i just want to say that i really wish i spent 20h of my life on something productive or heck, something more fun and engaging but here we are.
i absolutely adore 999. vlr was kinda wonky but still interesting and i actually had a wish to play it and find out what happens, ztd on the other hand? boring, nonsensical, ugly and relies a lot on shock value which isn't really shocking, it's more like an uncomfortable and weird scene one after another.
the 1.5 star goes to team d, especially phi, because she is the only Normal character in this hell of a game.
akane and junpei are unrecognizable in this game, everything that made them likable and real - gone, now we have some puppets pretending to be a butchered up version of them. carlos is the token siscon character and i couldn't find myself caring for him as most of the people did, sigma and diana are okay, some moments were definitely weird but, well, it could be worse. team q? the most irrelevant and useless addition to the character roster. q is okay, i felt bad for him because the worst character in existence, eric, was picking on him all the time because he can't offer anything other than being obsessed with the second worst character - mira, or bitching and moaning about his family issues which weren't even explored enough.
as for the final antagonist and his motivations and the overall ending of the game? no comment, i think you just can't even make that up even if you tried, pointless, nonsensical and not satisfying at all.
i'm just sad and angry that this series didn't get the closure it deserved, instead we got this ??? really weird attempt of tying loose ends by making it even more farfetched and crazy. amazing.
