I actually got this right the first time I played P5 by just being a smartass. To save you guys the trouble, here are the choices right after Sae attempts to leave the room without you giving up your team mates. 1. I want to make a deal 2. The phone 3. Show it to the culprit 4. Not a team mate Choose these 4 choices, and you're on your way to avoiding death.

"Your time will be cut short." *6 months later* Sae: And what happened after that? Protagonist: ...and then last Thursday, I ate a cheeseburger larger than my head.

BASICALLY GUYS DONT SNITCH

"Your time will be cut short" "I understand" Aka I will take more than 60 hours to speak with him

Akechi: *kills someone* Protagonist: _I feel like my bond with akechi is growing deeper_

"Your time will be cut short. His methods are unknown, so it might be dangerous to even speak with him for that long." *Joker literally tells all of the cases from Kamoshida, up to Sae*

Sae: WHY WON'T YOU TALK ABOUT THEM!? Joker: *gets on top of the table* I AIN'T NO SNITCH, I GIVE NO SHITS!!! MY LIFE IS FORFEIT, BUT I WILL NOT SNITCH!!

Sae thinks she's built up a steady case, but it doesn't hold water. The leader was caught at a casino, which doesn't exist once you leave the world, he was caught with weapons which are really just toys once you get back to the real world. Komoshida never reported anything stolen, Madarame couldn't report anything stolen because it was already stolen property, Kaneshiro was already a criminal, Medjed was threatening the whole of Japan, there was no real evidence that they killed Okumura, and lets not forget the fact that the Mental Shutdown cases started TWO years before the game began. Two years before the leader of the Phantom Thieves even arrived. So there are many holes on where she wants to step.

Sae:"We need to learn the truth!" Joker:"YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!"

Remain loyal even to the traitor, be straight and ask when you don't know what Morgana is talking about to remember. Simple.

Persona 4 is probably the hardest one to get to the true ending without cheating on the internet: First, you need to choose all the correct dialogues in the scenario where you must calm your friends Then, you must figure out who the killer is And finally, and the most bizarre of all, you must talk to a gas attendent you never even gave a thought about on the LAST DAY of the game after you thought you’re done with everything.

Don't snitch, kids. Stay in school.

WTF Sae! Pls stop punching the desk

I must confess.. I had it wrong the first time, and I truly felt ashamed. I was planing on saying "NO", but then I thought about how Sae cheats (and how apparently her shadow didn't change her ways), so I stupidly trusted her and snitched against my intuition. But, as soon as the bad ending started playing, I restarted the game.. They're right: your gut feeling IS right most of the time.

Sae: "...Then tell me! What is this 'justice' you speak of?" Joker: "The kind that your daddy died for." What would she have done if Joker said that?

When 69 played this he died for real and didn’t get to play any more

Dont snitch

How I wanted it to go down: Joker: You know your sister, Makoto? Sae: What about her? Joker: *Leans in closer with a whisper* She calls me daddy too... Sae: *Lunges at Joker and beats him up far more than the cops did at the start*

Every choice doesnt matter unless its selling out your friends or not

Honestly, even playing blind if you chose the sell your friends out option theres another prompt saying "Is this really the right choice?" Unless you're completely clueless or you're doing it on purpose its pretty difficult to get the bad ending

Step 1: Hook up with her

Thank God I watched this video. I have this game and my sister was playing it and was about to rat everyone out. I stopped her.

Who would snitch on they homies in the first place I got the good ending my first play through

Ain't no way yall played the game all the way up to this point and thought "Selling out my friends is the best option here"

AHA! SEE I KNEW THE WHOLE PANCAKE CONVERSATION WAS GONNA BE MENTIONED. I THOUGHT AKECHI WAS SUSPICIOUS! LET'S GOO!!!

Niijima Damn, that's a lot of dots.

Wait, people actually messed up here? Cause i could have sworn if you try to answer wrong the game stops you and says," hmm I dont think you should say that, you sure you wanna say that?"

Joker: Then I went to fourth base with the female members of the Phantom Thieves Sae: ... Joker: ... And with Mako- Sae: *COCKS GUN*

Hey! For those of you who see the scene after this, no spoilers of course, but I freaked out thinking I had failed lol. Just let it roll. It’s not what you think!

Sae: Looks like my time is up. Also Sae: Well..there’s also this *one* thing.

Idk why but when Morgana says “the smartphone, duh” it kills me every time

Short answer to video don't rat out your friends 😂 a wise pervert once said those who break the rules are scum ....but those who abandon their friends are worse then scum

After dying 7 times i finally got it right

There's something I don't get: Hasn't the main character pretty much told her the entire story at this point? Why is revealing your accomplices even a choice then? Like, they even specifically talked about Makoto at one point and I don't imagine a way to tell the story without revealing people...

*_This video has been taken down by Atlus_*

So basically dont be 6ix9ine

BEGONE *THOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT*

Sae's voice acting is on point!

Our time is up Still talking My time has run out Still talking

"Then on Friday I invited Makoto over to my room and we had.." *Inuadible sounds of someone getting beaten up*

When Sae ask if Goro Akechi was a Phantom Thieve say “NOT Akechi” Then Sae will say “So Goro Akechi wasn’t one of you” Then when Sae is asking about who the true culprit is tell her “NOT a teammate” 😏

She goes from trying to kill you in the medaverse to being the key to saving your life. Sae is an MVP but Futaba is the real hero for making this plan work.

How to survive: Snitches get stitches.

Gaurd:"Your time will be cut short" Sae:"I understand" Minutes later Joker: and then your sister riped a mask off of her face summoning a motorbike Sae:...

akechi with white gloves in the anime cutscene: YA DUN F*CKED UP BOI! akechi with black gloves in the anime cutscene: (in sae's mind) YA DUN F*CKED UP BOI!

I actually failed this and died because I assumed that Akira had already told Sae most of everything anyway, considering how the entire game up until this point was a flashback. She was even one of your confidants, and you had just beaten her palace. I thought that there was a twist, like she was going to secretly help you escape if you gave up your friends, showing her that you trusted her. Basically, I over thought it, and I died. Kinda crushed me to be honest. Loaded up my save and continued onward like nothing ever happened. Still wish I would've chosen right though...

How to get good endings P3: Don't be an idiot lol P4: Carefully plan your time and select through specific choices even after you think everything is over P5: Don't be an idiot lol

Pretty much don’t sell your friends out (Phantom Thieves AND other confidants alike) and use what you learned about Sae in her Palace to make it out alive. Would’ve loved that advice on my very first play through, but that’s what New Game + is for, right?

Main character:-*breathes* Sae:-Someone is supplying you with air right?

*Sae slams table* 28 STAB WOUNDS!!! Lol just wanted to add that 😂 everytime she slammed the table it reminded me of the interrogation in Detroit becomes human. Also, thanks so much for this video, I watched it before I went ahead with this and selected similar choices. I was an idiot and I thought Sae would’ve helped Joker if I sold out my friends. I’ve seen the bad ending and it looks so depressing 😭 thank god I had 3 saves.

Short answer: Snitches gets stitches and end up in ditches.

I got it right on my first try, but it didn't seem like it, so I was fuckin' scared when Joker "died"... I never saw it coming

Thank you soooooo much! I was thinking about just doing it myself (which would have led to the bad ending) and if it weren’t for this video I’d pretty much be in a terrible position right now! So thank you!

Momma didn't raise no snitch

I still love that P4 were detectives, and P5 was thieves. It's like the Magic Kaito - Detective Conan crossover

I love this was on my recommendation the moment I got this wrong. To be completely honest, I was sick at the time while doing this. I didn't even understand how bad this really is. It, just makes me feel like a garbage person for getting this bad ending. I betrayed my collaborators first. It is such a bad feeling to just, do that. It kinda makes me wonder if I am a bad person or not. Either way, thank you for posting this for the people who need it.

I can see sae being like.. HOW IS YOUR HAIR SO SILKY AND SMOOTH WITH A SHINING TEXTURE, YOU MUST HAVE A HAIR STYLIST FIXING YOUR HAIR WHILE YOUR DOING WHAT YOU DO. dundun dundun i am thou. ETC

Right thing to tell her huh? Will you be my girl?

Sae is punching the table like nothing. Phoenix would be proud

snitches get stitches

This would theoretically explain why Persona 5: The Royal will be released from 2019 to 2020.

Went in blind, and i think i only slipped up near the end. I had read something wrong, and thought Sae was on our side, when she was still in questioning mode. Fun fact; the game will slap you in the face for choosing the wrong answer, so you have to deliberately go for the bad end.

In the true ending, whatever happened to Joker in the present day? Was he placed in jail? Free to go? Or did he escaped from the police department? I don't have the game and don't have time to watch all the walkthrough videos

Glad I picked the right answers so far on accident 😂

Calling card for jetb You have bean a good KZfaqr and I we will steal your heart to change your heart to a best KZfaqr Edit: is it me or is it dusty thank for 121

I've got persona 5 and just got to this point in game last night. And mind I that was epic faked death lol.

I genuinely thought I could not go back and change my options, thanks to you I can reverse my death along with making a previous save. Thank you for making this video, genuinely.

Oh my god . I can’t believe that people could spend hours playing this just so that they die because of these few choices . Can you imagine their reaction if they snitched and died and they thought that was the end then looked it up and found out that they lost because they snitched ?

me: *accidentally misses a button press and makes the wrong choice* game: boi u sure u want dat, it's like, u rat out ur friends me: eh okay also me: *sees bad ending* also me: *totally selfashamed* also me: ok i made da wrong choice cuz of a button press absent, let's forget it ever happened also me: *will probably never forget because he has such practice in other games* [I mean accidentally getting a bad ending instead of a good one for stupid reasons like this / bad choices] *but his heart is cleaner now cuz he saw dat bad ending*

When I chose not to rat out my brus, I thought I got the bad ending when Joker died, and I was even more confused when Ryuji deviously smiled in the animated cutsene.

I even tried to intentionally choose different dialogue options on my 2nd playthrough and somehow never knew there was a possibility to die.

Thanks dude, I was so confused when Akechi frickin quick scoped me and the credits started rolling lmao Your a GOAT man 🐐🐐

The right things to S A E

Someone remind me of the crazy plan this all went through First of all, the group suspected Akechi from the start when they heard him remark something about pancakes being said when Morgana was the only one saying anything (I noticed this and thought this meant he’d become a Thief along with/over Makoto, look how wrong I was) proving he had been to the Metaverse beforehand. After accepting his deal, they planned out everything to happen after Sae got her calling card. They’d steal the treasure as normal, but the actual treasure was replaced by an empty briefcase beforehand to trick Akechi into thinking it was the real thing. Then they knew somehow that Akechi would bring in the police to the Metaverse to catch Joker/the entire crew, so they acted surprised when they saw the army of officers when they in fact had planned out the next bit of text wall, to happen after Joker was caught. So there was a secret cognitive interrogation room and a real room, each with their own copies of Joker inside, because the Thieves somehow figured *that* out too. Sae interrogates the real Joker, and Akechi is tricked into killing the cognitive Joker so that everyone thinks he’s dead. The only thing that could ruin the entire plan is Sae not being convinced, so Joker has to convince Sae that he’s telling the truth and he’s not bad (if he doesn’t, bad ending, if he does, good ending), then tip her off to show Akechi the phone to transport him into the Metaverse so the real Joker wouldn’t die. And *then* after all of this the one person to smuggle Joker out is Sae after she’s convinced, to expose Akechi to the thieves and finally figure out who was behind everything. AND REMEMBER THAT THE THIEVES ARE A BUNCH OF HIGH SCHOOLERS AND AN ANTHROPOMORPHIC CAT, HOW THE HECK DID THEY THINK OF ALL OF THIS JVJKSLDCKJDDNCJCJANSMD

if you honestly got the bad ending by accident shame on you

10:32 *How Bout dat?* Old memes 2017

When Sae answered phone, was that when she entered her palace and the plan went off?

I accidently sold the people out, got the bad ending then over rite my recent wave so im rlly sad now

"Your time will be cut short" Ren spending the next 300 hours explaining how he ran in a circle last Tuesday than played darts for an hour

Sae assumes wayyy too much stuff in this scene to save Joker's ass. That's what we call plot convenience. There's a lot of that in this game.

I find it hilarious how most of the people here also decided to date Makoto and rub it in Sae's face

Long story short. Don't pull a 6ix9ine.

I didn’t know I could even choose wrong here

Snitches get stitches, especially in this case

So is this the interrogation from the start of the game, or the ending? Because if it's the first one, i'm royally boned.

who in there right mind would sell out there own friends! also notice you didn't have an opption to sell out akechi

am I the only one who believed that we didn't really need to change Sae's heart? I mean we did need it for her to stop pursuing us but at the same time it was just mostly a trap for Akechi's betrayal, since in the end it was like a "fuck it with the treasure and run!" or maybe it was just my way of interpreting the game, to this day I still play because why not?

I almost snitched because she kept telling me it was the only way out, but when the game asked ARE YOU SURE YOU WANNA DO THAT, YOU FREAKIN' MORON? I realized I wasn't supposed to, lol. In hindsight it was a pretty stupid idea since all Sae ever promised me was to maybe get me out of the death penalty.

Thank you for saving my hide.

Akeria understands but doesn't care friends are what these games are about

Thanks for the guide :) I got one of the bad endings which surprised me but was able to go back and follow this guide.

YOU HELPED ME SO MUCH THANK YOU THANK YOU THANKS YOU

People actually need help on this? The first time I played, I hit it right on the head, no problem.

WHERES PHOENIX WRIGHT AT?!

Ok for a second there when it started I was thinking WAIT I HAVE TO DO IT ALL AGAIN?

I actually did this on my first try so now I feel a sense of accomplishment

When she said she would lighten the sentence if we rat out our friends , I was like BAITCH I WOULD RATHER DIE THAN RAT OUT MY FRIENDS also what happens when you rat out your friends?

This video seems to have confused the majority of people. If you're playing this and decide to sell out your friends then what do you expect? Plus the game basically warns you if you try to do it and it's so blatantly obvious no one should ever accidentally get this.

I did that all I'm thankful for you marking this video once I beated sae I use this video and say the same things he said sae went rank 10 she wasn't at rank 10 for me but when I said the right things to her she hit rank 10 already just like him and everyone else this video helped sp thx very much oh makee sure to keep thinking about all three of them at the same time that's how getting them at the ranks they needed to be went well for me so when I hang out with them and I think about then that's how it all went well for me you have no choice to do that thats all

Congrats at 670,000 kev!-Kyle
