Actually got all the way into the 5th Class trial intermission last night
Nagito did the old "detonate a real bomb to fool everyone into thinking your fake bombs are real" trick and then stabbed himself a bunch of times. Classic Nagito! Case closed, everyone else lives! Or maybe not because there was no cause of death in the Monokuma file. God damn it. --- http://card.psnprofiles.com/1/NIR_Hockey.png he/him/they/them ... Copied to Clipboard!

Case 5 is my favorite. Without going into details, everything about it is extra. Also, I like how in chapter 4 they introduce Sakura's suicide and the parallels between cases. Those two facts gave me a little hope that one of these cases might end without a death, seeing as game 1's case 5 technically had no execution. I'll just leave it at that. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Case 5 was devastating. I admit I went in not expecting who the killer was, and even entertaining the idea there wasn't one. But no, in reality this was all a set up for a heart breaking reveal and a tradegy. The shift in the case where everyone tries to figure out the trick, to despairing over the fire grenade reveal, to actually fighting back to defend the killer who actually revealed themselves is a great moment. This game has the benefit of using your knowledge of the last game to set things up, but putting that aside I like this moment after the trial. Game 1 trial 5 ended with friends coming together to fight the mastermind. Here? You have few clues and you've lost your best mystery solvers in one case. It's a stark difference. ...

I guess I'm in virtual reality? Future Foundation put me in there with the help of some old friends, and Ultimate Despair infected it with a virus? And I knew Nagito was connected to Junko!

I don't think this is a universal thing, but I love the twists in chapter 6. After every chapter framing this class as a group of kids who'd sacrifice and defend each other, you find out that they're all terrorist cultists. It's quite a departure from the last game. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'm glad hope won, I think. That Chiaki stuff was so sad, but nice. I thought it was funny how Junko was like "You can't just get the convenient miracle ending in this game!" and the game still did exactly that. Interesting subversion.

SydnieStarlight 10/23/23 8:37:27 AM #130: |
Yeah, the anime gets a lot of flak, and I won't say it's undeserved, but if you wanna see the DR story through to the end, you do kinda need it. There's the DR1 anime, which is literally just the first game but in anime form (so you can skip it if you want), and then DR3, which is the conclusion.
Just a note, DR3 is split into two separate arcs, Despair and Future, and it seems like the intended way to watch it is to alternate episodes. (So one episode from Future, one from Despair, etc.) I initially watched them separately (all of Despair, then all of Future), and then alternated on rewatches. Alternating lets you see some interesting parallels between the two arcs, but their respective stories are probably easier to follow if you binge Despair, then Future. Just...keep your expectations low. ...but before you do all that, I highly recommend Ultra Despair Girls. I do think the flak it receives is undeserved. It's totally different gameplay, but still interesting in its own right, and a look at another side of the DR universe. It's not strictly necessary, but it does answer some questions left behind by the first two games, and it gets a whole episode in the anime that you appreciate better after playing it~ --- Master Duel (373-244-752) | Star Rail (601319792) | FGO (960,463,298) Let's be friends~ ...

What's wrong with those things in Danganronpa?In text based games, I generally dislike voice acting in general. I prefer to just read whats going on. One-liners are fine, such as what Ace Attorney or Zelda does, but full sentences and stuff turn me off. Also the art style is wayyyyyy too anime for my liking.

I'll start by saying I'm not trying to change minds. It's just video game opinions.
But if Mikan didn't murder two people and give us a brief insight into what having your school memories back looks like, I'd have her even lower. They give her something to do with a couple autopsies, but all she does is cry and get used for super cringy fanservice. I get something in her life made her that way, but just not enough there. She's more of a character than Mahiru or Ibuki though. Mahiru briefly existed and then died and the game made it sound like she was such a big part of the group. She was... nice to Hiyoko? That's all she did. Ibuki was at least quirky. --- http://card.psnprofiles.com/1/NIR_Hockey.png he/him/they/them ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'll say that I probably put more stock in design when evaluating characters than most. Hajime aside, I think my top 5 (so top 4?) is easily the best character designs in the game, with Tsumiki being a clear winner. It's so sleek, it perfectly encapsulates her. Her skillset and also her clumsiness. I love the hair. She also by far has the best sprites in the game. It's perfection. But genuinely I think she's funny and interesting to listen to and her character dynamic with other people than Hiyoko, as little of it as there is is great. The Hiyoko thing is also funny. Hiyoko is funny. that's just a disrespected fact. I'm also a sucker for when characters actually use their talents in the game rather than it just being a backstory/personality thing, which happens way too rarely, but Tsumiki gets it on with that.
I'm not really a fan of the fanservice involving her. I don't hate it and think it diminishes anything, but it's not why I like her. But also yeah, nobody should feel a need to agree. I tend to have out there views on these things. I still haven't convinced anyone that Turnabout Big Top is a great case, even though it is. mario2000 posted...
