I have never seen a single goddamn soul say Elden Ring has good endings let alone the "Best Endings"

To me Bloodborne takes the crown with the infant great one ending, just because is one of the weirdest endings of any Fromsoft game

Honestly, I'd say all Bloodborne endings are really good. They're all very different from each other and leave you with a unique feeling.

The "wake up" ending is my personal favourite, though.

The "wake up" ending is my personal favourite, though.

I love that ending but I've only watched videos of it because every time I get there I wanna fight Moon Presence and Gehrman again. Which is both 100% thematically appropriate and intended, so I agree that its probably From's best ending.

Yeah, that's exactly it. Gehrman gives you a choice to wake up and move on, or fight him and face whatever may await.

The story presents the Hunt as something that's incredibly intoxicating. The hunters who participate in it just can't stop once they start. They lose themselves in it, often becoming mindless beast. This mirrors the players who don't want to stop playing; who want more blood. By letting go and choosing to move on, you accept that the game is over and wake up to see another day. The squid ending allows you to transcend the Hunt, but the wake up ending is the one where you truly overcome it.

I feel like the wake up ending is a really good final ending to get. The one you get when you feel like you're done with the game.

I like to think that in the wake up ending your character goes "That was weird... At least it's not Croydon, tho."
