00:00 "It's over, Alice. We're free."

00:08 Welcome to Mojo Plays and today we're looking at video games with the most possible outcomes.

00:13 "It is an ending of sorts, though not the one destiny had in store for you."

00:28 Nier Automata

00:39 Platinum Games' terrific action RPG follows themes of struggle and free will, and one

00:44 of the many ways in which it navigates those themes is through its multiple endings.

00:49 Nier Automata features 26 different conclusions, specifically for each letter of the English

00:54 alphabet.

00:55 To reach its true finale, players must complete endings A through E, which actually isn't

01:00 too big of an ask.

01:11 Endings F through Z, on the other hand, are completely optional.

01:15 Most of them are game over screens from losing fights or doing something you shouldn't, like

01:19 self-destructing on the Android Space Station, dooming them all.

01:22 But as many of them require very specific criteria, they still take a lot of effort

01:27 to reach.

01:38 The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt

01:48 Talking about possible endings in RPGs can be a little tricky.

01:52 The main story of The Witcher 3 features three different outcomes, all of which revolve around

01:57 Geralt's adopted daughter Ciri.

01:58 However, depending on your choices regarding multiple NPCs and questlines while you played,

02:04 you can earn a variety of different epilogues, turning three endings into 36.

02:19 Some of these are small updates on the well-being of characters you chose to help or not.

02:24 Others detail huge locations in the game's world and the impact you had on them and who's

02:28 left in charge.

02:30 This way, the player feels as if they've influenced the larger world rather than just

02:34 the hero's personal story.

02:48 The Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe

03:05 Once again, the subject of free will results in a ton of outcomes.

03:09 The Stanley Parable placed players in a mysterious office building with only a snarky British

03:13 narrator to keep them company.

03:15 Where Stanley ended up depended on whether or not you chose to follow instructions at

03:19 multiple instances.

03:21 Most of the fun came from reaching its many endings and seeing how it affected your next

03:25 playthrough, if at all.

03:35 The original version included 19 different endings, but the creators went above and beyond

03:40 for the Ultra Deluxe edition.

03:42 Entirely new ones were introduced, while others were expanded on, bringing 19 up to an impressive

03:48 42.

03:57 BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend

04:12 Many fighting games naturally feature a lot of endings.

04:15 In addition to a main story finale, most characters on a roster will get a short conclusion to

04:20 their personal story.

04:21 But when it comes to BlazBlue Continuum Shift, the developers went the extra mile.

04:36 There's a true ending unlocked after beating the story mode with specific characters.

04:40 However, not only does each character get their own ending, they get several.

04:45 Some bad endings are unlocked by losing certain fights, while some alternate ones are unlocked

04:49 based on key decisions.

04:51 Some characters even have joke endings unlocked in the middle of their stories.

04:55 The updated Extend version added new story elements and characters, resulting in a total

05:00 of 62 possible endings.

05:13 Time Travelers

05:20 In this Japan-only adventure game, players must use time travel to stop a second disastrous

05:25 attack in a futuristic Tokyo.

05:28 The way it plays with endings is quite different from most games.

05:31 Players have a ton of choices to make, and making a wrong one can lead to one of many

05:36 bad endings.

05:39 However, you can then reverse the outcome through time travel and continue the story.

05:50 While all of your decisions are represented on a handy flowchart, your final choice leads

05:54 to one of two true endings, but there are also 69 possible negative outcomes to experience.

06:07 Princess Maker 2

06:17 Princess Maker 2 is one of the more interesting sim games out there.

06:20 You play as a famous warrior who's given a young girl to raise as their own by a deity.

06:24 From ages 10 to 18, you'll make all kinds of choices for the child, including their

06:29 education and social life.

06:31 The game ends when she comes of age and chooses a profession, though your decisions also affect

06:36 how happy she is and whether or not she gets married.

06:48 Your ending score is determined by what the game deems a successful career and life, with

06:53 a variety of outcomes ranging from Queen to Court Jester to Harlot to Princess of Darkness.

06:59 All in all, there are 74 possible lives for your daughter to take on.

07:12 Detroit Become Human

07:25 Developer Quantic Dream has become known for choice-heavy narratives that can go in multiple

07:29 directions, and Detroit Become Human is, so far, the peak of the studio's design philosophy.

07:35 Set in a futuristic world, players control three different androids as they struggle

07:39 with free will (yes, here we are again) in a world that treats them like second-class

07:44 citizens.

07:45 Since there are so many decisions to be made across three separate storylines, some players

07:49 ended up with vastly different outcomes than others.

08:07 There are 85 possible conclusions to reach in Detroit.

08:11 Many of them do overlap and only feature minor changes, but there are still around 40 distinct

08:16 endings you can reach.

08:28 Star Ocean - The Second Story R

08:43 The Second Story is a beloved entry in the Star Ocean series, having received both a

08:48 remaster in 2008 and a remake in 2023.

08:51 Blending elements of sci-fi and fantasy, it follows a soldier who must make it back to

08:55 Earth while stopping a universe-wide plot across different planets.

08:59 The RPG places a lot of emphasis on your choices, not just as a way to progress, but to decide

09:05 how your characters end up.

09:16 The original version featured 86 different endings.

09:19 However, the 2008 remaster added 13 new ones, all of which were retained for the 2023 remake.

09:32 428 - Shibuya Scramble

09:51 This cult classic adventure game is noteworthy for a few reasons.

09:54 It's entirely in live-action, and its crime-centric plot spans different genres depending on which

09:59 of the five characters you're playing as.

10:02 Being that it's mostly a visual novel, gameplay consists of reading and making key choices

10:07 along the way.

10:08 Because of its design, the developers made sure to make the plot as tantalizing as possible,

10:12 but also included a plethora of outcomes based on how you choose to interact with it.

10:26 While there are more than 100 narrative paths to go down, there are 87 possible endings

10:32 to unlock.

10:39 Baldur's Gate 3

10:41 Admittedly, the different endings of Baldur's Gate 3 are a special case.

10:58 You have the good and evil endings, whether you choose to fight against or take control

11:02 of the final threat.

11:04 And you can end the game early in Act 2 by having Gale blow up both your party and the

11:08 villains.

11:12 However, because there are so many choices to make and paths to go down, Larian estimates

11:22 around 17,000 possible variations to reach.

11:26 Some may be minor, brought on by a single choice in any given companion's storyline.

11:31 Others can be major, like the absence of allies in the final battle because you didn't complete

11:35 their quests or chose to kill them.

11:37 The game excels at player freedom, but 17,000 is still ridiculously impressive.
