10 Alternate Video Game Endings That DRASTICALLY Change The Story

OK, this entry is a bit of a cheat as it pertains to the ending to a side story, as opposed to the main event. But having learned of its existence, it felt too ridiculous not to include.

In the original Persona 5: Royal, if you decide to have protagonist Joker romance more than one of the game's love interests then your cheating ways catch up to you on Valentine's Day. All your girlfriends decide to surprise you at your home, resulting in them meeting one another and realizing you've been spreading your wild oats across enough fields to fill a county. This goes exactly as well as you'd expect for your protagonist, who finishes the day beaten, chastised and thoroughly humiliated by his scorned - and now very much ex - lovers.

However, an industrious dataminer discovered a scene that gives Joker an undeserved reward for his love-rat ways.

If you choose Persona 5: Royal's bad ending, Joker lives out the rest of his days in a fictitious reality comprising his perfect fantasy life. And in this particular deleted scene it appears that Joker's fantasy is to be king of his own willing harem, as all his girlfriends forgive him for cheating on them and say its OK for him to be with as many women as he wants.

It's not hard to see why this scene was deleted - watching Persona 5's female cast throw themselves at Joker is deeply uncomfortable, and Joker comes across as a creepy misogynist whose ultimate fantasy involves objectifying every woman in his life. Not a great look for a self-proclaimed hero of justice.
