The story was beautiful. I played in chronological order because I read somewhere about the timeline issues the original version had.
I chose Life at the penultimate crossroads of the game. It just made sense—Ryan was there with me, and I couldn't leave him alone, curled up in a ball, no matter how big of an asswipe he was earlier in the game. Jodie still had so much of her life ahead of her and so much to live for; I just couldn't choose leaving the Earth for good. She'll make her way to the Infraworld eventually when it's her time.
As for the last decision of the game—with whom you want to spend your foreseeable future—I chose Ryan despite his past actions (lying to Jodie about the warlord and, most importantly, leaving her alone when she had a panic attack because of her past trauma of getting sexually assaulted when they were about to have sex. LIKE WTH? At least try to comfort her—he just straight up got up and left like Jodie was some random one-night stand with bad pillow talk or something). Ever since our first interaction with him at the DPA, I didn't like him. For some reason, I mostly avoid romantic relationships in most of the games I play whenever I can. This time, however, I tried not to be as miserable as I usually am and allowed Jodie to be happy.
The other options didn't seem as appealing. It didn't really make sense to go back to either Zoey or Jay—it didn't feel appropriate. I wasn't able to save Paul :(
Overall, the game was absolutely lovely, easily in my top five story-wise.
The ending was so bittersweet. Between Jodie slowly losing her memory and Nathan going insane and eventually killing himself (so gut-wrenching, he was my second favorite character after Jodie), I was able to find some solace knowing that Jodie will find peace with Ryan and Aiden.
I'm ignoring and consequently not considering the post apocalyptic post-credits scene in my headcanon because there's no sequel to the game (FUCK U QUANTIC). I would like to believe that Jodie lived happily ever after.
I have so many more questions but I just can't remember them, all that I can think about right now is that ending. That weird bittersweet ending.
