[@PurpleFury2375]

​@@Exel3nce Because it was a creative way to explore the minds. Not only that but the argment of it being senseless is a moot point. The human mind is very nonsensical at times. and besides the game told you that during the first one. Tbh i am hoping for more of them

I'm grateful I got to see even a few frames of his goofy ass green-visored face are you kidding me [Spoilers] Nah just kidding, I'm wondering how the hell he's here in the first place too, and not, y'know, in prison. But based on a lot of other things that the trailer shows, like Date still looking like he does, it seems to be implying that this is in a different timeline to the original game's true ending. I wonder if Renju is still around? So many questions. Can't wait to play the game to see the answers.

[@EnotekLyhtemid]

Around the time of the New Cyclops Serial Killings, in November 2019, Boss said that there are 6 psyncers, one of which is Date. But since Ryuki's side take place around 2020, there's a possibility that he is amongst the 5 unknown psyncers and that he, along with the others, were off the case (Probably because as Boss said, she put Date on it because he knew Shoko) or ABIS recruited him after the case closed.

The array and diversity of characters in this trailer really gives me vibes that this could be an approach to 999 or VLR robustness of narrative. I know it will be an awesome story, regardless. But a hearty VLR intricate narrative combined with the delicious AI style would be perfection

[@meleeroyfe3232]

This game’s gonna connect zero escape and AI I’m calling it now

[@valiantrangerproductions-r8460]

I saw the suits and yeah that definitely the VLR suits, but I wonder if that might be the "character model to hide a different spoilery character" outfit, like how marvel sometimes edits their trailers to take out surprise characters. Based on Ai1 being set in 2019, this would be in 2025, making it take place two years before 999. So theoretically it cooooooould be Akane... but I can't imagine this crew relating to Akane's goals at that point.

[@yashbhuiya7156]

They explain in the game why he looks that way, and I will say that it does seem to take place after the Final/"True" ending. Unless they throw me a curve ball mid way through the story or something. Honestly, they also probably did this since the voice actor for the original body is charged for a crime, so they just used an excuse to use the voice actor for Saito's body instead.

[@argan18]

@@yashbhuiya7156 That doesn't make sense. Voice actors arent their characters, they can easily be recast. I doubt the developers would go through the trouble for one VA, especially if it's one being localized in another language.
