![]() ???: Hey... Can you hear me? ![]() ![]() ![]() ... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() White sandy beach... Crystal blue ocean... The sun's rays beaming down on me... This soft, tropical wind brushing my skin... I...definitely don't know what's going on... I was supposed to attend Hope's Peak Academy. Why did this...? Why...am I here at a place like this? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I have no idea what's going on. That's the only thing I can say with absolute certainty. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I guess it makes sense for there to be palm trees on a tropical island. That's a mighty fine palm tree... But now's not the time for me to be impressed by it... ![]() ![]() Why is there a monitor in a place like this? The screen is blank... What is this being used for? ![]() ![]() The crystal clear, shining blue sea... It's perfect for a tropical island... Just what's going on here? I never wanted anything like this at all... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() What's with this guy...? How can he be so calm in a situation like this? ...Maybe he's just a chill guy. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Chosen by a lottery... Is that really okay? I mean...is luck even a real talent in the first place? ...How strange. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Hmm... Nagito Komaeda, huh... He doesn't seem like the most reliable guy, but he doesn't strike me as a bad person either. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I opened my mouth but the words would not form. I felt my thoughts stalling in my head. As if I opened a book expecting to find words, and instead found blank pages. ...It was that kind of uncomfortable feeling. The memory I was trying to recall had completely vanished from my mind. ![]() Without realizing it, my body began to shudder as waves of discomfort began pounding against me... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() *Beep Boop* ![]() I hastily stuck my hand into my pocket. That's right... That strange, mechanical sound just now definitely came from the inside of my pocket. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ...Hope Fragments? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ...She's gone. A stuffed animal that moves, talks, and also appears wherever and whenever she wants... Regardless of who's actually controlling it, it still doesn't make any sense...! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So now he's decided to come with me... Well, I guess that's helpful for me. I know I'd worry if I was left on my own. ![]() ![]() ![]() But... Is this really okay...? To feel so relaxed in such a strange situation...? Perhaps it's the tropical climate? Or is it that...what's-her-name...Usami's fault? ![]() ![]() At any rate, if this is a nightmare, I have no idea if it's even started yet... Sheesh, what kind of nightmare is that...? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I'm sure my name was mentioned on there... It's not a mistake I was accepted into Hope's Peak Academy... ![]() ![]() So first I need to introduce myself to everyone else on this island, then... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Well, that explains Nagito Komaeda's name. He's Makoto, but less oblivious. So that would make us Kyoko, but not an rear end in a top hat. That sounds like a much better arrangement than the first game. Also, for those who don't know the significance of the island's name: Lewis Carroll posted:

That sounds like a much better arrangement than the first game. The initial relationship between the two is set up really well here, and Hajime reveals that he's really not going to be another Naegi, being more cynical and suspicious right off the bat than Makoto ever was.

I just remembered something from my own playthrough. You said we can talk about spoilers from this game so long as it's behind bars, right? (Spoiler for game in general) Could I request that you check the cabins of the most recent deaths at the start of every chapter, both killer and victim? There's some decent dialogue there, and it'd be a shame for the new viewers to not know about it. Also, at the start of the final chapter, check the cabins of everyone who has died. Since I haven't gotten around to saying it yet, I am also very glad that you are continuing on to this game. I'm mostly excited to see the reactions of people who never saw any further than orenronen's LP, since I bought the game myself when it came to Steam. Unfortunately, it seems that a lot of the other posters after that first update did the same! I do hope those of you who are new to the game, or at least the official English release, keep posting throughout the thread. I really enjoyed those posts in FPzero's DR1 LP.

I find it amusing that the In Media Res thing from the start apparently happens about five minutes later. I could make a lot of speculations based on all the incredibly suspicious things which have happened already, but pretty much everyone reading this could make the exact same speculations, so there's no point. Also strangely enough the map calling it "Jabberwock Island" is actually the game's interface kinda spoiling itself. EDIT: Wait, we're allowed to talk about spoilers for this game in bars? Is that just because FPZero thinks most people reading the thread have already played this? I would have expected a "no spoilers" rule for this game and future releases. Allowing spoilers just seems like a recipe for trouble. Look at Oblivion4568238's post: It's spoilers for this game, but there is absolutely ZERO CONTEXT - there's no clue for when that spoiler appears. Is it something I would know from seeing chapters 1 and 2 (and half of 3)? Beats me! Stabbey_the_Clown fucked around with this message at 02:47 on Oct 8, 2016 |

I agree with the spoiler thing. If we're allowing them, could we at least require black bar spoilers to have the chapter they're spoiling beside them?

Well, my intent was that it was a spoiler for the game in general, and that I was asking something of FPzero that shouldn't be checked by anybody who hasn't already played the game, but I see what you're getting at. I'll slap a direct warning on it. Also, I absolutely don't intend on abusing this, this one thing is just something I thought was important to say. I'm mostly just gonna sit back and watch the speculation, and I don't want to do anything to ruin that part of the thread. If I'd just had PMs, we wouldn't be in this mess! ![]() Oblivion4568238 fucked around with this message at 03:21 on Oct 8, 2016 |

I just wanna say that if I met someone irl who had hair like Komaeda I'd be playing with that poo poo because it looks so floofy. Floofy demands petting. It demands it. I liked Naegi a lot as a protagonist, but I'm also a big fan of Hajime. They're both great characters in my book.

Regarding spoilers, I made the policy as I did because I had assumed most people have played the game since the original LP by now, either on Vita or on PC. The posts this far seen to prove that. I was assuming people who haven't beaten the game would probably avoid clicking spoiler bars but I can institute a tagged spoilers policy if I need to. And regarding that spoiler above, I was unaware that there was text in those instances. I'll definitely check them out when we get there! Unrelated, I went home for the weekend so I'm away from my computer. Next update will be on Sunday.

On the "No spoilers about novels, the anime, etc" bit, I'm assuming that means nothing about Ultra Despair Girls either?

I guess I forgot to specify it (because I'd rather forget that game exists) but yes, UDG is also an off-limits topic. I'll make sure to add it to the list in the OP. e: Ah, yeah I just referred to it as "the sequel". I fixed that now. FPzero fucked around with this message at 05:20 on Oct 8, 2016 |

I am very happy you are doing this game too. Don't really have speculation yet, that will probably come once the plot gets going a bit more. Except, for the setting, it seems that the first classroom was a film set, or if not, there is drugs or magic involved. I really hope it's not magic, that would really mess with what is possible and not and for this game, I don't feel that would be very fun.

Thesaya posted:If you are implying what I think you are, you just inadvertently spoiled me. Please don't do that. It's a reference to Umineko, which has the protagonist adamantly deny the existence of magic and witches to the face of a witch. I do think that something very suspicious is going on here, but between too-obvious misdirects and exaggerated ANIME stuff, it's hard to be sure exactly what it is.

I've just played both these games and watched the DR3 anime, and I think my favourite line in the first game is when Makoto points out that the Crime scene was moved, and Togami just says "Well that was specific. Why did you phrase it like that?"

So I just marathoned FPzero's lp with the first Daganronpa, so all I'll say is I'm pumped to watch this all play out! I have no clue whats going to happen, since we're on an island, I'm assuming this is like a 30 hour long beach episode in an anime and everyone is going to have a fun time...right?

You know, if Gundam's mannerisms are the creepiest thing in this game I think we're gonna be alright. But I'm sort of scared that he'll try to summon Satan or something.

Yeah, I like Kazuichi too; he's kind of a dick, but in a very believable, actually teenager like way. And Gundham... Gundham is just a phenomenal character, and his name is a big reason why he's so great. Imagine, if you will, somebody who when asaked his name, never fails to stop, strike a pose, and say, dramatically and in all seriousness, "My name... is MORDENKAISER SMITH!!!" Exclamation marks included. Every-time he is asked. ![]()
