Which FreeSpace has the best ending?

I mean which FreeSpace has the best end mission, destroying the Lucifer in subspace or escaping the Capella supernova?

Personally, I think FreeSpace 1 has the best ending because for the first time you play it is the first time you see inside subspace and well, it's intense.

I'd say FS2. FS1 is great but it's a bit more derivative. When I started playing FS1 I just knew that the shivans would be defeated by the end of the game. With FS2 I thought something similar until the 80 saths popped up. I loved that the game ended with humanity running with their tails between their legs.

Fs2 had a good ending...after i heard snipes say 7th santhas i knew something was goin down....just didn't know what...

Freespace 2, because Petrarch's monologue is worlds better (Pun intended ) than that weird, Terminatorish, Alpha 1 monologue.

I way preferred FS1, b ut I played both games without cutscenes at first, and even without voice. FS1 was just a bit more, well, final. FS2 felt too much like an open end, and it was too possible to loose the mission but still win the game.

I like the Intro and Outtro Video in Freespace:The Great War. The Story  in FS2 is great, but i don't like the endling of FS2.

Forgot to mention that Robert Loggia does a great job there.

Freespace 1. The first time you get to fly inside Subspace, and take out the Lucifer. Funnily, this mission is one of the easiest in the whole campaign (on medium).

I think FS1 had the better ending. The ending of FS2 was rather unsatisfying.

FS1 had the better athmosphere. Is was somehow more mysterious.

FREESPACE 1!

Both are good.

Actually, I feel that FS1 actually leaves more questions in the story compared to the one in FS2.

In FS1, all you know you have destroyed Lucifier and saved Earth. But what of the millions of human colonists beyond Sol star system? Are they doomed? What about the Vasudans? After all, the Shivans are still perfectly capable of offensive operations without the Lucifer.

Then FS2 came alone and said the shivans fell apart after the loss of the Lucifer. I must admit it allows for "new toys" like beam cannons and flak guns.

I go with "both good". Though FS1 has a much more atmospheric feeling... you know you have to stop the Luci. or humanity is doomed.

Well, there was Silent Threat (for what it was worth).

Fs1 all the way!

"DIVE DIVE DIVE!!! HIT YOUR THRUSTERS PILOT!!!"

That should say it all

[Gloriano]

Fs1 did have good ending but FREESPACE 2 is Still better

[TopAce]

When I first finished FS2, I felt the plot was unfinished.
FS2 ended so suddenly.

It's 'Burners', not thrusters, and FS1 was better anyway. So

[Lightspeed]

... 0wned.

But why still discuss, we're winning 11:4 anyway

Also, FS1 Vasudan Translators rocked more than the lamer FS2 ones. The Terrans must have made the second generation, and decided the Vasudans needed to sound more alien...
