Hmm, it’s interesting how they mention the class trial before any murder happening. I think Trigger happy havoc is the only game that doesn’t do that. Which kind of makes the situation with Sayaka a bit different.
I was right, this was mentioned by Rei. Yet another thing that made the culprit of case 1 more irredeemable than Sayaka. And even Leon.
Sayaka is the only person in the entire series that attempts to kill without knowing about Class Trials. This makes her a little bit more sympathetic in my eyes, because unlike most other killers who were willing to sacrifice many people for their cause, she was only going to sacrifice one. Her motive was to save her friends, and from that perspective, one life against five is honestly somewhat understandable. Still bad, seeing as she had no way of knowing if she could save her friends, but the point I'm making is that she at least didn't want to kill the whole class, which is better than most killers.
It does however make her bloody 11037 message weird. The possible explanations we are given are that she either wanted to bring Leon to justice or make sure nobody suspected Makoto as the killer. Neither of these make sense as she was unaware that any of that would happen, as far as she knew, Leon would be let out immediately since he killed Sayaka. The only reasonable explanations I can think of under those circumstances are that either she was just so delirious she forgot how this all worked, or she did this to guarantee Leon got set free.
There aren't cameras in the bathroom, right? Maybe she figured that Monokuma couldn't truly know who killed Sayaka with no camera in the bathroom, perhaps it was accidental suicide or something. So she wrote down Leon's name, so Monokuma would then have proof it was him, and set him free. Which would be very kind of her, considering Leon killed her, although he probably killed for a similar reason she did so she might have been sympathetic?
Admittedly, her thinking all that before she died is unrealistic, but I prefer it as an explanation over just being delirious. Plus, it would give her some character that she desperately needs.
@@Seraserastria That’s wrong. She might not have known about the class trials or what would happen, but the rules still stated you needed to kill without being discovered. Meaning Leon would not have escaped, quite the opposite. The whole reason that she did the room switch was so people would think Makoto did it and she wouldn’t be discovered. So her motivation was as the game suggested. She wrote the dying message so Leon would be discovered and not be able to escape. She did this either to get back at Leon, or because she felt bad about betraying Makoto. The latter makes more sense to me personally since she clearly liked Makoto, and it was only once she saw the motive did she feel she had no choice but to do it. Plus the game implies the reason she failed to kill Leon was because she was conflicted, and it makes sense.
I never got around to this because I saw the first case and it wasn’t that good. But I’ll give it another shot.
I think this game was decent. All of the trials (minus the last one) were very good, and the cast was decent enough. The chapter 6 cast kinda surprised me, but all of them were really dope. I like how they basically took Byakuya and Nagito and had two similar characters present, really made the game interesting. Rest of the supporting cast was cool, particularly the chapter 4 cast. Absolute best chapter was 4, that shit is peak Danganronpa without a doubt, shit hurt to play. Controls were absolute trash, definitely an engine restriction, but it really hurt the experience. You mentioned the translation, yeah, it's not the greatest. Shoutout to the translator, but it needs a bit of a grammar touch up and it'll be perfect. Free time not being translated kinda sucks, but it's not the end of the world. Also wish there was voice acting, but that's just my preference. My Absolute biggest complaint is that the ending was kind of a letdown. Trying to avoid spoilers, but I'm really not a fan of the twist. I don't mind twists like those, but it just felt narratively unsatisfying. Tossing out a certain character just to replace them with another is kind of trash, especially when you're given a choice on what to do, and then told you made the wrong one like 2 minutes later. I'd deadass prefer the bad ending if it still let you continue playing. I don't quite know how I'd rate this game. I haven't played any other fan games yet, but compared to the original trilogy, it ain't bad. I think it needs some refinement, a few hours of gameplay could've been shaved off and made the game a lot more digestible. I'd recommend it if you are a die hard fan, those controls really bring down the experience for me.
I can certainly understand why you don't like the end twist. It goes a little crazy with what it does with the characters so it's definitely going to have mixed opinions
Loved the video
DR Another is in my list of games to try out for a while but i was almost getting rid of that idea because looked a bit too "fangamy" to me and i just don't trust the majority of the DR community to focus on interesting characters, story, gameplay instead of just weabb scenes and deaths.
But seeing this video made me want to give it a chance. You seemed to really like the story and the characters seemed at least interesting, even if i know probably will have some cringy interactions from time to time
Thanks and great video, even if simple, very helpful
I probably have a lower opinion on the game compared to most DR fans. I prefer all 3 of the mainline DR games to this but I was at least able to play this game to completion which tells me that I did enjoy my time with it overall
I reported the bots, but they still don’t leave.
