What happens if you pick up NO mementos?
The last time I played through I tried doing this just out of curiosity, then had a total brain fade and picked up the very last one! I've looked around on the forum and on the interweb in general to see what happens, but haven't found anything yet.
If you don't pick up any mementos, what happens in the closing cut scene of the game? I'm figuring Cheryl doesn't look wistfully into an empty cardboard box.
I've used this game to introduce my best friend to Silent Hill. I didn't need to have to explain any of the story of the previous games. She wanted to play it as soon as I told her about the psychological assessment aspect, and that it was a more investigative, less combat-heavy kind of game. She absolutely loved it.

Nothing. Cheryl just closes an empty box.
Some people speculate that not getting certain mementos doesn't allow you to get certain endings, but I don't believe it. I've gotten every ending and past the the 3rd game, I never pick up the mementos anymore. Like ever.

Re: What happens if you pick up NO mementos?
There's little to no story associated with the momentos. If fact, many of them don't even make sense.

There's assloads, and they all make sense in hindsight. It's called symbolism.

Re: What happens if you pick up NO mementos?
^yeah but some of them are pretty vague, and i found the symbolism of some of them to be a little weak.
Re: What happens if you pick up NO mementos?
Hmm, I thought the more mementos you collected changed the ending between Cheryl and Harry. While the video recording ending is based on what game you played.
Re: What happens if you pick up NO mementos?
its mostly how your session with dr. kauffman goes. there are things in-game that effect the outcome. the mementos/echoes just give a clearer understanding of the story

And yes, what are some examples of "vague" mementos?
Re: What happens if you pick up NO mementos?
for example when your in the cathouse and you get the echo about a guy whose upset because the girl didnt wear the blonde wig. there is another echo related to the said one when you pass the blue car in midwhich high parking lot. my theory is its the teacher( the one who is caught holding cheryl in the 3 photos) and cheryl. sexual affair? ill have to figure that one out. see, thats an example of a vague one

Re: What happens if you pick up NO mementos?
hidden fire, frozen waters and movable feast were pretty vague to me. So was my flying lizard. Also @helldescent i think they were talking about examples of mementos specifically not echoes.

Hidden Fire = Cheryl smokes.
Frozen Waters = We just dealt with people dying and drowning in freezing waters.
Movable Feast = Knife. What has Cheryl done with a knife?

Or, A Moveable Feast and another Hemingway allusion.

But Aura was pointing out the significance to Cheryl I think.

Well, Cheryl's a Hemingway fan, then.

Re: What happens if you pick up NO mementos?
I thought that the name of that particular memento was less important than the inscription on the handle of the blade, which reads "all stories end with death" or something along those lines, which is definitely relevant.

Re: What happens if you pick up NO mementos?
Most all of the mementos were hints. See this thread.
