I'm assuming this based on seeing two 3DS owners independently complain about them being unskippable today. Perhaps it's just a non-intuitive process to skip them on that system.

Don't forget to check out your hit ratio on the 17 theories you threw together in your earlier post when you're done the game.
I will tell you that you got at least 1 of your guesses correct; I believe you're bang on about Alice's breast implants.

I thought that earlier this week. 5 hours later I was finally done.

Bwhahaha! Lord Hopington? Really Clover?!?
I literally LOL’d when Dio told her to shut up.

1. I don't even get why you can't do that in the 3DS version.
2.I think that is only with 1 file? I only saw it once I think. But still don't get how they didn't notice it.
3. I don't get why not unless 3DS saves have a max file size.
4. This one I don't even get at all.
5. Yea...
I loved the game but I would say at times it seems like a lazy port. Sad to say that about a game that is so good.
I hated doing puzzle rooms with her because she says the stupidest stuff ever.

Just got my second Character Ending:
Great info and all, but that very end. All of my WHAT?!? That was just so- I can't- AHGDFSLJGNDFJLNASD
I would totally stick to clearing
path tonight, but wow... It's 4:30. I've never stayed up this late for a game. Not even for 999.... I guess that's what I get for starting down a path at 1:30am though... >.>
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!?! MAKE IT STOOOPP!!! T_T
Clover.

Quark's

A lion eating the sun.
Really? I felt the opposite. She was gloomy and unsociable for most of 999 while she actually had some good moments in VLR.
In particular her behavior/dialogue in the lab puzzle room gave off a Maya (from PW series) vibe - Lord Hoppington etc.
Yeah, puzzle rooms with Clover were always the most enjoyable for me.
The laboratory was brilliant. I bet that Dio would have given up on his mission if he had to escape from any more rooms with her. 
I didn't mind Clover being gloomy though, she had a reason since she got sucked into a second Nonary game. This time around she seems pretty relaxed about it. Her interactions with Snake were awesome and infinitely better than "ALICE IS SO COOL I WANNA BE LIKE HER." I don't want Maya Fey in this game, it feels totally out of place and every time she made a lame joke I rolled my eyes.
Quark is mediocre but in half the scenarios
he's passed out anyway so I don't care
at least he has some semblance of a story

Quark's ending is such a troll:
Well, sure, I gave out my arm, but at least I got a nice harem with that!
weeeeeeeeeeeeell nope, here's a corpse, you don't get to bang the tittymonster
weeeeeeeeeeeeell nope, here's a corpse, you don't get to bang the tittymonster
hahaha, yea, that was kinda fucked up.

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo, Dio & K's endings...
*twirls out of control*

In Dio's bad ending
Sigma's plan seems to work. He's forever trapped with a very thankful Clover.

This game just keeps on getting better and better! The game is too addictive! I played for like 8 hours straight! The further in you get the more you realize just how thought out and amazing the story truly is. I can’t stress enough how clever this game is!
I unlocked my first lock - the 4th lock
It was such a cool moment! Some of these AB voting situations are so awesome/interesting, but holy shit...what the hell
Reading the diary about
And I saw a secret file that mentioned
Hnnnng! I’ve hardly read the others but I accidentally saw that one!
Something is definitely going on with
I unlocked my first lock - the 4th lock
(I made another vial of the cure for Radical 6).
Alice!? I save your ass just so you can kill me!?
Reading the diary about
Radical 6 was seriously chilling.
‘Jumpy!’
JUUUNE!
the way time flows from Radical 6.

Woo! Got my amazon issue addressed and started playing last night on 3ds. Comparing this to the vita demo, I do like the 999ish stylus controls better than using thumbs.
Visuals aren't as sharp, and 3d is not hot on black backgrounds( tech limitation?)
I'm a bit confused about the secret password thing. It was easily gotten for the first puzzle, but is it a lot harder to find for other ones or something?
I kinda don't wanna use easy mode, but I don't wanna miss out on tidbits :/
Also English va is really good! Wow.

Really? They all seemed pretty good to me. Clover may have turned into the standard character type here, but she has here moments here and there. (I for one am appreciative of all jokes, no matter how bad.)
Heh, yeah, I caught that part....
I just really want to know what that's an anagram for... >.> () or is it an anagram...?
You can turn down the volume... But I reallly don't see hy you'd want to.
Characters in all anime-style games sound a lot better in my head than they do with the same five voice actors who voice every character in everything.
And yes, that thing is an anagram. If you don't solve it yourself (which you probably won't because it's really big), it will be solved for you later.

Have you tried Japanese voice acting?
Yeah. It was really, really obvious that the text didn't match the voices. Also I have no use for voices I mostly can't understand. It might as well be noise.
Okay... Strange opinion, but if you think so I can't do anything about that.
Just play as you like. Remember that you have to beat all puzzle rooms on hard (and I think you need to find all gold files) to unlock the very last ending.

Is this worth playing if I haven't played 999?
It's a good game in its own right, but if you can play 999 then you should. But I wouldn't say it's mandatory.
There's a few parts of the game where you'll go, "Oh really, okay." instead of, "HOLY SHIT!" if you don't, but on the most part Virtue's Last Reward stands well on its own.
Another option would be to look at a playthrough of 999 on youtube or somesuch.
Well yeah, the sentence structure in Japanese is completely different from English. Plus, the JP version had a lot of word play, which only works for the Japanese language, so changes in the translation were mandatory.

Finished the Alice Ending. Now, I've got five main endings, and I've gone pretty far down almost every route.
So, spoiler filled thoughts and speculation based on most every route:
A lot on my mind thanks to this game. I'm sure 90% of what I've said in here is completely wrong, but it's fun to try and piece things together.
So, spoiler filled thoughts and speculation based on most every route:
I've been trying to figure out why the old woman's body is never discovered on the right most route. The thought that occurs to me is that Dio and Luna are working together. The old woman was found in Luna's gate (although it was disguised to make it look like K's). Perhaps the reason she was never found in the right route is because Dio and Luna were able to do something different because they were together. I keep going back to the fact that Dio chose 'ally', when he always chooses 'betray' otherwise. That would mean that Luna likely killed Alice in the left route.
Ace being connected to 'Free the Soul' changes some things, too. I'm not sure how much that ties into everything, but it means that Free the Soul's goals have to do with the morphogenetic fields. It gives more explanation behind the first nonary game, and I'm guessing that the group's goals probably will include using the fields to bring humanity in line with their ideals.
Still stumped on K. I'm not sure if he's the real Sigma (with the player character being a Gaulem), or what. He's certainly connected to Akane, though, who I'm still convinced is the old woman.
For that matter, why did Zero Jr allow Dio to play the game? He didn't seem surprised by his inclusion, despite him killing the old woman to get in it, and he didn't stop it as a rules violation. Perhaps Dio killing her was foreseen by the real Zero? Maybe it is part of Zero's plan, unknown to Dio.
It seems very likely now that the characters are currently in the future, after the Radical 6 pandemic. Perhaps the goals of Zero have to do with using morphogenetic fields to stop the pandemic in the past, ala 999 where they stop Akane's death. Not sure how the lunar eclipse ties in with the date, though. Dio's ending has them emerging in the midst of an eclipse, but it seems like a lot more time than just 6 days have passed, and Dio makes some comment that sounds like it's well after Radical 6.

I would recommend playing 999 regardless, one of the best stories ever.
Seconded
PLAY 999 FIRST

According to Rising Star Games facebook, it seems like they're bringing the game on 3DS eShop too.
