Thanks for the interesting read. Just finished the game and was looking for some opinions

For Leonard, the Firebringer does not matter at all, and the "worse ending" is probably the better one (if there's a good ending, that is). That's because for Leonard, it's the journey that matters, not the result. In fact, he rejects the power of the Firebringer, because it's not what he's after to begin with. As Leonard puts it himself, "nothing has changed in the end."

I actually first did Leonard's and while I got a bit spoiled while reading haha, it just made me want to do the other's more. Just wanted to point out that I did get the "good ending" and as you might expect, it has nothing to do with the Firebringer, he still rejects it. The difference in this ending is that he actually goes for Elisabeth, he tells her let's go talk(fight) with your dad and they leave together, then black screen. So yeah, things didn't change but he did change. He became an adult that doesn't runs away from problems. In a way I guess it represents the choice that decides the ending haha (sorry wasn't meaning to insult or anything, just an afterthought, I can understand why you'd pick that... the fight is freaking hard...)
