"Future Choices Alter Past Events" Could This Mean It Takes Place After The Events In 999?

Possibly, but the more likely meaning is revealed in 999's true ending. Actually, now that you point that out, this almost indubitably confirms that this takes place during 999 and not before or after. Of course, it's not a real confirmation, but it makes it a very real possibility.

Spoiler

The reason for this is that in 999, Junpei had to do very specific things to ensure Akane stayed alive in the past, this may be a similar scenario, except this time there is no "set path" that must be followed to reach a certain ending.

"Future Choices Alter Past Events" Could This Mean It Takes Place After The Events In 999?

Well, if I remember correctly, the writer of the game's story did say that if he were to create a sequel that it would be set after 999 and incorporate some of the characters from it.

True.Very True.I'm Very Skeptical Of The Grandpa I Hope He Had Something In Large Relation With One Of The Cast From 999,Like Junpei But I Doubt It's Likely.

The only reason I can't get behind the whole "parallel storyline" thing is because of the Clover look-a-like. That throws me off.

Spoiler

Oh, and with the possibility of the dead grey-haired lady being Akane thing

Well there is the very real possibility that this was a back-up plan in case Junpei failed. Zero could have found people similar to those that were on the Gigantic when she was there, either in personality, appearance, or both, and placed them on the Gigantic. For whatever reason they were placed on the Gigantic, back-ups or not, this would explain the All-ice like character in the 999 true ending. At the very least, the Allice like character in this game escaped the Gigantic and made it back to land, and looked for a ride back, which was Junpei and the gang. Going back to the possibility that they were a back-up plan, this would explain the safe ending and how Zero had the ability to put Junpei to sleep, it's very possible that Zero isn't exactly the same Akane as the Akane from the past where Junpei and Akane worked together to save her, but rather an alternate Akane created from the group from this game transmitting their actions to the previous characters on the Gigantic years before, and due to their actions this different Akane chose to become Zero.

But that's impossible, as Akane used the Morphogenetic Field to give the correct "way" to Junpie, Thus eliminating the reason for a backup plan.

I don't find the "All-Ice" thing plausable at all, cause if Building Q is in Arazona, even if they were on the Gigantic in the Pacific, there wouldn't really be a reason for Allice to be just casually strolling through the desert after narrowly escaping death.

OR, the reason Junpie was put to sleep was because Akane knew he screwed up, so she told Santa to put him "out of his misery". Cause notice, in that ending, after you leave Akane with Aoi, he never appears again.

True, that all makes sense, but we don't know enough about this game to really count those things out, except for the second one, but it's still possible

Spoiler

The reason being there's a possibility that the new group isn't on the Gigantic but rather on the other ship I can't remember, or more unlikely, the Titanic itself. This would make it possible that the ship were in a different location than the Gigantic originally was, possibly an area closer to Building Q, and therefore making it possible yet unlikely that one would venture into the desert and thus run into Junpei and the others. Unlikely, but still.

Though the third one is correct on your part, no doubt.
As to the first one

Spoiler

I find it possible as the morphogenetic field was the basis of the entire project, in the past and present, and if an Akane from an alternate future had not been created as Zero, then Akane would not have been saved at all.

Just a theory.

I don't know if I can get behind that, cause if the tests were to determine the causes and effects of the Morphogenitic Field, then it wouldn't make much since to have two of the test facilities too close to each other. Cause distance is something that would be measured in research like that.

Spoiler

That in lies the paradox of this game. If Akane doesn't save herself in the past, then she cannot exist to save herself in the future. That's why I always assumed that the entire game was done in one "sitting" for the past Akane, she saw every outcome and used those to forge a way to save herself through Junpie.

 

[Haloman800]

Aww man they don't have anybody hot in there like they had with Lotus.
You dont think the "All-Ice Lookalike" is just as hot, if not hotter than Lotus? She's too sexy for a shirt! xD

QUOTENow I'm really starting to think that it takes place during the first one...though there would be no reason for this...

Spoiler

The reason for this is because Akane is Zero, and the reason for having conducted this Nonary was so that she could save June...but she did that, so what would be the point?

They could just be having another one just for the hell of it, like they did originally. Maybe Bill Gates & Steve Jobs could be running it.

Spoiler

The 1st one was to see if Gentarou Hongau (or whatever) could use the morph-something field to get over his prosopagnosia (or whatever), it wasn't just for the heck of it

I lol'd hard IRL

edit:

Spoiler

after going over all the stuff in the thread, I think this will be another nonary game, but with the whole "betrayal" thing, maybe the game isn't designed to save all 9 people like the first? I also think that some of the original characters will show up in this game (Zero was shown in the trailer, who is Akane)

 

[XAlexBlitz209X]

So does that make the rabbit one of Zero's Minions/Associates?

Oh yeah, it's been a while since I've played it all the way through, so some of the details on that for me are fuzzy.

Well, it could be akin to one of the Saw movies. Saw V if I am not mistaken. The one where there are multiple people in one setting.

Actually, I see this game turning out a lot like that movie. If you've seen it, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

I think the rabbit is a "puppet" (to reference Saw again) kinda like the doll from the Saw franchise. It gives a face to your "enemy". It is easier to cooperate if all of them have a common enemy to focus on. Thus the "Cooperation or Betrayal" theme that have going on.

 

[RNorthex]

well the title is definately laughable and well the characters...so far the presentation....gee, it's 999 2 xD
but i did like 999, altough, i was a bit confused in the end [just like in phoenix wright, i hate when they make a realism based game and suddenly mix it with "magical" stuff] and it was definately a visual NOVEL, novel in the boldest text you can possibly imagine
now that both 3ds and vita[xD] have way better graphical capabilites, i hope they do more on the animation, rather then explaining everything in text
the only thing that saved me from boredom in reading the text is that it was interesting, but many ppl miss out on it just because it has way too much text

wait i changed my mind, not visual novel, but interactive book
which is not that bad....but i rly hope they don't make this the same as 999 text-wise

I read this here

A sequel titled Kyokugen Dasshutsu ADV Zennin Shibô Desu (roughly, Extreme Escape Adventure: Good People Die) was announced? for the Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita in August 2011. Average college student Sigma's life is turned upside-down when he's kidnapped and awakens in an elevator with an odd girl named Phi who seems to know him. Once the two escape, they encounter seven others and learn they are playing the Nonary Game, "Ambidex Edition", inside a giant warehouse - a "game of betrayal". The group must escape the warehouse, either by cooperation or betrayal. Check out the trailer here.

 

[ShinyJellicent12]

Yeah... sorry for double posting.
But from here I found out that the original story had to do with a boy and a girl chained to each other, trying to escape. So when Sigma wakes up in the elevator with Phi, that's kind of the story.

Quoting Junpei from the beginning of the game:

"OWWWWWCHDAMNIT!"

and from another point in the game:

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?"

WHY DO I NOT HAVE A 3DS OR VITA

I don't plan to buy one either... not with my current cash-strapped life ;(
