In case you’ve performed The Final of Us Half I, you’ll know that the tip is a little bit of an issue with the protagonist Joel giving up the potential for a remedy for the world so as to save only one particular person within the type of Ellie. Although loads of followers have argued about Joel’s selection by way 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 in relation to Ellie by the tip of the sport. Right here’s the publish:
‘Individuals have requested me, ‘Why would Joel try 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 woman, and that’s it.”
I assume 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.
In addition to being a strong horror/survival recreation, 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 recreation may go down the road, but when the story is something as robust because the second recreation, I’m all in.
The Final of Us Half I and Half II are at present obtainable for PlayStation 4|5. Be careful for HBO’s The Final of Us which is ready to premiere on Jan. 15, 2023.
