Cindy Robinson is having the goddamn time of her life playing a psychotic little rabbit, and it is amazing. :allears:

Yeah, seriously. Zero III in English is amazing already. :swoon:

Can't wait to hear the rest of the cast, but hopefully they're not all the obvious usual anime VA standbys. I mean, I don't watch all that much, but I could tell that the white haired lady was voiced by Karen Strassman from her very first line.

I might watch SGF's stream VODs so I can quickly catch up

For reference, I dunno how you define "quickly" but 23 videos that average out at about 1 hour long each isn't what I'd call quick. :v:

The "novel" in "visual novel" isn't just for show. These things are really long.

Voice Actor recap:
Phi - Nanako
Dio - Akihiko
Tenmyouji - Dojima
Quark - Chie
Luna - Rise
Clover - Sayoko
Robot man - Theodore
Alice - Elizabeth
Zero - Labrys

Sigma - Kanji

...Just not in the game itself. Which is a damned shame, because Troy Baker is always amazing.

Literally all I get from her so far is that she's a meek, 'nice' character. The only reason she's interesting is because people in the thread are practically holding up signs saying 'Guess what she's gonna be GREAT.'

Yeah, from what we've seen so far I'd say that she's probably the worst character. Everyone else has something interesting or noteworthy about them, but Luna's just... there.

Oh, gently caress you game, you made that exact same joke last game. :mad: (That and the sofa musical note joke)

And the stuff relating to drinks too. I'm kinda surprised no one suggest whacking Sigma over the head with the drinks dispenser, rather than the infomercial skit the way the rest of the room was going.

assume Clover wouldn't do it again all else being equal (like if K tricked her in round 1) she'd still have an incentive to betray (Dio will probably betray Luna and escape without her if she doesn't get to 9).

Considering how Dio's shown himself to be kind of a giant asshat, why would he suddenly care about either Clover or Luna now? :psyduck:

Except that Dio, K or Quark could get 9 this very round and then leave immediately. That's a very big problem!

Okay, the power armor is understandable (well, maybe not, but...) but why is K wearing clothes over his power suit?

Why not? If I had sweet armour, I'd put on a cool mantle as well. Just a shame it's only half of one.

Similar logic suggests AM might be Aksys Model if you're right about Y-UKO, which suggests GTF-AM-3-65V and GTM-AM-S-510 as possibly other Aksys staff. Er... if there are only two then they have to be Ben Bateman and Nobara Nakayama, except I can't really see how that makes any sense, so something here isn't right (it might be me).

It's probably a Japanese number pun. If there's anything I know about Japanese developers, it's that they love shortening their names into number puns somehow.

So would an ending where we straight-up died be better or worse?

I think it's very slightly better. It just feels like less of a kick in the teeth somehow. In both instances, you're being punished for doing something wrong when there's not necessarily much of an indication that it is wrong but at least dying has a sense of closure to it even if you don't get all the answers.

The .gifs of the passwords went as far as 'cur' and 'fou' ...'CURE FOUND'?

"CURED" for the regular solution and "FOUND" for the hidden files one.

As for the GIFs themself, they both played all the way through the solutions on my end, for whatever that's worth.

I think that the problem with the "get a Game Over, then immediately go back and do the other option" is that it means there's no point in having the initial vote in the first place.

FYI, "tu fui, ego eris" does show up on gravestones IRL. I don't know if it was more common in certain time periods (some old Roman saying or more modern folk being pretentious by using Latin) but I've actually seen it on an old gravestone. It's a reminder of mortality, "I used to be a person, you're gonna be a corpse."

Yeah, it's not that uncommon or unlikely. I would think it comes from something along the lines of the stock memento mori thing;

"Remember man as you pass by.
As you are now, so once was I.
As I am now you will be.
Prepare for death and follow me."

Anyway, we have to vote Ally. We promised.

You heard Luna. We can get to 9 if we Betray and Phi doesn't. The opposite of course is true. Voting to Betray means that in the worst case scenario, we just stay where we are and in the best case we can just leave if we wanted to.

Or, to put it simply, voting Ally here is the wrong choice to make unless you want Phi to win for some reason.

e; I'd be more surprised if Phi hadn't realised that by now, honestly. She's probably going to betray for similar reasons anyway.

Minor thing, but on the Cyan door path on both Betray and Allying with Alice, you mention Alice twice. As in, with Sigma and Phi where she actually was but also with Dio and Quark where Luna was.

The third Zero Escape game is coming to PC, and I wouldn't be surprised if a port of 999/VLR end up there given DR's success.

I do have to wonder how they'll deal with 999's whole thing with the DS platform though between the ending and the general story integration

The same way they dealt with it in the iOS version: excise the actual gameplay stuff wholesale and hope it still works out fine.
