You're in the Mars Test Site and this guy slaps your ass thinking it's your girlfriend's ass.
What do you do?
>>336499806
Is he the "nineth lion"?
It was Akane who game him the name "lion" at first.
>>336500275
I always thought the lion thing was nothing other than to make the anagram possible.
I don't think it had much meaning other than that.
I guess we'll see n ZTD though.
>>336499806
Do whatever you have to to reveal he is aprick.
>>336501903
Well the way I look at it is
"If the nineth lion ate the sun"
Ate the sun I think is talking about how all the pollution the catastrophe caused is a nudge to that.
Will Eric come close to Ace's murder streak?
>>336502514
I guess that depends on our decisions.
Demo when?
>>336502514
Mira's shaping up to be the next Ace imo
I think Eric will only kill if
1) it's for Mira's sake
2) a damn brat bullshits him
>>336499806
"Unfortunately, that's the wrong answer. Actually... I'm my girlfriend."
>>336503289
>>336503082
Prepare to feel a little sad.

DAILY REMINDER THAT you'll actually be able to play as best boy Ericif Q dies.
Both the team leaders from C and D were in that room, but not Q. That's because Eric is the new leader in that timeline. If a team leader dies, one of the members of that team has to be the replacement (in this case Eric).
>>336503528
cute fish
>>336501984
Did anyone else think he was still alive?
>>336504779
I considered the possibility that he staged it. It would be an easy way to enforce the rules and drop from the game early if he had a hand in it.
>>336504779
You actually thought he was still alive?
Even after they opened the door?
What even made you think that?
>>336505214
By that logic, the person who was dead behind door 3 was actuallySnake. It took greater investigation to figure out that itwasn't.
>>336505214
Because it seems like a crazy twist a Japanese VN would pull.
They could have easily faked it all.
Did Ace actually do anything wrong? The real villain is obviously Akane
>>336505378
The Cradle dude was still dead though. Sure it wasn't the same guy but he still got exploded
>>336505516
Besides kidnapping and essentially condemning like 18 kids to death purely for profit, nah
>>336505715
That part never made any sense anyway. he could have just made them believe they were in danger of dying without actually having real death traps. He's kind of an idiot more than anything
If there's one thing I can't remember from 999, it would be Snake.
How the fuck did he end up in the coffin? Did Akane put him there or Santa? How did no-one notice, and how come he didn't call for help while they were dragging him away?
>>336506624
That filename/those dimensions always make me smile
1) He got kidnapped when they were looking for the parts to the RED, in the hospital room
2) Both of them, I think
3) They were split up, and he was unconscious thanks to Soporil - they used the gas on him before putting him in the coffin
>>336507330
*the REDs in the hospital room
>>336507330
Thanks. That helps a lot.
>>336507525
No problem, we all have details we forget
>>336499806
test reply
VLR and 999 spoilers.Is Free the Mind behind Radical-6?
Is Akane a part of Free the Mind?
Why was Snake wearing Free the Mind robes?
What is Free the Mind out to do?
>>336499806
Manipulate him to murder Brother and the rest of Free the Soul by telling him that they're survivors of his experiment.
THE END WHERE I TREAT TWO
You should be able to solve this anagram
>>336504441
So I guess that means playing as phi and Akane
>>336507928
Literally all your answers are going to be answered in ZTD. Also, Free the Soul
So why the fuck did Akane say that she has no idea what happens at the test site to Sigma in VLR, when she's clearly right fucking there in ZTD?
I'm starting to think that she orchestrated everything because she was bored and the true ending will involve preventing Junpei from giving her the answers to the sudoku puzzle so the stupid bitch burns to death.
>>336507902
She's saying "we should cut off junpei's arm"
Wht a crazy ho.
>>336508252
She said it not to spoil the player (aka ??? aka Blick Winkel) with important info from ZTD, thus making him play the ZTD and creating all conditions for ZTD events to happen.
>>336508252
The biggest thing I wondered is why apparently 6 of them died when Phi, Sigma, Junpei, Akane, and Diana were in VLR (Diana was unmentioned but was implied). i can understand Sigma's arms coming off and people believing he might have died due to his injuries, but that leaves 4 people.
memento mori if the nineth lion ate he sun
is an anagram for
thin timeline son ur the meme of the nation
>>336508634
I think we know what really happened.
>>336508634
>but that leaves 4 people
And Diana is robot, so "3 people survive" makes sense now.
>>336509103
No, Luna is a robot. Diana is human.
In fact, I don't think any of them could be robots during ZTD.
>>336509103
Diana isn't a robot, Luna is instead based on Diana because of Sigma's experiences in the Test Site.
>>336507928
Probably
No
Good question
Purging the non-believers and making a world full of Lefts basically: ZE's Third Reich
>>336504779
immediately upon seeing him i thought "jesus this guy looks way more generic than the rest of the character portraits" and then he died and i thought "oh that's why"
>Why was Snake wearing Free the Mind robes?
Damn, why did Uchi even made Snake wear it if 999 wasn`t planned to have a sequel in mind?
I think the explanation at the time was that Santa dressed him in robes that were around from Lord Gordain's time, they were the robes that he made his victims wear for a sacrificial ceremony in the incinerator. VLR kind of retconned it so that the robes bear the symbol of Free the Soul.
Basically Brother must be really, really, really fucking old if he's still alive in 2074.
>>336509818
>It was probably the other way around: I think they were just some cult's robes at the time of 999, and then he decided to make it relate to Free the Soul later.
>>336509387
>No
Wasn't she wearing their robes in END or BEGINNING?
>>336508670
#woah
>>336510769
Yeah but she could easily just be undercover. Or she really is a member and she's a complete sadist and everything in all three games is for her amusement. We'll find out come ZTD.
>>336509818
>wasn't planned
That explains the "volume 1" on the box art.
>>336511052
That's the second print anon.
I've been wondering...are esper powers hereditary--are they passed down like traits? I would think they are because of siblings seeming to share them, but I have no idea whether or not the parents would have them as well.
who else /watch/ edition here??? missed the ones for 999/vlr but this time i got one reserved
Another point of speculation.
Its not part of the serie's MO to have Zero be an unknown character, or anyone aside from the members of the Nonary Game. It would be bad form, even.
So whodunit?
>>336511291
Read Sheldrake`s researches. You may even come up with an idea for a new adventure game. Anyway, I think everyone has "esper power", be the level of this power high or not.
>>336511446
Uchikoshi is that you?
>>336511318
Carlos or Snake. But is it really important to know who Zero, even who Brother is? The ultimate goal of ZTD is to prevent the R-6 outbreak.
>>336511291
It appears to be the case. Light and Clover are siblings but have them, although it seems that Clover is better at giving information than receiving. Kyle can apparently do it too, being a clone and all.
Although, since Brother is meant to be the most powerful esper next to Akane, you'd think clones of Left would have those powers.
I suspect genetics help, but aren't necessarily the key to unlocking the morphogenetic field.
>>336511446
...Maybe I'll actually do that.
My main point of interest lies in whether or not Brother's relatives, such as Left or even a child we don't know about yet, would have similar esper capabilities.
>>336506624
the thing I never got was in your picture there
Was Seven really suffering from memory loss or was he in league with Akane/Santa?
>>336511305
me
it's a shame the watches look like shit though
I'd push a man through a door for a 999 watch
>>336508670
morphogenic field = meme magic confirmed
>>336511692
But why does Zero kidnap and torture the participants? A trailer apparently hinted that he wants to spread Radical-6. Why would he do that? What role does Brother play in this? Will we find out who he is?
Get those theories rolling, people.
>>336511742
Thanks for the input. This is also a very interesting concept to apply to Carlos, who appears to be a clone but also seems to possess Esper powers (if he really means that he won't die).
>>336511446
>>336511662
That does sound a lot like an Uchikoshi tweet, haha
>>336511824
There is a probability that you and I are both able to communicate within morphic field, anon. I might be able to send you porn I watched, you might be able to spoil ZTD to me if you`re fast enough to play through it.
>>336507974
I just spent the last 30 minutes trying to solve it but I give up.
There are some interesting words in it though.
>hero
>antidote
>earth
>death
999 hours in paint
>>336512359
He posts it every thread, it's something like he went to rewrite time
>>336512359
HE (THEY, WE) WENT TO REWRITE (WRITE) DEATH
>>336512147
There is a theory that R-6 is actually a disease made to prevail effects of another virus (FBR or something).
>>336512476
Poor Eric. He makes Junpei look alpha.
>>336512147
Plague Doctor Zero does seem to be more malicious in the trailers for ZTD than any of the previous Zero's. I get a feeling this Zero is doing it out of sadistic pleasure to hammer home the point of life being unfair rather than an elaborate setup for revenge/saving someone/experiment and training like the other Zeroes.
Or, to make an analogy to the Saw movies, this new Zero gives a Hoffman as Jigsaw vibe rather than a John as Jigsaw vibe.
>>336512476
That's beautiful, anon
>>336512478
>>336507974
He posts it cause it's in the game, I can't remember which screenshot it is, but in one of the Team C screenshots you can see it written on the wall
>>336512352
That is one unsettling thought, anon. I'll try not thinking of you when I'm marathoning ZTD. ;)
>>336512228
Yeah, the resemblance is uncanny.
>>336508429
It's scary to think Junpei is in love with a psycho bitch who put his life in danger so many times.
Post your favorite voices.
>Carlos - Japanese
>Akane - Japanese
>Junpei - English
>Q - Japanese
>Mira - English
>Eric - English(For the memes)
>Diana - English
>Sigma - Japanese
>Phi - English
>Zero - English
Your turn.
>>336512850
I`m trying to connect to you at this moment. Do you prefer creampies or girls with prolapse?
>>336512147
That's the twist, anon.The Zero in this game is actually legitimately evil and deranged
>>336512980
Is this the morphogenetic field version of creepy phone sex?
Anyway, I'm a girl+I stereotypically prefer reading erotica. Sorry, troll-like anon. <3
Wait what if
What ifKyle's consciousness is inside Gab?
>>336513048
So Akane again?
>>336512723
>>336513048
Lets go back to my previous question. Which participant is Zero?
>>336513048
Sigma is the Brother.
Lefts are Brother`s clones, so we assume that Kyle and the Brother have similar genetics and so. Kyle from the end of VLR jumps into ZTD`s Brother body and leads the game so it happens to prevent the outbreak, while the brother`s intentions will be revealed in the VLR`s garden.
>>336513281
None of them.
That's the twist.
>>336513251
Dude what if
WHAT IFPHI IS SANTA LOL!
>>336512886
He eventually gets sick of her shit by the end of VLR though. Sadly, he wasted most of his life chasing after her up until that point.
>>336512947
Japanese: Carlos, Akane, Eric
English: Diana, Phi, Mira, Zero
Can't decide: Sigma (in a good way, they're both excellent), Junpei (in a less good way, leaning slightly toward English), Q (fictional kid voices are annoying in every language)
Wow, and I thought I vastly preferred the Japanese. Maybe it's because the English dub's lows are lower and stick in your mind more - Akane, overall stilted/bland-sounding dialouge. Hopefully context will help that though.
>>336513281
None of them, I don't think.
It's probably somebody we know, but I doubt it would be any of the participants.
Unless Zero is one of the participant's shadow or some shitCOUGHJUNPEIAHEM
>>336513271
I want this Akane is evil meme to end. The first nonary game was to save her life and the second was to help save the world. She's morally gray, not evil.
>>336513463
I really really don't like that drawing.
>>336513232
Too late, I`m destinde to know every spoiler on everything humans will ever create, so by the time I become dead you will have known everything and this infodump will make you pregnant with the essence of humankind memory and collective consciousness.
>>336513232
Well, the two of you would need to have your life in danger to kick start the connection too. So just have a crazy guy threaten you with a gun while you and the other anon are thinking lewd things and you should connect to the field then.
>>336512947
I can't decide for most of the voices but my clear favourites are the Japanese voices for Zero, Carlos, and Sigma. Overall favourite is Japanese Carlos.
>>336513558
EVERY spoiler?
>>336513463
Akane's kind of beyond the concept of human morality at this point. I imagine being able to see so many timelines where horrible shit happens, even to yourself would do that to you.
>not staying here until release and watching everything unfold
It's going to be a spoiler minefield here soon.
Are you a bad enough dude to stay with me until the very end?
>>336513869
Some of you espers alright.
Don`t come to morphic field tomorrow and I won`t spoil ZTD to you
Who else is boycotting ZTD because clover isn't in it
>>336513558
jfc, I'm terrified. The collective unconscious is too full of lewd thoughts for me
>>336513581
T-this is getting too intense for me. I feel like I'm already in the Decision Game.
>>336514082
She is under that mask.
Do you think you could beat up Eric?
I think I could take him at his normal ice cream temperament, but if someone says "Mira" his berserker strength would annihilate me
>>336514118
Just imagine, putting yourself into incinerator to show me photos of your tits.
>>336514195
Eric sees everyone but Mira as an ultra ice cream hater.
He would annihilate you regardless.
>>336513463
At the cost of innocent people. Just because she's you're waifu doesn't mean she's above morality.
Thoreau bitch.
>>336514082
I love Clover but that's silly. Snake's awesome too and we all know he is Brother.
>>336514015

>>336514530
Don't give away our secrets
>implying the internet isn't just an easily accessible form of the morphogenic field to non-espers
>>336514253
Goddammit, I'd die laughing. Hope those morphogenic nudes go to good use, anon.
>>336514307
She's not my waifu. I just feel like people simplify her character to 'lol evil bitch' when there's more to her actions than that.
If you had the ability to save billions of people's lives at the cost of a select few, you wouldn't do it? And let's not forget that Sigma and Phi are her allies in the plan as well.
Calling it now, Alice really is the ALL-ICE of legend and Akane's attempt to send her back to the past goes horribly wrong and she actually ends up in Ancient Egypt.
https://twitter.com/Uchikoshi_Eng/status/726320724642648064
Uchikoshi is cute.
CUTE!
>>336514591
Non-espers don`t exist. It would be humanoid robot or something like it, but every human being has ability of entering MF.
>>336514779
Shiet, I completely forgot about Alice and Clover's time travel shenanigans. That's one of the few plot threads I'm not looking forward to being resolved, since from what they were talking about it sounded like a load of bull.
>>336514847
sleep tight writer
>>336514591
That's actually a theory I had. Given Lotus's line "The more people know something, the easier it is for others to figure it out," along with how the safe combinations are randomly generated per save, made me think that reading walkthroughs on the internet is supposed to be like an esper tapping into the morphogenic field of knowledge.
>>336514938
Clover gets sent back to the stone age and becomes the person Pebbles Flintstone becomes based on.
>>336514772
She's not saving anybody but herself. She keeps trying to create muh perfect timeline and every time she fails innocent people end up dead.
God knows how many fucked up timeliness she's created so far.
Dream state opens a wider array of opportunities to enetr the field and to communicate and be communicated with, so you might be spoiled without wanting it to happen.
Anyway, good night, this thread seems to be better than ones we had earlier these months.
>>336515395
the timelines were fucked from the start, anon, she's just trying to jump to one that isn't.
>>336514975
Couldn't it be possible to kill an esper by intentionally feeding them the wrong knowledge? Like if the person managed to make themselves believe in their own bullshit which would trick the esper.
Like going on a Wikipedia article and finding out some asshole had replaced everything with dick pictures.
>>336515454
Don't make me remember /jp/ shitposting ZTD earlier today.
>>336515587
Yes. I'm sure there's a timeline where Ace meets Junpei and stabs him in the dick for no reason.
Akane created those, same with VLR's and ZTD's.
When do I have to stop visiting /v/ to keep the spoilers away...
Akane can't see that live goes on and there is still good that happens even in the so-called bad timelines. Junpei explained it best at the end of VLR and he's completely right. I thought that was an awesome bit of character development for him.
Too bad ZTD will probably retcon it.
I'm still alive.
>>336516217
Are you talking about bikers?
>>336516298
(Sorry for my poor English)
>>336516217
VLR Junpei has lived 40something years to come to that conclusion. ZTD Junpei has only lived a year since the events of 999 and is understandably still fucked up by it. Can you really consider it a retcon when he hasn't even had that character development at all?
>>336516217
Gb2bed Tenmyouji.
So do you think Brother is an already established character?
A character mentioned in one of the games?
A brand new character?
>>336516532
Just think about it. If the Brother is someone new, then Uchi has to make his motivation, story and connection to make characters be that well-written, that player would be actually interested in it, or this introduction will be somewhat bland. It`s easier to use someone already mentioned to make the twist using the Brother.
>>336516783
to other characters*
One thing I thought 999 did better than VLR was the tying in of the escape room puzzles to the overall plot. In VLR, there wasn't a good justification for doing the puzzles.
>>336516783
But we already know his story and motivation.
New character > I was merely pretending imo
>>336515653
Theoretically, yes. However, I imagine it would be highly unlikely. I imagine it would be almost like killing a part of yourself.
>>336516532
...But it's tricky. Brother is a misantrope and has powerful esper powers--do you think that (given that he's someone we know) he'd be able to even hide those things?
>>336512723
This is a surprisingly great analogy, thanks anon. >>336516783
I still think this could work if it's Carlos, and we play through him becoming brother. Sort of like Sigma's VLR trip.
>>336517295
To you really believe that that piece of info about Brother we were given is everything we will ever learn about him? I believe ZTD will approach revealing whole Brother thing in a creative and sophisticated (in a good sense) way
>>336517562
Oh god I suck at formatting. Why didn't one of you use the field to tell me not to fuck it up?
>>336517560
Yes. Precisely BECAUSE he's these things
>>336517748
...That sounds more like what a psychopath would do, but then again it's hard to know whether or not Brother could be one. I think you're right though, he's probably incredibly charming.
>>336517626
What does that have to do with anything? Brother being an established character changes nothing.
So snake is brother and used clover to spy on akane? Cool, Dio or Quark could've done just the same.
What!? Junpei is brother? Guess he's merely pretending all this time!. All we get from the is that brother can act? And that he's involved in 999.
Would you let him hold the Axelavir?
>>336517562
Carlos=Brother doesn't make sense. It creates too many contradictions with the timeline and with what we know about Carlos, Left, and Brothers' backgrounds. I'm not saying the majority of what we know could be misinformation or fucked up by a time paradox, but yeah. It's a little too much mindfuckery, even for Uchi.
I'd sooner believe that Carlos and his sister are Brother's children over Carlos being Brother...
>>336519974
Carlos was just my go to because he looks vaguely Dio-ish. Hell, it could be Q or even Diana, but I just wouldn't mind Brother being new if we see them become Brother due to timeline fuckery.
>>336519853
Always.
>>336519853
I don't know what was worse, that or the part when Junpei thought "boy that sure is a gun, we should definitely leave it right where it is"
Probably the dumbest things our beloved protagonists have done
>>336519853
Would you let her hold you while she was dying?
>>336520110
Fair enough. I actually think it's not that random to suspect Carlos. If Carlos really does mean "he won't die", then he probably is an esper.
If someone in ZTD is somehow Brother, it's probably him, Q, or Zero.
I get the gut feeling that a lot of what we presume about Brother may be false as well. Can't really support why I think so, though.
>>336520340
All of protagonists have dumb moments. I'm honestly excited to see how ZTD continues the tradition.
Junpei: I'll just leave the gun.
Akane: I'll just go get that doll.
Sigma: I'll just let Dio hold the Axelavir.
Carlos: I'll just get shot.Yeah, I know that's a scene where he learns about his esper powers or whatever, but it would be hilarious if he just straight up dies.
Q: I'll just bullshit this ice cream man.
Diana: I'll just kill these 6 billion people.
>>336520483
No, I get what you mean. All the info we have, while vague, almost seems too straight forward for a Uchikoshi villain.
Friendly reminder that Brother is Uchikoshi.
>>336520827
I actually remembered something.
Alice said something like "the misdeeds of the Myrmidons and Free the Soul are difficult to pin on Brother." I find it rather odd that Uchi included this information. Maybe it can be interpreted as "Brother's identity is just that difficult to trace down." Or, maybe it means that he's not quite the Big Bad we know him to be. Could be someone besides him that's pulling the strings? Hmm.
God damnit i just played this game for the first time today, loved everything until the safe ending. I was so curious for the true ending and it was some huge disappointment for me
>>336520694

I would kill him.
Is it normal for this board to move so slowly?
>>336508252
Man, I've had the same thought. How freaking insane would it be if we went back to 999 and stopped everything from ever happening?
But would that mean condemning Jumpy to a burning death?

They usually start to slow down around this time of night, sadly

To be fair, it looks like all the moe!Eric pictures are all coming from one artist. Good to see him getting some love, cuz I'm sure he's the most likely participant to die in the "True Timeline", if there's one. ; )
Hey Brett you're still alive?

I'm intrigued, but I don't understand who or what this "Bane Carlos" is. Please enlighten me!

Good meme. Anyway, Akane gets shit-talked so often that it's hard to tell if liking her constitutes shit taste or not.
>>336524575
DAMN BRAT
>>336525112
Akane is my favorite character across all the games, so while she does get called a psycho genocide bitch pretty often, it's always nice to see someone else who appreciates her
>>336525383
JFC, I just typed in "damn brat" on google and "damn brat stop bullshitting me" popped up.
I've never googled it before.
This meme is already too powerful...
>>336525561
I mean, she's Uchi's favorite character--she's a fascinating, if problematic, person.
Still remains to be seen if she's able to do anything in ZTD--I do agree that she does seem to mess up a lot of timelines.

I want to cum on that massive dopey face of hers.
>>336525813
My favourite is Luna, because in one of my favourite games, the players talk about the Three Laws a lot.
I just wish Akane would show her real personality to Junpei

It's a cute figure of Luna that rapidly breaks down a few days after you open it and eventually crumbles to dust
>>336526910
I wish, but on second thought I realize they're probably referring to the EU-only art contest.

"Say that to my face"
Is what I'd say.
>>336525569
holy shit it's real. i just tried it
Does any merch get released for Zero Escape games? I'm hankering to make an Erikku itabag ;_;

Never forget

Interesting that the numbers don't seem to have much significance in the actual game, if the promo materials are to be believed.
