THE ENDINGS OF NINE SOLS: Yi fuckin explodes OR Yi fuckin explodes

This was funny, but it was untrue. There are only two endings. The normal one and the true one. The "ending" shown at the end is (I think, I don't remember when it happens) a mid-game cutscene.

​​@@gearscore349you are correct, it's one of Yi's flashbacks

A little explanation on why the 'normal' ending is actually a really effing bleak one In the normal ending, Yi hasn't experienced significant character growth that he would recognize the errors of his ways. Sure, he cares for Shuanshuan like family, but he's mostly ambivalent to the others. For what comes next, keep in mind that Yi was the one who came up with the idea of harvesting apemen brains for computational power. There is a mention at 14:23 that PENGLAI the PLANET has a soulscape system now, one that shouldn't be having SHORT TERM computing shortages. The problem is that the soulscape system's computing power was provided by harvesting the brains of the humans/apemen and you can see by the MANY MANY MANY brains at 13:27 that there's a LOT of dead apemen. And to solve long term shortages? It's going to need many, many, many more brains. New Kunlun is just an island and its use of the brains was already massive, but to create something on the scale of the planet would require A LOT MORE apeman deaths to power than just a single island. There's also the fact that there really is no hope for a cure for the Tianhuo virus. All of the best scientists are already dead with the sole exception of Yi and maybe Kuafu, but even he's likely dead because at 12:12 you can see Yi paying respects to a grave with a flower on it that's either Kuafu or Heng. So all Yi's doing is prolonging the inevitable while simultaneously damning who knows how many thousands or even millions of apemen to have their brains extracted, kept as livestock with a few exceptions like Shuanshuan and the two others he's with. All of this just to stall for a little more time for an already dead/dying race. He's pretty much someone Heng would be absolutely ashamed of.

On top of that, the "glitches" at 14:33 could also imply that Yi at that moment is in his own soulscape and maybe going through something similar to Lady Etheral. (Maybe unlikely, but those pixels flashing up imeadiatly made me think of it.)

As someone who didn't play the game, but made enough research to have some context, I think there's a "cure" for the Tianhuo virus. In fact, it already existed before it started to spread and it was turning the whole population into asymptomatic carriers like they were before the Tianhuo virus was triggered

I think that the bad ending has to do with him dying and going into the soulscape to escape into his dreams. You see all the containment-tubes full of alive Solarians when we know everyone on Tiang died whilst most (if not everyone by the end of the game) on Konloun would also be dead or mutated, you see the soulscapes running fine despite the fact that shipping brains back and forth would take 1000 years for the two-way trip, you see him playing with Shuan despite Shuan clearly stating that he knew their last match had already been played. At least that's what I think

The third one shouldn't be considered a bad ending, rather a death scene of younger Yi.

Bad ending it just a scene flashback young Yi first died😢

Is that the second time he dies and have to watch an add to revive

Watching the true ending I ended up thinking in a short comic. (Be careful with spoilers) Frame 1, 2 and 3 It starts from the POV of Someone is in the verge of death, he is lying on a bed in his last moments, he is surronded by his family and friends. Giving his last words he dies in peace. Them everything turns black (There is a cat in the background that looks like Yi ) Frame 3 and 4 He wakes up, the old man is walking with his walking cane on a path in a white flower field. Frame 5, 6 and 7 Slowly he continues to walk, and he remembers what was the last thing he wrote on his diary, it was like a letter for someone from long ago. The old man start reading the letter that tells how was his life after landing in the pale blue planet and what he's been doing and how he helped the people arond him until his inevitable death of old age and his return to Tao. Frame 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 He starts talking about the time when he was a kid, and he tells how it was when Kuafu passed away because of the Tianhuo virus, then Shennong a couple of years later of old age, and he asks how is everyone doing while waiting for him, since he is the last person who is missing, the last person who originally came from space. At this moment the old man begins to get younger and younger. Frame 13 Then it's revealed that the old man is Shuanshuan and he is on his path to the afterlife, the wind blows and shakes his hair while he is looking for something far away while he continues with his letter, telling that he lived a long life like he said when he was a kid. Frame 14 and 15 He is a little younger now and can walk without his walking cane. After realizing that he doen't need a walking cane anymore Shuanshuan starts running. Frame 16, 17 and 18 It's hard in the beginning but step by step it's getting easier, and he seens to be saying something, calling for someone. While he still reading the letter he tells what he wants to do after see everyone again after all these years. Frame 19, 20 and 21 Someone who is holding a green pipe blowing green smoke can be seen by distance, he is talking with his sister and Shuanshuan's parents alongside Kuafu, Shennong, Chiyou and abacus who are a little drunk. Frame 22, 23 and 24 From far away Yi can hear a familiar voice "YI!!" and "BIG BROTHER!!". Kuafu then calls Yi, he points to Shuanshuan announcing his arrival and comments about how old Shuanshuan got. (I dont know, let's put that Shuanshuan lived for almost 120 years) Frame 25 Shuanshuan can see that Yi is with his family and the friends he met during his journey and they all were waiting for Shuanshuan to start a banquet to welcome him (Chien and Shanhai 9000 are there too). Frame 26 and 27 Shuanshuan still running, and step by step until he turns into a child again, even exausted he wont stop running. Frame 28, 29, 30, 31, 32 and 33 They are happy to see each other again, Everyone is having fun. the camera gets more distant and they desapear as they are turning into smoke and returning to the nothingness. THE END Now I don't know what each one could do in the last painels, so lets leave this to your imagination I'm not a native english speaker, so if there is an error with my writing let me know What do you think of this concept idea? is it good?

I went and got the 'True' Ending on my first playthrough, so I didn't see the regular one. Honestly... the standard ending seems like the good ending. In the true ending, Eigong condemns the entirety of the Solarian race to evolution, and Yi chooses extinction to stop her instead. Knowing everyone on Penglai was supposed to die, and with the destruction of New Kunlun, this implies Kuafu is the last Solarian left. Also, the cutscene at the end is just a flashback in the game. It's actually a factor for Yi becoming a Sol (and semi-parallels Ji becoming a Sol).

yeah, the "true" ending is significantly less satisfying than the "regular" ending. It's a little silly how you have to do extra work and fight an extra difficult final boss to get an ending that is, by all means, just worse then the regular ending.

It's annoying why they don't bring the apemen into the plot more. Like why are they immune to the Tianhuo virus? None of them sprouted whenever killed and that never bothered the Solarians apparently. They could just figure out a way to manifest that immunity to themselves so atleast the new generations will be immune or something. This plot is not that realistic anyway, if this happened to us we would ultimately do quarantine first and foremost basically seperating the healthy and the contaminated. And we are less advanced than them as well. The whole virus thing is never even explained properly like how they started, how it infects others and what their understanding of it. Overall, I think the world-building and aesthetics of the game is great but ultimately the weak point is the story itself.

It sucks that there's no endings other than suicide or rot. I wish they had an ending where Yi planted the bomb and left with the humans, that way we could see him die of old age{Since he'd no longer have immortality from the roots}, and join his sister then. Both endings give an unfinished feeling, which is a shame. Good game regardless! Love the video. Edit: I still love the 'good' ending. Though I do feel it makes Yi seem a bit shallow. He still doesn't mend his relationship with Kuafu, nor does he keep his promise to Shuanshuan. Feels like his character growth gets capped, since he still sees in only black & white.

@freshlymemed5680

Honestly I think it's a fitting end. Yi either never changes from what he once was, a stubborn person who is too focused on obtaining scientific improvements that only prolong his race's suffering. Or sacrificing his life to ensure the humans live on and end his race's misery. Him dying is fitting because his sister believes that the cycle of nature should be respected yet she revived him twice when he died, so him sacrificing his life for a good cause is his way of paying back his sister and he gets to meet her again in the afterlife.

@MauricioSzabo

There's a reason why Yi doesn't survive, and that's a cultural difference between oriental and occidental philosophies. The whole game is based on "Tao", which means "acceptance of the natural causes" (between many, MANY other things, and not as "clear" as "natural causes"). Yi should be dead AGES ago, when the Mystic Nymph exploded. When he sees that the primordial roots are infected, and he's the only one that can destroy, and there's no way he can escape because the whole place is covered by infected roots, he accepts what he should have accepted ages ago: that it's his time to go, to be reunited with his sister. Sure, it sucks for Shuanshuan, but he will also have to accept this lesson in time. Bittersweet ending indeed, and my occidental brain also wants for Yi to live, but that's because I still believe "life > death", and that's not how Taoism, and Buddhism, believes things to be.

You don't need to kill off your mc to prove he has had a character growth, what's the point of them becoming better individuals if they are not gonna be alive at the end to continue being those better people?. If you feel you need to kill off your main character at the end in order to leave an emotional impact its because you don't have confidence in your story up to this point and don't know how to write a happy ending. Each time i play a new game with this kind of dark setting where they show the character developing during the story in my mind i'm always like "sight, hes gonna die at the end right?"

​​​@@FlamedramonX sameeee... Ngl it would've hit harder and worked better if Yi got to live - with Kuafu and Shuanshuan and ensure humankind's bright future(maybe it would've evolved into sm like our modern world?) It's not only bc me being sad he's dead but like... What Kuafu and humankind will do once they reach the Pale Blue planet??? Like they went there completely bare. Kuafu is a genius sure, but it was still Yi's knowledge combined with his craftsmanship that they were able to create so much technology. Like, I don't look at this ending "saaad Yi died, want him alive"(although that's what I truly feel) but rather "ok, wtf are they gonna do if Yi dies? Die of cold, lack of medical knowledge, hunger or many many many other threats that could've been solved with Yi's intelligence?" As much as true ending hit feels, it just... Idk, like you said feels as a followed trope "if mc has character development they must sacrifice themselves without even a chance to show their growth" What about the consequences of Yi's death and no one but Kuafu there with humankind?

I think normal ending is no doubt bad ending though...when you come closer to see the background in 13:23 , and to think where are Kuafu and Shennon going, why Shuenshuen isn't the one playing Qiankun, what does she means 'waiting ages'. It seems to besomething fuck up...

ngl, I hope there's a DLC that brings in a third ending option. Neither of the two feel satisfying.

I just think it's annoying how Eigong decides to kill herself and start the planetwide evolution for Yi to have to sacrifice himself to destroy everything but only if he saves the apemen. In the bad ending Yi could have just gone to live with ShuanShuan on the bllue planet anyways. If Yi just said the right things he could have made it look like he was going to try and save the sols and waiting for Einong to die before he took the ship with all the apemen to the blue planet.

I can't say it's a good ending either. Yi went to Penglai, as nothing was standing before him that could oppose him. He created another soulscape there, killing god knows how many 'apemen' to achieve his selfish ideas of immortality. Shuanshuan also seemed extremely quiet and obedient, as if he was taught to be oppressed alongside other serving apemen. Him being closer to him seemed like he was Yi's "favourite pet servant". The girl on seat also heavily resembles Heng, Yi's dead sister.
