My pet peeve with the fandom is how wide-spread is the idea that Tenko is actually this competent fighter alongside the other combat oriented ultimates. Completely misses the nuance that she:
>practices Aikido, the most popular fake martial art
>practices an even faker version of this fake martial art
>how this relates with the larger themes of the game
Tenko is gap moe, not strong woman.

If you're not retarded you figure that out in the first 5 minutes anyway. There are a couple of other twists, but overall I don't think the game is worth playing in general. The series peaked with the first game.

If someone’s 2x2 prediction has both Gundam and Peko as part of the survivors you instantly know you’re dealing with the most retarded type of fan imaginable. Bonus points if they also include one of the more obviously popular characters like Nagito, Chiaki, or Mikan, or they have Teruteru dying in chapter 1 again.
Yes, little Timmy, I’m sure Sonia WILL kill Kazuichi this time around, making for the most obvious fucking solution to a trial ever. You’re so smart.
These people are incapable of conceiving of anything shocking or unexpected happening in this fucking mystery game. All they can think of is le epic parallels with original survivors and their favorite precious little scrimblo finally getting a chance to live to the end. Get real.
>>
>>
>>737127701
I mean, I'm pretty sure V3's case 3 was a double murder just because people didn't expect for it to happen AGAIN.
Teruteru dying again doesn't sound too crazy to me considering he is wildly unpopular and doesn't have any fans.
>>
I don’t understand why people think we’re gonna switch protagonists.
It’s one thing to create a new divergent story, but the entire setting is not going to change. It’s still going to be the be the neo world thing. How do you sell that final dilemma if you remove Hinata from the equation?
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>737127849
I’m not saying Teruteru won’t die now. I’m just saying it’s stupid that people think he’ll die first again because he’s annoying as if annoying characters don’t consistently make it into the late game all the time.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>737128542
I can see that happening too. It’s only when I see it in combination with a bunch of other stuff that it starts getting on my nerves.
Like yeah I’m sure all your favorites will live to the end and all your least favorites will immediately die and the game will be the comfiest more frictionless killing game ever. That’s such a realistic prediction.

I don’t think he’s a detriment to anything. Akane sucks whether Nagito takes center stage or not
Jokes aside though I do wonder why they include these retard characters. I get there’s some gameplay utility with someone being dumb, but Akane, Gonta and to a lesser extent Yasuhiro are just awful. Their retarded tangents add nothing 9 out of 10 times and it’s almost impossible to take them seriously as characters when they seem to have the awareness of a stunted child.

It's kinda crazy how if Nagito wasn't in SR2, everyone would consider it to be the weakest game if the trilogy.
I'm glad he exists mind you, but there would be no conflict without him and nobody to progress the plot forward.

The craziest shit ever is that in an alternate universe Akane was the game's Nagito.
She was the one behind 2-5.
She possibly became one of the most popular characters in the series for being an evil hot girl.
>>
>>
>>737131532
I said it was him to a lesser extent yknow. He’s like the border, any dumber than him and your character gets really obnoxious. You know Soda is kinda like him, a little smarter, but serves the same kind of role, and he’s fine. But Akane is dumber and she’s awful and Gonta is even dumber and is a disaster (not helped by the translation making him a literal caveman)

I don’t mind talking about flaws but I don’t think most of the stuff people commonly bring up is valid lol
My main gripes with 2:
>Hinata’s fixation on Chiaki seems unearned, you sort of work together on one case and exchange two (admittedly heartfelt) lines in front of that death door and suddenly Hinata can think of nobody else? I didn’t feel that strongly about her and didn’t see anything that would justify Hinata’s feelings, so his final thoughts being on her felt unearned
>the dilemma of the final case gets resolved in a pretty asspull way, which is extra frustrating because it is probably the best dilemma in the series

>>737131985
except anyone above 80 IQ knows that the only reason the characters are said to be alive at the end is that they will end up fine, otherwise they'd be declared dead instead. i'm pretty sure it's even confirmed in the shitty anime, not that you'd need the confirmation because it's obvious

>>737131990
Maybe if Fuyuhiko dies early enough they’ll be able to write her new freetime events with that in mind and take it in a romantic direction. If he lives any later than chapter 2 it’s probably impossible.

I played 1 when it was just a PSP fantranslation and it was so bad I almost dropped the series there.

>>
>>737132026
Yeah I'd agree with this too, DR2 is the Nagito show but if he didn't exist there'd be somewhere else to fill his role.
Chiaki in general is just kinda in the background so unless you do her free time events it's kinda forced, and It is a shame how the entire premise of the climax is done by "Hajime goes super saiyan blanco and yells hopes a million times"
Hajime in general feels like an character that didn't earn a single thing.
>>
>>737132218
Togami is based
Aoi is cute and nice and has big boobs
Fukawa is alright
Yasuhiro is whatever
Weakest survivors are in 2 which pains me to say cuz Fuyuhiko is one of my absolute favourites. Akane is awful, Soda is whatever, Sonia is barely better.

dr2 is weird because it has the worst cast but the best trials, so while im not emotionally invested I still had fun figuring everything out. Its the opposite of dr1 where most of the cast is likable but the trials are dogshit easy
>>
>>
>>737132108
You can infer they’ll be ok eventually but there’s no way of knowing how long it will take and they’ll still be completely fucked up even if they do wake up. It matters because the survivors now carry an immense burden for the sake of their friends and even the victims will have to live with the consequences of the simulation and their past actions for the rest of their lives.
>>
>>737132431
I will always defend gravel swimsuit. Aside from being a common mystery trick, the first game had a murder weapon which was a bundle of arrows taped together. “Bunch of small shit packed together to whack someone over the head” is not a new or unreasonable concept
>>
>>737132218
2's cast is complete fucking garbage man. Half of them are extremely forgettable and not even mildly important. THH's were at least somewhat likable and V3 dogwalks 2's cast so badly it's a little comical

>The tonal dissonance of the tropical island setting
This presupposes that DR2 has a somber/sinister tone to counteract the tropical setting which it doesn't, DR2's tone is fucking garbage KEK it doesn't even take seriously even slightly.
DR1 mogs so hard with its claustrophobic atmosphere conveyed both through the story and the setting it isn't even funny.

V3 ending schizo theory that's been in my head since I finally played it last month:
>Takes place in the same universe as 1 and 2
>The cast are actually Class 79, the class that was supposed to come after Makoto's but didn't because of the tragedy
>Talents were suppressed by the Future Foundation to protect them but they were found and kidnapped anyways
>They weren't brainwashed with new personalities but just had their talents reawakened because artificially inducing talents without a lobotomy is NEVER shown to be possible
>Game all takes place in a virtual world that basically serves as an underground red room/ snuff show with tech reverse engineered from the neo world program
>Tsumugi was brainwashed into being the Mastermind
I will not be qualifying any of these assertions
>>
>>
>>
>>737132958
I honestly don’t see that one as often, at least in combination with a lot of other common predictions. The whole reason I wrote that is because I saw someone’s prediction with Nagito Mikan Peko and Gundam as survivors so they were on my mind at the time.

It's actually insane amounts of ludokino because replaying the prologue with the context of the game reveals that Tsumugi is literally just lying her ass off about everything. The game doesn't hold your hand and will let you come to the totally wrong conclusion by just accepting the ending at face value
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>737121647
Ignoring the fact that the twist in a vacuum is already poor enough, it's also terribly executed, V3-6 is one the most bloated piece of shit case in the franchise bar none, the trial alone is like five hours long kek
Tsumugi placed last in V3's first popularity poll and she's the frucking mastermind, V3's last third is best treated as non-canon and then V3 is a pretty good game

The other two games have better tutorial cases so that's no excuse.
V3-3 may be have been retarded but it was a good case, 2-3 was nowhere near as bad as 1-3 since at least the culprit wasn't bafflingly obvious and didn't rely on Hifumi going along the shadiest murder plan ever that is full of holes for the dumbest reason(and wanting a vampire harem manages to be as retarded as the despair disease)
1-4 was fucking dogshit and ruins Aoi, and afterwards everyone forgives her for actively trying to get the entire cast killed over hurt feelings
Weedman is fucking dogshit, not even Akane hijacked a trial with her retardation as hard as him.
DR1 does NOT have the best case quality on average, you just played it when you were young and retarded.

Guys I’m getting delusional, I’m thinking the divergent story is gonna be full on DR4. It’s gonna be something totally new that actually drives the overarching story forward beyond just being 2 with new survivors. It’s gonna pick up the stuff from V3 and include some meta commentary about the cannibalism of franchise remakes.
