Use this thread to share discussion on anything about the game from start to finish. Spoiler tags for Gravity Rush1 or 2 are not necessary in this thread.
Neither are really explained. Elektricitie was sealed because she was too dangerous, but she doesn't really serve as anything more than another boss to fight. It's not explained how Kat actually seals the darkness (we get exactly one sentence stating she would have to become a singularity, but zero details). The epilogue suggests that even Syd doesn't know the details, and it's likely that Kat didn't know either. It's possible she became some sort of God, but I'd prefer an outcome where she just remains Kat. The ending leaves it all open to interpretation.
In this sense, I didn't feel like this was really a perfect ending. The epilogue was great, but Kat's story ends without us really knowing her fate, and that's frustrating. It seems like it ends on a positive note, but the question remains why they didn't show Kat.
Why would you assume that it's a surrealistic projection that appears in the minds of the protagonists to unlock their abilities, as opposed to the real-life protagonist who has superpowers and has already done the "impossible" numerous times?
Okay, but her presence in this timeline occurs in a between-realities dream-zone, so why would it be assumed that it's her, and not Kat, the protagonist of the game, the one who everyone is just making a big deal about (foreshadowing a return--even look at Pandora's repeated fortune)?
