Troy Baker Says His Son Helped Him Grasp the Ending of The Final of Us Half I

For those who’ve performed The Final of Us Half I, you’ll know that the top is a little bit of an issue with the protagonist Joel giving up the potential for a remedy for the world so as to save only one particular person within the type of Ellie. Although lots of followers have argued about Joel’s alternative by way of the years, actor Troy Baker says it was his son that helped actually put the ending into perspective.

Speaking to Milan Video games Week (through @NaughtyNDC), Baker explains the care that he has for his son is akin to Joel’s in the case of Ellie by the top of the sport. Right here’s the submit:

‘Folks have requested me, ‘Why would Joel try this when he might have saved the world?’ and my reply to them is at all times this—he did, he did save the world. It’s simply that the world was that woman, and that’s it.”

I suppose it actually speaks to the theme of found-family and fatherhood in The Final of Us, seeing that Joel loses his daughter within the very starting of the sport, however decides to save lots of his new ‘daughter’ by the top of it. Even the visuals are the identical with Joel carrying each Sarah and Ellie to security.

In addition to being a stable horror/survival sport, The Final of Us manages to shine with its storytelling and lore, and that’s what makes the sport so nice after a decade since its launch. We don’t know the place a 3rd sport might go down the road, but when the story is something as sturdy because the second sport, I’m all in.

The Final of Us Half I and Half II are presently obtainable for PlayStation 4|5. Be careful for HBO’s The Final of Us which is about to premiere on Jan. 15, 2023.
