- Question -- Is a playthrough of 999: 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors required to enjoy Virtue's Last Reward?
- Answer -- No, Virtue's Last Reward can stand on its own. Though, 999: 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors WILL be spoiled for you. If you want to get the most out of VLR, a playthrough of 999 (getting to the True Ending) is encouraged.
- Question -- I absolutely could not stand having to redo puzzles in 999 for new endings! Is that back again?
- Answer -- Fret not! You are able to "jump" to different points in the story, taking care of that pesky issue of having to play through a lot of content you had already seen!
- Question -- Are there Japanese voiceovers?
- Answer -- If you read this OP before getting here, you would know!
- Question -- Is the entire game voiced?
- Answer -- No, only the novel sections are voiced (excluding Sigma, who is voiced by blips and beeps). The escape sections are not voiced.
- Question -- 999 had six endings, how many endings does VLR have?
- Answer -- The game has a whopping 24 endings, so the hours of content you get increase quite a bit!
- Question -- What platform should I get this on? Any differences?
- Answer -- There are no content differences (unless you want to count trophies). Get the game on the platform you want to play it on. If you would feel better reading lots of text on the Vita, then get it there. If you want to play it like you did the previous game, then get it on the 3DS. Just go with what is more comfortable for you, if you have the option.
- Question -- Is the pre-order watch still available?
- Answer -- Sorry, they're all gone!
