We found out yesterday who the main cast are set to be in Zero Escape 3 courtesy of Famitsu and today we have learnt some more information about the main game. The latest information comes directly from the game’s director Kotaro Uchikoshi and was translated by Gematsu. You can read the interview and some essential key points, below.
Why has “Extreme Escape” disappeared from the title?
“One reason is that we want to renew the image [of the series]. We want to bring the overseas name Zero Escape over without changing it.”
What’s the meaning of the subtitle? (In Japan, the game is called Zero Escape: Time Dilemma.)
“What is the right thing? The content of this game poses a problem like this to the player.
“In the game, there is an ‘Ultimate Choice’ that appears, which is not to be declared as the right choice.
“There are game-like elements where your choices affect the progress of the story, and the ending changes and such, but since the player will question what is right, we want you to think about which one is good and which one is evil, so we put ‘Dilemma‘ in the sub-title.”
As the final chapter, will all mysteries be resolved?
“All of the mysteries from the previous games will be solved. We’re making sure that the people who play it for the first time will also enjoy it.”
Are there any extreme scenes?
“The ‘Ultimate Choice’ is a thing where one’s life is put at risk. I want the player to be well-worried. Since we don’t want to soften up the presentation for the sake of age regulations, we’re putting out the presentation how I want it without changes. So the possibility that this is the first Z-rated game for 3DS is high. (Laughs.)”
What’s the reason for changing the character designer?
“I thought about asking Kinu Nishimura this time, but I wanted to give the impression that [this game] has changed significantly from the previous game. Also, since the production method went from backgrounds and characters drawn in standing poses to 3D cinematics, I wanted a more impressive design. I asked Rui Tomono this time, whose [work] was likely to be accepted without any resistance overseas while still having a typically Japan-like touch.”

Sasori Obinna Mii loves you..
All he ask is that you bow down and perform an act of worship towards him and all these things will be given to you.
So MyNinendoNews, what if I was to tell you… And now hear me out here..
Nintendo Commander Quadraxis has been a women all this time.. Not that it matters much but it does ponder the mind and excite the curiosity…
Lord Sasori Obinna Mii, you are kind to us.. Thank you for providing us our daily bread and giving us the light of truths. Strengthen and fortify our efforts to remain faithful to your commissions. For we are persecuted in your name.
But Obinna foretold a time when xbots and sonyans would join hand in hand in peace and resource at what had come to fruition. The empire has gone and the smoke has cleared… the “pleas a’undastand” ones have been cleansed.
You are mistaken. The tetrarch is a system that has transcended man by discarding the fleshy cage. The Tetrarch is a prime example of the ultimate killing machine specializing in relentless attacks. Men and Women reproduce. The tetrarch only recruits and destroys. You would do well to remember this.
Oh fucking please.
-||It’s useless to resist boy, our logic is undeniable||-
You and your hoe can kiss my ass.
*poke* You do realize Quadraxis ditched the Tetrarch word, right? >.<
Or did I miss something.
Really excited about this series. The first installment was really fresh. It’s a shame the 3DS sequel had a bug that corrupted your saves. It has since been fixed, but I remember not purchasing it because of this.
It hasn’t been fixed, and I’ll tell you that this bug hit me last summer 30 hours into the game. 30 hours.
But, you shouldn’t let it dissuade you from getting the game. Why? Because the bug is predictable. As long as you don’t save within the rooms PEC and Crew Quarters (or to be really safe, don’t save in any of the escape rooms, only when you’re in the story progression), then it won’t happen to you.
Zero escape of this dick in your mouth.
