The ending of Breath of Fire Dragon Quarter was really great. The emotions of the scene all starts in the story of the game.
Spoiler:
For those that haven't played, the game all takes place underground. It's about trying to get Nina, an experimental "being" made to purify the air, out to reach the sky. Along the way, people are trying to capture Nina, Ryu the main character, and Rin the companion. Ryu gains the power to transform into a dragon with awesome powers, but there's a drawback. There's a dragon counter that when it reaches 100%, he dies.
So all through the game, it is clear that Ryu will risk anything to get Nina to the sky, while trying to keep the dragon counter from reaching 100%. So they finally reach the last boss...
It turns out the last boss is a powerful dragon, and Ryu needs to transform to beat it. As he uses his dragon powers, the counter starts climbing up to 100%. The boss still alive, Ryu pushes the counter to 150%, and finally 200%. Doing all this to allow Nina to reach the sky. After the battle, Ryu tells Nina that he needs to rest and have Lin take her to the sky first.
As Nina happily climbs the stairs to reach outside, we see Ryu sitting on the floor all limp. Lin notices but doesn't say anything to Nina and continues walking with a sad face. Once outside, Nina realizes that Ryu hasn't come yet and rushes back inside. She sees Ryu sitting on the floor not moving. He did push the dragon counter past 100% afterall. Crying and running back to Ryu she trips to the floor.
During this time, Ryu was given a chance to live by the dragon power because of his actions. So as Nina gets up from the floor, we see Ryu reaching a hand up towards the sky at Nina saying "I'm here Nina". The screen fades to black and the credits roll.
The story was great, and the ending finished it up nicely. I was sad at first, thinking Ryu died and never got to see Nina outside, but then happy that Ryu actually survived.
To me, this was on par w/ the ending to Chrono Trigger. It had that nice warm fuzzy feeling to it =p
