I'm slightly disappointed we have a dog friend instead of a cat friend. Because the latter would prompt more quantum physics lessons with Phi and more terrible cat puns from Sigma.

Seriously those were some of the best parts of VLR.

Maybe they're setting up a theme of behavioral conditioning where Phi can give us a lecture on Pavlov and his dogs. :v:

In other ideas, my crackpot theory for the game is that Q is Quark somehow from the future with amnesia. How? Who the gently caress knows, mystery science. :science:

I am all kinds of fascinated by the amnesia element of this game, but it's also making me sort of apprehensive?

Like, imagine watching Memento except instead of the scenes playing out in reverse they're just randomly shuffled throughout the film

I feel like I'm going to have to play the entire game twice to even understand what happened

It specifically says "shounen" on his character profile in the first post, so yeah.

Also shame on all the people voting for "dog" in the poll. Can't you recognize a funyarinpa when you see it? :colbert:

I'm so hyped for this game, for the longest time I thought it wouldn't get made at all. I've already asked for four days off from work for when it gets released.

Am I correctly remembering that (VLR) Akane suggested there was a way for Clover and Alice to physically return to the past by abusing Schrodinger's cat? Did they explain that? The best I can figure is "until you step outside, you can't be sure you're really in the future; it's equally probable that everyone here is an actor and it's still present day so why don't you go outside and collapse the function"

As much as it sucks for Carlos and Diana being an awkward third wheel to two people who know way more than them, I feel really bad for Q for being stuck with two complete loving nutbars (considering Eric slinging around a shotgun like a loving idiot, and Mira being soaked in blood and smiling in the trailer)

Poor kiddo :(

Akane did that, and i thought part of this game was helping tie up how to go about it

altho it was during that weird epilogue bit iirc so it might just have been words

That's exactly it. There was enough fan outcry for Spike Chunsoft to act, and the fact that they're more tailoring this release for the western market seems to show that, because the series has always been way more popular overseas than it has been in Japan.

"Lady with Huge Chest" is a character archetype that has been in every ZE game. At the very least, the first was pretty cool and the second, while being Alice, was at least intelligent.

I wouldn't be too concerned about Mila. :)

Or they open the containment pods early, and it turns out the Clover and Alice we saw at Rhizome 9 were actually their descendants or GAULEM duplicates or something.

So we have two of the participants who were close before being thrown into the deadly game. And we have one of these people going nuts and threatening people in the trailer. This seems a lot like Snake and Clover, or Alice and Clover.

If pattern recognition tells me anything, it's that Mira will probably be one of the first to go. That would certainly explain why Eric is going froot-loops in his scenes. In the absence of an actual Clover, he's probably going to be the Clover of this game.

In a surprise twist, Eric is actually just Clover in a really fancy spy disguise deep undercover.

Because she would be stupid enough to get caught in 4 death games.

Aaaaanyways... Moving on.

I'm replaying/rereading 999 and I have a question:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but why didn't anyone try some medical trickery to slow their heart rate to zero and then revived themselves to remove their bracelet? There is a freezer and a medical bay, it could have been worth a shot considering one of the two conditions of removing the bracelet was to have a heart rate of zero, not necessarily being dead.

Wasn't the heart rate thing a VLR plot point? I know that comes up and they briefly consider taking turns in the cryopods to get the bracelets off but the pods have been shut off once the crew all go to the treatment center.

I don't remember if it's also a thing in 999 but... presumably none of them had extensive medical knowledge to consider the option or be confident enough to try anything?
