Zero Time Dilemma official JP site opens, PV on 3/17

This game lists the world population as 8 billion...VLR said 6 billion people died due to Radical-6. So 2 billion survived? That's a lot more than I thought.

That's probably accurate. VLR spoilers:
Obviously Sigma, Akane, Junpei, Clover, Phi, Alice, and many others survived. The fact that Junpei found Quark shows that since he isn't very old, he was likely born after the reactors went off. 2 billion people surviving would make sense.
 
Also worth thinking about is the passwords that appear when someone dies. In 999 and VLR there were endings where most or all of the cast gets killed. Let's say that happens here...all the passwords would reveal themselves, and at that point Sigma, Phi, and whoever else who may also have
timeline powers (plus good retention, which mainly seems to be Sigma)
can get that knowledge all at once. So I'm kind of wondering if everyone getting killed doesn't happen, deaths can ONLY happen with the use of gimmicks so no one goes Rambo (meaning passwords can ONLY be gotten piece by piece), and/or there are other elements from barring the passwords to be gotten and used that easily.

It would also be interesting to see Sigma and Phi kill someone to get a password
then jump to another timeline
, for the greater good :x At the very least Diana might kill Sigma going by that piece of art. I'm guessing all teams will have that choice though.

I have a feeling the passwords are only doled out at set intervals for each room. Each room a team will confront a death trap, one of them will have to be put in it to move forward, a password will be gotten and the next room unlocked. It'll be a scenario where either someone makes a noble sacrifice or the other team members force someone to die, effectively becoming murderers in the process. Would make sense given the Saw-esque concept art as well.
 
Question:

Six people have to die in ZTD's survival gme, right? But Sigma, Phi, Akane, and Junpei all survive to VLR, And it would seem that in the timeline for VLR Diana also survived, since in the recording, she claims that she killed six people... no, six billion.

So... what's going on? :O

We'll see what Uchikoshi cooks up. I'm not sure if we know how
timelines
fully work in the ZE universe yet.
Is it parallel universes? Is it just casual in the sense that whatever happens happens and it just integrates into the same timeline?
. There are many possible answers.
It's possible Junpei wasn't supposed to be in the game, but now is as a result of Phi and Sigma's time meddling. It's possible that someone outside the game managed to die in their place. It's possible we're hearing a Dana from a new timeline where Akane, Junpei, Sigma, or Phi died
or another crazy answer he cooks up.

Blow my mind, Uchikoshi.

BLOW.
MY.
MIND
 
I'm really digging all the high res art on the site. My hype is through the roof and it can't be contained. I need that trailer NOW.

If all of them survive, Radical 6 spreads.

Who will you pick to die?
 
Diana said six of them were dead in the audio recording in VLR[. And we know that Radical-6 spread

I was always convinced and now i'm even sure that Diana in that recording is under the radical-6 effect and her speech can't be taken at face value
 
I haven't played VLR, but Phi's outfit looks fine. I've seen girls dressed like that and it looks nice.
It's not that she's wearing high-cut shorts, it's that she's wearing a bad cut of shorts with a visible zipper going nearly all the way down, and tucking a wide-neck sweater/long-sleeved t-shirt into them. The sleeves might also be bunched up.

Girl doesn't know how to dress herself.

That or, as we learned in VLR, someone who's there isn't actually supposed to be there, as even despite pre-planning, Sigma and Phi's presence was always a constant in every timeline, yet one body had to be brought onto the scene.

Which is strange, because I thought she was the most fashionable one in VLR. Maybe this Phi's an
impostor?!
 
We finally got a really high res of the key set 😍 All the art looks beautiful too. The new plot elements sound so good. I can't wait to see this trailer and then go on a media blackout
