I'm not usually into this style of game, but man, this shit's been pretty damn entertaining so far. I just finished the second case. There's already been some pretty dang good plot twists, and I love the wild cast of characters, admittedly some more than others. I decided to play this pretty much on a whim so I have 0 idea where the story ultimately ends up, curious to see where it goes from here.

I'm sad tho that Mondo went out so early, I love that character Archetype, was interested to see where his arc went. RIP.

Yeah... I did get one character death spoiled from an image; Luckily it's the character I probably like the least so far, so I'm not too bothered by it.

Being very wary going forward tho.

Honestly as much as I've been enjoying playing the first one, I can definitely see myself playing the whole main series.

2 is the best imo, 3 has the best cast and individual cases, 1 is just all around great

One of my favorite series. In my opinion, the series gets better over time where V3 is the best and 1 is the worst (V3 is the game, 3 is the anime). The general consensus seems to be that 1 is the worst while 2 and V3 fight for the top spot and it's pretty split, but 1 is still a great game, so it only goes up from here.

People might say you have to watch the anime or play the side game Ultra Dispair Girls before moving to V3, but you really don't. You can just play 1, 2, and V3 and you'll be fine story wise.

Ok good; yeah, I already have some suspicions about that element as far as this specific case anyway.

Hopefully can play some more tonight after work.

I am glad that it at least seems like Hufemi is out; he I think is by far my least favorite character so far. A little bummed about Taka tho; I didn't like him all that much at first, but during case 2 he started to grow on me.

I preferred 2 overall, but V3 has a perfect ending. Both are very good though

1 was good when I played it, then when I played the rest I realised how much better they were

Damn, Case 3 was pretty great.

Sad to see Celeste go, she was one of my favorites,, and I felt like like could have made it to Endgame. Even still tho, she made it a good while,, and I love how fucking convoluted her murder plot was.

RIP Taka, your presence will be missed.

and of course the chapter ends a bit after the trial, right on a pretty big plot cliffhanger involving Sakura, who as of this very moment might be my favorite character

I have work in the morning god damn it, I have to go to bed :(

I'm really loving this game tbh. It's a lot more... "anime" I guess than the games I normally play. But I'm just really loving the world, the cases, and the characters a lot. Haven't gotten this invested in a game in a while.

Idk, I guess I just liked how all over the place it was. It was both way more straight forward yet also weirdly convoluted.

Damn it...

Of course they kill off my favorite character. I mean, I knew it was coming eventually, Sakura was too straight up badass for them to not take her out before Endgame.

Also, question cause I think I might've uh... smoked a bit too much and missed it: What all like , infiltration and sabotage-y stuff did Sakura actually do for Monokuma? I know she made the promise to kill someone (which I feel might come up during the class trial), but I don't remember what the spy was doing for everyone to start suspecting there was a spy in the first place.

DR1 yeah, it's very rushed and incomplete. But DR3 ain't bad. It gives a lot of expansion on the world.

Interestingly I ended up watching the prequel portion of DR3 before playing DR2, which some might say is blasphemy, but honestly I don't regret it.

TC, obviously do not read aaanything about the DR3 anime before finishing the first game lol.

Fun fact I learned about Monokuma. His Japanese voice actress played the title character of an extremely popular anime called Doraemon which aired for 26 years. She used the same voice for both characters. Apparently the cultural equivalent is playing a violent murder mystery game with Elmo's voice coming out of the one in charge of it.

Oh wow, I did not know that. I can see why that would be trippy

Imagine Monokuma with Winnie the Pooh's voice

Speaking from experience, even googling the game after you finish it you're still likely to find spoilers. Just avoid it until you're done with the series.

I'll be real; I highly doubt I'll ever get into the anime(s?) or any extra stuff like that. I'll probably just stick with the mainline 3 games and call it good. I really like the first game and the story so far, but I'm not a super huge anime dude in general, so this is altready a little out of my wheelhouse as it is.

To be honest, the DR3 anime might be the only important thing, but even then it's not necessary if you're just playing the games.

Might be worth playing Ultra Despair Girls. It's relevant in some parts as well, though ultimately if you're skipping the anime you don't really need UDG either.

Not sure why everyone is recommending the DR3 anime. It's alright, but it ruins certain characters and some of the events that we finally got to see. Some things are better left told, and not shown. DR3 proved that.

The Future arc was just...ehhh. Nothing about it stands out at all.

I can't wait to see how you react to the end of the game TC. Do not watch DR3 or it may taint the series for you. It doubles as a prequel and a sequel and clearly was NOT planned when the first two games came out, and it shows.
