...Okay, Clover, what the HELL happened to your outfit? You are not Yoko from Gurren Laggen, stop it.

And I know we had this discussion in the 999 thread, but can we assume that Alice is the mummy from the end?

Have you tried walking in a desert donning Alice's clothing?

Jeek posted:

It is not something you want to wear in a desert. This implies that Alice does not intend to be in the desert in the end of 999, i.e. she escapes VLR and runs right into the 999 survivor's jeep.

I'm listening to the Japanese voicing for the first time, and I can't help but notice that pretty much all of the English writing and proper nouns ("Ambidex Room," "Pair," "Solo," "Nonary Game: Ambidex Edition," "Two Milkmen Go Comedy!") is still rendered and spoken by the characters in English. Speaking as someone who has no real familiarity with Japanese language media, is this common? Is the audience expected to know enough English to be able to follow along with what the phrases mean and the characters rearranging the letters?

Also, wow, Tenmyouji sounds totally different in the Japanese voices. Instead of a grumpy old dude he sounds like a doddering senior citizen.

June and Moon are common rhyming words, and Luna is the diminuative of Lunar, which refers to the Moon.

Anyway, I guess the bracelet numbers are only relevant to the exit this time. The question still remains, how exactly do BP work? There are only six Ambidex Rooms; if they gave 1 BP each, one person would have to get all the keycards to get to 9, which seems unlikely. Do they give more, or is there some way to transfer points (and if so, can it be done unwillingly)?

Maybe it was stupid to hope that the game would be a little less crazy and less anime than 999?

Further notes: I've done the prisoners dilemma before. I managed to derail it with logic and the words "I know where you live." Then again I was also voted "Most likely to snap and murder someone."

Something that's been bothering me for a while now:







It can't be that obvious. I wonder if this is intentional?

Sytakan posted:

Well it's either that, or they do that crazy cliche dream-thing where the masked stranger removes the mask and turns out to be you all along!

We were all in the same boat there.

The fact that G-OLM's voice actor is uncredited makes me think it's one of the credited voice actors playing a second role. I can't prove anything, and I'm afraid of spoiling myself if I dig any deeper, but my money is on J.B. Blanc, the voice of Tenmyouji. He grew up in Yorkshire and he plays a lot of brash, working-class characters, but I haven't found an example of him doing a cockney accent specifically.

This reminds me. 25-30 hours is about the average time reported by people who finish the game.

Currently, the timer on my 3DS file (ie, the one where I rush through puzzle rooms and leave the dialogue on auto-advance) is at about 3:30:00.

Y'know, just for some perspective.

Calibur.
Obviously a reference to Excalibur. Right? Right?
English these days, can't get anyone to spell things right.

And what is that show? I see nothing by that title on Google.

Speedball posted:

So did G-OLM speak in a Kansai accent or something in Japanese?

Color Printer posted:

So even if he was holding the key all this time, he never would have figured it out.

There's actually another there.

Bruceski posted:

Well in the last game Lotus was some sort of half-genie computer wizard. That's not something you see often either.

Sigma's from California.

So what you're saying is that this is all Miss Frizzle's fault somehow?

Bitch!


Bitch!!


And now we don't even get to dodge her in this round?
BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITCH!!!

gently caress this poo poo, I'm voting betray even if she takes every single other player hostage.

ApplesandOranges posted:

Which is why I'd have loved for the scene after the Ally decision to have continued for a bit longer - if we could see Alice's reaction to Sigma's death that would be very telling.

I find it funny that people still think that sprites are cheaper than 3D models. If you're working at a very low resolution, maybe, but either way, 3D models only have a big initial cost of making and rigging the model, and animations (at least, VN style animations) cost barely anything after that, while sprites have cost associated with each unique animation frame.
