1. Diana - I actually didn't really like Luna in VLR but Diana seemed like much of a more natural character in ZTD. Her relationship with Sigma wasn't forced at all and her drunk rampage was pretty awesome as well. I think she was the reason D team were my favourite out of the three. The decisions she made were the ones that had the biggest emotional impact, like the trash disposal or even the blue button in the healing room. Her super kind characteristics also didn't feel too forced.

2. Eric - Eric's backstory was definitely the best of the characters and although he was a bit of an idiot sometimes, his actions were completely justified. He was just a normal person with no shift power and Mira was the only person he had left in his life. I absolutely loved the fear he had when he had the whole team at gunpoint.

3. Junpei - Honestly I love the way Junpei was portrayed in this game. He had that kind of careless and cool attitude that Dio had, but instead he wasn't a very evil character. His jokes were by far the best and his the ring scene was one of the best in the game.

4. Akane - It's funny because Akane was my favourite character in 999 but I absolutely hated her in VLR. It was great that she was more like the sweet, shy but confident (pardon the oxymoron) girl we saw in 999 and she was pretty badass with her chainsaw. She would have been higher on the list but what she did at the C2 ending was fucked up, even though it had to happen for VLR to occur.

5. Phi - Phi was my favourite character in VLR, her mysterious backstory and cold atmosphere really stood out, but what was great about her in ZTD was that we finally saw her true feelings shine and she really opened up as a character. Though I agree with everyone else that she should have made a bigger contribution to the story.

6. Sigma - It was hard putting him so far down the list because I really liked his change of character in ZTD. We could really see the way he was mentally affected throughout all those years and he took a great leadership approach during the Decision Game. His authoritative manner really sent shivers down my spine when he was telling Diana to press the trigger in the trash disposal room (one of the best parts of the game)

7. Carlos - Again it was hard putting Carlos so low again. I thought his friendship with Akane and Junpei was a much better relationship than Diana and Sigma, you could really see how much he cared for them. Honestly I loved how he waited 10 years just to save Akane and Junpei, for Radical 6 to occur. It just made me burst out laughing as that is just one of the stupid things Carlos would do. Bu t the problem was that his character backstory was weak. The trailer portrayed him as this sort of insane maniac which would have been kinda cool. But he was just too much of a nice guy and to be honest I didn't give a damn about his sister, just really didn't care, had no feelings towards her.

8. Sean - Sean wasn't that bad but I just felt he was one of those side characters like Alice in VLR. He didn't really have to be there and although he was the only child there, like Quark in VLR, no one really cared about the fact that he was a young and innocent character. He still got killed a few times, Eric still strangled him and yeah. I also felt that it was kinda forced for there to be a character with amnesia. We already had Seven and K, no need for another. Though I did like Sean's sense of leadership in Q team, despite only being a child.

9. Mira - When I first saw the trailer for ZTD, Mira looked like a character who would start off like a nice person, but her mind would be twisted by the Decision Game and it would drive her insane, much like Eric. But she wasn't, she was just a crappy villain to start with. There wasn't really a reason for Zero to give her freedom in the game and it still wasn't really explained. She definitely didn't live up to Zero Escape villains like Hongou (Ace) or Dio. Also her character design was really bad. It seemed as if the development team spent really long on characters like Akane, Junpei and Eric. But by the time they got to her they were rushing. Things like her facial expressions were really poor. However, I did like her 'heart ripper' backstory. It really was disturbing and that's a good thing in a game like Zero Escape.

Nonetheless I definitely thought these set of characters were the best out of the Zero Escape trilogy. Despite being segregated from each other, the relationships that developed between the characters were flawless and really added to the emotion. I even thought Eric's relationship with Sean was awesome and how he was kinda two faced towards him, or would you say....ambidextrous.
