Danganronpa

What's the best danganronpa game if you were only going to play one of them? It's my brother's birthday tomorrow and I want to get him one of them since he wanted to try them, leaning towards 2 or 3 since the first one doesn't look like it's aged too well.
Which one has the best cases/cast? I haven't played them either so I have no idea, but from what I've seen around here 2 and 3 seem to be more well received.
Also are there any important plot points that you would miss if you played them out of order?

It's almost mandatory to play the games in order. Don't be a nigger and start with the first one.
V3 is the best one

Play them in order, all the games plots are connected. Also the first game not aging well is a ridiculous statement

Play them in order.
DR2 is best game and V3 is worst game.

play them in order you absolute retard, DR1 is the best one

1 is the best, v3 is pretty great too. 2 is absolute trash until the last couple chapters(which are admittedly extremely good) and its existence ruins the entire message of the first game's ending.

Play them in order. Don't play despair girls, it's definitely up there for worst game I've ever played.

1 you oaf. Why would anyone start a story-heavy series at anything but the first game?

2>3>1 you mouth breathing retards

>3
There is no Danganronpa 3. They jumped straight from 2 to 53 unless you count the spinoff.

Why?

V3 is weak compared to 1 and 2.

2 had the worst cast by far

I’ve only played 1 so far but it’s really good. I kinda spoiled myself by watching the anime first stay away from that.

Hope Guy from 2 was more entertaining than the entire cast of V3 put together.

1 > 2 > 3

You need to play them in order, feel free to skip Ultra Despair Girls or the anime though, they aren't really good.

Start with 1 then.

Also V3 is the best one and people who shit on the ending are brainlets.

>Ouma was more entertaining than the entire danganronpa 1, 2 and that shitty animes cast put together
FTFY

Best Guys: 2
Best Girls: 3

The second to last case of 2 is the best case in the series.
I fucking love that guy

Play them in order. The story is super important

>2 completely shits on the first game
>v3 completely shits on the entire series
Whats with this series and hating itself?

2 has the highest highs and the lowest lows, but the highs are strong enough to carry it.
Highs:
>Hajime
>Chiaki
>Fuyuhiko
>Peko
>Gundham
>Mikan
Lows:
>Hiyoko
>Ibuki
>Mahiru
>Nekomaru
>Akane

What was wrong with Hiyoko and Nekomaru?

V3's best game. And play them in order. Don't trust people who love 2

>mikan a fucking high
>CHADmaru and ibuki low
Legendary shit taste

Its cast was the only one where I liked more than 5 of the characters.

I don’t get it why not just have him play all 3? Why one specific one? If you don’t play them in order you won’t understand any of the self aware jokes where they make fun of the previous games.

This. It was filled with retards minus like 3 characters.

>Mahiru
>Hiyoko
>Nekomaru
>Low
Get outta here.

If you can only play 1, get him 1. DR2 and V3 won't make sense without it.

With Nidai? Absolutely nothing. He's a bro.

As for Saionji, it's her own fault for being this bulliable. And to be honest, I want to bully Saionji very very much. I want to scold her to tears and throw her into pool. I want to take her gummies and eat them in front of her. Then I'll force-feed her with lemon-flavored gummies, palm after palm. I want to call her a stinky and take her panties so she has to going commando for the rest of the trip. I want to mock her inability to put her kimono by herself, so I'll strip her every once in a while, yelling what one day, she'll be glad to be able to dress up herself. Also, I'll take her kitty hairpins, making her long blonde hair cover her private parts. And when I'll give kimono back to her, I'll make sure to put Mr. Ants in every single pleat and Mr. Crab in her panties.

And when finally she snaps and try to bully me by any means possible, I'll spank her in front of everyone until she'll like it. And when she'll come to me, begging for another spanking, I'll mock her again, then spank her as if my life depends on it, laughing on her moans full of pleasure. Mere seconds before her climax, I'll throw her into pool once again, leaving her in her aroused state.

Hiyoko is a totally irrelevant character. She does absolutely nothing throughout the game and her insults are only acknowledged with eeks from Mikan. She's just poorly written.

Nekomaru is similar, but he's mainly weighed down by Akane's atrocious writing. He spends the majority of the game with her, but she never learns anything from him even after he sacrifices himself for her. I wish they would have done more with Nekomaru, but they didn't.

Teruteru should be in low and "Byakuya" should be in high. based imposter deserved better

The series doesn't hate itself, that's just what brainlets who don't understand the endings think.

I'll give you Hiyoko. She's the kind of character where it feels like they're leading up to something interesting with her but then she gets the most irrelevant and unceremonious death in the game and nobody really gives a shit.

Forgot those two, but yes I'd place them in those respective spots.

Teruteru's a way better first culprit than 11037 or Kaedead.

Her death would have been better if it had been Mikan snapping after her constant insults, but instead they just wrote a cop out and said she walked in on her killing Ibuki. So just as she starts to get any development, they kill her.

Teruteru fucking sucked
The only good first case in the series is V3 because of the Protagonist gimmick and the fact you revisit it in the end.

What was wrong with case 2-1?

God I wish Akane died. What a terrible character

I haven't played v3. It's really hard to choose v1 or v2. I like the setting and characters more in v1 (the ones in v2 are too cartoonish), while v2 had better mini-games and its fifth case was my all-time favorite.

I liked Rantaro in V2, I'm really glad they brought him back

Case 2-1 was great you fucking brainlet.
Was straight up a classic mystery dinner murder scenario.

Looking back, it's kinda weird how every murder in the first game happened in the first half.

I liked how for once pretty much the entire cast was at least semi-relevant in some way (except for Hiyoko but fuck Hiyoko).

To be honest, they completely rewrotten her backstory at the last minute, since she was supposed to be "Ultimate Sinner". Of course a character with zero work on it would be bad.

I really enjoyed how in v1 how the 3rd case murder was the mastermind, and how in the 5th trial if you dont reply to this post your mother will die in her sleep

Okay I like 2 a lot but you can't say that Peko was relevant when her contribution to the case was due to the mondo shits she was taking.

The Ultimate Gardener's execution was kino as fuck, too.

>tfw akane will never look at you like this.

Ah yeah, there weren't any murders in chapters 4 or 5 at all, meanwhile 2 and V3 went balls to the wall insane for their chapters 4 and 5 murders.

>Akane is headstrong and tries to fight Monokuma
>Monokuma about to vaporize her until Nidai blocks it
>Nekomaru almost dies and has to be transformed into a robot
>Nekomaru gets killed because he's a robot with a literal off switch
>Akane doesn't learn from her mistake and immediately proceeds to nearly murder Nagito
Yet, somehow this big tittied retard survives to the end. Writer's pet.

She should have been the victim instead of Mahiru.

Yeah, I couldn't believe she was the murderer either. Who would have thought she could have taken down the Ultimate Sumo Wrestler?

You wanna talk about the Ultimate Judge?
I thought it would be a cool addiction to the cast and he ended up being a fucking jobber, Team Danganronpa really fucked that character up

In chapter 2?

Mahiru is another character they could have written better. She has great FTE, but they killed her off way too quick and there could have been some serious potential with her role in Kuzuryu's sister's death.

Reminder that Mikan is canonically a massive slut and Hiyoko was right all along.

If you can only play one, play DR1. I’d recommend playing them all in order: The sequels are great, but somewhat rely on you having played the previous games. Going backwards from later entries is rough.

Completely disregard Ultra Despair Girls, it’s not very good and adds nothing to your experience. Same goes for the Danganrompa anime: The two series retroactively ruin the first and second games, as well as just being bad.

I think the worst character was the Ultimate Chessplayer. He was just way too much wasted potential and you'd think a chess champ wouldn't have killed someone so quickly while knowing the rules.

Yeah

Also really liked how in 23, they revealed that monokuma has terminal pancreatic cancer and has 1 month to live. Causing the killing game to end early.

Do we have a pasta for each Danganronpa character?

23 was a shitshow, what a way to waste a killing game

Now 46, that was some KINO shit
The fourth case in particular was the best case in the entire series.

say what you will, but the atmosphere of 1 is kino as fuck. 2 may have a more fun cast and everything but 1 was still so grounded in reality that everything actually felt somewhat realistically spooky and hopeless until the plot went full retard at the last case and everything in the series stopped having any stakes.

Remember in 35 when they fucked up the cameras and it was just a constant loop of the Ultimate Fencer's closet? They still never apologized for that.

How'd it stop having stakes in the last case?

Nah I skipped that one cause I was rewatching the older seasons.
I only remember people pretending that only being able to see the Fencer's closet was some deep artistic point from the writers, what a load of bull.

For half of them it feels like they just pulled some gimmicks out of a hat and pasted them together

1 had the fucking ultimate moral compass and fanfic writer

You try to find other talents after this many games

We also had to revisit Detective a few times now

I'm surprised they haven't done a plant themed talent yet, like florist or gardener or whatever.

It was awful. Tuning in every episode with just footage of him taking out a sweater and they never changed it. We still don't even know who won. It was almost as bad as 29 where the set accidentally burned down during the first trial, killing all the contestants.

i feel like that was part of the point that by this point they really were scrapping the bottom of the barrel since the show has been going on for so long, heck they even reused detective.

That's because you are playing a shitty translation. It's supposed to be

Yeah that translation still bothers me. Like, I get it that Ultimate flows better but the long title kind of lamp-shaded the ridiculousness of the scenario and with ultimate there is the implication that they are the best at what they do when in reality they are just the best at the high school level which is why you can have multiple detectives or moral committee members, etc

so vulgar

She spends most of case 2 as the pseudo-defendant, even if it's obvious she's not the killer.

Her only real contribution to that case is just that she doesn't eat lemon flavored gummy bears.

I don't even disagree with V3 being better, because I didn't care about it. But if you were going to shit on anything, it should have been 2 for having the weakest writing in the games.

I like how none of her sprites express significant negative emotion of any kind.

2 is great at its best and awful at its worst. 1 is consistently in between those two extremes. 2-5 is better than anything in 1, but 2-3 is worse than anything in 1.

Bye-onara!

1 had the weakest cases in terms of murder solving. Pretty much every culprit was an idiot and you could almost always figure them out right away.

Well...you're not wrong. Although I think 1-3 was worse than 2-3. because Celes actually had potentially.

What would you consider to be 2's worst parts, out of curiosity?

DR1 is the best introduction to the series

It's the only one that plays the concept straight, all of the other have a level of meta irony to them based on knowing the first game

1-1 < 2-1
1-2 > 2-2
1-3 = 2-3 both are shit
1-4 > 2-4
1-5 < 2-5

2 had more innovative cases, but I wouldn't say they were better. Peko and Mikan especially were easy to solve before you even get down to the trial. The others were harder, but trial 4 is a damn slogfest. 2-1 and 2-5 were kino though.

1 is the only soulful one.

Perfect.

Celeste feels like she could've made for a really entertaining rival and/or late-game killer, but what we got was just "lulz double murder with the most blatant and moronic frame job in existence, also I'm going to completely lose my shit the second a sliver of suspicion is placed on me even though half my talent is themed around saying calm and collected under pressure."

>1-4 > 2-4
The others I get, by why that one?

The problem with DR2 is that it shit the bed on the killing game. It was fun and damn good at subverting how DR1 handled things (ex: closed school to giant tropical resort), but look at 2 as a standalone and the writing falls apart.

Mostly the characters, some of them are really bad. The motives don't feel relatable either. 2-3 and 2-4 were straight up just bullshit where Monokuma literally forces them to kill, instead of just pushing them to the edge. The ending being Junko again was really disappointing too.

I would have liked to see her not go through with the plan to kill Hifumi. So he gets blamed for Taka's murder and she still gets to live.

>OP asking for help on what game to get
>user gives reason why he should get the first one

Where does the writing fall apart, pretentious-kun?

All games are connected and they should be played in order. Danganronpa 2 is my favourite because of the setting, the characters and the atmosphere.

It's a close call, neither are particularly great. But 1-4 had some emotional moments, and 2-4 had some bullshit moments.

Not him, but 1-4 was kino. Byakuya gets completely BTFO as a continuation of the shit he pulled in 1-2. Asahina who'd been totally ineffectual up until that point went nuclear and tried to kill everyone. The emotional build up from Sakura being revealed as the traitor from early on and then learning she killed herself. Killing game officially ends there. Emotionally and thematically it was strong. The trial for 2-4 itself is uninteresting and drawn out. Only Gundham's philosophy and motive was memorable. Chapter 4 might've been the worst in DR2 if not for the segment we get to play as Nagito, admittedly one of the high points in the game.

I liked Rebuttal Showdowns, though DRV3's improved them a lot.

This is the objective list for tasteless niggers who have half a brain missing.

That probably would've just resulted in everybody beating the shit out of her the second the trial ended.

V3 has the best ending in the series. Prove me wrong.

Yeah so you should bully OP, not the ones telling him to get the first one and the reasons why because apparently OP is too stupid to realize it

1 - 4 is something different, it makes you think out of the box, as the victim is the killer too. 2 - 4 has a very interesting and thrilling set up, but the actual murder and mystery is underwhelming.

Loved v3 till the midpart then hated it. Maybe best start of the series with 1. I guess 1>2>3 if I were to choose. ! and 2 are closer than 2 and 3

>least substance
V3 exists. Half the characters are flanderized to the point of being obnoxious in V3. Not saying DR2 doesn't have some really weak characters, but V3 has a worse cast.

V3's problem wasn't a flanderized cast. The problem was that the first half to die were almost all the interesting ones.

So what would the cutoff be for when they go from interesting to not interesting?

Absolutely low IQ and brainlet post

The plot in V3 starts to become tedious in chapter 3, right when you realize you're seeing the same shit you've already seen twice over.

I meant as in characters. Which characters did you consider to be the interesting ones?

>flanderized
>v3's cast

you keep using that word, i don't think you know what that word means.

DR2's cast is hot garbage except for hopeman

DR can't really age desu. Its one of those games like pheonix wright so that's a rather moot point.

definitely play DR 1 first. Its a really good game and you'll also want to play them in order.

Yeah that would mean that most of the characters in V3 would have to have any characterization.

How is V3 worse than 2 or 1?

>Posts objective critiques

Why did you even reply in the first place, shitposter-kun? Just quietly disagree and don't waste my time.

They are both pseudo-meta twists but SDR2 didn't overstay its welcome, actually made a cool use of that with the final glitch world and in general much better presentation.

I agree with this. I also felt they could have done something with the student counsel dynamic surrounding Angie, but then she is just dead and it's totally forgotten about. V3 is just wasted potential.

Attached: junkoblur.png (710x560, 379K)

I don't think V3 is worse, but I can certainly understand why people do. V3 was a concept game, not a practical one. Chapters 2 through 5 were hollow and redundant. Legitimately felt like filler at several points.

>Simulation setting diminishing the impact of the killing game because nobody actually died
They literally tell you in the game that all dead characters had their mind erased and it's impossible to get them back. It was anime that revived them all.

well that and flanderization can really only be applied to long running or previously existing characters, a character in a single entry can not be flanderized because that requires them to appear more than once.

Ya its weird how you dont want anyone to be the killer in v3 because they are interesting. Like in dr1 no one cares if leon or mondo died. Celeste was the most interesting killer and sakura was just physically ugly to look at. Again for 2, who cares about teruteru, peko, or mikan. Gundham and chiaki being killers gives those chapters more weight because they are better characters.

But in v3 you are left with brainlets and memelords as anyone quiet and interesting is the killer. Himiki and maki are the worst characters in the game yet they get to live. Fucking LAME

Not sure about best, but it does recontextualize the rest of the series in a way that I found entertaining. I can see why people wouldn’t like it, but it made for a wild last hour of that game and that’s all I wanted.
I can understand saying that the first two casualties were interesting, but I personally couldn’t gather a single mote of interest in anyone who died in cases 2 or 3.

Maybe, but the gameplay, characters and extra content is overall better than the previous ones.

Ryoma was interesting because this was a guy with severe depression and a lack of will to live in a killing game setting. It'd have been unique and ironic to see someone like this as a survivor; accepting and appreciating that he lived when others didn't.

Angie was straight up the Kiyotaka of V3. Built up to be a neutral, but dangerous cultist who could have torn the cast apart, without actually ever killing anybody. Instead of pursuing her plot line right when it got interesting, she's killed off and everything dies with her.

I never said she wasnt, mikan also has a good bodiy but mikan is an annoyance and Peko is a literal tool for Fuyuhiko's character arc, she is plain as a paper

Loved Mikan, but only because of her FTEs when you learn what she was really like. Whereas in game she's just fanservice. Peko is too reliant on Fuyuhiko as a character to the point that she feels like his appendage. As an individual, she's dirt boring. Hot (ttest girl in the game), but boring.

Yes, it's absolutely objective, because I'm not even referring the "lolmeta" but how all of that is conveyed to us. The last trial is just one gigantic infodump. The game tries to hype you up with a virtual return to HPA, but then the """"investigation"""" is just Hajime running through screens and reading for 5 minutes. There's not actually a trial or anything you have to figure out because it's practically told to you. You then just become a passenger for the rest of it. None of the others were that boring.

Every DR does that though.

No they don't. DR1's trial 6 was an extension and revision of trial 5. When you search the school, you're not told about what happened, like the memory loss, destroyed rooms etc, you have to think for that shit. V3 was similar, revisiting chapter 1, the mother monokuma, the opened talent labs. Then a legitimate argument between Shuichi, Keebo and Tsumugi.

DR2 lacked these interactions.

DR2 is the best game and DR1 is the worst game, but DR2 is diminished if you don't play DR1. It's very much an exploration of themes of DR1. You won't be able to appreciate Nagito as much without knowing who Naegi is. You won't appreciate Chiaki as much without knowing who Chihiro is. The point of the Ultimate Despair as a group is diminished if you don't know who Mukuro is.

Why is Danganronpa so bad ?!
Horrible story, uninteresting characters
How do people enjoy this game?!

this is the dumbest opinion ever. Literally everybody in DR1 is an incompetent idiot except Kirigiri and Naegi. In DR2 the other students actually contribute to the class trial. The only person with no intellectual value is Akane.

Byakuya isn't incompetent, he's just uncooperative.

Uncooperative is generous, he's a textbook sociopath.

>this is the dumbest opinion ever. Literally everybody in DR1 is an incompetent idiot except Kirigiri and Naegi. In DR2 the other students actually contribute to the class trial. The only person with no intellectual value is Akane.
What a meme. In the DR2 trials, everyone is completely and utterly useless besides Chiaki and Nagito. Even Hajime is just a voice peace Nagito uses to move his agenda, and when Hajime can't pick up the slack, Chiaki pushes everyone to the correct conclusion from the back. You've got some wonky memory thinking otherwise, senpai.

1 unironically has the best cast except for Byakuya.

>Hiyoko
I kinda like Hiyoko because she's a cunt and she mixes up the group dynamic because she's such a cunt. Also I like how she's unexpectedly one of the most hardline characters when it comes to how wrong it is to participate in the killing game, given her chastisement of Teruteru in 2-2.
>Ibuki
She's a happy inoffensive personality. She has a unique design. She's fine, can't see why people hate her, but I don't love her either.
>Mahiru
One of the best characters in Danganronpa. Also a bit of a hidden gem. I can see why some people dislike her because she gives off such a terrible first impression, but upon paying more attention to her... man, I just love everything about Mahiru.
>Nekomaru
What the hell, how can you hate Nekomaru? He (ironically) has a good heart, he's always looking out for everybody, and honestly he's a pretty funny character.
>Akane
She's attractive.

Hopeman > Togami > Lieboy
Kayayday > Kirigiri = Chiaki

Byakuya was based. The constant putdowns, the times he gets BTFO and the fact that he can be a dick without being autistic (see Kokichi/Nagito). He had major roles in 1-2 and 1-4, and unsurprisingly, they're generally considered the best trials of the first game.

It's not a list of characters I hate, but rather a list of characters that I don't think are well written or good. Because I honestly do really like Mahiru and Nekomaru, but don't think they were well written enough to be good characters. Especially since Mahiru dies in ch2 and Nekomaru literally misses an entire chapter and then dies the next, not to mention they chained him to Akane who is the worst character in the entire game series.

Sure thing.

Well I think both Mahiru and Nekomaru are well-written. I don't really put any value on how much time you appear in determining how well-written someone is. There's a reason the most interesting characters usually aren't the survivors.

Well there's 16 characters in the game. Not everybody is going to be useful.

Nekomaru is well-written...if you play his FTEs before he dies. This is an issue with many of DR2's characters.

Don't get me wrong they have great FTEs, it's just in the main story they don't really develop. Just wish they would have done more with them.

Yeah, FTEs were kinda bad in DR2. I don't remember V3, but I felt like 1 handled it best. Like the FTEs weren't much, but you get a strong sense of the character just by following them around in the story. I didn't need to read Byakuya, Mondo, Sakura. Asahina, Kirigiri etc to get them and how they developed into the person you see in the game.

>DR2 cast showing up and retroactively trashing DR2’s ending
stop forcing this meme.

Most of the characters in DR2 are. Mahiru and Gundham are instrumental in the 2-1 class trial. Hiyoko is instrumental in the 2-2 class trial. 2-3 is unsolvable without Souda's information even if in the actual class trial he never figures anything out himself. Fuyuhiko is instrumental in 2-4.

She prefers huffing paint thinner.

Hi, OP again.
Decided I will get V3, thanks for all the feedback.

I just disagree with you. 2-2 was very much development for Mahiru. Nekomaru is a static character who doesn't develop at any point over the game, but that does not make him inherently poorly written. 2-4 he comes off as both hilarious and a badass at times.

SORE WA CHIGAU YO!

This is redundant. You can say that about everyone just for being at the right time at the right place. No trial is truly solved by the core characters. Even they need witnesses and minor contributions to get the full picture.

Yes they are. 2-1 is unsolvable without Mahiru's diagram (which revealed Nagito as the one who conceived the murder plot) and Gundham's knowledge of the paint under the floorboards (which literally no other character knew about).

Don't talk shit about 29 or the Ultimate Arsonist! Besides the worst one was 13. Like why did they make the Ultimate Furry survive until the end. Not to mention the horror of having all the blood in that game be red.

Not that user, but I love Peko's design with her silver grey twintails, glasses, and red irises, she's very distinctive and imposing. I also think her FTEs are really cute and I want to hug her.

ugh don't remind me, but yeah the furry ended up being a girl that looked like Chiaki after being in that fursuit for half the season, its very clear team DR wanted to strike gold again but failed.

Honestly during DR1 all the characters I was attached to made it to the end, so when the second trial happened it was the first time I lost a character I was attached to. Doesn't help that hers is a real tragedy case too.

>making your own path and being confident in your future
how does bringing them back from a coma ruin that?

I liked the Ultimate Vegan's rivalry with the Ultimate Veterinarian and I thought his friendship with the Ultimate Itamae was bizarre, but he was pretty insufferable.

Because we were told there were statistically low chances of survival for the cast
>Everyone comes back alive, no problem
>The killing game is now a complete sham.
That's bad, but my issue wasn't a different ball game. We were told the Ultimate Despair did horrible things to their own bodies as proof of their warped philosophy.
>The biggest example of immolation is Fuyuhiko with an eyepatch
If nothing else, that was symbolic for how entirely whitewashed the 77th class had become.

>but my issue wasn't a different ball game

Maybe they shouldn't had the furry keep quoting memes that were popular two years before it was released. The Vegan had a couple of good moments, like after they realized that mayo wasn't considered vegan.

How? Makoto's goal was to cleanse them of their brainwashing and it worked.

>told there were statistically low chances of survival for the cast
and then the cast made their own path by bringing them back.

The killing game of SDR2 was ultimately meaningless as it had zero real consequences, nobody really died. The only one who didn't come back was Chiaki who was already dead anyway.

Makoto's goal didn't involve a killing game and it was derailed by Izuru, they had to improvise. It feels incredibly cheap that this is the one cast that suffers the least amount of consequences despite committing the biggest offences. Imagine a game centered on death matches, only to learn that nobody actually died in the end and will be revived. Fundamentally, I feel that is never a good idea. I would be satisfied if there was slow progress, or the audience given insight into how arduous it was to revive class 77, the mental and physical trauma that remained and need to be overcome etc. We don't get this. They just show up fine at the end of the arc upbeat and wacky like the same characters we always knew. Like the first user said, it's lazy.

It was never meant to have those kind of consequences. It's consequences were supposed to be about their mental health and whether they could learn to live with themselves after what they did. That's why 3 isn't canon.

Canonicañly brainwashed so no

I had to take a short break after the second trial, it was a lot.
Good taste though, Toko and Kirumi are both really pretty.

>one cast that suffers the least amount of consequences
I don't know user.
Living with the fact that you killed your parents and close relatives, destroyed your home and was practically the main cause for the world going to shit is worse than death.

I agree that DR3 should've shown that off better but Kodaka is autistic.

I'd say having an endless yacht orgy probably numbs the pain more than enough to sleep soundly.

Kodaka did not write DR3. He approved it but did not write it.

He wrote Lerche an outline, and that includes brainwashing dinduing the sdr2 characters and sent them off on their despair orgy cruise being ignorant about the world around them.

That's why it felt like their killing game had no consequences.

He's not the one grasping.

What about one of those knick knack stores that sell weird shit like a flea market?

FTEs in the first game were shit, sometimes I reloaded the game after reading one that made me felt like it was a waste of a free time block, such as the one where Chihiro simply tells you >she got bitten by a insect because >she couldn't kill it.

If you don't enjoy the conversations between Toko and Cumaru and exploring for more dialog bits, you won't enjoy it at all. The autistic banter between the two is easily the hook of the game.

The problem isn't that they lived or even that they kept their memories, the problem with DR3 is it completely glosses over the trauma they should have still had to work through. Nagito and Mikan would only be the worst cases, they "died" homicidal and insane aware of the truth but DR3 acts like nothing was ever wrong with them.

Where is the Peko?

>Can't name a bigger waste in DR2 than Sonia.
She's integral to helping chapters 2, 3, and 5, and she gets consistent focus to help her develop in a majority of them including chapter 4.
>finding out she she has a love for serial killers and helps figure out that Peko was faking being the justice killer
>felt like shit and blames herself that she sent Hiyoko to her death, and helps figure out more stuff about hiyoko during the trial because of that
>Develops a relationship with Gundam then has to see him get executed
>Wants to figure out how to enter the hope's peak ruins, figures out that the bombs were fake, and helps defend Chiaki the hardest as the traitor because she's tired of people fighting and killing each other
How can people say she's a big waste after all that? You have characters that stagnate the longer they are there or don't even learn anything (Souda, Akane), don't really do anything until they kill (Teruteru, Peko, Gundam), disappear for a chapter then get blatant death flags (Nidai), or disappear into the background after their character development happens (Fuyuhiko).

Which Danganronpa characters had the best development?

Sonia is constantly pushed as a culprit for trials 2 through 5, only for her to not be involved in the murders in any way.
>Ultimate princess
More like Ultimate Japanese-loving foreigner because the political aspects of her character are never touched on. Instead she's just ineffectual throughout the whole game.

DR2 actually does a great job of having every character who survives to endgame be relevant in every chapter, it's just too bad that Akane and Soda either fall to grow as a character or actively regress despite all the focus.

Toko (counting UDG), Fuyuhiko, Shuichi

I feel like it would be interesting if Hiyoko survived instead of Soda, and part of the last chapter would be that each of the survivors needing to deal with losing somebody close to them in the game (The other survivors are obvious, but have Hiyoko focus on Mahiru/ maybe Mikan or Ibuki).

Sonia mentions in the first chapter that she doesn't like being in a position of power, which is why she happily hands it off to Twogami despite Mahiru proclaiming that she deserves it more. You can easily infer that she doesn't really like being a princess. Why else would she move across the globe to study abroad? It's not just because she's into Japanese culture.

Touko has the best in the entire franchise.

Fuyuhiko develops into a more boring character

Here you greedy bastard.

>Chapter 2
Suspicion never falls on her and the fact that she's the one who introduces Sparkling Justice makes her obviously not the killer from the meta perspective.
>Chapter 3
She's indirectly responsible for Hiyoko's murder. Again, the fact that she admits this to Hajime excludes her from actually being the killer.
>Chapter 4
She has nothing to do with the murder and there's never any reason to suspect her specifically. The idea that the killer must have come from Grape House is brought up but proven wrong before the investigation ends.
>Chapter 5
She's made obviously suspicious because she starts proactively investigating without the player's full knowledge leading you to think she might be the traitor, but Hajime again asks her about it in the investigation and she gives a fairly detailed and convincing explanation for her actions. She's a suspect as much as everyone else, who among them have almost all expressed the desire to or already tried to kill the victim.

>the political aspects of her character are never touched on
They are in her FTEs, and more generally her introduction in the prologue and Chapter 1 clearly establish that she just wants to live as a normal high schooler on the island and make friends with everyone, which is why she becomes progressively more upset when the group doubts each other as the killings progress. She's one of the several characters in DR2 (and DR1) who resent their "talent" in some way because it's determined the course of their life.

Hm, I never considered that. It does make a bit of sense and they're both serious and intense looking, too.

Main difference is Peko killed in order to protect someone and Kiyotaka died one of the most unfair deaths in the series.

>tfw missed the steam sale
fuck, should I just get the trilogy on PS4 so at least I get a physical copy or wait for another sale?

Aside from that common theme of every survivor losing someone close to them, I'd rather have had Akane take Hiyoko's place in Chapter 3. Akane dying after Nekomaru's sacrifice to save her anyway would have really impacted the context of Chapter 4 and instead of the dumb straight man routine Akane and Soda get going which is a lot of the dumb "comic relief" in the later trials Hiyoko would have been giving Soda shit way before Sonia gets sick of him and could have maybe even whipped him into shape so he'd stop being so fucking pathetic in the last third of the game.

They also both vote incorrectly (in some way) in the second class trial in order to protect the closest person they care about, who also happens to run a gang. And said gang member had a sibling die in a previous indecent.

Just wait for another sale. It happens every couple of months. It's better to get them for cheap if you can wait without getting spoiled.

They're both secretly in love with that person too.

Is Chihiro going to go with them?

>They are in her FTEs, and more generally her introduction in the prologue and Chapter 1 clearly establish that she just wants to live as a normal high schooler on the island and make friends with everyone, which is why she becomes progressively more upset when the group doubts each other as the killings progress. She's one of the several characters in DR2 (and DR1) who resent their "talent" in some way because it's determined the course of their life.
>She chooses to completely waste her potential as a character
Doesn't change that she wastes her potential as a character.

In order of how good they were, sure, but they're essentially VN's. They're about the story, and if someone was going to play one of them and ONLY one, DR1 is the one. The way it introduces the setting and builds up the story, then has the player wondering about the outside world is completely lost in every other game. The other games relied way too heavily on what DR1 successfully set up and if you get into any of the others first you're basically ruining a big part of the series for yourself. DR1 is the only one suitable to be played in a vacuum.

maybe, but he'll be the third wheel.

Not that user but:

-Chapter 2 as you said, introduces Sparkling justice along with Sonia's fetish. You might say "it's too obvious, can't be Sonia". I urge you recall this is the same series where a victim wrote the killer's name ON THE WALL. Additionally Sonia planned the girls' day out on the beach and wore a wetsuit.

For chapter three, what you've described is quite literally a red herring. Sonia is related to the murder, but ends up only being a derailment towards the true culprit. The same occurs in chapter 5 as well, where's lacks an alibi and you only have her word to go on. She was even the one who suggested they throw the canisters. Sonia is basically a target for half the murders but never convicted.

Note: None of this is a bad thing. of course but a red herring definitely suits her.

I might just buy it to support the series. Is there gonna be more games coming out?
