Canon Ending?

[jestercard]

I'm confused. Which ending is the true ending? (Which sets off the plot for Ritual of the Night) If there is...

[Keiyo]

Probably none of them.

Going from the lore bits on the wiki, none of the endings really make sense for the final story of the game. Gebel supposedly created the castle where the final stages take place in the retro game, Alfred is going to that castle to steal a book from Gebel, Miriam and Gebel are directly opposed to one another, and Zangetsu doesn't have a definitive place in the lore yet (as far as I know). All of the endings feature these characters working together, sacrificing themselves for another, or outright dying, which wouldn't happen in respect to the main game.

Did you just spoil the plot for Ritual of the Night?

That's the real ending?

[jestercard]

I'm just saying, is this game connected to Ritual of the Night or not? That's all I'm asking.

It's just a spin-off, it's not canon.

You sure? Because there was this YouTube video I saw of Ritual of the Night, with Miriam fighting Zangetsu.

Achievements describe two of the endings, "Normal" ones. The one you get by recruiting all allies minus one and the one you get by killing all allies, minus one. I suggest the Nightmare mode ending is the true one, though. Because Zangetsu somehow survives, but in another dimension. And instead of "End", it says: "The End?"

And he become the Blade for Ichigo.

The initial idea (and thus, the description on kickstarter) was for this retro side-game to be a prequel to the story of Ritual of the Night; however, at some point later in time they changed their mind and the game became a self-contained spin-off completely unrelated story-wise with the main product. Except of course for using the likness of the characters to appear in the main game.
So in terms of continuity with Ritual of the Night, there is no canon ending, as the games aren't connected by it.

I mean, that's all information you'll either know going in, or learn very soon after starting it.
