The short answer
After Yamato explains that the concert is canceled, Hashimoto offers the decisive choice. The current 100% guide maps the two options this way:
| Choice | Main outcome | |---|---| | First option: sell the shop to Takumi and donate the profits to the concert organizers | Rock of Ages — the positive concert outcome | | Second option: accept the new development and allow the shopping center to be built | Globalization — the development outcome |
Step by step
1. Finish the story until Hashimoto’s decision
Continue the main jobs and conversations until Yamato reveals the concert cancellation and Hashimoto presents the shop-development choice. Earlier dialogue can shape character moments, but this is the final decision tied directly to the two named outcomes above.
2. Choose Rock of Ages
Select the first option, which sells the shop to Takumi and donates the proceeds to the concert organizers. The community achievement guide identifies this as the route to Rock of Ages and the more positive concert resolution.
3. Choose Globalization
Select the second option, which accepts the development plan and lets the shopping center be built. The same guide identifies this as the route to Globalization.
4. Back up before the decision if you want both outcomes
Follow the official save backup and restore workflow before replacing anything. A backup can help you revisit a decision, but it does not prove every choice-dependent achievement will trigger from one restored branch.
5. Separate character outcomes from main endings
The official achievement list and current 100% guide include missable character results such as Melancholy, Ronin, and Ghost in the Frame. Search results sometimes count these routes as extra “endings,” which produces conflicting totals.
This guide uses the narrower, reproducible definition: two main endings produced by the final Hashimoto choice. It does not label a character achievement, epilogue variation, or unverified “secret ending” as a third main ending.
Why do search results show different ending counts?
Public pages use different definitions. Some count only the final binary choice; others count character-route outcomes or achievement branches. Rather than force a total from conflicting snippets, we list what the current full-release walkthrough evidence directly maps to named final options.
What not to assume
- A missable character achievement is automatically a separate main ending.
- Search snippets claiming three, four, or five endings use the same definition.
- A save restore guarantees every achievement will register without replaying its prerequisites.
- The Origami choice is the final Hashimoto choice; it is a separate earlier decision.
- An unverified “secret ending” should be treated as confirmed.
