Endings (Spoilers, obviously)

Well I just finished another run of Ogre Battle 64 (on virtual console) and confirmed the existence of another ending, which differs (in some ways) from the 3 standard endings (High CF, Mid CF, Low CF).

To my knowledge, here are the all the possible endings of Ogre Battle 64 (and what may or may not vary).

1. High Chaos Frame Ending (67-100): Frederick takes over the kingdom, but eventually dies. Magnus takes his place as king of the Palatinus.
   
2. Medium Chaos Frame Ending (34-66): Frederick takes over the kingdom, but eventually dies. Magnus serves as a general of Palatinus, pledging allegiance to no one, not even his king.
   
3. Low Chaos Frame Ending (0-33) without Destin in your army: Magnus is sent away from Palatinus by generic Paladins before meeting Frederick. He is accused of being consumed by the Infernal Aura and vanishes forever. Palatinus is overrun by the eastern barbaric tribes.
   
4. Low Chaos Frame Ending (0-33) with Destin in your army: Magnus is sent away from Palatinus by generic Paladins before meeting Frederick. He is accused of being consumed by the Infernal Aura. He is tend confronted by Destin. Destin tells Magnus that his decisions weren't wrong, but they weren't right either. Destin asks Magnus to follow him, so that he may learn and make use of his potential. Palatinus is overrun by the eastern barbaric tribes.
   
5. Low Chaos Frame Ending (0-33) - Lose the Caliber Battle against Destin: If Magnus is defeated by Destin in the Caliber battle, the Zenobian hero tells Magnus that his decisions weren't wrong, but they weren't right either. Destin asks Magnus to follow him, so that he may learn and make use of his potential. Palatinus is overrun by the eastern barbaric tribes.

In both Medium and High CF endings, there will cut-scenes with the various characters you recruited into your battalion. The most notable being a lengthy conversation between Destin and Magnus about destiny and fate. It's notable that in all endings except #3 Destin asks Magnus to go with him. Magnus only agrees in endings #4 and #5.

If you defeat Destin in the Calibur battle, you get ending #3.

One could argue ending #4 isn't really it's own ending, but I find the ending of the game much more complete with Magnus going along with Destin instead of the generic "never seen again."

oh Wow, great topic

It really makes me wonder if there are more possibilities with high chaos frame as well.

Nah, the other "possibilities" only affect the small cutscenes where the characters in your army interact.

If you have Destin he has a lengthy convo with Magnus about Yumil, but that's the only noticeable change.

BTW, since my CF wasn't below 34 when I attacked the capital, Yumil killed King Procus before the sieging mission, however there was no sign of Ankiseth at all. He's simply MIA since the beginning of Chapter 3, when he refused to join Magnus.

Really?In my first playthrough I got a scene in which Yumil kills Ankiseth.How I got this?I chose to make peace with them but then refused his offer to join.
