>be famous for escape room games
>take the escape room out of your games
ZE are escape rooms, AI isn't and doesn't need to be.
He's famous for dumb meta twists that he frequently recycles.
The third mental lock puzzle I saw the first 9 and knew the answer was going to be 999 because it would be low enough of Uchikozki to put it in the game. Disappointed Mizuki or Aiba didn't make the meta connection.
I genuinely miss clunky old escape room gameplay, clicking on arbitrary objects with arrows over them and then answering a trial-and-error multiple choice question just doesn't cut it for me. There's so much empty space to run around for no purpose other than to run down the timer.
Tearer's Somnium was alright.
Speaking of which, the trailer made it seem like the split-second choices were going to be important or have some influence on your path, but in reality they just force you into a choice about 90% of the time. The only time I liked it was in Lien's Somnium leading to Gen where you quickly unlocked the door
Did anyone let the time run down all the way on a "split-second" choice? What happens?
>the entire game is an escape room and Tokiko won the game
Some guy on Steam found a frick ton of errors in the EN localization by comparing it with the JP script. Here's his album.
https://imgur.com/a/9Hf5x6x
mostly nitpicks
Boss's profile literally spoiling Bibi is not a nitpick.
I was so confused by this throughout the whole game.
Same, this made me think Boss adopted Mizuki during the 6 year timeskip. Then I thought it was a spoiler they purposely put out in the open after Bibi's reveal. And now it turns out it's just translators being incompetent
Did Mizuki just have no legal guardian through here whole adolescence then?
*through her
now it actually makes sense why Mizuki knew Boss was out drinking some nights.
I just thought boss had adopted her while Date was "dead"
You can add to that the nurse's and yakuza she married's last names.
Just as bad as the first game then.
>moron defends blatant mistranslations
Every time.
OH NO SHE SAID "MEN ALL WANT TO BE SIT ON" INSTEAD OF "MEN WANT TO BE CHAIRS"
I'M GOING INSANE HELP ME
If Aiba is a shrimp then what is Tama?
A black girl.
So a gorilla?
I bet she fricks like one.
Nah, Tama is actually pure
Purely a wienerbawd
A ghost of a girl who died in a solarium
>even in debt he kept going to a maid cafe as it was the only time he could see his daughter
what the frick man a man with a cube head shouldn't be this depressing
aiba tama footjob
Aiba treats it like an experiment and is taking notes aloud the whole time about what gets the best reaction
Tama is fully into the domination aspect and edges with cruel intent
Mizuki footjob with mask on is the way to go
remember to hug your rat girl
So which ending is the canon one? The regular ending, or the super duper everything is perfect one?
both
Technically that depends on which AI3 follows
They may just work in both as canon if Uchi goes full bore on the simulation/timeline stuff
>ai3 jumps around timelines, while making you think it's the same timeline
>canon
Canon to what? There isn't even a third game announced.
the latter one of course, why wouldn't it be? You don't think anything is wrong with admitting that as a simulated world, you can break the rules and sort things as you please with what amounts to a cheat code?
Kind of funny that the game released on PC at the same time as Caligula Effect 2 and the latter's story is all about the simulation theory. I've been playing them side by side and it's pretty trippy.
>the latter's story is all about the simulation theory
It's not really simulation theory. They're literally in a simulation. I don't think that counts as a spoiler since it's the premise of the game
true end and in the hypothetical AI3 threads there will always be people complaining that the game ignored the divergence ending. similar to what happened between VLR and ZTD
Except divergence doesn't claim that Kyle and the player will be an integral part of the next game.
But he did. He's [you] the frayer.
Could you make any less sense? No next game teasing. STFU
>he's not a frayer
ngmi.
VLR's bonus chapter promising a few plot threads that didn't come up is very different from if AI3 doesn't address the revelation that canonically the AI world is a simulation. That's kind of a big deal.
It's just a gag ending, you're not meant to take it seriously.
If it's just a gag ending, then the big twist of the whole game is completely pointless since its only purpose was to get to that specific ending and for Tokiko to reach Moksha
Huh? The big twist was to fool the player by hiding the 2nd Mizuki. Tokiko's ending is just a fun extra for completionists. Kind of like the dog endings in Silent Hill games, if you've played those.
The big twist is the timeline shift
I'm talking about the twist making you think you're playing the game chronologically. None of the characters are aware of the switched timelines and it has zero impact on the story overall. The only purpose of it was to confuse the player into thinking that the events are taking place chronologically which was to create the X's in the flowchart and the whole Nil number thing to cause the divergent timeline to occur.
The twist of a mystery should be tied to the narrative, so if the only reason for the twist was for a gag ending then it makes the whole mystery feel pointless overall.
And how exatly did Tokiko make the timeline when she was still within the simulation? All that was important was to get the nil number from future to past
Mama did the timeline thing. Shouldn't have messed with the occult Mama.
If you acknowledge Divergent then whether it's canon or not doesn't really matter.
Shoma ending. It's the good ending without the whole breaking the universe thing.
wouldn't that mean that Tearer's is still alive and he will end up spreading TC-PERGE?
>don't catch Tearer
>in 6 years they'll make the world crazy
Not really
Does she have the stinky feet?
masked woman's somnium
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQcorqztVE8
best somnium BGM coming through
I AM THE LIGHT PART OF KIZZY'S HEART. KEYBLADE GIVES ME THE POWER TO UNLOCK THE LOCKS THAT SHROUD THE WORLD IN DARKNESS
Was the giant key a reference to some goofy JRPG like Kingdom Hearts?
Probably? There's also the giant keyhole in the sky.
I meant the one Lien uses in real world as a weapon.
I mean both of them could be referencing KH.
the giant keyhole in the somnium is because he's a locksmith anon it's a reference to lien not KH
In KH you have these keyholes (that also look the same as the one in Lien's) floating midair that you unlock with the keyblade.
Just thought they're kinda similar.
Twist was even worse than DRv3's
Oof. Yikles. "I understood Uchi's master plan and perfectly predected all of the twists day 1" anon BTFO'd. Cringe.
>literally the same name and face
Is Kizuna brain dead?
Took you long enough, although now it has downgraded from
>looks JUST like Mizuki
to
>There is something that reminds me of her
So you're still wrong.
you said she said that she "looked just like her" you fricking mongoloid. you're more braindead than kizzy is kek
How does Tama practice bondage on Ryuki? They do it in VR or does her AI-Ball form just run all over him tying knots?
some fricking coincidence that her name actually happened to be clover, isn't it?
she's not the smartest girl in the world
>Seven still doesn't have a name
Clover should be in a 4th Nonary game
Post So as Iris. The entire concept of him is wildly funny to me.
I wish this was a thing
I'd pay good money for Uchi to write about what happens in the few days after Mizuki end credits roll
big dick lock man good
short lot hair neet idol fan bad
Yes.
NGL it's pretty funny that both Lien and Gen got gfs while Ota is still a loser. Maybe he should stop being a midget, no one wants a man like that.
Ota would literally be murdered by yakuza if he tried to go after iris.
somehow he needs someone that could put up with his A-set autism, so unless there's essentially a girl version of him out there he's shit out of luck
Chikara had at least 2 b***hes, so the midget excuse doesn't hold up.
I didn’t like Ota and Iris and AI1 because Ota just felt like a creepy pervert but in this game where they’re both equally autistic eggplant-loving morons on more equal ground I’m hoping they finally get their shit together and hook up.
iris is an airhead
literally just what A-Set! You Bet! Brand New Star of the Internet World! Also known as Tesa! wants you to think
>described alternate timelines, immortality, Naix in the first game
>got kidnapped in the ARG cause she was identified as someone who could see the seams in the world
>Called Amame at the exact moment she was going to see her dad which would have prevented him from getting drunk and discovering Jin's corpse, keeping him from getting killed
>her entire level is using everyone she knows as pawns in a game
>the kusemon go symbols are the Eye of Wadjet
It's a "coping with Iris's flanderization" epsiode
She just likes the occult, she's just a dumb bimbo
>literally runs a restaurant to support his ailing mother
I have nothing but respect for him
No, Ota is fantastic. He's a loser, the game knows he's a loser, he's entertaining because of it.
Q: which bgm ruined the game?
A: https://youtu.be/TA5VTkHiKKM?t=36
no that song is great
New Tama!
I've been replaying it with the real time line and now i appreciate his schizo kino even more. Mizuki however even less.
Also he has the most amount of expressions.
Same for me sadly. I finished the first run liking Mizuki's side best but once you replay some Ryuki parts while knowing what's going on you really appreciate him and his relationship with Tama more.
They don't even have to be lewd with eachother. I just want to see them happy with eachother as much as possible.
>I have medicine for tc purge I'm taking btw we can't mass produce it so shhh were not going to try to ramp up production let's go fight time meta robot gangsters with invisibility cloaks instead
AI2 heavily, heavily relies on coincidences and outright lying about what's happening. It's ZTD level of "there was another person always off-camera, no one just thought to mention them". Where AI had one fantastical element central to the plot (psyncing/psync machine), AI2 constantly comes up with more and more bullshit to cover up the ever more elaborate situations.
If AI was Uchikoshi's best work, then this one is easily his worst. It's a disaster, both as a mystery and as a piece of fiction in general.
You're taking anime scifi games too seriously. Sit back and enjoy the schizo infodumps
Do you often go around making declarative statements about what year it is to people? The reason present day Mizuki doesn't clarify the timeline to herself is that she doesn't need to because it's a basic fact. Ryuki spends half his scenes in schizo delusions about when he's working on the case too.
>Do you often go around making declarative statements about what year it is to people?
Do you go around making declarative statements about what month and day it is? Cause literally every cutscene after Mama's reveal has every single character stating it over and over again. It's a shit excuse for a shit lie.
They talk about the dates because they're either the time of death for a victim or an event like Valentine's or the rocket launch date. The year doesn't come up(aside from when they point out "Jin" on the field dying 6 years ago but having a time of death within 12 hours) because it's not relevant. You wouldn't say "Tokiko was killed 8 hours ago, February 12th 2045. Not like 6 years ago, when we found Komeji's right half."
Honestly if anything the fact that nobody talks about there being 6 year time of death game on Chikara/Komeji/Tokiko's left halves is a huge hint about when they happen.
>3 days ago
>That would be February 11th,
>This happened
>Oh, then Yesterday
>That would be February 14th, Valentines day, by the way...
Nah, people don't talk like that, tismo.
Full agree on this. I bought AI on sale out of curiosity. I bought NI at full price day 1 because of my love of AI. I think I will outright skip the next game if it ever comes out.
>not ironically enjoying Uchikoshi-isms
This. I love all of Uchikoshi's dumb twists. The dumber the are the more I love them. I unironically love ZTD and all of its twists.
Watching people's reaction to the most braindead parts of ZTD has more than justified the existence of that game for me, especially eric and his girlfriend the shotgun
All of Uchi's games lie to the player besides AI 1
You're not completely wrong but the game is such a shitpost I can't really be mad. The whole ending is giant joke. It almost feels like a parody of Uchi games. A schizo fever dream. Especially with Tearer cosplaying as ZTD Zero. I don't know what I'm suppose to take seriously.
I generally dislike the twist, but I think the rest of the game is still good enough to put it above ZTD pretty easily.
I think that if a twist only exists to trick the player and it doesn't actually affect any of the characters in the game, then it's a poor twist on principle. I get that the player is kinda sorta a character in the game, but it's not properly fleshed out like it was in a certain other Uchikoshi work so that doesn't really deserve to count. VLR's main twist was crazy too but it at least feels fair at the end of the day since its actually at least tied into the plot instead of being "haha I tricked you!"
VLR's is honestly worse to me. Sigma never notices his voice is different, the player isn't allowed to hear his voice despite the rest of the cast having VA, and at the end of the day the game has done little to convince me that Sigma is capable of doing any of the shit he's supposed to do following the ending. You can't just call someone a PHD student and call it a day, Sigma barely understands any of the scientific concepts mentioned in VLR for fricks sake.
Anyone else wanted to see Gens fricked up face? Lame as hell they never showed his elephant man looking ass
yeah, was a big letdown imo.
it was already sad enough seeing the xray of his skull anon
I didnt find it sad I found it lazy and annoying. Not gonna bother designing or texturing a face for him just drag some points around on a base skull model and let them look at the outline
I was curious but i figured they got the message across with the xray and that actually showing wouldn't have had much use besides shock value

>Mame
>Pewter
All look exactly the same. Gen too but you can cope about the mask hiding that. They go out of their way to note Shoma looks the same age because of the gene editing. No one else has aged at all either though except for Ota and iris. The twist doesn't work when everyone in the world except for Mizuki looks exactly the same too.
I mean Date is wearing a mask so you wouldn't know if he aged or not. and amame does age, she's wearing her school outfit in the past and has a casual outfit in the future like the other girls.
Amame changed out of her work uniform but she still looks the exact same. At least Iris and Otas hair grow
Characters in the AI universe age in 6 year increments only. So you get upgraded at 12, 18, and 24 then you're stuck.
What does this mean?
it means we're about to get START THE MUSIC!!! in the next text box

ah yes, I remember when I played my first Uchikoshi game
>he didn't eat donuts in the bathroom
ngmi
I remember when I was playing the first game and there was this scene where you examine a dead woman's body and everyone is sad, and then 10 sec later it's all sex jokes and shit.
Many reviews complained about this actually, so the 2nd game is a bit better at it.
Maybe the developers wanted the player to feel embarrassed so when the bad times come, you will feel even worse.
I wonder how many people actually noticed that the next time you're there after this breaks it's no longer broken
I didn't notice, and I feel really dumb after you guys pointed it out.
I did but I chalked it up to budget.
Yeah you just have to accept in this series they do random shitty cringeworthy musical numbers. It might not be so bad if it wasn't awfully translated from Japanese and sounds moronic in English. Also they use the VAs instead of singers so it sounds like shit on top of the words being moronic. You just gotta hold skip through the songs and fight scenes and its a pretty comfy game. 1 is anyway.
>NOOOOOO ENGLISH VOICES IN AN ANIME GAME I'M LOSING MY MIND
That's not what I said moron. I said they should have hired singers to sing instead of the voice actors.
AmaLee and Jackie Lastra (Kizuna and Iris) are unironically singers
It's what Lien says to Kizuna at one point. Fairly sure it's before that
Yeah but how does wanting to dance equal a dog wanting to pee?
It's just Lien being his dumbass self.
does this shit have gameplay?
all i find on youtube is what seems to be a visual novel
Point and click adventure game with puzzles.
guess i'll add it to wishlist then
The first one is 80% off in Steam at the moment.
Sure, if you like watching animations of moving dots on building blueprints and doors opening
AI > 999 > AI2 = VLR >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ZTD
Maybe swap ZTD and AI2 for me, I'd need to replay ZTD to confirm like hell I'll do that.

VLR>AI1=999>>>>>>>AI2
Didn't play ztd cause of how much people hate it, just stopped caring.
>according to settings
...this implies you could change whether they're male or female at any time.
Hot
People usually forget that VLR also fell apart in the end (sigma realizing he's zero and old guy) plus it's a slog 80% of your playtime.
AI2 has genuinely good moments and it only falters in the Mizuki route.
Ai > Vlr = Ai2 > 999
never got around to ztd and i don't feel like doing so
I don't dislike any of these games but probably something like
AI > VLR > 999 > AI2 > ZTD
if i didn't like the story of the first, will i like this one?
That depends what you disliked about it
the pacing and the way it ended
As someone who didn't like the ending of the first one I liked this one better in that regard. Pacing depends though. It's a longer game but characters are frequently written to be annoying roadblocks and some somniums feel unnecessary. There's no stretch of the game as boring as Iris' route was in the first one though.
Absolutely not, 90% of the characters are the same people.
999 > AI >>> ZTD >>>>>> Dogshit = VLR = AI2
Was anyone else annoyed by how much the somnia in this game were more or less information dumps in contrast to the first game where they were often ambiguous and contradictory
>There is an entire (potentially unused) menu for Nirvana Initiative DLC with placeholders. This is scenario/episodic DLC, this is NOT related to the costume DLC. This strongly suggests there will be future scenario DLC.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>full 999 remake with Ai characters DLC confirmed
I'm not seeing that mentioned anywhere in that link. The 999 somnium was cool, but if they do go through with this I'm hoping they do rewrite the script to use each AI characters' personality instead of just reusing the script from the original game.
>Date is Seven, and he has amnesia again
>Boss is Ace, but still goes by Boss
>Iris as Clover, but sometimes she still does the A-Set intro
>Pewter is Snake, cause of that legendary twitter poll that said he was gay
>Kazina as the Ninth man, cause someone has to be
only thing I'm trying to figure out is whether Tama would be Akane or Lotus. Lotus is self-explanatory, but Akane would mean she would have more opportunity to play off of Aiba-Junpei. And Ryuki-Santa would be funny.
tama is definitely lotus
I never noticed this until I rewatched some clips but Amame’s hair is quite a bit darker in the original, especially in the portrait and honestly I like the look better.
It's probably the different illumination
DO NOT OPEN. INSIDE IS THE SECRET OF THE WORLD. a shitty dynasty warriors spinoff would actually work
Has anyone scanned the QR code? Where does it lead?
It opens the bats video
a private youtube link to the qr video
A youtube page with the same schizo video.
Browsing my screenshot folder of the 1st game, holy shit even this joke was recycled.
Yea, but its no way close to 90% moron.
Literally every single environment and almost every single character that wasn't killed off in the first one are in this one lmao. Why are you such a bootlicker? 90% of the game is the same as the last one and the only new shit is Gens place, the rooftop park, shomas house, the naix building and the lab. And the reused assets even reuse all the same old gags like aiba finding bugs on the plants in lamnascate and the lanterns in boss's
>Literally every single environment
You don't get to visit the Okiura warehouse. And the abandoned amusement park. And... I think that's it?
fair enough on the amusement park i forgot that one, but you get to go to the docks and see the okiura warehouse so that's close enough. they couldn't even be fricking bothered to make a different dock without the okiura name on it lmao
We never see Ota's mom, which kinda sucks. I wish she at least showed up for a second to mention how her treatments were going. The only time she is mentioned is when they say she is in the living room watching tv.
her english VA died and since she isn't relevant, Uchi and Okada decided not to re-cast her so thye just had her in the background
What's with this game and english voice actors fricking dying
Kaniza, Uru and Mayumi's english VA all died in between AI1 and AI2's release
🙁
how old were they?
was it covid?
Philece Sampler (Mayumi) died of a heart attack July 2021
Brad Venable (Kagami) died but the family wanted to keep it private so no cause of death announced
Billy Kametz (Uru) died of cancer
AI is cursed
Wait did they recast Kagami or did he just record really far in advance? Cause it says he died in January 2021.
he was recasted and is now Austin Lee Matthews
Ota's mom's 3D model shows up in some conversations.
Yeah but I meant her showing up herself and saying a thing.
honestly seeing AI eyeball companions in action again I'm suddenly feeling a lot less okay with the fact that I'm by my lonesome most of the time
>Ryuki gets to talk to THIS on demand whenever he wants
Not fair
I ended up really liking the concept by the end of the first game. Kinda a nice change from how AIs usually interact with people in stories.
Seems like only Amame's model was significantly upgraded between the games, everyone else looks the same. Amame was just a generic mermaid in AI1, hence her model being simple. I don't even remember if she had a name in AI1. IIRC sometime towards the end of the game it's revealed that she and Iris are friends but that's about it.
One day when robots are real, Tama will beam herself into one and sex Ryuki
uh no, most of the models are updated even if it's small updates to improve fidelity. Compare past Iris in AI2 with Iris in AI1, she's clearly higher poly with better textures
shoma could probably take care of that
it's revealed in the files. Pretty much just a play on mermaid.
Nah, everyone barring young Mizuki saw touchups. The Receptionist actually has multiple expressions and definition to her face, Aiba is actually translucent with iris expressions, other characters gained whole new faces, etc
If Shoma was so worried about being a burden on his sister and his sister having to work full time hours outside of school to pay for him and his tuition, why did he remain in his dads home after he died? Surely they could save on rent money if the 12 year old moved in with his mom and sister after the dad died instead of living in his own house
I was honestly confused on that point as well, surely he would have moved in with his ma at that point. Speaking of his ma, who the frick is she? the rest of their family is super fricking important to the plot but this b***h just isn't at all?
please understand anon they needed to really funnel those resources into having 3 back to back 15 minute QTE cutscenes on the warehouse dock. No time to model characters.
their mom is Noba Doi
Also, Aiba's hamster form looked a lot uglier in the 1st game.
The abandoned amusement park.
I think they reused some of its assets in the rooftop park, but otherwise it's the only area that's not in 2.
damn AI 1 iris is way cuter than either of the AI2 ones
now that's a shit take
Nah frick off
left is better
right has better lighting and is higher poly
?it's literally the exact same model with the same awkward jaggies in the same places. Only the face itself changed and the lighting.
The only thing same is the hair not counting the color. The facial structure is a bit different, so is the ears.
Doesn't matter if right has higher poly, left looks better
>right has better lighting
It really doesn't. It's more washed out and looks more like a 3D model. Neither of them are super convincingly pulling off the 2D look but at least the left tried with some cell shading
smug little creature
They threw it in the dance menu as a background
What is this shit?
AI 3 or DLC
Schizo ARG that hints at the Fraying of the Nil number ending. Note that Iris was involved and got voted to fricking die, watch out for her in Ai3 Frayers she's gonna be fricking pissed
#kairosweep
>Literally just shifters again
nah it's different than shifters

Also I've been in these threads for like a week now and shame none of you homies have mention Punchline once
>Punchline
I only watched the anime so I don't count it with with the rest of his games. I really liked it when I got passed the first few episodes. I think a lot of people got filtered by the beginning.
flat!
Perflat
Something about "Man robs ghost" is so funny I can't
Okay I just finished the first game. I avoided basically the whole thread just in case of spoilers, but I'm not sure if I'm sold on getting the second game yet.
The first half of the first game (I got the Iris route first, don't know if that matters) was almost unberable cringe for a large part of it and I almost uninstalled multiple times, but kept giving it a chance. It really felt like the game could not take itself serious for more than 2 minutes straight, almost literally sometimes. However, by the second half, I was actually pretty absorbed into the plot and it kept the weeb cringe jokes mostly to a minimum. I was totally hooked in the last 5~ hours and I thought it was actually a really good murder mystery, and I could suspend my disbelief enough for some of the plot holes.
Is the second game more of the same? Will I have to suffer through a lot of unfunny garbage to get to the good stuff? Also what is canon for this game? It seems like it's still old Date.
there's no unfunny garbage in either game anon.
it's funny garbage
AI2 keeps more of a serious tone in general outside of the action scenes which you should just think of as not counting
I don't remember any plotholes in AI 1
The second game has even more sex jokes and the murder mystery is impossible to solve on your own because the game is setting up a meta twist for the last chapter.
Probably wouldn't recommend if you barely got through the first one.
AI 2 is more of the same shit, uchikoshi games are more about the journey than the destination.
It's mismatch of really cringe parts with some memorably good ones. So if you are going to play it, expect more of the same. If anything the second one goes full on goof mode.
Also what is canon for this game?
the canon is the ending of the first game, you see old date because he is wearing a mask of saito because "people was already used to that face and it's more popular with the ladies". They pretty much covered shit up to not spoil newcomers that play the second one with playing the original first.
>It seems like it's still old Date.
if you turn on spoilers for the first game, they asspulled that he's just wearing a silicone mask so they don't have to record additional VA lines or reanimate every scene with Date in it
>The only time she is mentioned is when they say she is in the living room watching tv.
I have bad news
I want to ruffle Ota's hair so bad
If you don't like AI's humor you won't like AI 2. Don't bother.
Come get some, motherfrickers!!!
Is it me or did AI 1 look better?
Prediction: TC-PERGE is actually Radical-6 and AI3 will be all about preventing the mass launch of the virus, merging the two series timelines.

Are porno mags speeding up Date's processing to 3.6 times normal rate supposed to be a Radical-6 reference, since 36 = 6^2? The math doesn't exactly line up but 3.6 seems like a specific choice.

they should remake 999 and VLR like Somnium where you walk around in 3d instead of tapping around
Mizuki is(literally) made for Bibi
off topic to AI but how the frick did they screw up the novel mode gimmick in the re release of 999 so bad bros? How hard would it have been to just have dual screens like if you were using a DS Emulator? Just finished the OG version on melonDS and it's so much better that way than the nonary games version that I played years ago
It's a shame we never got a 3DS version of 999. That was their last chance to naturally have 2 screens but add voice acting, the flowchart, and other improvements in the enhanced port.
Yeah or an alternate timeline where the wii u didn't flop and they actually did a full 3D version where the game pad is akane and the TV is junpei. Still though, the novel mode idea was such a bad idea. It would have been so much better to just have 2 screens next to eachother and a little pop up when you start just explaining the game was meant to be played on 2 separate screens or something. Novel mode made no sense at all.
How did they even explain the twist in the new version?
They didn't really. They had "Escape mode" and "novel mode" or something like that and you hit tab to toggle between them. The first mode would be the top screen on DS with Junpei but since you wouldn't get the extra context stuff outside of dialogue that Akana provides, they just add it to the text box anyway. Novel mode is supposed to be Akane's side but it just winds up being the same shit written in the other mode but without sprites and stuff like that, just a novel. They present it as if you can play or read the game but then at the end when they put it all together it takes over and switches for you back and forth. Made very little sense to me when I played it at first and very contrived.
who else thought the game was going to be about two psyncers going into one mind at the same time?
Now that you've said this I wish it had happened. Frick.
I went into the game totally blind and didn't even know there was a second protagonist and AI Ball partner. The moment I saw Ryuki I was like wtf who is this. I don't remember much about AI1 I thought that Ryuki was a minor character in that game.
Kek it was so long since I played the first one that I thought it was Date's original face at first for a second
Reminder that all endings other than the true end and divergence are bad endings as the tc-perge plan is not stopped in them
so i was hearing the ending song and japanese and Gen seems to have a distinctive grungy voice while in the EN version he just sounds like a dude.
his EN voice is some random guy that does board game reviews on youtube
This is why JP voices will always be superior, even the games with the lowest budgets will get good actors because they know how important they are, meanwhile EN gets a couple of good ones and fills the rest with random people off the street.
that guy is a professional VA not some random youtuber
Man...What the hell happened to me?
what somnium is this?
I can't remember.
It's in the bonus menu. You might have not unlocked it or done it yet?
Someone didn't finish the game
nvm just played through it.
No wonder why everyone was talking about a 999 remake.
To be honest, I don't think it would do much for it unless they made a full 3d overhaul of the game/scene transitions and such.
after you get the divergent ending with the nil code you unlock a remake of the first room in 999 except it's aiba in a somnium
I think they were just fricking around by making an easter egg. I don't think they're looking to remake it.
probably not, i don't think there's much reason to
unless he's going to go full moron and remake the ZE series and rework it so that they're all related to AI as well
999 redo: you must not mention Kyle
It's kinda funny thinking Aiba is a college student.
>we're expected to believe this never had a steady relationship and had to adopt a 15-year old designer baby
>steady
you answered your own query
Falco/Date wiener too strong. Cucks everyone.
I do wonder if Boss can't find a boyfriend because of her personality or if she really is just so hung up on whatever she had with pre amnesia Falco that she can't move on. Really hope AI3 doesn't ignore past game like AI2 did so we can get some real development.
Bibi = BB = Big Boss
Digital Roots were a fricking stupid gimmick.
Since people seem divided on if the twist was possible to predict with the evidence you have before the explanations(Kizuna/Lien end, Mama scene, and Bibi talk at Aioen), how about a little poll?
At what points did you
>realize the timeline was messed up in some way even if you didn't know how
>realize there are 2 Mizukis
>realize the timelines are shuffled(no need for the exact order)
1. When boss said Ryuki shot a clown
2. After she took off the mask
3. When Mama said that
1: When the events start to not make sense, so around the time you get to Komeji's body in Mizuki's route I think.
2: When masked mizuki fights just like mizuki in Shoma's end
3: When it's revealed to be lmao
the timeline was messed up in some way even if you didn't know how
When Boss scolded Ryuki, because I was like "Yeah no she let Date and Pewter off easy when they let #89 escape in AI 1, she wouldn't get this mad over that
there are 2 Mizukis
When Date stepped in and said whatever the frick he did to Mizuki during the abandoned factory raid
the timelines are shuffled(no need for the exact order)
Tokiko jumpscare
>Tokiko jumpscare
In her office? Why was that the thing that tipped you off?
Because you see that event "after" she's been sliced in half, so I was pretty sure about it being a narration quirk rather than her actually being alive again
Yeah, I feel like the Tokiko jumpscare is super easy to handwave as Ryuki hallucinating considering that it's already been firmly established that he's crazy enough to need hospitalization ASAP.
>realize the timeline was messed up in some way even if you didn't know how
the komeji luggage thing
>realize there are 2 Mizukis
I unintentionally metagamed and realized the moment they introduced the mask girl because she had the same voice. but in game I figured she and mizuki were related during the scene in Date's house, the things she said made me go "yeah that's mizuki"
>realize the timelines are shuffled(no need for the exact order)
again the luggage thing. but i still went "what the frick" when it was revealed to be fair.
I would have thought it right away if they didn't out right tell you in the first scene that the body was found 6 years apart. I was skeptical when Ryuki and Boss looked the same in both timelines. That probably would have been it. By the time I got to the "current" day shoma talking about how his dad died a couple days ago I honestly thought they were just so incompetent they lost track of it kek.
I suspected something was up when the timeflow chart only had dates with no years in it
1. When Mama shows you Nirvana Trial video in Mizuki's route and tells you it just came out, but we saw it in the past as Ryuki
2. I didn't
3. I didn't
1. when there was some scene mentioning the murder of komeji with Mizuki and shoma but I was under the impresion that murder was old, i though there were going to be multiple "future" timelines for each one of the past timeline endings
2. never, that was an asspull, i knew that mizuki was going to be behind the mask at some point, but never would have guessed the plottwist they went with, I was assuming time travel most of the time.
3. same as 1
the timeline was messed up in some way even if you didn't know how
Abandoned Factory scene
there are 2 Mizukis
After interacting with the masked girl a couple times in Ryuki's route
the timelines are shuffled(no need for the exact order)
Took me a while after the abandoned factory to land on that answer. Don't recall when.
>realize the timeline was messed up in some way even if you didn't know how
Mizuki Chapter 4. The whole thing felt like a fever dream that was really out of place with the story.
>realize there are 2 Mizukis
Kizzy and Lien ending
>realize the timelines are shuffled(no need for the exact order)
When that was one of the options for Mama's question
Watching a friend play and im kinda piss he called the twist as early as like chapter 4 ryuki
he read spoilers beforehand and is trying to look smart
What was his reasoning?
Shoma mentions his dad died "yesterday" when you're playing as Mizuki. I suspected something was off. But I passed it off as him having some sort of new cognitive disability.
Mizuki also says during that conversation that she will never know what it's like to lose her parents, which is fricking odd after the first game even if she just found out she was adopted
>just got granted The Simp Trident
>immediately tell him after that his mom is working there
what the frick was their problem
He deserves to know
Elephant
>having an elderly lady with dementia work as a waiter in your establishment, a customer facing role
this does not seem like a good idea
you don't need to tip her at least 🙂
Or is it?
It's Date's fault, he told them he liked them thick and milfy and look at the result
I mean, she just applied, right? We don't know if she actually got the job or not.
What is the equivalent moment to this in AI2?
maybe when Amame took the corpse from Komeji's house? He was going to come clean and show it to Ryuki, but when it was gone they had to go to the meeting point without it, and then Ryuki had his little schizo moment and it all went to shit
Gen refusing to fix his freezer door for 6 years without anyone finding this odd
Why even put it in there just throw it away
was it really 6 years?
Amame killed Tearer in present and not the past.
It was Jin's corpse, not Uru's. It's the half that Komeji found.
are you sure?
can you explain in what order the murderer happened?
for I could grasp only 1 murder occurred 6 years in the past (half body at the studio that exploded), and the others were in the present.
So why did Ryuki wait 6 years to analyze the Dvaita scene and follow up with Amame? Even if he did at the time and he just doesn't remember because he schizo'd out at some point, wouldn't someone at ABIS follow up and ask wtf happened at that crime scene?
3 murders happened in the past
1. Jin
2. Chikara
3. Komeji as replacement (because he stole the other half of Jin)
ok so this is more stupid that I thought then.. so Amame hid what she knew about the HB case for 6 years even tho her dad was already dead?
why?
because if not there wouldn't be a game anon she needs to do what the dead cult lady tells her to do (even after she's also dead) because if she doesn't then there is no game
she had to do it because Tokiko threatened her that her underling would report her if she didnt follow along with her plan
no, that didn't happened until after 6 years of the murder. Tokiko had no control over her for the 6 years that passed after Komeji's death
wait if she was only doing it because Tokiko's underling would report her if she didn't...why is she entrusting her end of the world crazy esoteric cult plans to place her body very specifically to a teenage waitress? Especially if her second in command knows the plan anyway? Why isn't he doing it? He must know because she said if the plans aren't followed exactly he'd rat her out. Why the frick isn't he just doing it then?
Because we have to FRAY
yeah, many character have to make irrational decisions for this plot to work.
I can understand Amame doing stupid shit, but not Tokoki leaving everything on her hands for not good reason.
1. Amane is 24
2. Because there always has to be one more plot twist
The point was to turn her into an accomplice and to get a character we know to tell us what she did
personal connection to Mizuki/Ryuki/(You). Notice how her Sonmium had a rather large focus on how you can't change the past and how you must live with your actions no matter how horrible and then when you input the nil numbers it's all it's a simulation so frick it, everyone has a happy ending now cause you put in the cheat code? That's deliberate. Beating into your head Naix is right, time to Fray.
I was under the impression that the cult lady only blackmailed her AFTER she killed Uru, which means was 6 years after the first murders.
like this guy says
still I guess the answer is because Tearer threaten her, but the game gives the impression that she never talked to him again until 6 years passed.
All Amame knew was that there was a body in the freezer and that she met Tearer(when she met him she didn't know he'd killed Komeji and he had a gun on her). Her direct involvement came in the present when she killed Uru and Tokiko blackmailed her.
Uru literally contacts Amame just because, what did he expect was going to happen?
From my understanding him dying there was part of the plan, or at least Tokiko's plan.
he had no experience with girls and had fallen in love with her at first sight, he probably figured he would dazzle her with complex motives.
Tokiko was a bit smarter in that regard and knew she would murk him, thus the blackmail plot
he had a crush on her. He was a prisoner his whole life, amame was probably the first cute girl that he ever saw and got obsessed with her.
I know this shit happens, I still think about a cute girl I had a convo with like 4 years ago.
also she never went to the cops to tell them what she saw, more reason to believe she was on his side somehow.
first to cover up for her dad, then guilt for getting her dad killed. Then Tearer just calls her out of the blue to invite her to his secret underground lair to say hi, then once she kills him Tokiko has blackmail on her so Amame's got no choice but to do her bidding.
He probably did but didn't realize Tearer was there
I feel like Ryuki was meant to be tricked by the big twist the same way the player is, and that would help explain that, but it either got dropped or wasn't explained as well as it should have been.
>6 years ago
Jin, killed by Uru. His Uru right half is put on TV and his Jin left half is left at Misetan but Komeji steals it and it ends up in the freezer
Chikara, killed by Uru. His halves are both successfully planted at school/park
Komeji, killed by Uru. Kidnapped from Dvaita as revenge, his right half doesn't get a chance to be placed correctly since the Iris gang come in, his left half goes to Misetan to replace the body he took
>Present
Uru, killed by Amame. His right half is left in the stadium by Amame on Tokiko's orders, his synthetic left half in the cathedral
Tokiko, Kills herself. Has Amame put her right half in her office, left half just sits in the Horadori basement.
Yes, it's the body that his dad stole
Why is Tokiko so fricking hot
>tama is hotter but I like aiba better
Abia X Mixuki X Bibi
The actual most unfair mystery in the game was how the body got to the center of the field. They tell you "oh there's no way someone walked it here there's no evidence of tracks" and then like 10 hours of Ryuki route later when you unlock the Mizuki routes, the answer is just that the game lied to you and there's actual a tire track along a field line as well as 2 more pieces of evidence.
it was dumb way before that because they said people walking on the field would leave tracks but there were no tracks on the field despite all of the police standing there investigating
also lmao @ the robot just happening to squirt oil out of its arm for some reason as it's moving
IIRC they say there are tracks on the field, but aside from the ones put there by the cops, Mizuki, and Boss there are no others.
Is it ever explained why Komeji's head is a fricking square?
his story is so sad that if he looked realistic people would get too depressed
>If you only knew how bad things really are.
kek now that i think of it, why weren't the kids at school making fun of his dad for being a literal block head? who cares if he's an unfunny comedian https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSHbbTcbcds
I always found it fricked up nobody pays his square head any mind yet Gen's supposed to have a terrifying condition
I think his head isn't actually square for characters in-universe. Tama comments on how Shoma used cubism when she sees his drawing of Komeji
you literally see his square skull when you x ray
Yeah but Ryuki doesn't immediately realize that it's Komeji until he walks out
What are her interests besides being obsessed with Mizuki?
pissing off her mom
medicine, gene therapy, being a secret detective i guess
n/a, mizuki will have to get her into annoying Date now that he's back though
>date now has to deal with two bratty smug chaos gremlins
he will not survive
I need the komeji joker image, anyone got it?
Speaking of Komeiji, I may have missed it but how the frick did Tearer knock out ryuki, incapacitate Komeji, bring Komeji's body to the secret underground lair, split him, then return with the side of his body within the time it took the kids to taxi from Shoma's to the studio? Was that even acknowledged?
That's like a couple of hours. It's doable
They didn't follow immediately, there's something like a 2 hour gap
He's a religious nut raised in a basement, people skills aren't really his strong suit.
Why though? It's not like there was any new info that came up in the 6 years that shed light on that scene. It should have been obvious back then that Amame had seen and been threatened by Tearer.
>Why though? It's not like there was any new info that came up in the 6 years that shed light on that scene
There was a new murder and the case reopened so I guess he was going over everything again.
I guess he just didn't think of using Xray to check behind the stage. Xray wasn't available until he asked Tama if she had everything from the scene.
Sex with a postmenopausal hag and filling her with so much cum she becomes fertile again
The creator certainly didn't see that coming
>tfw you convince Tokiko that 500 creampies will open a tear in the warp and weft
>slowly making her go from
the latter one of course, why wouldn't it be? You don't think anything is wrong with admitting that as a simulated world, you can break the rules and sort things as you please with what amounts to a cheat code? to one creampie at a time
Anyone got a video of Ryuki jumping out the window?
the average somnium files player
he really knows his audience
>as soon as order of the % comes up I predicted a twist where it's not %, but two 9's
>completely miss the mark
Is anyone else disappointed at how few supernatural elements there are? The mystery turned out to be almost entirely mundane, and the frayer true ending was more of a victory lap than anything.
I mean, you were close
I was relieved. If the simulation stuff was actually part of the mystery then literally anything could be explained/excused and nothing would matter.
Nothing DOES matter because it truly is a simulation. As it is, it feels tossed in and something of that magnitude should've been a more central plot point considering it is a fundamental part of the game's universe.
By nothing would matter I mean there would be no point theorizing because anything could happen. Say for example if the timeline stuff really was just all glitches and Tokiko just came alive. As it the mystery and what happens does matter because it's played straight in the story, the simulation stuff is just a final twist/mindfrick that they don't get to address here but hopefully will in AI3.
Considering their reluctance to continue anything from Sominum 1, I doubt it, which is a shame because there's a lot you can do with that idea in a setting like this, just as there was with the PSYNC machine's true purpose.
No, they did it in the first game too with the Iris Naix red herring
yes, to me it feels like uchikoshi is now going against supernatural / conspiracy stuff and making everyone who believes in it crazy, but back in 999 i thought that he thought the sheldrake stuff might have something to it.
>and making everyone who believes in it crazy
But Naix are literally right and Tokiko manages to not only escape the false reality but also create a timeline where nobody but 2 who deserve it die.
The first game deliberately said "lol nah it's all the work of the e-girl's tumor" for its Naix shit so seeing this game try to both double down on the no-supernatural AND also have shit like TC-PERGE and cloning just feels like amateur hour
I don't think AI1 ever says that Naix is 100% fake just that Iris is delusional about them wanting to kill her
That's what I mean. My problem isn't Naix being real, because using that as a double red herring would've been really funny and well-done, but I'm not a fan of just how large their stake in the story is. Having them just be a bunch of loons that you visit here and there would've been better for the world AI set up
She wasn't just right about Naix, she was right about the Alternate timelines, and immortality (Chikara's research and Shoma).
the immortality bit being the only thing that Tokiko calls out specifically as being a lie when you talk to her, which is interesting as Naix believes reality as a whole to be a lie, so maybe it's a particular sticking point between Naix and the Order of %.
Why do you gays even play VNs in english?
I don't even want to think about how they translated the ほらけんちか puzzle in the balloons, nor do I want to think about how they translated and acted out Komeji's manzai delivery or the songs in the game
not everyone is a weeb.
>how they translated and acted out Komeji's manzai delivery
they didn't
>Why do you gays even play VNs in english?
Believe it or not, Japanese is a shitty fricking language that will never be popular enough to get a large number of people reading it. It doesn't matter if most of the media they consume is from Japan, it doesn't matter if they could do it in 5 years, they're just not gonna, it's that shit of a language.
You find
A R
E L
F E
and 2 XX arrows then you read in the order the arrows point to get ALFREE.
Komeji's jokes don't really have a theme but his catchphrases are super awkward in English
I'm talking about the puzzle that leads you to the secret rooms under Horadori
It's a pretty nice language in my experience. Might just be the novelty of SOV and the fun yojijukugo and, for lack of better terms and knowledge on my end, "logographic based" expressions, but I fricking love speaking japanese. Not only does it sound good because of the high vowel to consonant ratio and the simple phonetic inventory that manages to avoid sharp striking sounds most of the time which makes it pleasant to the ear, it also has the character of making grandstanding proclamations or outlandish expressions (like in weeb media) sound cool.
”三十六計逃げるに如かず” would probably sound clunkier if translated, and taking from the game, stuff like the yoji jokes like Lien mistaking 七転八倒 for 七転八起 wouldn't be as hilarious
>三十六計逃げるに如かず
how would you translate it?
I don't know, maybe "Of the thirty six stratagems, fleeing is best" or something.
I mentioned that I feel it sounds clunkier translated because the topic drop aspect of JP allows you to say the expression in exclamation or duress. Sort of like how you'd say "When all else fails, retreat!" except translating it like that misses the Sun Tzu reference which is all of the fun
What makes you think I can read your moonrunes?
Well I'd assumed you to be versed in the language if you're as critical of it as you are
because your shitposts are entertaining
I kind of want AI 3 but I think the plot will get way too stupid and we'll get another ZTD
Sounds great
As it is AI2 is to AI1 as VLR is to 999, so I fully expect and embrace it. Hit me with your worst, most insane writing, Uchikoshi, you hack.
Thats what I want
I feel like they took every criticism of the first game to heart and either fixed it or doubled down. Making Iris's mom have a dead arm in the final dance being the former and adding more superhuman qte scenes and dancing scenes being the latter
I like Tokiko's plan but I don't feel like she actually did anything. Like how exactly did she mess with the players UI to show out of order events? Am I supposed to believe that she somehow has the ability to grant Mama a supernatural entity that will explain this to the Frayer?
The game tries to convince me that nothing supernatural is going on but everything Tokiko is able to do is in the realm of magic.
Tokiko doesn't actually do anything supernatural. She is aware of The Frayer's existence and way they see events as proved by her breaking the glass statue in the future so they see it fixed in the past, and she orchestrates events to break causality when a random number crosses over. Other than that everything done is just mundane.
it'd just be super cute if they were together is all
short + fat
Peak performance
what dlc scenario do you think we'll get? story that takes place after the ending?
Just 30 minutes of raucous sex with every character involved. It's what the fans want.
Hard to say unless we know how long each dlc will be. My guess would be either an extended epilogue that might tie in to a 3rd game or a more fleshed out divergence route. Could also be a bunch of short slice-of-life scenarios, which would also be nice
Maybe more Zero Escape reference sonmiums. Maybe some Bibi-Mizuki team ups, desperately needed Mizuki-Date adopted daddy scenes, that would be nice
Whenever i see Aiba I am reminded of Shem-Ha before she possess the childhood friend
Mizuki & Iris sleepover!
Mizuki is FLAT
Mizuki & Iris shopping together!
I like flag, but a little more boob never hurt
Uchi's likes are fun
Gas westerners
This Ryuki is gay for Date shit wouldn't be as prevalent if he'd gotten some genuine love from Aiba. Just kidding, Ryuki's got Tama and that didn't change a thing.
I don't understand how you can play the game not not conclude Ryuki was at least a little interested beyond the professional in Date. There's definitely a lot pointing toward Tama/Ryuki and it's more realistic since Date's gone back to Hitomi by the end of the game, but from their intimate physical(but not sexual!) relationship to Ryuki just saying he loves Date, it's at least a possibility.
Hitomi is a shit love interest for Date anyway though it should be Aiba no question
Date is like a hero to Ryuki, not everything has to be about sucking wieners, fricking fujos, I swear.
I'm just saying anon, his affection seems a bit much for just a hero.
>fujos
Noted fujo ship, Date/Aiba.
I joked about Ryuki's homolust for Date throughout the game, but it was just that, jokes. If you have much experience with Nip media of this sort there should be little doubt that his feelings towards Date aren't intended to be romantic.
I'd be fine with Ryuki being bi and wouldn't be surprised if Uchikoshi teases that angle to appease twitter but like, everything in the Japanese reads as Ryuki just being an enthusiastic kouhai who admires his senpai.
Uchikoshi should just tell people they can think whatever they want and leave it at that
Has there actually been talk of a 999 remake/reboot? Or is that just people speculating based off the bonus level
Several years ago they made an iOS version which removes all the puzzles.
really? i thought it was just a port of the console version
zero escape remake/rebirth/re____ incoming...
reai: somnium files
No Date, I did not eat the comically large cheese from the fridge.
Does anything special happen if you input Dahlia Boat on a fresh save file before getting both of Ryuki's endings? Is it possible to look up your save file's nil number with a hex editor or is that only generated at the true ending?
for I understand you can play the Mizuki route normally but there are certain story locks that need Ryuki ends to continue anyways.
>Is it possible to look up your save file's nil number
Even if you can you'd still have gotten it in a meta manner which means Tokiko is still right.
This game didn't trick me. It lied to me.
The game never lies, brainlet
how are they both so hot
H-how did she know?
It's painfully obvious anon! They can tell you're horny just by looking at you.
They should have brought back her channel before the Hidden Bats stuff to market AI2. Vtubers are even bigger now so it'd be pretty popular.
Thanks for reminding me of the Uchi exploitables. Now if only I knew what to do with them.
nice
Beautiful.
cute
About to buy and play through the first game, is it as good as the ZE series? Not Counting ZTD.
AI1 is more cleanly put together than any of the ZEs but lacks some of the insanity highs
A lot of people consider AI1 to be his best work.
me included and you can trust me bro.
no
the story isn't quite as convoluted as those and you can see the twists coming before they happen most of the time but it's better written and more fun than any of them. 2 is ztd tier in terms of story
>ztd tier in terms of story
no it isnt what the frick?
>2 is ztd tier in terms of story
It absolutely is not, stop being histerical.
Did Tearer only have 1 ball? Is that why he went on an incel incest rage?
That's a good question. Did Uru and Jin keep their dicks or did they keep half of it?
test
Place your bets. Does Mame get out of jail for the third game?
Mame will be the protagonist of the 3rd game.
The third game will be after Diverge timeline so she was never in jail
If they got Pooter out, they'll get Mame out
Pooper was an inside job though. The public knows Amame is a killer
her upcoming parole date is mentioned offhand by Gen (Now with New Mask™) if you enable AI2 spoilers and she is otherwise completely absent
She'll get a couple of years at most, she killed a mass murderer and they even mention some people consider her a hero.
if we keep going six years for the sequel she could be out, or Boss could pull some bullshit to have Gen under her thumb. Seems like the kind of shit she would do
100%, same deal as Pewter. Gotta have that mermaid skeleton bro
>date kills a shitload of people as falco
>"he's good lol"
>mame kills a serial killer that killed her father while stuck alone with him in his lair
>"I CAN'T TAKE BACK WHAT I'VE DONE"
one has years of experience as an assassin and a detective, the other is a waitress
>Boss wants to have sex with them? No charges
>Boss doesn't want to have sex with them? life in prison, no parole
thems the breaks with christmas cake
Third game won't recycle the entire cast again, hopefully.
Lol you know god damn well it will
Let me dream, anon.
How many eyes would you give for an AI gf?
one?
or can I take eyes from other people
ai1 had 2 playable characters
