Ice Age isn't unbelievable. Nor are mutations and the like when humans would need to live in extremely limited space outside of their natural habitat. Lack of the sun and such is quite a big deal, as an example.
Then we have sci-fi elements. The game has weaknesses here which actually lead to plotholes and nonsense parts, which I have written about here in the past and I won't repeat, especially because details become blurry over time anyway. But it does have a few fun ideas, and while not all makes sense, one can deal with it.
But. The ending in itself is a major part of storytelling, as it wraps up key-elements, gives a message and so on. Plus it's the final thing you see of the game. An ending will obviously stick with you when you think of the story. And in this case it was just WAY to ideologic. Given the whole theme with "last humans" and whatnot, such an idyllic scene is just bad if you ask me. If you wanna do plot, do plot. This ending just feels so very different from the final parts of the game. So very unfitting. So inharmonic. Like an ending to a different game. Just so we get our little happy sappy ending. I don't like that. And I know this isn't the only Japanese story that does that. Nor is it the worst case of this particular pattern. It's still pretty bad though. And, the worst thing is: It was super unnecessary too. They could've just made the also kinda cliché but still more valid "a little budding plant in the middle of a giant wasteland" ending to symbolize a new beginning.

But yeah. In a way it's a bit my personal taste here. Ever since I played Atelier Totori and saw its true ending which literally fucks over all character development and makes everything you did in the game invalid, just for a fucking happy ending, I'm a little.. sensible when it comes to this kind of stuff. And mind you, other people don't even give a fuck, because what's bad about a happy ending, right? So yeah, have some Fuyune.

They don't exist. Don't believe them. They are just drunk.

Too much alcohol is bad folks.

That said, the reveal at the end of Akio's route was pretty fun. So the two "voiceless" talking people before the two arcs were the two Fuyune's huh. Oh Fuyune.
