So i just finished this game recently. On the collection menu it is stated that i got the 8th ending called "Special Ending".
I got this ending with a Sandy/Caffie/Anton on my party. I only have one event with Anton in a bar talking about being drunk and that's it, he never talk anymore. The ending goes like this:
The party goes into Central and beat Theodore whose actually the bad guy. Theodore then revealed to the party that Sandy's father is the God Child and Caffie's father, the late king is actually the Demon's Child. Caffie's father obsessed with the Dark Gate, killed Sandy's father then killed himself to resurrect the demon lord. with theodore tried to finish the job. Theodore sacrificed himself to resurrect the demon lord then the party fought him. After defeating the Demon Lord everything started to collapse and Sandy tried to sacrificed herself so the others can get away, Caffie doesn't want that and tried to sacrifice herself instead then credits rolled. After the credits it is shown that everyone is alive. Leo and Sandy still members of the guild and talked about there is still remnants of monster around the world. Caffie comes in and apparently she's an important member of Central now. Then Leo said something about how they're alive because Ginga saved them.
Now i wonder have anyone managed to get the other endings? I would like to know how to get them.

After reading some info on an old toucharcade thread, it seems like the game locked the ending you can get after fighting Ginga on his Lab. I load my save file and managed to get ending 2, 3 and 7. Ending 2 by taking Sandy and leaving Caffie out of party. Ending 3 is the opposite, taking Caffie and leaving Sandy.
I tried to use all boys party but the game acts as if Leo is the only one in the party. Got ending 7 out of that which is technically a bad ending. One thing to note is that i use Sandy/Caffie Anton throughout the game so i've never used the other characters and never get their events, so with them being silent might have something to do with this. I also couldn't get the other characters endings and everytime i have Sandy or Caffie on my party the ending i got always involves them.
Probably it's like the reputation system like in other hitpoint games like machine knight or crystareino where you have to get specific character's events to get their ending. The only event i remember i got is Caffie's background story from sleeping on an inn and Anton talking about being drunk by entering a bar.
Think i'm gonna do a new game plus playthrough with all boys party to test this. But to be honest the endings i got so far only have minor differences so i think it's not really worth the effort to replay the game just to get different ending.
Congrats on getting that many endings. I don't think I ever finished the game even once.

I actually didn't finish the game the 1st time i play it years ago. It feels old and the auto attack battle system kinda put me off. I just remember about this game after a "sale" app i got sent me a notification about this game going on a sale. And to be honest after giving it a second try it's actually way better than i initially thought.
I'm in the middle of my 2nd playthrough now and to my surprise i found many event that i've never seen on my 1st playthrough. I've been taking notes of 'em and gonna post it here after i've finished the game.

Greets! I don't know if anyone will ever see this, but I decided to play through this game again since I enjoyed it years ago when I first played it.
When I played years ago I was able to get endings 1-5 and 7. This time I was not able to get Ending 1, but thanks to the info Kamentierr posted I was able to get ending 6 (Ashura), and finally ending 8 along with 2,3,4,5, and 7. One reason I wanted to play through it again was to get ending 8 because I'd learned that ending 8 had a different version of the end boss. Come to find out it doesn't just have a different (and quite nasty) version of the end boss, but a whole new area containing said end boss; so that was pretty cool.
Some theories about the endings:
It seems you have to get all of a character's dialogues in order to make it possible to get that character's ending. I am guessing you have to get all dialogues for all characters in order to open the path to Ending 8.
In the last few weeks I played through the game twice. The first time through I got the Leo ending with Sandy, Caffie, and Shura in the party. I think this was because I'd missed something with Shura meaning I couldn't get his ending and therefore ending 8 was locked out as well. Caffie and Shura's respective endings were available but theirs require you taking one or the other with you, not both like you would for Ending 8.
My theory for ending 1 perhaps you have to get through the game without meeting the Character-specific ending condition for anyone (including Leo) in your final party. Somehow I did this years ago but I don't know how exactly; and I don't care to do another playthrough just to test this.
I have no idea what determines who's ending takes precedence if you have multiple characters in the party whose conditions have been met, or what exactly triggers the Leo ending being available.
