    False Ending

    Concept »

    A plot device where the story appears to be heading to a conclusion, but in reality there's still more to the story. For example, just when you think you've saved the world, the true final threat reveals itself. Often appears in Japanese RPG and visual novel titles.

    Short summary describing this concept.

    The most common example is when the world has been saved from the evil villain and the quest is over, or so the player is led to believe. That's when the game's real nemesis appears, and this new threat must be defeated to achieve the True Ending.
