I'm already lost but that's alright, this 5th game is already off to an interesting start. Like everyone else I'm wondering where this goofy child came from.

Not gonna bring any speculation of these murders that happened yet since there is so little to go on, so I'll speculate on something else. In Episode 1 Natsuhi was narrowed down as the killer due to a bunch of poo poo I don't remember the complete details on, point is Battler was naïve then and defended her with arguments that no longer hold up due to what we now know and he now knows. I'm wondering if the game 5 piece Battler will be as naïve as our Shadow Realm Battler was and have a conflict of seeing himself be so, well, wrong and lead to preventable deaths. I'm sure this new character will just dunk on him instead though, but hey I like speculating.

Sounds like Krauss is trying to use excessively risky business tactics to try and make poo poo loads of money like the young Kinzo did since he wants to be just like Kinzo. Problem is that he's a washed up daddy's boy who already has a poo poo load of money and is stupidly gambling everything he owns, and doesn't own appropriately. So not only did he gently caress it up but there really was no reason to risk everything for a few million shady yen. Uhh.. yeah he's pretty bad at this, like playing Blackjack always going for 21 and never settling for less, or going all in on every hand of Poker despite already digging into Jessica's college funds. Okay that last one probably actually happened.

Kinzo's corpse was controlled like a puppet and Krauss is a great ventriloquist.

I don't know about anyone else, but Bern being a backseat detective would drive me right up a loving wall if I were Battler. Insufferably Smarmy must be really high level Witch ability because Beatrice wasn't half as obnoxious as one of these two, let alone both of them.

I'm gonna keep the Knox rules in mind since they make for a better mystery, but not really trust it entirely since it's not written in red yet.

Dr Pepper posted:Most assume Bern was a good guy because of Higurashi. Yeah this was my sentiment until Ange was killed in Episode 4 and Bern couldn't give less of a poo poo, then the thought of "Oh right, witches are supposed to be bad." occurred. Of course now she isn't even trying to be subtle about it, she's on another level when it comes to burning bridges. But I completely forgot the "most cruel witch" line from Episode 1.

I really wish I didn't have to say it, but it sounds like this phone call is acknowledging that maybe Rudolf has pulled off an Uther Pendragon stunt. If that's actually true then that means Battler and Jessica might actually be... this is feeling more like Camelot than I ever wanted, but I'm sure Kinzo is a fan of it loving western stories and hating his family.

Also Bern already tried confirming whether or no that phone call actually happened in red text just to be refused the confirmation. Meaning it could be all bullshit to try and throw a wrench into the game which is unlikely, or could've happened but with a few different details like who's voice was on the other side cause or exactly what they were talking about.

There's nothing preventing a claim that someone here is corpse puppet being controlled and voiced by someone else to fool Battler, aside from how silly and cheap it is.

Erika's stupid title seems to be there to make it clear that she's not intended to be heroic or whatever you want to call it, just some wandering enigma that's exposing everyone's secrets regardless of who's toes get stepped on in the process. That's what I'm gathering from it anyway, it's still a pretty dumb phrasing for it that raises and eyebrow or ten.

idonotlikepeas posted:Simply by the existence of Erika in the story, this level of reasoning is possible for forums user idonotlikepeas. What do you think, everyone? Erika is more of self insert of the readers along with Bern in trying to solve the mystery at this point, since she doesn't give a fraction of a gently caress about the people involved and bitches about any mystery cliché that happens. Maybe I'm just overthinking it, but it almost feels like a  from the game to players that think they solved everything from the first game. Or just a character to show that Battler as an "ideal detective" would be another immoral prick that would be difficult to route for in most situations.

idonotlikepeas posted:Holy poo poo it actually was. WHAT IS SHE WEARING. HOW DO THE OUTFITS GET MORE INSANE. The only thing that can dress sillier than a witch is a self proclaimed witch hunter. ProfessorProf posted:As much fun as Dlanor reactions always are, we should also get some speculation going. We all know that Kinzo is already dead, but even so, is there any way left for Battler to show that he could have escaped the study? Hmm... all I have are three very flawed possibilities in mind. Kinzo left with Natsuhi from the front door, Kinzo snuck out after Rudolf came in through the window, and Kinzo broke a new exit out and managed to patch it over before Rudolf came in through the window. This is what I come up with while eating breakfast before going to work and I'm already bad at this, probably won't comeback with good answers so have fun folks.

Bernkastel enjoys adding gasoline to Erika's burn a little too much. Anyone want to explain how Battler got out of that unharmed? I've never jumped out of a 3 story window before, but I know it's more than high enough to make me not want to.

Litttle did anyone realize that this island was built in a way that the trade winds pass by Kinzo's study causing an updraft of wind that allows him to more safely jump from his own window swooning all who witness this. Theres a hidden device X that helps with dealing with a high fall; such a trampoline, bungee cord, something else, hidden under the window. It could be hidden in the bushes, trees, or somewhere else. Battler using his expertise in Gymnastics used the branches of trees to quickly make his way down safely. Uhh... there was a zipline there the whole time and no one noticed but Battler since he jumped from the window which itself has a blind spot that keeps it hidden. I think a few of these break Knox rules, but gently caress it, I still haven't had breakfast.

I watched it and am going into this LP blind (except for one screenshot), never saw much of anything spoiled. It's not really funny bad, aside from the animation, but I enjoyed watching it for its incompetence.

This is making Battler feel like Phoenix Wright all the more, since Erika is just trying to pin the murders on someone while Battler is seeking the absolute truth even if he's being kind of a jackass going in circles and making everyone eventually hate him. Since it is this game I'm sure he won't get a game over for not finding the real culprit, which is stupid in Phoenix Wright a lot of the time, he'll just continue his torture in purgatory until he eventually finds the truth or gives up.

Putting seals on doors to stores she goes to and listening through walls of hotel rooms instead of sleeping in them. Public bathrooms must be a nightmare.

The only corpse that seems suspicious to me is Genji's since it seems like everyone just kind of accepted it without as much fanfare. I had a thought that Genji used Kinzo, or someone else's, corpse to fake his death and commit the murder. Erika's seals have all but solved that mystery. She's pretty competent at this detective poo poo, she's just so creepy and smug about it it's hard to route for her.

It's been established that she was the previous Beatrice, but I don't think they have said if she has the Endless Witch/Golden Witch title. I may be misremembering but I think someone called her a Silver Witch or something.

thetruegentleman posted:4. Battler does his best thinking after he's been impaled. Battler got dunked on so hard he gets impaled and knows that Beatrice, Natsuhi, and probably everyone else in his family will die with him and won't even know why this ever happened in the first place. For Beatrice it was the worst day of her life, for Bernkastel it was Tuesday, but for Battler it reminds him of a puzzle.

ZiegeDame posted:For all her smugness, Erika is really playing on easy mode, isn't she. Lambda isn't even trying. Sure, just selectively ignore red truths that don't fit your theory, why not. Must be so tough, winning a game where both players are on your side. I think this is why it has been most the frustrating (for me) thing to read through this section. It makes sense the Lambadelta is enjoying herself having less stake than everyone else, but now she actively trying to end the game on a pin against Natsuhi for no reason. Maybe there's a plan she has in mind that will flip everything on it's head, but I can't get the feeling of anime bullshit for the sake of making the audience feel bad for the characters with actual stakes involved. It just feels really cheap to me and I feel the opposite of the way resugram40 felt because it makes no sense to me. In other words I don't feel anything. Edit: agreed gently caress Krauss, Erika did you forget that he has no alibi?

Qrr posted:Krauss has an alibi via red text that for some reason they are accepting. And that reason is that his isn't a trial in any way - it's a metaphorical witch hunt, as opposed to the literal witch hunts that should be going on. Doesn't that only apply as an alibi to the murder of Hideyoshi? The trial never even got to that part so it really doesn't matter. I'm talking about Erika saying that the only Kinzo could have done it without even mentioning Krauss on the gameboard.
