That FFX-2 stuff is precisely what I'm talking about. There's too much room for abuse in making you do abstract things to get the game's best ending, or even a moderately good ending. I think getting multiple endings should be something you can do for fun once you've mastered the game. The exception, of course, are games with multiple settings. I totally agree about Street Fighter 2.
