tfw when you snipe a 2 and a half month old post... At any rate, they bungled it enough to have to make an extra plot arc just to make everything fit together. And I'm not a fan of the old character art style.

I'm assuming it should only be watched by people that have finished it, right? Also, ugh another reminder that I still need to finish Umineko. Time, where art thou?

OK I watched it and without love it can't be steamed killed me. One thing is that subsume who watches should be at least through chapter 3 to get everything. Also, I'm pretty sure there are music spoilers for 7 and/or 8 as I don't recognize the intense track

There is a new trailer for the upcoming Higurashi anime. It appears that the Onikakushi and Watanagashi will have 13 chapters based on its scheduling, which would be a big improvement over the original anime's 8.

Ooh, Umineko speculation! Keep it up! It wasn't too long ago that I was in my Umineko liveblogging days. In chapter 3 (not a spoiler to you) I was absolutely stumped at the end of chapter 3. EVA-BEATRICE's red web did a good one on me.

Yeah it is nice (Higurashi Chapter 2) to see the gang back together and hanging out again. I definitely want to hear Higurashi thoughts during/after chapter 3.

psychoJ posted:lateish chapter 7 of higurashi: kind of weird to me that nobody doesn't come up with the idea of just getting a huge mob of people in front of satoko's house to scare the poo poo out of teppei. like at this point, when child services just flat out refuses to do anything, it definitely seems like it'd be a smarter use of time and energy. but hey, the sonozaki yakuza just showed up to save the day so that's cool i guess I think a big thing with Higurashi is about doing things the "right" (but proactive) way. Working around the system can lead to unforseen consequences. In just this example, what if he hurts Satako in retaliation, or uses her as a hostage? What if he fights back and kills someone?

The golden rule of Umineko is never ever ever google anything about it or use any website involving it until you are done. Even music can have spoilers in the images of the related videos.

Yeah, I also don't like How if you search for events, it will give you really unfun loadouts, like an 11 person game with 4 Gnosia, with you being one.

I've been meh on it, but I guess I haven't been paying enough attention to tells. The only thing I have noticed so far is (spoiler of a tell) that Gina will always strongly hint that she is gnosia if you visit her before sleep. There are certainly personality traits of picked up on, but not any real tells.

Ytlaya posted:Gnosia question that just came to mind and wasn't that clear from the in-game FAQ - do the "Agree/Defend/etc" follow-up dialogue options contribute to the hidden "players will get suspicious if you talk too much" metric? The FAQ mentions that they are safer and have lower impact, but it's not clear how much safer. Subjectively they don't seem to do much and other players usually only get on my case if I've directly spoken up 2+ times during a round. Seems to me that so long as you don't speak up directly more than once, they probably won't get on your case about it. Also seems to be on a scale on their character opinions. No one will say anything if you are confirmed, and your allies won't care. So if you speak up like twice, maybe one or two people that hate you will note it, but it shouldn't be too bad with good charm Also, its interesting to see how you value intuition, since that is my build's dump stat! My character relies on high stealth and charm to stay alive, then persuasion and logic to get people to be persuaded. I don't get any instant confirms (well, I did exactly once somehow with my 1 intuition LOL), but its something I can deal without. Besides, its not super useful as gnosia, especially since sometimes the event search will give you games without an AC or bug. MegaZeroX fucked around with this message at 02:18 on Mar 8, 2021 |

Tuxedo Catfish posted:And above all there's the incredibly long sequence in chapter 8 where a whitewashed, obviously fraudulent version of the Ushiromiyas is paraded in front of Ange. Ange's dissatisfaction with this obvious lie is presented as a moral failing. The "trick or magic" prompt is a simple question with an obvious correct answer: it's a trick. It's not a question of not investigating sufficiently as with Natsuhi. It's either swallow the lie whole or deny it, no other options. The actual "trick" ending has Ange acting with a willful disregard for the truth, yes, but she got there by choosing the true answer, and the scene has to be interpreted with that context in mind. First of all, I don't reay get what you mean by the fact that Angie acts with a disregard of the truth in the Trick ending. Amakusa was pretty much clearly stated to be doing exactly as Angie described in the ending, and the captain was a real possibility, and given a priority of survival, she acts in her self interest. But also, the point I think that is made to be the moral failing is how it dominates her life. It isn't that she needs to accept some whitewashed image of her family, it is that she both holds a strongly negative view of them and the events of Rokkenjima while simultaneously making that the center of her life. The whitewashed image is just a counter to it. Yes there were certainly many many problems with them, but there were also bright spots, forgotten in the years of agonizing. The moral of the story I would say is to ask "why do you seek the truth" and honestly take a real clear look at how it is effecting your mental health and the rest of your life, which is something we often fail to consider when evaluating what we should do. The Trick Ending is meant to be a reflection of the other answer. Angie doesn't want to forgive and ignore the (murderous) failing of those around her, and she shouldn't be required to. Instead, she (literally) charts her own way forward, with the facts that she has. MegaZeroX fucked around with this message at 04:24 on Mar 19, 2021 |

Tuxedo Catfish posted:
I still feel like there is a disconnect here. Angie's story isn't about lying to yourself, it's about not digging deeper. It's letting sleeping dogs lie. She doesn't need to answer "magic" because she believes it is magic. She can answer that to let it end unanswered. You could argue Maria's story does, but even then, it largely exists to be something to reflect the ultimate idea with Angie. Does she make herself miserable with an external it to get life or let it go. And despite how media often frames it, avoidance through jogging, meditation, and other activities can be positive, as opposed to something like drug abuse or binge eating. And in the context of the magic ending, Angie largely focuses on pursuing a passion, which is a perfectly healthy form of avoidance.

Let us know what you think of Root Film. All I know is that people generally didn't like Root Letter and that the current 2 ratings for Root Film give it a 7/10 while the average for Root Letter is 5.8/10 (which is particularly low for vndb).
