I didn't see anything about this meta stuff, anyone wanna explain it to me?
Holy shit that's awesome.MAJOR spoilers, only click if you're ready
DRv3 takes place in a universe where DanganRonpa is a reality show. Spanning across 53 seasons, the "students" are merely contestants who signed up on the show. Kaede in particular's interview video she used has her talking about how she would be "good at DanganRonpa" because she doesn't trust anyone. Shit just goes completely off the rails by the end too.
The whole thing is just this brutal takedown of how people get pleasure from seeing a bunch of teens kill each other / get murdered in brutal ways. You sick fucks!
Holy shit that's awesome.
Do the characters still actually die or is it just part of the show and nobody actually dies?
The cast of V3 can die a thousand deaths for all I care if what I read ends up being true
Possible Backstory Spoilers?
The game takes place in an alternate reality/timeline where Mondo Chihiro and MOTHER FUCKING CHIAKI survive their respective killing games
Ah, alrightStill dead. This is an EXTREME reality show. Like the running man?
That is fucking incredible
also quoting myself
BEST GIRL CHIAKI LIVES?
That is a partial lie. Danganronpa is a reality tv show series in this universe. DRV3....is the 53rd Danganronpa game held so far.

Wait so DRV3 is actually????MGS2
I'm confused. Did DR1 and DR2 not happen in the universe? I saw some spoilers saying that it's completely fiction, but then the survivors are different?
So then I gotta askare the Ultimate talents just handed out randomly or is there any rhyme or reason to it. IE Kaede likes the piano, Chiaki likes videogames etc
Even when you're following spoilers, DRv3 is a fucking ride. Based Kodaka.
DR1 and DR2 were seasons 1 and 2 of the DanganRonpa reality show, in the DRv3 universe.

It would be insane if these logos were actually the real ones for future games.
One of the more fascinating angles to how this played out for me - as a reality TV enthusiast - are the parallels one can draw from what went on in DRV3 (where people are wholesale transformed into a character archetype to serve a production end) versus what we see in reality shows like Survivor (where larger than life personalities are cultivated into a specific edit to "tell a story" - even if it betrays who they are, what their personalities are actually like and what moves they made when playing the game).
I've always railed against production tampering (one reason I'm grateful for live feeds in a show like Big Brother where I can assess gameplay free from production interference in what is an otherwise unwatchable show) but something like V3 shows that an evolution of that could be much worse. And yet the angle Kodaka explored here opens up a fascinating possibility of what happens when a manufactured personality gains self-awareness of their true self that's been rewritten and what they're able to take away from both to move forward. It's like everyone here went through an Izuru-type reconditioning... all for the sake of a game show.
Of course, it's even more twisted in terms of how this twist is rolled out in that the manufactured personality you adopt is the direct opposite of your real one. That's damned insidious.
It IS a shame that the earlier optimism that the Chapter 1 bait and switch was necessary for a character redemption arc for Kaede as part of some carefully orchestrated master plan to trap the mastermind. Sadly that was not to be.
FUCKThat is a partial lie. Danganronpa is a reality tv show series in this universe. DRV3....is the 53rd Danganronpa game held so far.

She has no motive for murder. She was set up as a sacrificial lamb for Amami's murder by Korekiyo Shinguji.So if the previous spoilers are fake, what are Kaede's actual motives for murder? Do you actually play the whole first chapter trying to get away with murder?

My expectation is that we'll be a lot more receptive to the ending here than other segments of the Danganronpa community. Whether people were upset at having their invented spoilers dashed, at the whole meta-commentary on the Danganronpa fanbase, not being able to fully grasp the concept of this being an alternate universe like Digimon Tamers (everything that took place prior is as valid as it always was), feeling like they only got to know some fabricated lie about these characters because they were completely different before being given manufactured personalities for the V3 killing game, that Kaede was ultimately a throwaway scapegoat that had been put up on a pedestal and they felt betrayed by that or some combination of the above... it's hard to say which variable has provoked the most outrage. By and large, I think most of the criticism is being directed at the game not satisfying some rooted misconceptions of what DRV3 should be versus it failing in its execution.I read there's a lot of backlash to the ending actually.

So Kodaka on Twitter has suggested replaying the prologue after the game to catch something interesting.

Most people think he's talking about the CG showing Kaede's kidnapping which contradicts with the mastermind's claims that the were willing participants. Shuichi mentions his disbelief that people would willingly put themselves through the killing game in the epilogue and the prologue might have confirmed that.
Seems like a perfectly willing participant to me.Because no CGs were leaked until people got the game everyone missed this big thing that happens right at the beginning:

Of course, this raises the question...why go through the effort to brainwash the players TWICE? Kidnap them, brainwash them, program them to be avid Danganronpa fans that volunteer for a killing game for a variety of reasons, brainwash them again, retrofit them with talent archetypes and personalities that apparently go a full 180 of how they naturally behave (or, at least, opposite of how their first brainwashed persona touted), set out to have them kill one another only to pull the veil off from Brainwashing #2, confront them with their fabricated Brainwashing #1 purported reality and point out "ha ha, you really volunteered for this and here's proof, how do you like them apples?"
Man, I feel silly for overlooking that obvious detail myself. Then again, we still have to question the rationale behind it.Edit:
Now I feel kinda silly.
I forgot what our mastermind can do. She can imitate anyone perfectly down to their voices, including even males. She could have just filmed the tapes herself.
