It's also for sale on our web store for $19.99 (s/h included): http://li.brari.us/buy999
We only ship to the US, though, so Amazon is probably a better bet for international people.

I think I'll play this after VLR. Hopefully it won't be a disappointment compared to the greatness that is the Zero Escape franchise.
Also, Mr. Birdy, any news today?

Hmmm... The site's not updated yet. I thought t was usually around this time every week, right?
Is it a sign of something coming?!? O.O Or perhaps, I'm just impatient... >.>

Wut. I have Lovefilm, where's my voucher?
I hope it wasn't packaged in a disc envelope, because I ignore all the leaflets I get.I had assumed the whole game was dubbed. I'd never even considered otherwise.
Interesting point.
That's why I'm getting the Vita version. Bigger text, clearer screen. Just have to find a decent capacitive stylus...

The novel parts are all completely voiced (except for Sigma). The escape parts have no voiced lines.
Just to expand on that, for those that haven't played the demo yet, Sigma doesn't have a voice but has blips and bleeps like all the characters in 999 had.
Also, in the Escape parts, all the characters are voiced with blips and bleeps, just like in 999.
So a bit of nostalgia there for you all

So... Akselziys. Any reason the site didn't update yet? I hope Birdy's bath isn't using up all the hot water that normally powers the stie's updater.
Quick! Someone get some coal for the steam engine!

Awesome! K is definitely one of my favs going into this.
Just a heads up though, the link on the main page where it says: "K Profile Unlocked" The link leads me to the VLR demo site on the Playstation website. >.>
I find Ever17 to be a bit stronger as a plot than 999, I guess it's a result of it being a visual novel and just being like 30 hours of text. The situation was a bit similar to 999 but the twists much crazier.
I must play this game now.

Realized midway thru my first playthrough of 999 looking at a FAQ that I'm pretty much locked into getting the "Knife" ending. Should I just restart? -_-
No go thru with it. You want every ending.
No, the point of 999 isn't to win, it's the story.

Nah, Knife is a fairly good ending to get first. I suggest
**Minor spoilers for the ending names**
Knife -> Sub -> Axe -> Safe -> True/Coffin
At least, that's the way I'm doing it right now, and I'm loving it! In that order, the endings get better and better, imo, as you go along.

are you stalking the website ? ( it couldn't be , right ? right ? )
30 hours for one playthrough? Not even close. Took me 23 hours to beat it five times.

I'm ~14 hours in and on my 5th and final run. First playthrough should be about 5 or 6 hours depending on how quickly you read, how fast you solve the puzzles, and how much you use the fast-forward function.
I'm reading decently fast, solving puzzles on average in 10 minutes or so (about 15-30 min for new ones), and using fast-forward all the way. I should finish the final ending with a total playtime of ~17 or 18 hours, depending on how long the ending is. The last two endings (Endings 1 and 3) are a lot longer than the rest, so I'm taking that time into account.
You should be able to finish by the time the release comes around. Even if you do one room a day, you should be fine. VLR is another case altogether though. I've been hearing estimates of 50 hours to finish the whole game!

Well, 50 hours seems a bit too much. Ryouga here clocked 38 hours, IIRC, and another user did 43 hours.
I'd say that 40 hours seems to be the average complete game.

Man, I can't wait to play VLR. It'll be the first time I buy the same game twice (1x US PSN, 1x EU 3DS).
Question, the PSN version will cost $40 or $50? Just want to know if I have to buy two $20 cards or one $50 card.
Actually, Akselziys confirmed that the PSN version will cost 34,99$!
Oh, great price. Doesn't change too much for me, though. I still have to buy two $20 cards (and I pay 20 for each anyway). At least I can use the remaining $5 on something else.

Ha, seems like that, doesn't it? It seems like as soon as I check the site for the day (usually I check on Thursdays, cause that's the day when I know it will update) I find that it has been updated, so I post it here. It's weird how I always seem to get the update right when it's put up.
Just goes to show how hype I am for this game xD

Never finished 999, but looking forward to this release. I love how its technically a spiritual successor to the Infinity Series. Finished Ever 17 and Remember 11. Need to play Never 7 when I get the chance.

I like how I can always make the joke that the xylophone player from the Phoenix Wright games found a job playing for 999 and VLR.

I had esitmated shipping for the 18-25th, but then I decided to be stupid and try to change my shipping from Super Save to Two-Day, to see if I could get it earlier, but nothing really changed, so I swapped it back. Now it just says "We'll notify you via e-mail when we have an estimated delivery date for this item. It will ship separately. "
If I lost my pre-order watch because of that switch, I swear... Amazon will suffer my passive-aggressive wrath!

Well, at least something came out of my failure to snag a watch... Namely that I'll be getting the game Day One.
