@Shiftshaper: The topic has the word "ending" in the name. I'm pretty sure we're covered for spoilers.

But I don't want to offend anyone. Don't worry, I'll edit the post.

I'm not trying to lecture you or something but unless the topic has spoilers in the title it's pretty much a spoiler-free discussion, even if it's about the ending. About a month ago in episode 63 I believe when Jeff(or Vinny, dont remember) mensioned he found out about mutiple endings he said he did so on the forums, that could be this thread.

But i'm getting off-topic here so i'll be quiet now.

Plus, if they get the good or true ending, they get to sleep with one of the girls!

I think its a bit easy just pick the inbetween responses 

not the kill em option

or the run away option

and even if they do chose the wrong response, they prompt you in saying "are you reeeeeeaaaaaaallllly sure about this?"

It doesnt work like that. If you pick the wrong response once you dont get a second chance, you will still get to choose what to do, but the bad ending will be triggered.

They will definitely get bad ending.100% sure unless they read FAQ or get help from others.

I'm currently on episode 43 and haven't played the game. 

But i bet that they would be way more happy with true ending, after reading this topic.

Can someone enlighten me with hints, but not so much spoilers as to what I should be looking out for in order to get the good ending or true ending?

^ Yeah, i don't get it too. It's depends on dialogue options, fusing personas or other shit?

 My sense tells me that in order to get good ending you need to be good. But this game isn't so obvious.

@CaptainObvious:
I wish it would be that causal. Its really just dialogue choices that aren't really obvious. I put up a good performance and still got the band ending the first time, because I did one wrong dialogue option.

Yep.

Okay, I figured how to get the good ending. Complicated as hell. Hopefully I get it right when the time comes.

I didn't think it was THAT hard to avoid the bad ending, but I did have to put the controller down for a minute and think about what was going on. That scene is really emotional.

@Nasar7: Yeah, that scene was really morally aggravating. Is this the right thing to do? Did he just suggest what I think he suggested, after we worked so hard at preventing it?

Bar the not saving a certain someone, does the bad ending only happen when it happens?
Or are there things earlier on that must be decided on.
I.e. at the very start of the game, me not saying hello to someone would that result in a bad ending or is it only around the same time period anything can be affected.

I think theres only a certain scene which decides what ending you get. I hope they don't get it, or at least reload and look up how to get further cause the game really doesnt feel right to end there.

I really honestly think Jeff & Vinny would mess it up without any prior knowledge. If all they knew beforehand was that the dialogue choices in that scene determine the ending, I think they would catch on and maybe get it right. It would be preferable if they just knew what choice to pick from the get-go, though. However, I think if they got the bad ending, they would already be so far into the game that they would be willing to break their own rules.

I haven't seen any of the three bad endings, but the thing I wouldn't mind seeing is a failure of the next dungeon.  Not the Naota one, but the one after that.  The fog coming to town would have to be one of the most depressing scenes in the game.

Getting the good ending is not a difficult task. I got it on my first try with no help. And to get the best ending, was easier. I love how the developers made you think and go against the choices the game throws at you so that you can unlock the true ending. More reasons as to why this game has found its place as one of my top favorite PRG's of all time.

I'm pretty sure they know the deal by now or, at the very least, once they get to that point they will.  When it gets there, it will more than likely be a matter of whether or not they want to do this endurance run any longer, or not.

Getting the good ending isn't hard.  I managed to do it my first time.  Now getting the true ending...that might take some help.

i think the true ending is hella more obvious than avoiding the bad one.

and its not like it deletes your save once you get an ending, you can go back :p.

Time question here.  If they get the bad ending, how much more would they have to play compared to what they'd have to play to get any of the other endings?

" They are nearly 25 hours into the game and are maybe 1/5th through the game...honestly it will take them at least 125 hours to beat it and will most likely stop by then (figure another 100 episodes+ at 1 hour each, on top of that if they die at all), that will be atleast another 6 months to complete it. Also they will NOT get the good ending unless they follow a guide on their first play through. I am literally up to that ground breaking part of the game myself; 51 hours in after the final exams, the night before the dialogue is going to happen which controls the ending. I have not used a guide until this point as from another thread finding out about it and from a friend that just finished the game today. They will need one, its 6 sentences that need to be responded to properly and ya...good luck with that. "
They are 50 hours in. Also I know for a fact that Persona 4 is not 125 hours long. Why would they stop? If they get stuck(which they wont the game is pretty straight forward) they could just check a guide they are not going to stop 100 episodes in and just say "yeah we got tired of this game so fuck you if you want to see the ending."

Beyond the bad ending point, there's one dungeon prior to the normal ending, and the final dungeon for the true ending.  I can't say how long that would take in terms of hours.

You quouted a post from weeks ago? why?

They are more than 50 hours in now and I beat it in 65 with a true ending. The reason why they I expect them to take much longer is due to the fact they talk and aren't always playing. They are making commentary.

I'm betting that they will look up the correct answers beforehand and follow them while pretending to not know what they are doing.
