I'll post it as soon as my SE comes in. It said it should be delivered Monday, but we'll see.
And I for one, loved the ending.  It was sad but at the same time, it was nice to see other than as Serio pointed out, the lame ass Saturday Morning ending.  I mean Dawn's was just pure crap (Bad ending = way better) and while the girls got to say goodbye to Wind was kinda sad...it was still crap because Charlotte was allowed to open her mouth and speak during it.
It was actually a quite touching ending and her smiling at the end was beautiful, but again, so sad.  Hell, I wish more Castlevania's had sad endings (it's why I loved Lament's...). The good guys win the day but it's not promised they get the prize at the bottom of the cereal box either. (Though I'll admit, I've started Albus Mode and it's a little sadder to play now that I know he didn't actually survive.)
Besides. The entire game was worth it just to see Dracula channel Rugal.  Or better yet, watch Shanoa pull a Reppuken with that wind move.  I mean, HOW AWESOME WAS THAT?!
