Glad you enjoyed the game. I'm not a fan of the ending at all, but I do think it provides very strong closure for the series, and when I was actually playing through V3 I had a good time. I think the cases and characters in V3 are fun, but the ending soured me on the whole experience.
Normally I go through the post-game mode to finish up the "social links" for all the characters. I was initially excited to do this for characters who had minimal screen time like Rantaro, but this time I couldn't get very far at all in the post-game mode.
Once I knew the ending, I couldn't really enjoy the freetime events as much since I knew that every character and backstory is flat out bullshit. While there is the meta element that the characters in 1 and 2 are also "fictional", them being real in-universe still matters to me. Doing the free time events with the V3 cast, I couldn't get invested since everything they're talking about is quite literally made up. Ultimately, I really don't care about the V3 cast at all now because of this.
I don't regret playing it though, and V3 does have some cool moments. I did like Kaito's death scene, since it was a reference to the headmaster's death at the very start of DR1, and it fit with his ultimate talent.
Overall I prefer the writing style of the Zero Escape series and I'm looking forward to your topic on them!
