More like so much stuff is left hanging. Then again that's kind of expected from you, both meta with the update schedule and in the plot itself.

That's so PC of you

Honestly, i still enjoy it a great deal. Clearly the style of the comic and it's storytelling have aged, but it's still consistent (hell, most webcomics aren't!). If i'm not mistaken as of now we're past End Game from the original Final Fantasy. That fact alone and by itself already kills any idea of this being a "Let Down" or a "Cop Out", simply because nobody thought Brian was going there. Most of us thought this would be over already.
There is easily still a couple hundred comics in here if Brian chooses to, or it can be over by the end of the month, either way, the ride will come to an end above expectations |

I mean not tryin' to sound spoiled or anything, I understand it's entirely your discretion as to when and how 8BT ends and I'm pretty satisfied regardless. I'd just prefer to know whether I should keep showing up at midnight in anticipation for another update. It'd be great to get even a few sentences to the effect of "It's Over" when it really does end: the alternative just seems like yankin' our chains. As for the lack of consistent updating lately, I honestly haven't minded: I feel like HIKYM (if not Warbot) has quite consistently and awesomely filled in the gaps, and increasingly I'm coming here for HIKYM instead of 8BT anyways, which is probably a good thing in terms of Brian's future. (Brian's expanding from the near-finished project to something new and equally awesome.)

There's probably one more page to go. But I'm not making any promises no when it'll show up until I have a clear idea of how it'll work.

One more strikes me as exactly the right amount to wrap things up.

Like, will it be sort of a special THE END length strip or can we expect a longer and/or special TYPE of page? Or will it just be a typical normal final page?

Frankly, given the quality of everything else Brian's doing, I'm happy to see 8-bit end. If it went on any longer, it would really become just an afterthought as Brian (rightfully) focuses more and more of his attention on his other (and better) projects.
8-bit had a good run, and I haven't missed one since I started reading around episode 100 (goddamn), but it really needs to step down and make room for other things. For a while, I've been far more eager to check this site on Mondays and Fridays than on Tuesdays and Thursdays, anyway. |

I can't imagine the final page of the comic would be devoted to giving them any context beyond what we now know: They're just hallucinations or something. |
