After Giegue's defeat, the adults in the cavern are freed and brought back to their families in Easter, while Ana reunites with her mother and returns to Snowman. The group then parts ways, and each member continues with their own life. Lloyd is given a hero's welcome back in Merrysville, and is no longer bullied by his peers. Teddy, now fully recovered, changes his ways and becomes a live performer at the Live House in Ellay. In Snowman, Ana recieves a letter from Ninten, and eagerly hopes to meet him again. Back in Podunk, Ninten is greeted by his family, who infer that Ninten must be famished after his long journey. Now that the earth's crisis is finally over, Ninten decides to lay down and go to sleep. This extended ending finishes off with a cast of all the characters who appared ''in person'' in the game (minus Giegue, standard enemies, and bosses), a new credits sequence, and a post-credits scene: Ninten's father tries to call Ninten, apparently with urgent news, implying that a new problem has arose for investigation...

==Battle==
The game utilizes random encounters, similar to other early RPGS, such as the Final Fantasy series. When Ninten takes a certain number of steps, the screen will transition to the battle screen, displaying a random enemy. In battle, Ninten must defeat the enemy simply by attacking or using PSI, short for Psychic Powers. Additionally, Ninten has the option to run if the enemy is too powerful to fight. If Ninten defeats the enemy, he and any members in his party will gain EXP. Once Ninten gains a certain amount of EXP, his level increases, allowing for greater stats and new PSI powers. A high level is mandatory to finish the game, as the enemies progressively get more and more powerful as Ninten progresses.
==Stats==
*'''HP''' (Short for "Heart Points") - Shows the amount of damage Ninten can withstand. Any healing item replenishes this.
*'''PP''' (Short for "Psychic Points") - Shows how much PSI Ninten can use.
*'''Offense''' - Shows the maximum amount of damage Ninten can deal with a normal attack
*'''Defense''' - Shows how much damage Ninten can resist from an enemy attack.
*'''Speed''' - Shows how fast Ninten can attack. If he has the greater speed, he attacks first.
