I'm getting a little tired of having to google "how to get the best ending" every time I boot up one of these fuckin things. Just tell your story! No one wants to spend hours on a game, especially a non-linear one that encourages exploration, only to be penalized with a bullshit non-final boss because you didn't arbitrarily explore the right way. I don't really follow the games discourse nowadays but I really hope it has gotten to "abolish the bad ending" and moved beyond "game bad if there a tiddy y/n?"
