Yep. If you compare the art for Akane to the sprite, the actual face is completely different.
Doesn't matter though, they still looked good.

Thinks have been picking up lately. I got Quark, Alice, and Sigma's endings back to back to back tonight.... well... this morning, since it's almost 4 AM now >_>
I really like the whole
I really like the whole
meta jumping mechanic and how it ties into the game's story, and as you progress further in the game you find yourself utilizing the jump on a more frequent basis.
I like both, so that's exactly what I'm saying about the 3D models too.
They can even look like this:
Welp, just got the
ending.
First time i've felt mindfucked playing this game this far and I have only completed 2 routes...
I was laughing about the outcome and then that image popped on screen and my brain went

Three Things!
1. So today I switched to the Japanese voice acting and it was super impressive! The mouth movement for the characters also matches what they say pretty much perfectly (not that it bothers me with the English voices)
2. I dont understand why Tenmyouji
Seems a little bit odd to me.
3. The whole three people were
I forgot the details.

would trust Clover. I mean sure they played the last Nonary Game, but didnt clover hack him with an axe?! Why the hell would you trust her Tenmyouji?
3. The whole three people were
in three pods is an interesting development. Clover must be one of them, and another should be Alice but.....can someone refresh me on whats up with Alices body?

I'm like half-hysterical laughing right now, have this weird smile on my face, and I have no idea what is going to happen anymore lol
BUT I LOVE IT SO MUCH
Kind of like this picture:
That never happened.
Remember that June was projecting into possible futures, so the only path that actually occurred was the True Path
Uh, I mean
She's sorry about what she did

Oh duh! Stupid me! Thanks!
Also, those Clover gif's = ♥
Clover in general is just ♥. I never understood why many people only think of her as an axe murderer.
However the sad Clover gif is kinda creepy, because her hands are so tiny and her right arm looks like it's broken.

?????
Clover, Alice and Phi were frozen in these pods. There is nothing wrong with Alice's body.

Eh, I think the majority of the VLR cast is great. There's really only one of them I don't care for at all.
Dio, for pretty obvious reasons. Clover, Quark and Tenmyouji are alright, but I really like Sigma, Phi, Luna, Alice & K.
Overall I have more favorites in VLR than in 999, but I don't really consider them as competing groups.
Got my first actual ending. The Clover ending.
My first "HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED" moment for this game.

As for the last part,
My first "HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED" moment for this game.
I liked that
we got a great recap of what happened to Clover between games
the game just casually dropping one of the biggest spoilers for 999. Makes the whole "you don't need to play 999 to enjoy this" thing like a load of bull.
As for the last part,
Everyone is dead, except for K and Quark. Quark was still in the pods so it couldn't be him... but where the hell did K go? What the hell was up with Phi when Sigma ran into her before he found the corpses? And how did Phi go from looking like shit to being dead among the others? WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Around 25 hours in and I have to agree so far. Having more likable characters could have made "betray" during the ambidex round be much more of a mindfuck.
Just finished the game. I really love how the story is structured and that they sometimes give you those little revelations (as in some of the stuff you can probably guess before it's revealed), only to then blow your mind with the bigger picture.
There were two puzzle solutions I still don't get and only found out by guessing (especially the gold file in
and the normal solution in
, but I guess that's just me being stupid.
What I really didn't like was the overuse of "Morphogenetic Sorrow". That song belongs to a special scene in 999 and should stay there.

You know it's actually the series' main theme right? It shows up in both the Main theme for 999 and in Virtue Is Its Last Reward, and it's the little sting played when you finish a room. If you're speaking about the track itself, I think it only plays once in VLR in its entirety, and the moment is super relevant.
Doesn't it just play the orchestral one once, and that's during the credits? And the piano version only plays
in a scene relating to Akane? Though I don't recall which.
Either way, it didn't bother me too much. It's by far the best track across both games.
Nope. They start the same, but that's all. They're very different tracks. (I'm referring to the 999 main theme by the way)
Oh. Okay, that's actually a waste.
Should have played
in the epilogue when you meet the young Akane
Yeah, I know. Could have sworn the track was in more than one scene, but anyway, it's not really important. The game's great.
They use it in a couple of tracks.
I really like Ambidex being a remix of Unary game...
They use VLR's Confession track instead.

Thanks for spoiling which
3 characters were in the pods.
Haven't had too many "action" scenes yet, but while the general (atmospheric) OST is fantastic, that part of the OST could be better, like with 999.
Still, very much enjoying the game!
I have two spoilerly questions: I'd be really appreciative for some low-spoiler answers:
1. regarding left-most path
Please only indicate yes/no~ish, no concrete answers as to which path/scene the answers are found in.
2. regarding true ending path: Are there provisions/locks/whatever that prevent one from accidentally stumbling upon the true end? I would like to do that one last. Do I need to actively avoid the path or will the game not allow me to reach the true end without having completed all the other paths?
If there is no protection against accidentally stumbling upon the path, could someone tell me which path it is?
Thanks a lot.

Regarding the director's room password. In what way do I receive it? As part of a (gold) file or during a normal conversation = it isn't recorded? Are the user name / password combination explicitly named?

Sorry, misread your question. Thought you wanted a refresher for the whole thing about the pods.
I didn't tell you everything about them, so don't worry too much.
Don't worry, he's wrong anyway... OR IS HE?
there that should reset your brain

LOL, thanks for the effort, but I know deep down that he’s right. Hopefully it wasn’t a big deal and it gets revealed soon. I should probably try harder and avoid this thread! -_-

Best line in the game.
Who did that voice, anyway?
And I've been impressed by the 3d models so far, especially how they carried over some of Clover's mannerisms from 999. Still a bit lacking, but far better than I was fearing.
I think it's kind of a natural occurrence of it being a prisoner's dilemma that makes characters not trust each other and leads to how they act in the game. There are certainly times where picking betray made me feel bad, even outside of
Luna
I'm on the home stretch now and should probably finish the game by today.
I'm looking forward to seeing how it ends. Everything is tying together at this point but there are still some major questions unanswered.
Something I really, really like is how Sigma pulls together his memories from every different timeline. The way he does it is exactly the same way that we do it as the player. We remember certain specific events and details, but we have no idea when in time it happened because we've seen so much stuff and it all kind of blends together. So whenever he has one of those premonitions, we basically feel the same exact way Sigma does. I think it is incredibly well done.

The final ending is tremendous. I wasn't convinced by the story at all until I watched the final ending, and then I was just like "Oh, SNAP!".
Also I have to mention, the fact that they managed to squeeze 30 hours of gameplay here is pretty outstanding. I don't even remember where all the time went and for the most part none of it felt like filler at all, because it isn't; it's basically all essential to the story. I guess I'm just amazed at a 30 hour long story in a video game. I guess I understand why they are called visual novels now, lol.

My game arrived today! So why am I not at home right now playing?
Yeah. Took me nearly 38 hours for everything.
Very, very impressive.
Persona Arena, take note. This is how interesting visual novels are done.
Short question about the Vita version: I noticed that the game save doesn't appear in the content manager like my other games do. Does this mean this game saves on the game card?
And what will happen when I try to start it from another account? Now that I'm done with the game, I wanted to switch the Vita to my girlfriend's account and let her play, but I don't want to lose my save.

They played it three times if memory serves:
-
Luna explaining Akane's death in her ending
-
Akane telling Tenmyouji to wait a little longer in the Q room
-
Sigma looking out the window in End or Beginning and seeing the reactors exploding
And of course they play the piano/orchestral versions over the ending credits.
