I thought the implication of Aiba reconstructing herself was that Iris' delusion of Wadget being a crazy alien technology was more real than anyone realized. Is that not the takeaway I was supposed to have?

Also, I seem to have completely missed out on the dialogue about LGBT people that has the chuds in a tizzy. Where was it?

Okay, some more thoughts from finishing the game:

Just as it should, Hitomi's arm has been healed by the power of dance.

I assumed the dance sequence was just a silly noncanon thing, but then they started talking to each other after it was over, which implies to me that Aiba must have made herself known pretty soon after Saito's death, except everyone decided to spend 3 months recruiting people and rehearsing the dance for Date's surprise. (also, lol @ "by the way everyone, the reason you can all see me is *everyone starts talking loudly over Aiba*")

Truth serum appears to work in this universe extremely perfectly, based on that one scene, so what is even the point of ABIS and Psyncing at all?

I don't think you can miss any endings other than the receptionist one, and the few bad endings you get from making the wrong choices--which aren't worth trying to get. For the receptionist, when you're running all over town looking for someone with a bum leg, flirt with the receptionist. She'll take you up on your offer and you'll suddenly just get an ending.

For the memories, I think most of the plot-relevant memories could be written off as him just remembering things from his past, and you can just ignore the few times it's mentioned for comedy. But you can also just assume he remembers for the same reason the characters of his other games do... Maybe it's time for you to play the Zero Escape trilogy. :)

I still can't believe Aiba was saved by the blockchain

It's weird how the police just sit on this bodyswapping machine and only use it sometimes to peep someone's dream. Like this poo poo would pretty much turn the entire society upside down, and they keep it in a basement like it's nothing. I also don't get why Saito swapped with Falco in the first place.

My favorite thing was finding out that there was actually another prototype machine in the world and it was being developed by... the Chiba Police Department?

I just finished this tonight. I think the way they handled Aiba coming back could have been better. Her cloud backups were deleted, but there were still fragments of her data out there that were put back together? I thought that it was going to be that when Boss knocked you out and hooked you up to the psync machine, that they were extracting your memories of Aiba and using those to reconstruct her. I think that would have been more interesting, but maybe that's just because it's my idea.

Also, I really liked Iris's conspiracy theories about the Wadjet system and Naix. I don't know if that was an original idea or they cribbed that from somewhere, but the idea of an AI manipulating civilizations to spread itself throughout the universe was interesting and could be a game plot of its own.

My interpretation of it was that Iris' conspiracy theories were at least somewhat correct and that Aiba reconstituted herself through the magic of Naix. Also I personally think that Aiba came back almost immediately but held off on telling Date so she could recruit everyone to rehearse a song and dance number for three months.

Uchikoshi on some questions about the story. However I refuse to accept that Hitomi moving her arm is mere fantasy. She was healed with the power of music.
