Man, if that's seriously Master Hand they're going to have to, won't they?
And honestly, yeah, the hands just seem redundant. If you want to go for that menacing image I think the mask looming overhead alone does it more than well enough.

Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward ("Good People Die") - US 3DS/Vita release, fall
- Thread starter duckroll
- Start date

Yeah, we actually noticed the similarity yesterday of the hands our graphic designer inserted.
We've already created a revised cover without the hands, which we'll be using instead, just may take a day or so to get approvals to put them up

Though a Zero Escape x SSBM crossover would be interesting to say the least XD
(Actual 999 spoilers)
June is the real final boss? That... just doesn't seem right at all.

Likely story. You totally stole it! Aksys is great at stealing things.

Luckily you got that in time, eh? It would have been another legendary cover though... too bad!
On the other hand (999 SPOILERS)
I somehow think that axes are a fitting weapon for yandere girls...
Two other endings are out of the way, only two remaining!

Just in case you were curious, here's how it looks without the hands:

Any news on an LE or something? I really wanted that watch that came with 999, but couldn't get it.

I will buy a console for this game, be it Vita or US 3DS. I must play it.

It's very easy to mistakenly insert similar images when you purposely GIS for them!

Make sure to include it with the US version so we don't have to! 
But seriously, Hosoe does atmosphere music. Not gonna listen to it until I beat the game.

I completed Zero Escape Vol1: 999!!
I really liked it! I want more!
Serious all endings spoilers follow:
Fake edit:
Damnit! I keep misspelling the spoiler tag (I write spoilers) why isn't there a button for it?
Good thing I always preview my post before submission.

I stll feel like something was missing though.
The only thing I didn't really like was the time travel telepathy thing...
Right before beating the Safe ending I was sure that Zero was Santa, and I wasn't even too far from it. He was one of the few that never had its corpse checked or found during the other endings. The sister that died 9 years before during the prevoius game gave him the motive too!
The puzzle rooms were excellent! The only one that gave me some serious trouble was the moving box one in the second room after door 6. I also had to look out for the magic square, I used to remember how to do it, but couldn't come up with it at the moment...
By the way I also suffer from prosopagnosia to a little extent, nowhere near Ace's levels though. I usually recognize people from their clothing or voices, but mainly context. If I were to meet a coworker that I meet everyday at work during the week in the morning and afternoon at a live concert on a Saturday evening I would most likely not recognize him/her. Same thing goes if I met a friend of mine say in Tokyo (I live in Italy).
So guys don't get upset if you meet me along the road and I don't stop to say hello, ok?

Wait...

We are buying the game, you should give it away with preorders for free. (and make sure you include it with Amazon copies too since that's where I ordered it from!)Make sure to buy it and support Spike Chunsoft!

But we haven't decided on if we want to do a pre-order bonus yet
...or have we?

I have to agree here.
I rather have a limited edition than a preorder bonus..(especially since i cant preorder yet )
I understand the reason for pre-order bonuses, but it's never reliable.
Someone always messes up and a lot of people end up missing out.
Although the last time something went wrong (Fate/Extra), Aksys went far beyond what anyone could expect to fix it. That made them my favourite publisher <3
I stand by my earlier opinion about wanting some other goodies in an LE than CD/art samplers though.
Although the Hakuoki art book sampler thingy was pretty delicious.
I already bought the art book for this game though and will get the soundtrack. But I'd still get the LE if that's all it was. Because I'm a sucker.

If you have a DS, I'd say playing 999 is essential if you're interested in this game.

This game IS one of the biggest reasons why I bought a 3DS. I was impressed by 999 that much.
Hopefully this one is even better than the predecessor!

Hype increased by 10 billion.

I'll take this occasion: are there any discussion about European coming of the game, as far as you know? Since I'm European and I'd buy it on 3DS, I'd like to know it.
I mean, has Ghostlight approached you? XD

Unfortunately I can't really comment on that XD;
But hopefully Europe will be able to take part in the awesomeness that is VLR

Wait... are you saying Europe will get the game ?
In addition to them being three reasons to get a vita (in addition to gravity daze et al.).
The 3DS version of VLR is quite nice with its dual screens and 3D effect, but I have to say it looks quite gorgeous on the VITA's large OLED screen :3

Akselziys why doesn't it come out faster? ):
That's wonderful to hear! Options are always nice to have.
But as a EU gamer, who due to the region lock, still has no 3ds I am in a conundrum as to which region console I would want to eventually buy, now that enough interesting titles are releasing. Currently, now that odds of EU ports seem decent for most games I am trending toward a PAL unit, a JP 3ds might also be a nice addition for those exclusives, but unless the game gets a EU port a third possible 3ds would be extreme overkill... Thus, it might be better to get a region-free vita. In my mind, even if that console gets only a few decent games, it could pay off from a $/hour perspective.
