Minato coming back was fanservice I liked.
In this case...I wouldn't have minded so much if SS and NH had simply happened. I would have been a little PO'd because the fanwars and the smug attitudes from them, the idea of "losing" because of that. But aside from that. Pairings weren't essential to a good ending. I just hate how the pairing fan service took over the entire series and robbed us of a good conclusion. It wouldn't be any better if NS had been the one to do that.
yeah, though Minato was heavily held back by PiS (not noticing naruto after the extraction, getting punked by Black zetsu, tripping, losing both arms),
the fact that peace was so forcly shoved in our mouths as the main goal for our heroes after nagato's introduction and then suddenly being glossed over as a "lets just beat the bad guy by teaming up, then we'll suddenly maintain peace!" just doesn't cut it for me as "believable". the ame orpahns are rolling in their graves. what happened to the rain village after konan's death? and last I checked, the sand, rock and mist villages were having a pretty bad economy. where's orochimaru and taka? why are they still training kids to be ninja's in peace time? what do ninja's do now? surely D and C ranked missions won't pay most of the bills and you don't need to be a ninja to babysit or hunt wild animals. was the hyuuga changed? seems the elders got away with the uchiha stuff by keeping it swept under the rug and died happily. don't get me started on the modernization of buildings and technology. oh and this has absolutely nothing to do with pairings so...
all we got were pairing babies and an advertisement for part 3 and the last. both of which are desperate cash grabs. the last didn't answer ANY of these questions nor did it make me like Naruhina or hinata at all, the designs were garabe (well except maybe sakura's winter outfit...i just find her fur neck collar to be too cute! >w<) naruto looked like a butt hole with that short hair to match his new personality, the villain was more pathetic than obito if thats even possible, oui...
like many people have said, its probably a good thing NS wasn't involved with this tripe of a "conclusion" with no questions answered or were withheld just to stretch this cash cow longer than it needed to be.
