We already know that Persona 5 Royal introduces a number of new story elements, some of which are set to significantly expand and potentially reshape the existing plot. New characters, a whole new school semester -- it all sounds great so far. But what about more meaningful player choice? As it happens, Royal will apparently offer "several new endings", all of which Atlus describes as "unique".
In the latest issue of Game Informer, as reported by Persona specialist @MysticDistance on Twitter, the developer has this to say: "The game is made so you can still enjoy the original storyline and ending. However, we think that the newly added scenes help to deepen the feeling of the game. How that ties in with the new term is something we would love for you to experience for yourself. But, depending on how you play, we've prepared several new endings unique to Persona 5 Royal."
"Rather than saying the game has been 'expanded,' it might be more appropriate to say it has been 'deepened," the quote continues.
Obviously we don't know how in-depth these endings will be. Perhaps you get a slightly different ending depending on your choice of girlfriend, but it still sounds promising. Here's hoping for some interesting conclusions.

The original ending is maybe my favorite end to any game, so I'm curious to see what they'll do with it. Glad that it sounds like they're preserving the tone.
I reckon it’ll be different depending on if you beat the superboss, chicken out and get the original ending or if you beat the super-superboss. That’s how it works in other situations like this anyway.
At this point, I just want the game and don't care for the drip-feed of teasers.
Since you can negotiate with the Mementos Targets that may have an impact to determining what ending you will get.
Based on how I played the original P5, I'll probably unwittingly stumble upon all the bad endings before getting a good ending.
I expect there to be a true canon “royal ending” just like how persona 4 golden added the true canon “golden ending”.
@Alphapatriot1 You mean for your Nintendo Switch, right?
It's actually a shame I already bought Persona 4. I'm not paying full price for DLC. They're basically doing the Pokemon merger thing here.
@personauser0893 No he doesnt its coming too PS4 too. 😉
