I'm satisfied. Game has issues (little original music, don't think the "cinematic" approach was better than the traditional VN format, fragment structure is still a bit fucked even with the plotwists justifying it, etc.) and you can tell the game was rushed/didn't include everything Uchi wanted to put in. Having said that, if 999 and VLR are 10/10s or 9/10s, ZTD is a solid 8/10. For the final game capping off a trilogy, they could have fucked it up significantly worse.

I've seen a lot of discussion put into this game regarding a lack of understanding for the twist and how certain things pan out with the transporter or why characters do certain things that they do, but personally, I'm more of a big picture kind of guy that can forgive plotholes here and there if they don't majorly get in the way of things. That being said, besides the little details that may bother, I'm more annoyed by a lot of the creative decisions that were made with this game, especially considering that this was supposed to be the final entry that wraps everything up, so I'm just gonna go through some things point by point that bothered me quite a bit once the game was over, since I honestly don't even know what specifically to focus on.

Diana, Phi and Sigma being a part of the game makes a lot of sense because they factor into the story a lot, not just in this game individually but also linking directly from the last game. Junpei and Akane feel a little out of place overall, I know that they also tie into VLR, but that sort of feels like the ONLY reason they're in the game, because besides actually tying their plots from this game to the next one, nothing much else happens with them plotwise regarding anything necessary to their pasts or character connections. Then you get to the rest of the cast with Carlos, Sean, Mira and Eric, and their inclusions come off as mostly unnecessary in the grand scheme of things, and that the only reason they were included is so that they could round out the number of participants to 9, just because that's how it was in the other games, because once you learn the basic backstory of these characters no other kind of interesting revelations or character developments happen, and really, you could have removed or changed any of them to help tie things into the plot better in relation to either any of the other participants or zero.

The main twist of the game also doesn't stack up to the twists of the last two games, from either a logical or emotional perspective. In the first game, you spend the entire game asking yourself a few specific questions, like "Why was I kidnapped and put through this" and "Who is Zero?" and ultimately, everything built up to answering and resolving these questions, same with the sequel, but with ZTD these questions almost come off as less important or less pertinent due to the way that everyone volunteered to be a part of the experiment, and the "Who is Zero?" question is given less room to work with since you know that it's not going to be one of the on screen characters, because you straight up see Zero walk up to everyone at the start for the coin flip, so by the time you see who Zero actually is, it's no where near as shocking as finding out who Zero was in the previous two games.

In the first two games, you were dumped into a situation where you're a (Seemingly) normal person with a variety of other characters, which over time you slowly come to converse with and understand over the course of the game, in ZTD, all of the characters are split into teams of 3, and only ever stay with their respective team members for the course of the game, which unlike the first two games, means you get a lot of redundancy in terms of characterization for the different situations the characters find themselves in, instead of having the characters constantly split apart with different team members for different conflicts or information. I would have actually forgiven this system if something interesting had been done with it involving how your perspective of time and space was being played with, but ultimately everything was pretty much how it seemed to be with the exception of the needless ward twist.

The Fragment system is an interesting idea that could have interesting applications for a story like this, but not only doesn't justify it's own existence by the end, but creates problems the series didn't have before this point. The game starts off on a similar note of being trapped in a mysterious environment by a crazed killer and being forced to play a game to escape, but unlike the other games in the series, falls into a massive repeating pattern due to the memory erasing drugs essentially meaning that almost every fragment has to begin under the assumption that it could have been the first one you picked, meaning that consistent character development doesn't start until about the 2/3 mark of the game when they finally start shifting through the timelines, since they can finally start retaining memories, and don't need to explain their pasts again to the other characters.

This isn't even so much a criticism about the game itself and more a problem with the fact that this is third game we've encountered these things in. In the first game, it was a genuine mystery as to what was happening, because it was the first game in the series, and wasn't building off any of kind of established plot. You wake up on a sinking ship, you all have bombs placed inside your chests, and overall there's this kind of oppresive, sickening feeling in the air of the entire game, as it feels like death has weight and there are actual horrible things happening. The second game tones down the oppressive atmosphere and instead focuses more on the mystery of the situation and characters, which I was totally fine with, personally.

I think Mira and Eric are just there to introduce an element of threat. A game with nine Luna's wouldn't be very scary.

So, what parts were ripped off from Ever17 this time? What comes to mind for me is:
>awkwardly shoehorned inexpressive dog companion (Coco's dog/Gab)
>characters stuck in shelter eating bland rations, resulting in one of them eventually freaking out at the tedium and eating the same food every day (Kid/Diana)
And of course, the SHIFT shenanigans at the end are a given.

>>343762742
The problem with ZTD is that it simultaneously wants to recreate the oppressive atmosphere of the first game, while also recreated the sense of mystery from the second game, the problem is that at this point, we know that death doesn't hold much meaning anymore, so the death scenes where they either try to make you feel sad at a characters death, or make you feel sickened with the way they die, don't hold much weight. On the other end of the coin, because we're all so used to crazy twists at this point, the entire game is also spent trying to theorycraft who the killer is/what the killers motivation is/what the twist is, and no matter what any of those things wound up being, would never match up to what anyone else would have come up with, and in general would never be as shocking, since everyone is going into the game expecting a crazy twist at this point.

Another issue I found myself not liking was the overuse of Blue Bird Lamentation. I understand that perhaps there were budgetary concerns and maybe they couldn't have as much music as they would have liked to work with, but a song that was used to such emotional power as that one in VLR being used anytime anything happened with D-Team really sucked away any kind of emotional value it would have had, although I guess this point is probably open to personal opinion.

Also Aliens, but I really feel like I don't even need to go into detail about why that plot device doesn't work.

Sorry, I just beat the game and needed to vent my feelings

>>343757845
The other teams knew Q for five days at DCOM, and I agree that Sigma, Phi and Akane should have been suspicious.

However, remember that for the majority of the time, Q was only with Q team. Meaning C and D had no idea Sean even existed until the latter parts of the game.

Maria was not suspicious since she was conspiring with Q.
Eric is definitely suspicious and it showa in his actions.

How does Akane feel out of place? Her entire motivation in VLR stems from what happened in ZTD. And Junpei comes because of Akane. Carlos makes sense because he's a potential SHIFTer. Sean has connections to Zero. Mira for that wildcard factor, and Eric cause he's an obsessed loser.

>Another issue I found myself not liking was the overuse of Blue Bird Lamentation. I understand that perhaps there were budgetary concerns and maybe they couldn't have as much music as they would have liked to work with, but a song that was used to such emotional power as that one in VLR being used anytime anything happened with D-Team really sucked away any kind of emotional value it would have had, although I guess this point is probably open to personal opinion.
Agreed. It's the same problem that MGS has with the MGS3 salute: Fucking fantastic the first time around, arguably the best moment in the entire series. In almost every substantial game they milk it.

finished it now. the beginning was great, then it slowed down, mid to late game was again pretty good, i didn't like the ending. I have questions
1. where the fuck is kyle, is he the dog
2. how did mira kill junpei
3. delta was only in q's team right?
4. when did mira and loveboi learned robot's name is sean? i think they call him sean in another timeline, where sean didn't learn he is sean yet. although i'll accept he told them after he learned it from another timeline. still retarted tho.
5. what was the deal with transporter room weird puzzle thing that i haven't solved. something like a card reader that laughs. there was another puzzle-like thing in another room that i skipped if i remember correctly
>>
The problem with the twist isn't that it doesn't work, it's that the game has to pull so much contrived, convenient bullshit for it to work. Just dropping some shadows here and there doesn't get around the absurd movements you have to assume a crippled, blind old fucko is making in-between scenes to hide himself from the camera for seemingly no reason besides to hide the twist. The fact that Q-team knows Sean's name yet NEVER refers to him by it a single time before the reveal is also another example of how far you have to reach to make this dumb shit work.

>>343763078

I guess what my issue boils down to is that the characters have a sliding scale of importance, where you have characters that are important to the plot (Sigma, Diana, Phi) either for what they do in this game or for what they do in the next game, but having characters that are only there to create conflict with other character like Mira or Eric feels kind of weak for what is supposedly the final entry in the series, and like you said, Junpei is there not because he actually has anything to do, but just because Akane is there, which I think is a disservice to his character. I also really don't feel like Akane needed to be there for the next game to take place, unless there's something in particular I'm forgetting about VLR that suggested she took place in the ZTD experiment?
