Okay I'm on a media blackout now besides the first trailer. I'm done.
I think this is also worth posting.

Everything about this game sounds amazing, I hope they really let Uchikoshi do whatever he wanted this time around.
How much of a chance is there that we will get the game first or at least the same day as Japan? I mean, supposedly the game is being made because of the west being crazy about it.

I have a few things to say and things to theorize, but I'll keep it short.
Also, there is a lot of potential for a Ever17-esque situation, so SPOILER for Ever17.
I said it! We'll see how it turns out! 
Q=Quark is way too obvious. But we'll see. It's obvious that Uchikoshi knows that we would make that assumption right away.
Having three separate groups is the perfect playground for letting us believe that the three stories happen at the same time, while there will FOR SURE be some time-related shenanigans, especially with team Q, which could probably be located in another time.
Or, actually, team C...
Akane doesn't know what happens in the Nevada test site. Junpei was... Involved with the project... It all seems too convenient. The player needs to be tricked into thinking that these 9 people are in the same place at the same time, while the real group C might be an entirely different one.

HYPE!

This .gif was in a lot of forums in my signature for a long time. Funny to see it here again.
I think I can top that, given I'm the one who made it! Pretty funny to see it crop up again.

So I'm guessing the 'cinema part' will replace the characters standing still while talking with something like the cut-scenes from a Zelda game where you have to push a button to advance the text on the screen as it's voice acted through a cut-scene.
If that's the case it sounds amazing!

No don't tempt meeeeee
Well it's an amazing gif. I saw it here a long time ago but didn't realize you made it!
Also it's completely accurate.

I agree with you here.
I've seen the characters and speculated with you guys but have tried the best I can to avoid other information

I know that, but still somehow I can see it releasing first in Japan... I'LL KEEP THE HOPE ALIVE!

I wonder if the three teams will only be teams for the escape rooms? Similar to in VLR except the teams don't change this time.
Like others have said, I hope we still get to see all of them mingle with each other and not be separated too much.

Everything so far sounds pretty interesting. Still miss the old art style tho but oh well
????
I'm confused...

Another edit that had to be done because this is going to be all of us that for one reason or another couldn't pre-order >__<
I'm confused...
Also, the fucking apocalypse happened.
Carlos may not be a Left clone. At least it makes no sense he has a sister if he is...
Also Tenmyouji had some dickish Betray moments in VLR.

I'm really curious to see how
the typical gameplay plot twist will work this time around. I can't see Uchikoshi giving Diana, Q, or Carlos the same abilities as Junpei, and especially not Phi and Sigma since that would defeat the whole purpose. That leads me to wonder if they'll actually have any special abilities to discover at all. If they do, it'll definitely be gameplay relevant though.

Actually, I was thinking more of a Heavy Rain-like approach. Minus the QTE.
It would be cool if we could control our character in 3rd person during the "novel/cinematic" sections.
It sure sounds like they're not holding him back:
HYPE!
Going back to that horror roots!
Yeah I'm the same here with the media blackout. Knowing the characters and seeing the art is too much already. I went into the first two completely blind and was pleasantly surprised by how the story hooked me in.
Need to somehow forget about this until it actually comes out. Been waiting ages for this.
I would love some more horror elements.

I hope Quark gets some kind of backstory in this though. I felt like his presence in VLR was way too insignificant. I only saw him as a motivator for Junpei's votes in the prisoner's dilemma. I was so confused on why he was even included in VLR by the end. I thought he was a clone at one point.
I assume you're on a media blackout
I just double checked the op and now I feel stupid. Carry on!

I'm pretty sure that WAS his sole reason.

I thought I couldn't be more excited for this game. I'm definitely going on full blackout after the first trailer.

so does anybody know if this "ultimate choice" is a gameplay mechanic a la ambidex game or some crazy turning point in the middle of the game?

VLR Spoiler
Maybe Kyle's consciousness (you) can transfer between Diana, Q and Carlos. If you remember the extra ending of VLR, Old Akane said to Kyle (?): "Only you can help them"

She didn't say it to Kyle, she said it to ?. That's a huge difference.

Thanks, that's reassuring. Though I just checked and apparently the break's actually pretty much just one week. I'll do my best, lol. There's a lot of other easier games I could knock out quicker though, but Zero Escape...

Sad to see Snake isn't among the participants, but then I wasn't really expecting him to anyway. Hoping for a Cameo still though

It's probably the former. I think he's talking in general.
You poor soul. What are you doing with your life?! :V

Seven Minutes. Seven Minutes is all we have to escape. xD
At this point they can probably crank out content pretty efficiently and that remaining 20% probably isn't exclusively time-consuming content creation. So they might actually be pretty close to having a content-complete game and will just use the rest of the time remaining on polishing the experience, QA & making some small changes at most.
