This is probably the most cathartic ending in SMT history: -Masakado's last warning. -The way the Firmament shatters. -Everybody in Tokyo staring at the sky again in awe.

[@Ramash440]

Honestly, when the rocks started falling I legit thought the Firmament was going to crumble and crush absolutely everyone, turning the Neutral Ending into just another Bad End in disguise. Given how SMT works, I wouldn't put that past it.

Is it just me, or did the neutral ending make Hugo suddenly likable?

[@TheDavyStarAnimatons]

Yeah, I felt the same. I like to think it's because we see that his interest in Tokyo was born from his own fascination for the culture; he never really hated the Unclean Ones, and the defeat of Merkabah made him realise that his authority meant nothing for his worth as a human being over the citizens of Mikado, or even Tokyo.

[@lelouchreyiz3762]

@@TheDavyStarAnimatons I think it has to do with that he was a sincere believer and his hatred for the unclean ones came from his belief. When his God was no more there was no reason for him to keep the zealous act and his likable side became apparent

Absolutely! I liked his development a lot, I really thought HE was the suspicious one the whole time. The NPCs in Mikado even tell you later on that he was just the messenger for Gabby

[@jesblabla]

The girl that turns into a woman at 9:00 looks and sounds a lot like Burroughs, doesn¡t she? She was the Goddess of Tokyo, according to STEPHEN. Thanks to Omega's efforts in reuniting Mikado and Tokyo, she has revived and returned to her true form. Also, STEPHEN said she created Burroughs based on a dead person, and since you were trying to revive a dead deaity in the Neutral route, then I assume Burroughs was a Goddess (THE Goddess) all along.

That's why they make players work hard to earn it. The message I got here is tear down the wall that separates one another lest we wish to live isolated in the dark and close off our fellow man from the light.

[@richardliu5339]

2) The Chaos and Law endings have the angels or the demons under their will, but in the neutral route, Omega defies them both to create his world, a world where both believers of Heaven and Hell will merge so that the sky barriers that enforced them in will be shattered like the Britain Wall, where in the other endings, the barrier remains untouched, therefore is not the "true" ending, even though he is hailed as hero in killing Lucifer or live in a chaotic world with Merkerbah's death.

Yup. It's implied that Stephen designed Burroghs as a copy of the Goddess and then programmed her into the Demonica Gauntlets to gather data. 25 years ago a man sided with neither the Angels or Demons and defended Tokyo from utter destruction. Then the man was reincarnated as Flynn and Burroughs watched him make the same choices, and stand neutral. So Stephen chose him to be the one to revive the Goddess.

I got this Ending! On First try! Now I'll go for Chaos, on Hard Difficulty.

[@gerardpriscoalce6157]

i always like getting the neutral ending when playing megaten games bec it always makes me feel i'm choosing my own path or belief instead of choosing obvious paths given by others( i.e lucifer's chaos,yhvh's order, which have both negative outcomes for me, anarchy or slavery ), and besides you get to pawn both demons and angels at the same time, now that's awesome..

[@MAZZ0Murder]

Certainly seems like the best ending. I completed the Law ending...kinda bittersweet XD

[@Vitz_atelier]

Many years after doing that ending and I realize that not even this ending is 100% happy. Flynn still had to destroy his entire 1500 years old culture and homeland, part of Tokyo (you saw those huge rocks falling, don't tell me nobody or nothing got hurt with that shit) and move his people to an entirely foreign country bringing up problems this kind of mass migration. The fact that they brought their people to Tokyo might help preserving a bit of their culture, but almost all of the landmarks, places and documents are completely destroyed now. And all that not considering the fact that, once again in the series, you had to kill your friends. They sorta killed themselves before that, sure, but you would still feel bad for killing those eldritch abominations knowing that part of them used to be your friends. Also you're reminded by both of the eldritch abominations that no matter what you do they will come back regardless due to how that universe works.There will always those yearning for the things those demons and angels wanted and they will come back to answer to those desires. This ending maybe fulfilling, but when you start looking at what was lost to achieve this and the other caveats you start realize the true nature of this pyrrhic victory. This ending is kind of fucked up.

[@pedro2629]

yeah, I agree, personally this ending is better than both apocalypse's endings because they were either too sweet, because all your friends and Mikado survive or too ambiguous when it's not being dry like killing all your friends and every named human and reducing everything the player worked for in IV to ash leaving nothing behind of the old universe to make a new one that is largely ambiguous this ending has clear ups and downs downs because of what you said and ups because now humanity is free from demons for the time being

I feel that. Luckily I completed SMT IV neutral path before my 3ds got killed by my kids' bubble mixture bath. Probs going to emulate apocalypse to check it out but I'll miss how the game 'feels' on its original hardware.

[@Keihzaru]

Well, after beating the Chaos route is nice to see a happy ending for Isabeau, the most heartbreaking part of any of the paths is seeing how basically only Flynn remains of the 4 friends, 2 of the msacrifice themselves for their goals and Isabeau kills herself to prevent getting killed by one of her friends.

[@SazukeEX1]

Down the line most likely as she is impressed with Flynn very early in the game and drops many hints that she has fallen for him. Her words on Chaos/Law merely cement that she wanted to walk the same path as Flynn. Luckily she can on Neutral and gets her happy ending with him.

[@ubermaster1]

Actually due to the actions of the MC and Issabeau, the people do indeed learn, thus they live in peace together. Plus, what's an SMT game without Lucifer.

[@REXanadu]

Thanks again, Omega, for blazing through this in your spare time. Take care.

[@TeaBurn]

I think so too, as Burroughs is most likely modeled in her image (by Stephen perhaps?).

[@SazukeEX1]

They are. Burroughs is based off the Goddess of Tokyo and was sent out to find the reincarnated Hero, who followed the same path as the past Hero(Past Flynn), to revive the Goddess of Tokyo and to return balance.

[@PrayingSeraph]

Hope? Yes, because having to, as you say, defend yourself is a very hopeful future indeed. Yes, I bet they cant wait for the another armageddon war in the future between the armies of law and chaos. See, here is what I like about characters of law and even chaos. They have ALREADY confronted the world for what it is and CHOOSE to do SOMETHING about it. Instead of ignoring the issue, they want to conclude it. Eventually, either Law or Chaos will reign supreme.

[@DeisFortuna]

[@BalanceHeroSMT]

[@Evnyofdeath]

Neutral really could be seen as the best ending. Why? Because humanity has hope. In the Law and Chaos endings Humanity lacks an actual driving force, being controlled by either God or Lucifer. In the Neutral Ending humanity is forced to stand on it's own feet and confront the world for what it is. And the people of Mikado aren't insects, they'll be able to defend themselves.

[@Evnyofdeath]

That is true, however as the White return you to your reality before anything happens we have no clue what the result is. At the core of it I prefer the ending where Humanity is given control over their own destiny. Even a temporary freedom from the war between Chaos and Order is a boon to humanity, so they might live as they wish instead of obeying the whims of either God or Lucifer. Hope may be a fleeting thing, but while it lasts humanity prospers.

[@Evnyofdeath]

Yes, because destroying Lucifer and Merkebah, becoming an Icon the people in Tokyo can rally behind, and uniting two peoples as one is "ignoring the issue". Masakado flat out says that Flynn only won a temporary peace, however seeing as Flynn was resurrected once already to reestablish peace it's safe to assume that during the next conflict he'll return anew. The world is not absolute, one force cannot rule over another.

Well, in Devil Survivor, Remiel and the angels seem much more bro like and will even help you in neutral routes. Lucifer in this game seems less charismatic then in previous titles and doesn't seem to like you unless you go with him.

[@PrayingSeraph]

Well, since God created humanity and the universe, it would be very illogical to assume he would be dependent on believers or be drained of power. Having believers probably just allows himself to be revived after a defeat.

[@PrayingSeraph]

The only thing the MC and Isabeau accomplished was pissing off God and Lucifer and ironically giving another japanese god power to remove the ceiling over Tokyo. Even Masakado says in this ending that man will repeat its mistakes. Besides, I have a hard time believing that the Ashura-Kai and Gaea members will suddenly start holding hands and singing "Kumbia" together. Sure, Neutral allows the story to continue onto another game, but as a ending itself, it sucks like hell.

[@SazukeEX1]

To be fair you kinda revive Black Maria and you help in the making of the next Lady Danu.

[@TheTrueTobi1]

Actually, the Ashura-Kai disbanded after Tayama's death and most of the former members are dead and the rest are willing to help rebuild Tokyo due to Flynn since he is the Champion of Tokyo. The Ring of Gaea is still up, but there aren't as many members anymore. Some of them think that Flynn pretty much proved that their philosophy (Social Darwinism) is correct since he defeated Lucifer and the rest are planning to leave the faction to help rebuild Tokyo back to normalcy.

I just wanted to add though, if you beat Ancient of Days, it will show God bringing "arks" down to start a new world, with a new humanity. Blasted Tokyo was Tokyo, and its people were unclean. Mikado on the other hand is clean, so it is entirely possible for God to rule over the world in the law ending for eternity.
