I liked ZTD a lot. The ending is a bit unusual but most stuff can be explained if we think about it.

What do you guys think?

That's true of every story ever written.

If the story had been presented in a more detached way as if it was meant to be a puzzle to crack then it would have been fair to leave hanging threads and stuff like that. ZTD's plot is too reliant on drama and suspense to leave so much stuff unaddressed.

Q2 - "So, I heard originally that you were planning to have ZTD follow Sigma as the main character, but with what we've seen recently, you decided to switch to three main characters. Why did you switch to three main characters, and how will this switch impact the game that you wrote?"
"So, during initial planning stages for Zero Time Dilemma before it was "Zero Time Dilemma", we had always planned to have three characters, but one of them we wanted to be Sigma initially. But, when we thought about it, it's kinda unfair to new players that aren't familiar with the series, because Sigma, y'know, spoilers, is from the future - well, his brain or consciousness is -"
"Yeah, uh, it's a big loop in VLR."
"Yeah, so he already knows what happens, and if you're the player following this character around who already knows, like, the plot, kind of, it's not very engaging for the player and kind of unfair."
"Kind of a detachment from the character."
"Yeah, so with the new cast, Diana knows as little as the player does, so you're on the same page."

no, because he was seriously just pretending. It was a way to avoid Zero hearing them out, when he climbed on top of her he whispered her to go get the cards in the trasporter room

Delta owns the transporter, so he killed the duplicate in every timeline he's not needed, since he would probably appear at the free the soul HQ.

>>344297323

Because atomic data doesn't include the original consciousness, just a literal copy from an exact brain reconstruction.

Sigma even waxes as much after he uses it and you view the scenes coming out of the import pods.

This would mean you could SHIFT to your displaced copy, though.
>>
>>344291072
Except that doesn't fix anything and they can't actually live in the good timeline, just a copy of them. In fact doing so would be pointless because those copies wouldn't even be guaranteed to live in the timeline, they'd have to transport to before ZTD happens, meaning that'd only a small set of themselves would live in the good timeline, with the rest still living in a shit timeline except even worse because now they actually have to live through the apocalypse.

That can't happen because Carlos came out before the timelines branched. He'd need to detain Carlos until he's sure which timeline it is, and by that point the game is already happening.

You're right,

well then he stations one of the Left clones near the entrance of the bunker and when duplicate Carlos arrives after the game has started, Delta tells the Left clone whether to kill him or not, so duplicate Carlos is only allowed to barge in the timeline Delta wants.

doesn't his Biker analogy still hold truth? I mean, the true end is accomplished by sending many alternate versions of themselves to a gruesome death and they're basically just enabling one happy existence out of many (like with the dice problem)

What if the events of VLR were always in the good timeline, but everybody involved either didn't know or made sure that they didn't know?

The whole AB Program was on the moon and nobody communicated with Earth or perceived whether Radical 6 broke out or not.

It's a Schrödinger's Cat thing where the Earth is both fine and fucked before they come back and observe it, so if they make sure that there's a reason for it to be fine and then return to Earth, it will be fine.

I also just finished it, and rather enjoyed myself.

Some lingering questions, though:

>Did they just run out of money and couldn't render the epilogues for Carlos, Akane & Junpei, and Eric/Mira/Sean?
>Why the fuck didn't Sigma/Phi/Diana get an epilogue, especially since they've gotta have the absolute most confusing one since Sigma and Phi's consciousnesses aren't time appropriate.
>When Delta is telling Akane she should attend the FtS meeting on April 12, and we know she goes, is that how she gets the full structure for the AB game? She says the AB project must succeed right after knocking out Junpei, but it seems like it must have been planned by Delta as well since his "true goal" was to have everyone survive all along.
>Why the fuck does Mira get off SO easy? Plus, in the epilogue, Mira using the transporter to stop herself from becoming a serial killer would completely erase literally everything that happens in the series, which is the point I guess, but still
>Who the hell is the guy from the epilogue of VLR, who occupies K's body?

And, while I really think lol alien transporter is a lame deus ex machina, at least they use it to fill literally all of the plot holes.

Oh, nothing was wrong, but I think it was less airtight than Q's reveal. There had to be a lot of reasons why Sigma didn't realize he had a cyborg eye, or never see a reflection prior to that point.

Are you fucking kidding me? Sigma's reveal only relies on one person (him) being retarded, which is understandable given he's drugged and infected with a disease that slows down your brain processing to 1/√ 6.

Q's reveal relies on every other character being retarded and the game outright lying to you by making him invisible numerous times, not to mention that it's never explained why he even needed to be in the game.

This is what got me about the twist.

It *technically* works and they can pretty easily say "lol he was never in the shot see look here his silhouette" but VLR's twist worked because it made sense in the framework of the game. Like there's never a situation where it feels unnatural that you can't see Sigma's face, because the whole game is built around his perspective, so it's mindblowing that it was literally right under our noses.

With Delta you have to accept that despite all of these third person cameras and apparent wide shots (maybe C and D Team got them but not Q, I dunno the game is like 20 hours long), often shifting multiple times in a single scene, the most we ever see of him is a silhouette because he's just really good at staying out of camera angles or whatever. And the whole Q = Delta thing is a little hard to swallow too. When did Eric and Mira learn Sean's name and how come they never directly used it until that scene? And just..... I don't fucking know.

Who fucking knows. I kept expecting a big twist with it but it never happened

Tbh I could have forgiven everything else about ZTD if the ending had been good but it honestly just felt like such a letdown. Like the big climax of the whole franchise is just Delta talking at you, then the shelter starts to explode so everyone holds hands and warps back to the beginning and Delta talks at you some more.

I expected there to be something big with Kyle and ? or with the terrorist. Instead I just got generic open we totally didn't run out of money ending. And that's supposed to cap off this whole three-game decades-long time bending struggle for the fate of humanity. Come on, Uchi, you used to be better than that.
