There were like three incomplete Phoenix Wright LPs, but now Mors Rattus is tearing through it like a machine. I believe in you, Prof. You can be the one to post the entire novel. Or at least more than 25% of it. IDK how many people are interested but still unspoiled, but come on and speculate if you are. My love for this book is pretty fierce, but I don't bite. Rodyle posted:also ew the PS3 sprites Yeah, they're a bit hard to get used to for me. The older women look 25 and a couple faces are real bad, but OTOH the old sprites could break the intended tone in some spots. No perfect options here.

JohnOfOrdo3 posted:I like how this looks like your avatar screaming this out of nowhere. You're in for one hell of a ride. Nobody likes the anime by comparison with the VN. I don't know that it's even the fault of the studio, since the story's form is unusually important and any adaptation would run into awkward problems.

ProfessorProf posted:The manga adaptation is actually very good. I plan to do some scene comparison posts at some point down the line. Whoops, I totally forgot about the manga. I think it fits into my idea of why an Umineko anime is a bit off, though I haven't actually watched the anime since it has such a poor rep. Of course there could be a much better show than what we actually got. My quibbles aren't super important.

Rodyle posted:I honestly like the existing visual more, it lets you see the background art better. Don't switch at all, imo. This. I don't know that the dialog box really improves the game at all.

bman in 2288 posted:Great. We've gone from one kind of insufferable to another. He's on the verge of death, his children can't stand him, and everything he worked for is going to be lost. Remember that the Japanese economy is going to sputter out a few years after 1986. It's only natural that he'd be diminished, a shadow of the man who built the house on Rokkenjima. Even Genji doesn't seem to pay attention to his mad rant, but it's worth taking a second look. Kinzo's Beatrice sounds pretty different from Battler's.

ProfessorProf posted:Personally, my favorite part of this scene is Kinzo's "They're not DOLLS they're ACTION FIGURES" attitude re: his grimoire collection. Krauss must be thankful Kinzo keeps his collection of tacky occult memorabilia in his office, and not in, like, a glass cabinet in the dining room. Just imagine trying to eat while he rambles about his latest find at a flea market.

tiistai posted:From what little I understand this stuff Battler uses aniki for George because he feels close to him and/or respects him. Rudolf either is used to calling Krauss aniki since youth or he wants to be straightforward and a little rude about addressing his brother (since he doesn't even use his name). Probably both. It's a fairly common way to address a familiar man in Japanese, even if he isn't literally your brother. John Lee posted:While I totally agree, I noticed something very unusual a little bit further in the game: It's actually, to me, introducing the characters very well. I could list off all the introduced characters and remember important personality traits about them without them feeling like caricatures. Pretty standard for a classical mystery, but not so much for Japanese Animes. The characterization is really good even in Episode 1, before the plot kicks off. Higurashi was your average VN with a mostly teenage cast, but Umineko gives a lot of attention to the parents. For someone coming from Higurashi it would be the most obvious difference at this point. I feel pretty bad for Krauss here at first. He had huge expectations piled on to him as Kinzo's firstborn and he's just so comically bad at business he can't fulfill them. Then he leaves Natsuhi in the lurch when she's trying so hard to defend him, and you remember he's also an rear end in a top hat.

ProfessorProf posted:After some of my past LP thread-running experiences, I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised that this one isn't full of people trying to defend Rosa's actions here. She hasn't done anything to make the reader like her, has she? This is the first scene where she does something to distinguish herself from the other siblings.

Qrr posted:Well, Maria actually having some kind of mental disability makes more sense. But in story no one seemed to notice til now. I suppose the others wouldn't bring it up because it's not polite and battler wouldn't notice because he's not very smart. Remember that the LP format is stretching out the book. This is still quite early in the story, and the cousins haven't really been around Maria for very long.
