FFIVPSP The End — The End in *Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection*.

"The End", also known as "Fin", is a common phrase used at the end of numerous works of fiction, including many Final Fantasy games after defeating the final boss. The ending screen is usually a black background with bold text "The End".

There is no input generated while in this screen and so one of the options can be to punch in a special code for a minigame like in Final Fantasy IX, or to turn off the system. After a few minutes, the "Prelude" plays, and in some cases in the early games a star field will scroll out of the screen.

Final Fantasy X

Template:Sideicon "The End" appears between a white symmetrical type symbol featuring the Yevon and Jecht symbols on a black screen. "To Zanarkand" plays in the background.
