Are they referring to the incident when that certain person did that thing?' *out loud* Are you referring to the incident when that certain person did that thing?'

It's probably the translation getting too literal, as japanese has a bunch of words for similar things, like instead of just "that" to describe something somewhere else they have words for "That over there (nearby)", "This in here" "That thing waaaaay over there!" and in Japanese it probably sounds/reads more natural.

This game pulls this a lot, as well as the "I know what's going on but I'm just straight up not gonna tell you ![]() FPzero posted:Sorry

Part of that is localization, since Japanese doesn't really use pronouns like he/she/they. The fact that he doesn't just say the name(s?) of who's behind it is story-lengthening bullshit though. As another person who hasn't played the games myself, I'm really looking forward to the endgame reveal in here! I just hope it answers more questions than the first game did.

FPzero posted:If you decide you want to go through with it, feel free to PM me. I have a huge amount of resources for the game as well as ideas for how I would have handled the LP myself were I to go forward with it. I may also have advice for workflow and formatting since it's a huge undertaking, though you're obviously free to develop your own methods if you prefer. If that is the only thing preventing you from LP'ing V3, then I could help you out with making portraits with transparent backgrounds. I understand if you still don't want to. But I'm here to help out if you want me to. Also good LP fam, long time lurker.

How could Sonia have ever turned evil? That's the major flaw in this whole theory of the kids having been members of the Despair club. Like, everyone else, I could maybe see it. Well, Gundham and Nidai would also be a hard sell.

I mean, look at Mikan and how she turned out. Anything is possible man. Maybe Sonia isn't a princess. Maybe she's a queen. THAT kind of queen. And now we blame Kazuichi for it. drat YOU KAZUICHI ![]()

Sonia might well have broken down if her homeland fell. Same with Gundham and his animals. Losing something they cherish could easily have driven either to despair. Nidai is trickier to imagine. He's all about firing you up; what could drive him to espouse hopelessness?

FPzero posted:Honestly one of the biggest things that's currently preventing me from even wanting to try a V3 LP is the fact that of the sets of character sprites I have, one of them has all the sprites on black backgrounds, not transparent, meaning making the talking heads would be a pain unless I left in all the black backgrounds. Wow, to be honest I'd do that for you if needed. This kind of thing is very simply automated with ImageMagick or even Photoshop. Not that you should feel any pressure to LP V3 from that, but yes, that would be taken care of. ![]()

Yeah the VNBC is really cool but it's not how I'd recommend experiencing the game for the first time. You miss out on all the twists and drama bombs and so many little details.

I'm still really feeling like there's got to be another twist with the Ultimate Imposter. Just never sat right with me, 'oh btw there's somebody here we can't show a picture of and know nothing about who can convincingly impersonate anybody, not relevant at all though nbd it's all been resolved don't worry about it!'

This is silly because they’re at an age where they’d absolutely notice (not) being 2 years older even if other people couldn’t tell them they looked different. But it was sillier in the first one so whatever.

Not sure the point of this argument, but Fuyuhiko should have noticed a difference because he knew Peko beforehand.
