Still watching the ending to this, the "I'm home" "Welcome back" ("tadaima"/"okaeri", naturally) destroys me every single time. Uchikoshi mentioned in some interviews that he trusted the team he was working with more on this game, so maybe that is why it has such a strong emotional core while still delivering the twists you'd expect from his work? Whatever the reason, it's just a really good game, a huge leap forward from the Zero Escape series which I liked a lot.

They also had to wait for Hitomi to heal from her secret surgery to let her move her arm so she could participate in the dance properly. :v:

disappointingly, three months was not long enough to perform a cape-ectomy on Pewter so he could participate without his model clipping all over the place

Even Iris's singing? :colbert:

Iris's singing is perfect because it reinforces a central theme of the game: sometimes, the people you love will embarrass you, and that's okay.

Seriously, though, I was ruined enough to listen to the Japanese ending dance, and it gave me a slightly better dopamine hit initially, but I think it works less well because it's a more polished performance. Iris's amateurish intro just works better with the spontaneous escalation of the last sequence. "tadaima"/"okaeri" is better than "i'm home/welcome back" though (and hopefully harder to totally miss the callback on!).
