In the event you’ve performed The Final of Us Half I, you’ll know that the tip is a little bit of an argument with the protagonist Joel giving up the potential for a treatment for the world as a way to save only one individual within the type of Ellie. Although numerous followers have argued about Joel’s selection by means of the years, actor Troy Baker says it was his son that helped actually put the ending into perspective.
Speaking to Milan Video games Week (through @NaughtyNDC), Baker explains the care that he has for his son is akin to Joel’s on the subject of Ellie by the tip of the sport. Right here’s the publish:
‘Individuals have requested me, ‘Why would Joel do this when he may have saved the world?’ and my reply to them is all the time this—he did, he did save the world. It’s simply that the world was that lady, and that’s it.”
I suppose it actually speaks to the theme of found-family and fatherhood in The Final of Us, seeing that Joel loses his daughter within the very starting of the sport, however decides to avoid wasting his new ‘daughter’ by the tip of it. Even the visuals are the identical with Joel carrying each Sarah and Ellie to security.
Moreover being a stable horror/survival sport, The Final of Us manages to shine with its storytelling and lore, and that’s what makes the sport so nice after a decade since its launch. We don’t know the place a 3rd sport may go down the road, but when the story is something as sturdy because the second sport, I’m all in.
The Final of Us Half I and Half II are presently out there for PlayStation 4|5. Be careful for HBO’s The Final of Us which is about to premiere on Jan. 15, 2023.
