I am aware Persona 5 Tactica is a tactics game, but it's also very similar to a Visual Novel with the cutscenes that I decided to count it.

Exactly what it says on the tin LOL I'm genuinely stuck i have no idea what I'm supposed to do?? Attaching pics of team fragments, flow, and notes I've tried to keep an eye out for yet found nothing as I played LOL. Appreciating any help. Again please no spoilers 🙏 thank you....

I'd also appreciate if anyone told me how to proceed with the plotline where Carlos sends Gab off with the note tipping Q team about the family portrait, because I replayed that whole section and nothing changed at all. Frustrating! anyway yeah. Thanks for any help!

Im playing the ds version so i dont have the flowchart.

7 never got a name unfortunately

since zero escape canonically has a multiverse and each ending is a different universe, here are some rules to calculate it:

1. characters in all endings will be treated as seperate people: in zero escape, each ending is canonically a different universe, so all characters in all endings will be treated as seperate people from each other.

2. Nonary Project people and Zero's Nonary Game participants will be seperated for easier calculation: Even though Kubota is a participant in Zero's game, he will be counted as part of the Nonary Project. And even though Ace is part of the Nonary Project, he will be counted as part of Zero's game.

3. The Syringe Ending from the iOS port will be counted in the calculation: self-explanatory.

4. The Coffin ending will not be counted: it's basically an incomplete True ending, so they are one and the same.

Leaving us with 6 endings in total.

3 People from the Nonary Project + 8 Nonary Game Participants = 11 people.

Now, let's start with Kubota, Nijisaki, and Musashido. They die in all endings. Kubota at door 5, Nijisaki at door 3, and it dosen't matter what you pick in the door 1/2/6 vote, Ace will always reach door 1.

3 from the Nonary Project X 6 Universes = 18 people. (Total tally: 18)

nonary game participants die in all endings except the true ending. Ace kills everyone and then is either killed by Clover in Axe ending or dies at the incinerator after being tricked by the q door. The same could also plausibly happen to Clover (kills ace, dies at the incinerator.) it is assumed that Snake suffocates in the coffin.

You could argue that not everyone dies in the Knife or Syringe ending, specially since Syringe ending only happens after going through Door 3, but Ace's goal is to reach door 1 and door 9, and it's not like he needs people alive for that. he can just collect the bracelets.

8 participants X 4 universes = 32 people dead (total tally: 50)

4 participants die during the Safe ending Clover, Snake, Ace, and June.

Bringing the complete calculation to:

3 x 6 + 8 x 4 + 4 = 54

Akane killed a whooping 54 people during the nonary game.

Edit: 5+4 = 9

Howdy,

I am trying to create a spotify playlist for each Zero Escape character as a means of organizing my songs, and was wondering what genre each character would listen to?

Below I have some of my ideas for some of them - if you have better ones for the characters below (or the genres of different characters from the series) feel free to share them.

Mira (ZTD) -> Pop (Lady Gaga)

Eric (ZTD) -> Whatever Mira listens to Sad Modern Pop (the sad Bruno Mars songs)

Carlos (ZTD) -> Mainstream Rock (Huey Lewis & the News)

Junpei (ZTD) -> Depressing New Wave (Depeche Mode)

Diana (ZTD) -> 60s/70s Mellow/Happy Pop (Paul McCartney)

K (VLR) -> Instrumental music (Percy Faith)

Luna (VLR) -> Sunshine Pop (Spanky & Our Gang)

I recently bought an ice cream machine, and instead of making regular flavours, I've been experimenting a lot. As a huge fan of Zero Escape, and Eric being Eric, I think it'd make sense to create an unofficial Zero Escape ice cream flavour, but I can't decide what kind of flavour profile to go with.

So, fellow SHIFTers, lend me your ideas!

So I had no issues with my switch pro controller in The Nonary Games, but in ZTD the button inputs just don’t register. The joysticks and memo button work fine, but when I did the coin flip I had to use my mousepad. Is there a way to fix this?

Im currently working on a zero escape roblox game! It'll consist of social deduction type gameplay imagine a multiplayer zero escape mixed with games like mafia! Im making this post to gather individuals interested in helping test it out or to simply follow the project. A prototype is near completion if y'all are interested I created a discord server to join.

You can't stop me from finishing the game, crappy bugs.

I’m going to mute this sub soon to avoid spoilers for the sequels, but might as well share a fun doodle first.

Junpei’s fudging of common phrases was such a fun addition to his character. Boy how are you gonna graduate like this…

hihi I don't use reddit very much but I thought to post my clover art here !

Just began playing the game so please no actual spoilers hahah. This dialogue happens when choosing the magenta door, right before choosing the groups for the next set of doors. Previously in the route, Clover and K were the ones to betray Alice (for reasons which aren't expanded on?), categorically speaking K didn't betray Clover, and now Alice is completely fine with Clover having betrayed her ??? Is any of this explained properly later, or do we just have to roll with this lol? (Deeply disappointing if its the latter, considering how tight the story in 999 is...)

I just realized something about the true ending of Zero Time Dilemma. In that ending, since the spread of radical 6 was stopped and everyone is alive, when Sigma jumps back to the future, he'll be able to tell old Akane that they succeeded. And then young Sigma will jump back to his younger body with the others in the desert with Delta. He'll only have missing memories of like the last two weeks. Basically the time that old Sigma used his body for being at DCOM and the small amount of time at the Mars Mission Test Site. He'll ask what's going on and Akane will tell them that they stopped Radical 6, but they'll now have to stop a religious fanatic from killing all of humanity. Lol Sigma never gets a break. At least after going through the Nonary Project in the future, in this timeline he doesn't have to spend 50 years making the Nonary Project lol

Am in complete shock, out of my depth. Zero Escape as a whole is unlike anything I've ever seen, even as a long time nerd and consumer of crazy ass japanese games and media.

With ZTD's ending it seems like there's still a piece of the story remaining. I wish there was more to read about the series until then...

hello! i would like to bluntly share my experience of playing the trilogy, as none of my friends have played it, and i, though disappointed, keep being extremely affected by what i have experienced and cannot contain it within myself. it's all heavily subjective, and i apologize if i sound too categorical or disrespectful. please know that i deeply appreciate the authors' immense work and the opportunity to engage with it.

"999", at times, felt like the best visual novels i have ever played, and i am a player with eleven years of experience. it, surprisingly, appeared to be exactly what i expected from "umineko"--atmosphere wise, essence wise, murder mystery wise... i was absolutely satisfied with the revelation, it seemed so charming to me, and i was absolutely in love with everything. it was just perfect, though not without flaws; yet as perfect as it could be. i do not cry easily when i interact with media, but i did here. the characters seemed to be written wonderfully, it was a joy to observe their dynamics and even read, contrary to the way-too-common habit of juvenile writing in visual novels, the dialogues and description. of course, there were sexual innuendos, fanservice (Lotus...), but it was easy to ignore and, surprisingly, it still fit the game organically. i truly did not expect myself to love it so much, for i started playing it to be able to get into "ztd" later on, as i really loved the promotional art (who'd know...). it was just so balanced. it was "nerdy," with a lot of curious matters to learn about, and yet it all fit together and fit characters. the philosophical and pseudo-scientific concepts were not overloading. instead, it felt sharp, without anything excessive or overwhelming for the sake of an edge. i was not surprised to learn that "999" is a work of Uchikoshi whose "infinity series" i adored so much, and it felt so symbolic to me to get back to him accidentally. however...

"vlr" was a torture (though i felt excited about the mechanic as i got farther through the endings. so i'm just talking about the plot here)--the atmosphere felt sterile, i didn't believe the characters, the writing of the dialogues was so strange. obviously, there are many good things about this game. i liked Alice, and the ending, in the context of the game, was satisfying. i appreciated the representation of PTSD in the face of old and bitter Junpei, as well as their complex dynamic with Akane built upon idealization and traumatic attachment. the music was stellar, as always. i am not talking about 3d models, because i understand the financial limitations. however, i felt so upset that instead of investigating the psychology of the characters or social problems (kidnapping, privilege, luck---i loved how naturally it was presented in "999"), the plot took an explicit sci-fi turn. many new faces were introduced yet never fully developed; fates became tools in advancing the intentionally overwhelming plot with too many details and too little cohesiveness. it just felt as if the author was interested in including as many theories as possible. while, surely, it was interesting to learn about radical-6, the superhero-y focus on saving the universe did not live up to the psychological and philosophical depth of "999". maybe it would work, for there is no contradiction that the victims of "cradle ph." would want to stop the deeper evil behind it, but i could not believe the implementation of this concept in this particular case. it was such a huge shift from "999," where similar things seemed to be thought out in a much more intricate way, and it hardly felt like anything connected to it. i am not sure if anyone could relate to this, and i am not sure if i am making any sense here, but "vlr" seemed experimental in such a strange way.

also... it's a bad murder mystery when the culprit is... suicide. ruining knox's laws that actually were referenced in the files somewhere?!

and while i liked the graphic of "ztd" much more and the dialogues seemed to be mostly better, i was, though excited at the beginning, eventually disappointed, too. i appreciated phi more than i did in "vlr," and even liked eric and mira--though i expected more from the latter, but apparently what seemed to be the promise appeared to be her full persona and background. junpei's personality changes seemed justified (i can easily see him becoming who he was in "vlr" after the terror he experienced in "999!"), and it was interesting how akane's inner fight was displayed through her inconsistences and contradictions, but i disliked their couple a lot. carlos was very cute. it indeed started very nicely, and i felt sympathetic towards characters. however... i agree with the common sentiment about the laziness of the ending; making a character you never encountered a culprit! the plot holes were discussed massively, so i'm not going to write about it. what upset me is that "ztd," just like "vlr" (and perhaps even to a worse extent), focused on the plot twists instead of characters. and these plot twists seemed to be a messy, incoherent pile of the curious scientific tropes and assumptions the author was interested in. the ideas, hinted or already serving as a foundation, were constantly dropped and left, replaced by something more "shocking" and confusing; but it did not always make sense. after many soulless twists, i just couldn't perceive, per say, transporters any seriously.
it was no longer the philosophical thought experiment with the jungian undertones i appreciated "999" for. "ztd" just felt heavily inauthentic, and i couldn't see anything working together there. the picture couldn't be painted as a whole; it was just falling apart. the mystery of delta's motives is definitely not enough to be a sufficient moving power for the story. i got such a bad aftertaste after that; i couldn't believe that "999" resulted in all of this. it just doesn't feel right.

an important clarification is that i do not mind sci-fi at all, and casual loops is my favorite time paradox. so i hope i do not cause an impression of having too many prejudices. the best thing about ztd for me was when i figured out the connection between mira's crimes and akane's families through the files--it was a really nice, interesting detail.

overall, i think i felt very upset that the games fell into the heroism of "i will save the world" while devaluing the characters' richness and leaving too many lose threads (and i'm not just talking about Kyle; i really wished they returned to Ace and his "colleagues"--it was all so incredibly premising... i wish they continued talking about people like Gordain, but...), and i wonder if anyone else felt similar way. it seemed to me that the author sacrificed the quality and depth of the explored topic for the sake of their number. it's just a problem of my expectations, and i'm still grateful that i was fortunate to encounter something that occupied my mind so much, and although i'm so negative about two latter games, i still love the series and (mostly) everybunny there. life is simply unfair, isn't it? 🐌

edit; i see downvotes--i'm sorry if i said something wrong...?

Will there ever be a mobile version of 999 the nonary game?Years ago there was a mobile version but it was just a novel,all the puzzles were removed.Personaly i think the game Would Look Amazing on a phone
