The inevitability of aging and the melancholic pain of having to let go of your children; one of the most bittersweet finale chapters of any game series I can think of, most triumphant in it's celebration of the series and most depressing in how it reckons with the complicated history of it's own mythos.

Game is, sadly, a bit undercooked gameplay and setting wise, though makes up for it with Onomichi being one of the best locations the series has had from a thematic and narrative perspective. Somewhat messy in execution, but with a narrative as strong as this and as powerful as this, the final moments are worth everything.
