I FINALLY have the game!

I can't play it for a few days, but I'm just really happy that I have the game in my grubby little hands! It's been a stressful few weeks dealing with the Amazon mess. -_-

I'm organising all of my reaction gifs (mainly shocked ones) as we speak! I hope you're all ready for an onslaught of gifs as I play! Aww yiss!

So I've got a number from the scene with Zero and Q - but where do I enter it? It doesn't seem to be the one for the computer and the force quit boxes don't have numbers.

Sorry for double post

That password is for later. If you saw all three executions and didn't miss any fragment, this should unlock a new fragment in C-team (Ambidex). Can you post your flowchart if you're still stuck?

Shit is getting real! Hit the part where C-Team is (spoiler for the reactor room)
SHIFTing around to try to get X-Passes for people that are not dead yet
and D-Team's Pod Room segment.

Loving it!

I'm stuck in
the Q team study.

I think I am totally missing something, cause I touched everything, and can't get the A part of the arrow.

any subtle hint?

I'm playing through Virtue's Last Reward (I played through all of 999 a few months ago) for the first time and I thought this would probably be the best thread to ask a question:

I've played through two puzzle rooms so far. I've gotten the escape codes, but I have absolutely no idea where I would have gotten the gold file codes. Is this just for repeate playthroughs, or should I just think harder? Or is there anything else I should know about this?

No spoilers please.

You should think harder! =)
Some of them are quite hard tbh.

I've still got a few fragments open...like the dice rolling, the scene with phi in the incinerator and the pistol to sigmas head and two scenes with team Q where I have to input names, but I don't know how to trigger those :/

Cool cool.

I assume I can do all of these on subsequent playthroughs?

You can easily go back and do them, but unlike 999 you don't ever need to solve a puzzle room more than once during your playthrough. If you want to look for the secret code later you may need to solve the entire room again, which takes some time. There is an extra ending sequence for getting all secret files.

Do the dice rolling and incinerator to get all their ends. The 3 way standoff can wait for later on.

Okay, I think I need some help. Stuck in a place where most people got stranded apparently.
So I gathered I need to see Q team's execution to progress, but I have no idea where to jump to in order to do that.

Replay the execution vote for all teams, making sure Q team dies.

Weird, pretty sure I explored all options there.

Okay, that did the trick.
I rewatched the post-vote things instead earlier.

So dumb they make you memorize the x-passes, when ingame they are visible right next to the door. Maybe it's time to start doing notes with pen and paper...

Can you not access the menu - log from the input screen and see them? I seem to remember it worked.

Inputting the wrong answers is great.

C Team Pantry:
Who killed Junpei? *Inputs Gab* How could a dog do it?

Q Team Study/Library:
Who will you kill? *Inputs me* You cannot commit suicide.

You can take notes in game. While the subtitles for the X-Passes are on screen ht the MEMO option and write them down.

Q-Team are a bunch of people who I don't sympathize with them and I don't care if to them happen bad things, but, for some reason, I enjoy their scenes and I want to know more about them.

It's weird.

I've just started this game and played a few hours. It's a very different layout than the previous games? Am I right in assuming I'm supposed to play these "individual" segments on each story to piece together certain information that will allow you to get the true ending?

A couple of puzzles I've done so far include:

Well first, I guessed the coin flip right the first time which let us out of the facility immediately lol. Finished the game in 11 mins!

My first puzzle was the pantry room which ended with us finding Junpei's head in the freezer... And then everything went to shit with either Carlos or Akane dying. Akane seems pretty weird in this game. I don't know if her character is like that but she seems pretty dopey and I always assumed she was calculating because of her involvement in two Zero games.

My second puzzle was the game's room with Junpei finally alive this time. He feels really disconnected and you can't blame him with what Akane put him through. And then everyone gets mowed down at the end of the puzzle.

It seems like those two "game overs" had additional branches so I assume I'll learn stuff later that will allow me to navigate those situations more safely.

I finally did a puzzle with Q team - the Study.

This one was actually hard because I assumed the desk had absolutely nothing on it after clicking everywhere. After like 2 hours, I finally clicked the right place on it which made the rest of the room extremely easy.

And then everything went to shit. I knew Mira was dodgy. Man she killed her mum and can't even tell what she did was wrong. I still feel like she's not the actual villain of the group. She's just insane. Maybe. Need to learn more.

Funnily enough, I did try putting in "Quark" as the person Q could kill. It could've been him lol.

Now I'm going to do my first puzzle with D team. That is the one I'm most interested in because I feel like that will have the most story implication. Q team probably has my least interest because it doesn't have characters that are "in" or have knowledge of these games.

Damn, now I feel stupid. I've replayed some choices because I didn't remember all passes... Thanks for reminding that a log exists.

If it makes you feel better I think it's bad design. It's kinda dumb you have to even type them in the first place, considering
there's no instance where inputting a different X-Pass yields a different result.

Whenever the game prompted me or told me to remember something I automatically just took a photo of it using the Vita screenshot functionality. That carried me through the entire game >>

OK I gotta ask:
Do I HAVE
to trigger the cutscenes or events where I kill my allies, like burning Phi and...hydrogen showering the other teams?
Do I gotta do this to unlock certain fragments?

You at least need to make sure you see the executions. For Phi's scene you probably will. It's one of the most heart wrenching scenes imo, and it's totally worth it even if unnecessary and you wouldn't do it.

Before I start on either Vita/3DS are there any game breaking things like last time I need to know about? Does the 3DS version still crash?
Click to expand...

Just make sure you remember to save whenever you finish a fragment. The game will not always prompt you to save and if you leave the game in 3DS sleep mode too long, sometimes it will freeze when you reopen the game, and the only thing you can do is restart the system. If you've saved reliably, that won't be a problem, but I had to redo like 3 fragments when I first started playing because it didn't prompt me to save after they were finished and I mistakenly assumed I had saved.

You can turn on text skipping whenever you want though, so if that does happen to you do yourself a favor and turn it on until you catch back up.

Started playing today. Loving it so far!

Nothing much to comment on just yet other than I'm totally intrigued as to why
Q could lift up the Force Quit Box with ease while Sigma couldn't!
How very interesting....

I haven't finished the game yet so no spoilers please but I keep reading comments where people are underwhelmed by the ending. Is it really that bad or did anyone actually like the ending?

It's... Well, I think part of it is like anticipating Christmas as a kid. In the end nothing can live up to your hopes and expectations so disappointment is inevitable. I still think it's the weakest of the three games ending wise, though I kinda suspected/dreaded that could've ended up the case regardless.

I would say this ending is more focused on closing arcs and giving an explanation to the background of both previous games that blowing your mind. Its a sacrifice you must do to not have people asking for ZE4 for the next 4 years.

Can you post a picture of your flowchart, or mention what areas seem to be locked?

A very common place people get stuck:
you can get past Eric asking who killed Mira.

Answer:
Let time run out, or put in IDONTKNOW

I figured it out with a hint from a friend.

I had no idea that the message on Q Team 's side of the door was the code for D Team's side

Threw me for a fucking loop.

Thanks for your help tho.
