So, between spots of studying today, I finished my Xenosaga 3 game. It was truly one of the best endings that I've seen in quite awhile. Jesus's disciple and Mary Magdalene basically ended up saving the universe by initiating a dimensional transfer that sucked up the Gnosis. The Gnosis are humans who have rejected the world and have become separate entities in the collective human consciousness. They reject the world and wish for the return of better days. The main antagonist wishes to fulfill this wish and stop the destruction of the universe by starting a cycle of eternal recurrence. He wishes to do so by looping time through the imaginary time that the Gnosis generally inhabit, and runs more-or-less parallel to real time. If he doesn't do so, then the logical conclusion will be that the harmony of Anima, the power of the collective human consciousness, will disrupt the universe until its destruction at the hands of the Gnosis. Jesus's disciple, known in this futuristic time simply as chaos, uses his power of Anima to instead join the Gnosis together, and transfer them to imaginary space to help slow down the destruction of the universe so that people may have longer to figure out how to stop. Truth be told, I barely had any idea what was going on, the game had a hard time getting everything explained since it tried to pack four games all into this one. It made me just want to go read some Nietzsche to figure out where half the references came from. The last boss was humorously named Zarathustra, and it was what was supposed to revert the universe to imaginary time, or something along those lines.
