This details the different steps you need to take to see the different endings available for both the male and female protagonist routes.
P3P All Endings Guide
This is for people who want to see all the possible endings in Persona 3 Portable. As this is an ending guide, there will be spoilers. I recommend at least beating the game once before reading through this, and don’t worry about not getting the true ending, since the steps for unlocking it are fairly straightforward when compared to Persona 4 Golden and 5 Royal’s true ending requirements.
Overview of Ending Branches
| Date | Story Progression | Ending Branches |
| 12/31 | “Let Ryoji live” (Refuse both prompts) | True Ending |
| 12/31 | “Kill Ryoji” (Accept 1st or 2nd prompt) | Bad Ending |
| 3/5 | No option for first playthrough. (NG+) It sounds like… “I don’t know” | True Ending |
| (NG+) 3/5 | Romanced Party Member It sounds like… (Party Member) | True Ending (6 Alternates) |
*New Game+ offers six different extra scenes for the true ending across the two protagonists.
Bad Ending
This is the earliest possible date you can “beat” the game and start New Game+.
December 31
Ryoji will ask you to make up your mind.
| Question | Correct Response |
| > This is a very important decision. > You must choose wisely… | Kill Ryoji |
ALTERNATIVELY (You can refuse the first prompt and accept on the second prompt)
| Question | Correct Response |
| > This is a very important decision. > You must choose wisely… | Let Ryoji live |
| I don’t want you to suffer… | Kill Ryoji |
True Ending
December 31
Ryoji will ask you to make up your mind. Refuse to kill him to progress the story.
| Question | Correct Response |
| > This is a very important decision. > You must choose wisely… | Let Ryoji live |
| I don’t want you to suffer… | Let Ryoji live |
March 5
If you achieve the true ending on your first playthrough, you will be given the default true ending, which has Aigis talking to you until everyone shows up. However, if you are on New Game+ and have romanced any of your party members during this playthrough by January 31, you will be given the added choice of picking one of them to show up early instead to talk to you.
For the male protagonist, the bonus choices are: Yukari, Fụuka, and Mitsuru.
For the female protagonist, the bonus choices are: Akihiko, Shinji, and Ken.
