Ok, this gymnast thing has to be a deliberate troll of people who complained that Asahina's cleavage wasn't aquadynamic.

Interesting. The statue looks like it's from Greek myth -- it's the hero Bellerophon riding Pegasus to defeat the Chimera, a hideous amalgamation of lion, serpent, and goat. Bellerophon is also famous for letting his victory over the Chimera get to his head, and he falls from grace due to his hubris.

It did remind me of that, but the horse doesn't have wings, there's an eagle on the guy's shoulders, the cat is a tiger, and there's no goat. That could still be what it's supposed to represent, but those are a lot of changes.

The place is called Jabberwock Park. Perhaps it's some sort of Alice in Wonderland reference? I'm not familiar with the book's creatures to be able to discern anything of note.

A quote from an entirely different LP pretty much sums up my thoughts about everything so far: Also me and my cousin really loved squashing ants when we were children, kids can be pretty cruel. But I suppose it gets a bit weird by the time you're a high school student.

Akane's "ignore basics, try to make new stuff and only some of it is good" is something I have... it's actually troublesome. So we've met all the cast now... something tells me something is going to go wrong in probably and update or two. Unless they're really gonna do the whole it's actually peaceful or its peaceful until suddenly monobear.

quote:A farm without a cow is like a Japan representative who isn't Japanese This with the ant murdering tendencies makes me a little suspicious about our classical dancer. Also just as a little crackpot theory I think Nagito is Naegi. I think he's been on the island a lot longer than everyone else. That's why he's so calm about everything, and his hair's been bleached by the sun. idk why he's a foot and a half taller though

We're not even in Chapter 1 yet anyway (I think?); this is just the Introduction or Prologue or whatever. So it's time for half the cast to die before the game even begins proper.

It'd be cool if the anime had a totally different cast than either game  Or maybe I'm just SHSL wishful that the botanist would have his day.Anyway, I can't say I'm really gelling with the dancer or gymnast for now. The dancer seems to be just another cute psycho archetype, while the gymnast is your regular ol' tomboy. Not that I actively dislike either, it's just that I prefer the hammy animal trainer or our slacker shark mechanic to them. Fatogami's still awesome though. Anyway, what really got me was Usami's little 'magic trick'; it really raises doubts as to how 'realistic' this game is, and whether the kids really are in the Matrix or something. Otherwise, we might have a SHSL-nanoroboticist running around as the mastermind  RoeCocoa posted:Ever since Friday the 13th, Part 2, there's been a trend where the survivor(s) of a slasher film will be the first to die in the sequel.

I don't know if they have dubbed South Park in Japan but if they do they should have gotten whoever does the Cartman voice to do Togami, because that's all I hear when I look at him. I'm honestly a little disappointed that he sounds the exact same as the previous game.

Nice job at timing, Fedule. Why is it always the tiny characters who are creepy? First the chef, now Saionji. Also, I think I have proof it's a prequel - Togami's throne in the official art is pretty big. Thin Togami has too much buttspace in it for it to be comfortable, but it fits Fatogami perfectly. So the throne must have been produced while he was fat. Wrist Watch posted:130kg comes out to around 296 pounds, right? That seems a little light for a body that loving fat.

If this is VR then fat Togami could be a VR character based on Togami rather than a real person. Not too hard to program something to say "Feh. Don't talk to me." Though why someone would make their fake Togami fat, I don't know. Intense dislike maybe.

Makes more sense to me that Usami's referring to Sonia there, especially since we just talked to her. An exchange student usually makes sense, but Hope's Peak Academy is supposed to be all about raising the nation's hope. It would be kind of odd for a foreigner to aspire to be one of Japan's great leaders. Maybe Sonia is cleverer than she looks.

I guess the "large breasted athlete" joke continues on. But I think they kind of over did it here. Unless she's super strong so she doesn't get back pain from those things. And wow. This is the real Togami? How? There has to be an explanation. I look forward to seeing it.

Why is everyone over thinking the chicken-to-cow trick? Both Monobear and Usami can disappear and reappear anywhere almost instantly, what's to say the same thing didn't happen here? We don't need the Matrix for a simple magic trick.

 There's an obvious resemblance to Asahina there, both in appearance and personality(since she's got a similar habit of forgetting people's names). If this is a distant sequel, I wouldn't be surprised if she was one of Asahina's descendants (along with the Togami of this game being a descendant of the original). Then again, the fat Togami seems to have the same birthday and same height as the original(while obviously being heavier). I guess if there were any differences it would be a major tipoff that something wasn't right. Of course, if this is really the same Togami, it only raises further questions, such as the reason why he's here with these new students, and the reason for his current... obesity. You know, something else seems a bit familiar about Akane... It reminds me of some of the early concept art of Sakura that was posted in the first game's thread.  The outfit does seem very similar to our SHSL Gymnast, doesn't it? I wouldn't be surprised if her design was based off the same concept art, only made more feminine.

DaveWoo posted:So Nagito knows exactly who Togami is, and is treating him as though he's just another member of the class? That's... interesting. That's more than interesting, that's contradictory. Think back about what Nagito said earlier - he looked up his classmates on the web. He also said that there was only one High School Level Luck dude per year. Everyone in the thread more or less agreed that this meant they were either seniors or juniors to DR1's class. What I'm getting at is, Nagito can't have been on the same year as Togami, but he says that they were on the same year as evidenced by saying that he looked up info on his classmates on the internet. Those two statements don't really match up well, so we definitely need an explanation for that. I mean maybe you can solve that contradiction by saying that Togami was held back a year for some reason, but that's probably the kind of thing either Nagito or Naegi would have mentioned(in case of prequel stuff).

SingerOfW posted:Could it be that they just got acquainted at the beach while Hajime was out cold? Hm, that's possible, but Togami doesn't seem particularly talkative. Plus Nagito seems to know an awful lot about him having earned money on his own and all - that's generally the kind of thing that doesn't come up in a conversation when you are talking to someone who seems keen on shutting you up. "Go away. By the way I've earned a fortune on my own outside of inheriting my family's already ridiculous fortune." Then again, if Nagito is Naegi, we can throw a lot of what he's saying right out of the window. It would explain why he knows who Togami is, and the earlier theory someone made about Naegi and Togami infiltrating games to presumably go Battle Royale 2 on everybody would explain why Nagito is trying to make it look like Togami is their classmate. Not that I'm saying we should just latch on to that theory(specially since I don't think our current evidence points to Nagito being Naegi) but it's something to keep in mind. What I'm getting at is, the information Nagito is giving us seems pretty weird. We can probably form a decent theory on Togami once we have a better idea on what Nagito's game is.

Usami: Super High-school Level Magician. That being said, with the newly-acquired information regarding Togami and how he may actually be the Togami in the last game, I'm going to look through the last thread for any hints towards him liking coffee in that game. While I'm not sure what this information may bring, that will be a question for later when we've seen more of this particular Togami. In case it isn't apparent: yes, I'm going to treat the Togami in this game as a separate Togami from the first game until we can be fully certain whether this Togami is the first Togami or not. As for our Saionji, her likehood for bubble wrap perfectly matches my likehood for the same thing. And she's being somewhat creepy with how she likes squishing those Like many others have already said, Akane's body proportions don't fit her title at all. But then again, she is a SHSL Gymnast, so maybe she's learnt how to compensate for that by being extra amazing while she's preforming. orenronen posted:
And I'm really hyped to see what's going to happen at the beach. Also I'm still not 100% convinced that these characters we're seeing in this game are either seniors or juniors to DR1's class. For all we know, the developers could have just thrown in Togami into the game just so that conclusion could be drawn, and then just throw something totally insane at us later in the game. Also, as a matter of fact, the fact that there's only one Super High-school Level Good Luck guy per year doesn't quite win me over: Naegi's title did change from Super High-school Level Good Luck (Bad Luck?) to Super High-school Level Hope at the end, so maybe he wasn't even a SHSL Good Luck to begin with? That's certainly a possibility. RandomYoshi fucked around with this message at 20:26 on Dec 29, 2012 |
