That was the original ending but apparently after seeing how popular aot got he decided to change it. Who knows what the hell will happen now.
He no longer wants to kill all of his characters anymore. However, he did say that he wanted to hurt his readers with the ending... so.. yeah
I read somewhere the author planned from the very beginning to kill all the characters, so it is a possibility the question is not "if", but "when". I'm starting to feel anxious about the ending, I just want to know what happens, the story is now too complicated to enjoy. Everyone dies, there is no fun in that to me, just let it end.
