I think that the ending actually does somethign that no other company has normally thought of doing when using the Judeo-Christian Mythos. First off, the entire reboot was meant to move away from the Japanese cultural perspective that the original series was built upon. So the company didn't see a need for over-the-top boss battles or over-the-top trasformations (I don't count the Dragon form as over-the-top because it's just a particular power, not necessarily a form in the strictest sense). Second, the companies wanted players and fans to speculate on what exactly the ending meant. LIke the fact that Dracula and Alucard have killed Satan. so the ultimate and source of all evil is destroyed. But what does that mean for evil overall? Does it go away from the world? And what is left of Dracula and Alucard now? They are both free of Satan and free of Fate. I think the ending was meant to resolve the game's general story, but allow fans and players to develop their own personal endings for Dracula/Gabriel and Alucard/Trevor.
