So, Nagito is basically a reverse Enoshima? I wonder if that means there's a SHSL Hope group that's just as insane as SHSL Despair. If that's the case, it would explain why there are two mascots.

I can't help but imagine Enoshima mailing these out to her viewers in the first game. orenronen posted:
Well, that's pretty horrifying. It would explain why no one seems to give a crap about tying Fukawa up or arresting her, though. Miss Kalle posted:So is Monobear mentioning "those guys" implying that the island was constructed through SHSL Despair, or am I wildly off base with that assumption? That was the impression that I got. Besides, Monobear was originally operated by a member of SHSL Despair. Maybe other people in the group have their own Monobears.

Well, provided the main game is fun enough, I suppose I wouldn't mind especially bad mini-games, though it might lessen my enjoyment overall. For example, I found Final Fantasy X to be pretty fun even though I hated all of the mini-games (aside from Blitzball, which I had to come around to eventually). In contrast, Final Fantasy IX is one of my favorite games ever and had a rather addicting Chocobo mini-game that would reward you with all kinds of great equipment and such. I agree with the person who posted a while back, though. Chrono Trigger DS sucked in that regard.

Apollo Justice posted:Based on their fight and her overall parts in the story thus far, she oscillates between kinda lazy and laid-back and very intense and reckless. Nidai, while certainly not what I'd call level headed, is still seemingly a lot more grounded than she is currently. However she has a lot of potential, as he himself notes (which I believe to translate to her character as well as physical capabilities). We don't have that much to work with at the moment it's true, but that's just how I feel based on what we have seen so far. I don't claim it to be the truth, just a hunch or gut feeling. Makes the most sense, really. The mentor surviving until the end instead of the pupil would be a massive subversion of usual storytelling.

What does he like and dislike? What are his goals? How does he approach a problem? What angers him? One takes one’s own experience as a standard upon which one bases their expectations of others... When another subverts your expectations... They subvert you. A man with such qualities is a fearsome presence indeed.

Somehow, I get the feeling that Komaeda is going to end up playing that game in an attempt to convince people to kill him.

I think games with, like, a professor who solves puzzles or where you collect cute monsters are much better!

So, the game ends with them realizing that they're video game characters made to suffer for the amusement of others, thus instilling them with the greatest despair ever known? Maybe that's the Super Terrible Whatever That Thing Was Called that Enoshima mentioned in the first game: awareness of the fourth wall!

I can't decide whether Pekoyama or Nanami is this game's Kirigiri. Both have that sort of impassive stare, but so far Nanami seems like she's more in the know about a lot of things.

There's a farm in this game, though, so that's not too weird. We can just assume the Monobeasts went there to terrorize the chickens or something.

It always bothered me that we never found out what was on those 13 other video tapes.

Yeah, this school is pretty weird. I mean, I suppose that recruiting a SHSL Gamer isn't a bad idea if they go into game designing or something, but how on Earth are some of these titles even related to school? I mean, this game mostly avoids a lot of the weird things if you assume that Togami and Sonia were accepted due to the prestige of their families (or influence in Kuzuryuu's case), but unless this school has a kendo club, I'm not really quite sure how SHSL Swordswoman is any kind of field of study.

Alberenza posted:I don't think the cast of Dangan Ronpa, 1 or 2, are meant to be particularly deep. I think the strongest aspect of the games are their characters, but that's only because they blatantly appeal to over the top anime stereotypes.

That was Case 4, yes. And I dare say that Dangan Ronpa was pretty great at hiding the murderer...for some cases. I know it was the first case, but how did every character (that wasn't Kirigiri) not immediately know who the killer was from the 11037 message?

All of this discussion is making me start to think this series is going to be a series of Batman Gambits by Enoshima and/or Ikusaba. Like, the Ikusaba in DR1 wasn't really Ikusaba, but some kind of stand-in, and she's controlling Monobear in this game.
