if you think about it though, 999's true ending was a hot mess and
DAY 1

[Dark Schala]

YESSSSS! GOTY!

I remember giving 999 my GotY 2010 when it was released in North America. I enjoyed it that much.

I wonder if VLR will have the same effect on me, lol.

[Combine]

Any word yet on the english VA's?

I'm guessing they aren't going to have English VA's and just use subtitles like Aksys did with Hakuoki.

Anyone know what differences there are between the 3DS and Vita besides image quality?

[TimeKillr]

I own both handhelds.

I will buy both versions. I don't give a shit - this game deserves to be double-dipped.

[Ken]

Awesome. Will get on Vita, but might pick up a 3DS copy just because.

edit: yay new avatar.

[angelfly]

The game is just as good as 999. Only about 4 hours in but so far I haven't been disappointed at all. Good to see this is coming over with dual audio/language support. I wish more games would do that. If I do end up getting a Vita I'll definitely double dip.

If you check out the PR, it mentions the game will have the option of both English voices and Japanese voices :)

So best of both worlds for all to enjoy! :D

you didn't read OP! *watch explodes*

[dallow_bg]

Buying both.

[Boney]

dual audio yesssssss

[Hylian7]

dual audio yesssssss

Ironic avatar quote.

If only those games had dual audio.

[vitacola]

Go, Rising Star, go!
Still no answer to the email I sent them ...

[Akselziys]

you didn't read OP! *watch explodes*

Actually the "bracelets" this time don't have bomb detonators, but needles that inject you and do awful things/kill you >.<

[R_thanatos]

yyyyeeeaaahhh
Vita version for me .

Dual languages ? Excellent !!

[giggas]

Hype levels through the roof. Would probably get on Vita if I owned one, but 3DS all the way for me.

So glad to see this coming. Also, now that 999 is known as a Zero Escape game, does that mean there will be a reprinting of it for that name on there? Just curious.

dammit, why did i highlight spoilers >.<

[kaizenmx]

Good.

Please tell me we get to finally find out the identity of Zero.

Because last game was a fucking retarded for not revealing it.

But I've always assumed it was the girl

[Tricky I Shadow]

Glad you're so ecstatic :D! Also, the art in your avatar always makes me smile ;)

You bet my friend. Absolutely can not wait for this! Very excited!

Any chances of this making its way to Europe? Any insider info?!

[Akselziys]

dammit, why did i highlight spoilers >.<

Haha, you learn that pretty early on, so not to worry :)

[Akselziys]

Good. Please tell me we get to finally find out the identity of Zero. Because last game was a fucking retarded for not revealing it. But I've always assumed it was the girl

Umm, but you do find out Zero's identity in 999 in the true ending ;)

[vitacola]

Did you really play 999 or just got one ending and put it back into your shelf?

[Infernal Monkey]

Yeeesss! <3 Will import the Vita version~

[kaizenmx]

WTF? really? I did get the true ending, but I think I missed the hint there...

[Akselziys]

We can't comment on that at this time ;)

Also, if anyone wants to talk about 999, please make sure to spoiler tag your posts so that people who have yet to play it aren't spoiled :)

[LiK]

wat, how did you miss it?

[Thoraxes]

It's put pretty blunty who it is.....

Guys, 999 is totally [spoiler]awesome[spoiler/]

[vitacola]

Unlockable confirmed :P

Oh, and please talk to Rising Star about Europe, okay? ;)

[Instro]

WTF? really? I did get the true ending, but I think I missed the hint there...

Uhh its not hinted, the game outright tells you. You sure you got the true ending?

[InsaneZero]

I don't have this yet but I'm pretty sure this will be the GoTY to end all GoTY.

Hyperbole aside, I really hope that giving the series a name implies more coming down the pipeline. A man can dream, can't he?

[kaizenmx]

The convoluted time travel/another dimension didn't help me understand the plot.

edit: sry for not marking spoiler

[Tricky I Shadow]

WTF? really? I did get the true ending, but I think I missed the hint there...

Errrrr......it was -----June-----

EDIT: Mark your spoiler! o_0

[kaizenmx]

But June ends up dying in one of the ending. Does that mean Zero is also vulnerable just like anyone else?

[Akselziys]

Spoilers

Please mark your spoilers, if you can :)

[Omikaru]

A big thanks to Aksys for a Vita retail version. Us importers would be lost without you. :)

Now I just have to wait for it to appear on VG+...

[LiK]

Discuss 999 spoilers HERE. don't wanna turn this whole announcement thread into a big wall of black bars.

[R_thanatos]

The convoluted time travel/another dimension didn't help me understand the plot.

you missed too many lines then ..they spent too many moments préparing for that mecanic to call it convulted..
i suggest you to replay the true end and pay attention because things are properly explained

EDIT: spoilers because it is one

[bernardobri]

I knew you'd be pleased ;)

Both versions will feature dual-audio?

[Tricky I Shadow]

Akselziys - Do you know if this will make its way to Europe? If you don’t know anything yet what do you personally think the chances are?

[Ken]

Please mark your spoilers, if you can :)

Any word on when Amazon will get the game listed so we can pre-order?

[Jmac71]

I want a release with a replica watch. :)

[Akselziys]

Both versions will feature dual-audio?

Yup, that is correct :)

Any word on when Amazon will get the game listed so we can pre-order?

Hopefully as early as tomorrow~

I'll be sure to post here when links are available ;)

If I did or did not know, unfortunately I couldn't say either way >.<

[Javier]

EDIT: nvm

Still, HYPED.

[RyougaSaotome]

The only way you could miss who Zero was in 999 is if you didn't read the last 20 minutes of the true end. They just tell you outright and there isn't really any room for debate.

As for Virtue's Last Reward? Well... 20 hours in and I still have no goddamn clue.

I got a bad end last night that was lol-worthy.

As for whether playing this without 999 would be detrimental to the experience; you should play 999. It's not... necessary, I guess. But you'll be losing out on a lot. You'll still enjoy the game but you'll be missing a few other layers of awesome.

[BlazingDarkness]

WTF? really? I did get the true ending, but I think I missed the hint there...

the fuck :lol

But June ends up dying in one of the ending. Does that mean Zero is also vulnerable just like anyone else?

I think you need to play the game again :lol

QUIET YOU!

[Boney]

Wonder what they mean by "endings"

I don't think I'll have the heart to get 24 regular endings that's for sure.

dammit, i miss Missile. anyway, use a guide if you have to, i guess.

[RyougaSaotome]

Lol-worthy in an lol sort of way.

Any more explaining would be spoilers.

Also, there are points in the different routes where you cannot proceed unless you've progressed in another route.

I've been playing 20 hours, just naturally following the flow and trying to unlock previous routes that cut out on me because I didn't have enough info or the right clue.

The game is designed in such a way that you'll be moving to different routes rather than just sticking to one the whole time. For those of you nervous that it breaks the flow? Don't worry. It doesn't The route hopping is tied into the story
