![]() | On 30 July 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved from Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors to 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors. The result of the discussion was moved. |
A recent edit has been made to the page revealing the characters' true identities. Given the relatively recent (mid-November 2010) release of this game, and given the nature of this game (suspense/thriller mystery), it seems particularly ruinous to players' gameplay experiences to couple a spoiler-free plot synopsis with a spoiler-riddled character list. I think that the page should either be entirely spoiler-free or else entirely spoiler-laden. Trying to strike a middle balance ends up helping no one since it spoilers those who don't want to be spoilered (bad) and it provides minimal information to those seeking the maximum (also bad).
Might I suggest the person who made this edit at least consider adding a spoiler warning to the top of the Characters section? In fact, I think I will add it myself and I certainly hope that he or she will not object to this. 00:47, 11 December 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.223.107.176 ( talk)
PLEASE add SPOILERS to the characters section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.68.226.55 ( talk) 02:07, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
I'd love to, but it's against wikipedia's standards for some dumb reason.
Here's one thing I can do. I removed spoiler info from the Characters section, outside of the names (which I feel are important for people discussing the game and not particularly spoiler-rific) from the character section. I'll rewrite the pertinent information in the Plot section in an hour or two under a section entitled 'in-depth plot analysis' or something. —Preceding

I actually didn't do that one. It was someone else. All I really did was expand upon the spoilers, since they were there anyway, and add in the real names, which I feel are good for documentation and discussion purposes. But let's leave the 'spoiler warning' someone added up there... It's against wikipedia policies though, so it might get removed by someone other than myself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.255.198.238 ( talk) 18:20, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
Removed the spoiler warning. Against Wikipedia policy and utterly pointless on a wiki. If you don't want spoilers, don't read the plot or character sections, really simple as that. Also added more detail to the character portion which is completely riddled with problems due to people having such a huge problem with spoilers that they want to leave any important detail out, even when it would be an acceptable addition. Forgot to login at first. Ryokashi ( talk)

Alright. For as much as some of you refer to Wikipedia policy, some of you have apparently not read it.
Wikipedia is not the place for publishing full plot reveals of video games. If you want to rewrite an entire video game and publish a full list of plot details and spoilers, try an alternative outlet like GameFAQs. It's really as simple as that.
The old version was poorly written and had absolutely no references. Generally, any article of that length without citations is either completely false or original research, and either way that too is against wikipedia policy.
I edited the plot summary into a plot summary:
Everyone wins.

I don't think that the article should be titled as it is, but I can't decide whether I would prefer simply the subtitle used in all versions of the game or the new series brand for consistency with its sequel. Thoughts? - New Age Retro Hippie (talk) (contributions) 01:06, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
In the very end it says that Junpei recognized the hitchhiker as Alice and let her in the car, but I don't think that's correct. In the game it only stated that Junpei recognized the woman. They didn't say it was Alice and in my opinion it most likely wasn't. Her outfit was historically inaccurate, she was hitch hiking even though she is an ancient Egyptian and she some how defrosted even though they carried her through Egypt without incident. I understand if no one wants to use my reasoning because its really just my theory, but the article should reflect what truly happened in the game; that is having the hitchhiker be ambiguous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.219.218.129 ( talk) 14:11, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
I can't access the site at all except for the page title (couldn't last night, either), the page is not archived on the Wayback Machine, and I can't get it archived on either the Wayback Machine or WebCite. Does it work for anyone else? Famous Hobo?-- IDV talk 20:16, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

So obviously I'm still a bit preoccupied with the VLR FAC, but I came across this just now on the Zero Escape Wiki. Apparently Uchikoshi did an interview with Nintendo Power back in 2011, and it's got some great information. Unfortunately, while it does say it's from issue 267, it doesn't list the page numbers. So does anyone have a copy of that issue? Famous Hobo ( talk) 03:31, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

@ Alexandra IDV: Hi there! Long time no see. Hope your doing well. I've been messing around with music articles for the past few months, but I've always been interested in getting back to this article. Now I feel like I should stop procrastinating and begin working on this article again. Personally, I think it's in great shape and close to FA quality. I'm going to try and make a push for an FA nom in the next few weeks. Would you be interested in helping? Don't feel like you have to help, you've already done an absurd amount of work with this article and articles on the series as a whole. I'm just putting on some finishing touches, so to speak.

The updated version added voice acting and higher resolution graphics, but this version didn't get mentioned in the reception section. This could arguably be a problem for the article's GA status, as one of the criteria is that the article should address the main aspects of the topic. Two or three additional sentences should be enough to fix this issue.-- Megaman en m ( talk) 10:15, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
The first two sentences of the paragraph about Funyarinpa are unsourced. Since there was detailed coverage of the localization, a source probably would have commented on why the localizers decided to directly include a Japanese-esque nonsense word instead of making a new English-esque nonsense word or changing the joke altogether when the localization team was already replacing Japanese jokes with entirely new English jokes.
For the third sentence about Funyarinpa becoming a meme among English-speaking 9H9P9D fans, the RHS Arrow source only mentions Funyarinpa being a meme once in the text and uses a Funyarinpa joke one other time in the text, while the Gaming Trend (who are unreliable in WP:VG/S) source doesn't even talk about Funyarinpa being a meme, only using Funyarinpa for a pun in the title ("Funyarinpa for the whole family").

Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors → 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors – It's weird that this move has been allowed to stand for so long when the game is commonly known as "999". I disagree that excluding the 999 is the common name, especially since the game was inspired by a visual novel called "428", which is not simply known as "Shibuya Scramble". With reviews, the name is interchangeable, but the game itself uses the "999" title. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ) 19:58, 30 July 2023 (UTC)— Relisting. —usernamekiran (talk) 16:54, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
