A few grievances I had with the VN. The endings were too weird and it felt like they were just trying too hard to play on expectations like Schrödingers Motorcycle suit that never went anywhere meaningful. I genuinely want to see the anime fix or expand on S;G0 since I think as a concept its really cool. A part of me thinks maybe S;G0 should've stayed a paperback novel.

Here's some more plot holes for your amusement.
In Vega and Altair, Kagari does the Hotline Miami special on the military to protect Mayuri/Suzuha and dies in the process. After that, Okarin time-leaps into the past, all the drama happens and Kagari is killed by Moeka. Military doesn't die afterwards for some reason despite convergence. Why?
In Twin Automata, Leskinen gets killed by Reyes. He's supposed to indoctrinate Kagari in the future, so how does that happen? Convergence should make him live.
Kagari dies in Vega and Altair but gets saved in Promised Rinascimento and Milky-Way Crossing. How the hell did Okarin get in a Milky-Way Crossing world line? That was never explained. And for that matter, what the hell was that entire route for? Let's save Kagari and D-Rine to the world line where she's dead?
Okabe ignores approaching threat of WW3 for years up until it starts in some routes. Suzuha doesn't confront him with it either and only puts him at gunpoint when there's no way to delay things further. And then she BACKS OFF after Daru gets involved.

It's a small distraction that lasts around 2 hours and is moderately entertaining if you like Chaos;Head and old 8 bit text adventures. It's non-canon and doesn't add anything to the story except reminding people that Takumi is still around. If you've got a thirst for more S;G then it surely won't hurt to go through it, though its not something I would say is mandatory. However if you decide to play it then I would advise using a guide since I can't imagine how much of a pain in the ass it would be without one. Because you control Okabe through text commands and not all commands are listed for you, however its always a fun thing when you type "Kiss X"/"Hug X" and see their reactions.

Though now when I review it, the Mayuri's long black-haired friend looks suspiciously similar to the new redhead. Same height, same hairstyle, same reactions. Is black hair a clone? With hair dye and colored contacts?
And the "Caucasian man" that Moeka mentioned was with the "other all-male search group" is Maho's professor, Gaijin Guy? He looked distraught at not seeing the mikos (New Redhead was a mike) and Lady was staring at the New Redhead. So Gaijin Guy disabled Maho's access to her computer later, and then went uncontactable?

Even though he broke the lightsaber and the liquid inside looks like blood, there wasn't enough to parallel his memory of the event. He's the one that got stabbed by Kurisu's dad. After Kurisu wakes up from being knocked out she tells him she's going to look for help. While she was gone, Suzuha heads down to the floor Okabe's on and drags him into the time machine. While in transit, the world line changes and he finds himself at the lab. He doesn't remember it entirely, but he was hospitalized for a month for the stab wound. That's when he figures out what had happened and runs into Kurisu on the streets.
Where the time machine comes from isn't answered immediately but its probably implied to be made later on in order to complete the cycle.

That explanation means, as it should, the worldline where Kurisu is saved is Steins;Gate. But that makes things fall apart. A timeline of events can make this clear.
#1 Okabe gets inspired to try again and gets into the time machine and goes back to the day Kurisu is killed. For all intents and purposes, this is "Travelling to Steins;Gate" because that worldline, since Okabe is successful, is the worldline where WWIII never happens and both Mayuri and Kurisu live. So right in that moment, the S;G world line has 2 Okabes. The Okabe that's trying to save Kurisu, and the Okabe that's attending the presentation
#2: Okabe gets stabbed, Dr. Nakabachi runs off with a theory that's doomed to burn in the fire, and Okabe makes a convincing illusion of Kurisu's death.
#3: The Okabe that got stabbed is taken by Suzuha into the time machine. This means he is moving FROM Steins;Gate TO somewhere else.
#4: The Native Okabe runs upstairs and sees Kurisu's "corpse" and runs out to make the D-Mail that doesn't matter for some reason. He is still in Steins;Gate
#5: The Stabbed Okabe somehow is in S;G again.
It is important that Okabe be attending the presentation and panicking when he see's Kurisu, AND it's also important that Okabe simultaneously be protecting Kurisu from being killed. The Steins;Gate world line requires two Okabes in order to be logically consistent. However, there aren't two Okabes in S;G, just the one who got stabbed. That's why I said that one okabe just vanishes for being inconvenient to the plot.

The thing that's weird about it is until that point in the story stable time loops and such didn't matter because the time travel was all mental. However this is also the first time a physical time machine you actually get in is used meaning your physical body is actually going to a different reality instead of your consciousness. Why you don't pop out of existence the second you change something...no idea.

But what if you consider that Kurisu was still alive when Okabe originally sees her "Death" and even so he sends the D-mail, even though he would already on the process of going to Steins;Gate at that point at the very start. In fact, doesn't Kurisu react to Okabe at the very beginning (the prologue) because she has already interacted with end game Okabe? I really don't remember so I might be mistaken.. If she does, then he doesn't pop out of existence because from the very start he was supposed to be there. Same goes for Suzuha since her time travelling is required to have occurred for Okabe to fake Kurisu's death.
In this case the D-Mail matters because Native Okabe HAS to send the D-mail, going through the events of the game and becoming both Houoin Kyouma and Punished Okabe (to supply both Suzuha, his pep talk video and the time machine) SO he can then fake her death and, by having his own native Okabe witness it, send himself in the journey to become him to complete the loop. Then, as Native Okabe enters the loop, Stabbed Okabe comes out into S;G.

Your way of thinking is a too simple. The thing is that the whole Steins;Gate is basically a big time loop that HAS TO happen in order for Okabe to end up in the Steins;Gate worldline.
So the general it goes like this:
1. Beta worldline Okabe, who just killed Kurisu in the Beta worldline tries again after a motivational message from his future self who came from the ending of Steins;Gate 0
2. This time Beta Okabe is successful in his quest and saves Kurisu while making it look like she died.
3. Kurisu seemingly being dead causes the original Alpha Okabe to send the first D-Mail, which activates the first instance of Reading Steiner and him changing to Beta worldline. This HAS TO happen for him to fall in love with Kurisu and end up trying to save her.
4. After the mission is succesfull, Beta Okabe returns with Suzuha to what i assume would be the Beta wordline. However, since the past has been changed so that Kurisu lives and WW3 doesn't happen, it causes another (final) wordline shift / Reading Steiner with which Beta Okabe finds himself in the Steins;Gate.
The thing is, a version of Okabe always exists in the Steins;Gate worldline. It' just that when Reading Steiner happens, Okabe's mind is replaced with the one who changed the worldlines. That is the way how the time-traveling Okabe ends up in Steins;Gate.
I hope my autistic post makes some sense because this ended up being longer than I expected.

I see what you're saying, that's probably closer to what the writers intended. However, your post has made me notice a different plot hole.
World line travel with Okabe's Reading Steiner is basically mind hopping. Okabe leaves his current body and jumps into the Okabe of a completely different world line. The Okabe of the new world line could be in a completely different position and situation as the Okabe of the old world line.
However, the physical time machine, actually transports your body at the present, to the past on the same world line. (Or to the future if it was completed) Your past self is still in the past, and he's doing what you did at that time. But now you're running around too.
After Okabe got stabbed, Suzuha put him into the time machine to take him back to the future where he had left off. However, before they got there, Reading Steiner activated and send Okabe to Steins;Gate.
That WOULD make complete sense. However, if that was the case, why did Okabe have a stab wound in Steins;Gate? Reading Steiner works by mind hopping. Unless Steins;Gate Okabe already had a stab wound, Okabe should have been fine. Only the physical time machine works by transporting your body.

This is the only plothole in Steins;Gate as far as I'm aware.
No.835780

I suppose the only explanation other than "plot hole" would be:
After Suzuha takes stabbed Okabe into the time machine, there's a minor problem with causality as the Time Machine's destination in the future can't exist due to Kurisu being alive which causes the world line shift.
In the chain of events that leads to Steins;Gate Okabe and Mayuri go to the conference, and through some strange chain of coincidences, Okabe draws a plastic Upa and ends up upstairs alone with Kurisu in a closet for some reason. Then he saves Kurisu and gets stabbed, then she's knocked out and Dr. Nakabachi runs off with the paper and the plastic Upa. That explains the stab wound that's in the same spot, and it also explains why Kurisu can remember being saved, and it explains why the other Okabe's D-Mail doesn't matter because he never made it.
No.835784
>>835356
It's already established in the series that time leaping works by removing (you) from your current world line and putting you back in time where you were before. So after Okabe sent his D-Mail alerting the Echelon and putting himself on Alpha attractor field, the world line continued on without him. There was no Okabe in Steins Gate timeline past the point of where he went to Alpha attractor field. So it works like this:
>Okabe finds a dead-looking Kurisu. Goes back and sends a D-Mail on the way. Gets to Alpha attractor field because of Echelon finding out about his D-Mail. After he leaves, world line readjusts itself like in the Deja Vu movie, making it look like he was never there.
>Hououin Kyouma makes Super Hacker delete all traces of his message from Echelon, absolutely removing it. This sets him to a Beta attractor field with WW3.
>Suzuha makes Okabe get in the robot-looking time machine. He kills Kurisu, transforms into a Punished Okabe and gets PTSD.
>Punished Okabe sends a D-VideoMail to himself in the past. Okabe goes in to save Kurisu.
>Okabe saves Kurisu by threatening her father with a knife. He leaves a pool of his own blood and his fingerprints on a knife as evidence; he isn't prosecuted, however, as Okabe will leave that time period - everyone forgets about him until he arrives in the future.
>Past Okabe number 2 finds a dead-looking Kurisu. Goes back and sends a D-Mail on the way. However, this time he goes to Alpha attractor field because of convergence, since Kurisu is alive.
>Okabe returns and is hospitalized, happy ending and the series ends, but only after the movie.

It's decent. The plot is pretty similar to the original series, but this time Kurisu's doing the time leaping because Okabe's memories are still traumatizing him and Reading Steiner starts kicking him between worldlines. It doesn't entirely jive with the established time travel mechanics, but it's worth watching.

In case you hadn't noticed, VN required reaching two endings in particular order to get true end, and what more, those endings are on opposite sides of Kagari persona. The only way anime can pull off decent VN adaptation is by doing at least part of every single route, which is what it has been doing. I still wonder how they can to handle duality of Kagari required for good ending. Likely that they leave Fake [REDACTED] out.

The sad thing is you're probably right. I have no idea how they'd handle that other than to leave it out, even if it's incredibly destructive to other plot lines. Funny that I thought Recursive Mother Goose would work well as a self-contained episode but the little things screw it all up in the end. I almost think they're going to just ignore the plotholes the anime introduces by changing how it weaves through the plot, like they figure anyone autistic enough to piece the flaws together would've read the VN first anyway.
No.838792
So someone please inform me about this, because it's bothering me so much. Pic related is one of the biggest things I've seen in all of Steins;Gate 0 media and now that I played through the VN it seems that it was just an artwork, nothing more. It annoys the fuck out of me since I was very excited for the context surrounding something so huge, especially with what seems like a crashed time machine on top of Amadeus.
Was this supposed to be in the VN but cut for whatever reason or is it seriously just a random piece of cool looking art? In any case, I'm quite disappointed.
Also did anyone else have the feeling of the VN skipping over a lot of important details and thus being a bit too short and full of plotholes? Luckily it seems like the anime is going to fix at least some of the problems, which is nice.

S;G 0 was supposed to be this Light Novel that is this fanservice sequel nobody needed. But they saw the potential for making more money with a VN and the anime adaption. So it sure feels like this side project alongside the real projects like Chaos;Child/Occultic;Notes. It's a shame because they have some cool ideas and the potential horror of what could happen if an AI was too human was there as well.
I was quite entertained at the complete discomfort when Okabe was super close to saying "I love you" to Amadeus in the park but it never went any further with it. All in all it feels like they started out with passion but then they just kinda wanted to end it as quickly as possible.
