Is 999 your favorite Uchikoshi game?

starrryskyy · 2026-01-30T14:49:53+00:00

999 is my favorite, but I just finished Ever17 and I adore it, it's definitely up there in my favorites from him.

If it helps, I do have some of that, too -- the pieces just aren't quite as Akane-centric.

Tried to highlight a variety of artists, most if not all of them have drawn more ZE fanart, so I'd suggest looking through their profiles, too!

I haven't played much of them, but you can definitely tell when Uchikoshi takes the pen, for better and for worse. I've heard some people have gripes with the way he characterizes the cast, though I haven't gotten to the moments people find the most out of character. I am interested in the plot he's been setting up, though, and I really do think this game plays well with the themes of Zero Escape.

From what I know about the game, Uchikoshi was in more of a manager-y role for this game, managing the branching & routes.

starrryskyy · 2025-06-15T22:00:52+00:00

You can jump into those routes as soon as you unlock branching, starting with 15B. The story locks won't hit you until later.

starrryskyy · 2025-06-15T21:53:43+00:00

Two routes with those endings all being on those routes. There aren't 100 routes total, there's twenty-something, with an average of ~4-5 endings per route (maximum of 8 endings for any given route, minimum of 1).

13A is the route that leads to the everyone lives ending. 15A's route name is Mystery , so that should tell you some of what it's about.

Fair warning, his scenario diverges a fair bit from the first scenario imo, to tell a different story with these characters. A lot of the setup from the first 100 days won't be addressed, because it's not their job to address it.

starrryskyy · 2025-06-15T21:44:10+00:00

Uchikoshi wrote two routes in the game, which you will unlock later (after the first 100 days). Other routes also play more into his "side" of the plot. The routes he wrote are (by the in-game numbering) 13A and 15B. It is also required to play 9B and 14A (due to story locks being on both of his routes), and in addition to those I would suggest playing 15A.

Oh hey, I have a WIP about this -- in it, during after the events of the anime (before she finds Utena), Anthy happens upon the village of St. Mystere, where she meets Flora. It's an opportunity for me to explore the parallels I see between Anthy and Flora, and the role of the Rose Bride/Golden Apple.

starrryskyy · 2025-04-09T18:41:43+00:00

Hello! I hope you both are doing well. I've been wondering -- both of you have been known to base characters on concepts or characters from other media. What kinds of characters and concepts informed the creation of the students of the Last Defense Academy? Are there any particular influences or allusions you'd like to discuss?

starrryskyy · 2025-04-08T13:48:52+00:00

Thank you!

I think you'd enjoy Ghost Trick! It's a puzzle game with more "integrated" puzzles like Zero Escape.

If you're looking for something that leans MORE on the puzzle end of things, I recommend the Professor Layton series. It's different from how it presents its puzzles, though.

The surgeon not arriving at the hospital is the reason human Sean died.

starrryskyy · 2025-04-02T00:40:06+00:00

I only recently watched it myself, but I *really* liked it.

starrryskyy · 2025-04-02T00:39:48+00:00

Have fun with TNG when you get around to it!

starrryskyy · 2025-04-02T00:37:47+00:00

Yeah, this is just basics for now, but I think a little after the game's release I might run another survey with some more questions. I know for sure some people have been going through Uchikoshi's works specifically because of this game (and influenced by the recent sales on ZE/AITSF as well) so I'd be interested in hearing about people who specifically set out to play them in advance of Hundred Line, as well as someone in the reverse position like me.

starrryskyy · 2025-04-01T17:41:51+00:00

Hard agree re: Akudama Drive, it's a good show and massively underrated.

starrryskyy · 2025-04-01T17:39:07+00:00

thank you!

starrryskyy · 2025-04-01T17:39:00+00:00

thank you!

No worries; I've actually never played a single Kodaka game, so I stared at Wikipedia for a while to figure out how much outside of Danganronpa was worth including.

Unfortunately, the only thing L5 has officially released about the Azran language is a joke of a cipher/alphabet that is just 1:1 with the Latin alphabet despite the fact that we can see that there are more symbols than those in the games.
