He actually only wrote the Diana Sigma Phi one IIRC, and that was the best route by far.
Carlos was kinda goated I'll say

Oh yeah, I mean in that route, I thought I was only gonna care about my boy Junpei and my girl Akane, and for whatever reason, I ended up liking Carlos the most in that route. I mean when he blasted into the room like a firefighter I cheered. I just wish they did the main 2 characters a bit more justice considering the last 2 games were very heavily about them

This game is kinda crazy thus far. It feels like there are so many details here and there where I have to wonder how I'm playing a 100 days RPG and it also happens to have 100 endings that all change the game like crazy.

I haven't reached an ending yet though

As someone who has never played the sequel, I don't even know how the fuck this is possible and I'm ready to hate the explanation.
it's just a very realistic mask. Date says it's because the ladies liked his old face more / he got used to it. The real reason is to prevent spoilers for people who start with Nirvana Initiative. I love that game, perhaps more than the first, but this is a legitimately dumb decision.

I'm playing the game in japanese and I haven't looked it up, but it's pretty obvious creepy twin boy is voiced by Naegi/Komaeda's voice acotr (Megumi Ogata I think?). I'm sure that doesn't have any implications, but after Komaeda I can't stop wondering about such things >_>

I bought it the other day and start playing last night, Up to the first free time ATM.No idea what to expect from the story in this one. Are we gonna get up to Danganronpa V3 levels of batshittery? The story seems even less grounded than Danganronpa but also I somehow doubt they'll get to the levels of V3 during the finale.

The game itself seems funish so far. 1 million times better than phoenix wright but worse court cases, but it seems more like a tower defense game where you can move and control the towers.

Still too early to judge the characters IMO but I remember liking the Danganronpa casts more from the get-go than this one, but I'm sure the empty rooms on the roof will fill and characters will develop.

I have to wonder wtf would change if you choose not to fight at the start. I guess you might be forced to fight, but does Karua die? She's probably already dead tbh. But if the game has as huge branching paths as what I've heard maybe that split there may as well be the split for 50% of the game?

If I were to guess that's probably the only "but thou must" choice as it's basically the tutorial. Makes sense, though I haven't hit any other choices in a while.

spoilers (or rather a theory) as to how I believe choices work but nothing major, I'm at day 60-ish or so

my theory is you don't actually unlock any choices until the end of the hundred days because with the pacing of the game I'm sixty ish days in within sixteen hours and besides that one meme choice where you can abandon karua at the start there's been no choices but plenty of parts where I'm all 'oh this will probably bite them in the ass later' so i assume what happens is you fuck up hard and Takumi discovers he can go back in time and from there the other endings branch out or something

game's insanely good btw, i knew absolutely nothing about it but played the demo a week ago on a whim and was hooked immediately

Flight means if an enemy is a flying enemy that it gets an attack bonus

in this case it means if an enemy is flying the attack will deal a bonus two damage along with the regular damage

Oh that makes sense. I remember being surprised at how much damage Darumi did to the first commander unit, the flying dragon. I was thinking there was some unspecified bonus to powering up her attack.

Weird. I guess all the attacks that have flight at the start are just innately ranged. I've been focusing on the passives rather than the new attacks when I purchase skills.

You can just select the space your units should be and then decide where the attack will land

Darumi feels the most OP by far. I unlocked her debuff move and it's basically the best move that I've seen so far.

I only had 1 character ever "die" so far in the SRPG mode. It was preventable but I'm completely raw dogging this playthrough.

Alright forget everything, Tsubasa is op actually. It's because she can't get fatigued and has a ton of move. She's no boss killer but there's plenty of that to go around.

You buff her with the hemo whatsis and Gaku's buffs, and she can do funny things like clear the entire first 3 waves BY HERSELF on Day 29 in a mere 4-6 turns

you can get a ton of AP by getting chains of kills especially with last resort skills
there's no real risk with last resort skills because characters come back between waves but I've had as much as like
sixteen AP a turn it's pretty nuts

Yeah Tsubasa is ridiculously broken. If there's ways to permanently increase damage or something later on (like upgrading the skills but with +dmg instead of +energy or something) she will absolutely break the game.
Well she probably already breaks the game as is. Cavalry type units are usually quite good in SRPGs but Tsubasa is a whole other level of OP

I've been reading to finish all the books (just did), then changed to only gift giving. My understanding is that if you give a gift someone loves, you'll get more points than if you hung out with them. Giving them a gift they like (but don't love) seems equivalent to hanging out.

It's funny cuz they literally start you with the actual Cavalry unit that is mostly just a mob clearing tank, then there's Tsubasa who is the real ultra mega cavalry with basically double the move, less restrictive attack, no fatigue, who cures life and ends life all by herself, AND is moderately tanky. I haven't seen everything there is to the game yet but man, has she got everything going for her

Tsubasa is a good support unit I find
each of the units I've had access to are pretty good especially when you unlock their other skills

by the by there is a skill you can unlock titled last yell i highly recommend getting it for everyone
it makes it so when someone acts other units will support them and boost their attack and voltage, and it stacks and actually stays active between rounds
the damage you can do is absurd

She's good at supporting, but she's the best in the game at clearing the mid sized enemies. In that particular stage, there are a lot of enemies that are 3 hp, which she essentially clears for completely free, and she can essentially use them like Goombas to clear BOTH sides of the stage. Whether or not that'll hold up in the future stages remains to be seen, but her range is also just very easy to use because of her massive move speed and lack of fatigue.

It's not that I don't use other characters, but I think she's basically just like 3 different roles by herself. Just gotta hope she spawns near a buffer I guess lol

The only time I got less than an S rank was the brainwashing commander when the other school was attacking the generator, spent too much time silly dallying so the generator's health ended up in the red.

At Day 79 ish, I'm starting to suspect that the 100 days benchmark is the equivalent of killing Medusa in Kid Icarus Uprising or Orochi in Okami, where the game will basically go "congrats, the true game begins now".

yeah im at day 60 something i just took down the imposter moko and ive had this feeling for a while now. like maybe its just going in knowing theres like 100 different endings or something, but having had no choices so far yet.
But even outside of that there's clearly points in the story that are meant to be branching points I suspect like potentially saving sirue or whoever, saving the axe girl, probably even killing/saving imposter momoko, they were discussing killing the prisoner which hasnt happened for me yet but i imagine we see both outcomes regardless, etc etc maybe even saving the enemy commanders
all just speculation so far but i cant imagine getting to the end and then having 100 endings bury us somehow

And I don't care if killing Eito and not listening to the board messages has got me swimming up shit creek so far with so many of the crew dead, fucker was beyond insane, too dangerous to be left alive, and I ain't participating in a killing game.

I'm a bit behind because I have a stacked schedule but MAN I'm really itching to keep playing. Getting close to day 50 and I want to see what happens next.

I've also just had an awful feeling regarding the process of killing enemy commanders. The way it's framed (enemy's POV, begging and/or crying to not be consumed, characters' eyes are glowing red, bright red background) is just unsettling.
