Have any of you played this? A supernatural investigation Phoenix Wright-eqsue game sounds potentially fantastic.

My logic is that even if 0's not as good, it doesn't retroactively make the original worse, and I like those characters.

Meallan posted:The danganronpa and zero escape series are both pretty drat great with all entries available for the vita. That said, if you only play 999 and VLR, and not ZTD, you wouldn’t be missing too much. It’s significantly worse than the others.

food court bailiff posted:Probably two thirds of ZTD is very good, but the true ending is super bad and it retroactively made me dislike even the stuff that was fun initially. The whole setup seemed a lot more fun than 999/VLR but I don't feel like it was explored nearly as well - which is a shame because of the deep ties to VLR. This is 100% my view. The end makes the rest of the game worse, and really soured my memory. There are bits that are genuinely very cleverly set up, but they're not enough to save itself from its ending. As for whether or not it's a VN, I guess not. Not really sure what it would come under though. An adventure game?

The issue is the story. I'm not sure more money would have saved it. Personally, I didn't have any problems with the presentation.

bagrada posted:Thanks for the tips, I will check out the first let's play posts of umineko and morgana and grab one of those next, and will look into the others mentioned. ProfessorProf's LP of Umineko is great. Unfortunately I had to stop following it 3/4 of the way through because I was reaching the end of PhD and it consumed my life, but it was a really fun way to experience the majority of that game at the time.

Double Punctuation posted:I think of the characters as the staff and actors in a movie. At that point, they’re discussing a previous shooting and various changes they could make to the performance. I think that's more true of Higurashi. Keiichi is regularly referred to not be present because he's too busy learning the next script (and doesn't have a sprite). E: Well, more consistently true. I guess the Umineko Tea Parties are deliberately twisting on the format of the Higurashi All Cast Reviews. CottonWolf fucked around with this message at 09:11 on Jul 11, 2018 |

HerpicleOmnicron5 posted:A part of me wants to wait until good art happens, but another part really wants to get into the release-by-release speculation that I missed out on for both Higurashi and Umineko. This is rough. Assuming it’s even a mystery. But either way, I’m all in for the bad art/discussion. MangaGamer might pick it up for translation as soon as it comes out, right? They should have finished the main arcs of Higurashi by then. e: Actually, I guess they probably won’t have finished Matsuribayashi by then...

Nate RFB posted:IMO Higurashi is worse at getting started because the first couple of chapters were amongst the first things that the author had written and he spends a lot of time faffing about with the club's silly antics before getting into the meat of the story. The chapters are also a fair bit shorter than most of the later ones (as well as Umineko) so it's not the end of the world, though. I think Watanagashi suffers from that most, because you’re coming off Onikakushi, which has the advantage of being “new” and you don’t know where it’s going, so the the club stuff doesn’t drag, but Watanagashi doesn’t have that excuse. By Tatarigoroshi he’s got his head in and is writing the normal life stuff in a way (that I least I felt) isn’t dull. Watanagashi’s by far the worst of the question arcs IMO.

Ryuga Death posted:You should also give the Zero Escape series a try. Personally, I'd just advise playing 999 and VLR. ZTD has some strong moments, but I don't think the game as a whole stands up. Plus there's a separately release called "The Nonary Games" which just has 999 and VLR.

How does Fata Morgana work? Are there choices or is it linear like Higurashi or Umineko?

For those that were interested, the Fata Morgana physical copies are up on Limited Run. I imported the PS4 one in the end, because hoping for an EU PSN release seems like a long shot.

No idea. It was the first time I ever tried to buy anything from them. I just wanted a PS4 standard edition and had no problems. I guess that was probably the least popular option though...

The second Higurashi series has a fantastic song, even if the actual op is meh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GZgzc3_-eA And the Umineko op is one of the few redeeming things about that anime. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCIgS258PA0

The best part of it is the route that leads to the VLR ending, IMO. A lot of the rest of it is pretty disappointing.
