Need to get axe + knife ending I know I left the worse for last =P. So many theories on the game, due to the author leaving lots of "plot holes" for players themselves to fill I think this is clearly one of if not the best DS game this year. I haven't gotten around to playing Golden Sun yet, and I'm sorry to say I couldn't find this on the shelf at a local Bestbuy or Futureshop. If your looking to find it I think EB/Gamestop would be your best bet. | ||

and to paraphrase what another netizen has said about this game: DONT READ IF YOU HAVENT BEATEN IT ON THE BEST ENDING (or even if your not sure) + Show Spoiler + I've never felt so epic doing sudoku in my life. oh and i dont think it should be compared to golden sun. Those two games are apples and oranges. Golden sun has a strong foundation of gameplay, complicated premise, traditional RPG, magic and an alright story to match, it has bossfights and orgasmic summon animations. 999 has a out of the world storyline with good pacing, a simple premise, a cast of very diverse and memorable characters, has zero gameplay outside of point and click escape room puzzles, no boss fights, and copious amounts of reading. It is closer to an interactive graphic novel than it is to a game. One is a book and the other is an old school RPG, you would never dream of comparing either of those with starcraft. I dont think comparing those two just because they are both on the DS is a legitimate comparison. ==== Edit: Very very very Mild Spoiler (nothing about the plot) regarding ending choices: and to those who plan to pick up the game, the game REQUIRES a minimum of two play-throughs to get the best ending possible. Endings are decided by what doors you choose at each point in the game. The best possible ending cannot be obtained until you the opposite of every door you would choose in the good ending. Yeah, sometimes theres 3 doors to choose from so "opposite" would have to be at your own best(or worst) judgment. It might sound confusing but your choices will be legitimately justified and rewarded :D. Saying anymore and I will be stepping into deep spoiler territory. | ||

And I wasn't trying to directly compare to it to Golden Sun 3 knowing the completely different elements of both games, but I mean, a LOT of people are going for GS3 over 999 due to it being exactly as you stated, oldschool. I mean if this came out @ a different time, I'm pretty sure this could've done better (aka like 2 weeks after golden sun cause that game is easy as hell as I've been told) | ||

+ Show Spoiler + From left to right: Endings 3+5+6 (axe/knife/submarine) should be done before ending 4 (safe), and finally ending 1 (true end). Ending 2 is a dud end, being a cutoff version of the true end; never aim for this ending. | ||

The game's design team was led by Kotaro Uchikoshi, who was also the writer of the acclaimed visual novel Ever 17: The Out of Infinity. Grab both. Preview of Opening Scene + Show Spoiler + The story starts off with Junpei waking up in a ship, with no memory as to how he arrived there. On his wrist lies a bracelet with a single digit, "5", and on the door blocking his escape lies the same number. Suddenly, the window of his room breaks open, and water begins to flood the room.

+ Show Spoiler + The very end of the game, when he says he will solve this one with his own mind and you have to flip the ds over and then you realize WHY it makes sense and the implication... one of my favorite gaming moments ever, for sure - conveyed the message far better than any text exposition ever could | ||
