I don't know if 8000 is actually possible or not. I know that in order to have the "shepard breathing" ending, you need an EMS of 5000. For my 63% Galactic Readiness, I would have needed 8000. (Whether that's possible I don't know).
I know you also get additional war assets from importing characters from previous games that you DO NOT get just playing through ME3.
However, as I said, the "best" possible ending is with an EMS of 5000. If your Galactic Readiness is 100%, then you'll need military assets of 5k. If it's less than 100%, you'll need more. But if all you're after is the "synergy" (green 'splosions) ending, just go ahead and finish it out, because you're there, I'm sure.
It's also worth noting that bioware clearly has completely misunderstood their own lore, they are going to be delivering an "extended cut" of ME3: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://blog.bioware.com/2012/04/05/mass-effect-3-extended-cut/">http://blog.bioware.com/2012/04/05/mass-effect-3-extended-cut/</a><!-- m -->
Specifically "For fans who want more closure in Mass Effect 3, the DLC will offer extended scenes that provide additional context and deeper insight to the conclusion of Commander ShepardÔÇÖs journey."
*sigh* They still don't get it, but whatever. Karpyshyn was clearly the "big picture" guy over at bioware, and I suspect the Star Wars MMO took a lot of creative energy away from Mass Effect.
Ending sucks, no matter what you do, the end. :finger:
