Endings

Endings are "movies" that play at the end of a game, essentially a long cutscene. They normally tie all the information from the game together so that everything makes sense, revealing the fates of the characters involved. To get all of the endings for each game in the Fatal Frame series, it is necessary to play each game through at least twice. Conditions for unlocking new endings can be either beating the game on a harder difficulty mode or meeting conditions within gameplay, and some endings are only available on a certain console. For some endings the final cutscene remains the same; the only difference is a sequence of pictures that show during the credits, called a "photograph ending". In Fatal Frame V, each character has at least two endings, any of which can be viewed on any difficulty.
