>there are people out there praising Junpei's VA

too expensive for a couple vita ports

>40 bucks for a 7 year old easily emulated game and its messier sequel
Nah, fuck off Uchi

changes made for the platform such as the final puzzle

It's not a sudoku anymore?

no. i'm just gonna copypasta from the last thread
Puzzle is you can swap a number/letter from the grid with the bottom. Solution is literally just spell out "password"

Thats almost comically dumb. Why not keep the same puzzle?

Man, I thought it was just not upside down anymore. I guess the sodoku is too hard for the casual retards.

anime

Are you trying to trick me? There's no way this is true.

Finally I can speedhack instead of slogging through a new game. Lost my save in the second game and had no motivation to play again.

I refuse to believe this

I mean it's not my screenshot, I literally just copypastad what was in the last thread. I haven't gotten to the ending myself yet.

It wouldn't be the only thing they've changed for the port though. As was also said in an earlier thread, Akane is no longer the one that says "Huh. Did I leave that open?" regarding Junpei's window when he's kidnapped.

So does this game contain 2 games or 3?

2. 999 and VLR.

999 crashes after the credits so I can't finish any route.

Nah that's what it is. It took me a long time to solve it because I'm retarded and I missed the obvious hint that was only said once.

Also they can't spell terminated.
>termed

How much did I miss out on playing only the pc version? On one had the bottom screen trickery sounds like it contributed a lot towards the final twist. On the other hand, the flow chart is just really nice to have while trying to get all the endings.

I'd say the final twist was worth it. The game emulates fine, if you'd be willing to slog through without the flowchart.

【F】 as always.

I'd recomend that you emulate ds version completely blind. Do one playthrough. After that I'd suggest looking up the choices you have to make to actually reach the proper ending - although if you're having a great time you can keep going at it blind trying to work it out but to be honest with you I really like the agme but I do not have that much patience.

At least the babes were good.

>upscaling sprites that were not meant for higher resolutions

Why do they do this shit? Phoenix Wright trilogy had the exact same problem.

They didn't they redid all the art.

What do you mean? When I examined them I had people commenting on them, like June said that hers wasn't attractive or sexy and shit.

It wouldn't be too much of a slog since the two routes are pretty much unique. Won't be that bad when I replay it in the future. I guess I'll do this.

Also I'm a little way into VLR. Poor clover going through this shit for a third time. Won't be surprised when she snaps and kills everyone...again. Also got the K betrayal ending first. Wasn't even mad or surprised. This dude is fucking great.

For some reason, when I examined the cards for the first time I didn't get the lines. Worked immediately after I posted though.

Ahaha. They really changed the final puzzle? I'm so glad I didn't buy this. I can see what they tried to do with the "two screen" option to simulate the setup the DS had. It could have worked but even the pre-release demo/video by Aksys looked clunky. Shit really hit the fan for this series since ZTD.

DS version of 999 is superior.

Does the VA sound at least decent throughout?

Honestly guys, anyone who is on the fence about getting this game should really just get the ds version (or at least emulate it). It is one of the best examples i've ever seen where the physical hardware interacts with narrative and gameplay beyond button inputs.

JP sounds fine.
Only instance I've bothered with in the English dub is the "get wet" scene, in which Junpei actually sounds genuinely funny, but Akane is just outright annoying.

>get wet

FUCKING

DROPPED

Why does Spike Chunsoft like being _Ace_ so damn much since ZTD.

You. You're what's wrong.

...

Can we agree that Santa and Seven deserve more love?

...

He was the biggest bro.

I think they're loving eachother plenty already

Who the fuck would want to do sudoku upside down, with a fucking keyboard and mouse?
Nobody.

I personally think they're mediocre characters desu. They just don't have the depth of other Zero Escape characters and both are borderline useless since the other characters are either smarter or get much more shit done than them, for better or worse.

>777x777
Nice.
>82 kb
SOILED IT

>They just don't have the depth of other Zero Escape characters and both are borderline useless since the other characters are either smarter or get much more shit done than them, for better or worse.
Examples please.

Snake is gone for 2/3 of the game, but still manages to get across puzles with his intellect and help out against Ace
Ace is the killer and responsable for lots of shit in other endings.
Clover can go bananas and kill everyone
Junpei is the main protagonist
June is Zero and directly involved with the game itself.
Lotus...well, she's fucking useless and just fanservice besides that one thing she did with a computer.
Bomb man is also terrible.

I tried

ayy

Checked

Seven provides some good background information about the ship you're on and about previous events, keeps the doors open, and has a lot of genuinely good ideas. Seven does a lot despite missing his memory for most of the game.

Beautiful work user.

...

>Clover can go bananas and kill everyone
You rather should've mentioned how she was carring for Snake.
>Ace is the killer and responsable for lots of shit in other endings.
And besides that? I know his character was fake but a character nonetheless.
>Lotus...well, she's fucking useless and just fanservice besides that one thing she did with a computer.
I remember her explaining multiple things others don't know.

But honestly who cares who is more useful or not? The depth of these characters is argueble since other got more screentime for a purpose.
Also
>smarter
They all seemed to have a similar level of intelligence besides Snake who obviously has more knowledge and ACE for being a 10/10 actor.

>And besides that? I know his character was fake but a character nonetheless.
That actually kind of confuses me. How he acts for the majority of the game and for the ending makes sense together, but how he acts when he's the killer seems really incongruous with those. It's like they had to write him to suddenly be the stock psycho killer archetype just for the sake of having a villain for people to be scared of in those scenes.

Cute

I think this can be forgiven since his plan had been shattered in less than 10 minutes. Even his acting skills couldn't help and he got mad.

novel or adventure mode which is better?

what was orignal?

so, should I emulate the DS version of 999 and pick this up when it goes super cheap for VLR? or did they fuck that up too?
never played this series before and was hoping the steam release would be a good entry point

DS

CUTE!

I've been having this problem too and it's driving me up the fucking wall, is there a way to have it not crash and therefore be able to get the true end?

Not found a fix so far. From looking around at others who have had it it might be a problem on win 10 and so I might see if I can get one of the endings in a win 7 VM by copying over a save before one of the ends and play though the credits again.

I was literally looking forward to the sodoku puzzle. fuck me.

>Ace is voiced by Raiden

The game's idea of exposition is out-of-character text dumps.

ZTD retroactively ruined both games in it.

Come to think of it, did they completely remove the significance with when stuff played out on the top screen and bottom screen or did they adapt that in some way?

Quinton Flynn is Ace? Are you fucking kidding me?

Was he apart of some kind of buy 1 get one free sale?

They might as well have got Erin Fitzgerald to voice ace, at least she SOUNDS like a man.

RUINED

They added "Novel" and "Adventure" modes. Novel has the bottom screen narration + top screen voice lines, Adventure is just the voice lines.

not LET 'ER RIP Raiden, Blunder God Raiden.

>super expensive for two old games
>instead of coming up with something clever to deal with the final puzzle they just turned it into something lame

wow

does anyone have have a completed save file in desemu? i actually want to try out the last puzzle

Not really ideal. Do those modes translate well into the escape room parts?

you're going to replay the puzzles again and again on the DS. you have no flowchart.

Use Japanese for 999 and English for VLR
It sounds better and those are the languages they are speaking in each game

>What went wrong
Hack writer getting credit for writing "deep" stories because morons got confused and mistook it for the writing being clever.

Do you mean in the actual gameplay or in the rooms' exposition dumps? They don't factor into the former and they're the exact same in the latter.

Started 999 for the first time. Finished both paths of the first fork. Is this how I do it, or should I just go one route, then return later? Not trying to be retarded, I've tried the game on DS and I don't think the option to instantly replay any route was present in that version.

But 999 takes place in nevada. It makes sense for most of the characters to speak english at least.

But everyone other than Snake and Clover are Japanese.

>It makes sense for most of the characters to speak english at least.

no it fucking doesn't. they don't know they're in nevada.

I thought you could jump around in this one.

You can visit previous nodes you have read through on the flow chart by clicking on them a few times.

This makes me wonder how Junpei's English is so good in ZTD in makes sense in VLR, Akane I can understand because of her parents

>they got rid of the sudoku
this is bullshit

Put this file in the "states" folder with the exact same name as the ROM. Load it and it should take you right before the puzzle.

Did they change Young Akane's voice for her cameo in VLR so it matches up with ZTD and 999?

Just watched some clips, hearing him say a monotone "Oh my god.." is terrible

Japanese VAs for 999 are so fucking good. How did they fuck up VLRs?

VLR isn't meant to be played in Japanese

uwot
unless they changed the voice tracks idk what you're talking about, the JP VAs for VLR were great

You talking shit about Chiaki Omigawa?

user, you're a gentleman and a scholar.

who?

>Chiaki Omigawa
my esper

Phi.

SANTA DID NOTHING WRONG

This scene is fucked up now.

VLR was a mistake.

999 is an standalone game with NO sequels

>the significance with when stuff played out on the top screen and bottom screen

Literally any significance is conveyed by the switch in writing perspective.

VLR is better than 999 though.
