I'm on the fence if I should play 999. It's only $20 on amazon and the Zero Escape is $30, so I don't see why not. But they're visual novels and while I do really enjoy visual novels they aren't games I get hyped over, unless it was Phoenix Wright.

AA isn't a VN. And 999 is worth it, also Zero Escape is the name of the series, the name of the second game is Virtue's Last Reward. Finally, get the fuck out of here.

Everybody likes the sprites better, but 3d is cheap and is part of what allowed Uchikoshi to pitch the sequels.

Are both the 3ds and Vita editions of ZTD for Europe digital only?

>>324088748

I think so, the common theory is that? is actually the player, who has jumped into the consciousness of K/clone sigma, and Akane is talking directly to the player.

There are a few nods to it in Ever 17, but they are fairly minor to the overall story and it's overall not necessary to read beforehand. It's also kind of shit, a fairly standard dating sim-esque VN.

>>324090452

It's a game made years after the fact, by none of the same people, set in a different universe, and with terrible writing (featuring a high school setting and a second year protagonist like it's a shitty by-the-numbers anime), but with the Infinity label slapped on it for a reason unknown to anybody other than the developers.

Oh yah, I kind of did the same thing on the alice route when you can ally or betray Phi. All the other routes I went Ally first then betray after endings or whatever, but this time I decided to go Betray. Ends up working perfectly for the story since Phi remembers that you betrayed and chooses betray herself when you jump back to ally.

What the fuck happened to Clover between 999 and VLR?
In first game she had cute design, and actually helped with some puzzles, and wasn't total idiot.
Then in VLR she's totally shit. Why?

>>324094435
Theres a shitload of that sort of stuff all through the game. the case for the game has sigmas hair tinted white and his eye is glowing

>>324094515
Japan happened

>>324094515
Maybe the trauma of failing that one mission just broke her.
Other interpretations include:
- She's acting stupid.
- Alice is a terrible influence.
- Alice is sucking Clover's intelligence out of her.

>>324094515
trying to be like alice is what I assume. Sort of like she sees her as a role model, so she dresses skimpy and acts like a cunt sometimes

>>324094515

Clover was always a childish idiot. The only thing people seem to remember about her was the axe ending.

I just really like this series and I'm glad it's HOPEFULLY getting a solid ending. I'd rather they start a whole new chapter of the infinity series after Zero Time Dilemma and we get some really solid wrap up, if we don't I'll be bummed out. I think I like VLR better than 999 though, the prisoners dilemma aspect was really fun and there were far less throw away characters.

You are in a very small group along with me that prefers VLR. 999 had some godlike atmosphere, and probably better characters(not by much) but VLR just has so much going for it I feel. ZTD cant come soon enough cause I think its gonna take the best of both worlds and just slam them together for a 10/10 crazy end to the series

I've got a million subjective complaints about VLR, but can we all agree that the route locking system was complete shit?

>tension is high as fuck, plot of route is reaching its climax
>TO BE CONTINUED
>"fuck I really wanted to know what happened, oh well"
>3 playthroughs later, find the key for the route lock
>none of the tension is still there, not really interested anymore, resolution just gives me an "oh, huh" instead of being exciting

Just me? I don't think I've ever seen anyone else complain about this. I hope ZTD's writing is tighter so we don't have to deal with this.

999 still had route locking. There is no way to get the true ending on the first try. It requires a minimum of 2 plays to "beat".

>>324096061
I wouldn't be surprised if she made some sort of cameo in the game. She is practically the symbol for the series now.

>>324098191
I seriously thought she was All Ice when I started playing, her being with Clover just made it seem obvious. Whatever happened to that frozen bitch anyways.

No, she's the worst character because

>she betrays you
>everybody calls you a fucking idiot

>>324098463
th-that's not what happened in the other...

>>324098335
yet

>>324094067
I really hope they make something in the spirit of this, but not as obvious.

I would've been totally okay with just unlocking the chart manually and having it show me when there's a branch, rather than lay out most of the paths from the beginning and pretty much spoil when Ally or Betray's going to get you a Game Over. Some kind of visual aid but one you have to unlock yourself.

Alice's second betrayal lost some impact when I realized the path ended there, but man did it still manage to make me mad. Alice was definitely the worst character in VLR. Heck, I'm willing to say she was more useless than Lotus.

Here's hoping she doesn't indirectly ruin Clover again if she does appear due to time travel shenanigans.

>>324094435
It's funny how I noticed all the old man comments, but figured that Sigma's hair had a grayish tint to it or something thanks to the box art. Then I saw K's ending and I figured it didn't make any sense, then the ending hit me.

I still don't know how to feel about 999 vs VLR. Dio was refreshing and a lot of things were convenient, but 999's sprites and atmosphere are so much better and felt a lot more grounded in reality. Had me convinced with all those morphogenetic field things and patched sock analogies, while Radical-6 and future space terrorist clones all felt odd in comparison.

>>324098412

Yeah, because it's not like there's another game where she'll likely appear or anything.

>>324098789

>Lotus
>useless at all

What about her leet haxors? She's also the first one to bring up the concept of morphogenetic fields.

I think they were both equally useless, only existing so they can do this one complicated thing, but Alice is somehow more of a bitch. Lotus talks about killing people, Alice actually does. I can't wait for the new slutty-looking bitch in ZTD!

>>324098917

You don't need to state a fact like it's an opinion friend

Am I the only one who thought VLR was kinda shitty compared to 999?

Specially all the lock stuff. I know it's lore related, but it really breaks the rythm of the game, trying to progress in a route and having to leave it for like another 3 or 4 routes.

Also 999 was self-contained and tight as fuck, whilst VLR goes all Earth ruined, on the moon stuff,

Although I loved the Radical-6 diaries.

>>324099118
B, because I want to see the world burn.

And because probably some other me has chosen A
I want to be in the Bad End

>>324099041

Lotus was there to work a computer and get kidnapped. Alice did the complicated calculation needed to crack the code, was the one who actually knew about bombs and could inform everybody about it, and took down Dio before Clover fucked up and let him kill himself.

>>324099431
You've still created an infinite number of realities where Uchikoshi lives a short miserable live, never finds happiness and kills himself only so you can play a game a little early, you fucking monster

>>324099541
I liked 999 better as an experience, but I still really enjoyed VLR as an extension of that

>>324099541

Thanks. I already whined about this earlier in the thread, but man those locks are lame. Also the 3D models look awful and the characters are overdesigned/just generally look bad.

>>324099541
I liked keeping track of a bunch of different situations going on, and learning more about that situation through the other routes. I can definitely see why people would hate that pacing though

>>324098191

>will never titfuck Alice and cum through her stupid necklace thing.

>>324099541
999 has a lock too. 999 also makes you replay the game from the beginning which was more or less a chore even with the fast forward.

>>324099608
>muh motorcycles

i love 999 but crackers uchikoshi i'm not a fucking mathamatician, i doubt more than 1% of people who plaid the game understood that

>>324099541
I don't know how to feel about the locks.

999 only had the one lock, which was to the true ending. VLR was all about the locks, which kind of makes sense, but I agree about the pacing. Went through the Luna route, got stopped at the password, then came back after doing every other route and completely forgot all the small things that happened, I didn't even remember that they met G-OLM in that path (also how have people not found out who voiced G-OLM yet? It drives me nuts), and trying to keep track of who's alive and who's dead was just wait until they shown a flashback of a corpse.

Yet, going through that entire route first would spoil everything, so the lock makes sense. Fastforward would be too obnoxious, but maybe some kind of better summary system when you jump. It's tricky.

So glad I chose Luna as my partner from the very beginning, it paid off more than I imagined it would.

>>324100682

Assuming everyone actually died and no one was playing dead

>>324101039
That's because Seven wouldn't fit and Junpei is the protagonist, so he's out of the question. I really liked Lotus though. She played her part well.

But that's not the case. Ace was playing dead and killed you.

>>324101375
Ace. I can't remember exactly but you don't check if he's dead when you find his body and Lotus's body is missing her watch (which he could use to escape with the 0 watch he got from the captain's room).

I finally got to play VLR few weeks ago and recently finished it. The best thing about this game is writing. There are no major inconsistencies or plot holes, every little detail is important for a plot and each ending is a mindfuck leading to major mindfuck which is a true ending. But when you think about it, everything tied together and makes total sense in the game's universe, it never breaks it's own rules. I wish we had more games as well-written as Zero Escape series. Can't wait for ZTD now.

Maybe I'm just fucked in the head and my memory is shit.

Can someone explain How akane was in the game when both Seven and Santa witnessed her die in the past. I understand that its a matter of she died because you didnt help her so here you are being led correctly to prevent her death, but I dont understand how she could be alive in this line to prevent her death if seven and santa both saw her burn to bacon crisp. Her playing in the game and creating it means this line junpie saved her and to prevent a paradox shes recreating what happened, but seven saw her die. I could see santa just lying for the sake of his sister if anyone could remotely clear that up that'd be nice

Did anyone like/understood the color system?

If you checked out the artbook, you would see that they tried to duplicate her 999 sprites. When the game went 3D, they tried to translate the 2D drawings into models. It didn't work all that well. The artwork would have worked well as sprites in my opinion.

I liked them both pretty equally. I tried working out possibilities for the doors early on in 999, but soon stopped because they ran through them for you.

>>324102198

They didn't see her die and were just "playing along". She didn't die in the past, and had to recreate the events of the game just for that reason. Even on the endings where you don't save her she didn't die in the past since she still would have seen the proper "you saved her" future. One of the timelines where you didn't "save" her was even completely necessary to her being saved since she gave the "you" in another timeline the info she got from that one.

The wonderful thing about 999 is that finding a dead body of one of the players of the nonary game meant you were already fucked.

The way the game presents the corpses to you is absolutely fucking chilling and I love how it does it. Chill and Rigor is still one of the most memorable tracks ever.

>>324101938
I love it when you realize that submarine ending is just as discouraging for Ace.

But when you think about it, Safe ending, if seen as it's own, following time line, is grim as hell.

So him saying yes she was burned is the only real plot inconsistency that I don't understand. I could easily go with "akane is basically god and just implanted false memories" as an answer. what a cunt

>>324102198

Santa was lying, and Seven was in on it, all to preserve the future that Akane saw which would lead to her living.

>>324102219
I preferred the numbers system because I"m colorblind

>>324102035
Which of them was the timeline with the "turn off the light" puzzle?

>>324101970
What I feel is that that is the damn coolest title I have ever seen

Did anyone else immediately know the guy with the number 9 bracelet was going to die after they introduced the digital root in 999?

>>324101916
I would have guessed that. The only issue was that I could not reconcile that it was Junpei on account that VLR was "advertised" to take place 2 years after 999. But yeah, there were a lot of hints including the picture of young Akane he had.

Don't care. We get closure to ZE.

Then 9 years later after Uchikoshi leaves Spike-Chunsoft, they will make a sequel to the ZE franchise that will be as bad as Code18 apparently is.

>>324103165
And now he's gone. I really liked the art, just not for ZE, since it was two games of Nishimura and a change in art direction would cause inconsistencies. Not that the new artist is much better in that regard.

>>324103074
I did when I made the same discovery as Ace in that you could add 9 to any 2 bracelets and it wouldn't effect the digital root.
>Damn that dude's probably going to get stabbed for his bracelet
>5 door closes
I always wanted Junpei to go back and pick it up but of course he never did.

Actually through the first half of the game I didn't even know if the bracelets still worked even after they were removed, as I don't think that was explained. Only how to take them off, not if they worked afterward.

>>324103165
It's not wrong

https://youtu.be/pdg_jkK2Byo?t=44s

That fucking music cue made everybody flip the fuck out. God damn I cannot wait for this.

>>324102219
Fuck the color system. The number system for the doors in 999 was better but I guess they had to change it up in some way.

>>324103450
Back when I was 10, there was a news article about checking basic addition math by "casting out nines" which was just the same thing. So I already knew about it.

>>324103450

They would kinda have to work, they would have been fucked otherwise playing the game.

>>324103450
>Actually through the first half of the game I didn't even know if the bracelets still worked even after they were removed, as I don't think that was explained
It wasn't mentioned in the letter from zero, so most of the characters assumed you couldn't, like when Clover thinks she has narrowed down the combinations of bracelets to just a few. In that instance she doesn't include the number 9 at all.

>>324102198
Either it was a play or we can use VLR explanation that desitions in the future change the past events.

>>324103283
Thanks man

>>324102663

Funny thing that when you go down that timeline of the bad end Akane keeps complaining about her fever, which is her dying in the past from being burnt alive, kind of giving you a hint you are going down the wrong path.

>>324103648
Not necessarily, from what I remember no matter what ending was being followed, there was always a combination of people still alive to make it out of the 9 door.

>>324102926
Yes, look it up. >>324087802

>>324103796
This creeped me the fuck out when I realized it.

Like, at first I asumed she was feeling the Back to the future kind of sickess that stings you when you're being erased from existance, but then I realized she literally gets hot because she's burning alive.

These game can be really creepy when they want to.

>>324102198
She never dies. When they were playing the game, she was saved. The whole nonary game in 999 was setting up the situation so that they could make sure it ended up happening and she would be saved. So if future you went back in time to give you a $20, at some point in your future you'd need to go back in time to give yourself that $20

>>324103054
Don't remember

Here is something else to consider about these games:

None of it really matters. All the bad ends fully exist and there is only one good end. Even if you do stop the disaster from happening in the next game that will just be for that timeline since to even get to that the disaster had to have happened for you to do all the time traveling stuff to be able to prevent it. Not to mention that there already exists tons of timelines where it didn't happen for some other reason. So all you are doing is tying to add one more "good" timeline to an infinite number of possible timelines that already do happen

>>324087802
Am I the only one dissapointed that this time we know a lot of the participants?
>Sigma
>Phi
>Luna's inspiration
>Dio's brother

And I know I'm forgetting someone.

>>324083327

What plot points will be recycled for Zero Time Dilemma?

We're already at Blick Winkel, what else

>>324104130

You think Akane would be doing all this if, in her millions of mental years experiencing timelines, she found a single one where Radical-6 didn't escape?

>>324104082
>So if future you went back in time to give you a $20, at some point in your future you'd need to go back in time to give yourself that $20

This is an excellent way to put it. It's basically like making sure you don't cause a paradox.

>>324104082
Best example I can think of this was in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.
>Aw man the door's locked
>Wait! Just remember, when this is all over, to go back in time, take your Dad's keys and put them...uh...behind this sign!
>Okay!
>closes eyes
>they check behind the sign
>keys are right there
>Awesome! just remember to put them back or we'll be screwed

Best scene in the movie.

>>324104130
I know somebody brought this up in VLR and got counter argumented somehow but right now I can't remember.

>>324103796

That was kind of a dumb plot thing that made me think that the writer didn't actually fully understand how well certain things fit together. The timeline you are in at the very start of the game is one where Akane did not die because she saw you complete the game from the past, along with all the other "bad ends". She never gets any closer to dying in the past in the entire game since the fact that she is alive then and there, and set up that game means that she couldn't have died in the past of the current time you are living it.

>>324104261
Junpei is a participant as well. I feel the same way, because at the very least we directly know three participants, which removes most of the mystery of whether they're huge dicks or not.

>>324104130
Yeah, yeah, bikers die. Who cares?

If you are one of the people who can transfer their memories into other timelines, then you shouldn't care. You'll end up in a good timeline, eventually.

>>324104261

We're getting a dog participant apparently.

But as for those, I don't really see a problem. Phi is a mystery, we know next to nothing about Old Sigma other than that he likes to talk about termites, who knows what the deal with Diana is, and for all we know this Left could be completely different.

>>324104281
I'm expecting Uchi to make the 3rd game to really happen at 2 separate facilities 9 years apart. Kind of the same shit he did with Ever17

>>324104261
Junpei was confirmed to be a participant somewhere.

I dont think I mind. even though we know its sigma, its space pirate sigmas mind so he could seemingly act a lot different. Lunas inspiration could be the complete opposite of Luna, we really don't know. I think the only person that will be exactly the same is Phi, and even then, all we know about her is that shes got mind powers and she aint superman

>>324104429
I believe it's Tenmyouji's biker analogy you're thinking of

>>324104356

Probably, because we wouldn't have a game without it. I mean what else would she do with her power and knowledge?

>>324104621
But he already used that in 999 w/. akane

>>324102887
>but it wad fun documenting it all.
This.
I do this whenever it seems applicable in a puzzle game. I know it made my experience playing Riven many times more enjoyable.

>>324104621
There has to be some sort of outside the facility type of thing simply because its been confirmed we are getting answers on a lot of shit that really couldn't be explained or learned about from inside. like what happens to most of 999s cast afterwards and what not. whatever does happen, it will be interesting in the least

>>324104839
Well shit, you are right. Never mind then.

>tfw no prequel in which you take part in the original nonary game.

>>324104598
I can't wait to see the dog being ? or something like that.

>>324104806

The whole point of VLR and ZTD is creating that timeline, because it doesn't exist yet and takes the experience of Sigma, Phi and the player to accomplish moving on to point E instead of just moving on to point D where the world is fucked. That we can believe it into being, because as of yet it doesn't exist.

>>324104686
She's also not a brahman

>>324105042
whoever is the main character will be ? because ? is you

>>324105019
Wouldn't that just be 999 with different characters

>>324104598
I hope they go the Silent Hill 2 route and have the dog be the mastermind behind Radical 6 and current Nonary game in at least one of the routes.

>>324105194
Pretty much, and without the murders.

>>324104356
>>324105094

I'm just waiting for the reason behind that being that she can't find another timeline where it didn't get out because it only got out in timelines where she was alive, because it is caused by the Junpei that saved her/or the Junpei that she pulled the code from in 999.

>>324105150
>tfw you're the dog

>>324105194
Ya basically. Might be better to see it unfold as strictly a VN though.

I'd rather see some sort of anime adaptation of 999 though, Depending how it was done, it could be really interesting.

But I'm not going to hold my breath on that.
