So I just beat 999 on emulator and loved it, so I downloaded VLR on the eshop last night.
Holy shit, why did they move to voice actors and 3D models? 999 I practically couldn't put down, but I only made it through an hour of VLR last night before checking the clock and deciding to go to bed.
The kid and the rabbit's voices are especially grating, the rest are bearable. The 3D models aren't awful looking but their animations can be awful. Like when someone says something suprising and it cuts to their reaction faces, its fucking awful and makes the whole thing seem like a joke instead of having the serious tone the first game had.
This wouldn't have bothered me if this was a standalone game, but they got it right in the first one, so its disappointing they fucked up this badly in a sequel.
Spoiler your spoilers please.

Also I liked all of the characters early on in 999, more or less, but the kid, the woman, and the faggot with the hat are already annoying me. Especially the had edgelord.
I miss Nishimura
>>331965467
3D models are cheaper and when they started development they wanted to do something about the 3D effect because they thought it was a requirement for games on the 3DS.
Voice acting is common on VNs, 999 didn't have it just because it wouldn't fit on a DS cart.
I assume you're talking about the English dub here, Zero Jr's voice is great and the acting is amazing, it's just that the character is supposed to be fucking annoying. In fact most of the dub was top tier, too bad it most likely won't be that way in the sequel.
>>331965594
Don't worry, the guy with the hat, Dio, gets better the kinder you are to him. Remember to always choose Ally.
>>331965467
>Disliking SIGgYYYYYYYY PHIDOOOOOOOO
Shit taste
3rd game will have no text, only voices and 3d models, so you better get used to it in VLR
Also somebody will spoiler you so you better leave
>>331966076
It has subtitles you dense fuck.
>>331966271
I know, but they are optional
I meant it will have no novel sections
I like rabbit Zero's voice. Makes me determined to end him.
I enjoyed the english dub of vlr
Fucking weebs
>>331965467
Why is Clover dressed like a caveman?
whatever you do op, dont save in the PEC room, you'll file will be corrupt and will lose everything
have at least one or two back up saves to avoid losing all your progress
>>331965467
If you haven't done it yet change the voices to Japanese. They are so much better. Also it may take a bit longer, but the story still probably pull you in eventually. Just don't save in puzzle rooms, there's a save corrupting bug they never fixed.
> Just found my boxes of 999/VLR
> Planning to replay them before ZTD.
> Don't know when to start them up again.
My memory fails me, how long would I need to do very full playthroughs of both games?
I'll probably only do the two necessary endings for 999, if that helps.
>>331965693
The artist change was literally a case of >We want the western audience
>>331967042
You can finish 999 in a day or two easily.
>>331967042
It took me maybe 10-15 hours to playthrough 999 blind, getting only the knife, safe, and true endings. didn't feel like doing all of the puzzles again to get sub and axe
>>331966530
Yet you never do. Disappointed?
>>331966609
>2016
>people still listen to dubs
This is the year where you can download or purchase nearly anything subtitled with audio in its original language. There's no excuse for listening to something dubbed over in another language anymore. Even if it's your only option, you shouldn't give whoever made the game/movie/whatever money for fucking you over with shit.
>>331967214
>>331967205
So basically, replaying them now is a bit of a waste, given that there are still about 3 months until ZTD.
>>331967130
Who cares about it as long as it looks good?
>>331965693
Why is Phi's new design so shit? She looked fantastic in VLR.
>>331967378
Because orange eyebrows.
>>331966364
Wait what?
So it's basically going to be an interactive movie?
>>331965467
>Spoiler your spoilers please.
For your own sake, just abandon the thread.
>>331967625
Yes but it will still have the same puzzle segments of 999/VLR
>>331966609
> YOU SENILE OLD FUCK
>>331967361
I don't like inconsistent art styles.
>>331965467
>Emulator
Literally how?
999's ending is a unique experience that requires both screens for delivery!
>>331967625
Puzzle sections stay the same with dialogue boxes.
The novel sections now instead of being character portraits talking with you looking at them, are now animated sections in third person with subtitles, that's it, I don't get why people act like it's a big deal. It's also part of Uchikoshi's keikaku for the twist it seems.
>>331965693
I don't mind this, it'd be cool with Nishimura for consistency, but her characters had no fashion sense. Most of the ZTD players have outfits real people might wear.
>>331967782
Desmume has two screens.
>>331965467
>just finished 999 for the first time
>my first endingwas getting stabbed by some unknown person at the very end
Guess I'll try again. Not reading thread cause of spoilers, though
>>331967965
Lotus is Zero
>>331967965
Yeah do that, choose different doors and after your next ending look for a spoiler free flowchart on GameFAQs
>>331967965
Don't enter these threads till you have beaten 999 and VLR.
>>331968071
Lotus dies in the ending that anon described, she can't be Zero.
>>331968152>Implying dying has ever stopped Zero from being Zero
>>331967793
Fug, the TWEEST had better be good then.
>>331968384
The twist is speculation of course, but the whole CQD thing appears way too much.
>>331965467
I had the same reaction like you OP but then I decided to get through it anyway.
It eventually doesn't bother you anymore.
