Mother of God is that in the original Japanese script Is Sonia's dialogue written that way to show that she's refined or rather that she has terrible Japanese? Those are some odd word choices she's exhibiting. E: orenronen posted:

Bellmaker posted:Well Hanamura can go straight to hell, he's worse than Yamada I have a feeling he's going to last as least as long as Yamada, too, but drat if they didn't make him a thousand times more loathsome off the bat. It's kind of interesting to see both characters have a more cartoonish look, as if they're supposed to be less than human in every respect. I'm not sure what Hanamura's look is supposed to be reminiscent of, though.

Hahahaha okay Hanamura just came out of nowhere with that, kinda funny if you think about the topic of discussion before the update. Poor guy will become the Yamada of this game for the thread I think. And I don't really have anything to say about Sonia other than the fact she likes Japan makes think she will be one of those characters that will go crazy everytime something more japanese gets metioned or something.

Bellmaker posted:Sonia is gonna be the more interesting one, the question is if she's playing it straight by being so naive/lonely or if she is running a long con. I think Sonia is literally playing a con. She even has the exact same head-tilt as Celes, I think, so she could conceivably be a Super High-school Level Con Artist. Though faking royal pedigree has got to be difficult. E: Which is exactly why she's a Super High-school Level Con Artist. BravestOfTheLamps fucked around with this message at 16:21 on Dec 26, 2012 |

Wouldn't Sonia be ranked as a fairly low level princess (as far as princesses go)? Seems more like "I am super high school level, this is what I do" rather than "I am super high school level at what I do, which is this." Although I guess it's more about her being pretty and regal rather than being from a powerful country. Powerfrog fucked around with this message at 16:26 on Dec 26, 2012 |

So her last name is Nevermind, and she comes from the country of Novoselic? One of the writers is definitely a Nirvana fan.

persistentminiboss posted:Between that video and some comments in the retsutalk episode I'm really hoping this game doesn't put quite as much focus on the whole "anime girls in swimsuits at the beach" thing as I'm worrying its going to. The impression I got talking to oren (in the podcast) is that there's some fanservice-y stuff, but if you give the game the benefit of the doubt, it gets better in how it treats the characters once you're past it.

Hanamura: Super High School Level Redditor. Nagito continues to get more and more suspicious with his lines, but I at least have to give him credit for threatening ultra-creep over there. ...And I certainly wasn't expecting a SHSL Princess in the cast, wondering what her deal is.

Hey, look on the bright side. At least now we have one character we won't mind dying. Now watch him be one of the survivors just to spite us. SHSL Princess is kind of an odd ability to be accepted for, but we had a SHSL Heir last game, so whatever. CandyCrazy fucked around with this message at 17:02 on Dec 26, 2012 |

Now that you mention it, this time, we have at least three characters whose SHSL talent is being a descendant of a famous family. Both Kuzuryuu and Sonia kind of steal some spotlight from Togami, which makes me wonder even more about his return from the narrative point of view. I mean, Fukawa doesn't seem to have any competition so far, so bringing her back would make for a more varied roster of talents. At least Sonia and Kuzuryuu don't resemble Togami at all. It also makes sense for Hope's Peak to teach many descendants of powerful families.

So while our Super High School Level Chef definitely stole the show this update in the "creepy" department with his poison-sucking talk, can I just take a moment to draw attention to the fact that although she's rather outwardly naive and innocent at the moment one of Sonia's listed interests is the the loving occult?

Well that's a different character for FukuJun. It's kind of weird that he's using that particular voice for Hanamura though, the Lelouch one would actually fit the smug/condescending lines a lot better. Maybe the contrast is the point. And oh joy, a Penguindrum AND Nirvana reference, all in one character! I think we've found the two I'd least mind being rid of. persistentminiboss posted:So while our Super High School Level Chef definitely stole the show this update in the "creepy" department with his poison-sucking talk, can I just take a moment to draw attention to the fact that although she's rather outwardly naive and innocent at the moment one of Sonia's listed interests is the the loving occult?

Who knew goons were so wholesome, I actually think Mr.Chef is hilarious, we need someone who's closer to an average perverted teen archetype then over the top anime archetype, no? "Sex reference in my murder mystery game, how loathsome" I still kinda wish we'd stop pondering on murders and punishments before the first happened but what can you do. Luckily there aren't too many more characters to introduce.

Oh good, the Chef does have some whites to his tiny eyes. I wasn't expecting him to be a lecherous type, though. Princess? I figured from her western name that she was some kind of exchange student. But isn't that just another variation on SHSL Heir, like the SHSL Gangster is? SHSL Heir wasn't that interesting the first time either.

I had to go back and check as I didn't believe you. Holy poo poo. This is going to be an interesting character. I now feel it's unlikely she's a con-artist because what con-artist would openly state they're an occult worshipper while pretending to be a princess? That's assuming the facts we know about their likes and dislikes are either common knowledge or they have confided in us to let us know.

Foodgoon is going to be great when we see him try to interact with some of the more aggressive characters. Sonia seems like a nice character to balance out some of the more intense ones, and Nagito is growing on me more and more. Between this and his wife comment towards Mahiru, I like his sense of humor and really want to see what his place is in the story.

While Hanamura is almost certainly a creep, I think people are taking his line about the snake bite too seriously. It seems like he was just loving with Sonia and wanted to see how far he could push it until she caught on. He just seems like an rear end in a top hat kid with some sexual frustration.

If Game of Thrones has taught me anything, then a SHSL Princess WOULD be appearing naive and airheaded while actually conning and manipulating everyone. edit: VoidBurger posted:Did you accidentally leave out a word? It took me five reads to parse this sentence because of how stilted it is. "This may seem impudent that I am here pleases me." is what I whittled it down to, and it still barely makes sense. the "but" here is a bit important actually because it goes to "This may seem impudent, but that I am here pleases me." But that I am here, while sounding awkward in natural conversation, does make grammatical sense, and seeing as she is someone who at least appears to have been kept away from normal social interaction, and speaks with relatively flowery language, it works in my opinion.

According to Google, he means thong, but I was confused too. Also you can tell Nagito isn't Naegi because instead of "We will stop you. Forcibly," Naegi would've thought "Hmmm. Should I say something here? Oh, well. The opportunity's passed. Maybe next time."
