I doubt Uchikoshi more than skimmed the blog post. His english isn't the greatest.

I thought so too because of stuff like this:
Never7 SPOILER: http://abload.de/img/random-uchi-2hqugc.png
but one of the 4 images in the blogpost is a big screencap of the counter from the teaser; that must have caught his eye.

Huh?
I didnt see that Never 7 image before in the blog?

Is it me or is the word Gab slightly higher than it was before?
isnt that from a fan translation? That doesnt reflect on uchikoshi.
Still looks the same for me, you can try to compare it with the screencap in the OP.
Its from the Japanese PSP version of Never7, so thats the original text. I cant tell you if he wrote those words himself though. Fact is that Uchikoshi mentions that hes not fluent in English on his twitter account and we have to keep that in mind every time he responds to a tweet or posts something in English.

Mine looks different from the screenshot, coin is below "ice cream" and runs along the top of the numbers. Its also very small on mine. Gab is much bigger and is a static word above "coin".

Mine has coin below ice cream too. I think it just depends on screen size, changing the zoom level only affects the static words, so it changes their position relative to the scrolling ones.
Looks like the browser/device still screws with the layout.
This should help: first one is Monday, second one today. (both are screencaps from my iphone which doesn't allow zoom on the teaser-site)

Ah, cheers Probably its something to do with the zoom function on my computer then...

Is it supposed to change to 0104 today?
Not this early it's not :V

It does seem to be running late today.
There we go, changed to 104 now.

Man, if they don't deliver after all these weeks of hype...

Then we will riot and destroy a few antimatter reactors, that is all.
It may be wishful thinking, but we don't know that. After 0101 it might change to 0002 or something.
Seriously, it takes way to long.

It better be something very good when it finishes. You think they would put up a picture hint or something by now

Gab and ice cream aren't enough for you? It's Gab!

Let's pull an Umineko and "turn the chessboard over"...
Okay, so the teaser was overly long. These people are publishers, they are probably aware of how to prepare an engaging teaser. I do not think it very likely that nobody thought the teaser was too long. Which leads to us to the fact that making the teaser so overly long was a deliberate act, done despite the possibility of diminished hype.
If they made it long deliberately, they were trying to convey a message because it is noticeable that they made the teaser overly long on purpose.
What was noticeable in the initial state of the teaser? Four bicolored rectangles, spelling out "0303" with numbers on them.
That leads me to thinking 0303 was significant.
Zero-Three-Zero-Three? Logically, people thought of Zero Escape.
Now, at this point, they are trying to create the impression that this is ZE3. Whether it is deliberate misguidance or an actual teaser for ZE3 remains to be seen.
If it was to mislead people, what would they gain by doing that? Why would they misdirect hype? Do they think some people would be interested in what is being teased nonetheless if it was not ZE3? That remains unclear.
However, it appears more to me that this signifies Zero Escape 3. One could even argue that the repetition means it is coming to two platforms, but that is very far-fetched.

Yup, the teaser kinda sucks but most of the ride has been fun. We've made it halfway up those stairs
Basically agree with everything you said. I would bet money that the end of this teaser won't disappoint, but I no longer think that we'll be able to know for sure before the official end of the teaser.
Ice cream -> Aisu kurimu -> kurimu -> KlimGab and ice cream aren't enough for you? It's Gab!
ZE3 confirmed

1/216
or 0.00462962962 as a decimal.
If they're going to start teasing with numbers, that's even more of a connection to Zero Escape/Infinity

Hmmm.
January 2(0)16? Perhaps its a release date? The Zero has escaped!
Uhh, I mean.. new word, woo hoo!

The fact that 9 and 6 each read like each other (when placed upside down) sounds significant in that series of numbers. In 999 didnt Junpei have to do something with probability?

216 = 9 as digital root... 1/9
But that would be too simple of a number to have a digital root as the meaning behind it, probably.

Maybe it's some kind of pun in English or Japanese? This is certainly a lot more intriguing than "Gab"
and yet it probably has about the same amount of meaning.
Combine these and create a double meaning from it, it could be saying a release date of Jan. 9th, 2016.
Plus whatever a missing zero means.

[17:13] <Myun> someone go to this gaf thread and tell them it's probably the number of remaining fridays in the month, and the number points to AX
We have talked about this already.
StarCreator

Don't shoot the messenger please!
edit: other than the release date and the digital root, this idea makes sense as well:
the chance of rolling a certain number with a dice is (1/6), the chance of rolling this number three times in a row is (1/6)x(1/6)x(1/6) = 1/216
so it basically means "the unlikely chance of the same thing happening three times in a row" or "the same thing happening again for a third time" and it fits the way 1/216 is written

I was told there'd be no math.
*pulls pistol out of coffin*
But in all seriousness, this just makes me relieved that I signed up for AX many months ago. I'll be able to see ZE3 revealed live... I hope.

1/216 is also the chances of rolling 3 normal dice with the same number in each die.
Edit: Oops sorry, just seen that theory has already been discussed!
Even though these explanations make more sense i still like mine
Fair enough, it's a cool idea
It seems less likely now that the words are part of an anagram. Does anyone have an idea of what this mix of words and numbers could ultimately mean?
Or could it still be an anagram with a date in the text? you could easily make the date 01/2016 if you take the "o"s from coin and shotgun and use them as zeros.

Can somebody try to use the Caesarian Shift on this?
Intriguing... very intriguing.
Assuming that "the 0 has escaped", this might be leading to saying whatever this is will be released in January 2016.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
