I just finished the game and I liked it a lot, the twists were really goofy and I'm okay with Evil Steve Jobs Mind Hacker.

I like that Delta is just a legitimate villain so we don't have to feel bad making fun of his goofy Steve Jobs Plague Doctor rear end.

The Zero suit is good, though. Plague Doctor is always a good creepy aesthetic.

Also, I guess it's been over a hundred years since Left died, so maybe Free The Soul had become more than that during that time, which is why Delta was kinda flippant about him.

Yeah, but they didn't know it was that long. Zero told them that it was in Germany in the early 20th century, so that's what they did.

I would say VLR is the worst in the series largely because it wastes a ton of time and most of the cast is meaningless and various degrees of crap. (CLOVER.)

I will admit this, my playthrough of VLR was over 60 hours and a lot of that was spent not really getting any endings and getting a lot of locks without keys.

Something that kinda stuck out at me. From 999, you get the feeling that Junpei and Akane lived in Japan. However, Akane's father was the one falsely accused of Eric's mom's murder by Mira's hand, insinuating that Akane's family lived in America. It makes me wonder if somewhere along the line, Junpei and Akane were retconned from being Japanese into being Japanese-American when the series built a more western appeal and fanbase.

I thought they stated in 999 that Akane and her family moved out after meeting Junpei, they just didn't say it was out of the city or even out of the country.

I think I remember that now. It's been a while since I read much of 999.

Does anyone know why completing the decision game at the beginning unlocks timelines for everyone, not just the timeline that you create?

Like if D team dies, you still unlock poo poo for D team. It seems like a really puzzling decision that serves to confuse people.

If you're playing Zero Esacpe at this point, you can probably expect to be going through multiple timelines with multiple possibilities, so you're prepared for some people to be alive when they should be dead in a more linear story.
