Some people believe this story contradicts Gerald's madness in SA2 and the government were too quick to change their minds. But Id like to think this adds more layers to his character. All of his research was for the betterment of mankind and to cure his granddaughter of her disease by creating the ultimate lifeform. Once GUN went after him and everyone on the ARK, Maria was unfortunately one of the victims and it drove him mad. This story reveals he wanted to help all along, stopping Black Doom's ultimate plan, and now that GUN feels remorse for misjudging the doctor, they wish to create a better future in his honor since essentially, his fall to madness was by their own hands.
Sonic Battle’s journals (which you only see if you clear a character’s episode a second time so that coupled with being on the GBA, it’s understandable people wouldn’t know) are also pretty clear in showing that Gerald was of sound mind the whole time until the fateful day where Shadow was sent down to Earth and Maria died. Also pretty evident from SA2’s ending that the Gerald from Last Story wasn’t the same man that Eggman idolized growing up, that something had to have changed in him, and it’s been consistent with how in all of his 3D Sonic appearances (and one of the 2D ones in Advance 3) that he’s never been on board with the idea of destroying the world the way maddened Gerald and other god like beings before and after him have tried. Damaged it, split is apart, sure, but as he says in this very game and to paraphrase, “How can I take over the [world] if there is no [world]?”
That... Was... AWESOME! I can't wait to see more Sonic games. You just have to keep going and fighting for everything, and one day, you'll get to where you want to be.
Thank you very much for the walkthroughs of the Shadow the Hedgehog games. I love a true ending, it always gives me a strong feeling. I love your walkthroughs of Sonic the Hedgehog games, will there be a walkthrough of this game in Japanese if there is one? It would be great to see your walkthrough of Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 in Japanese if you plan to. Anyway, thank you Cyberman65, you are the best!
Thanks for playing this game, man! Can't wait for "Sonic X Shadow" Generations and "Sonic Movie 3". Hope you and everyone are having a neat weekend! 👍👍
Thought it was good in its own way, but wish it was a bit longer. Maybe like another phase or two. Funny enough, if you let the fight last more than 9 minutes, there's another dialogue he can say.
