So yesterday I had my final round interview. This morning I get an email from the HR recruiter that I have been emailing with the past month. This person just sets up the calls with the PMs who I have spoken to, however this call today is with the HR person. Am I getting a rejection? Would they have said that in an email? If it was an offer wouldn't those who interviewed me be calling back?

Hard to imagine a rejection via phone call. At most places, you're lucky to even get a rejection by email. Typically you figure it out when you never hear back.
It's not unusual for the HR rep to deliver your offer. They're trained to have these discussions and combat your attempts to negotiate a higher salary.
This sounds like a good thing, but be prepared for anything.
Thank you for your reply. I know the hiring process can be different everywhere so there really is no telling, but I really hope you are right. This is my last hope.
I concur with the people that say it's a positive sign. For every position out there, HR has to give 1 acceptance and tons of rejections. If they called every person they rejected they would be on the phone ALL day, right? So if they're taking the time to call you then I would be optimistic.
Let us know how it goes.
Y'all were right; I got an offer! I am beyond excited
I would view this as a positive sign - HR people often deliver only offers via phone, never rejections. At worst it might be to talk about a next round of interviews, if that's even possible.
