Pretty sure that's because the 15 participants in V3 were selected in some kind of sweepstakes so they are real people, while the 1-2 characters are completely made up. That's what I thought at least

Or it could be a lie.

Yeah, but the game goes all in: like, all in on driving home the whole"YOU'RE FICTIONAL CHARACTERS!" thing that to have that one little technicality seems kinda...lame.

As far as only being able to cosplay dead people, that would imply that every survivor from the first 2 games had died in the 50 or so years since their killing games: not implausible I suppose but...I dunno. Assuming of course they weren't 100% made up.

Mayer she can control that cospox effect and just used it to trick everybody since they couldn't have dismissed the possibility of her disguising herself to kill Rantaro in the first trial without it, I dunno.

Ultimately her shifting between all the characters from the first two games was so fucking bananas I don't wanna harp too much on this, but I guessed o can't help myself.

Honestly, yes. That's what I want the most.

...Well, that, and a baller remix of Scrum Debate music.

So here's what I'd want from a hypothetical next Danganronpa:
- New storyline (just don't be connected to Hope's Peak at all, PLEASE)
- Female main protagonist (half because I know I'd fall in love with her within a couple chapters let's be honest)
- Definitely mix up the structure of the murders.
- Change up the characterization, too many characters are one-note (V3 was especially bad).
- Just let us become the blackened and try to lie our way out/come clean, preferably in chapter 5.
- An ending twist that isn't the disillusioning kind of bullshit but the fun, entertaining kind of bullshit (V3 pulled this off)
Click to expand...

I actually agree with most, if not all of that.

Again, I really do want to see more games in the DR series. I'm selfishly not ready to say goodbye yet :p. And I can totally see why DR V3's ending was polarizing. But what made me happy was that it wasn't a letdown for me (like Zero Time Dilemma sort of was for the Zero Escape Series =/ ).
But I do agree that the whole Hope's Peak/Junko/FF stuff has kind of been beaten into the ground, so I would love to see them do something new with the next game.

It's funny you mention the structure of the killings. I totally didn't even clue in that they followed the same structure throughout the series (double murders in case 3 every time, case 4 the victim wanting to die etc). It actually does frustrate me a bit to clue into that LOL. I would definitely love to see a different structure.

I really do want a female protagonist *for real* for the next potential game. I know it seems trite, but I was really looking forward to having one, and she was taken away from us at the very beginning of the game LOL. And I did really like Kaede (her character's personality/design etc was awesome). So I'm hoping for another shot at a female protagonist.

I've been listening to the OST and hearing them without the action really let's me hear the remixes in full and they're so good.

I somehow agree lol. Got the machinegun skill from the demo, and much of the game was really easy for me too. The mysteries for the most part felt either boring or simple to me also- most were easy (I'll admit I'm impressed by the seesaw trick). That's almost a pleasant surprise though because I feel I'm absolutely shit at solving mysteries.

I generally enjoy non-stop debates in all of the games, lying was somewhat hard for me to figure out yet somehow still underutilized. Apparently there was a musical cue but I usually could tell by what Shuichi said at the end before it reset.

I enjoyed Debate Scrums even though sometimes the split opinion would be like 2v5 and also the triple non stop debates. I like the way the final argument was done with unlocking panels.

Minigames wise this is the best. None of them are difficult but I'd prefer that over being bullshit. Psyche Taxi is absurdly easy, l never failed to hit the right one a single time. Mind Mine is ok. Nu-Hangmans Gambit isn't total shit but the wording is still awkward one or two times. Clashing swords is fine. Argument Armament is fine and at least cool to look at, I just wish it was easier to read what they are saying. The last one with Keebo fucking ruled.

I played on Mean/Mean difficulty and never completely failed or ran out of time.

Although underutilized, I actually really liked the concept behind the lying mechanic. Made things kind of interesting and a different approach to reach the truth. I hope future games keep this mechanic, and maybe polish it up a little bit.

The only mini game I really couldn't stand was psyche taxi tbh :/ I loved the music for it so much, but that was the one mini game that just took waaaayyyyy too long every time. If it was shorter I think I'd like it more.

Yep Psyche Taxi is not only extremely obvious and easy but slow as hell too. Just a wash minigame.

Then again I'm finding it impossible to S Rank Mean Psyche Taxi in the casino for the trophy

Right. I just feel like no mini game during a class trial should take THAT long to get through each time. At least hangman's gambit and mind-mine (can't remember if that's actually what it's called) are relatively quick to move on from and continue with the story.

... Just need to use the psyche-taxi music somewhere else in the game and i'll be happy :p

My favorite Danganronpa minigame is trying to figure out which present every character likes the most. I have no idea what Rantaro wants.

Who wants these Enamel Boots from the casino so they can step on me? Its gotta be Miu or Kirumi. I ended up giving Maki like 8 rice blocks for kids and she never got tired of them. I figured if I give her assassin things it would be negative and child care stuff positive. I haven't tried Tenko yet but itd be funny if she'd hate everything you gave her because "danshi"

If it has monokuma it kind of ruins everything, no thanks.

All I want from the series is weird what if spinoff stuff. Like the post game but more developed.

You could get rid of Monokuma but I doubt they will. Thatd be like getting rid of Jason in a Friday the 13th movie. Yes I know they did that and then immediately backpedaled on it

But Monokuma specifically says we were idiots for thinking it wasn't connected to Hopes Peak once he showed up because whenever he shows up its Danganronpa :p

Also neither his US or Japanese voice is as good anymore and he was executed. Monokuma, retire bitch.

Monokuma is the mascot tho. They even make several references about it throughout the game. I am curious if they're able to make another entry without him. Seriously, they need to come up with something new for him.

If they were gonna retire Monokuma they would've when his original VA - the voice actor for Doraemon, which is like 90% of the joke for him - retired because she's like 80. If they kept going I think he's here forever.

Along these lines, do you guys think we can expect a next DR game? Or do you think V3 marks the end of the series, game-wise?
Click to expand...

To be honest I think DR is finished after this. Team Danganronpa is working on something else now anyway aren't they? Zanki Zero?

However, Zanki Zero is probably a sequel and could very well be the new trend for the outside world to enjoy since Danganronpa is finished.

Same here. They were totally pointless, didn't even contribute to the overall plot. And their conversations just dragged on in the middle of class trials when I just wanted to know the plot twists lmao

The opinion seems to be sorta split down the middle. I thought it was the end of the series, but the final scene after the credits definitely leaves it open to something else should they so choose. I guess all we can do is see.

This is the first time I've heard of Zanki Zero. I should look into it..

Easy, play the fish mini game from the casino on mean difficulty. Look for missiles with monokubs, those give 1000 points, so getting an S rank is easy.

Also any tips for Outlaw? I can only get B at most and it's irritating.

In salmon rush theres the regular bombs then ones with monodam on em strapped with rope, you need at least two of those for an S rank on mean which is 10x your coins

It does require a bit of a fine observation, if you catch ropes on the missiles, then those are it because the monokub is tied to the missile with the rope.

I only play the fish minigame unfortunately.

They def stepped it up with the sex jokes in this game. I actually found it refreshing how straightforward they were with them.

I think they were making fun of soap operas but really at that point I don't give a crap. They fill up so many lines. Can you imagine how many hours this game would be cut if they weren't there? The only times I found them funny was during trial 6.

Now way dude, they're all hilarious. Monotaro and Monophanie don't stand well on their own but even then I was dying over the "mom" stuff and the vomit. And then when they all come back and white noise HELL YEAHs are everywhere?

Argument Armament is probably the worst mini-game in this. Psyche Taxi is just pointless filler.

I ended up just skipping through a lot of their dialogue. It was garbage that contributed nothing to the game.

The only one to make me chuckle was Teruteru's "Don't pull out of the game! Only losers pull out". I prefer double entendres to random mentions of body parts.

Nonstop debate and its variants are fun. The rest yeah, I could do without. Even closing argument was kind of obnoxious in V3, those damn animations took forever to play out and you can't skip through them. After a long trial going through every detail, I don't need to see it all played out in slow motion.

You think the rhythm game in V3 is better than in DR1 and DR2? I think it's definitely worse than the previous games. The music doesn't change, and it's barely rhythmic. In DR1, at least it felt like it was a very watered down rhythm game.
