This ending takes by far the longest to get out of the joke endings (even longer than Y), but that's fine by me, because while the last ending that had to do with this part of the story (city e[S]cape) is my least favorite joke ending to get because it makes me have to abandon my waifus, THIS one here is my absolute favorite because it encapsulates all of the things I love about this game.

1. Combat
2. Song of the Ancients
3. Devola & Popola

So when I get to participate in a nonstop machine onslaught alongside both Devola and Popola WHILE Song of the Ancients (with the vocals, mind you) is playing... it's a perfect storm for the best moment in the game by far.

The only thing I don't like is... well you see my hanging back our staying out of the direct fray a lot, and making passing hits on enemies from the outside. This is because I don't wanna get hit, and the problem is that the enemies are programmed to aggro to Devola and Popola here.

To an inexperience gamer, that sounds like it should make it easier, right? WRONG. An enemy that's aggro'd to you is far more predictable than one that's not. And since they're randomly aggro'd to Devola or Popola, I don't even know which of the two they're going to attack. When I'M the one being targeted, I know where all attacks will be directed towards, and can react or evade accordingly, but HERE I might wind up moving INTO an attack tat otherwise wouldn't have hit me, because it was aimed at Devola or Popola who happened to be standing where I was moving to.

It's also why I preferred fighting solo in Hollow Fragment and Hollow Realization. Whenever an enemy was aggro'd to someone other than me, it was like I was fighting a completely different enemy to what I was used to.

But here it's fine, because it's Devola and Popola, and I wanna help them no matter what. Of curse, whether you run, hack the Tower, or stay and help them fight... they end up dying regardless :(
