Now I don't like the new art direction... If she is indeed
she look like nothing like I've imaged. And the difference isn't in a good way in my eyes.

If she isn't
I'll be incredibly surprised, the first person that popped in mind when I opened the thread was

Yeah, after seeing this artwork I really hope they don't go back to 3D models again, they lacked any kind of charm. Live2D would be a way better choice.

All characters revealed so far.
hmm, the art style looks a bit different
Because it's not Kinu Nishimura (999/VLR artist) handling it anymore.
The problem is not the it looks different from 999/VLR... it's that it looks different from what they initialy revealed, which was, in my opinion, much better than even 999/VLR.

All the other eyes on the other characters thus far have been... Normal. Plus am I the only one noticing her face (jaw area more specifically?) is a bit... off? I guess my point is, i think she's supposed to look off. All the other characters look waaaay better than this.
I'm thinking that (vlr spoilers!!)
is supposed to look ugly because she's had an accident of some sort, or was just born that way from some sort of disease.
Just throwing random ideas out here, won't do it like, ever unless i think something is highly probable. We really won't know anything until a trailer, if anything. Anyway, glad to finally be on here and be part of the community! It's a bit weird, because I've tried to get on since 4infinity began, so I used to just refresh the 4infinity pages to see what you guys were talking about, desperately wanting to contribute to the fun. Thank goodness I just now discovered i could post, just in time for another Aksys teaser ^_^

Luna was made to look prettier than her origin because her origin wanted to be pretty? idk

they lack personality imo, even if the old designs could get a bit ridiculous. but oh well.
Welcome, friend. Always nice to have more people to discuss/get CRAZY with teasers.
I agree that she seems off... I wonder if her personality could be off too or it's just the look. At least I don't get the "I can kill you" vibe from her.

Ive already forgotten. It's games like these that would really benefit from what Xenosaga Episode III did by including an Encyclopedia that gave all the backstory from the 1st and 2nd game

Welcome to GAF Crystola! (@TheNinethLion here
) I find the negativity in here a bit weird, to me the style looks perfect. Never been more hyped for anything else.

I don't like 9 and 2, especially 2.
6 and 7 look great to me, though.
I mostly just want to see how the new artists interprets characters we already know, besides the possibility of who 9 likely is.

Aw, thanks! Seriously, unless you knew me irl, one would have NO IDEA how obsessed with that teaser I actually was, it's crazy looking back!! Anyway, I agree with whoever said she's got a motherly aura about her. She certainly looks messed up, but more like the, "I've been through a lot of crap and I won't let it happen to ANYONE ELSE no matter what it takes" maybe kinda thing? I really doubt (VLR spoiler)
sigma would model Luna after someone of pure evil, it wouldn't make sense.

Nice to (re)meet you here! To me nothing will beat 999's art style, it looked gorgeous in my eyes. VLR got a bit too wacky for me. I really like the return to the more "realistic" (minus lotus) style of 999.

I NEED THIS GAMEEEEE!
And that's obviously Diana.

Oh yes, I haven't thought about that. Now I'm hoping she'll be the kind, naive player.

Sigma and Sigma's probable companion (#6) look fantastic, the other two... Not so much.
Personally, I considered the original promotional art to be entirely too different from the art in the rest of the series, jarringly so. I consider not going further in that direction a good thing, but that's me.
They are quite grounded by ZE standards so far, yeah. Still, I'll take Participants 6 and 7 over Alice and VLR Clover. I'd say the only real dud for me so far visually is Participant 2.
srsly
I was hoping the artwork I've seen for ZTD were placeholders. this is some sterile-looking garbage

This is totallyhttps://twitter.com/_crash_keys_/status/694598920861683712
At first I thought this might be (VLR spoiilers), but maybe not since a certain accessory is missing.Diana
They have also broken from the pattern we saw so far of every Friday, so clearly Crash Keys know no patterns.
__Diana__
Also the similarities to
___Luna___
So can we please finally dismiss everything else so far and accept that this is
__Diana__
Well Participant 2 is definitely not Diana, but people though Participant 6 was. I'm not in that camp, lol.

Dat hyperbole.
honestly dude it's not
these characters look bland as fuck. The only good art I've seen so far is that colored one with the dude sitting down and the chick is behind him
Well for starters they are pencil sketches. Wait for color and depth just like with 999.
Also they are going to be 3D models, and there's no way that 3D models can achieve the kind of art you saw in concept, so you better temper your expectations now rather than later.
Answer to first Spoiler: Yes
Additional Info:
Diana and Sigma met again on the Moon and build Luna together

Wait, where was that mentioned? I was pretty sure that
Sigma built Luna alone and there were no hints that Diana had survived.
Uchikoshi mentioned on the game website's answers page (similar to 999) that at some point she traveled to the moon to reconnect with Sigma, but this would be the younger version of him (the consciousness of his that wasn't on the test site).

Quite a difference between 'bland' and 'garbage'. Come on now.

Participant 2 is clearly evil. CLEARLY.
Pfft. Just wait until the game comes out, and we learn he sacrifices himself to save someone in each timeline!

The art could be anything right now, I'm just amazed this game exists.

People keep saying "these characters are too plain" but I mean... they're supposed to be signed up for a manned mission to mars test. Most of them came here willingly, so they wouldn't be wearing something candid like say Lotus (who probably was nabbed coming back from work or something). Relatively normal attire would be expected for a setting like this.

She was nabbed coming home from a belly dancing class.
Like I said in the other thread, I think things will look "better" when we see everything in color and in the actual game. I personally prefer the old artwork, but I like what we're seeing so far too.

Do you need a summary of VLR?
(huge spoilers obviously)
Dec 26th, 202X- YOUNG Sigma is knocked unconscious in his car, his consciousness is replaced by OLD Sigma, who then proceeds to Dcom where the events of ZTD will supposedly take place from Dec 30th to Dec 31st. This takes place one year after the events of 999.
Dec 37th-30th, 202X- Alice and Clover are abducted.
Several months later, POST-ZTD Phi will meet Sigma and Akane at somewhere unknown and be loaded into a Recovery Pod, from which she'll be thawed for the third Nonary Game- the events of VLR.
204X- Sigma witnesses the explosion of an antimatter reactor (penultimate scene of VLR). He boards a shuttle alongside frozen Phi, and sets out for Rhizome-9, where he'll remain until VLR; until then, he'll develop the technologies to create Lugermorph (Zero III, quantum computing and artificial intelligence), Kyle (cloning and genetic engineering) and Luna (robotics, AI).
Dec 30th, 207X(6?)- Several days after Quark and Tenmyouji are transported to the Moon. Dio infiltrates Rhizome-9, VLR takes place. YOUNG Phi returns to Earth.
Dec 31st 207X/ Jan 1st 207(X+1)- VLR ends. Post-VLR Sigma is attacked by Akane (as seen at the end of VLR) to trigger the transfer of his and Phi's consciousnesses to 202X.

I'm sure I mixed up some stuff, please correct me guys.
