Trippy Finale Syndrome	comment	In long works involving some form of magic, many creators seem to decide that the universe they've so far established is much too prosaic for the big finish their project surely deserves, and as a result, send their heroes into some uncharted realm resembling a whacked-out dream sequence. Overlaps with Gainax Ending when it gets particularly symbolic. Video games tend to make this an Amazing Technicolor Battlefield, hence the trope Final Boss, New Dimension. If the gameplay goes sour, it's Disappointing Last Level. As this is an Ending Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware.

Then the fog divides into two giant membranes, Madoka Disappears into Light, and Homura ends up back on Earth. Somewhat justified by the fact that Madoka literally destroys and rebuilds the universe, so venturing into an "uncharted realm" in the meantime was inevitable.

In DMC1, it is depicted as the innards of a giant monster, complete with a giant pulsating heart, which you enter through a mirror and the broken window roof of an upside down cathedral. In DMC3, it is depicted as an amalgamation of several bizarre architecture such as a road that assembles itself before your very feet, a giant chessboard, a roomful of stairways that would make M.C. Escher's head hurt, a lake of blood, a broken time space warp connected via mirrors made of mercury, and a chamber made of purple flesh that is situated at the feet of a statue of a godlike figure so tall you can't even see its knees.

Raiden's girlfriend is also a part of the A.I. but she appears in reality. Then things get weird. And in Substance, one of Snake's missions is an outright parody of this aspect of the original game, as well as Raiden's status as a Replacement Scrappy.

Trippy Finale Syndrome / int_32318e9a	comment	Roseanne stretched this out over its entire final season, only to invert it in the series finale proper. After eight seasons of the Conners struggling to get by and dealing with realistic issues, the family abruptly wins a huge lottery jackpot and become multimillionaires overnight. The rest of the season consists of bizarre episodes, including fighting terrorists on a train, Jackie being wooed by a foreign prince, a Rosemary's Baby spoof featuring the cast of Absolutely Fabulous, and Roseanne and Jackie going to an exclusive health spa (which also features a lengthy Imagine Spot of Roseanne as Xena). In the finale itself, though, it's revealed that the entire season (and much of the actual series) was actually a book Roseanne has been writing about her life; the lottery subplot was her dreaming of a situation completely different than her own as a form of escapism.

If that's not bad enough, said final boss battle sure is. The battle's inspired by an old-fashioned CSI-esque movie that starts (well, not immediately, but you get the point) with a close-up of the soon-to-be victim's face, which the creator saw as a child when he entered the wrong theater and mistook it for a rape scene.

Many anime watchers know this as the finale of the 90s anime, and up until that point, the series was mostly grounded in reality with a few fantastical elements subtly implied. The last three episodes take place in a frightening hellscape ruled over by four archdemons who want to make Griffith one of their own and in which most of the main cast is suddenly and brutally killed off by ravening monsters. Of course, this is the point where the manga takes off from, so this only applies to the anime.

Pandaemonium is really a Cool Starship, so it's filled with demon technology that's completely anachronistic for the setting, architecture that's obsessed with hexagons, demons who've had their legion corrupted, driving them feral and making them look like mutant starfish and Pandaemonium herself, the demon's Hive Queen.

Seeing how they entered it through Prison Island, which was located at the top of the Bionis, and were therefore entering the Bionis' (i.e. Zanza's) skull, they're essentially entering his own memories, which hints at his background involving space.

Trippy Finale Syndrome / int_9db1766a	comment	Devil May Cry: The final levels from the first game and Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening take place in the Underworld/Hell. In DMC1, it is depicted as the innards of a giant monster, complete with a giant pulsating heart, which you enter through a mirror and the broken window roof of an upside down cathedral. In DMC3, it is depicted as an amalgamation of several bizarre architecture such as a road that assembles itself before your very feet, a giant chessboard, a roomful of stairways that would make M.C. Escher's head hurt, a lake of blood, a broken time space warp connected via mirrors made of mercury, and a chamber made of purple flesh that is situated at the feet of a statue of a godlike figure so tall you can't even see its knees. The final battle in Devil May Cry 3 takes place in a river. A river in Hell. It doesn't appear to be Styx. In Devil May Cry 4, Stage 18 is an apocalyptic battle, held on floating platforms, against a giant mobile statue and a combination of animated suits of armor. The final battle takes place in the normal-by-comparison, surprisingly-squishy innards of said giant demon made of animate marble.

Trippy Finale Syndrome / int_a606596a	comment	In Chrono Cross, the Final boss is fought in The Darkness Beyond Time — the place where things go when they no longer exist. The finale also seems trippy just because all the dialogue on Disc 2 is dedicated to explaining the back story of the game... and even after reading it all, you still need a Master's Degree in Strange Back Story-ology to understand it. If you don't use the eponymous item, Lavos just respawns from another timeline. If you do, cue Gainax Ending. Even its predecessor, Chrono Trigger, doesn't escape from this. Once you enter Lavos' outer shell and initiate a battle with the "real" Lavos (The Core), the background graphics just goes all hippie on you, occasionally combined with semitransparent images of places you've been to in the past, present, and future. The trippiness of Chrono Trigger's finale begins sooner than that; the Black Omen sequence is very bizarre by the standards of an otherwise pretty straightforward game, what with the dream/waking duality and the your-party-floating-in-jars and the Zeal's-a-mask-and-gloves-in-space.

Trippy Finale Syndrome / int_a81325d3	comment	The Final Fantasy series frequently uses this. The Very Definitely Final Dungeon of Final Fantasy is a past version of the castle ruins in which the party originally fought Garland at the beginning of the game. Not so trippy, until you realize that you're unable to leave the castle (which is probably stuck in a time loop). Final Fantasy II involves traveling to the capital of Hell. Though it makes sense, as the final boss has used his own demise as a stepping stone toward dethroning and replacing the Devil as King of Hell. Final Fantasy III finds the player's party in the World of Darkness, a dark temple floating in an endless void. Final Fantasy IV, of course, during the final boss fight against Zeromus. Final Fantasy V has the Interdimensional Rift, a twisted landscape of everything that has been trapped between the worlds for a thousand years, as its final dungeon. Part of it is a town that phases in and out of time and space. The final battle itself takes place in the very heart of the Void where the villain consumes and regurgitates himself as a horrible mishmash of creatures that declares 'The Laws of the Universe mean nothing!'. Also, the world ends, but that can be reversed by leaving the area before the actual fight begins. Final Fantasy VI has a relatively tame final dungeon constructed from the wreckage of an empire, but the end boss is preceded by an enormous tower of vaguely Renaissance-esque statues(?) of nude men and women, usually in bizarre positions, which all want you dead. Fighting your way through them looks like you're ascending towards heaven to confront God above the clouds. Final Fantasy VII has the party traveling through a crater down into the heart of the planet, through strange and varied underground landscapes. The strangeness hits a fever pitch towards the bottom, which is just a series of floating rocks surrounded by flowing Lifestream. Cue final fight with an Eldritch Abomination, One-Winged Angel, Ominous Latin Chanting, a supernova that destroys the solar system every time it's used but can't kill you (since it takes 9/10 of your HP, rounded down) but does give you time to make a sandwich, Clipped-Wing Angel... And once the heroes return to the normal world, something spectacular happens, but you can't really be sure what it was just by watching the end movie(s). Final Fantasy VIII involves the party being sucked through time to the far future, where the main villainess' castle waits floating ominously over a destroyed world. The rest of the world as the party knows it becomes like this as well due to Ultimecia's "time compression". The actual battle against Ultimecia is plenty this as well. She conjures an imaginary creature, wields planets, and begins to merge with the universe. Defeat her and time decompresses into a bad trip. The Very Definitely Final Dungeon of Final Fantasy IX is a collective mishmash of ancestral memories, taking the party to locations from the entire world's history and ending with the origin of the universe. Final Fantasy X sends the party into the innards of Sin for the final dungeon. The first section is basically a bunch of tubes filled with shallow water and floating magical symbols (which maybe makes sense because Sin is a creature created by magic). The next section is the ruins of an ancient city that is inside Sin... for some reason. The city is probably some part of the original Zanarkand. Or it's part of dream Zanarkand, the construct of the Yu Yevon, who creates and possesses Sin and has been explained a few minutes before arriving. Final Fantasy XI has the Chains of Promathia expansion end in the Celestial Capital of Al'Taieu, conveniently located in another freaking plane of existence. Even the first film loses coherence by the end. Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker, the final expansion of the Myth Arc, ends in Ultima Thule, a realm located at the literal edges of the universe made up of concentrated Dynamis — a mix of Dark Energy and emotional energy. The realm is suitably trippy and cosmic, with a gigantic black sun looming above and a bright star illuminating from below, and the entire landscape made up of floating 'islands' based on recreations of dead planets. The finale to Crystal Chronicles takes place in the Nest of Memories, an abstract realm that's home to the memory-eating demi-gods Mio and Raem.

Trippy Finale Syndrome / int_c67a1218	comment	The Legend of Dragoon has The Moon That Never Sets. It's a rather surreal place with actual towns and forests, and the constant sound of the Virage Embryo's heartbeat. The area right before the final boss is even more surreal, consisting of static-y television monitors and an overall weird, digital-looking landscape.

Trippy Finale Syndrome / int_cd899ed6	comment	The Grand Finale of the first season of Darker than Black was very clearly inspired by Evangelion. However, unlike Eva, they had the decency to give at least a little explanation. It's possible to piece together all the groups' motivations, even if the Gate-induced Mind Screw is totally incomprehensible. The second season, well... Let's just say that a Contractor copying the entire planet is one of the easier things to understand. If you think you know what happened, you're wrong.

The finale takes it up a notch though, culminating in Oscar's spirit flying through a maybe-metaphysical space known as the Love Hotel involving basically every character in the movie, culminating with Oscar being reborn after witnessing the impregnation of his sister by his best friend (?).

Made even worse by the fact that the pattern on the track is moving and can actively disorient the player, which can cause a lot of screwing up on Slim-Line Slits.

Trippy Finale Syndrome / int_d59d9e99	comment	The R-Type series' final stages got progressively trippier as the games went on. Most notable of all, a Bydo dimension filled with crystal-encased human fetuses, strands of DNA, free-floating sperm the size of the ship, and fertilized ova... And that's not even mentioning the neutral ending of Final, in which the screen-filling silhouettes of a man and a woman embrace and make love in the background. The first alternate ending of Final has you trapped in a really trippy dimension, fighting a space slug thing, and mutated by the Bydo, then forced to fight your allies. You can see the mutant ship from this ending fly past in the first stage.

If that's not bad enough, said final boss battle sure is. The battle's inspired by an old-fashioned CSI-esque movie that starts (well, not immediately, but you get the point) with a close-up of the soon-to-be victim's face, which the creator saw as a child when he entered the wrong theater and mistook it for a rape scene. The sequel, '"Mother 3'', does this as well. You're in a cavern miles below the city, when... whoa! What's the deal with the dropoffs? And the animate crystals and balls of electricity flying around?

When the two Sufficiently Advanced Aliens who had been driving the plot finally leave, Molly complains because they do it very suddenly and anticlimactically. She says, rightly, that in movies when such entities finally depart, there's supposed to be a giant light show of some sort. The less powerful aliens the heroes are currently staying with give a bemused shrug and indulge her by firing all their ship's weapons at once, making a spectacular light show that doesn't actually mean anything, but it makes her happy.

Then, the rest of Malpercio shows up to help you defeat Verus-Wiseman. Then, afterwards, you're back in Tarazed Core, like all that never happened. Granted, it does make for a hell of a boss fight.

The rest of the world as the party knows it becomes like this as well due to Ultimecia's "time compression". The actual battle against Ultimecia is plenty this as well.

Trippy Finale Syndrome / int_f6a54e75	comment	Kingdom Hearts. Especially noteworthy because of the escalating levels of trippiness the closer you get to the end. The first game's final world is the End of the World, a strange mishmash of various dead worlds surrounded by a violet ocean. Kingdom Hearts II's final world is called the World that Never Was (more accurately, it's a world that never should have been) and is on the edge of the realms of light and dark. It's a huge, completely empty facsimile of a city with an enormous, misshapen white castle/spaceship and a heart-shaped moon hanging over it. Then the buildings get weaponized... Kingdom Hearts coded ends with Castle Oblivion, where half-baked memories spend their time in White Void Rooms. Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] ends with the World that Never Was again, but this time it's even worse. Many areas start off making no sense architecturally and are only slightly more intuitive as pathways are assembled from cleanly sliced skyscrapers.
