To get this ending, you need to have completed all of the various side quests before fighting the final boss - this includes returning all the items lost on the train/military bunker/sewers etc.
If you don't get it on your first attempt, it's possible to get it by loading your final save and using the revisit memories function to finish the missing side quests, then going to the final boss fight again.

I can confirm the ending is different once you have completed all Secondary Objectives.
I have all 145 collectibles though, so I'm not sure if this matters or not.
As of obtaining this achievement I have NOT obtained all talismans for the "Taoist" achievement.

I obtained this achievement without having collected all talismans or collectibles. This achievement is related to completing key side quests before defeating the final boss.

It seems that you also NEED to save cpt mustache and not in memory (missed it during my playthrough) -_- I'v done every sidequest and saved him in memory and still no achievement((

Note that this is a post credits bonus scene.

I have no idea if this is a glitch or not - but the last side quest I needed to get was getting Mr. Chuang's wine from the sewer level. Takasago Beer was the last collectible I needed but when I looked at the level it said I had all collectibles. I ran through it a good 5/6 times, and after just killing enemies over and over, it finally dropped for me. I am pretty sure it is suppose to spawn in a chest, but mine didn't. Just keep grinding the level!

Anyone have a list of the side quests?

@chuk1es thanks, got that mission done! Although I think the item was actually beer instead of wine 😅

In case you were worried, this achievement doesn't pop upon beating that final boss. It pops after the ending credits where they have some "after credit" scenes. I had all side-quests completed and did NOT collect all the talismans/collectibles.

Can verify that you don't need to have completed all sidequests, collectibles or talismans as I had done none of those things but was awarded this achievement post-credits. I sent the girl away and defended Tianding's aunt and uncle, and also saved our friend ib the temple. I had at least five fetch quests incomplete. I didn't even have the final weapon or all bun slots

Also worthy of note is that post-game you have an on-screen counter for collectibles when replaying memories (displayed as the item image and #collected/#total within that chapter, and there is a talisman you can equip that signifies a nearby collectible with a sound and "?!" above Tian's head. The bosses have one each that is a % chance drop, too

I just got this achievement after saving Captain Matsumoto in memory. Phew! Almost gave up when I saw the earlier comment here. I think the following are necessary because each is related to a panel in the good ending.
1. Save A Guai (possibly requiring Trick instead of Beat).
2. Help Auntie/Uncle Niu (possibly requiring Trick instead of Beat).
3. Help Captain Matsumoto survive the Battle at Zhongyi.
4. Help enough beggars so that they capture Ching Feng to dispel his rumors (may require returning to around the starting area in the town to trigger the cutscene).
