I gotta say - it’s really great to see this thread really active, I mean look at the post count considering this is still a pretty niche series.

The great word of mouth for the original has done wonders......and I couldn’t be happier. VLR has a lot of buzz at the moment on GAF!

 

[Ken]

Every time this thread gets bumped and I don't see a post saying "PSN version up!!!" makes me sad.

 

[shadyspace]

Guuuuuuys will I be able to walk into my Gamestop and buy this before the weekend or not

 

[Javier]

Seven was way cooler than Junpei.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Someone called?

Fucking perfect.

But Junpei was all scrawny and relatable and Sigma looks like a total bro.

But Sigma has the cat thing so he's like the rest of the internet in that he's obsessed with cats.

Don't be sad. At least today. Because it won't be up until tomorrow @ GCT.

Whatever guys. The best character in 999 was Ace and you all know it.

I can agree with this.

That one face he makes...the best!

Oh God, that image of his eye looking in the incinerator is burnt into my soul forever.

No way.

Wow this is so wrong.

Real talk. I'd actually put him dead last, hell even Clover was better than him!

My avatar disagrees with you.

 

[bon]

I liked Clover the best. Snake was cool too.

But he doesn't have boobs.

Shame we never got a portrait of her

Spoiler

in Zero form, dropping the facade like Ace did.

Would've been amazing.

 

[Koroviev]

But he doesn't have boobs.

This is the deciding factor. I can't vote for someone without boobs. It's unconscionable.

 

[Busaiku]

Real talk. I'd actually put him dead last, hell even Clover was better than him!

Yeah, I can agree there.
Well maybe not better, but not worse.

 

[Ken]

I liked June.

 

[perorist]

Looks like he has his eyes on the prize

But based on the demo so does Sigma (&#12288;&#12539;´&#65392;&#12539;&#65344

Cool. Amazon changed the delivery estimate for Friday for me. Better than Monday.

I'm sort of hoping they've saved something along those lines for the sequel.
I want to see Akane

Spoiler

in full "non-save me Jumpy" mode.
I want to see what she and Santa set out to do after the completion of the Nonary Game in 999.
Still so much material to tap with her twisted original Zero self and how she connects to Zero III in VLR

Junpei makes girls wet.

 

[Dark Schala]

Snake was the best character. End of story.

Junpei makes girls wet.

My favorite part of that entire scene is the punchline five minutes after you think it's done when Akane wonders what would happen if the ceiling broke and Junpei replies "We'd probably get wet... up there."

Clover above June? smh

 

[Cheska]

Put me on Team Lotus and Seven. I loved that both characters proved not to judge a book by it's cover.


Edit: Lol at the poll above. All the characters I tend to like seem to be lower on the list. Like that Persona one that was floating around a few weeks ago

 

[Busaiku]

Seven > Snake > Junpei = Zero > Lotus = Santa > June > Clover >= Ace > 9th guy

Spoiler

Was...was that really how it happened? It occurred to Junpei that perhaps that
was how it worked...
Perhaps he'd been mistaken all these years. Had he misunderstood life so
gravely?

Absolute best lines in the game.
Anyone who says otherwise clearly did not play the same game.

 

[UberTag]

My favorite part of that entire scene is the punchline five minutes after you think it's done when Akane wonders what would happen if the ceiling broke and Junpei replies "We'd probably get wet... up there."

Part of me still wonders if Akane knew straight up that she was leading Junpei on with that dialogue and was just pretending to be completely oblivious. (Actually, I'm fairly certain that was the case. She's got a knack for BS.)

You guys are all wrong. Clearly Funyarinpa>every other character.

His character made the game for me, and June of course.

I wonder how the characters would be ranked now that the game has had a little more exposure. I definitely didn't even know the game existed until November 2011

On a side note there is some interesting fan art out there for 999...

 

[Esura]

June = Clover > Lotus > Seven > Snake > Junpei > Santa > Ace

I'm afraid 9th man doesn't even make the list. I couldn't choose between June and Clover so I put them equal. Clover and June is just so adorable and you just wanna hug em and beat a mofo's ass for them cause you don't want them sad and stuff.

 

[Self_Destructive]

Can't wait to hear impressions! We need them NAO!

Tomorrow will be soooo goood

 

[stupei]

Snake > Lotus > June > Junpei > Clover > Santa > Seven = Ace > 9th Man

I might consider Snake and Lotus equal, but otherwise I agree.

And it's not even that Ace is a bad character. There are just a lot of really likable ones in this game.

Hm. Maybe I'd put him above Santa? Yeah, I probably would.

So:

Snake = Lotus > June > Junpei > Clover > Ace > Santa > Seven > 9th Man

 

[Roubjon]

I've gotta show some more Ace love in here. Ace, Seven, and Snake were my favorites. Santa was dead last.
