Not to mention the story fleshes out more if you've seen the bad endings.

Just got right ahead and change the rhino to a giraffe.The best analogy I can think of is a magician deliberately showing you the compartment where he keeps the rabbits, then pulls a rhino from the hat instead. The trick is spoilt temporarily but then something else replaces it and hits you even harder.

jaxword said:Haha, you'll be surprised when you learn the answer.
It was localized by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aksys_Games. They seem to be a decent American/Japanese conduit. They also did Theresia, which is similar to 999, but is sooooo user unfriendly it's almost unplayable. In fact, Theresia may as well be the prototype of 999 in how it tries to make a horror-novel into a game.
The specific developer of 999 was Chunsoft.
Look up Chunsoft and report back how surprised you were.. I certainly was.

I think I understand most of it, but there's one or two big questions I still need to mull over.The most obvious being what was up with present day June/Zero? How was she able to build the game, else instruct Santa to do it, kidnap the people, then participate in the game?
Who was that woman on the road?
Was it present or past June that had access to the different time-streams? If so how many time-streams?
I guess I'll just have to look forward to 999-2? Any word on that?
Do it. I'm not too far, but I already regret not playing this in 2010. I bought it at launch and everything. :\Nemesis556 said:Theresia was so good once you got past it's terribly user friendliness.
The fact that Chunsoft developed 428 makes me thing I need to grab 999 right now.

Because of instead of adding the shit stain that is Castlevania: Lords of Shadow to my GOTY list, I could have added this.Nemesis556 said:I have nothing else to do, why do you regret not playing it in 2010? >_>
Congrats!Rez said:Just finished with the true ending after receiving the axe ending (thus giving me all five alternate endings).

What a fantastic experience. Thanks to everyone around here who spread the gold word, I'd have never have tried it otherwise.
Oh, and while I'm at it:
turning the DS upside down for the final puzzle? Fucking ingenious. The seamless cut-back an forths between the past and present in the incinerator? Unexpectedly classy stuff.
What else have this team made?

Up your posts per page! ;PKorigama said:Hmm, page 49 (for me, anyway).
I may have posted that one earlier, but I can't remember. Definitely have seen it before though!Since the digital root is 4, it seems like just a good excuse as any for posting a fan art found that I'm pretty sure I hadn't seen here yet.

Sklorenz said:Just got coffin as my first ending. Man, it was ridiculously abrupt and it was kind of unsatisfying. Oh well, at least I can browse GAF while I hold down right on the D-pad... moves quick enough, I think. Hopefully the game begins to branch out soon. Really enjoyed the game so far, but I was NOT expecting the game to end dead in its tracks afterSanta kidnaps June and forces Ace and Lotus through the door, followed by the knocking on the coffin's interior. It was getting really creepy and interesting. They investigate the coffin and they can't figure out the code and.... THE END!
Also, couldn't Seven, Junpei, and Clover gone back and retrieved Snake's hand/bracelet? 7+5+4+2= 18= 9. I was expecting this to occur before the game ended. Although, it has been a couple days since I had played that portion (or 9's death scene, for that matter), so I can't remember if the bracelets break or something like that after the bomb goes off

survivor said:Ok I just got bothandCoffinendings.Safe
The Coffin ending makes Santa have the gun and he goes crazy. But then in the Safe one, it's Ace that goes crazy. There must be a reason for that. It did clear one thing, in the Axe ending, Ace must have told Lotus to come with him so he can use her bracelet and I think he was the one that killed her in the Knife ending as well. Also it makes me question what the hell Clover would have done in the Axe ending if the 0 bracelet was a 6. And still the Submarine ending and Guy X aren't explained. The True ending better clear all of that.
One more ending and I will be done with the game. Then I can finally read all the spoilers tag in this thread.

The final puzzle was so appropritate... I was actually shaking! ;_;
Baiano19 said:Whoa, you got a nice first ending...
Keep playing and all pieces will eventually fit.
survivor said:Ok I just got the last and true ending. I have a lot of questions and stuff but I'm already too tired. I just have one question about another ending.
So who exactly was it that killed us all in the Submarine ending? I still can't figure that part out.
Get it. It's fucking amazing.Sofo said:So tempted to buy this game. Not sure if it's the compliments I've read about it here on GAF but damn, really eager to get it. Thankfully I have to start/finish Professor Layton and the Unwound Future, that should keep me busy.

Which endings have you gotten before? There is also a spoiler free flowchart for the endings if you want to take a look at it. It has the endings names but I don't think it's much of a spoilergdt5016 said:On my third playthrough, just need a bit of help.
Chose to roll with Ace and Lotus, but don't know what door to go through. 4 or 5 (both of which I've been through already, on my previous playthroughs)? I'm just trying to avoid duplicating an ending here.
