I got the game for free on PS+ for my Vita, and I tried it out on a whim. I haven't been that gripped by a story, let alone a hand-held, in ages. I haven't really followed this thread, but I've been meaning to.
Now I feel kind of bad getting it for free. Wish I knew some way to support the series...

The lack of puzzles is disappointing, but $5 is $5. Maybe if it does well, the 3rd games can still be made.
Kotaro Uchikoshi is working on a different title
.
This is good. Should it get localized and perform well, ZE 3 will become all the more likely to get green-lit.
Since the puzzles are gone, I guess they'll get a gloss over in the narration and the questions that set the proper flags will still be asked. I'd actually like a puzzle-less 999 and Zero Escape a little more - they feel so convoluted at times that they're the only thing holding me back from finishing the sequel.

Finished the game yesterday. It was actually not as good as 999, but still really great. The new AB Game system is interesting, although it makes the game a little bit harder to follow. In 999, I always where everyone is and what they are doing because I know their numbers and can do digital roots, while in this one, not only I don't know this color system, their colors is always changing and I can't memorize that all.
My main complaint is that the ending is such a horrible cliffhanger. I'm also kinda heartbroken about how Junpei and June turned out be in the end. She is now completely emotionless and he no longer wants anything because of that. It gets worse when you realise that she was already like that in the previous game and was faking her emotion through it all.
But I really loved how Akane was Miyuki Sawashiro. That was the best thing in the game, actually. June gets even waifuer.
Also, I don't know where is K now? I thought Sigma's mind was swapped with K, so he would be on Kyle's body while K would be the one doing the mission, but it turns that was the player. Following the "mind swapping" logic, that would mean K is in the player, meaning the one typing this now is K, and as everyone else in this thread already played the game you are all K as well. Damn Uchikoshi tricked us into a Assimilation Plot. But, seriously, the one doing the mission is Sigma or K?

Found the link to it.

I'm glad to see that he isn't giving up.
I have a message from another time...
