Phew. Just marathoned the hell out of this thread over the past few days. Good stuff from Fedule and seeing audience reactions to all the plot points is pretty amusing. Looking forward to following along in real time now.

The Director's Office should be a fun treat. :v:

I have some bad news for you if you're hoping to finish this game before 2020 or so.

Hah! I've been through the entire game on my own anyways so I'm good. Will be fun to see if he beats ZE3 release or not at any rate.

Quark's letter is my favorite scene in the game.

Seconded. It's just such a heartwarming thing to read and really puts into perspective why Tenmyouji is so adamant about protecting Quark no matter what, even when it means being a shady dickwad to Sigma.

Now I want a root beer float. :unsmith:

During the room sequence in there Sigma comments that it looks like a weird roomba but doesn't seem to have any way to turn it on. It's probably hooked up to the network Zero Jr. is on so it could be turned on at any point when desired.

A more interesting bet would be if he finishes this LP before an LP of Zero Time Dilemma is made and finished. :v:

The reaction to this one was good, but there's another one I'm personally looking forward to.

I bet it's the same one I'm looking forward to. :unsmigghh:

You're doing great work as always Fedule I'm so happy this got revived. It's been a pleasure sitting back and watching people react to this game's insanity.

He's wearing essentially an auto mechanic jumpsuit. I dunno about anarchy but at least the woman silhouette and the skull with wings are things that evoke a car garage.

This was always one of the more disturbing game overs to me. Peeps drug a dude and cut off his loving hand and just leave him locked up alone. That's loving cold.

It would've been out of character (mostly) for Sigma but I still always wish he had just held on and let Dio's foot get crushed.

This is the ending I'd been waiting for all these years. I still can't listen to Blue Bird Lamentation without tearing up because of this drat ending. It's just so... unfair.

I can only hope that it has the same impact for the people reading it in LP format.

Yeah all things considered Luna and Quark both are kind of hosed even though they escaped.

Luna will probably be unable to go very far away from the facility and that's assuming she doesn't get shut down for her disobedience just like the proper ending route. And even THEN, she still got injected so her ABT is gonna melt off and probably give Quark a heart attack.

In all of the above scenarios Quark is screwed and pretty much on his own... assuming he actually wakes up and doesn't go batshit from Radical 9.

Now I'm trying to think if there's anything that would've hinted at everyone operating at super-slow-mo the entire time. Was gravity ever a factor in anything? If you dropped an object and saw it just instantly plop onto the ground you'd probably think something was strange.

We're lucky Luna is so nice because watching everyone taking an eternity to do anything sounds exasperating.

Back after doing the Lounge when they are discussing the article about Radical-6 they start talking about whether it's possible they have it or not. Phi and Sigma both mention how they feel sluggish and their bodies & movement just feel off and strange, but they can never really put a finger on how to explain it or why they feel that way.

Oh hey this section conveniently brought up that snippit from the Lounge I mentioned earlier about Phi feeling like her body is off. :v:

I forget if Fedule ever showed it in gifs through the LP but here's where I point out that during a lot of transitions into new scenes there's a unique little animation like a screen flickering online.

That wasn't just a fun little animation.

It was Sigma's bionic eye blinking.

Fantastic to see this LP finally reaching the end. Been great to see everyone's reactions to everything over all this time, and sincere thanks to Fedule for the no-doubt gargantuan amount of effort you've put into this thing. Strange to think how long it's been, since I've been following this LP since the beginning.

Since we've all been recently talking about fun bits of foreshadowing that had been missed, here's one that a friend pointed out to me after I'd finished the game back when it came out:

Remember waaaaay back in the Director's Lounge, when you find that Tenmyouji has a picture of Akane? Here's some lines from that room's escape sequence.


The original line in the Tenacious D song they're referencing is "That's telekinesis, Kyle".


Intentional from the translation team, or a funny little coincidence? I dunno donno, but I'd like to think it's on purpose!

I'm sure it was brought up at the time since it's probably obvious but that little bit may also be a friendly jab towards Dangan Ronpa. :v:

I'm probably stretching it to be fair, which is why I say "may be". I know when I was playing the game myself and saw mention of shooting things with mind bullets my brain went there.

Probably a case of just having something on the brain rather than an intentional bit.
