At least this one has clothes she can un-fanservice by zipping up. It's her choice, now! :v:

I guess Phi came to the realization that she was a video game character and decided to make her clothes as ridiculous as possible.

Clearly Clover has inhabited the body of Phi, thus imbuing her with Clover's power of terrible fashion sense.

I think ZE3 is gonna be intense you guys. It's shaping up to be some Saw level poo poo. :shittypop:

E: My only question is why the other teammates are strapping others in Saw type devices. Maybe they need to decide on who risks their lives to make it to the next room to escape and have to draw straws?

I don't think there's much here that wasn't already in Famitsu last week.

The caption for "Cinema Part" says these scenes are told via actions and dialogue only, fully voiced and without any text boxes.

An uncountable number, to be sure.
Marco is labeled as the protagonist, and he's the only one labeled as such. I thought the previous information said something about the leaders of each team?

If the dog is meant to transport messages between the three groups, then does that mean at least one out of the three in each group has to survive? 2 dying in each group will end up getting the 6 needed passwords for the X door, but if all 3 die in a group then there's no way to retrieve their acquired passwords (unless the dog can read and write or some poo poo).

If this is the case, then it is inevitable that Akane or Junpei die and Phi or Sigma will die, which given their personal relationships will make for interesting tension. It'd be some dark humor if Phi and Sigma are chill about dying because "lol no big deal we'll just jump timelines anyways". The website also mentions the choice of trying to find an alternate way out, which is probably the route to the True Ending and probably some obscure play through that involves seeing every other Bad End first.

Also, VLR made it sound like Junpei hadn't seen Akane ever since the events of 999. Are they going to retcon that with this game?

Yeah. Does Junpei ever say that in the True Ending of VLR? I can't remember. Anything that wasn't explicitly stated in the True Ending is fair game.

That would make sense. Our image of her is nice as a result of Luna, so it'd be a good way to play with expectations.

Since Diana is player-controlled I guess it's up to us whether we re-enact the VLR timeline.

Either she or Eric will be the psycho murderer this time around.

It'd be funny if like in VLR where they did an inversion of expectations of having the rear end in a top hat member of the group actually be an rear end in a top hat, this time they invert our expectation of Diana being all nice and sweet and she ends up being a brutal killer. :unsmigghh:

e: Also, will the kid/Q be able to die in this game? I seriously don't want to have this derail like it does when the Fallout game threads talk about this, but I still think it will end up being like VLR where Quark had immunity to dying or being hurt in any way. How the game will be able to reconcile this with it being likely that 2/3 of each group needs to die to get the passwords will be... Tricky, to say the least.

e2: I also hope they don't reuse VLR's plot twist of Kyle/Akane using the Shroedinger's Cat effect to switch identities based on causality for Q's real identity. He'll probably end up being Mira's long lost son or something.

They're saying they're going to ratchet it back up to 999 levels, so I wouldn't count on Q having immunity.

Yeah, you're right. She either says she wasn't there or she can't elucidate on what specifically happen otherwise it will poof the alternate non-apocalypse timeline in a cloud of fourth dimensional fairy dust.

Also, another missing thread is (VLR true end spoilers) Kyle/?/the Player has to jump into somebody's body for the Mars Test Site game. Is it going to be some weird intersecting timelines mindfuck where we, The Player, are literally playing against an alternate VLR timeline of The Player ourselves? Or is it going to be like Fate; Stay Night (whatever it is called) where "The Player" is a separate character in-game? :psyduck:

Because, knowing ZE's logic, it'd be possible that VLR!Player has to go back in time to stop ZE3!Player from loving everything up and starting the apocalypse, which is... Giving me a headache thinking it all out.

I feel like an insane schizophrenic conspiracy theorist any time I try to speculate on Zero Escape. :tinfoil:
