I too was dissappointed with the ending. You kinda go "Oh, okay, so that's it huh?" I was still entertained by it though (who'd have thought that the narrator was a.... don't wanna spoil it for any who haven't beat it yet) And the fact that Valkyrie and Zenmaster come
SO late in the game was a major let down. However I've heard of some people (and started this myself to some extent) playing through the game with only their Zenmaster or Valkyrie. This way you can enjoy the awesome power of these roles and you can also get to insanely high levels as well (I've heard of a level 520 Zenmaster once). And if you really wanna be powerful, find a Murakata No-Dachi (I THINK that's the strongest weapon without boosting) and boost it as many times as you can on Damage. With 7 damage blesses in will do 17-45 damage in 1 hit! And with a 24 strength I've done as much as 85 damage without any critical hits or traits like arm of argus and fury! Another fun thing to do in your second time is to try many different party combos, it can be very fun and/or difficult.
My recommendation is this: PLAY AGAIN!!!
