Got the two main endings in 999. Definitely enjoying it. I had not played it since the DS, so it was fun to revisit. And I can see all the hints to the twists. I really like the dub. Everyone did a really good job, even Wendee Lee who phoned in her first trip as Clover. Junpei's actor, same as in ZTD, is a definite favorite, as is Ace who has Batou's voice from Ghost in the Shell.
I played through almost the entire game in Adv mode. Any direction given by Novel mode I could discern from the dialogue. The only thing you really miss is the description of corpses. Those were fantastically gruesome and worth checking out.
However, the [tornado fang]'d up the final puzzle.
[spoiler]I'm actually fine with getting rid of the sudoku. It's pretty dated at this point. And without two screens to flip upside down it wouldn't have worked anyway. But its replacement is just garbage. There is a puzzle there that could be interesting, but if you do the spelling game tacked on to it, it gives you the answer with no effort. It's insultingly easy. But then they put an extra little bit at the end.
I thought it was a bit obtuse.[/spoiler]
