Foul villain! I do not flee. I will never turn my back on you and run away!

I get that they're going for some kind of not-quite-silent-protagonist/you are the protagonist sort of thing with Sigma, but dammit, I will not forgive the fact that deciding to make him voiceless in-game meant we ended up with one less Troy Baker role in the world. :colbert:

In all seriousness, I am so ready for this after 999 had me :f5:ing all the way through the climax, and I'll...third? fourth? fifth, the love for Zero III's voice so far. I'm not going to say they've taken cues from Monobear, but after the last game it is extremely jarring but amazing to see the mastermind being so...cheery.

That may be less VLR and more Fedule.

Fedule rivals Geop for his love of pun-gent humor.

What's so weird about the idea that Alice was gassed and abducted just like everyone else for a new Nonary Game a year after 999? Let's try a little Occam's Razor here.

Putting my bets on Nijisaki. Because morphogenetic fields. Somehow. :colbert:

In all seriousness, I'm not going to speculate anything because I'm terrible at that sort of thing, but I will submit that I really like Travis Willingham's reads here. He just sounds like the chillest creepy armor dude...and I have to admit, he sounds pretty much exactly how I imagined Snake would sound.

If 999 proved anything it's that everything is so much greater when you build up to the crazy instead of just starting with it.

My guess is that Luna/magenta will be the best way to ease us into the crazy.

Maybe if that's still the case at a predetermined time, you should do a tiebreaker so that the poll doesn't remain open awkwardly long...

I think we might need a gif or something of this process considering how many people are complaining about it.

Judging from the last bit of K/Clover and Alice's conversation, I would have been much more interested to hear their argument than Dio/Quark and Tenmyouji's.

Dio is being an incredibly transparent conman, which means that it seems way too obvious for a game in the same series as 999 and the same developer as Dangan Ronpa, which means that maybe there's a bit of truth to his accusations, which means that maybe that's exactly what the writer is expecting of us which means--

--...eh, I don't know. I guess we'll see!

...Also, something's that's bugging me:

Why can't we see Sigma in these shots? Is that important, or is that the game specifically taking every possible measure to anonymize Sigma, to the extent of not showing not only his face and his voice, but his model?

Even to the extent of not including them in group shots, huh?

So no water with the theory that Sigma is actually some sort of tangible ghost and is occasionally sneaking away from the group to give us, the player, these cinematic group shots.

I'm still working my way very slowly through the game (MGR Revengeance arrived via Gamefly around the same time), but I can say it was the best way I could've spent the free $30 I got from registering SMT4 and Fire Emblem.

I'm trying to get my way through this path before we reach the end so I can start getting to the new stuff, but I get the feeling Fedule is going to finish it off before I get there.

Also I'm slow at video games, which is weird because this is a visual novel how can you be slow at a visual novel.

Yeah, you can ally with Luna, see the next scene, say "what would happen if I betrayed" and hop over to check it before going back to continue the ally path.

...Motherfucker. That's how Phi knows everything, isn't it? She's just playing Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward within Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward.

It's VLRception. Vlirception. Valirception? I don't know how to pronounce it.

What. What are you. What are you doing.

No, stop. Stop, Sigma. Stop, please. :staredog:

(Weirdly, I'm pretty sure I played this room on easy mode and got stuck on this puzzle, as I always do with the sliding puzzles, and I don't remember that at all. Maybe I blocked it from my memory :tinfoil:)

The ending is pretty lame in how quickly it proceeds to Rocks Fall Everyone Dies, but for me it was the second ending I got after Dio, and it was late at night, so I still didn't really have the best of ideas what was going on and it was 1 in the morning. Didn't sleep at all. I think I ended up playing something like Lego City at 4 in the morning just so I could fill my mind with goofy Lego people instead of everyone dead in a bloody suicide pile. :shepicide:
