: Okay, let’s do the alternate party scenes for the ending first. First up is Elly’s version. I’ll assume we’re staying Formal Elly so this flows better.
: “Is that so? Oh, my.. hee-hee!”
: “Tsk.. people do like to talk, but nothing’s noisier than girls gossiping.”
[Jihei and Mark enter here]
: “Sorry, guys… man, that was hell. Jihei and me lost our second buttons on the way here! Those girls were all over us… we had to surrender the buttons to survive.”
: I’m not entirely sure what he’s talking about, probably some kind of Japanese cultural thing.
: “There were a bunch of people looking for you too, Nanjo.”
: " ‘A wise man never courts danger.’ Use your head, man."
: “Yeah, yeah, if you say so…”
: “It must be difficult for you all, being so popular…”
: “Well, I hate to break it to you, but you’re hanging out with us next!”
: “Let’s go! Time waits for no man, you know.”
[Maki and Elly leave the diner.]
: “Aw man, there they go. Heheh.. looking at Maki now, that mess before seems like a bad dream.”
: “Heh. Pandora, eh…?”
: “Man, you’re still stuck on that?”
: “Oh, it’s nothing. I just remembered the last thing in Pandora’s box…”
: “Well then, Mark, shall we go?”
[Nanjo leaves the diner.]
: “Wait a sec, did you just call me Mark? Hey!”
: Next up is Ayase’s version. With hers, I haven’t seen a video of it, but I assume it takes place with her and Maki already at the diner. Judging from the first couple of lines, I assume she’s talking with Maki.
: “Seriously !? Jihei!? That’s totally awesome!”
: “Huh.. Jihei I could see, but Masao?”
: “Remember the promise, Jihei? We’re gonna ride the freefall 10 times! Over and over until we hurl!”
: That’s seriously all that’s in the script. I assume that Nanjo and Mark never show up.
: Finally, we’ve got Brown’s. I’ve been saving this one. I haven’t seen a video of this one either, but I assume everyone but Brown and Maki is already at the diner.
: “Hey, looks like Mr. Smellypants is here.”
: “Heheh… laugh it up, chump. Today’s the last day you get to call me that!”
: “You’re not too fond of heights, are you Massy? Or should I say, Mr. Dampcrotch?”
: “What the – who told you that, you bastard!?”
: “Mwahaha.. your mom gave me every last detail! My, my, how shameful for a sixth-grader!”
: “That stupid cow! Can it, okay? It’s better than crapping your pants in junior high!”
: “Well technically, sixth grade’s part of junior high, too… heheheh.”
: “I’m gonna get a good look at a return performance by Mr. Dampcrotch today!”
: “Those nitwits! Where do they think they are!? Ugh, they give me a headache.”
[Jihei and Maki enter.]
: “Sorry to keep you waiting! Huh…? What’s wrong, guys?”
: “Jay! Maki! Perfect timing. Mark here wanted to tell you how excited he is to ride the freefall!”
: “Ooh, really? Then let’s get going!”
: “Hidehiko, you dick!”
: “Heeheehee…”
: “What’s wrong? C’mon, let’s go! Chisato and the others are waiting outside!”
: “Hidehiko…! I’ll get you!”
: “Man, I can’t wait to see this!”
: The rest of the ending from this point on is almost identical to Reiji’s - including Nanjo doing the thing about Pandora’s box and Brown responding “What’s that supposed to mean?” the same way Reiji did.
: Now I’ll do a brief thing on where each character is at the time Persona 3 starts. In Persona 3, Trish (the healing fairy) has her own talk show that can be seen throughout the game on the TV at the dorm, and does interviews with most of the P1 cast. The reason I’m doing this, by the way, is that if you happen to go on to play Eternal Punishment after reading this LP, you might get really confused for a bit. That’s because Eternal Punishment’s localization (which does not seem that bad otherwise) uses the Americanized names from Revelations: Persona for the P1 characters.
: Maki will return in both versions of Persona 2, where she works as the assistant to a psychiatrist and is presumably going to college to be a therapist. By the time Persona 3 rolls around (which is actually 2009, the same year P2 takes place) Maki is described by Trish as an “excellent therapist”.
: Nanjo will return in both versions of Persona 2 as well, though he has a bigger role in Eternal Punishment than he does in Innocent Sin. He presumably takes over the Nanjo Group before Persona 2 starts, and later forms the Kirijo Group (which will be familiar to anyone who has played P3) which spins off as its own company. Essentially, he becomes the Speedwagon of the early Persona games.
: Reiji will return in both versions of Persona 2, where he’s a salesman who works with another character we’re only going to meet once we do Snow Queen. When interviewed by Trish, she describes him as “a man in his 20s with a sour face” and quickly corrects it to “a handsome salaryman”.
: Elly will return in both versions of Persona 2, but like Nanjo has a much larger role in Eternal Punishment. I can legitimately see people playing EP not understanding that this is even Elly because of how different (and homogenized with Maki and Yukino) she looks. In both versions of P2, she’s started a successful modelling career.
: Brown will return in both versions of Persona 2, where I assume he fuses with some kind of demon representing godawful fashion sense. In P2, he’s a TV presenter and godawful comedian.
: Yukino will return in both versions of Persona 2, but has a much larger role in Innocent Sin. In P2, she’s a photographer working at a teen magazine called “Coolest”, along with the protagonist of Eternal Punishment.
: As for the rest of the cast - Mark and Ayase never show up again. Ayase in fact never even gets a cameo in Persona 3 and is the only member of the P1 cast not to do so.
