Where were you when ZTD was confirmed to still have an anime art style?
People panicked for no reason once again.
Was there any doubt about this?
I've been out of the loop since announcementAre we actually playing this nigger this time or is another mindfuck inc
It looks like fucking shit
Preorder cancelled, fuck this shit
I'm really surprised. It doesn't look like the new artstyle presented with the torture chair artwork, but it's closer to the old style.
Also I think it looks greatand I want Sigma to fuck my ass
>>321107738
Something's kind of off about his face.
>>321107738
Hello, Brad
>>321107909
>>321108024
There was a bunch of faggots in Japan boycotting this game because it looked "too western".
>>321108373I like the promo art.
>>321108568
>>321107738
I think he looks better in the first. Also I liked his VLR look more even though he's supposed to be older in this.You know what I mean don't be a cheeky cunt
>>321108373
who cares about Japan they weren't gonna buy it anyways
>>321108373
Every ZE fan knows that the Japanese players' opinions should go straight into the trash
>>321108973
I liked him better in VLR as well. The tight polo makes him look like a Chad.
Still wonderingwho exactly will be inhabiting his body for this one.Whenever I think about this chart my brain starts shutting down.
It's fucking hard to fill Kinu Nishimura's shoes but this looks better than I expected. Wish his hair was still the same length as in VLR, though.
>>321109492
>who exactly will be inhabiting his body for this one.the conscience of young sigma who got through the nonary game in VLR. It's gonna be sent back to the test site.
>>321107738
Will Dr. Klim still talk like a cat when talking about cats?
>>321107738
I don't give a fuck, ZTD is confirmed!
>>321109973
Naw mateIt's Old Sigma from the body you inhabit in VLR. So you play as 50/70 year old Sigma in his 20 year old body
>>321110465
nope. Have you played the epilogue?Sigma gets sent back to the past to meet young Akane, and is surprised by his metal arms, so he can't be old Sigma. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be the Sigma we played as, and now that he knows the plan he's gonna go back to the Mars test site.
>>321108373
>Japan's opinions on ZE
>relevant
I can't even laugh about this because they're the reason the series is in the state it's in.
>>321110884The prologue is after the mars test site where old sigma failed at stopping the radical 6 outbreak. Come on man, you see the mushroom cloud in the cutscene.
Everything between Sigma being kidnapped and the prologue with the metal arms is Old Sigma in Young Sigmas body.
I want this.
But I also watch Punchline localized.
>>321111451
I know,he was sent there temporarily to meet with Akane, he was supposed to go back to before that right after.
Do I need to do the 'Gold' challenges or whatever they're called (likely butchered the terminology) for puzzles to get ALL of the story?
Does 100% take around 40 hours?
For VLR.
>>321111658
Yeah. Getting gold isn't all that hard unless you are literally retarded at doing the puzzles.
>>321111658
you need them to get the extra files I believe
>Does 100% take around 40 hours?
Pretty much yeah.
>>321111658
yeah. Though you could just look it up on youtube as it's just 1 cutscene
>>321111658
>Do I need to do the 'Gold' challenges or whatever they're called (likely butchered the terminology) for puzzles to get ALL of the story?
Yes
>Does 100% take around 40 hours?
Depends on how fast you read and how much trouble you have with the puzzles. I think my 100% took like 30 hours.
Finally, now people can shutup about it.
>B-But the humor will be different beacause of the art style.
Sigma looks like he's seen some shit man.
where is this new info at
is there a new trailer
this is one of the only video game series i still give a shit about
>>321111775
I have some comprehension issues so I miss obvious things in puzzles sometimes, no matter the game.
>>321111870
I read fairly fucking quickly so that should reduce my time by a good portion then.
>>321111887
But wouldn't I want to find out as much as I can as fast as I can? That doesn't even make much sense, friend.
Will Sigma be the protag?
>>321111628
Nope.From the time you see Akane, Sigma (You play as in VLR), Akane and your three frozen girls all fuck off to the moon so Sigma can learn science and build the nonary game.
Old Sigma, who fucked up at the Mars Test Site, goes back to his body after the events of VLR. There is no short hop from after the Mars Mission to before itPlease refer to this convulated image as it explains all the jumps >>321109492
>>321112119
The issue wasn't that the humor would be different, it's that Uchikoshi's anime humor would clash terribly with a more realistic style.
>>321107738
I want tosuck his dick even more
>>321112205
Some of the gold files pretty much tell you what's going to happen next in the story, so yeah, maybe best to hold off on actually reading them until you're near the end.
Wait, hold on, has that even been confirmed to be sigma?
>>321112303
you're remembering it wrongSigma arrives in the past in Akane's headquarters in 2029. A TV turns on, a news report running on it. The reporter talks about the destruction caused by Radical-6 and shoots herself in the head with a gun.
Akane tells Sigma that the Nonary Game: Ambidex Edition is about to be set up, and that she attacked him in order to stress him out and cause him to time jump; she knows this because her own esper powers allow her to see the future. She also explains the purpose of the game and how Sigma has to spend the next 45 years mastering genetic engineering and AI programming to make the AB Project work. She also tells him that he will create Kyle, Luna, and Lagomorph.
After that, his consciousness would go back to December 25, 2028, so he and Phi can help her investigate the Mars Mission Test Site and stop Radical-6 from ever spreading out. It is up to Sigma and Phi to prevent the outbreak of Radical-6, which originated at the Mars Mission Test Site, and save humanity.
Sigma also discovers that between Christmas 2028 and New Year's Eve, he lost his arms and his right eye in order to "save a woman" (possibly Diana) from the facility where Radical-6 first was reported, which was apparently full of traps.
As Akane's explanation concludes, the nuclear reactors explode.
straight from the wiki
>>321107738
I assume they're going in reverse order, with number 1 being the playable character.
Also assume they're introducing them in the expected order. Sigma, Phi, and Diana are the obvious ones so I guess they'll be 8 and 7
>>321112714
Nope but he looks like Sigma and he has Old Sigma's pose.
>>321108373
>Japan
>When the west is only reason it's around
fuck them gooks
>>321112265
Phi's the protag.
>>321107738
>18
>1+8=9
>9
He knew
>>321109973
>>321110465
>>321110884
>>321111628
>>321112303
>>321112756
Thanks for the clarification lads, now I'm more confused than ever.
So fucking hype for this game.
>>321112756
Funnily enough to page for Akane says what you're saying.
The page for Sigma says what I'm saying
>This would all accumulate to January 25th, 2074 when his 67-year old conscious mind switches with his 22-year old mind on December 25th, 2028 in order to infiltrate the Mars Mission Test Site and stop Radical-6 from being spread to the general population.
These are conflicting stories but this is the first I've heard of young sigma being at the mars test site.
>>321108568
SAW as fuck.
>>321114487
I don't get it, I really remember it being the way it is in the part I quoted.
Also it was confirmed that Junpei and "?" are going to participate in the nonary game, but in VLR it's also confirmed that only 3 of the participants survived, 2 of which are supposedly Diana and Sigma.
Phi is clearly alive and well, and so is Junpei, and at least we know that "?" still has his/her consciousness. So what the fuck happened?
>>321107738
I mean, it's alright, but Nishimura is just too godlike for me not to be still disappointed...
>tfw European and still got the watch
Sending the conciousness of Old Dr. Klim into young Sigma's body before the Mars Test Site Incident was one of the main reasons the Nonary game in VLR happend.
>>321107880
>People panicked for no reason once again.
No shit. Let's be real though, some of it was just shitposting.
>everyone wants to fuck Sigma in the new art
>tfw they don't know whose consciousness is in that body
