When threads like this just guess wildly every single post it takes a lot of fun out of reading it and it becomes tedious.

slowbeef posted:Sherringford's right. There's no logic or evidence presented. It makes really trying to guess what happened not as fun, and it's white noise. Sex_Ferguson posted:It can just as easily be argued that the sky changed black is a thematic thing rather than "Oh hey, we're in a virtual reality world," especially since this game is not really bound to any sort of reality whatsoever. I mean, you're not gonna say that DR1 is some sort of virtual reality because Mondo turned to butter when he was put through high speeds and the game has a hacker character.

Bland posted:Don't worry, there's nothing to see, this is just how the You can say that, but given the DR1 thread no theory should be discounted out of hand. Remember how many people scoffed at idea of Chihiro being male when several people saw it as pretty obvious. And of course the mastermind was guessed at really, really early on, to be followed by the Meme-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named. As for SHSL Gangster... ehn. I can see it going either way. Between the face and the no-swimming thing, I'm leaning toward the crossdressing theory, but the voice (and male VA) keeps me from buying it completely. But this is Dangan Ronpa we're talking about, so who loving knows.

Cardiovorax posted:Disregarding the VR thing, if that sort of thing bothers you, maybe reading a murder mystery LP just isn't the best of ideas. Guessing and speculating is kind of the whole appeal. I think there is a difference between blind guessing and trying to 'solve' the game though. To me the appeal of a murder mystery LP is trying to solve the mystery the game is presenting based on evidence we have. There's a lot of discussion that can be made about how to interpret a certain piece of evidence or things like that and that's pretty fun. I frankly don't see the appeal in just blindly guessing things because then there isn't really much to discuss.

Skunkrocker posted:Well, it's fun to discuss such things. Is it possible? Yes. Likely? No. It's, to me anyway, just goofy. Fun conversations about stuff in the game we can harp on about because nothing has happened yet. We don't have enough clues yet. We're not at the end of the chapter called "A Quiet Party in St. Mary Mead". We don't even know for sure that there will be murders, for Pete's sake.

This thread sounds like a conspiracy theory whiteboard. There's this nice thing called atmosphere. The whole "bugging out" thing could be a nice representation of blacking out, instead of the Matrix sending another cat through a doorway. The weather turning dark could also represent "something bad's gonna happen!" instead of weather controlling. Dangan Ronpa 1 was a crazy game, yeah, with some weird things like AI and robots. It was still, for the most part, grounded in reality. These theories are a bit too crazy. Chill with the analyzing and just go with the flow. There's no awards for "I called it the earliest!"

For a while in the DR1 thread I suggested we go back after plot points and call out the people who were most painfully wrong about poo poo EXPLICITLY TO discourage this darts bullshit that pervaded the last thread and is running rampant over this one. At the time everyone called me a funhater because it would discourage speculation. I maintain that publicly laughing at the people who spewed nonsense was a good idea then and is a good idea now.

This isn't speculation in the murder mystery style. This is speculation in the hands of a grade one class. And at least they only have like half an hour.

And this is when the terrible stuff hasn't even started yet, which is horrifying. When the first body shows up, if it is a first body, I will look foward to the speculations and all that. Till then, reading Oren's update, Fedule's update and then off to read another thread.

Apathetic Panda posted:
Yeah, I got so upset when everyone was mean to her.  I want your cellphone strap Usami!I thought Chihiro was a girl when I first saw him as well (which would be pretty cool) but then I listened to the audio clip and... oh man, no way. I guess if they chose a more ambiguous VA there would be too much confusion? Gotta admit he does not seem particularly interesting to me yet but if he manages to survive a bit longer I guess I might warm up to him (although I hated Togami till the very end of DR1 so maybe that's not my character type...). I like the theory about Koizumi being a Junko/her sister type of a figure but at the same her skill seems to perfect NOT to be used in a murder mystery? She's pretty bland anyway so I hope she gets some development soon as well. (Also, Souda's design reminded me of Syo (teeth/tongue in some caps) but then I remembered that fangs and 'shark teeth' are most likely just how yaeba is translated to anime.  )

slowbeef posted:It's not really even a theory, too. Slowbeef is right. Pretty much the only things that the Simulation Wild Guess explains that can't be explained in another way is the sudden weather change and possibly the cow and chicken thing. The sudden switch in location at the beginning (classroom to Jabberwock Island) and our new can be explained by whatever (as-yet) unexplained technology/voodoo stuff Junko used on the characters in the first game. Ditto for Hajime's amnesia. For heaven's sake we don't even know when this game takes place in relation to the first game. Is it simultaneous? Before? After? There's no way to know at this point in the game unless you've already finished it, in which case why are you posting random speculation in this thread, anyway? Unless you're actually Monobear. Which we can safely assume is a non-starter.

Kringlorr posted:Monobear making an account to spoil the entire game does seem pretty in character. If I recall correctly, there was a Monobear account that showed up at some point in the DR1 thread, though they didn't post spoilers, just lame 'in-character' posts that felt really forced. They were quickly called out as a gimmick account and promptly never heard from again after a couple pages, though I don't remember if they were banned explicitly for this.

For some reason, I can't help but theorize that Monobear will be embracing a more twisted form of "hope" this time, rather than out-and-out despair. Like the Joker or something. It may just be me, but I can totally see him singing this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iSYAV2lp5c

From the way Skunk described it a few pages ago. It sounds like this is how Fukawa would write a book about the whole situation. Changing the setting, mixing people together. It just seems like it could happen. Of course this is all I got on it, so I'll just stop it here.

It can honestly be said that everything in the 73 pages past is random guessing. The prologue hasn't ended yet. I don't think anyone is trying to say "called it" when something happens, I'm merely expressing that of all things speculated, this is the one that can be deduced even without reference to DR1. Every theory at this point is moot because there is nothing concrete whatsoever. Everything will change and everything up to this point should be seen as somewhat random. I'd actually prefer nothing i read thus far be true, I have much more fun seeing craziness unfold then seeing hundreds of us guessing until something feels right.

I think what everyone needs to remember is that we are only ten updates into the game... these updates being part of the prologue, WE ARE NOT EVEN AT THE FIRST MURDER YET. You have no grounded evidence for speculation on anything, not even the characters. Why would you assume Fuyuhiko is a cross-dresser? Because he looks a bit girly and doesn't want to swim? Okay, why is he a crossdresser? Can you back that up with any real damning evidence? No, we literally know nothing about him other than he has a bad attitude, is a gangster, does not like anybody on the island and hates milk. If you want to make a theory, you need evidence and educated reasoning behind your logic, not just "gut feelings," what happened in the last game and anime cliches.

Sex_Ferguson posted:No, we literally know nothing about him other than he has a bad attitude, is a gangster, does not like anybody on the island and hates milk. Technically, we don't even know he's a Gangster, just that he's introduced himself as a gangster. And if you want some secret reason he doesn't want to swim beyond not-wanting-to-swim, you could guess: Unlike a proper Yakuza, he doesn't have any tattoos. His skin is as unblemished as a baby's, and he doesn't want this to get out. Or maybe he can't swim. Or maybe he's got some horrendous injury he doesn't like showing off. Or maybe he's a secret robot. Who knows? There's all sorts of possibilities here.

TLucinice posted:When threads like this just guess wildly every single post it takes a lot of fun out of reading it and it becomes tedious. This is truth, and it's the reason that outside of updates, and scanning the thread for fanart, I'm ignoring most posts by people. Most people are just "guessing" (in quotation marks to be honest, because of past "guesses" in the last thread that turned out to be entirely accurate) so they can be "that guy" later in the thread. No disrespect to oren/fedule, because the last thread was fantastic and this one is shaping up to be just as good. That said, I'm pretty sure he's just antisocial and doesnt see the need to go swimming.
