There are timelines that exist without one or both of them since they died. It's a fact that they have already died many, many time. So, you cannot "let" them die since they have already done so. What a stupid question.

>>151271966
Vita is the best platform for portability. Now go play it. Right now. Zero's premise is a gigantic spoiler for the original.

I wouldn't be able to save either of them.

That's assuming you don't get killed in the 10 next seconds.

PC. Or if you cannot ps3.

I have S;G on PC, PS3 and vita and zero on pc, ps4 and vita and while it IS nice to have it "on the move" I still like it a lot more on a big screen, so for the original one, Pc>ps3>vita if you're not moving constantly.

For Zero I'd say PC=PS4>Vita.
If you are not constantly on the move there's no real point for the vita one, although, let's be clear, it still works very well.

Mayuri. She didn't serve one ounce of purpose other than to be "motivational support". She shouldn't stayed dead after episode 13.

>>151272089
Gamma Okabe probably pulled a lot of string because of his knowledge of time machines and bent space time to his will.
Rounders are otherwise literal garbage you should've seen this in the novel.

If you're taking the official release, I think so

>>151272286
You can't play it in bed or any other place you might want to read a book. Also, that wrapping problem is only in the Steam and Vita versions. And it's only for texts, which are still pretty readable.
>>151272213
Exactly the same.

I simply use the Vita or my tablet like a book.
Though the latter miss some touch inputs.
And I do like having the physical edition for the cover and trophies. Currently waiting for CoZ for the definitive version though

I'd let Kurisu die, because dang it I can't just sit here and let my childhood friend keep dying and also if we do nothing won't we just end up captured by SERN then Kurisu gets enslaved to make a time machine and I become a freedom fighter and my right hand never even gets to see his daughter grow up...

Like, there's no way of knowing that the Beta Worldline would be terrible too until I got there, so ultimately, I would have to keep going.

Can I finish Vega and Altair + Milky-way crossing in 4 hours? I won't be back home for a month so I want to finish the game before leaving.

>>151274362
Yes
Also just go for Milky Way directly
The only difference between them is that Milky has an after credits scene

>>151274426
Is it actually possible to skip through Vega and Altair (or just the Mayuri ED part)? I thought you had to play it before reaching Milky-way?

>>151274672
Dunno since I had a save before the Gehenna choice
I did vega first and then enjoyed the 15 minutes of holding down the skip text key to get a short aftercredits scene

>>151274749
Ouh okay.
I wonder why they did it that way if there isn't even a way to get True ED without going through Vega and Altair first.

>>151274672
nope, as far as I know you can't.

>>151273258
>>151273335
>>151273504
Great tastes.
Also well she IS incredibly close to Okabe in the future, as milky way shows. It would be nice to see a steins;gate world line with her knowing everyone else later too.

>>151274362
depends of how fast you read. I hope you have already finished Promised then though.

To be fair it would be a bit mean toward the S;G cast, time machine aside since it's mainly used to fix the far future most of the time they're quite less broken than gigalomaniax.
And robotics;note gets it even worse.

But it's a pretty nice idea, I hope they will REALLY use the fact that it's the "same world" one day at least, one way or another. Right now it's mainly for fanservice or cameos, having a REAL link would be great.

God, Mayuri's voice in yasashii yuugure is just heavenly. I'm not even a Mayushii fan but her voice in this one sure is something.
Wel, to be more accurate, almost all character songs are awesome; Suzu's and Makise's are great too (and Okabe's one has a little Queen vibe)

Okabe loved Mayuri. He was beyond awkward with her though.
Kurisu took the initiative, something that Mayuri never did.

If Kurisu had never appeared, Okabe would end with Mayuri 100% of the time.

Would he do it for his best bro? He did it for the hoes.

>>151279005
I'm not so sure about that, it might be platonic love/ brother-sister love depending on route. One thing for sure though, Steins;Gate Okabe is always leaning toward the latter. They've been like for 10 years already and Okabe might be too comfortable with that relationship to moving further, he might not want to either unless Mayuri actively push for it.

>>151279075
That would be a harem end, since no one would get cucked.
Except Maho, Maho is forever cucked in all world lines.

>>151279185
My man, even the gay guy is more active that Mayuri. Autism-chan has to step her game the fuck up.

>>151273504
Did she fell in love with him? I haven't played the game. It sounds unlikely, she is older, smarter and more mature than he is

>>151275496
I think there is an after story where she meets the lab, I'm not sure.

>>151279149
He probably would. Fucking Steins Gate is a feelercoaster that ruins everything and noone can be happy.

>>151279149
Okabe, sadly, is a man who prefers the personal to the national or planetary stages, so he absolutely would. Probably would just be a Steins;Gate rerun where he escapes to Delta instead.

>>151278545
Together or not, since it was certainly platonic, they were at the very least EXTREMELY close, and it's pretty much the only thing we saw in the true ending,with the hug and the whole "I'll wait for you" separated from everyone else on-screen. The point is that Kurisu is dead, couple or not, he still has a Kurisu 2.0 with him now Granted given when it took place a Mayuri scene at this moment would have been impossible but when it comes to on-screen scene it's still Maho who monopolize Okabe during the true end despite her being a fairly new character. Poor Mayuri.

>>151279149
Of course he would, Okabe loves his friends.
> ywn have friend as loyal as Okabe or Daru

>>151278543
Which makes it even better because his face is just OBVIOUSLY eviil but he's jut so funny you want to forget it and think it will not happen.

>>151279185
Mayuri's death made him realize how important she was for him. The Mayuri ending is basically Okabe picking the most important person for him.

>Did she fell in love with him? I haven't played the game. It sounds unlikely, she is older, smarter and more mature than he is
Yeah. She has a soft spot for his dark and tormented path, she wants to help him and ends up falling in love with him. Also, non chuuni Okabe is fucking cute, can't blame Maho.

>>151279359
So Kurisu fell in love with Kyoma, and Maho fell in love with Okabe. What can we even make of that?

>>151279249
It's implied very heavily in some endings and they are awfully close in the end, even if it is probably one-sided for Okabe because Kurisu (although after 15 years who knows, especially since "THIS Okabe" wil never see Kurisu again, but I'll still tend toward the "platonic" aspect of it)

But as for Maho it's really heavily implied quite often even by the bad guy himself in the bad end.

And maturity was never a problem in S;G ; see Kurisu.And she's not 10 years older neither.

>>151279423
Kurisu fell in love with Okabe too. She knew what was bullshit and what was his true intentions... she liked gap moe, I'm sure.
Mayuri is the one that tells you she loves Kyouma and his antics and the retarded chuuni talk. She also loves non chuuni Okabe too.

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to get into this Anime?

I watched the first three episodes, but couldn't watch anymore due to the slow pacing, I could already tell half the anime would be filler episodes and scenes. I also felt that they tried to make the plot mysterious, but it came across as nothing much happening to me.

Is it worth rewatching and sticking it out for a few more episodes?

>>151279323
Daru was really awesome in this game with it comes to supporting him. Of course, it's true for all of the characters but since aru got the most scene and was shown as not being able to be serious most of the time in S;G it's especially obvious with him. 0 really improved his character a LOT in quite a lot of endings.

>>151275496
in an untranslated drama CD, I think. At least that what I've read but I don't kno which one, if I find it I'll probably listen to it some day.

The SoL and fluffy shit is buildup for the suffering later. Just stick through it and it'll be worth it. If you skip directly to the fucked up shit, it won't have as much of an impact as in if you hadn't.

>>151279771
How the hell is Kyoma like her dick father?

>>151279544
If you aren't invested in the cast then you most likely won't be invested in their suffering either.

>>151279544
Fillers are basically not fillers. that's about it. It's her to give a sense of "reality" to the characters, to in order to slap you HARD when thigns get real. Even according to themselves, 5b's worlds were always about creating a world you can relate to, which makes the shitstorm even more cruel afterward. So the "nothing happening" is basically something happening in itself and is here for a reason; skipping it would change the tone when it gets serious. The story is about these "normal people" with "nothing happening" whose life get screwed. That's the point.
Also ep3 is before the first D-mails. The first ones should come soon. It's not action-filled, but things will be happening.

Don't worry, it doesn't matter how many attractors there are with that.
After all, only one world is real. The rest are possibilities, what-ifs, and nothing more. They literally don't matter besides serving as a path to the current world line.

>>151283007
It still shows just how much the world seems to hate her though. As if dying every single time wasn't enough.

>>151283118
Since Okabe treasures her so much, that might not even matter. The guy is an absolute maddo saitentisto.
Though yeah, that won't really help her in her love troubles. A pity, I actually like her more than Kurisu. But, well, I can't pick her ending in S;G because literally everybody else suffers in that one.
And Delta can't exist as long as S;G does.

>>151279544

If the characters and juxtaposition of something bigger with comfortable every day life didn't pull you in, then you probably shouldn't bother watching.

Just look at her, she is ready to tutturu shit up

>>151284497
If we're talking about the OP as a whole then Hacking = Skyclad >= Amadeus, it's a close match. Despite using mostly still shots, they made a slick ass style out of editing still shots for Skyclad OP. Hacking is fully animated and stylish as well but it doesn't feel as cool as Skyclad for some reasons? I guess because Skyclad matches the rhythms of the song with its sequences really fucking well, that and Hacking has more colors in the OP compare to the rather simplistic Skyclad (also reason why the start and middle segment of Skyclad OP is the best for me). Then Amadeus came in which is a nice hybrid of both the former but too many still potraits in anime style is a minus.

>>151285721
People hate her but I appreciate how she always tries to make people happy despite shit occuring to her or anyone.

>>151286268
This.
It's no wonder he wanted a time machine in the end.

>>151286617
I guess I have a problem since I found the idea kind of cool and fun.

Also, >>151286235
I'd say Amadeus but not for the same reasons. Given how Kurisu was, the fact that Amadeus has reading steiner, and since Amadeus has awareness, probably Kurisu as a whole (not JUST amadeus but amadeus too) because of how she saww what she did screwing the whole world over and over again.

I remember reading somewhere that in Robotics;Notes it's implied that the characters from C;H and S;G formed a Committee-resistance group with this guy as the leader.

It'd be interesting if they made the next Science;Adventure based on that or how the two groups came together, but at the same time I wouldn't expect much considering how most crossovers tend to be shit.

No no, it was a metaphor, it was a comparison with my "illusions" post above
Everyone who ( S;G0 spoilers )who didn't have a perfect RS like Okabe remembers the other wordlines as vivid dreams
>>151288314
Not as far as I know

>>151289077
I don't remember that at all, but I'm curious.
Yes. The main problem would also be te theme: each KagaAdv works well within its theme but mergin all of them together would be something REALLY hard to follow, and Steins was already hard to follow to begin with.

I'm a little disappointed in robotics; not by the VN and show itself but it was probably the most "explicit" of the serie when it comes to a "big bad", so much potential wasted. I still love it though.

>>151288314
Not at all. It still feels the same just like most KagaAdv games (they have their own style so to say) but it's a pretty different theme which isn't directly related.

>>151289077
>I wouldn't expect much considering how most crossovers tend to be shit
That's why I'd rather have another Chaos series that directly deals with the Committee, instead of crossovers.

>>151271939
It's the Bilderberg Group, I'm calling it now.

>>151289321
Light ones like Nae who was in robotics;note would be great, though.

>>151288314
I don't think it even needs explaining.

iirc in the original S;G they touch on it being a thing everyone has, it's just the most prominent in Okabe. Some other characters in S;G show cases of it too like the whole Faris D-Mail thing.

Just chalk it up as "natural talent" I guess.

>>151289785
I tend to link it to a big bang/big crunch theory thing because of the scenes in Okabe's dreams in S;G and a lot of the things Kurisu says in the movie, ot to mention the lyrics of a lot of ops, like Amadeus and its "gate of zero". you could sum it up as being gifted, but it's funny to see that they still kept enough doors open left and right to be able to explain it somewhere if they want a sequel one day, there's enough weird things that can obviously be used in it to use them if they want to milk the franchise.

Why did he have to undo all the changes he did to prevent Mayushi's death?

>Leskinen suddenly learns fluent Japanese

Thats pretty lazy desu

>>151290948
Attractor field. Basically something that say that "in THIS orld, this will happen". So while he was in this "world" Mayshii will always die no matter wwhat except if he brings the world line "far enough" from its original state.

Don't read the spoilered bit if you didn't finish the anime, it could spoil you;

the biggest thing I've alwways wondered is whether the attractor fields are "natural laws", natural laws linked to the observer or if they're just linked to the observer (him), period, given what happened with Kurisu. It seems to imply that the same thing could have worked with Mayuri, but of course it's way easier to do with Kurisu than with Mayuri because in the alpha world line Sern and other things were after them, making a good "fakeout" harder compared to Kurisu. but if it's mainly linked to the observer observing the world line, it could have worked with Mayuri, too.

>>151291115
>no more "japanese shama girls" because of this

that was really cruel, Mages.

>>151291205
>something that say that "in THIS orld, this will happen"
I get that, but why did he have to undo the changes? Couldn't he just change other things until he got to a world where she didn't have to die?

>>151291265
He could, but it's like playing russian roulette. There's the risk of the next world line being even worse than this one by far, which is why he dedided to take it easy when it comes to changing the past. Since you cannot know what you will change because of the butterfly effect, AND with attractors messing with everything too you bring the risk of makinng thinngs worse without being able to fix what you wanted to.

>>151291265
His original goal was to get back to the beta field, and to do that he would need to gain the IBN 1500 again in order to delete the email from Echelen's database. All the D-mails he sent sent the IBN out of their hands, and thus they would need to undo them to gain it.

>>151291265
He wouldn't be able to predict what other changes would do. They could trap him in a world without a time leap machine where absolutely everybody dies, for example.
One of the side endings to S;G, in fact, makes use of this. Instead of preventing Faris' dad from being saved he decides to try out a different way, and as the result he ends up in a world where nobody from the Lab knows him, he plays card games professionally and Faris is his lover.

On one hand, alpha Suzuha. On the other hand, beta Moeka.

Can't choose, help me!

Not that Beta Suzuha isn't better than her alpha one, she's better if still very far from perfect but alpha Suzuha is just the best and cutest Suzu.

>>151292595
I have never witnessed better taste in these threads.

>>151292669
One of the few scenes where I really liked Moeka when she was herself and not just because she was doing some badass tricks. If she was like that all the time, maybe I'd like the character.

In the end, it's still Maho>Faris>Moeka though but the competition is unfair.

Faris is usually great in her scenes, too bad she has so few good ones.

>>151292724
I'll admit that you Meokafags are a bit more understandable right now and people saying that Moeka is just as bad now compared to S;G are just ot honest. I still think she's worst girl though, but there's definitely hope, they just give her the short end of the stick each time they need a "main character-bad guy" so she cannot really shine. I'm everything but a Moekafag but even I find this a waste.

I think one of the major intentions of the author was to note that Rounder field agents aren't bad people, but the leash (noose) is already tight around their neck so choice is impossible.
(Rounder management are cutthroat villains to the core, though.)

>>151292996
That's pretty clear for a while, just look at Mr Braun, his charater has the same problem, he's probably just hated less because he didn't kill Mayuri by himself
But body aside (Moeka's REALLY not my type,since I'm a Mahofag I think it's pretty easy to understand why) if we are just talking about personnality, I still think that Moeka's biggest problem is that she has screen time... but it's always divided between, let's say, her "bitch mode" and her "natural mode". it gives her WAY, WAY less time to be appreciated for what she is.
She has some time like that in 0, and a whole ending, but it's hard to compare it to others that never had this problem. While I agree with what you say, there is still a very heavy shortage of "natural Moeka", and in SG a lot of it was only focused on her worst traits like her hyper-dependency, which makes her pitiable but isn't enough compared to what they do to most of the cast.

I really think that if she was like she is in Twin during a WHOLE GAME, and also during the important parts where she's usually left out (like in promised), she would have way, way more potential, with her personality alone without having her "token bad guy" side sapping half of her screen time.

Reportedly 5pb. wanted to have Moeka in a bigger, friendlier role but they found the VN ended up without a major villain, so they made her more distant and eerie to serve that role better. Her scenes of being more human or kind were shifted to Phenogram and Darling.
I think her Phenogram route is truly excellent but I am clearly biased.

>>151293412
I wasn't even thinking about this part of implication, just about the overall look, but yeah, that's pretty attractive too

the way Huke made the red on her tie bleed onto the white was a really nice touch. It's a constant reminder that her death was the start of it all.

I know someone with PTSD due to similar circumstances. They're a fan of steins;gate but I'm afraid if they get into zero it might literally trigger them somehow

I am confused about something, just finished episode 16 of the anime. I am under the impression that Mr. Braun in the Alpha World Line always knew the Suzuha who goes into the past. For Suzuha to go to the past and then alter Braun's course of life which causes him to then take care of her, that must have caused a world line switch.

Is there an Alpha World Line somewhere where Braun never met Suzuha? Certainly there must have been an "original" line where Suzuha had never gone back in time to 1975 for the first time, right? So did Okabe just switch to a world line that already had 1975 Suzuha? I know Suzuha going back in time and helping Braun is part of the reason Braun helped young Suzuha, so I'm just confused about why they Okabe was somehow always in a world line where Suzuha had already gone back. What about the one where Suzuha goes back for the first time?

Sorry if this question is confusing. It's late and time travel is a clusterfuck

>>151297433
>Certainly there must have been an "original" line where Suzuha had never gone back in time to 1975 for the first time, right?
No. Past, present, and future are all structured together in Steins;Gate. A Suzuha would just appear in 1975 before ever being born, because she will invariably be born and time travel back, convergence will guarantee it. There are no "original" world lines, the entirety of the timeline is forged in one go.
>So did Okabe just switch to a world line that already had 1975 Suzuha?
Yes. She does in all the Alpha world lines that we see. Not always the same circumstances, though.

No. The Alpha worldline can't exist without Suzuha travelling back to 1975.

Because past, present and future are all instantaneously reconstructed when there's a worldline shift.

>>151297599

in other words, the worldlines the series is taking place is all suzuha's fault.

>>151297808
No, it's Okabe's fault. The world line shifts when ECHELON detects a timeshifted email in 2010, even though time travel has been utilized for 35 years, because it begins a causal chain of events.

>I sure do love licking a girl's beans!
What did he mean by this?

>>151297599
So there was never a 1975 where Suzuha was not there in the Alpha range? I suppose that clears up my head quite a bit. While I think this has one of the best time travel explanations of anything I've watched or read, I think it's impossible to do time travel in a story without some confusing bits or some suspension of disbelief with some of the explanations.

Some of this seems paradoxical, like I imagine the time machine and the divergence meter are probably never built without having them given to the characters to begin with.

Another question for you, if you don't mind.

Okabe in say, line 1, sends a D-Mail to the past, and as a result, he shifts world lines to line 2 and so does everyone else. However, for Suzuha to have been present in line 1, that same Okabe who sent the d-mail must have gone on and formed a resistance group and Daru must have built the time machine.

In that situation, what happens to that theoretical Okabe we never get to see in line 1 that somehow causes him to still continue on and form the resistance group? He sends a D-Mail, and then what? He goes "oh, nothing happened"? I'm confused how the future in that line still happened if they switched world lines afterwards.

If they're in the past, they will invariably be sent to the past. Paradoxes are impossible due to convergence. If someone were to try and kill Suzuha to prevent her from traveling to the past, they would fail.

There is only one world line. That Okabe immediately perceives the shift through Reading Steiner. There is no "Okabe left behind" nor any "Okabe overwritten". There's only one world, what possibilities are manifested depends on divergence frequency. This is a critical and common misunderstanding of S;G's metaphysics; it is not multiple-worlds.

They were built in the future.

>I'm confused how the future in that line still happened if they switched world lines afterwards.

It's because everything is restructured simultaneously. It's absolutely impossible for any alpha line to exist without Okabe inventing the divergence meter, Suzu travelling back to 1975, Makise Kurisu getting abducted by SERN etc.

>>151298404
>>151298368
See, that seems strange to me. In that world line, it already says Okabe is going to send a D-Mail. Yet, the future of the world line past the D-Mail still functions independently even though that future will never actually be reached.

Although, I have always thought that it sounds very reasonable (and I'm no scientist, so I am obviously very likely to be wrong) for time to function similarly to space and everything to exist at once, just humans travel through time a certain way, so perhaps thinking of it like that makes it easier.

>>151298404
So Okabe traveling back to find Mayuri at the end of 0 only works because past Okabe isn't done with his plan yet and gets erased afterwards?

>>151298453
No. A stray bullet or a piece of a building, or even a star would fall on her to force her death. She is a victim of causality, which is the opposite of Kurisu who is a cause of divergence.

Downloaded gamma disk, what should i expect?

>>151298490
But how were they built in the first place? I get what you mean, and it all seems to fit in the world's rules, but I genuinely am not a big fan of the world's rules, and I see it as a writing problem. Explaining away being able to build something because that something was sent to the past and that allowed you to build it--by saying everything exists at the same time or everything is done simultaneously, to me, is not an explanation I'm satisfied with. In Steins;Gate, it's not that the future cannot exist without the present, but that the future cannot exist without itself, which is nonsense to me. If in the future, the time machine was never sent back, then it would never have been built. For the future to determine the future, the explanation they give to me is just not satisfactory. It works within the logic of their own world, but I don't like it and it feels to me like a cop-out.

That being said, I'm actually liking it all quite a bit so far, I just am not a fan of some of the explanations.

>>151298511
It worked because he left before they sent the video mail

>>151298658
It's a problem with almost all stories that use time travel to the past, it's almost unavoidable to have it build on paradoxes

>>151298511
I'm also confused by this. Due to unfortunate spoilers, I know Okabe ends up in some sort of ideal world at the end of it all. Meanwhile, he sends a different version of himself on a mission to cause the loop to go on forever. So let's call these Future Okabe and Past Okabe.

Past Okabe is the Okabe we view throughout the entire show/VN. Future Okabe is the Okabe who has finished the loop and is living in an ideal scenario.

Past Okabe is clearly functioning in an existent world line. Therefore, Future Okabe's world line must not exist, then, with this logic, and then what, he's just wiped from existence? So what's the point of it all? Or are there two world lines existing at the same time? This seems contrary to the explanations to me.

>>151298658
>But how were they built in the first place?
By being built in the future by engineers (Barrel Titor and Okabe).
> the future cannot exist without itself, which is nonsense to me
Causal loops are only nonsensical from a physical perspective, it is not a true paradox. Looking at it from the fifth dimension and it mathematically works out fine. In any case, convergence would substitute coincidence and happenstance to make the same thing happen anyway, even if it were totally impeded somehow.

>>151298658
>If in the future, the time machine was never sent back, then it would never have been built.
The way that works is that the universe isn't comprised of only one possible timeline. When new matter or information is sent back to the past and it has a tangible effect on the world, divergence is shifted slightly. Because of this, it's impossible to actually get into a paradoxical loop. When Suzu travelled back in her time machine she ended up in a slightly different worldline to that which she came from.

>It works within the logic of their own world
Which is exactly what it has to do and has succeeded in doing. The SciAdv universe is fundamentally different to our own.

>>151298866
>>151298898
Right, I applaud Steins;Gate for not contradicting themselves--but that doesn't mean I have to applaud the explanations to begin with. There are lots of anime that do not contradict themselves but have ideas that I don't like. This is one of them. But I do like how they didn't contradict themselves, that is something rarely seen in time travel fiction.

>>151298997
I'm not really sure what you want then. Steins;Gate is internally consistent and takes place in a universe with a different set of physical laws to our own. What makes sense in that universe wouldn't necessarily do so if you were to try and relate it to reality.

>>151299070
I'm not sure what you mean, "what do I want". I just find that explanation to be a bit lazy, at least to me. It's an easy solve for any confusion but I don't think it's a good one.

Clannad, which is my favourite visual novel and After Story is my favourite anime, in the visual novel specifically is very clear and non-contradictory with how the light orbs work and everything. But I don't like it because I think it's a cop-out at the ending, and also seems to be, to me, a lazy explanation for why you are repeating the game over and over. In contrast, I think Little Busters! had a very good explanation for how everything worked. Even though both VN's explanations were free from contradictions and I liked both of them, I prefer Little Busters! explanation more than Clannad's, even though I prefer Clannad to Little Busters!. I am just not a fan of the explanation for eliminating time travel paradoxes in Steins;Gate.

>>151299203
But why though? How is it lazy in your opinion?

>>151299229
It's pretty complicated to put into my thoughts why I find it to be lazy. I just think the explanation is too easy. Essentially, their answer to "what came first, the chicken or the egg?" is "both". To me, it feels like a cop-out. It feels like they didn't want to get into all of that time travel crap, and so ended up just doing an easy explanation, one that the complexities of could only be truly, thoroughly understood through some 4 dimensional rationality that neither us nor the creators have the ability of doing.

I can't say for sure what I'd prefer, but I just feel as though it was a very easy explanation that fixed any issues for them simply.

One thing that is very strange to me as well, is if Okabe sends a D-Mail, which say, causes him to buy the lotto 6 as it did before, then the world line changes. As a result, unlike the previous chicken and egg scenario, in this scenario there is no chicken at all. Okabe's decision to buy a lotto 6 is not caused by anything within that world line, but by a previous world line that was erased. It literally has no causality at all. At least a borderline paradoxical loop has causality within its own dimension.

>>151298789
I think you're confusing between 0 Okarin and Steins Gate Okarin.

0 Okarin didn't live in an ideal scenario and as soon as the D-Mail is sent, he would cease to exist and the memory goes to our PoV's Okarin.

>>151300007
No I mean Steins Gate Okabe ended up in an ideal scenario, correct?

But he also started another Okabe having a loop who would also end up in said scenario.

Do both Okabes function at the same time? Are there two world lines running at once?

>I just think the explanation is too easy.
Really? I think it's remarkably clever in it's simplicity. The fact that they didn't bog themselves down in needless rules and fashioned a system that can't violate itself is great in my opinion.

>Okabe's decision to buy a lotto 6 is not caused by anything within that world line
That "new" worldline can only exist if that D-mail has been sent to his phone. That message is in fact a part of that worldline.

>>151300065
Right but the message has no causality in itself. It just is.

>>151300050
There's only one world and there's no time loops at the end of the story. Read on.

>>151300135
Sure it does. It was a sent from a future that is no longer possible.

>>151300177
What? Doesn't Okabe get a past version of himself to do the exact things he just did throughout the story? So isn't that a loop? I'll just keep going and maybe it'll make sense at the end.

>>151300226
Then there's no actual causality. You can't have a cause that's from a theoretical reality that didn't exist and in that dimension, never existed.

>>151300282
You can if you time-travel my man. If you change the past, then the present must change to accommodate that change. Suzu in her time machine does the same thing.

>>151300228
He does that before the final world line alteration, after which it is negated in the restructured world.

>>151298452

That last one doesn't even make sense. They don't do the fucking illustrations.

Never claimed that all of it is Pqubes fault

It's only possible because you have the alternate possible configurations available. If Steins;Gate took place in a world where there was only one possible world, then you'd be right to say that the mechanics make no sense.

>>151300282
It is causal though, just not in the usual sense of the word. In order for the Universe to be in a certain state/worldline, it has to have been in a certain other state beforehand.

I gave in to fate. I've given up on my "dreams" that were initially as nebulous and utterly fake as Steins;Gate after encountering difficult life circumstances that made me realize how much I needed something like Steins;Gate to exist. Granted, Okabe's gone through far deeper hells than I have so I'd say he's a better man than me there. The parallels resonated with me anyway.

One line the anime excluded from the VN was a side scene where Okabe encourages Moeka after they meet for the second or third time in a side street. He tells her that so long as she has her Steins;Gate, she can do anything. I guess for someone who never had any dreams or self-worth, something like that would matter a lot.

>>151299752

Realistically speaking, the universe or our universe at least tends to order itself in a way that prevents causality from being violated. If it didn't, we'd be living in a much more chaotic world. The explanations for how things happen in science tend to be simple on the whole with the smaller mechanisms that make them work being more complex. I don't think it's lazy. I think it's far closer to reality than other series or settings that try to come up with extremely complex rules to answer every possibility and inevitably failing to do so.
