actively avoided showing herself to other people than James. No matter what, James wouldn't be able to liive with her. Leave doesn't make sense, the last time you see Laura she hates James for killing Mary and doesn't want to see him again, but in the end she leaves Silent Hill together with him for some reason. Not to mention that James wouldn't be able to go on living normally because he would be apprehended for killing Mary (this is also true for the Maria ending). Rebirth is too ambiguous and suggests some form of stronger insanity within James that hasn't been shown before. The other endings are jokes, so this leaves In Water as the most rational finale of SH2.
