Catherine from Persona team on PS360

[CDFN]

Just finished it, here's what happened:

Code:

Vincent asks Mutton to summon Cath.
Vincent proposes to her, he says he wants to marry her even if it means giving up being human.
Cath says it wouldn't work out because she's a demon and dumps him.
She does say that she doesn't feel he has enough willpower to be with her so I guess it's possible with a few different choices maybe.
So he ends up alone, the woman in the red afro actually says that it was probably the best outcome for Vincent, damn, I need to see the other possibilities.

Looks like I got the Catherine bad ending.
Looks like I can get the Kath good ending with this playthrough by changing my answers in the last level. For anything else I'll have to start over. If the wiki is correct seeing all 8 endings requires 6 playthroughs since there are only 2 types of karma meters that allow you to get 2 different endings.

I just watched Cath's true ending, I just had to see how that would turn out and damn, just... wow...

[CDFN]

Code:

Before the final level Vincent is inclined to go with Kath but ultimately you will tip the scale towards one of them with the answers you give,
that's why when he says her name during the final level it doesn't appear in the subtitles,
because only you know which one of them he's actually thinking about,
you have to interpret it as being the one you will choose.
At that specific point in the game it's up in the air, it can go either way depending on those last 3 choices that only you know how you'll answer.
My karma meter was on the law side but my final answers made me choose C though it gave me the bad ending.
With different choices I can use that karma to get the good K ending.

Edit: They're all in Japanese. I'll leave them just in case.

I cheked the wiki again, you need 5 playthroughs to see all endings, not 6, having either heavy law or chaos also llows you to see freedom good.

One thing I've been wanting to say is that I'm amazed at how well the classical music works with the puzzles.

A youtube search will work as well.  I finished the game last night and watched the rest on Youtube.  Catherine True ending is definitely my favorite.

I know I came into this conversation late, but did you guys give totally honest answers + choices the first time around? I did, and I managed to get the Freedom True Ending, which made me super proud, since it was the sort of ending I had envisioned.

Since then, I've gotten the Catherine True Ending and thought that was amazing as well, though.

[ZeronHitaro]

No really. From what I've seen of the ending guide if I'd answered honestly the first time I'd wind up with the Katherine True. XD

[ZeronHitaro]

So I finally knuckled down and earned the Catherine True for myself (albeit I used Very Easy mode since I was curious and basically playing it in God Mode was way too hard not to give up since I just wanted to speed run it). Totally worth it and easily the best ending in the game. However, I have to say, considering the game was practically grabbing you by the bollocks and dragging you kicking and screaming down Katherine's path the ending is...pretty darn lame. (I watched in on YT last night; glad I did otherwise I'd have been pissed about wasting time for such a let down.)

I mean really this is all we get:

Code:

-They get married.
-Erica is completely revealed as Eric (which you can figure out quite easily on any other playthrough.)
-Katherine says "I love you."; not boding well for the relationship since this is the first time she's said it whole game.

Compared to the sort of philosophical/comedic ending of True Freedom and the pure comedy gold ending of True Affair...True Love just comes off as...really half baked. Especially considering the crux of Vincent's arguement is:

Code:

Hey, just because I cheated on you with someone imaginary means it doesn't count. Well it sorta does, but really it doesn't.

It just makes Katherine come off as an idiot. I mean really what has Vincent done for her to patch the relationship? The tower doesn't count, Catherine doesn't count as not only was Katherine not present for any of it by his own logic

Code:

it wasn't in reality so it shouldn't count.

After being a distant loafer while she might've been pregnant about all he does is

Code:

trick her into meeting him to claim he was pretty much psychotic during that time period and he basically had a huge daydream about cheating on her.

That...no, for a game that tries to take the relationship plot quasi-seriously that does not float any boat; ever. Not even naive pre-teens in hormone-driven crush-love would buy that excuse.

Zeron, I agree. It seems like the True Freedom ending + the True Cheaters ending were the most well done, but eh, leave it up to Atlus to prefer those sorts of paths.

I thought True Freedom was pretty badly done. It was a 10 second animation added on to Good Freedom and it pissed me off to see it.

I liked the Catherine endings the best, but they were really crazy.

Bad Katherine felt most realistic, but she was still in love with Vincent so I can stretch my imagination and pretend she'd be willing to accept his "I was going crazy but t's okay now not really" excuse.

Um, I thought in Good Freedom..

Code:

Feather lost, but in True Freedom I know she wins and Vincent gets the money which lets him go on the space tour. Also, doesnt Vincent get a bit upset in Good Freedom about Johnny asking Katherine out, or so I read on the wiki, yet in the True Freedom, it didn't seem to bother him one bit at all.

Mind you, the only endings I got were True Freedom and True Cheaters, so I wouldn't know for sure about that in Good Freedom. Just going off what I read on the wiki.

[Commander Jubby Shepard]

Good and True Freedom were exactly the same but True extended it slightly.

I'm going to replay the final dungeon to get the other possible endings and them I'm doing another playthrough on very easy and do everything as differently as I can.

Just trigger Very Easy Mode on your save file (assuming you're at a point where you still have access to your cell phone) and Gold Medal everything on VE Mode it's virtually impossible not to gold medal since Undo not only doesn't incur penalty points but it actually refreshes the combo meter. So if you're about to lose your combo just pull a block and hit undo for a meter refresh. Once you have full Golds you can actually skip the puzzle stages; which is preferable if you're just going ending hunting.
