SMT Persona 3: Bad End

[TheTheYozhman]

Technically

The Bad ending is pretty looks like a Good Ending because no one cries

but.. The Good ending is pretty much looked like Bad Ending beacause Protagonist dies..

Mind=Blown

[Mr0901]

I'm still waiting for The Fall

[reido66]

So with this ending, the dark hour doesnt subside?

[XDevilAngelXoX]

@MissArisa98 Amen.

[XDevilAngelXoX]

@Roddick; No, no, no.... Yosuke isn't just cute. He's fuckin' sexy :I.

[FadeEsdrasX]

It's so good... I am so happy I played the entire story line.

[MultiAncafe]

This ending makes me cry

I will finish game with a happy ending

[Rodrigo23X]

@MultiAncafe haha the happy ending is still a sad ending XD

[Thepokemonabides]

wow they're all going to die and they didi'nt even know it...

[yukifan7]

-flips a table- fUCK ! ATLUS DONT MAKE ME ATTACHED TO A GAME AND MAKE SUCH A DEPRESSING ENDING!

[HeavyMechNS]

This is the bad ending because Minato survives but in the good ending and seals himself and dies. Wait that can't be right ?

[Craig12390]

@HeavyMechNS Everyone dies in this ending since Nyx was never stopped in this ending. Pretty sure that everyone dying qualifies as a bad ending..

[flagy345]

one day i thought "Well i heard that if i kill Ryoji there will be a bad ending"

so on my second time playing i killed him end expected some thing like the end of the world you know blood all over and body parts flying around but no...

What a let-down *sigh*

[LuteXLux]

Before I even played Persona 3 I watched this ending, thinking I would never end up playing this.

Then I played this, and watched it again. I hadn't realize just exactly how depressing this was.

[MewgleMario]

I know that this is sad and all, but, seriously, how awkward would it have been for the guy who was sitting next to Yukari? He would've been like, "DON'T SAY ANYTHING DON'T SAY ANYTHING DON'T SAY ANYTHING."

Good times.

[samuspoonschief]

Best game ever made. <3

[Revan579]

wow thats depressing

[SmashGenesis]

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU MAKE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TALKING ABOUT THEIR FUTURE THIS GODDAMNED DEPRESSING? CURSE YOU, DRAMATIC IRON. CURSE. YOU.

[assura17]

that's a bad ending for aegis D:

[AkemiNatsune]

The bad ending is he not die? the good ending he die......WTF!? THATS CALLED ENDING!? ITS TWISTED!!!

[KirbyCom]

@AkemiNatsune

No, he still dies.

[AkemiNatsune]

I will ask my friend buy this game FES ver and i will go to her home to play this! XD Since i only have PSP and she have PSP and PS2!

[Kiobeshinobi]

This game is perfect...

Anyways, Persona 4 is even better.

[RonWeasley41]

that's not a bad ending!

[Awesomeman37]

@RonWeasley41 Yeah it is because they did not stop Nyx, which means they are all going to die.

[stickmanymickmany]

Why does it say "Kill Ryoji" when he shoots himself? :O

[divineguy321]

@stickmanymickmany Play the game before you ask questions please....

[Awanis69]

@stickmanymickmany god damn it xD by shooting himself he summon persona

[stickmanymickmany]

@Awanis69 I haven't played this so it might sound dumb... but what will this Persona do? :D

[Awanis69]

@stickmanymickmany summon a monster from your soul and its fight for you

[stickmanymickmany]

@Awanis69 Oh so this monster will then kill Ryoji? :P

Why dont you just shoot Ryoji from the start? Or is he to powerful for that?

[GaleStromProductions]

@stickmanymickmany Thats how he summons his persona

[stickmanymickmany]

@GaleStromProductions And when he summons his persona, he kills Ryoji with it?

[Ashbigbear]

ive realised the bad ending music is exactly the same as the good ending. I was expecting a gloomy sounding track, like the one in P4's bad ending to come on. But I really like the fact that it doesnt change. Memories of you always makes me feel quite depressed because I finished the game, but at the same time proud that I made a right choice, and saved the world. But on the bad ending, it's quite annoying as it feels like its mocking you with a cheery song. In a nutshell, its friggin awesome!

[lifeofasalesman01]

lol? so apparently if u choose to kill ryoji then ALL of that gameplay afterwards is just lost? u just skip to this part and everyone dies? wow...

[chuchu2019]

I thought they would show the fall... awwwww D: and when did aigis become a stalker..?

[DestinyIslander2000]

@chuchu2019

Actually that's because Aigis remembers everything from before the MC kills Ryoji as she's a robot.

The others, of course, don't.

[chuchu2019]

@DestinyIslander2000 lol i know, but its the way she approaches them :D

[gare40]

what is so bad about this ending

[Rahman413]

@gare40

i think they were supposed to die around that day.and they totally forgot about meeting aigis at the rooftop.

[BreakAyanami]

@Rahman413 actually the main character was supposed after he fought Death..no one else and aigis and him where at the rooftop for his final moment.... of course before that everyone forgot about the fighting and the Fall and remembered at the part when Misuri (srry i know i spelled wrong) says her speech...

[DestinyIslander2000]

@gare40

Uh...the fact that they don't remember ANYTHING about each other, the Dark Hour, their journeys to Tartarus... They don't remember Akihiko, Mitsuru, Aigis, Fuuka, Mitsuru and Yukari don't know the real reason their fathers died...

And the worst part is that since Aigis is a robot she still keeps that data. She remembers everything from before.

Don't you find that sad?

[cenajohn56]

@gare40 they are all gonna die in a few months but have no idea its going to happen

[FrankfordBoxMuffin]

DAMN IT I WANTED TO SEE THEM ALL DIE!

[sorauzamaki212]

when do you meet ryoji

[DestinyIslander2000]

@sorauzamaki212

Sometime in November.

[Agusloquillo]

"Let's celebrate our future!"

Me: No! Let's make even better! Let's celebrate our future in January!

[silentasasin93]

im glad the bad ending sucks, it makes you want to always choose the good ending...

[HolyRain89]

@silentasasin93 for real, who would want to just go and avoid everything and live until the fall destroy the world.

If it was a real case, the person would be as dumb as an eggplant if he planning to do that.

[jshawn777]

ever wonder why yukari is the only student wearing a diff uniform for the juniors?

[jshawn777]

i thought you couldnt use your persona outside the dark hour???!!!!

[HolyRain89]

@jshawn777 nope, it can, they just don't use it because they might scared people who doesn't know they existed.

[jshawn777]

@HolyRain89 true never though of that thanks bud

[GreenVirus76]

I made two save files at the point of making a decision.

Woot~ I picked a good ending

And I don't want to see this one because it SUCKS! So I'm deleting the other save file.

[dvbones]

*after 9:24*

D: .....

WTF.

That was a dumpster truck slapping you right in the damn face!!!D:

[sorakeyblade100]

Ryoji: Also, I'll be reborn as a headphone wearing guy named Yosuke, hopefully nothing eventful will happen to him.

[RoddickFarrence589]

@sorakeyblade100 Yosuke's totally different! No! Yosuke's cuter!

[xcqThieves]

After those full moon missions, after climbing that damn huge Tartarus, and after those unbreakable bonds have been made...

This ending is a slap to the face.

[I6H0M]

Every time I hear the song at the end, that Kimi no Kioku, I get depressed. :(

[jqlee]

so in the bad ending everybody loses their memories bout SEES?

[Krosbryd]

Dear Atlas,

You're all a bunch of sick ****s who get off on the tears of your players, caused by not only insanely difficult games, but also emotionally scarring plots.

And I love you guys for it.

[LuchiaxXx]

Terrible ending! :p

[GRthirty3]

The things Yukari says during the assembly.... so cruelly ironic.

[NintendoblivionX]

@GRthirty3 If you played Persona 4 then it is about as funny as it gets XD

[GRthirty3]

@NintendoblivionX Well, I have, and I know it's non-canonical, but I meant for this ending and what was about to happen, it's pretty bad.

[TheYuriBabe]

I saw where it changed when Mitsuru was talking. When I played through I let him live. XD I'm glad now.

[FrizFroz]

This is the best yet worst, happiest yet most cruel ending I've ever seen in a video game. You spent much of the game building s-links and changing lives and then everything is rendered useless because you decided to chicken out. A year later, everyone has a happy-sing-song mood due to their ignorance and yet you the player feel so empty. Then the screen blacks out and its all your fault.

Both the "good" and the "bad" ending make me feel... fucked up. And that is a good thing. Well done Atlus.

[BluntmanEXE]

@FrizFroz It's prolly even more painful in P3P if you're playing as the FeMC, since Ryoji's a potential boyfriend.

[NeonManX12]

that sucked like crap thank god i choosed let him live lol

[Priska235]

so.. it means that if we reach good end, only minato die. but bad end, everyone die(including minato) but they still have a fun party LOL @ karaoke!! Yihaa!!

[tommybui]

atleas thsi ending your main character doesnt die. and don t forget nyx didn t come cose he or she comes at 31 januari. and look its 3 march. so its asif nothign happened but they lose their bond. and aigis got into depression.

[FoxyAreku]

Actually, everyone dies. It just doesn't show it. The fall isn't prevented and the end of the world happens a few months later.

[Songcompiler]

ah man so that was the fucking ending how sad

[AutisticWolf]

@Songcompiler only if you choose poorly.

[Meisgeniusidiot]

and thus mc died that night due to drunk driving

[Mirokon]

And thus the days ended... without hope... =(

this is really the worst of all endings....

see ya dude, gotta kick some nyx's ass... xD

[SeyeRxRotseN]

Hey why is he called MC instead of MA from the Manga Minato Arisato? Someone tell me please?

[MrSonicHog]

@SeyeRxRotseN MC = Main Character yeah I hope this helps

[SeyeRxRotseN]

@MrSonicHog Oh okay, thanks man

[FermentedBeancurd92]

@SeyeRxRotseN MC is an abbreviation for main character. the manga adaption gave him a name just because. that's about all i know

[Riza683]

人生の意味は死である

誰も永遠に生きることができます

私はまだ悲しい彼はこのような若い年齢で死んでいくのだ

sayounaraのminato_sensei

[TheCheesyTurtle]

The MC is an ass here for killing Ryoji...

Mitsuru will probably be cold as ice, due to her father dying and the company running her life.

Yukari lost all commitment to her promise with her father, and is probably a normal teenage girl now.

Junpei's sucks.....a lot. The girl he loved he cant even remember she gave him life...she must be crying right now.

Akihiko and Ken also mustve not thought of shinji's death as important, more like stupid.

Fuuka is back to a shy, girl who's easily tossed

[rotenburk]

@TheCheesyTurtle what about aigis?

[shinobaiders]

Continuation of what I said. - Anyway I laughed through the video "Hey MC/Minato! Let the good times roll." I don't know how many of you guys did this but I laughed REALLY HARD. "THERE WILL BE NO GOOD TIMES. YOU'LL ALL BE DEAD." However I must admit. Like a lot of people I expected to see Nyx kill everyone. I remember choosing this ending the 2nd playthrough by accident and I was ignorant of a bad ending. Later I understood....and laughed.

[shinobaiders]

It would suck so badly if this happened in real life. I would just be chilling around all day casually laughing. Graduation party. "Oh hey what's your future...?" and then I'll be "I dunno I guess I'm gonna be a---" Oh wait. I'm suddenly sleeping. Of course if I knew it was coming I'll be "Sure! I'm about to die in about oh I don't know...5 seconds?"

[TheCheesyTurtle]

Junpei: So MC....think we're gonna make it through high school and get laid our senior year?

MC: I guess so.....but why do have this strange feeling.....

(a few days later...MC was tested for STD's) XD

[WeaponXSigma]

The only disappointing thing about this end is that it didn't show nyx destroying everything. That would've made this ending more of an "adding insult to injury" type of bad ending

[Huskie297]

HAH! Smile and Nod!

[dgrayman009]

Wow. That sucked. Lol I expected a cutscene where Nyx comes down goes all Annihilation on everyone. Cept we get the credits. XD

[Icegame0012]

hey yukari sounds like takaya on that part

7:40

[DividebyAumarask8]

Uuuh I don't get it, when you choose to let ryoji live, the MC dies? and when you want to kill ryoji, The MC lives? Can someone sexplain to me nicely what just happend?

[moviemaniac10]

Live Ryoki. You Live for an extra 3 months (1 month is playable and about 2 days in the last month)

Kill Ryoji: U forget everything that happens and u end up dieing in the end you just don't knows it coming

[LadyMingYee]

:P I'm not done with the game yet...but I just wanted to see what it was like to get the bad ending...yuck! I'm definately not getting this...bitter ending...I'm going to surprise myself with the GOOD ending! XD

[IlianaZtv]

Did you get the answer? And this is not FES right?

[ColdSilentWinter]

I expected something a bit more terrifying.

[etiv23]

I think this is a better ending than what you get from finishing P3 FES:The Answer. I was bummed.

[anonymous71207]

it's not because now everyone's dead

[shenmuemasta]

What's truly wrong about this is that everyone had decided not to kill Ryoji, but you choose to kill him anyway.

[xxxOMGSweetxxx]

Wow, this actually feels more uplifting than the Good Ending, although everyone dies in this one.

[TheCheesyTurtle]

@xxxOMGSweetxxx lol no its not, minato ruined every SEES member's character development.

[phantomDARKNIGHT]

Damn! I wanted to see the end of the world. What a disappointing bad ending.

[Gaaralver2damax]

I bet people picked this ending to see Nyx come and smite them when their all happy, and talking about the future.

[persona4ful]

i alawais fight Nix its easy

[avrilfantasyrin]

i never want to kill Ryoji,that's why i always get the good ending..

[yippee9]

Perfect crime main character d-bag kill ryoji everyone won't even know it and then DIE thought technocally it is a really DARK ending cause the death process is Slow everyone becomes vegitarian Zombies of sorta and just the whole worls starves to death and then i assume Nxy what a douche move that was and blows her all powerful brains out LOL

[netsrikeel7]

Dear god you know what I just realized? Whenever the worldwide Apathy syndrome hits, it'll come out of friggin' NOWHERE. One day you're chilling after school at Paulownia, maybe playing that fucking crane game again because it's a cheap bastard, and BAM. Suddenly, you don't feel like doing...anything. And neither does anybody else.

And everybody just...lies down.

[netsrikeel7]

"You think anything exciting will happen next year?"

A snowy January with a 100% chance of DOOM.

[Whiteblade17]

i like to know these things when it comes to persona because you can spend ages doing things in the game and it turns around and gives you an ending like this which is utter bs

[zombieiscool]

Poor Aigassssssssssssss,

[Lucykinz96]

is ryoji yosuke

[diamyo42]

@Lucykinz96 yup, Yuri Lowenthal voices Ryoji, MC/Minato, Pharos and Yosuke ^^

[diamyo42]

@Lucykinz96 Yup Yuri Lowenthal voices Ryoji, Pharos, MC/Minato and Yosuke

[kakaze]

what a naff ending, i was expecting a chrono trigger style big flashy end

[paulpwn69]

you need to play the game

[xxxOMGSweetxxx]

So,I'd take it that Nyx,in the clever disguise of the credits,kills everyone and destroys the world!?

[ChocoboKitsune]

"Next year it'll be our turn!"

Except it won't be. Because you're dead.

[RokkerXD]

Ironicly, you die in both endings...

Thats's messed up, even though the one you where you defeat Nyx was a sacrifice to save the whole world.

Sometimes, sacrifices have to be made, even though it doesn't seem right.

Anyways...I love Persona.

[GristleBone]

Man. Other developers gotta take a lesson from this game on how to make a bad ending. Not just one where you unleash an underwater menace to the world, or u turn evil and kill everyone. This is a REAL bad ending. So dark.

[MetalGearSolidHouse]

persona 4 bad endings were better bad endings

[GristleBone]

Shhh! dont give anything away for me. I didn't play it yet >:O

[biller1990]

its not a "bad" bad ending... you must read between the lines... carpe diem!! you can die every second in your life but you dont know it! 5/5

[imfernando2]

Yukari: So do you have plans?

Minato: Yeah, dying in about 3... 2... 1...

[FGSFDS]

Oh man...if I picked this ending the first time I played through the game I would have been majorly disappointed D:

[fierylava12]

Mind Rape?! (;

[HeReNiTy1986]

Ok real dumb question did that whole thing skip right towards the end you don't battle nyx avatar or death?

[cloudsrevenge92]

you don't battle anyone. You simply forget about the whole thing and all the things that happen in the game.Then it just skips towards the end.

[AceTheSlayer75]

Yes, if you decide to kill Ryoji, you lose EVERYTHING and it just skips to the end of the year.

[SDBPR]

So once again a majority of humanity yearns and succeeds for the hollow happiness of ignorance and lies; while a few yearn for the painful truth. Such a hypocritical thing that I find it intresting myself yet it also makes me sick.

[coperaterockasian]

junpei is dumb ;D

[Sephiroth5008]

The "Ignorance is Bliss" Ending?

Second Darkest ending i´ve ever seen.

(First going to Soul Nomad´s True Evil Ending)

[RockingIn247]

Welll, that was completely horrible.

D8

[BKSF1]

The amount of lampshading in this is incredible :O

[Hoshinosenshi]

Aigis is like :( becuz you forgot but she technically still knows everyone else doesn't :(. GOODBYE WORLD!

[AllEndsWithYou]

shit ending

[fradiekat911]

check it out, ryoji is also suzaku kururugi!

anyway, i haven't gotten to this point yet (i haven't even met ryoji yet) but im definitely gonna go with the other ending. this one looks boring.

[lordthawkeye]

Heh heh, actually, technically, you HAVE met Ryoji. *grin*

[Scribegamer]

Somehow Atlus has crafted the perfect "bad" ending that's probably emotionally worse than seeing everyone dead at the Fall -- ending on an illusory happy note. It's a hollow happiness, because as the player you know the characters have forgotten most of the relationships that they formed over the course of the story. And then there's Aigis bearing silent witness to her friends' amnesia, and knowing that the Fall is impending. It's a bit beyond me how anyone can consider this "happy."

[lookitsyourface]

I couldn't agree more..

[gr1mpillmag3]

Exactly. I couldn't put it any other way, myself.

I found this a lot more chilling than the typical video game 'bad ending' that just goes: "JOO DID NUTHING SO EVERY1 DED LOL"

[JadenYukiNeoSpacian]

ryoji is simon from gurren lagann and yosuke from P4!

[unknown145]

This ending is like a reverse of Persona 2, where remembering is good, while forgetting is very, very bad.

[brothersofrock]

i dont care what others say i like this endin.. it has a bleak and deep meaning to it, that the happiness they feel here is just a mere illusion and none of it is real... its a great ending, but i prefer the other when im playing the game

[Vyxvorse]

btw why dun ne 1 here use maya's chtin' stlye haha

[Vyxvorse]

how boring. gues i'll go 2 the real ending then

[KefkaJr]

I love this ending. It's so simple and so dark.

[EnigmaHood]

Very dark. They are all happy at the end, but you know that they are all going to die @_@

[Gigamokin]

Dark, also imo deep and meaningful, and i think ending the game with the decision of spending your final moments with your friends or refusing their offer, even when they don't even know that, was just GENIUS... and im kind of sad when people say: "boring", "sucks", "stupid" people need more taste in this kind of games.

[kayser292]

actually... bad ending is kinda happier than GOOD ending e,e

in bad ending you go karaoke whit your friends and keep living while in the GOOD ending you DIE...

however. the good ending directs you to THE ANSWER of P3FES xd

[FarelThirteen]

true true, but it's just ironic.... an illusion

the bad ending delivers an illusion of happiness, while even if the good ending ends with "you know what" it still ends happy, as strange as this may sound

This game taught me a lot about death. I'm pretty sure my Arcana is Death. And believe me, the death card has a very positive message to it , it truly does :)

[wiseblue1989]

just a moment you shine before fading into nothingness

+_+

Wasn't Thanatos the first persona appear in the game ?

He look kinda like that than Orpheus

[FarelThirteen]

Well first orpheus appeared and transformed into Thanatos who turned back into Orpheus

[wiseblue1989]

why ? is that possisble for a persona to transform

[FarelThirteen]

Why of course it is.... The other character eventually during the game also transform their Persona through resolutions they make... It's already written in Carl Jung's philosophy.... a persona can change how you do.

But admitted ... the first time Thanatos is summoned ...the transformation is just temporary ... I suppose it's just a reference to Orpheus's mythological story.

[bladegunblade]

well, the other reason is maybe because ryoji/pharos live in him, right?

[FarelThirteen]

heh yeah i guess it's that simple

[Spektre41]

I figured it was because Thanatos was already inside the Main Character when he summoned him, and that's why he tore through Orpheus.

[Spektre41]

You don't live in this ending. The Fall occurs, and everyone on the planet DIES.

[karoshikurenai]

omg horrible voice acting! really if you wanna play persona 3/fes and p4 go for the un-dubbed english version.

[DrakeDarkHunter]

Wait.... so we don't even see it end? That sucks! I was kinda hoping for the fall to occur mid-sentence or something with in saying something like.

Everyone is dead, Nyx succeeded, the world is gone. Nice job asshole

BAD ENDING!

[kayser292]

if everyone is dead, why you are there talking whit junpei in 3/3? O_o

[hd25yuutube]

The Nyx fight actually isn't that hard..

[AlexisRhodes12girl]

Well, that ending wasn't so bad...? As mentioned, I expected Nyx to come and go YOU GO SQUISH NAO. But... I think Junpei singing would be enough to kill anyone XDD "I'M A JUNPEI GIRL. IN A JUNPEI WOR-LD~"

Yukari: AGGH. THE END IS COMING!'

[kingdomheartsfangrl6]

omg...i just ruined the ending for myself....

*cries* this is sooo sad!!!!!

[mariados2]

this ending suck. junpei still a moron, mitsuru is verry sad, aigis is just an androird without love, takeba is a retard teen anger, , i like more the good ending

[soulwrappin]

which is why it is called BAD ending...

[xyzcarolinexox13]

wow this is happier than the good ending but yu dont remeber being friends with Akihiko and Misturu or Aigis which is sad. I'd rather cry watcging the good ending cuz at least everyone was remebered. but least this way yu don't die!

[CHIUIAIA]

Actually you still do, but so does everyone else. cept Aigis.

[FinalFrost]

This ending is way happier than the good ending o-o

[thatgreekguy01]

At least in this ending you don't have to fight Ryoji, that bastard was hard!!!

[ForRickerOrPoorer]

Seriously, I got this ending JUST so I could see Graduation Day interrupted by Nyx destroying the world. Instead I get Yukari singing karaoke. Talk about disappointment.

[dackszero]

1) It always felt like Mitsuru's speech is a big "YOU DUMBASS, YOU CHOSE THE WRONG ENDING!!"

2) I wanted to see everyone die horribly after being so cheerful......didn't happen.

[BlackIceJaguar]

this is the best ending..i don't have to see some ugly ny and cry because i don't have orpheous telos or thanatos HAHAHAHAHAHA!

At least they won't feel anything with Apathy syndrome.

:( I feel bad for Aigis though cause she'd be the only one to try and fight you know who and get messed up. Her cracked and broken frame would be lying on the ground while around the world people start passing out due to Apathy Syndrome all the wh
