Finally got 100% (I think... 3DS version, no Plat trophy to conveniently tell me ). Amazing experience and props to Aksys for an incredible job on the localization.
Oh God, my brain... It's in shambles. All the revelations from Phi's ending, the Past, and Another Time are just too much for it to handle.
Yes, Phi, I do want to know what happened between Dec. 25 and New Year's Eve... the wait for part 3 is going to be so painful. D:
The only thing I didn't like was Quark. Or more accurately, his stupid fucking hat was dumb. Didn't like it at all.
Man, the true ending was a mindfuck. All those loop the loops with the timelines and alternate histories.

Just noticed that this thread existed. Hooray for no spoiler tags!
I only use robot girls for avatars, lol.
Don't be hatin' on the hat, he keeps snacks in there!
Yeah. I'm definitely catching the more subtle hints on my second playthrough.I love how going back through a second time, some of the dialogue has meaning that you didn't know before.
Just lol'd at Tenmyouji bringing up Alice and Ice-9. Oh Alice, you ain't fooling anyone
All I can think of is K as a Schrodinger's Cat... with that zero iii scene of K riding zero.
While we know K is Kyle there... in another timeline it couldve very well been Akane doing that <.<
Yea. The idea of a walking schrodinger's cat experiment, where the suit is the box that you open to decide is akane is alive or dead, it was unexpected to say the leastAll I can think of is K as a Schrodinger's Cat... with that zero iii scene of K riding zero.

So I started replaying 999, and wow, this game is scarier than I remembered. Even though I finished 999 long ago, I'm still getting creeped out by it. The atmosphere is filled with fear, uncertainty, and darkness, and the characters seem to feel it too. Especially since the first death was shockingly gruesome. Some of the other endings are pretty crazy too.
By comparison, VLR feels more laid-back. Even though the characters have to compete against each other in the ambidex games, there actually seems to be less conflict in VLR than 999. Overall, there just seems to be less negativity.
Anyone else feel that way? VLR is more expansive, but 999 is more intense. It's one helluva ride.

Hey, can we talk about how K is awesome? Because (s)he's pretty awesome.Me every time you updated.
This game is such a tease.
THE MOON. VIRUSES. EXPLOSIONS. LOOK AT YOUR LOST BODY PARTS. ROBOTS. CRYOGENICS. But wait for the conclusion in the next game~
Now that's how you do a cliffhanger.
Hey, can we talk about how K is awesome? Because (s)he's pretty awesome.
I thought that picture of chibi K was a joke, but wow, he wore it for his entire life, huh? :lol
K was so awesome that even the times he was being a dick, I STILL liked him.

Now that I think about it, it makes alot of sense that the characters were pretty calm in VLR. Luna and K were prepared for the game. Dio and Tenmyouji knowingly joined in. Quark maybe wasn't fully aware, but whatever. Phi volunteered as well, although she didn't remember everything right away. Clover and Alice were surprised, but they managed to handle the situation pretty well given their experience.
I still prefer the crazy sinister mood in 999. And the sense of urgency helped keep things moving. But the more thoughtful, secretive nature of VLR is great too.
Now that we know K was Akane most of the time, that pic makes SO much more sense.
K and Luna are my favorite characters, full stop.
The game never explained what was up with Sigma's outfit.
What was he the STAFF of? What's up with the weird symbols? :0
It's not the STAFF outfits of the Rhizome base, right?
Btw. are Akane and Sigma Phi's parents? Young Akane has a flower in her hair just like Phi and white hair lies in the family (Santa).
Anybody else got their mind blown by the radical 6 revelation ? I remember thinking 'huh, a disease that slows down time by a factor of root 6? Weird number', only to have it come back in the information dump in the true ending.

I guess Junpei hates Sigma for stealing his childhood love.
Btw. I loved how Luna would never betray anyone in the game, that's so sweet! I was always sad when someone betrayed her. It was strange when out of all other characters Dio allied with her during the first round, when you chose Alice's door. Why did he do that?
I ended up pulling one somewhere because I thought it was cute and hilarious at the time. I'm sure you can get one from the Alternate Timeline starring K with less dialogue. Edit: pretty sure this was on K's path.Oh yeah! I assumed he imagined himself as a kid wearing armor, because he didn't know what he looked like. Turns out he actually was a kid wearing armor.
Anyone remember which path that was? I wanna grab a screenshot :3
Same here. I kind of prefer the setting the urgency of 999 a little more but if they kept doing the same dance moves over and over then it'd get a little stale and predictable.I still prefer the crazy sinister mood in 999. And the sense of urgency helped keep things moving. But the more thoughtful, secretive nature of VLR is great too.
It was perfect.
Pretty cool that that specific scene was done completely with 2D character art.
the dio ending felt really good. you might not remember the axe ending, clover, but i do. i do.
people love yandere girlsthe dio ending felt really good. you might not remember the axe ending, clover, but i do. i do.
people love yandere girls
Sure she's gonna get help.Of course.
It's not like she always did so on her own. Alice told her to leave and get help if she got the chance! ...which was made worse every time Alice got killed. >_>
