Oh come on. The Reaches ending is a completely abstract non-sequitur ending found by achieving completely abstract non-sequitur tasks that exist completely outside the flow of the story. If you refuse to accept the other endings (or at least the normal one) as real, then that's your shortcoming. None of the endings provided any closure, IMO.

Tragic elements, sure. Slade, Sacrifa, Lyrra. But I still thought the overlaying feel of episodes 1, 2, and 3 was the spirit of adventure, with a slightly focused goal. Episode 4 really sent the plot into a dedicated line, but I won't maintain that it was necessarily and entirely tragic.
Sarcasm wrote:...the later theme of The Way has undeniably pointed to a tragic direction, and the sudden dawning so prominent in tragedy is often expressed by Plato's cave analogy, that corresponds to "Truth hides nothing".
Tragic direction? Possibly. But that doesn't mean the true ending is everybody spontaneously dying after some abstract cutscenes. That's like ending Romeo and Juliet by having them both suddenly die of heart attacks in the tomb. If you absolutely must have one, the real tragedy (IMO) is Traziun's sacrifice in the normal ending. I am of the opinion that "truth" is its own independent outcome outside of tragic or happy. Happy and tragic are in the eye of the beholder, but truth is inerrant, unless you're pigheaded and deny it vehemently against logic (much in the vein of the Lexus ending, which I will admit I am not particularly fond of).
