You should probably spoiler that entire paragraph. Just blocking those three words isn't really enough.

All the pieces are slowly coming together, but I still can't figure out the bigger picture.

should be semi close
You might be up all night just from all the times your mind will be blown at the climax. I'm still reeling, been thinking about the game all day.
I got frustrated and quit for now. Besides, after beating Asura's Wrath today, I want a break from epic conclusions lol. I'll save it for tomorrow.
How ya doin'.

So. I beat it.
I can't believe how angry I am. I've clocked over 40 hours, not counting my crash, and played through every bit of text. I feel...
I guess I'll hop over to the spoiler topic, but after adoring 999, I have such a bad taste in my mouth. Sheesh!
and then I spent five minutes looking for the next unspoken branch after "another time". I actually went to Gamefaqs and checked topics, hoping I had missed something.

like I've been trolled by a friggen middle episode. Like quality was intentionally dropped to set up part 3. Best part of the game was Luna's ending, and the only plot twist I didn't call meant nothing to me. (Dr. Klim)

I guess got Luna's ending. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
Only have two left, Quark and Phi...random speculations:

I'm guessing the old lady is Akane, and something about the actual warehouse location seems odd to me. Might just be the way the area was modeled but I felt like in Dio's ending the place seemed like it was on the moon/different planet instead of a desert.
I have noooo clue what the connection sigma and phi have here, guessing a lot of bombs will be dropped there. Tenmyoji is still a big question mark aside from the picture of Akane, but he seemed to know her. If he's someone from 999(snake?) I'm gonna implode.

Haha...YAAAAAY for randomly doing the electricity puzzle in the Control Room!
My brain was melting so I just randomly pushed levers and got it in 5 minutes!

Got my first To Be Continued on the leftmost path, then got my first ending on the immediate path next to that, which was kind of a letdown as far as endings go...
Well, hopefully more WTF/disturbing endings akin to 999 are in store.
Tenmyouji uses an unconscious Quark to open the 9 door then leaves you behind

My mind was full of fuck when I first finished 999. Respect, son.
There's a lot of context and wtfness to that shot that you won't understand unless you've played 999.

yeah i played 999. I expected something else from that shot.
And huh, Clover ending is indeed an ending.
Think im done for the night lol.

Right-most path: Oh man, how I eventually got
was a complete mind bender.
Im still trying to wrap my head around it!
I found it odd that Sigma, Clover, Luna and K didnt press the issue of
I hope that gets explained as I stopped after the
Phi not to open the number 9 door
The fourth wall is breakiiiiiiiiiiiiing!

explanation of the brooch with Phi.
lol, for real. I need to stop reading the thread until I'm closer to finishing all the routes.

That shot was a master-stroke.
Did you get it yourself or watch it online? Because it is VERY significant.
And then VLR ruins it.
expected what? 999 basically explained everything about that which was why it is was mindblowing...until VLR.
yup, not a fan of the retcon, tbh. my only gripe with VLR's connection to 999.
It's really not. (Major 999 spoilers)
999 wrapped up everything, and casually explains that the All-Ice thing was a myth, and that there was just a plant in the coffin, no woman. The game is wrapped up. Finished.
And then you see a dancing, naked Egyptian woman in the middle of the desert, and the game ends with Clover stopping to let her in.

It is absolute genius, because it catches you completely off guard. I actually wish they'd left it ambiguous, and not had any mention of it in VLR. The VLR explanation is... Unsatisfactory.
it was a pretty forced explanation and does ruin that ending shot. i think new 999 players might be less shocked than us 999 vets if they read up on anything VLR-related before playing it.
Honestly, I think they had no choice but to explain it. I'd rather they just get it out of the way than avoid it, at which point it becomes a bigger deal than it should be.
Yeah, it's not ideal, but I'm not complaining. It's pretty much sweeped to the side once you've had the explanation.

i agree, they had to do something. altho there was probably no need to make
Alice a character in VLR then. She really didn't add much to anything other than constantly killing herself. It could've been anyone else and the Alice ending shot could've been a fun thing where it was either a mystery or just a joke

Just got the K ending as well. I don't think I'm as shocked given the events in the rightmost path, seeing as how

I know Sigma's a robot.
You'll be shocked before you hit the end. Guaranteed.
I guessed a few major plot points dead-on, and it still managed to catch me off guard.

Well, I'm worried an early image from one of Sigma's early revelations was a major spoiler, but I hope I'll still be surprised.
It shows an explosion on the moon.
you're not spoiled at all.
