Of the three endings Cave Story has, which one of them is the most epic?
The "Bad Ending" was the least epic, and I'm sure that's a general truth. You get to play only half the game, you fly away on a dragon with some green-haired guy who never opens his eyes, and even if you saved Booster and Curly, Curly will never get her memory back!
The only good(?) thing about this ending is the emotional part, that you're leaving the island to it's doom, and then it makes you feel bad about it and want to try again.
The "Normal Ending" or "Semi-Good Ending" was actually pretty epic. First off, you finally face off against Misery, and kick her blue ass! Then, you go and seemingly destroy The Doctor, which was the long-awaited battle for me. Finally, in a plot twist The Doctor, who is still alive without a physical form, takes control of Misery, Sue, and the Undead Core, and then the seemingly Final Battle occurs with suiting background music played. You get the "This is it!" feeling, since this is what you've been waiting for the whole time.
You try to get away with Sue, jump off the island, and when you think "Oshi-" since it looks like you're going to fall to your death, Kazuma comes at the last second and saves you with a Sky Dragon, where again the appropiate music plays.
However, you don't get to see what the real reason behind the tragedy of the island, and no one likes to feel left out.
The "Good Ending" was pretty epic as well. It turns out to be that The Doctor isn't the only reason the island's going to hell, it was actually the creator of the Demon Crown, Ballos, who caused all of it. You run through Hell with Curly (;-;") strapped onto you, and you take down Hell together. You get to see that Kumahachi carved staues of Quote, Curly, King, and Toroko (wat), and then go to finally save the island by defeating Ballos. The four-part boss battle is hard, but awesome, and Last Battle finally plays for The Last Battle.
However, there wasn't much back-up to why you have to destroy Ballos, other than some last minute information given by Ballos's dog. Also, it ends with you being saved by Balrog, who crushes on Curly (*gets ready to bitch-slap Balrog*), and then you all just go on a vacation. Kind of an anti-climatic way to end it after all that, but it's not a terrible way to end it, since you get to finally rest peacefully.
The ending that was most epic, in my opinion, was the "Normal Ending". It just has more "ZOMFG YAIZ" factors than the "Good Ending".
So, now that I'm done, what do you think was the most epic ending?
