Persona 5 Ending Guide: How to Get All the Endings

Persona 5 is a stylish Japanese RPG that saw a Western release in 2017. The success of the game introduced the franchise to a worldwide audience. It even resulted in the main character being featured in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, a game featuring gaming legends of all types.

With the release of the PlayStation 5 and the inclusion of Persona 5 in the PlayStation Plus Collection, more players than ever will have access to this awesome adventure. This may lead to people asking if Persona 5 has different endings. As you may have guessed, it certainly does! However, Persona 5 is a massive beast of a game with many systems to master. The game also features various endings of both the good and bad variety. As such, we have put together this Persona 5 ending walkthrough in order to help those who would like to see a specific ending, or even all of them. Naturally, spoilers will be included for all of Persona 5’s endings below!

How many endings does Persona 5 have?

Persona 5 has two “good” endings, one of which is considered the “true” ending. It also has bad endings for various events within the game. We will explain how to get all the good endings as well as all the bad endings.

Before we get started… a note on Mementos

It would make sense for players to shoot for the best ending first. Therefore, it would be wise to give a little heads-up on one of Persona 5’s vital mechanics. As players work through the game, Persona 5’s street-wise cat companion, Morgana, will introduce players to something strange.

Mementos is a nonsensical spiral of pathways leading deep under the streets of Shibuya. Players will have to contend with demons as they slowly work their way through the maze. A large, ominous door will eventually stop progress. This door will remain locked until the story progresses, preventing players from clearing Mementos all at once.

Let it be known that completing Mementos is incredibly important to the endgame of Persona 5! Players should dedicate one in-game day per chapter to reaching the end of Mementos. If the nightmarish maze is ignored until the end of the game, players will find themselves having to do ALL of the dungeon at once. This may take hours, exhaust resources, and even kill some playthroughs for those who lack the patience to go through it all.

Remember: Time management is the key to success in Persona 5.
