What do you think Zero's general goal is?

oh shit. here's how I see it:

none of the 999 endings actually lied to us, so I kind of have to assume that Dio's ending is indeed consistent with the world of the game. with that in mind, it's hard to see any way that Zero's motives are not rooted in stopping this Myrmidon pandemic apocalypse. it would be patently absurd to have an apocalyptic event hanging around in the background of the game's plot without being a driving force in anyone's actions.

on the other hand, how a Nonary Game can possibly solve this issue is an entirely separate thing. 999 did use a game to change the past, but it would be weird to use that trick again verbatim. that said, Tenmyouji's Mars mission where Radical-6 was purported to have originated from stands out as a particularly weird and poorly explained hanging thread - could Zero be trying to send information back to the people there, so that Radical-6 is never created? that would certainly explain why Tenmyouji was essentially blackmailed into joining the game.

I actually like being put on the spot like that! I only thought of that idea just now. if it's halfway right I will feel so smug.
