Since I brought it up as a flaw, I would like to make sure I acknowledge how excellent the music has gotten after episode 1.

I particularly want to bring attention to Dance of the Moon Rabbits, which is such a VERSATILE song, that works for basically all sudden high emotional moments, whether it be shock, joy, excitement, etc.

YES DANCE OF THE MOON RABBITS is MY FAV <3

It's very very very good!

Now that I have finished episode 4 it has absolutely been overtaken several times.

But it's still excellent!

Dance of the Moon Rabbits is great, I like it a lot. It's just hard to stand out in Umineko's ocean of top quality songs. Still would have voted for it in during the VGMusic Contest heydey when Umineko took over for a few years.

After the Chapter 4 Tea Party and ???, you technically have heard pretty much everything you need in order to solve the mystery.

Itd be ridiculously hard to figure out everything at that point, but it should be possible to come up with a few ideas or theories on what all has happened, why, and/or whats going on with Beatrice.

The first half of Episode 4 is the worst. The second half of Episode 4 is the best. They do such a good job of hyping you up into believing they might actually succeed this time and yank the rug out from under you right when it hurts the most.

"The Worst" is stretching it...I mean I get it, I was also, like, let's move this along a bit faster. Still, now that a I'm through it, I'm glad it was there.

Also, I'm avoiding spoiling as much as I can, but you seem in for the long haul, and considering I've seen you pop into like five threads to tell people to expect the worst from Tales of Zestiria's endgame, I'll make an exception.

Stop after Episode 7.

The reasons for the last third of Zesteria being a trainwreck are vast and complicated. It is not something that can be replicated by a visual novel, I believe, but I will see for myself!

A more apt comparison may be Danganronpa V3, where people are torn between the ending being an absolutely inexcusable travesty and complete genius, with me being in the latter camp.

yeah I think it's kinda lame to try and ruin someone's fun while they are enjoying something. my overall opinion on umineko is pretty ambivalent, but I'm not going out of my way to tell people to stop reading it either. it's also a series that leads to some great discussions. why mess with that?

It would depend on for what reason I would be expected to hate it.

If it's just tone or presentation stuff I really don't mind spoils there, lol. Just no actual plot. There is nothing that would make me bit complete it short of the game breaking, regardless.

I am a big fan of ridiculous dumb bullshit. Like the witches themselves, I just don't want to be bored. If it's an issue of a dull 6 hours of exposition, fuck that. If it's just REAL STUPID, I'm there.

Whether it's Dangan, Attorney, Zero Escape or otherwise, I have never once made even a passing attempt at solving the mystery in a game. Every critical moment in those games, and Umineko so far, is 100000% better because it's a total surprise to me. Sure, I could figure stuff out ahead of time, but then I would be significantly less impacted by those moments.

I gain no joy from having a plot suspicion proven right, and in fact quite often am dissapointed as a result, because "wow they couldn't come up with anything better than I could"?

This is of course going to vary from person to person, and I suppose meant feel the exact opposite. To me, I'm going to mirror Battler's stance: Fuck Ronald Knox.
