That's what I think too, but then again I thought Dio would redeem himself eventually.Storywise, I mean. I love that huge jerk.
REPOST
How long do you think each fragment is going to be? Depending on the answer, this game could either be very long(we're talking around 40 hours here)or very short(10 hours?)
I'm kind of worried that the game is going to be on the short side since it's going to be completely cinematic.
>>331238776

Certainly, we are in the best timeline.
>>331238776
They already said is around VLR length or longer. Definitely longer than 999.
>>331238195
Kinda sad he isn't gay so he could perfectly fulfill my homo fantasies.
>>331238776
I imagine the exposition is going to be long. Uchi keeps saying he's going to answer EVERYTHING in this one.
Now you could argue that's not really gameplay (this is a VN with tacked on puzzles so uhh), but I expect this game to be closer to VLR than 999 length-wise.
I'll be disappointed otherwise.
>>331238828
Thanks senpai.
do we have confirmation on how long the game will be?
since the "novel" parts have been replaced with cinematics, I can only assume that means less story overall aside from puzzles. Which i'm assuming will be unchanged
Now is Eric being a psychopath just him handling stress badly, or is he going to be the Dio of the game?
I just hope he isn't as black and white as we are all making him.

>>331241535
It was all dream grandpa Siggy was telling loli Akane
>>331241535
Sigma is actually Brother's brother, who was contacted by Junpei's parents, Akane and Aoi (disguised as phi) to stop the mars test site experiment crafted by Eric and Q. Akane reveals Mira is actually a robot, and when you save the world, you come out from the facility to reveal you were actually Tenmyouji in Sigma's body, and you're actually in the nevada desert in 2078.
>>331241535

So what's the deal with the snails anyway? I wonder if it's the same deal as the "Snail" in MGS5 with the parasite outbreak.
Is it just me or does Akane look extremely pissed in all screenshots of her?Is she going to have to play Sudoku again?
>>331242462DR2 was still great even with that twist. Komaeda basically elevated that game by himself. And just because it was in a game didn't really negate what had happened, it was just a way for the characters to lose their memories. Yeah, people will call it tumblronpa, but it's actually pretty good.

Since Diana said that she killed 6 people in the facility, does that mean that she, Sigma and Akane are going to be the only survivors in the true ending?phi in ztd is not real phi
>>331244284
Shit, I forgot about Tenmyouji. Never mind.
>>331244284
Diana could be mistaken about the number of people she think were killed.

>>331239346
Source was me, Bluebird dude. The more I think about it, the more I wonder though. Being able to just choose a scene and go makes the whole experience really streamlined, and I might've jumped the gun when I mentioned it because I just got a general look at the complexity of the timeline and assumed as much. I still think with multiple routes, random shenanigans, and high 30s puzzle rooms is a good sign though, and it really depends on how lengthy the Cinema portions are. It's definitely much bigger than 999, and while I kinda ponder if I jumped the gun every now and then, I'm still fairly confident from the chart that we saw and the gameplay structure shown so far that the game could easily reach VLR levels. If I get a review copy, I'll definitely compare the length more accurately, but it's up to Aksys if they'd let me, and we'd still have to wait a bit because it was at 80% completion last we heard.
>>331244284
>>331244405
They specifically said that these discrepancies are intentional and will be addressed in ZTD.
>>331242907
the first game actually really teaches selflessness very well, which i think is the ultimate moral a game could have
>>331244654
Personally I'm not concerned. I don't think it's possible for the game to be under 20 hours, and anything more than that is great.
>>331244654
How long was the fragment you played?
>>331244654
If there's like 13 fragments for every team + bonus ones for the TRUE END. I think the game is going to be long enough.
>>331244284Phi is Santa
>>331244834
If I recall correctly, VLR hovered around 15 rooms last I checked. If I read the debug menu correctly, ZTD could potentially have more than twice as many puzzles as VLR. Whether or not some rooms are shared, I don't know (I imagine that if there was a puzzle after the X Door, it might be used for each team since it's the one shared location that they're all aiming for.), and there is a choice after each room apparently, with varying consequences for each one. I think I should relax, it'll be big. Streamlined probably, but big.
>>331245121
Well, we kinda just played what seemed to be a watered down intro. (I can't go further detail into this due to setting up plot details that shouldn't be given to the public until release.) The gameplay demo was mostly done by Uchi, who skipped around to a few different examples of gameplay, like the puzzle with the teamsplit gimmick that I mentioned, and the 50/50% Sigma death vs 100% Phi death decision part (which, btw, was ALSO not supposed to be detailed. I don't know who broke Aksys's good faith policy first, but I remember seeing Sigma mentioned specifically in the Kotaku followup, and I thought it was pretty shitty. Cat's out of the bag, so no sense hiding it now I guess, but still. Least based Hulk is tearing shit up now, karma.) in order to show off an example for the main three stages of the game.
Whoa hold the fuck up. Characters death is RNG based now? Really? What the fuck? Then what's the fucking point of choosing choices that would make a character alive if in the end, RNG decides to kill him/her?
>>331245948
Shitty that people are releasing stuff that they aren't supposed to. At least it's not real major stuff. Being on /v/ after VLR released in Japan was hell. I'm surprised I only got spoiled about Zero Sr.
>>331245948
So how long was it?
>>331246363
It's not like you aren't going to explore the whole flowchart anyway. It's the same as VLR.
>>331246363
There's still a choice.
You can risk a 50/50% of a character death (Sigma), or not risk it and ensure another's character death 100% (Phi)
>>331246363
>Then what's the fucking point of choosing choices that would make a character alive if in the end, RNG decides to kill him/her?
What would be the point of having a fake randomness?
Like the game telling you it's 50/50% but it always has the same result.
Then it's not about asking yourself what is the better choice in a situation where both choices can go wrong, but just finding the one choice that is always correct which is shitty.
>>331246363
From what I've heard, it's only RNG based if you make it RNG based.
If you shoot the gun, Sigma has a 50% chance of dying and Phi has a 100% chance of living.
If you don't shoot the gun, Sigma has a 100% chance of living but Phi has a 100% chance of death.
You're exaggerating a bit. I think this is a cool as fuck concept.
>tfw some stupid kid is bullshitting you
>>331247194
>If you pick betray, there's a 100% chance I'll smash the axelavir
>If you pick ally, there's a nonzero chance I won't smash the axleavir
It's just RNG, don't blame me if you pick ally and I smash the axelavir anyway
>>331246459
>>331246420
Well, I mean, most people were going to figure it out as soon as "gun" was mentioned because of the promo art, that's why my write-up has the word "device" instead. It's honestly not that big of a deal, but it just seemed kinda crappy how they didn't even TRY to be subtle. As for length, I lost all sense of time... They didn't finish the puzzle section, they just took the time to show off the controls and navigation, so the longest part we witnessed was the Decision stage. The setup is explained very clearly and carefully, and it was debated on back and forth by Sigma and Phi, so it seemed pretty lenient in that you really had a lot of time to consider your options before the Quick Time Selection. I imagine future decisions might try and catch you off guard more to try and get some more RAW instinct from you, but Zero himself gives ample time explaining it to you, so I figure moments like those would be saved for confrontations with other players or other scenarios. Zero, at least in the scene we saw, seemed to want an honest and not so rushed response, so he seems pretty fair.

>>331246363
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolley_problem
This is the basic concept that the game seems to be working off.
The AB games in VLR were probably the most tense I've ever felt in a game... just thinking back to it is giving me that anxious feeling in my stomach.
I'm excited to see how far the trolley problem can be taken though... one of the fun things about the AB game was that things got pretty tricky when people got a good spread of numbers and all 3 people basically wanted different outcomes.
The fear I have is that 100 V 50/50 chances could get kinda stale if that's the only choice.
>>331246737
>>331246912
>>331247194
Oh, it's only on that particular segment, yeah? I though it's something like this; say you follow a walkthough to keep all characters alive and reach best ending. You follow the exactly same thing as the walkthrough explained, but you failed because RNG decides to kill some people which makes you unable to reach the best ending.
>>331247194
It's only a 50/50 chance from the perspective of the observer. From Sigma's point of view, he will never die.
>>331248048
>You follow the exactly same thing as the walkthrough explained, but you failed because RNG decides to kill some people which makes you unable to reach the best ending.
You can replay the part until the RNG gives you what you want.
>>331247443
>betray - 100% chance axelavir will get smashed
>ally - ~50% chance axelavir will get smashed
But that has only one factor, not two.
If there was a dilemma like that in the game (100% of someone dying or 50% chance of someone dying), then yeah, it would be pretty stupid, since then there would only be a 1/3 chance of that person living.
>>331248165
I didn't know Koreans played ZE
>>331248289
That would a freaking waste of time though. This is a visual novel game, not RPG.
>>331248048
Well by the sounds of it we're going to be playing the whole game in random chunks that fit together after you've played them.
There isn't going to be a "keeping everyone alive" route because of how much you'll be jumping around.
Though I'm sure there's going to be some kind of tweest on how we perceive the fragments to work.
>>331245948
While you're here I might as well ask a question, too.
When do you think the demo for ZTD will be released to the public? Do you have any info regarding this?
>>331248510
The point is that all the outcomes of the RNG will be worth exploring.
Just as you say, it is a VN, so going through all the possible routes and reaching the bad ends is what you do.
>>331248510
Did you play 999 with a guide too? You could easily end up wasting time getting the same bad ends over and over if you picked doors at random. If the RNG events are reasonable, i.e. usually 50/50 odds, then you really don't have to waste that much time since apparently you can skip right to the Decision games and fast forward scenes.
>>331248510
Maybe when you get one choice due to RNG, the other choice would be unlocked to you so that you wouldn't have to retry over and over for the gun not to shoot Sigma.
That would be pretty stupidand i gotta say quite experimentalif the development team doesn't do this.
If the game is about manipulating luck like some anons have theorized, I want the final confrontation to be a situation where just to prove how fucked Zero is, the group does some crazy shit with no possible way to suceed and they suceed anways
Like loading the revolver with all live rounds and firing it- but it jams.

>It's a "everyone picks betray" round
>>331244284
I assume the six people she killed int he facility are Q, Carlos, Mira, Eric,Sigma and Zero.
Though she probably though sigma was dead since he had no arms, was missing an eye and bleeding out on the floor, only for him to be secretly cared out and given robotic replacements.
>>331249785

Did any drawfriend pick my suggestion of the Sigma and Kyle drawing?
So ZTD will take place sometime between December 25, 2028 and December 31, 2028.
I guess one of the endings will involve Radical Six escaping anyways, leading to the VLR timeline.
...And another will lead to the good timeline where 6 Billion people didn't die, as Phi reluctantly confirms to the consciousness inhabiting Kyle Klim's body.
I wonder if there will be a third ending?
Also, Carlos being a 1st Gen Brother clone would be fantastic---especially if he's supposed to be the player character for ZTD.

>VLR
Have you ever seen a termite mound?
They are splendid structures. Some might even call them works of art.
Termites are natural architects, and their mounds are both structurally sound and make excellent use of space.
So, are they following some sort of plan as they build? Are there termite blueprints, detailing which room goes where?
No. Of course not.
Each termite is simply an oblivious cog in a tremendous machine, programmed by millions of years of termite DNA.
It is doubtful an individual termite has any idea what its contributions are helping to create.
But a human does.
We can appreciate the elegant forms of their alien cathedrals... We can see the simple beauty of their perfect functionality... We can understand the splendid planning of their structure...
In other words, only an intelligence of a higher order can understand the beauty of what the termite builds.
Now consider humans.
Why are we alive? Why do we love, and give birth? Why do we create? From where do our cultures spring?
There are many theories, but no one knows the truth.
We are oblivious cogs in a tremendous machine programmed by millions of years of human DNA.
No doubt you see now what this analogy is supposed to illustrate.
Yes, I mean to say humans are not different from termites.
We trudge through our lives with no greater understanding of our ultimate goal.
You might say we don't understand what we're building.
Only an intelligence of a higher order than ours can understand what we're doing.
Imagine how we might look to such an intelligence...
We may be building some structure so perfect and elegant we can't even perceive it.
Whatever it is, we've likely been building it on a dimension just above the ones we know since time immemorial.
If we are like the termites, then what we've created is almost certainly something of tremendous beauty.

The sigma conciousness that said that statement fucked up and lost his arms and an eye though
The Sigma conciouness in ZTD is the one we played in VLR but just aged sixty years, they aren't the same person.
>>331267172
never made sense to me
>The entire gun sequence's time limit is 4 minutes in real time.
>Throughout the 4 minutes, Sigma tells you to shoot him, and Phi tells you not to shoot him. They both have convincing arguments.
>As the countdown reaches closer to zero, both Phi and Sigma become more frantic with their reasoning, to the point where Phi basically begs you not to shoot him.
>If you shoot Sigma and it shoots a blank, Phi gets pretty mad at you and, while Sigma now trusts you deeply, Phi probably doesn't think the same way. When it comes down to it, they will probably not kill you when the chance comes in another dilemma.
>If you shoot Sigma and it shoots a live bullet, Phi will grow an extreme hatred toward you. When the time comes, she will try and kill you in a dilemma, even though you saved her life.
>If you decide not to shoot, as Phi burns in the incinerator Sigma gets released from the chair and he brutally beats you up. He yells at you for not shooting the gun and for basically murdering Phi. If or when the time comes, however, Sigma will still try and save you in the dilemmas. You are the only one left in his team, and he needs you.
>>331262969
Losing your memories every 90 minutes is not a good situation to have a speech about termites
>>331268526
There's is only one Sigma.
The Sigma that we played during VLR also lost his arms and an eye when he woke up in 2029.

JUNPEI IS THE HERO WE DESERVE
>>331268727
So you can or not kill sigma, meaning that both may end alive, but phi will always die if you don't shoot? Seems like a weird choice
>>331270051
He did this just to rape Akane until she loses her memory in 90 minutes.
S A V A G E
>>331269457
He won't. Sigma would rather kill himself than hurt Diana.
>>331270439
He can't let himself die because then the events of VLR won't happen which causes a paradox
>>331270695
VLR is one big bad end.
The true end may or may not have Sigma live up to the end.
>>331270239
You may think it's easy from an objective point of view.
Not shooting guarantees one is always dying.
Shooting at least leaves a 50% chance that both survive.
However shooting someone in the head is much involved than just doing nothing and letting someone die.
The outcomes are important, but how involved/how responsible you feel about those outcomes is important too.
Like the Trolley problem, if you choose to press a switch the trolley will kill only 1 instead of 5.
Most people would press it.
If you had to push 1 guy (who would die of course) to stop the trolley from killing 5.
The choice would be more difficult.
>>331270695
>time paradox
Wait a second. What if Diana causes a time paradox that destroys a certain timeline? That would kill all humans in that timeline meaning 6+ billion deaths.
>>331270695
The point is to create a future which is different from VLR's future.
There's no paradox to be had.
One of the multiple possible endings of ZTD will be one that is canon ending that happened in the VLR timeline. But that's only one of them, anything can happen and anyone can die in the other scenarios.
What a stud.

If Left/Brother has all this esper power to do basically whatever he wants, why didn't he just quantum leap back to his younger self and stop his brother from getting killed? Hell he could even get revenge on the policemen and the killer too.
>>331250113
From what I heard from the demo recently (Uchi demo'd the scene from the game captured by the first concept art) I think Sigma will lose his eye there.
Since only the SOUND of a gun can free Phi from the incinerator, the other three chambers must be filled with blanks. The gun is also facing the side of Sigma that does lose an eye. If he loses his arms later and Diana presumes him dead, then it works.That means the intermediate time we'll have to deal with Sigma reacting to his eye loss. I don't know if I'll be ready
>>331273279
We don't know exactly what are the extent of Brother's powers.
>>331273541
Sigma doesn't have to survive in every timeline.
He can die by getting shot in the head and that's it.
>>331268727
See, this is why I'm all for killing Phi.
I'll probably take the shot because it's the only option that even has a chance at saving anyone, but then on my next run I'll just burn Phi.
I'll always end Phi if I can.

This tbqh, either way, I'm ready for a good surprise.
>>331267172
Wait a minute. Since old Sigma has already experienced the game, then that means he could have made more references to it than we might have known when we played VLR. Hence, TWO MILKMEN GO COMEDY could actually be a plot point in ZTD
Anyone down for morphogenetic sorrow and chill?
>>331275132
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gq87yry1Dk4
Yes.
is it true that we play as all characters or am I remembering something wrong
if it it is, my bet is thatwe play as brother for the ending
>>331275027
VLR was made with a trilogy in mind.
I'd love to replay it after ZTD just to look for those subtle gems.
>>331275249
We play as either Carlos (probably a Left clone), Q, and Diana
>>331275027
No, the old Sigma that build the VLR game did it before ZTD from his point of view.
>>331275027
Not before he designed the AB game. After taking Akane's attack in the garden, Sigma that just finished VLR's plot jumps to April when the reactors blew up and then goes to the moon to work on the AB project. The Sigma that experiences ZTD is Sigma after the AB game's developed as they switch consciousness right before the AB game starts.
>>331275519

how did he know about Diana then?

>>331275787
Diana went to the moon after ZTD.
>>331275976
damn
it's hard to remember all this
How many people are going to replay 999 and VLR before ZTD?
I'm debating whether or not to bother getting bad ends in 999 (aside from the Safe ending, I'd do that first) because I'm not 100% sure there are any important details in the other ends that aren't also in the Safe + True ends. Am I wrong about this? It has been 2-3 years since I played 999, my memory isn't flawless.
>>331276121
That's why I frequent these threads, fun conversation while catching up with the plot at the same time.
Saves me the trouble of replaying the game.
Finish the god damn set, Crash Keys.
Akane!
>>331276274
I probably will replay them.
>>331276362
They didn't finish it because Q isn't the fourth participant.
>>331275887
Nah. If anything, VLR showed us that clones can be significantly different from their genetic predecessors. It would be interesting if Carlos was a Left clone but didn't know it.
Is VLR just one giant bad ending?
I seriously hope that's the case, it would make ZTD much more interesting and less predictable.If VLR really is the true ending of ZTD then at least 6 people are going to die in this game anyway, i think diana said something like this
>>331276441
Uchikoshi!
I thought that was a possibly. I hope it is, it'll be fucking sick.
>>331276560
>Is VLR just one giant bad ending?
Right. The timeline that led to the point where the VLR timelines branched off of was a ZTD bad end.
>>331274407You know who*
>>331276560
That's right. Who's ending do you think it will be?
I think it's Diana's; that matches up with the Luna ending. In fact, if it matches up even more, that would mean Sigma, Phi, and Diana are the three. Maybe they'll take it further and the ways in which the other six died will reflect the deaths in the Luna ending.
It's not all bad; after all, Tenmyouji met Quark in that timeline.
>>331276745
Bad endings of bad endings. It could happen, you know.Didn't 6 billion people die in VLR? Maybe the true ending of ZTD has something to do with preventing that.
>>331276978
oh wait, Quark lived in that ending, nevermind
>>331277004
I think it has everything to do with saving the human race.
>>331277004
>Maybe the true ending of ZTD has something to do with preventing that.
Right, that's the premise of the game.
In all known timelines - which branch into any number of other timelines - radical-6 escapes the facility and the world is fucked. Sigma and Akane are looking to create a divergence from that. The point of ZTD is to make a timeline where radical-6 doesn't escape, which can branch into a ton of timelines (in the same way that all the VLR timelines branched from a single ZTD bad end where Diana fucked up).
>>331277004
did you read any of the background info?
We've known ever since the end of VLR that the whole goal of the ambidex game was to send Old Sigma's brain back to young Sigma's body so he could create a new timeline where le 6 billion don't die
>>331277004
But that was directly stated in VLR. Because of FTS fucking around with the Mars Mission Test Facility a bunch of Radical 6 was released and it became a pandemic that eventually killed 6 billion people.
The true end of ZTD is supposed to be the one where you stop FTS and Radical 6 never escapes so no pandemic occurs and no one dies.We all know by now that it won't be that simple.
>>331238345
To be fair, that kid was bullshitting him
>>331277059
Not only that, in that timeline Quark was able to win the AB game make it out the number 9 door while being comatose.
What the hell did him and Phi do after they escape anyways in that ending? I can't imagine there was much to do while being on the fucking moon.
>>331275887
Dio was punished for straying from Brother's teachings by loving a woman, so we know that the Brother clones aren't totally indoctinated
>>331277331
>What the hell did him and Phi do?
>>331277304
I smell a meme on the rise
>>331277331
Phi probably killed herself due Radical-6, she put a suit on her and Quark and carried him across the moon and happened to find another moon base with Axelavir.
>>331276362

>>331277215
>>331277221
It's been a while since I last played VLR, sorry about that.
So could you say that VLR is a bad ending, but an ending that is required for old Sigma to jump to the start of ZTD into his young body, so in a way it could be the trueprologueeven though it takes place after ZTD?i hope that made sense.

That's What phi is for actually.
>>331280064
Having a happy ending would be too predictable.
I think this game would be just fine if there were only around 1-4 survivors in the true ending.
You have to kill people to get the codes for the X door and they lose their memories every 90 minutes, so unless someone chops their left hand off early in the flowchart(carlos), the whole foil thing works to get the bracelet off or someone in one of the teams is a robot, I don't think there's a workaround for this.
Have we any information that the team leaders are morphogenetic?
>>331280546
>>331280559
They jump through realities to get the passwords. This means that there is at least 6 endings.
>>331275887he has the original Left's soul
Brother is a girl
>>331280546
At the very least, one of those twists probab;y will happen. I recall GOLM saying Hephaestus Systems (great play on words btw) was an old company by the time of VLR
How did Akane determine that Sigma had strong jumping abilities?
Also how did Sigam go from being a nomral college (graduate student) to participating in the Mars base simulation before all the jumping occurred?
>>331278239

>>331281086
ScotchHe says so himself in VLR. Rather, Quark points out that his favorite alcohol is in the lounge.
I wonder which of the five regions he prefers the most. Currently I like the Highland variety.
Junpei and Diana were somehow invilved in the setup of the mar simulation ased on VLR. Why junpei is now a participant and akane herself is now a participant is a question.
>>331281168
This does not answer my questions at all. I want to know how he goes from being a normal grad student to being on that mars simulation. This all happened naturally before the jumping began.
>>331281058
What story locks?
You don't actually expect any of the characters to remember things through different fragments, do you?
>>331281343
They probably will later on, because morphogenetic field bullshit
>>331277594
poor Q is in the worst situation, hot crazy girl and the ice cream man.
>>331281343
Wait, does this mean Zero is going to have to keep doing his little intro every 90 minute telling them they are in a game?
>>331281337
There is no "before the jumping began". Sigma always gets gassed and has his consciousness transported to the future, being replaced by his older self, who joins up with Akane to infiltrate the test site.
>>331281403
Who would even transmit that?
In 999,Akane told Junpei how to get the combination
In VLR, Sigma used his memory
In ZTD, no one is transmitting and their memories are being wiped every 1.5 hours
>>331281553
Blick, obviously
>>331281497
Alright then this goes back to my first question, how the hell did Akane scout Sigma as a powerful esper and genius scientist?
>'It's alright, kid, don't cry. When this is all over we'll grab some ice cream together, alright? It'll all be on me. Cheer up, little buddy. It'll all be okay. You're gonna live through this, I promise.'
>>331281343
>You don't actually expect any of the characters to remember things through different fragments, do you?
Did you not play VLR?
What's really, really suspicious to me is that we haven't seen any screenshots of the Flow page. I suspect that's becauseyou can reorganize the continuity of events like at the end of a Danganronpa case, but the events can be reconfigured to draw different conclusions. This also plays into the whole observer effect/schrodinger's cat shit VLR was into
>>331281650
Akane exists outside of time. She knew Sigma from later.
>>331281343
>>331281403
>>331281553Blick Winkel will remember
>>331281553the dog
>>331281463
Good point, the trailer suggests that there are TV's scattered throughout the facility. This lends to a sort of Saw vibe. Maybe he just presents the situation and offers 90 minutes to do it.
>>331281650
She has the Buddhist university professor on her side.
>>331281723
>>331281620
I guess that makes sense, Akane does tell us that he is the key to fixing this in VLR
>>331281734
holy cuck
>>331281712
Okay so she viewed one of the infinite timelines where he stumbles into unlocking esper powers or something?
Akane is on the verge of being bullshit.
>>331281650
she meet him on nevada test site or already saw him with esper powers
>>331281897
Sigma was gassed before the test.
>>331281650
She can look into timelines before they even happen. What I would like to know is how this went around the FIRST time. Sigma first needs to grow up and make the game.

I have played VLR.
A part of me just wishes that this Nonary Game will be genuine. No time travel, no morphogenetic fields, no Schrodinger's cat, nothing. Just an actual, genuine Nonary Game where each of the participants really do lose their memories after 90 minutes, and they would have to manage to escape somehow without any of those benefits..
I know this will definitely not happen, I just thought it would be incredibly interesting, don't you think?
>>331282000
Hahahhaha nope
>>331282080;^(
DAMN BRAT
>>331282000
I'm sure there will be some bad ends where this does happen.
>>331282000
I know what you mean. A real death game with real consequences.
I don't think we'll get a real death game, but we'll get real consequences if the bittersweet true end is legit. VLR tied up everything too nicely, 999 less so but still the same.
Since this is the last game, I think Uchi will be okay actually killing people off this time around permanently.
>>331282208
STOP
BULLSHITING
ME
>>331282000
It's going to be a wild ride, Anon. Just you wait.
>>331282248
>>331282000
I think the RNG element lends itself to the idea of a normal game and the only extraordinary action will be done through the player.
>>331282401
That's what I'm thinking.
I think ZTD has something to do with the fourth wall or something, with only the player knowing the answers while none of the characters know shit.
My nigga Sigma is going to solve all this, right ? He will tilt the timeline, right ? He is the only that can and is able to.
If not him, who else ?
>>331282624
Carlos.
Should I get the Vita or 3DS version, senpai?

The one with better controls, fampai.
You should wait until the demo comes out for both systems.

Haha, time for more affairs.

3DS
>>331282870
The 3Ds version won't have 3D mode, by the way.
>>331282673
Does Carlos posses psychic powers though ? At the level of Sigma.
>>331282790
I expect that to be the 3DS version, but didn't the 3DS version of VLR have worse visuals/music quality? (played the Vita version)
Either way, asking cause I have a watch edition for both vita and 3ds preordered and don't know which one to cancel
>>331282624
The dog.
I mean he's the only one we didn't see in the trailer right?That or he's the one who kills everyone in world because it unknowingly carries around radical 6 and causes it to spread
>>331282814
What if Kyle isn't a participant and is only a backup Sigma in case Sigma dies?
>>331282248
>last game
>killing people off permanently
Has Uchi ever done that in his previous works?God I hope the true end is more bitter than sweet, but I have a feeling it'll be a happy end as a token of appreciation for the fans.
>>331282913
Seriously? They must be putting a lot into this game if it won't allow for 3D. I would still get it for 3DS because there's a chance it could be Nintendo's first A rated game
>>331282978
You seriously don't think after the miracle that is this game's existence and all of Uchi's tweets that this game won't have a golden true happy end
>>331282959
Nevermind, Akane said he was sent to particiapte in the Test Site.
>>331282978
Yeah, R11 even though Nakazawa was the main writer
>>331282624
Q anon, the fucking q is always the key
>>331282978
>>331283095
> tear-jerkingly happy end
> the bring back 9-years or use something equally emotional
Plaudite, acta est fabula.
>>331282934
I think you should go with the Vita version then.
I think that's the platform Aksys Games are mainly developing for, so you should probably expect everything to be a bit more polished on the Vita.
It also has clearer voices and visuals, and seeing that the 3Ds's resolution is 240p, I don't think the cinematic sections would look/sound too great.it's based on personal preference though. they're both probably the same, so just go ahead and pick one
>>331283039
>>331282870
Are you retarded?
If the game is AO it wouldn't be sold on the eshop.
>>331282820
what's the significance of 18 and the airplane?
are we actually on an airplane this time?
>>331283346
If there were a deck of cards in the middle the Q would probably stand for Queen.
Is Phi giving us a hint to the last puzzle in ZTD?
Who would the Queen be?
>>331283404
The game is for sure going to be Z-rated (heh) in Japan. This means the U.S. version will be either M or A.
>>331283431All-ice.
>>331283428
Sigma is the 18th letter in the greek alphabet
>>331283517
It's M
There are far fucking worse, more violent games out there rated M.
So I guess at one point Sigma will have to lose his arms and eyes or else Diana dies.
>tfw i spent $200 on a vita just so I could play this game at an acceptable resolution
Am I retarded? Th-there are some good games on the vita right?
>>331283590
The All-Ice was actually Alice and she was put in All-Ice, but not actually Ice-9 so she could go to the future as Alice not All-Ice.
>watching a friend play 999 right now
>he's in the library
>one of the random assorted book titles is "The Golden Rabbit and the Moon"
>>331283707
Then why didn't you buy a Vita TV, you stupid chucklefuck?

Who am I to judge?
I agreed with his cause more than Link and Zelda's.
WW Ganondorf wanted to reclaim what the Goddesses had stolen from EVERYBODY. Zelda and Link wanted to keep living that shitty, nothing-but-sea life.
>>331283764
>vita tv
Is this a joke? That sounds very uncomfy
>>331270051
Christ, I hope Jumpy doesn't turn into an insufferable cunt during ZTD. Would feel weird getting screwed over by him since he was the protagonist in 999.
>>331283747
Considering the twists in VLR and how 99 was made independent of the following trilogy, I thought it was amazing how carefully they looked into the source material to come up with foreshadowing for the series.
>>331283891
999*
>>331283857
There's no reason to feel weird sincethat's not even Junpei. Why do you think his hair/eye color changed?
>>331283961
In the trailer his eyes are more brown than red.
>pirating it day 1 on my 3DS while the game arrives in the mail
>playing at night, with headphones, on bed
God damn I can't wait
>>331283707
All I can think of is Gravity Rush and P4 Golden
>>331283857
Of course he will.
If he had to choose between Carlos and Akane, who do you think he'll save?
>>331284042
> going to play at night
> in bed
> drunk
> headphones high volume
MAXIMUM IMMERSION
>>331284078
He may choose to save Carlos because probability just like the situation with Diana and Sigma
>>331283857
In 999, Junpei was willing to screw people over before getting jaded by Akane's manipulations.
My guess is he's this way because he remembers all the bad ends from 999and maybe VLRand is just fed up. The whole Junpei being perfectly parallel to Zero's shadow in the promo poster maybe implies that he's in on this game at least on a santa like level.
>>331284078
Yeah I hear you. The chances are probably high.
>>331283039
It's the opposite. The 3D doesn't work because they didn't put as much into fine-tuning the game this time. It's not like the visuals are anything too taxing for the 3DS to display.
Has it been explained why Akane and Junpei are even at this mars mission shit in the first place? Why would they willingly put themselves through more shit?
>>331283747
>>331283891
I can't wait to go back to VLR after ZTD and see what foreshadowing I can find outside of the obvious ones
>>331283747
You do know the rabbit on the moon is an actual legend in folklore, right?
>>331283857
>Would feel weird getting screwed over by him since he was the protagonist in 999.
Did you play VLR? Because he screws you over multiple times in that game.
>>331283428
Said this in an earlier thread, but, HAL-18 was an airplane that crashed in remember11. Probably a coincidence though.
>>331284432
Yes, that's what made it even better.
In 999, the library was just an info dump
Uchi looked so carefully into the writing for the previous game and made plot points that gave additional value to the first game even though it wasn't meant to be a trilogy originally.
If a newcomer played the series without knowing the split, he/she would think it was meant to be a trilogy from start to finish.
>Carlos pathetic dub scream
>Eric's halfassed performance
Yeah, this shit better have Jap audio.
>>331285062
Already confirmed dual audio on release fampai.
>>331285062
I actually prefer his scream in English over the JP audio. It sounds more manic and desperate to me. The JP scream just sounds like a generic scream to me.
>>331285150
Thank god for that.
>>331285062
>complaining about Eric and Carlos
By far the worst delivery was INTRESTING
Is there a TL:DR for what's happening to the new Zero Escape game?
I played 999 and VLR so long ago and haven't kept up with what's new
>>331285606
Replay them
Or stay for the stream we're going to do a month before the game releases
>>331285484
For that part I think we're just missing context.
>>331239375
>Home button
>solve puzzle from the standby screen
Wow, that was easy.
>>331285987
>use home button
>game knows you cheated
There are games that know you use the home button, you know.
>>331286405
If that happens, I'd applaud.
>>331258689
Can't unsee
