    Nothing aside from the End of an Era cinematic, but the way that he breaks his staff, loses hope, summons the energy required to send everyone away, and then struggles to hold himself up, smiling as everything around him gets brighter, all points to the intended interpretation being he died in noble sacrifice.

    If he survived, that's not him pulling off an unlikely ambiguity, we were misdirected for the sake of an emotional punch - which, I can't speak for everyone, but I think SE's better than that when it comes to a central character during the conclusion of a story arc.

    At this point, though, I'm preparing myself for the real possibility that those of us who think it'd be cheap to do anything other than let him rest in peace are just going to have to deal with it. Speaking for myself, I'm not uncompromising, but if they plan on bringing him back in any way, the execution is going to have to be pretty damn good for me to not just sigh at it. If that's where they're heading with it, I wish them the best of luck. The last thing I want to do is come off like one of those "fans" who just sits on the sidelines shouting nonconstructive put-downs.
