Heavy Rain - Norman Jayden Endings

[@TopHatLucario]

I wish he could resign AFTER solving the case. Poor Norman deserves it...

[@wonkeeeeee]

The ending where he is stuck in his fantasy world is so sad. I could imagine how people with schizophrenia sees it

[@byVariations]

It's actually not to bad The tanks are just going to be there from time to time but He can't wear the glasses anymore

[@byVariations]

***** Oh no he's dead he OD with the glasses on (Everyone dies: Case also goes Unsolved)

[@RopeDrink]

You clearly don't understand the implications. Those tanks represent the side-effects of ARI becoming permanent due to Norman no longer taking the drugs that counter it. The only difference is it's less direct than a flat-out fatal overdose. This one is showing ARI bleeding into his reality - he will eventually devolve into an incurable paranoid-schizophrenic with psychotic episodes due to continued use of ARI without the drugs to stop brain-damage.

Actually, Case Closed isn't that bad of an ending as people think it is. Remember when Norman had hallucinations of a forest completely overwriting The room he's in? Well, now the only thing wrong are these miniature tanks. His problems are actually getting less severe.

[@filipmelzacki9969]

It is pretty tragic, but it still creates a hope spot. If Norman's problems got less severe than they were before, who knows? Maybe after some time, they'll dissappear completely.

[@Noventos100]

Thanks for this comment. Made me feel less bad about the ending I got lol.

[@RopeDrink]

You've got it in reverse. Those tanks represent the brain-damaging effect of ARI now becoming permanent. This is due to him no longer using the drugs which counter-act ARI's side-effects, hence he's now starting to see things like digital tanks even in the real world WITHOUT the glasses even being on. I don't know how anyone can even think for a second this is hopeful in any way. He will devolve into an incurable paranoid-schizophrenic with psychotic episodes.

I get the feeling people regard endings 'sucky' if they don't involve rainbows, unicorns and happiness. There's nothing wrong with his endings - in-fact, they seem to be the most varied of the characters, which is testament to his popularity. What more did people expect from a guy battling drug addiction, utilizing technology that can cause brain damage, and works in very dangerous profession? People like that don't tend to get happy endings - be happy that he at least has one.

[@abelgtrzrt9221]

People dont seem to understand Jayden endings, so im going to try to explain it the best way possible (Beware, my english is not perfect) ARI is like a controlled schizoprenia. It makes possible to imagine things that arent real like they were actually real, same as a psicotic episode does, but controlled. The thing is that with time, jayden starts to suffer a self induced schizoprenia that he cant control. So, he uses an antipsychotic (triptocaine) to stop this uncontrolled psychotic episode. Problem is, tripto causes addiction. The endings explanation is like this: -Jayden stops using ari and tripto, and so ends his schizoprenia, and lives in the real world. -Jayden uses both ari and tripto, and he dies from a overdose.(numerous tripto vials in the floor) -Jayden uses Ari, but not tripto, and develops a full wild schizoprenia, and starts having psychotic episodes. -Blake uses ari, and sees jayden. This is not real jayden tho, is a construct that his mind created in the Ari, most likely because he was thinking about jayden when he put on his glasses.

[@byVariations]

actually in the wiki The third ending Norman just recieves Slight Brain damage that may be permanent. But the 4th one actually created a AI of him like Jarvin in Iron Man which is why it also shows up in the death one too.

[@chloekenna]

Abel GtrzRT what about when he started seeing the tanks? Is that his schizophrenia entering reality? I don't know how it works sorry

[@shadyshadez2758]

[@Vadim_Slastihin]

Abel GtrzRT i like your theory, but it has one inconsistency. Iam talking about the fragments when Jayden uses the ARI to investigate things. If it all was his shizo, then how it is possible to see things like lists of cops, car numbers and so on?

[@Josh0639]

Wait he had 4 endings?

[@ArmedtotheTeethProd]

"What the Hell are you doing with my glasses, Blake?!" "HOLY SH**!!!" "Go to my funeral, NOW!"

[@GeorgiaAndrea]

If people keep asking why Carter Blake and his colleagues are being such an ass towards Jayden, isn't it obvious that they are actually feeling very inferior with Norman's presence? Because one, Norman is an agent of a higher rank than them. Blake made it clear when he said the local police won't trample on evidence even though they're not in the FBI and think Norman is one of those bureaucrats behind the desk ordering people around and showing off his high tech gadget only FBI agents could use. Have to admit, those moments seeing Blake flipping off on Norman a lot of the times and Norman giving a piece of his mind to Blake again were pretty funny. Two, their rivalry was very serious with Blake keep saying he's the one who found OK w/o having to have a profiler like Norman. He looks down on Norman thinking that Norman's method was a waste of time and unnecessary. Norman was the intelligent, by book kind of guy and had to take a lot of crap from them seeing he's the only FBI guy around. Even Perry said he didn't want the FBI to be involved but had no choice since the OK case got even bigger. Too obvious that these policemen had such huge egos and yet inferior at the same time. So you should see why everybody is having inferiority complex thinking they're supposedly good enough in doing their jobs and yet still needing one FBI guy around them to 'monitor and assist' them? Indirectly means that they're not able to do their jobs well. So of course the hissy fits by Blake all the time. I've been in Norman's shoes before. Believe me when you're from a higher rank and have to work with people like Blake and Perry, it is hell.

[@RopeDrink]

What, they suck just because they're not all rainbows and happiness? There's a big lack of appreciation for tragic heroes with such vastly different paths. They're not sucky just because none of them are distinctly 'good endings'. Many stories have tragic characters who get dealt a bad hand no matter whether they deserved it or not.

That's what makes them so great. An addiction and brain damage don't just stop because of your willpower. What makes Jayden so great, is that he cares more about saving others than his own safety.

I just want to forget. - I'm afraid things may have affected you more than you think, Norman. - Why do you say that? I'm okay... I'm getting through this. Let's just take it easy.

That isn't correct at all. Without the drugs (requirement of the 'tanks' ending), Norman isn't countering ARI's brain-damaging side-effects, hence we now see that ARI is bleeding into his reality as a sign of him becoming permanently brain-damaged. It is NOT a good ending.

As sad as that is, it's more real to life than a happy ending for Norman. Addiction normally does do irreparable damage to the addict, even when recovered and staying in the same place often causes relapses to be more probable so either way, Norman wouldn't have a happy outcome. It may suck but, it was a very real way to go about it. I'll take those endings over his Tripto deaths any-day. It's a great message that people with addictions aren't terrible people, they just have a terrible problem.

Well, he used Triptocaine to combat the effects of the ARI, which if used in an excessive manner, damages the user's psychological health.

I like how the background becomes darker and a storm is brewing if you take too long. It reflects how Jayden's brain is becoming more and more damaged.

[@gor9027]

Honestly, I find the 2nd ending to be the best one for Norman. He gets to live, Shaun gets to live, and he doesn't remain addicted to ARI.

[@RopeDrink]

For the uninitiated, Norman has two distinct issues. ARI, his hi-tech glasses - which can eventually cause lasting brain damage - and Triptocaine - a drug that helps counter its effects, though said drug is highly addictive. Norman is so hell-bent on solving this case that he will resign if he fails (ie. someone else saves Shaun without him), which turns out to be the best outcome as he hands in his glasses, opting to live in the 'real world', and has no reason to continue taking the drug (though whether he overcomes the addiction is unknown). Alternatively, if Shaun dies, Norman will succumb to guilt and eventually die via overdose. If he solves the case and saves Shaun - regardless of taking or avoiding Triptocain - he will inevitably start showing signs of permanent brain damage thanks to ARI - as shown by digital tanks now being visible to him in reality. Of course, just like Ethan and Madison, he can also be killed in various ways throughout the game, to which Blake will try on his glasses and be spooked by 'uploaded Norman'. In short, there's no truly 100% 'good' ending for Norman. He either dies during the case, overdoses afterwards, becomes schizophrenic afterwards, or fails the investigation - which is the closest thing to giving Norman a 'normal life', thus, it's the closest thing to a good ending Norman has in the game. It's a sad fact that if Shaun dies, two of the four playable characters are guaranteed to off themselves, even if they make it to the end.

[@jinthekingkazama1159]

By the way, I would like to inform you that whether you take the Tripto or not, doesn't affect his endings. The actual way of getting "Smoking Mirrors" and "Case Closed" is that all characters fail to find Shaun and Norman survives for the former, and Norman solves the case and survives for the latter. Also, I've heard that the hallucination cannot happen if you don't use the ARI glasses too much or solve the clues fast enough, but not sure if it's true.

[@RopeDrink]

@@jinthekingkazama1159 The outcomes are set in stone. There is no way to avoid the hallucinations. You either die before the ending, solve the case (and become schizophrenic), overdose if Shaun dies -- or resign (if Norman failed to show up for the finale and Shaun still survives). If you want to test that theory, then make Norman leave every crime scene immediately, never put on ARI, and let Madison give Norman the address. He will still hallucinate, because the ending literally shows him continuing to use ARI for later investigations (to a point where the effects finally take root).

Pastel Bambi The worst that happens to Blake is that if Ethan is killed at the warehouse but Norman is alive (I think you have to get Norman not to go to the warehouse though), the ending news report says that Blake and Captain Perry are suspended, showing that Norman reported their actions after learning of Ethan’s wrongful death. That or whatever ends up happening to him in the aftermath of the “Uploaded” ending when he sees Norman walking towards him when he has on the ARI glasses. Personally I’d like to think Norman slowly causes Blake to go insane by torturing him through the glasses, making him go through the same thing he did when he experienced withdrawal from Triptocaine.

[@FullmetalFan12345]

It's really a shame that poor Norman has no good endings. He's my personal favourite character, and is the only character who isn't directly related to Shaun Mars who genuinely cares about him.

Make sure you do lots of searching in the fish tank place where Scott almost kills you. You should find a gun and some gas station receipts. Maybe a bullet, but I think those two are the most important. While in ARI the last time, make sure you look at the recording in the "clues" box. Go back to when Scot was choking you on the desk, and pause it and analyze. It should zoom in on his wrist. Do a geo search on the gas receipt and the "?" box. Hope this helps.

[@liraxilyx-princessofelves5300]

Norman is the best.

[@Schaly]

@malpuro Yup. The hallucinations are a type of brain damage caused from using the ARI too much. (As you can see when you check out his wall-ball score. Its in the 10000's even though one bounce = 1 point O_o)

[@haljordan7401]

Norman is good willed an thoughtful interesting character.

[@haljordan7401]

He can create projections based on his thoughts on triptoicane but can still fight and is quick witted but can die while being overpowered or losing control of himself.

[@Jake_Mac]

I genuinely feel bad for Norman, he did so much throughout the game. Only for some lame ass endings. The closest thing to “happy” is where he leaves the FBI. All the others are depressing in some way. Especially when his schizophrenia starts showing him ARI things in the real world. I wish they gave him better endings.

[@haljordan7401]

He can focus and change reality.

[@ArmedtotheTeethProd]

Who knows, with "Case Closed," he could get over the whole Tanks thing through taking a break from ARI. Maybe they were just lonely, and wanted Norman to play with them for a change. After all, ARI has interacted with him before.

[@alicealysia]

I'd like to see an ending with no tripto or ari used.

[@MariusBoss11458]

More like an Ending with No Tripto,Ari and Still Working for the FBI.

[@M1PA-200]

Jayden best end is resignation.

[@Smiley0.1]

5:57 Norman: What the hell is this? I can see them now?!? School nurse: Put some ice on it.

[@SlashterYTPs]

7:25 Look how big Norman's nose has gotten

[@SlashterYTPs]

2:03 Norman is going to do something bad to Blake in his VR world

[@haljordan7401]

He can control his addiction to make him more durable and smarter and tough.

[@ameliainc1]

what accent does he have?

[@Rockcroc2000Rm1wE3erWmNfkL]

Idk, but imo it sounds like a mix of Boston and England.

[@guts7925]

Sarken I know enlish this is no english. if it is then it's 0.5 %

[@aliveslice]

It's meant to be Northeastern American, the actor himself is British. The result is Nahman.

[@MajorShepard]

(Cont'd) So the reason why Jayden starts seeing tanks in the real world is because his mind still thinks he's using ARI, or that his brain is beginning to think ARI's world is real and is jumbling it together. Now this leaves his ending open in that Jayden could stop using ARI for a while, after being freaked out by what he saw, and restoring his brains functionality back to normal. Or he continues using it and the visions get worse. Or he tells his superiors allowing them to fix it later.

[@evanmurphy1234]

Norman was my favourite character and i was dissapointed that the only semi-good ending for him is leaving the force

[@Schaly]

@malpuro The more he plays it the more it goes up not just for one sitting. But the fact that he has a score that high, shows just how much he's using the ARI outside of work related stuff. Which is in itself a sign of addiction But the thing that is clear cut is that using the ARI in excess causes the user to have a hard time differentiating the real world from the artificial world due to damage to the brain over prolonged use. The score is just an indication of just how much he's been using it

[@Alexidrik]

Thanks for the answer. I've realized why the two Norman, passed the game several times with different epilogue.

[@WilliamSlaght]

at one point, it forces you to take some

[@TheSegacampGamerandWerecamp]

6:00 Jayden: Am I going Crazy?

[@SpencerFcp]

Shame, Norman is easily the best character in the game and all of his endings suck for him. A. He dies. B. He fails his investigation and resigns from his job (possibly leaving other characters to die). C. He accuses Blake,is mocked, and sent back home. D. He succeeds in his investigation, but is then fucked for the rest of his life from Ari use. Even if he refuses to take the Tripto whenever possible. We couldn't have one ending where he succeeds, gives up Ari without any consequences, and lives happily ever after?

[@spec___]

his endings are the absolute best and no one can convince me otherwise

[@princessroxyvincenzo9880]

His endings are so complex.

[@Crunchsnap]

The second ending is the best... He resignes and start taking care of his drug problem..

[@StarrChild.]

It's damaging it. He never programed or 'imagined' the tanks there so it was effecting his brain to start mentally harming him really. Sad because they were so cute.

[@kenjiharimaCU]

Jayden - You're not Tony Stark Blake. Blake - gasp!!!

[@Purelight6]

It would be so cool for a sequel for this game where there's only Norman as a playable character. Since ARI was still going on in his head even when he took the ARI off, it leaves him with ARI in his head permenantly. He could use that to solve crimes without the glasses and work as a private investigator kicking some crime ass.

[@KingBooHD]

the scene were he he sees the tanks dose not happen if you resist the drug every time its the same scenes just minus the last one witch is a good ending for him

[@TonyG8992]

The ending where he takes of the glasses and still sees the tanks was the ending I got on my first playthrough, I prefer that ending. Those glasses fucked him up.

[@littlee300]

The tanks are a part of a game you can play on those sun glasses.

[@endefisto123]

People here saying Jayden has the worst endings, but I think Lauren has the worst possible endings, she either dies, gets arrested for murder, or realises she fell in love with her son's killer. Atleast Jayden has the resignation ending which is somewhat good for his mental health.

[@SoloPixy1]

Those tanks are allucinations inside Jayden's brain, allucionations being made by excessive use of ARI.

[@JokersRWildStudios]

I got resignation because I didn't figure out YOU KNOW WHO was the killer until the next cutscene. But I was happy with Norman's resigning because he finally seemed like he straightened himself out and not be an addict of either ARI or tripto.

[@gulf0fTexaco]

it depends on how many times you decide to take the triptico, not how long you use ARI. that second to last one is the scariest i think. trapped in ARI forever.

[@Sabos10]

He starts to see things that are not there.

[@ThisGamingDragon]

His brain is broken...because he used the futuristic glasses too much.

[@efrenmartinez126]

Norman my fab character

[@keerongill7310]

"I'm okay getting through this"

[@herpaderp1470]

I think it's when you don't play the game at the office scene when you wait, and you let Madison call Jayden and let Jayden give up with the ARI when he's trying to find out himself where the Shaun is, but I'm not sure.

[@hatooteh1034]

Tanks are literally my favourite thing and Norman is my favourite character so when I got the tank ending I was so happy but now people are talking about mental issues and I'm like what now
