New interview, sounds like the game has some interesting new features and there's been a push to add in more hints to the somnium sections.

At least we learn her name this time!

Might have been in her character file, I don't quite remember at this point.

I'm past the first Somnium which was really cool but it's 3AM here so I must continue later. Let's see how long it takes me to beat this.

I just started, and right after the first Somnium I love the reveals that Date is wearing a Saito mask because it’s more popular with girls, and Aiba ran away because Date’s VR porn was just too weird to handle

Uchikoshi is the best

I can't believe that this is the way that they're getting away with spoiler-free mode.

Tama is a freak (complimentary).

Made it to my first ending. It was the Ota/Mayumi emotional equivalent so I'm smizing through the tears.

I'm not going to lie, I have resorted to the guide for some of the crimescene puzzles. I'm looking at you Naix 9 thing and Yoyogi park monument.

I felt like a loving genius when I managed to figure out that first one. Haven't run into the second one yet though.

Finished 2 routes, let's go go go

Ryuki Chapter 2 What the gently caress does this keypad want from me, I don't get it

I looked it up and gently caress you.

That one took me forever to figure out myself.

I got to the second puzzle you mentioned and managed to solve it relatively easily by drawing it out and also getting lucky by deciding to inspect something at the scene that jogged my pattern recognition.

lets hang out posted:

can someone remind me when they first showed the (late ryuki route) nirvana trial video? i know it happened, but i can't find it now. is this the mandela effect........

I think that specific one is shown to trigger Ryuki's freakout right before the Koenji murder.

Mizuki chap 4 My favourite little reference is that in Lien's somnium the pattern of the mental lock chains are the exact same as the psy-locks in Ace Attorney.

Just finished the game. Wild poo poo. I started seeing the seams of the timeline fuckery when they were talking about Koenji picking up half of the dead body a few days ago and I was like "but he's been dead for 6 years..."

Overall, I liked it a lot in a majority of aspects, maybe even all of them. Whether I like it more than 1 remains to be seen to time, but hey, at least there's no Ota equivalent.

Just finished the game. I think, at least. I assume there's nothing left after the alternate timeline bonus ending via the nil number

There was one loose end I didn't get: in the Gen and Amame ending, why did boss send the cops after them like that?

e: also what's up with dahlia boat. what does that mean. Does it have any deeper meaning than trying to pass info between timelines to reach moksha

Also agreed, who the gently caress is Dahlia Boat

Fun fact that was pointed out to me (big endgame spoilers) When the Mizuki timeline is Mizuki Date, in the investigation bits you can see a scar on her leg from when she got shot in game 1. Bibi does not have this scar when it's her segments.

Finished. (ending) I am very disappointed that not only were Kizuna's legs not healed by the power of song, but Hitomi's arm was retroactively unhealed from when the power of song healed her in the first game

Just like Date, it's a rubber arm she wears for fun.

Speaking of ending stuff, do Mizuki and Bibi share their VA? It's hard to tell for me.

The somniums and key system are better than the first game. I was particularly proud of how in Amame’s somnium, I used the key hint that mentioned her always going with the right option to get 100% on the rapid fire questions at the end of the somnium.

I don’t think they are as hard/obtuse as the first game, but I still felt smart completing them all.

Every answer is correct in the rapid-fire section :v:

(post-game) I appreciate the massive meta balls on the conversation with Tokiko in the void.

"Why'd you make Amame do all that and then kill yourself?"
"Because if I didn't the game plot wouldn't work."

Nope, it was Shoma who tells you in the ferris wheel after his somnium, at the end of his route.

I do prefer AI 1's minor route end credits music though, it's catchier than NI's. Agreed on the finale though.

What the gently caress am I supposed to do in (Mizuki chapter 2) the genetics institute at night?? I think I've exhausted literally everything and the game just keeps looping guards. Am I supposed to get caught by one??

There's an easy to miss black notebook on the closest desk on the right. Pick it up and pass it to Lien.

His scream of terror when Mizuki says that she deleted all his cuckoldry porn is sublime.

The thing I just said, Ryuki having a freakout over realising he can't possibly know both "dahlia" and "boat", forgetting about Komeji being dead for years only when under the player's control, and then the general theme of Ryuki being affected and semi-aware of the frayer which spans like, literally the entire game.

There's one point where as Ryuki afterwards in a convo with Shoma you can ask "how did you get down from the ferris wheel? you just disappeared" and he says that he just came down normally. That was a moment that stuck out to me.
