Montegoraon posted:One player is allowed to kill two others. If only 3 remained it would just be a free for all. It's when there's four players that things would get dicey. I actually kind of wish this would happen With 4 people left, the murderer goes and kills off 2 of the others, leaving them and someone else. Would they win automatically since there's no way to reach a majority against them? They obviously wouldn't vote for themselves in the school trial, and the other person would vote for the really obvious murderer.

I'm so glad I can finally post. I'd caught up just as this trial was starting and was all excited to get to joining in the conversation, and then I tab over to Tumblr and immediately see this loving picture Used in some stupid joke, and out of fear of accidentally spoiling the case I stayed quiet. I have to say, murder mysteries are really frustrating when you already know the answer and you're watching a bunch of people argue back and forth about the culprit(s).

Oren, Naegi's failed execution video got taken down. I checked the other executions, they're all fine, at least they were a few days ago. I'm not surprised that he's still alive, the cut didn't look to deep, but then again it's hard to tell sometimes. What I am surprised about is that Monobear of all people is the one helping him.

Hobgoblin2099 posted:1. Alter Ego seems to be alive given that he was shown in the crusher machine and said machine paused rather randomly during Chapter 6's execution, as though he was still in control of it. Then again, they do say it was a virus, so I dunno. It seemed like it was the real Alter Ego, unless Alter Ego made a virus that looked exactly like himself. I guess it doesn't really matter since they left him behind at the school. The latter half of 2 is what is probably true, I replayed that part in the translated game I have earlier today and they explicitly point out that Alter Ego was there during Naegi's execution. Alter Ego planted a virus into the network before Monobear smashed it with a bulldozer, and when Naegi's execution rolled around it put a stop to it. The fact that it didn't show up during Kirigiri's is due to Naegi's luck factor.

LukanFox posted:My interpretation was that Hope's Peak is not so much about training the 'Super High School Level' skills, so much as ensuring that the attending students have generally successful lives after leaving. (How exactly that works is entirely beyond me; is the school board supposed to be able to manipulate luck for their students after leaving so that the various things that happen in their lives somehow turn out for the best? From the first game: quote:
Highly revered private school with no application, where the only students are abnormally good at something is more than enough to guarantee success, according to the note.

This is not as true as it once was, but being a graduate from certain universities in Japan almost guarantees a successful career either as a public official or at one of Japan's mega corporations, regardless of one's actual academic record. Tokyo University is the most famous example of this reverence for where someone studied instead of their actual skills.

I decided to carve a monobear pumpkin this year and see if anyone coming around knows who he is. Not to mention that it makes a bitchin' pumpkin design. The part where the outer corner of his white-hand mouth meets the snout broke off when I popped the pumpkin piece for it out, so I ended up pinning it back on with the same type if pin I used to make his eye float.

Did they do that scraping poo poo on the inside? That is some SHSL pumpkin carving, I can barely make an oval look ovular instead of rectangular. I'll probably post a better picture of mine tomorrow since my brother took that one and he is awful at photo taking.

If the first game is anything to go by, they're hard-wired to come in order, with maybe a few different "I spent time with blank" phrases depending on where you are in the story, I don't know. Generally the characters open up more the longer you spend time with them, and a couple free time events lead into the next.

Ramengank posted:If you don't give a gift or give one that's a poor fit for the character, does it affect that scene in any way? Or is the gift just for additional flavor? If it works like the first game, then there are I think 3 tiers of gift There's "holy poo poo this is the best thing ever," "wow this is pretty neat," and "this is awful i hate you." The first two get the scene, which is unaltered after their reaction to the gift, and the third you get their reaction and are sent away without the event.

It's like she's actively spitting in the face of translators. I know I hated it when Latin deliberately used the wrong tense. Or... wait, I might be reading it wrong. Using the perfect tense to describe an event that's already taken place is the right tense. I guess it's just Ibuki being weird and using the "first meeting" greeting for someone she already knows?

Delta Green posted:Latin rarely uses the wrong tense deliberately. Which text are you referencing? My Latin teacher had us do the occasional "find what's wrong with these sentences" and occasionally she'd throw in a misused tense and I missed those almost a lot. It probably tainted my view of all the actual texts. Bifauxnen posted:Playing actually good death metal instead of cutesy anime J-Pop? So this is why Ibuki is Super High School Level!

I don't know if I've mentioned this before but this game is much more pleasant to look at than the first Dangan Ronpa. The colors in particular look way nicer, especially in the 3D environments. As for despair fever, I'm not really that upset about it. It's not the best possible motive, yeah, since it comes right the gently caress out of nowhere, but DR1 had family, secrets, money, and friendship, which are about as generic as you can get for motives, so I'm at least grateful that DR2 is making the motives less cliched.

We knew about Alter Ego in at least chapter 2, since Chihiro programmed it before his death. And Celes takes it before chapter 3's murder to get Yamada to do what she wants. VVV I'm also pretty sure that if anyone were to make fun of Sakura to the point of angering her she'd just kick their spine in half. curiousTerminal fucked around with this message at 23:56 on Jan 3, 2014 |

Bean posted:Do you think there's a correlation between despair fever and Monobear's movie? We know Nagito saw it, maybe Ibuki and Akane did too. Maybe Monobear's movie does something to induce despair fever. ... or maybe he just drugs the popcorn. I'm willing to bet that the movie is going to be important to Despair Fever somehow, though not necessarily through something as simple as drugging. Possibly some sort of hypnosis? Komaeda was very definitely not himself after he saw it, and Despair Fever possibly grew out of whatever awful things Monobear put into that movie. Like some kind of delayed stress-induced personality flip.

Flocci posted:Togami's talent is not merely having money, nor is it managing it. His talent is being worthy of wearing the crown he was given. Merely wearing a crown does not make a king, but one can not be the king without the crown. This is actually a really good analogy. It's like the difference between Marcus Aurelius and Nero. They were both emperors of Rome, but Nero was loving awful, while Aurelius was amazing. Same title, different levels of competence. It's the same with Togami. Strip Togami of everything he acquired himself, and give another heir a level playing field as him. Togami would still get into Hope's Peak because of how talented and worthy he is of using the tools he was given.

Spiritus Nox posted:True, but the game never made a point of showing us another shot of the monoluchadore with hair spilling out of the mask. Her hair isn't spilling out from under the bag though, as I've seen people say before. It's the handles of the bag. You can see it in the body discovery video as well. Unless you were talking about the body discovery and not the video Hinata was shown, in which case it very obviously can't be Ibuki, since there's no hair spilling out from under the bag.

I can't even play the American releases of DR1 or 2, since I have no PSVita and no money or real desire to get a PSVita, and I'm sure that's at least part of the case with a lot of other people reading the LP as well. I for one would like to see the LP continue. I haven't read any others because I value all the effort you guys put into it (i also enjoy reading the speculation to a point) so this is my only avenue for seeing SDR2. This is all assuming that the screenshot is real, that is. I can't imagine they would localize the second game without seeing the sales of the first.

The big thing about doing the rest of the LP after it comes out though, is that Oren would have to rerecord everything on the Vita, something I'm not entirely sure we know how to do yet. His choices are to translate something that's already been translated, or to redo all the work he's done by playing through chapters 1-3 and then playing through the game another two times.

Mr VacBob posted:Personally I think it's fine to leave language honorifics in when the story is in a native or historical setting. This isn't any different from a translation of The Count of Monte Cristo leaving in "monsieur", and nobody's ever been upset about that. In the first game Japanese name order was a plot point in the third trial with Celes' real name and Yamada's insistence on calling everyone Lastname Firstname-dono, so it made a lot of sense keeping it in there, and continuing it in this LP is just consistency.
