I've read that Delta made clones of his dead adoptive brother Left. Is there a scene I'm forgetting/have missed in ZTD that says that or is it inferred from VLR?

Delta is 124.

Junpei also kindof mind controlled Akane at the end of 999. It's not that much of a stretch to say that the field can be used to control people (especially given the transmitter/receiver metaphor they keep mentioning) but there probably should've been other examples of it in the series. I find the fact that team Q had an old man in a wheelchair following them around all the time to be a bigger issue but hey.

I wouldn't think too hard about 999's links with the rest of the series.

His plans probably just changed. It's not like we were ever promised more Dio in-game.

NRVNQSR posted:I think the ones that could most reasonably make a player suspicious are the scenes where the other teams talk about Q-team's deaths, and specifically the way they talk about Q; if you pay attention the things they say about Q make no sense if Q is Sean. I've never heard anyone say that they picked up on those, though. I assumed it was just a plothole though

I mean when he said that he basically seemed to mean that he had multiple motives that were then explained.

Yeah I think the player is looking through cameras the whole time. The recording of Carlos killing Akane was from same angles the player saw the scene, right?
|
# ¿ Jul 5, 2016 17:00 |
|
If they wanted to make it seem like the camera had a different perspective they easily could have done so. There are plenty of camera angle changes in the game.

It explained a bunch of things like how the murders happened on some branches and also is what let the teams come together for the climax of the story

The terrorist attack that triggered the nuclear war was somehow a nonary game involving the heads of states of the major powers.

I think they wanted to avoid spoiling the major twists of the other games for people who hadn't played them yet.

I mean unpredictability isn't as much of a problem when your plan spans every possible timeline.

They tell you some background information but deliberately avoid giving you the big twists of either game.

# ¿ Jul 11, 2016 00:03 |

I doubt Uchikoshi knows or cares about the words having different roots. It was probably deliberate.

Transporter was probably my favorite room. I can imagine it being frustrating to people without a maths background though.

Even if the ends might've been sortof good Delta was clearly an rear end in a top hat who enjoyed seeing people put in horrible situations. I don't think he was necessarily aiming to minimize suffering/death across all timelines.

Without the VLR timeline there's no Delta. Even if he just kidnapped young Sigma he probably wouldn't have formed the same relationship with Diana as the old Sigma who had already lived with her.

It seems to be metaphor for the fanatic who caused a 100% deathrate amongst humans.

Carlos had a good understanding of how timeline branching worked, stopping the decision game would give him a happy timeline but wouldn't save his friends. I'm kindof curious how he managed to sneak out of the pod since it was presumably under Delta's control at that stage.

# ¿ Jul 16, 2016 09:41 |

He also talked about how fascinated he was by difficult decisions and parallel worlds.

The GAULEMs in ZTD were clearly way less advanced at least.

999 seemed to be working under the rules of that one famous movie with M-kun in it.

Other than the fourth question (which is basically answered in ZTD - Delta has an alien fax machine to send copies or "clones" of his brother to the future) those are all questions that don't actually matter at all. Uchikoshi probably hadn't decided whether to put those characters in ZTD yet so he gave a vague answer that left his options open.

Yeah if you break each number down to its prime factors you get a tonne of information.
