Thanks.
Anyway, what you said about the class Zidane showed to win Dagger’s affection, that’s a really interesting point. I never really thought about it as showing class, but when I think of how Ziddy’s attitude and the way he started to behave towards her as the game progressed, I think you’re right. He did start showing more class.
I mean he goes from "Ooo… soft!" to basically, well, being more respectful towards her as his love for her deepened. The same for Dagger when her feelings started to reciprocate. Zidane was such a cheeky little flirt at the beginning, it was almost irritating. Funny, but annoying. Zidane always reminded me of the guy who was everyone’s friend, but was really hard to take seriously in a relationship. Hehehe, I’d hate to be him. 😉
As far as him showing honor and virtue, yep, I think he did. "I can’t just walk away." Zidane lives true to something he said to Dagger early on in the game, which is, "You can’t just think things through, sometimes you have to follow your heart." Zid does just that.
Eh, anyway, those are some of my thoughts on the ending. Magnificent ending. 🙂 Probably the reason why I fell in love with FF9 as much as I have.
…and they lived happily ever after.
The leader does die sometimes, he did in FFX…well…sorta.

Heh-heh, I could go on forever about how much I loved FF9’s ending. When I first beat the game, I just kinda sat there, and my feeling was, "Well THAT was worth it!!!" So many other games left me with this, "So that’s it?" feeling, but FF9 was no such sentiment.
I totally Agree. When i Beat Legend of Legaia and Legend of Dragoon, There was barely an ending. It left me not knowing what was going to happen to the characters. But in FF9 the story came to a really great ending. Definitely my favorite FF Ending. Even though FF6 is my favorite game.
