Oh good. Now to poke through the Secret Files.
Haha, they have an entry for EU
I can finally join my brethren in looking through spoiler tags and laughing at the people who haven't finished the game yet!

Maybe the rest of the endings will change my opinion but so far, 30 hours in on the current run, with one more face icon left to unlock on the save, I am still in the opinion that 999 is better in atmosphere, story, and characters. The whole thing in that game feels more.... personal, than Zero Escape.
The only ending that 'got' me emotionally so far was
I am just a weaksauce with stuff like that.........................
Hmmm well I guess it's not fair to judge before I see it all though.

Are the setting/visuals of the first couple hours representative of the rest of the game? The ship in 999 was just more interesting to look at / exist in.
There has been a nice standout room but generally yeah, everything is pretty drab and grey. I am really liking VLR but I don't think the warehouse setting can touch the ship.
I think you're forgetting one of the rooms. There are two rooms in the game that are big departures.
B. Garden, and Q. The Archives and the Security room are pretty different too.

The sprite work in the original game was so goooood. The 3D models in VLR are not bad, but they look so... sterile.There's more.
But you have to finish all the rooms on hard.

Nuclear Winter had the side effect of making them all look like ugly 3D. They were actually beautiful 2D hand-drawn peoplez before.
Or, the Moon is 3D, the Earth is 2D.

I liked the 3D models more than I thought I would based on screenshots, but they still can't compare to the sprites from the original game.
I do hope that we see sprites again next game. 999's look was so good.

the models looks good in some parts and looks like a ps1 game in others

It just occurred to me that Zero reminds me of the taxi from Muppetvision 4-D.

I actually prefer the 3D models, but I just wish that they animated more stuff. Instead, you're left staring at a prerendered image for several minutes at a time.

You have to be kidding me with this epilogue mission really?
edit: short cut for the win

Some more transitional stuff would have been nice. I really like the 3d for the portraits.
keep going

I should avoid this thread like a plague until I get to see all the endings it seems.
Even with only one portrait left to unlock in the save file this place is still a hazardous land to traverse..........

i did the epilogue mission is that it?
If you don't mean the new branch at the very bottom-right of the timeline... check that area out. (Assuming you have every gold file)
I've got a question about one of the timelines:
Thanks.
So I've entered the Director's Office with Phi and I'm at the point where I need to type in the Username and Password on the Computer. I've already gotten K's ending, so I think that would be the password for it, but I'm not sure what the Username is. I'm just unsure if I've found the username for it yet or not. Does the game make it fairly obvious what the Username is, just like it did for K's password? And if not, mind telling me what branch of the timeline it is found in?
Thanks.
The game will make it pretty obvious when you get the ID, complete with the whole talk about "the two-headed lion devouring the sun" again.
Try not to read too much into that comment right now. It'll make sense when the time comes for it to make sense.

There's two of those. One at the very top of the timeline, and one at the very bottom right. The latter only shows up if you did all the puzzle rooms on hard.

yea just completed the botom one, did no see it pop up beofore
After finishing VLR I'd say it's not required to understand VLR's plot, but several parts of VLR will have much less impact without playing 999 first.
i'd say it's required to play first. some of the plot twists regarding certain characters are going to sound fucking crazy. 999 starts off in a place that's our reality, at least.

VLR spoils the big spoilers of 999. You could play just VLR by itself, but you would be missing out on one of the best DS games ever.

so hey, this has probably been asked a million times, but -- uh -- is this as, like, good as 999?

No need to beat around the bush guys 
I say playing 999 is pretty much required to play this game.

That's Luna's ending down, now.
In the home stretch now.
Excited to see how everything ties up as I approach the final act of the game.

That ending definitely packed a wallop, and also answered several questions. But I still am really curious about what exactly Akane and Zero were planning, and how K ties in with all of that.
