Persona 4 True Ending

Hi everyone, I’m back. Last post I promise to write about the ending of Persona 4 and this is it. This post contains major spoiler about the ending of the game, so if you never play it before, I suggest that you do not read this post for your own sake, hehehe. Actually, it is up to you whether you want to read or not. Let’s begin. ^_^

Persona 4 is great. It’s storyline and soundtracks are very amazing. Although the conversation full of proverb or phrase that I do not know and need a hard time to translate it, it still attracts me to play it once more. There are 2 things that makes me curious, beating Margaret and fusing Izanagi no Okami. Those 2 are only available in new game +.

Oh, I forget to tell this. To tell you the truth, I finish this game in January 2011. At first I want to write down the ending as soon as I saw the true ending, but I decided to delay it because I want to play the Xenosaga Trilogy, hehehe. Talking about Xenosaga, I have already finish the first episode and now in the middle of episode 2. Enough talk.

Back to Persona 4, the main storyline is to find the culprit of serial murderer in this town. I can’t believe that culprit is Tohru Adachi, assistant of Detective Dojima. I mean, he is so straightforward and do not act like a culprit until the very end of the game.

After knowing the real culprit is Adachi, the party (Souji Seta and friends) start to pursue him. They ended up in Magatsu Inaba. After beating Adachi, he transformed into Amenosagiri and Amenosagiri revealed why the fog in Midnight Channel exist. Finally the party managed to kill Amenosagiri and the fog lifted. Everything’s back to normal.

The date forwarded to March 20 when Souji should say a goodbye word to his maxed social link. I succeeded to max it all. This is a few photo that I take from the game. Sorry for bad result because I use my cellphone. :P

Nanako wants to marry Souji ?!

Margaret KISSes Souji !!

And what is it? Margaret KISSed Souji ?! What in the world was that ! I shocked for the first time I watch that, Souji’s first kiss was taken by Margaret? Or is it really his first kiss? Ooohh, I don’t know what Atlus thinks.

After Souji talks to everyone, you prompted to choose to go back to your house or not. If not, you will get normal ending. For true ending, choose no. Now go to Junes, head to the lift and option will pop out, it ask you to go to your house or not, choose no, and another option that ask you for last business in Junes or not, choose yes. The party will held a meeting discussing about the truth behind the Midnight Channel and Persona.

Finally you will know that the man in gas station is Izanami, the creator of Midnight Channel. The party decided to fight Izanami to end this once and for all. The last dungeon Yomotsu Hirasaka revealed and Izanami is in the top floor.

After some struggling, the party faced Izanami. Izanami told everything about Midnight Channel, why she gave that power to enter the Midnight Channel, about Amenosagiri, and everything. The problem is all solved. Izanami started to attack the party and you have to fight Izanami. The first form is not very hard, with Hassou Tobi and Power Charge 3-4 time, you will kill Izanami. When her hit point reached 0, she began to transform into Izanami no Okami, saying that she is the real god.

This is the hardest part of the last battle. Her skill will do about 100 damage even at level 99. But this battle can’t be won, you just need to hit her until she use the Thousand Curse and sucked all battle party. You will be thrown in unknown world, laying down with no power left. After that, your social link will come out, giving you a courage to end Izanami. With the power of your social link, you gain new power, and Izanagi transformed into Izanagi no Okami.

Birth of Izanagi no Okami

You will be back at the battle, this time you alone. Izanami continued her attack but none of that work. “Souji (or whatever you character name is) withstood the attack” will pop up in the screen several time. Your hit point will remain 1. And it comes your turn, you can’t use item, guard, or normal attack. The only choice is use special attack provided, Myriad Truth.

The Myriad Truth

With only this final attack, you can kill Izanami. Finally, you made it. Izanami died, and Inaba once again come to peace.

After some conversation, you will meet Igor, saying that you get the true ending.

the true ending revealed

When he is done talking, a scene will play, and I think this is the best scene in the game.

Teddy's real world

You will be brought to some great place that Teddy remember he ever saw it. He said it is the world in Midnight Channel before the fog lift, or in the other word it is Teddy’s real world.

After this scene, the day will end. And the next day is your final day in Inaba, March 21st. Your friend will surrounding you saying goodbye for the last time.

Naoto will go to the city ?

That is when Naoto will go back with Souji, saying with red face. But she decided to stay in Inaba to aid the police when there is a case.

After the conversation, the credit roll and the ending and the best song in the game played, Never More by Shihoko Hirata.
