* The ending breaks your heart -- in it the previously cynical, IneffectualLoner Prince decides to screw over the whole world and release the BigBad in order to bring Elika back from the dead. It takes its time to play out, and the Prince, who used to have a smart-assed comment for everything, does not say a single word during it. Plenty of people have called it an AssPull or ShockingSwerve ending because it basically means that all the work you've done was for nothing, but if you value the character development, it'll tear you up because it is ''the only way'' the game could have ended.

Yes, how dare Elika abandon the guy who released Ahriman personally, negating the sacrifice she made at great personal cost, so she can go re-connect with the others who shared her ancestral duty, because said releaser claims he did it for \'completely unselfish\' reasons that fly utterly in the face of all his characterisation so far. So mean!

[[spoiler:He could have left Ahriman [[BystanderSyndrome for someone else to deal with]], because the Prince will probably be dead and gone by the time Ahriman breaks out again. Instead, the Prince chooses to undo all the work he did and bring Elika back ''and'' stick around just so they can find a way to get rid of Ahriman for good. He went through hell, and he's willing to go through it again to keep Elika alive and rid the world of Ahriman's threat. His reward?
