00:00 "Come on, let's go home."
00:05 Welcome to Mojo Plays.
00:07 We're counting down our picks for video game endings that fill us with more joy than
00:13 any others.
00:14 That means you'll find major spoilers ahead.
00:17 "I believe we deserve a bit of a rest."
00:21 "That we do."
00:23 Before we begin, we publish new content all week long, so be sure to subscribe and ring
00:28 the bell to get notified about our latest videos.
00:32 Bioshock Since Bioshock follows a dystopian descent,
00:47 there aren't many happy moments for the characters of Rapture, and that goes double for the Little
00:51 Sisters.
00:52 These children have been warped by Adam, a substance which alters genes and allows citizens
00:57 to use powerful plasmids.
00:59 When the player comes across them, they can choose to harvest their Adam, killing the
01:02 Little Sister in the process, or remove a smaller amount so that the girl can still
01:07 live.
01:08 "No, no, no, no."
01:16 "Thank you."
01:21 If you choose the latter and rescue enough of them, you'll get the happiest ending.
01:26 The player takes them to the surface, caring for them so that they can lead normal lives.
01:31 They're even there at your deathbed, a loving legacy that came from something horrible.
01:37 "And since the end, what was your reward?"
01:45 "You never said, but I think I know.
01:48 A family."
01:49 Persona 5
01:50 "You over there!"
01:51 "Hey, look this way!"
01:52 "After we said we disbanded, my word."
02:01 In general, JRPGs tend to have happy endings, but when it comes to Persona 5, the strong
02:06 camaraderie between the characters makes it even more noteworthy.
02:11 After spending hours upon hours helping each of your friends through their various struggles
02:15 and villains, it's time for them to help you out.
02:17 "My friend's in trouble, and I'd like everyone's input."
02:20 "Ooh, that sounds like fun!"
02:21 "If this is any more work, count me out."
02:24 "You know you want to, Inari!"
02:26 The Phantom Thieves get your false assault charges overturned and offer to drive you
02:30 back to your hometown.
02:32 Seeing them all happy together and having brought them all together in the first place
02:35 is heartwarming to say the least.
02:37 But the gang also heads on a road trip before taking you home.
02:41 Knowing they're all experiencing freedom from their own trauma for the first time is
02:45 enough to bring a tear to your eye.
02:55 Journey This indie darling does a lot with its story
02:58 considering there isn't a single piece of dialogue in it.
03:01 In Journey, players take a mysterious robbed figure through a vast desert to reach the
03:06 top of a mountain.
03:07 Along the way, you'll come across obstacles, puzzles, and several other figures like you.
03:12 You might think these figures are just helpful NPCs since there's no way to communicate
03:16 with them, but they're actually other players.
03:19 After reaching the end, a joyous moment in its own right, you'll spot the usernames
03:24 of those who helped you in the credits.
03:26 It's a small moment, but a beautiful artistic expression that shows none of us are truly
03:31 traveling alone.
03:32 Undertale!
03:33 The End Like many other RPGs, Undertale features
03:46 multiple endings depending on how you play.
03:49 But the conclusion that is undeniably the happiest comes at the end of the pacifist
03:53 route.
03:54 First, you'll need to have beaten the game on a neutral playthrough.
03:56 Then, you'll have to beat it again without having killed any of the monsters you come
04:01 across.
04:22 After rescuing your friends and reconciling with him, the barrier separating the worlds
04:26 of humans and monsters is destroyed.
04:29 Everything ends peacefully with the player given the option to let Toriel become their
04:33 adoptive parent.
04:44 Hades
04:57 While Undertale sees you bring together a lovely found family, Hades has you reunite
05:02 a blood one.
05:03 As Zagreus, the son of Hades, continuously attempts to escape from the underworld, players
05:07 eventually learn he's doing so in order to find his birth mother, Persephone.
05:11 You first run ends when you find her on the surface, though players must reach this goal
05:16 another 10 times to unlock the true ending.
05:29 Despite their marriage being a happy one, each visit reveals more of the sad story before
05:33 Zagreus convinces her to come home.
05:36 Not only does this make his father less bitter, but they even feast with the rest of the Olympians,
05:41 like one big happy dysfunctional family.
05:53 Near Automata This happy ending only comes after a few sad
05:57 ones.
06:02 Following a climax where either 2B sacrifices herself to save 9S or both of them die, you
06:07 will be asked if you want to save them during the credits.
06:10 If so, those credits turn into a brutal shoot em up section.
06:14 When you die, you receive words of encouragement left by other players.
06:18 Die enough and you can have them join you in the fight.
06:21 They're only able to do so by deleting their save data.
06:24 You can choose to as well, adding your strength to a future player in need.
06:35 That level of sacrifice for complete strangers is sure to tug on your heart strings.
06:47 This also leads to the androids starting again.
06:57 Celeste In addition to its high difficulty, Celeste
07:00 became best known for its thoughtful approach to mental illness through video game mechanics.
07:05 It tells the story of Madeline, a troubled young woman who climbs the mysterious mountain
07:10 as a way to overcome her personal problems.
07:12 On her journey, she's plagued by what seems to be an evil version of herself.
07:17 However, Celeste teaches us acceptance of ourselves rather than rejection.
07:21 By the end, Madeline is able to find peace within her, make it to the top of the mountain
07:25 and share some strawberry pie with her new friends.
07:28 We know that her issues haven't been magically erased and that life will continue on, but
07:33 the ending shows our protagonist much healthier and happier than where she began.
07:37 It Takes Two Most of It Takes Two is a zany, delightful
07:44 co-op romp and the ending is just as joyous as we were hoping it would be.
07:49 On the verge of divorce, feuding parents Cody and May are turned into toy dolls by their
07:53 daughter's wish.
07:55 They then have to rely on each other and whatever tools each level gives them to make it back
07:59 to their original bodies.
08:05 As the game progresses, all of the jaded and hateful feelings between them are broken down,
08:10 allowing for the love they once held for each other to grow anew.
08:13 After their kiss breaks the curse, they're surprised to learn their daughter has run
08:17 away, but after reassuring her, the family heads home ready for a new chapter.
08:27 The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt A dark plot makes a happy ending all that
08:33 more powerful.
08:47 The Witcher 3 features multiple endings, but the widely accepted best one shows Geralt's
08:52 adopted daughter Ciri join him on the road as a fellow Witcher.
09:07 Geralt's profession makes his life a lonely one, so an ending like this is sure to make
09:11 you crack a smile.
09:13 Even more joyful is the conclusion to its DLC Blood and Wine, which ends with Geralt
09:17 being gifted a vineyard for his services.
09:20 As it closes and Geralt ponders the thought of retirement, a knowing smile into the camera
09:25 signals gratefulness to players and the thought of easier days ahead.
09:28 Depending on your choices, he can also be joined by one of his romantic interests.
09:39 Uncharted 4 A Thief's End Ending Uncharted 4 on a quiet, peaceful note
09:57 was the best choice Naughty Dog could've made.
10:00 With his long journey over, Nate finally finds balance in his life.
10:04 His underappreciated wife Elena uses some recently acquired treasures and buys the salvage
10:09 company he worked for.
10:10 Fast forward years later and the pair have created quite the pleasant life.
10:21 The epilogue has you control their teenage daughter Cassie and shows that the duo have
10:25 never given up on a venture.
10:27 After finding relics of her parents' past, Nate begins to tell her of his old escapades
10:31 as Elena smiles on.
10:33 Knowing what the pair have been through, it makes our hearts ache with happiness.
10:37 Not only was it well deserved for the characters, but extremely satisfying for fans.
