>Phi is once again an important character and she has a big secret dangling between her legs
Intriguing...
>>331774276
Why was Q bullshitting him?
>>331774276
>big secret dandling berween her legs
Okay what the fuck, who the fuck said that ?
>>331776697
OKAY I KNOW NOW
GUYS WHATS IF
WHAT IF DIANA IS SIGMAAND PHI'SDAUGHTER ?
>>331776468
He's a damn brat.
>>331776846
Uchikoshi confirmed that Sigma and Phi aren't a couple in the VLR Q&A.
>>331777876
I always understood that as they can't be together because something bas will happen.
>>331777876
My pet theory is Phi is indeed Sigma and Diana's daughter from the future. Explaining the orange eyebrows as well as the fact that Sigma and Phi can't be a couple.
>>331778282
Still doesn't explain why Phi can timetravel in body. If only her mind can timetravel how come she has Sigma's eyes and Diana's eyebrow colors?
>>331778392
...Maybe the secret dangling between her legs can provide us with some answers.
>>331778476
SHE ISN'T SANTA FOR FUCK'S SAKE KILL YOURSELF ALREADY
>>331778282
Well, Akane and Brother can both time jump with their bodies, and apparantly Akane found a way for Clover AND Alice to jump between timelines with their body too.
If you're asking "why" the answer is invariably "because Uchi is batshit insane"
Any have the fan art of Junpei and Ace playing Guess Who? That shit kills me.
>>331778476
Plot twist: his penis is the most powerful thing in the universe.
>>331778671
How do we know that akane can body timetravel?
>>331780023
Not that guy, but it was mentioned in the VLR Q&A. Also, if Phi is from the future, it would explain Akane's confidence in being able to send Clover and Alice back, because she already knows a method from Phi.
Why do people hate Diana's face again? I'm just not seeing it.
>>331782736
Her eyes are droopy and make her look... slow. It's more obvious in the trailer.
>>331774276
Daily reminder that Eric won the Best Boy award.
>>331780023
think about it, in 999 in the timelines that aren't the true end, she's still there while she isn't supposed to exist in that universe. Santa's story about her sister dying, and seven amnesia are all true, just in the true end timeline they aren't.
>>331783094
Every single Akana can see every single timeline
So even if Akane A lives in a timeline where Junpei doesn't solve the sudoku she can also watch the true ending one where Junpei solves the sudoku, saving herself in timeline A,ture end, and every single timeline where Akana was born with esper powers and had to solve the sudoku
>>331783402
it doesn't work like that, in the timelines where the true ending doesn't happen, Akane can't be there.
>>331778546He never said he's Santa you fucking moron.
>>331783557
999 is actually a single timeline with multiple branches, and each branch is an ending.
For Akane to survive, she needs to witness the True End branch, and the True End branch needs to be created by Akane sending info about what happened in the Safe End branch to Jumpy
So the Akane that survives "lived" in the Safe end timeline, which she herself changed to the True End by sending Jumpy info that made him reach he incinerator and solve the sudoku
>>331776697
some anon last week, probably OP who is trying to make an epic maymay out of it
>>331784615
It's a secret thing of these threads.
bump
What team are you going to be playing as first when the game is released, /v/?
>>331785897
carlos
i think the game makes you go with them for the 1st part anyway but i miss young junpei and akane so much and i want to see how they handle their reactions
>>331785897
Probably Team D. Just to see if I can get the "Canon" bad end first.
>>331785897
D is the most interesting, Q seems like it'll be the least. So Q it is then. Save the best for last.
>>331785897
Team Q, definitely. The power dynamics of the team are pretty interesting, and the team doesn't have any returning cast members.
>>331787112
>Who is Qlover?
>>331787112
You're right, exceptKyle's consciousness is inside Q.
>>331787213
Well, with the amnesia, it really isn't Clover anymore.
Clover's the loyal skeptic in the enneagram, so she really needs a character like Snake or Alice to show her loyalty to or else her character doesn't work.
>>331787379
This is highly probable, butif it is the case I would still find it interesting. The suit of armor put Kyle in a position of power for most of VLR and it'll be nice to see how he reacts being in a vulnerable state.
>>331779789
>>331782901
>No Carlos
Rigged
>>331782901
Sigma one that. Eric was at the bottom.
>>331782901
Phi was so close to win. What a shame.
>>331784437
No, that's not how it works, the author himself said it.
What if Sigma can travel to the consciousness of Kyle due to the fact that he is his clone?
So who do you guys think it's Zero this time? I vote for Left.
>>331791150
What if everyone is a clone and they all die every 90 minutes, with the main twist of the game being that consciousnesses can be transmitted to clone bodies as a way to save people?
I have no understanding of time, where are these daughter claims coming from?
>>331791553Phi not hooking up with Sigma because spoilers Uchi won't reveal, her having orange eyebrows like Diana, and her quote from the Famitsu article was something like "you two, I love you".
>>331791306
I'd like to believe Brother is Zero and THIS directly involved, but I doubt it.
>>331791725
But when and how would that even work?
>>331792174
No idea.
>>331792174
The end of VLR implies that there's a way to go back in time physically so there's that.
>>331792505
Is All-Ice a cryogenically frozen Alice who went back in time?
>play ztd
>first fragment you play takes place at the very end of the flowchart
>the ending of the team you played has practically been spoiled for you but you still want to find out how everything leads up to itHoly shit I want this to happen to me so bad for some reason.
>>331793073
Holy shit, I never thought in that. Maybe you're right.
>>331793826
That's even possible?
Some anon requested it.
>>331794338
>“The characters don’t know where they are in the timeline, and neither does the player. When you complete a segment it goes into the larger decision tree, which tells you where it actually happens in the story. So the idea is, you play a fragment, the fragment plays out, then you go back out to the floating fragment screen and it shows you where the thing you just played fits into the narrative flow. You might start a fragment and see only two characters, but not yet know how the third died. Then you’ll play the earlier fragment later, and learn what happened.”
According to this, it's definitely a possibility.
>>331793073
I'd like it if they tied it up like that.
>>331793826
I like how they're using randomness as a factor for this one. Makes it a bit more interesting and much less stale.
I'm doing some recapping since it's been a while. Can it be said that VLR and ZTD take place concurrently? Since the post-VLR Phi and old man Sigma's consciousnesses swap right BEFORE VLR starts to point A.
Also, in this part of VLR, why is it Akane has no idea what happens at the Mars Mission Test Site if she's a participant in ZTD? Were they brainwashed post-ZTD in this timeline? How can she know that she uses the end of the blade handle to feint a stab towards Sigma 45 years in the future and not recall something that happens in the past even with the brainwashing chemical?
https://youtu.be/nomTtNM2BKA?t=6m24s
>>331795096
Does this tie into the "Results are random" thing from the wiki?
Is it basically Coin Flips decides what happens, eventually you get the other option so people's play throughs are different based off of coin flips?
>>331795324
>Can it be said that VLR and ZTD take place concurrently?
Not at all, they take place at entirely different times that Sigma is experiencing out of order.
>>331793073
All-ice and Alice are too similar, so there's a connection for sure.
>>331793073
That's what I've been thinking ever since VLR's epilogue too.
>>331795324
>Since the post-VLR Phi and old man Sigma's consciousnesses swap right BEFORE VLR starts to point A.
Dr. Klim and Phi swap back to their bodies in 2029, 45 years before VLR.
>How can she know that she uses the end of the blade handle to feint a stab towards Sigma 45 years in the future
I'm assuming that's actually Old Akane in her young body, and that's why she knows that.
>Why is it Akane has no idea what happens at the Mars Mission Test Site if she's a participant in ZTD
Maybe the Akane in ZTD isn't actually June, but Old Akane? I'm not sure if it could work, but it's possible.
>>331793073
I think All-Ice is found on the mars test site, and is how Radical-6 is released.
But that's just because it fits with the curse which they talked about in the first game, just on a massive scale.
>>331794545
Needs an ice cream cone in his hand
>>331795849
But they were all given Avalexur or whatever it's called at the end of VLR
>>331795324
>>331795474
According to that Famitsu article the participants were together for six days before the actual game. VLR took place over a few hours to a day maybe? So it doesn't seem concurrent unless there are Radical 6 shenanigans
>>331796120
Did it say if those six days are included in ZTD as a sort of prologue or something?
Or is it just implied?
So it seems like the game is a coin flip, as far as we've seen
What will it have to do with this box?
It doesn't seem like it's a trust game, or a forced co-operation game from the name
>>331796000
Their future bodies are given Axelavir.
>>331796319
Considering the whole gimmick is CONSTANT AMNESIA, there will probably be lots of flashbacks/remembering things about the other participants that you learned in the first 6 days.
>>331796447
>flashbacks
>implying they aren't actually memories from the future or from alternate timelines passed through the morphogenic field and they actually just arrived to the test site
>>331796582
They will think it's flashbacks
>>331796447
Speaking of which, how will flashbacks even work if ZTD is going to be cinematic?
>>331794545
I'm not that anon, but thanks. Saved.
>>331796772
The same way flashbacks always work, I would imagine.
>>331796120
The sense of dread and apprehension Sigma must've felt was probably crazy.
LUNA
WHERE
>>331796319
It was just a throwaway line, there wasn't any other detail IIRC
>>331797008
Look at the sky.
>>331797072
>>331796853
I know that, but how would the viewer know what they're seeing is a flashback?
Would it be a black and white cinematic, and if it is, how would ZTD initiate one?
Like when a character is telling a story or a theory like how they did with the other games.
>>331795324
>How can she know that she uses the end of the blade handle to feint a stab towards Sigma 45 years in the future and not recall something that happens in the past even with the brainwashing chemical?
She saw the future. That's her specialty.
Akane can't mindjump
>>331776846
I honestly think this is going to be one of Uchi's big twists, especially if you think of it as phi has the ability to throw her subconscious thanks to sigma's genes. However she only has the ability to throw her subconscious back, there should be no way for her to exist before sigma has even conceived her.
>>331797302
Considering the fragments are all gonna be out of order anyways they could do both
>>331785897
I want to see how badly sigma's ptsd is, so I can know whether there are gonna be any laughs in the game or not. If Sigma isn't even slightly humorous I just know I'm gonna have a humor free ride playing ZTD. After him I'll probably check out Q team.
>>331797072
>Luna is moon
>Luna is also on the moon
clever
>>331797758
Yeah Clover is there too.
>>331797758
Luna is based on Diana
Diana is the Roman goddess of the moon
>>331785897
Q is going to be the team that dies the soonest as far as my prediction goes, but is also the one that leads to the penultimate true end so I'll play them
>>331797530
If Phi really is Sigma's daughter and there isn't an immediate flashback to all the pervy things Sigma has said to her(which from her perspective was recent) I would be greatly disappointed.
Complete with old Siggy innocently asking her about her sudden change in mood
>>331798058
>Dr Insidious was making passes at all of the girls the whole time
so much better in context
>>331798275
I wonder how the girls would've reacted if Sigma looked like the hunk he thought he was. Phi and Luna probably would've reacted the same but I'm sure Alice and Clover would've played along more.
>>331795324
The akane in ZTD isn't the akane from 999 and VLR
>>331798275
>Clover: Well, with a big skirt like that it might get kind of dangerous...
>Luna: Oh. If I just hike it up, I think I should be--
>Clover: And, uh, I think there's somebody down on all fours, trying to not look like he's staring up toward the bookshelf...
>Luna: S-Sigma...?

We should immediately then since Sigma and Junpei know what young Akane look like, unless they keep that info to themselves
I could see ZTD Akane being a completely different person just with the same name and Sigma/Junpei never says that out loud because it's self-evident and not relevant, sometimes people just have the same names. The game itself will lead the player on to a point though.

I want to see a switch back to the typical VN style presentation at some point in ZTD.
Not just as a "just because," but maybe for a flashback to 999 or VLR, or some sort of twist that changes the interface.
Just a thought I had.
>>331804969
Like, maybe since we're watching it through ?'s perspective, we see it all cinematic? Then if we switch control over to someone else, it switches back to VN.

Just because Diana feels responsible for releasing the virus doesn't mean she's the villain.
In fact that guarantees it's the opposite.
A villain, belonging to FtS and wanted the virus to be released would say something like "Yes I have succeeded, the world will be purged of the unclean according to your will!, Brother"
Not "It wasn't just 6 people I killed... It was 6 billion."
>>331805331

Diana's dilemma that leads to the 6 billion is probably after she finds out Phi is her and Sigma's daughter.

Wouldn't be the first time something similar has been done. Amagami SS did something similar, just without any time fuckery.

Until I got the true end, I was still convinced that all the fuuuuuture shit and everything about Tenmyouji was a massive red herring.
>>331811298
Yeah, I just realized something. If a new timeline is created, it's very likely Quark would simply never be born. And Junpei wouldn't even know it.

Why do you think he doesn't try to help out with Akane's plan after VLR? 10 bikers and all that. I recall someone mentioning a theory where he actually interferes with the events at the Mars Site to ensure he meets Quark

>>331812398
Thanks anons
>>331810071
Ya I would.
Ya it could work.
>>331812124
But Sigma knows how to make her. If he wants he always could again. Quark will never exist.
>>331812473
Yeah, if he knows, I think that's going to be his 'dilemma'. Live a life with Akane in a world without death and sacrifice Quark, or sacrifice everyone to meet Quark again.
>>331812473
Would ZTD Junpei even be aware of Quark?
I've been under the impression that his ESP was limited specifically to that once instance throughout 999 with younger Akane.

>I recall someone mentioning a theory where he actually interferes with the events at the Mars Site to ensure he meets Quark
Junpei in ZTD doesn't know about Quark.
And he can't know, he doesn't have a way to know the future unlike Sigma Phi or Akane.
>>331812940
Not to mention the whole memory time jumping thing seems to be Sigma and Phi's gimmick. Just because they can do it doesn't mean Junpei can suddenly do it.
>>331812902
Well, with that logic, the people who created Quark still exists too. The only thing that will change is that Junpei won't meet him.
And if they want the corny ending, they can make that Junpei and Akane's child becomes Quark.
What if Junpei is housing Brother's consciousness inside of him in ZTD's timeline, like that one teacher from Punchline?
>>331813236
Well, yeah, but you think the near end of the human race would affect him being born. Like, it's unlikely his parents would meet in this new timeline.
I hope they don't do that. That would be part of the tragedy. Junpei would have to weigh who he cares about more, and let's be honest, it's going to be Akane in the end.
Nice twist if he genuinely gives up on Akane in ZTD, though.
In the VLR Q&A, Uchikoshi hinted that Quark was the actual grandson of someone in 999.
Who could it be?

>>331813072
We have no idea what the extent of Junpei's ESP is. He did have that one instance in 999, which may have been assisted by Akane, but it's been years since then so he could have easily developed his powers, which he likely did considering the fact that he says in VLR that he didn't try using his ESP powers. I don't think there's any way for us to actually determine this until the game releases.

>>331813589Junpei's power turns out to be the same as Akane's once he develops it after 999. He is now the one rusing us the entire ZTD.
Why do people betray each other?
If you can't trust anyone... then everyone should DIE.

Now that's some beautiful despair and pottery right there. I hope you're right.
>>331814520
But Akane will be happy with Sigma.

We're partners. That means we share a destiny.
>>331815150
It's canon.
>>331815169
I briefly thought that was a mustache on Junpei's face.
>>331815470
Yeah, if you count being "lab partners" as canon
