I also disapprove of that direction with the transporter...I'm just gonna convince myself that Zero was lying. |

Well, finished it a while ago. It's not just the transporter I don't like--the technology in general was way too advanced. VLR gets a pass with its technology because it takes place in the future, but ZTD was only supposed to take place a year after 999. It was fun, but the pacing/balance was way off (with the first half being pretty much only puzzle rooms and the second half being pretty much only plot), and there were just way too many unanswered questions and plot holes for it to be the satisfying conclusion to the trilogy that I think people expected it to be. |

That's generally what I think as well I suppose. I do appreciate how each ZE game feels mechanically different but still ZE-ish, but this game really just didn't deliver as many twists as I would've liked nor have as many memorable characters compared to the casts of the previous games I think budgetary reasons prevented this game from being what it could've and playing it now makes me wish it had another year in development. Apparently Uchikoshi wrote D Team while two other writers wrote C Team and Q Team, which explains why Akane felt so off and why Carlos/Eric/Mira kind of fell flat Still no excuse for Phi being criminally underused though |

I just finished it today and... yeah. I wonder how much of the issues were due to scheduling and how much was due to changing it from VN to cinematic cutscenes. Spoiler: Endgame stuff In the end, the game does have a lot of good points and didn't completely drop the ball with the ending (far too many shows I've watched chose to just... kind of leave everything open), so I do like it. It just could have been better. I'll probably be watching someone else run through the game over the next several months (based on how often they play it), so I'll get a chance to see the game again while knowing all the spoilers and see if some things make more sense. |

By the way, this is a bit of a prologue to the game written by Uchikoshi. No spoilers (in fact I'll probably recommend newcomers read this first), just don't read the comments: https://www.reddit.com/r/ZeroEscape/com ... m_the_art/ @blahmoomoo Spoiler: Endgame Stuff |

So I've reached a point where I don't know what the fuck to do, I've cleared all of the available fragments, now all that's left is a bunch of roadblocks This is one problem I've always had with this series; getting the best/true endings has a lot less to do with using logic to work out the right path and a lot more with just trying everything and eventually getting lucky. It wasn't as big a deal in the previous games since there was enough interesting story and character development to keep me going, but in ZTD, there's been hardly any story and what there has been is all over the place due to the fragment gimmick, plus we already know who half the cast is so Spoiler: General ZTD spoilers Spoiler: Q, Door of Truth, Force Quit spoilers Spoiler: Carlos and Portrait I guess at this point I have to either go back through all the story segments and hope something else activates or look up a walkthrough |

Yeah I went back and checked all the bits on the flow chart, did a couple of 'obvious death' choices to max it out. Still nothing, no secret ending or anything so far as I can see. Right let's open the spoiler box. Spoiler: ZTD End |

It's a good game and I'd recommend it, it's just that parts of the story didn't live up to expectations. |

Just recently bought the game. Played through the opening sequence and Diana's first fragment. Thoughts so far... I cannot stress how much I hate the art direction in this game. VLR was an absolutely beautiful game with nicely expressive characters. This game is almost painful to look at, and the characters seem to have the same expression plastered on their faces the whole time. Not to mention, Phi's redesign in particular makes me want to gag (might not be so bad if the artwork looked more like the previous two games, but it doesn't, so it is). Having cinematics in place of novel segments feels really off to me. Not to mention, I have a hard time wanting to even watch the cinematics due to the aforementioned ugly art style. Side note: Playing it on the Vita, and at one point during Carlos' first fragment, Akane's ponytail started glitching and flipping out all over the place. Amusing, but they really should have tested the cinematics better to ensure crap like that didn't happen. |

Spoiler: Left So I finished the game just yesterday. I think overall it's at the level of 999 but pretty far from VLR in my personal scale. And now more long and spoilery thoughts: Spoiler: |

About halfway through the game now (I think?), and I like teams C and D, but I really hate Q Team. There is nothing likable about Mira's character, and as "hot" as she supposedly is, those unearthly green eyes ruin it for me. Eric is a pathetic loser with virtually no redeeming qualities, and I just don't give a crap about Q. At least in VLR, I was able to find something I liked about most of the new characters, but in a game where you have only five new characters (six, if Zero ends up being someone outside the teams), it's a problem if I end up liking less than half of them. My judgement on Zero will have to wait until I understand his/her motive though. Of course, Carlos and Diana had a leg up on the competition just because they're voiced by Tomokazu Sugita and Mamiko Noto, respectively. Even so, I rather like their characters regardless (I might possibly end up liking Q a bit more depending on what happens, but I'm not holding my breath). |
