Endgame Plus: Difference between revisions

Bonus content in a [[Video Game]] (and [[RPG|RPGs]]s in particular) that is available during the final chapter, but does not become unlocked until having defeated the [[Final Boss]] and watched the credits roll. These games will often prompt the player to update their save file after the end credits, often displaying a special icon with the file to indicate the game has been cleared.

This differs from a [[Playable Epilogue]] in that the [[Playable Epilogue]] is set ''after'' the final chapter has concluded, and acknowledges that you've saved the world; an [['''Endgame Plus]]''' [[Timey-Wimey Ball|returns the player]] to the world as it looked ''during'' the final chapter, with the [[Big Bad]] still waiting for his [[World Domination|ultimate]] [[The End of the World as We Know It|plan]] is to come to its final fruition, and the player standing just before the [[Point of No Return]] or outside [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon]] to throw that critical [[Spanner in the Works]] and [[Save the World]].

This is distinct from games that unlock bonus content via an "Extras" option on its frontend menu; here, the bonus content is something accessible ''in-universe'', like a bonus shop, minigame, or dungeon...or [[And Your Reward Is Clothes|even just clothes]]. The exact bonuses [[Guide Dang It|may or may not be immediately obvious]] when the player reloads their completed save file -- butfile—but hey, [[Take Your Time]]....

* The [[Bonus Dungeon|Bonus Dungeons]]s in the [[Game Boy Advance]] versions of ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]'', ''[[Final Fantasy V]]'' and ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]'' become available after beating their respective [[Final Boss|Final Bosses]]es once.
