,That's basicly how I see it as well... I see the baby as a sort of "rebirth" of the race... The race is now a peacful race, but since it was so tainted before, the rest of the world will still fear them..,,Which brings us to the story of ICO..

That's how I'm viewing it, this caused the whole cursed children with horns lineage.,

I ALMOST made it out of the sucking vortex at the end. If you tap the jump button in just the right pattern and travel along the edge of the area (near the broken statues) you can make it really far. I made it with 5 feat of the altar where she resting, then the phone rang and I just gave up because I had been taping for about 35 mintues and my hand was about to break. Please let me know if it is possible to escape the vortex...
It doesn't seam like you are suppose to be able to, and that the opertunity to try is just for immersion sake, but then again there could be somthing here...

,,well, i just finished the game six minutes ago and i had to see what other people thought. when agro fell, i was upset too. i was wondering though, do you need him to jump that distance? is it too far for you alone? i only tried it with him, not without. anyways, as to the baby, i think its the dude youve been playing.
,at the end of the game, you had horns and then you fell in the pool. later, theres a baby with horns...in the pool. im not really sure how id explain why your a baby, but it really hurts my head to think that dormin, you, a pool of water, and a magic sword made a baby......with horns

If you try to cross the bridge without Agro the bridge will collapse and you will fall to your death. You have to use Agro in that part because he fast enough to make it to the other side before the entire bridge breaks.
As for the baby, I too believe it's our Wanderer. Lord Emon says at the end, "If you can still exist in these seal lands... maybe you can have atonement for your misdeeds." (It's something like that...) I believe it's the Wanderer being rebord to have a "second chance," per se. Lord Emon's statement about the Wanderer's atonement got me thinking about that. On a personal level, I think the Wanderer is receiving this second chance for putting his beloved before himself--he dared to go to a sacred land and risk his life to bring her back, and for that, he has a second chance of life too (just like his love).
,Oh, I don't mean to sound childish or immature in any way, but did any of you notice that you can see the baby's penís in the end? I have no problem with this, but I was kind of surprised after seeing it. (With Jack Thompson and all these other problems going on...) It's amazing that the team even added in small details like that.
