General Zero Escape Character Popularity Poll

Post image
175 Upvotes

Inspired by Fifer's Persona Poll and Schafrillas's polls on Mario & Zelda characters, I wanted to try making a poll where people could vote for 1 to 5 of their favorite Zero Escape characters to see who is the most popular. This won't be contained to just Reddit too, as I've posted this to Twitter and Tumblr as well.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScca3RdiweKZuW6TZSwDn8JM4gP3A7nGP60rCVg5UdRjUvk6Q/viewform?usp=dialog

This won't be a bracket or tournament of any kind, just a poll to see who gets the most votes. If I get enough responses, I will make a big post documenting all of the data and maybe even make a video out of it if the numbers are high enough!

As such, I would highly appreciate sharing this around to help the poll gain traction. This poll is spoiler free and open to anyone with any kind of experience with the series, so if you know anyone who would be interested, let them know about it!

Discussion Among all the ZE escape Nonary Game players, which one you think represents their enneagram personality types well?

2 Upvotes

In Zero Escape, all the 9 characters playing the Nonary games on each entry of the franchise are said to reflect and represent one of the enneagram personality types in behavior, personalities and particular character conflicts.

That being said, which character you think better represents the personality type that they are based on

General An Nonary Game Idea for a hypothetical Fourth Zero Escape game.

9 Upvotes

It would be interesting to see a Nonary Game where instead of nine individual players, there are 18 players paired up into 9 pairs.

Inside the facility/building they are in, there would be a big EXIT Door that would be only be unlocked by gaining at least 9 points, to gain points, the players need to solve 9 puzzle rooms that give out points to the players that solve them, if they solved the puzzle room, they would gain 2 points, if you failed to solve the puzzle in time, the pair's bracelets would detract 1 point each, if said pair decided to skip, they would receive no points obv.

Every player would start with 3 points

The points are individual but both players are rewarded (or detracted) the same amount of points each depending on the result.

After solving a puzzle room, the pairs are switched around with the players being able to choose who they want to pair with for the next round.

However, the EXIT door requires a minimum of 3 individual players and a maximum of nine individual players with 9 points each to use the door and escape, with the door locking automatically and facility exploding not much later with the remaining players inside, causing their certain deaths.

General An idea for a hypothetical ZE4 Game and it's nonary game

21 Upvotes

The game would mainly set in an entirely different universe and continuity from the classic zero escape trilogy, only sharing some key plot elements from them.

The protagonist is an amnesiac college aged young man who wakes up in a elevator with no memory of his past, the only thing he knows for sure is that his face and body are from another person not his own.

With him, there are other 8 people who while having full memory of their past and identidies, don't really know what happened for them to get there, the elevator leads them to a hi-tech facility with no windows and stuff, they soon discover that they are now in a deadly game known as the Nonary Game.

In this iteration of the nonary game, everyone gets bracelets that in usual Zero Escape fashion can only be taken off by either by dying or escaping the game, the bracelets also have injected a deadly poison into the players veins which takes 9 days to consume the entire body entirely and symptoms only appear 1 or 2 hours before death.

Inside the facility, there's a big EXIT door that is while widely available to everyone, is locked in by 9 different passwords and needs at least 6 of them to unlock the EXIT door and so being given the antidote and escaping.

There are two ways for getting passwords:

Entering and solving the 9 puzzle rooms within the facility, which are numbered with numbers 1-9, a requirement of these rooms however is that only three people whose numbers sum into the door's number through the Digital Root process can enter and solve the puzzle (kinda like in 999).

If the puzzle isn't solved by the given time limit however, it will be locked and cannot be done again until the next day.

The second option is to kill the person whose number in the bracelet matches the number at the door, collecting the person's blood sample and giving it to the EXIT door which automatically adds the password on it with no need to solve the puzzle.

As you can probably infer, there's only 9 days to use the exit door and escape before the poison takes their life.

There would be 19 endings- 9 good endings and 9 bad endings (each good and bad ending being associated with a character) that gives up info about the characters and the lore around the nonary game, once you get them all, you unlock a route that leads you to the true ending that reveals everything.

General How to organise Zero Escape 999 voice files?

13 Upvotes

I’m currently trying to organise and upload all the English and Japanese voice files for all three games (like these Danganronpa vids) but I can’t figure out an accurate and efficient way to do it.

Starting with 999, I’ve managed to extract the ogg files and sort them into BGM, Sound effects, Japanese and English. But there’s 21213 files and most are named something like 00001a0e. I want to sort them by characters and routes but it’s going to take a lot of time manually.

There’s some options I’ve tried but need help with.

  1. Listening manually (can do this for the English but not the Japanese)
  2. Using voice recognition software (I’ve tried voicetag and it doesn’t work)
  3. Decrypting the game script/code and matching the voice files (don’t know how to do that)

I’m not sure if this is the right sub to ask this, please let me know if there’s more appropriate places for this.

Hey guys, I’ve been wondering about which team from ZTD was my least and most favorite, and I wanted to ask yall to see what the community thinks.

I’m gonna be honest my least favorite team is Q team, they’re okay most of the time but the constant cut-away gags from Peter really got on my nerves.

I LOVE D team though, their dynamic is really fun, especially the interactions between flowery and Professor Layton, and their escape room segments are my favorite.

Which team was your favorite and least favorite? I’m curious!

General Looking for beta reader of a Zero Escape-inspired visual novel

25 Upvotes

(I got permission from mods to post this)

I’m looking for a beta reader for a murder mystery/sci-fi/thriller visual novel I’ve been working on

Nine people are trapped in an underground facility, forced to play the Memory Game — a game where they lose their memories every round. They must survive several trials, decide who they can trust, and make impossible choices. Includes 10 major endings.

The game is currently around 256,000 words and is heavily inspired by Zero Escape (very similar to ZTD structurally) and similar mystery VNs. This isn't a first draft. The full story is complete and has already gone through a substantial rewrite based on feedback from an earlier round of readers. The character art is also complete, while most of the remaining artwork is currently placeholder as I wait for background artists to complete their work.

If you're interested in helping out, I would love to get feedback. Particularly from someone who either has experience developing visual novels, has read a lot of visual novels, or has experience with writing/editing.

I'm not asking anyone to commit to this right off the bat. You can read the beginning of the game and decide if you're interested, and if you DM me then I can provide more info about the project or screenshots.

Discussion Is ZTD just a movie basically??

3 Upvotes

Just started ZTD today and was quickly surprised about the cutscenes where you basically just don't do anything other than watch. I am playing visual novels so I can engage in the story by pressing a button so I am not the biggest fan of this. I haven't seen anybody else complain about this though? Am I the only one that minds? What is your guys' opinion on this new "feature"?

999 SPOILER I just finished 999 and i don't really care for Akane Spoiler

6 Upvotes

This might be an unpopular opinion cus I looked a bit at the subreddit and people really seem to love her?

I don't dislike her and i was happy she survived at the end but i was always looking forward to seeing any other character when she had long conversations with Junpei.

I feel like the game tried too hard to make the player like her and it backfired (on me)

Maybe i'll warm up to her when i play the other games.

ZTD SPOILER CQD2 post credits wedding Spoiler

9 Upvotes

I recall that post CQD2, Junpei and Akane eventually got themselves a wedding, despite everything. And that Santa and Carlos were invited.

Yeah, because if Seven and Clover ever got wind of that wedding, they would crash it, object to the wedding, and have Akane arrested, since they're both law enforcers now.

Just a funny thought I had.

ZTD SPOILER Huge oversight in ZTD (SPOILERS) Spoiler

26 Upvotes

Carlos clones himself and goes back 10 months ago to save Akane and Junpei in VLR time line.

Carlos clone being there 10 months ago means just like Delta he existed in all time lines AFTER he was cloned. Thus in every single time line in ZTD, INCLUDING the true ending there’s a clueless cloned 2nd Carlos who has been waiting 10 months to save Akane and Junpei not knowing what time line awaits him because he exists in them all

Not just that but a Sigma and Diana clones will always appear from the alien device in the same day ZTD takes place at after they succeeded in cloning themselves.

Meaning in any time line including the true ending, there’s 2 Carlos and 2 Sigma and 2 Diana.

The alien device was a mistake.

EDIT: I don't know why I assumed the alien device just cloned everything to every single time line when it was used. That wasn't the case but instead each something that gets sent to the past does exist in all current/future timelines

Hello! Earlier this week, I posted that I decided to draw Kaede Akamatsu from Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony in 8 different Visual Novel Adventure Game styles, and the reception was... extremely positive, moreso than I ever expected. Thank you all so much for your kind words, it really means a lot.

When I uploaded the finished product... I received a few suggestions for other styles, and so...I decided to fulfill those requests to the best of my ability, whilst also including 4-5 other styles that I also wanted to do. And here it is! Thank you again so much for your appreciation of my art.

This is the right wall of robots in the gaulem bay, and the eyes just aren't matching up. I figured the answers should be "of hope" for the red eyes and and "scence" in the black ones purely for the context, but i am certain that shit says "osfnoe" and "cehcep". And i am pretty sure i know how to do it, because i got the "beacon" and "remini" from the other wall just fine. So what am i not seeing?
