Well, this is my twenty cents...
Ryuki:
[HIDE]Ryuki's ending was definitely The End, Kanzaki Yui decided there's no happyness in living her life like that by sacrificing other in the rider war and her brother Shiro finally accepted her opinion for the sake of love as a brother, and so they used the power that was collected from the rider war (think of all the life force of the people that was eaten by the mirror monsters and the life force of the mirror monsters that were defeated and absorbed by the riders' contract monsters.)
They recreated the world and probably changed the miserable life of some of the riders getting rid of the reasons they joined the rider war in the first place, and then both Yui and Shiro pulled themselves out of the picture, rendering themselves non-existance and so the rider war would never exist.

Faiz:
[HIDE]Faiz wasn't quite open ended as well, heck there's no ending to Orphenoch-Human battle. The Orphenoch is an eventual evolution of human kind, they will continue to be born amongst human, especially natural ones like Kiba and Yuka... The Orphenoch King is the ultimate level of their evolution, heck, he's suppose to be Immortal as I heard (I bet they based the Undead on this idea), that's why he wasn't destroy... He is the key to the Orphenoch's continue survival which is to truly achieve immortality and rid of their fragile human side - this is probably why the former president of Smart Brain changes side and gave the belts to his adopted children, I think - something like Magneto switching side and becoming Pro. X...
The story only ended with the Takumi and gang, that was the story of their life. And we should have gotten a sequel! :shakefist [/HIDE]
And I agreed with what JFC said...
