Transporter room: Got the 5 digit number from above the nucleus (27951), stuck it through the converter, got 12/9/5/1. I assume those are the cards I need for the little card game thing but there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to what the AI card is and the best I've gotten is three wins followed by the two sun cards destroying each other, then nothing happens. I figured pretty much everything else out, but this last bit is completely incomprehensible to me.

I think that The game thing is just to help you work out the ordering. "The sensor" is in the nucleus itself, click just below the thing that displays the code number.

Isn't that also coincidentally the drop rate for the 'legendary' items in Earthbound like the Sword of Kings and Goddess Ribbon etc as well?

I have no idea why I'm so stumped in the healing room. I found all the keys in the harpsichord, filled the glass and pitcher with water, did the bud puzzle, stabbed the poster, and noted some weird stuff but I have no idea what to actually do next.

You can click on that thing? Seriously? I have no idea how you were supposed to know that outside of clicking on literally everything because that does not look interactive at all.

That was the first thing I did!

Q team is just as hosed up as most of us anticipated, if not worse. It's risky to introduce new main characters in the final game of a trilogy, but this team doesn't feel like a waste of time at all.

Man Junpei (very early character impressions, no specifics) does not give a single gently caress

I love that apparently it wasn't living for years in a post apocalyptic earth that turned him into a bitter old man, he turned into that in just a year after 999 :v:

So, first hour of the game here and I have a question about important decisions 2-4. Does anything interesting happen if I have each team vote for the team they were asked NOT to vote for, thus still spreading the votes around?

Same here. Akane specifically mentions "three tries" in the following cinema, so it's scripted.

Most perplexing thing in the game so far (serious spoilers and speculation based on them ahead) (D team, post manufacturing room):

Sigma comes to the conclusion that this timeline is the one that lines up with the future he remembers. He loses his eye and arms, radical-6 escapes, and Diana gives the speech on the recording from VLR. It all seems to line up...

Except Akane and Junpei are dead. In VLR they are both very much alive. So how can this be reconciled? It would be easy to simply assume Sigma is wrong, but how could you explain him making that mistake? He knows they're alive in his timeline. There's no way he could get confused about that.

So assuming he's right, what does this mean? I can think of two possibilities - one, they're not really dead and Sigma knows it somehow.

But my theory is related to something that's been bothering me for a while now. Why are Akane and Junpei even here? They never mentioned it in VLR. In fact, it is a plot point in both these games that no one knew what happened here. It's why Phi and Sigma were so unprepared. And yet if we take this game at face value, Akane should know everything. She should have been able to prepare Sigma for what would happen at any time during their 45 years knowing each other.

So really this ending serves to cement my doubts - the Akane and Junpei in this game are some kind of impostors and Sigma is aware of this.

I'm not sure it all fits and I could be totally wrong. But something WEIRD is up with this ending.

Not to mention the fact that despite it being a proper ending, the flowchart continues on in another fragment I can't yet access... I'm onto your tricks game.
