Attention! Below are spoilers for the finale of The Last of Us: Part II. If you have not yet familiarized yourself with the game and are planning to do so, then it is better to refrain from reading this news note.
Recall that the final scene of The Last of Us: Part II takes place on a secluded farm where Ellie, Deanna and little JJ lived after the events in Seattle. In the release version of the project, Ellie walks through an empty house, finds her old guitar, remembers, and then leaves the territory, allowing the players to interpret what happened on their own.
However, in earlier versions of the script, this episode was structured a little differently, Gross said. The scene also took place in an empty house, only instead of a guitar Ellie picked up JJ’s lost toy, hid it in a backpack and soon left the farm. As the screenwriter explains, in this way she and Druckmann hoped to end the story on a lighter note, explaining to the audience that after everything that happened, Ellie went in search of Dina. However, the team eventually abandoned the draft, leaving the final more open.
