jason and lucia are getting a happy ending, i'm calling it now

Rockstar already did the gut punch ending with Red Dead. Twice if you count Arthur and John. GTA has never really gone that route, at least not in the HD era. GTA V's finale is basically a buddy comedy shootout with all three protagonists walking away rich and alive. Even the bad endings are optional and you can reload.

So I don't see them killing off Lucia or Jason. Partly because it'd be repetitive, but also because the whole dual protagonist setup seems built around both of them being playable through the endgame and free roam. If one dies, you lose half the activities, half the missions, half the world interactions. Rockstar wouldn't design two distinct characters with their own side content just to delete one at the end.

Maybe there are different endings though. Like you can choose to stay together or split up, get married or not. That feels more GTA. The twists and betrayals will probably come from NPCs around them, people you actually like, not the leads turning on each other. That's the smarter play.

I could be wrong. But I can't picture a post-credits Vice City where I'm only controlling one of them. That would feel broken.

What kind of ending do you think fits GTA 6 better, a clean ride off into the sunset or something messier?
