Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors (kateee) I used to struggle to remember what order Hours, Persons, and Doors came in the title so I'd occasionally have to look it up if I wanted to talk about it to make sure I got it right, but thankfully, I don't have that problem anymore! Anyway, since 999 is the only Zero Escape game on this list, I'll just go ahead and say it's my least favorite of the three, while Virtue's Last Reward is my favorite (with Zero Time Dilemma in the middle, obviously). That's not a knock against this game. Zero Escape is just a good series. I love the setting and the atmosphere. Starting the game by having to find your way out of a room flooding with water is really intense and sets a strong tone. 999 revs it up even higher after the character introductions when someone literally blows up, and the rest of the cast seems compelling, too, despite the fact that they didn't blow up. It's a fantastic introduction and drives you to see where it all leads. I also lucked out in that I got the ending that leads to the True Ending last, so I didn't have to do a lot of backtracking and replaying. I got the Axe ending first, which I feel like is probably the best one to get first because it's appropriately creepy. I enjoy splitting off into groups with different sets of characters. They divide the cast up well so that you get plenty of time with everyone. I like Junpei as a protagonist, although he's a bit too crass for my tastes at times. My favorite characters are probably Ace, Snake, and Lotus, and there's no one among the main cast I dislike. I really like the story because it stays crazy all the way through, but in a good way. It's hard to tell where it's going sometimes, and it doesn't always pay off, but I like the fact that they aren't afraid to try. I can respect the fact that the series always takes big swings, so I can overlook it when it stumbles a bit at times. I appreciate the stuff it got right more than I complain about what it got wrong. The True Ending tries so hard to bring it all together, and it mostly succeeds. It has a few hiccups, but the good far outweighs the bad. I need to replay the series one of these days so I can experience it all over again because it was such a wild ride. As an aside, I loved the prosopagnosia twist even though I saw it coming, partly because I had actually heard of it before. I remembered randomly seeing a news story about a dude who had it one time when I was a kid, so that was neat for me. I think the fact that I knew what it was and thus could recognize the symptoms when they were foreshadowed enhanced that twist for me.
