To be honest, most of the bad endings are... well, I was going to say half-assed, but they're very much intentionally vague and abrupt. Theyre cool for what they are, but the universe they present is so ineffectual to the "important" endings that it doesn't really matter. Safe and Coffin are the important ones.hank_tree said:

I would still recommend going for the additional endings, mainly for the impact. Ultimately, I'd say the game wouldn't have been as memorable for me if I hadn't seen all of them, though the
knife
safe
coffin
a cut-off version of the true ending, which only halts if you hadn't seen the safe ending already. To be honest, I admit it would've been better for the experience if you hadn't seen the safe ending so soon: the impact of one in particular will be arguably less at this point
EDIT: Eh, forget it then.

More or less just started, a little bothered by the lack of consistency so far...
Whenever the game does generic people shouting out, it doesn't feel like the lines of dialog match any of the characters. For instance, I get the sense that characters like Snake and Ace would not be shouting, but everyone is given an exclamation point.
Snake looks at his sister with inquisitive eyes if you

If you decide on door 5, you do so on the logical point that you want to
. However, your first goal on going through door 5 is to just continue on out, specifically avoiding the body.
These are all nitpicks, but I guess I keep feeling like they aren't trying hard enough to write a convincing scenario for me.

Thread has slowed down a bit as of late. We need to get more newcomers.
I did pick this up recently as it showed up as a recommended title on Amazon, which I cross referenced on NeoGAF.
But i'm only able to play small chunks before I go to bed at night. Only on C Deck so far, after Door '7'.
Liking it so far. And I've managed to avoid all the spoilers.
My impression so far is decent story and decent puzzles. Based on reactions, there appears to be a twist or multiple twists.
Likes
-Atmosphere
-Story driven
-Art (I like the renders of the environments. Some are obviously CG, but others look hand drawn)
Dislikes
-anime character style. My favorite character so far is '7'
-focus on 'youth'. I think everyone is under the age of 30, most are in their early 20s! I like a gritty mystery.

I love the designs, especially Clover.

Disagreed.

Deku said:
Most are under 30, but as already pointed out, three are 40 and up. Not seeing what difference that makes, but whatever. I didn't feel that detracted from anything, but that's just my take.
To clarify on my 'youth' comment, this is fairly nitpicky and generic. ie: I could charge any JRPG with this.
But I think for an adventure/story driven mystery like this, it kind of detracts when you have a love story going on between Junpei and June in the middle of the Gigantic. But that's purely my opinion and I'm not hating on the game because of it.
Maybe I was expecting something less melodramatic on that level.
And I understand why it was done by Chunsoft.

A far number of mysteries have love stories as an important subplot, so I'm not sure what the problem is. But see what you think when you're finished.

This. A lot of the interactions might seem inconsequential, but it'll all click with multiple playthroughs and endings.XiaNaphryz said:Get a couple endings!
So Ive gotten 4 endings so far
I really love how the story has unfolded between the different paths so far, the order in which I've gotten the endings has worked out well in that regard.
Knife, Sub, Axe, and Coffin in that order. It looks like the Coffin ending video is pointing me towards some sequence of doors 5,8,6 so hopefully Im on the right track to another ending. The fake Zero/Captain guy and Snake possibly being alive were quite surprising, also theres a fucking frozen mummy wandering around the ship somewhere. Im guessing Snake is inside the coffin but I suppose Ill find out sooner or later. The Axe and Sub endings were creepy as fuck too.

I finished my first playthrough last night. Was kind of disappointed that the game essentially said I had to play again to learn *anything*. Maybe I just did it wrong? But I feel like I didn't get much information beyond
. I'm starting a second playthrough. How many does this exactly require to get the full story?

Playing through the game multiple times is the only way to get the entire story. Don't think of the first playthrough as finishing it once, think of it more as "completing a portion of the full game."thefil said:

I suggest following the chart only when you've already gone through all the rooms you haven't seen and are ready to get the last two endings (if you didn't get the one that unlocks the true ending along the way first, anyway, in which case you just have one more to get). Maybe that's just me.gdt5016 said:

So much to think about, though the
coffin end made me feel trolled with the TO BE CONTINUED. I didn't mind though, just made me want to continue more (whilst balancing time for assignments I need done <.<) Of course I had to proceed to get the Safe end. PS - I really, really hate Ace, which I suppose is a testament to how well he is created as a hateful bastard.

So I started playing Ever17. Only played for a few minutes, but I like the setting a lot. I can already see hints of this in 999. Gonna make an LTTP thread which I think could also be used as an OT for people curious about the game after playing this.

The Coffin ending is the True ending that cuts off at a point
Skipping the Coffin Ending entirely and just doing safe and then True counts as a Coffin completion as well(you'll get your icon)
Unless you want to play through the True path twice there is no reason at all to do a Coffin only run
Edit: Ah you're getting axe
http://www.gamefaqs.com/ds/961351-nine-hours-nine-persons-nine-doors/faqs/61382
I used this guide to plan ending paths.
all the numbers are at the top and True End requirements are explained in the room solutions at the bottom.
Since you've already completed the rooms and got Axe you can self-diagnose your issue spoiler free.

Did you remember to
ask Seven about Ice-9 after listening to June's stories? You can still get axed anyway if you didn't.
EDIT: Beat me to it.

Did you
listen to all of the ice-9 conversations? You have to hear them all. The easiest one to miss is in the part behind door 7, when Seven starts to remember something - you have to ask him about ice-9, not "did you remember something?" That's the easiest way to screw up the coffin / true endings.
Oh damn... I thought it wasn't that important I

Is anyone submitting for that 999 caption contest? Just wanna share mine here.
Just got my second ending. The first one I got was
- 3rd slot, the second one was
- 6th slot. This game gets very creepy by the end. I got more scare out of this than Dead Space 2.
How many endings there are? Are the ones I got the bad ones? Which slot of the 6 is the true ending?
Clover's Axe
Submarine
