The visual novels that are LPed have interactive elements. That is to say, they have choices the player can make, resulting in a different experience. Umineko does not have any interactive elements until the last episode and even then they're very minor.

You'd be better off making a list of people Kinzo doesn't hate. Evidence so far suggests it's rather short.

At least 3/4 of Umineko is built around people having arguments. The other 1/4 is Kinzo

Jeek posted:By the way, is the epitaph only solvable in the original Japanese text? I'd say that the riddle requires knowledge of Japanese and English. I know the solution, but only because they eventually tell you how to solve the Riddle because I'm terrible. I will say this, by Episode 4 the story gives you everything you need to solve it. (This applies to every mystery in Umineko, by the way  )

Shiny777 posted:It means they were all way off when they were speculating about the beloved hometown from the epitaph a little while back. Kinzo's branch of the family was actually living somewhere way the hell over in Georgia back in the day. Suddenly Battler flirting with his cousin makes sense.

If you open a file called ons.cfg in the folder the game is in, you can make the game any window size you want by putting in "window-width=" and the resolution you desire. The game will automatically scale up. The small resolution assets you see in most of them is primarily due to them being amateur works.

Kytrarewn posted:I managed to get at least one of the deaths ruined for me (Shortly before this LP was started) by looking at shocking scenes from a different VN and a different anime series on youtube and getting drawn into watching some compilations. I wouldn't really say they were "ruined" for you. The fact that people die isn't a spoiler. This is a Murder Mystery, after all. The real question is, who how and why did the people die horribly? A witch kills them.

Welcome to Rokkenjima. Population: Goldenslaughterer is a fantastic tune, and really sets the tone for the rest of the episode. Everything so far has been mostly atmospheric or happy. Then all of a sudden this harsh, overwhelming song slams into you just as they describe some horrifically brutal murders.

Well, according to the Epitaph, one of the rewards for completing it is "the resurrection of the souls of all the dead." Of course, it's kind of hard to revive someone who's head has been smashed in. It could just be flavor, or maybe what it means by "We'll be able to see her again" is when they all die horribly they'll meet up in Heaven!

Battler has a point here. The culprit's actions, well, don't make a lot of sense. Basically no matter what angle you look at it from, these people dying as they did just just dangerous to the living people involved. If a servant did it, then shoving them all in the shed, which only they have access to, just puts them at the front of suspicion. If, say, Eva did it, well duh everybody's going to suspect that just conveniently enough all her rival's for Kinzo's fortune (As well as the servant her son was eyeing, how scandalous!) is now dead?

You forget that for in order for the tragedies to have meaning, we must show what they make people lose. Jessica's a regular teenage girl, in a sense she's like Battler in that she's also an "everyman" character. She shows how a normal person, unconcerned with the complex politics of the Urishomiya family, reacts to these horrid events.

Maybe Kanon just has really low self-esteem. I mean, our first meeting with the kid is him kind of getting embarrassed in front of the guests by having them helping him with his job.

I think that's Battler's reflection, so no, Beatrice isn't possessing her and mocking her victims. Yet. I have to agree with Cake Attack though. The exaggerated "crazy face" isn't really needed. Maria is creepy enough on her own. The fact that a nine year old just starts talking about all that is disturbing enough. Also, shooting a child is generally a bad idea.

Character's discussing things is half the fun of Umineko. Also apparently Beatrice likes to hang around the kitchen.

Fightest posted:Was she ever out of sight once they arrived on the island? When Rosa made Maria stand outside alone in the rain after slapping her a lot. That's also when Beatrice gave her the letter. Of course, this still brings up the problem of how the culprit knew Natsuhi had the charm.

Fightest posted:The mutilation happened after death. There are no marks on the bodies otherwise (or they would have been mentioned). In other words, the deaths are possibly bloodless. They could have been shot and then smashed up to hide the bullet wound. Or maybe they were killed with magggiccccc. Omniphile posted:That might involve too much happenstance, though. I'm not really up to snuff on mystery rules.
Of course, this story starts out with saying "No Knox" so who knows.

One thing I like about Umineko is that the characters are rather three dimensional. None of them really fit into any simple stereotype. Sure, a bunch of them are jerks. But they're still people, with hopes and dreams and worries. And then they all die horribly. All alibis confirmed. Told ya'll Beatrice did it!
