But then it would seem the actual DCIII is basically just Zero, since the Kazami part is just a prologue, and doesn't even have routes (I'm guessing here that DCZ would have had the Kazamidori part, and DCIII the Kazami part, but in a more conventional way). Do you have some idea/guess what else DCIII would have had, and what could be of it? A DCIV with these heroines doesn't make much sense for me; maybe something like DC3.5, kinda like Spring Celebration?

(Will reply in the clear because I'll only talk in generalities.)

I suspect that D.C. III would have been an entirely different game with an entirely different cast, and that what we got here is basically what D.C. Zero would have been -- perhaps without the prologue that was designed to sort of throw people off the scent for a while and play into the overall plot. I think they basically just changed Zero to III for marketing reasons (since the originally-planned III was canned for whatever reason).

Of course, though, there will no doubt be fandisks, and I suppose they do have some options.

Spoiler for Fandisk ideas, related to D.C. III plot structure:

It could be interesting (but also weird) to do one fandisk as an extension of the prologue timeline, and a second fandisk as an extension of the main (1950) timeline. So many options!
