Hundred Line: last defense academy

"We’re also taking in and implementing player feedback to ensure the experience remains enjoyable throughout the years. So, we invite you to join in this adventure of extreme and despair for 100 days and beyond.”
Oh shit potential new content?

Why is this game shilled so much on here?

It's another Danganronpa and Anon Babble loves Danganronpa.

Kodaka and the bros' new game and v loved his work

There’s a lot to talk about with all those damn routes.

Huh, interesting that they're going to make changes to the final battle in the 2nd scenario. Wonder in what way

Reduced Skip button holding wait

Half a step forward. There really isn't a reason at all not to add an Options menu feature to turn it into "Skip: Hold, Press" where if you press a button the cutscene is skipped.
I'm indifferent towards DING DONG BING BONG. I don't feel as annoyed by it as the vocal folks from the previous threads.

I don't

It’ll be a bit sad not racing to see if I can skip before nyeowuagh chimes in (sad I don’t have a picture saved to post with it)

You mean why have there been so many threads about it?
Well, it's a videogame that came out just a few weeks ago and has an awful lot of content, so lots of stuff to talk about.

Route too short.

When I was playing the SF Route, it's just unbelievable that there's only 100 seconds left to blow up the academy, and yet it feels like Hiruko and Takumi talked for much longer than that.

I wish the protagonist was a girl. I wanted a full male yandere route with eito raping and impregnating a female takumi.

With one change, everyone would've sided with Eito

I finished CoA yesterday and started what's probably one of the 2 Box routes.
Takumi confessing to Nozomi in front of everyone in the middle of the battle with Eito in "Bitersweet Youth" was mildly funny. That's the only noteworthy comment I have about it.
"Unending Nightmare" and "Howdy Neighbor" were whatever. 1 minute long bad ends, nothing interesting.

In whatever branch of whichever box route I'm playing Kako killed Eva and it seems we're going to look for the Dragon Bal... Boxes.
What's up with Kako here. She's never been as ascertive as she is here in the few routes I played so far.
Sure, she wanted to break out of Ima's overprotectiveness, but she acted like a stupid kid in the fight with Eva.

At some point they clearly considered it, but it seems they ended up discarding the idea.

Spiritual successor to Danganronpa which is a series which gets near daily threads anyway
A shit ton of content means people are still actively getting through the games content right now and want to talk about it before everyone else moves on from it.

So that's probably alpha versions of Hiruko who was the original main, Takumi, Darumi, and Shouma.
But what's the deal with the racoon and Gorbachev?

Pretty sure that’s meant to be Hiruko

That's effectively just V'ehxness with less random color slapped on

So kodaka hold a Q&A session in a China website.
Kodaka confirmed that the satellite thing at the first ending is pretty much a nothing burger. They went back to the satellite and found the truth discovered in the truth route. Thats all

Nice, good thing I did 100/100 yesterday :D

why china? how many sales came from there?

select Takumi

"I've got this!"

select Nozomi immediately after

"I've got this!"

select Takumi

"Ready when you are!"

select Nozomi immediately after

"Whenever you're ready!"

select Takumi

"Good to go!"

select Nozomi immediately after

"I'm good to go!"

I love it every time this happens

WE CAN'T KEEP ON LIKE THIS

still no kako route = bad game

imagine plapping her fat ass

Cult of Takumi, living idol variation.

I think they should've replaced the Metal Shop with a workbench or something, because just having regular ass guns available completely trivializes the Killing Game/Slasher route.

Takumi and Hiruko, more like.
Just like how the sword boy is clearly Eito + Kyoshika.
Or like how the smol boy is has traces of Moko and Shouma.

SOME MADMAN PLEASE TELL KODAKA DIRECTLY TO MAKE DARUMI ROMANCE (WITHOUT RETSNOM) AND WITH TEEN PREGNANCY

Posting extremely underrated song
youtube.com/watch?v=fRduqsOQhao

Hell yeah

Yeah, it’s Hiruko but like... proto-Hiruko. You can tell from the way they kept the eyes and boots design almost 1:1 but gave her a way more subdued personality. Probably a leftover from when she was supposed to be the MC before they shifted focus to Takumi. Makes me wonder if the “Hiruko = box inhabitant” theory has more weight than we thought.

She's one of the few relatively sane and normal people and she's cute.

i need more mid-battle love confessions that make both sides stop and pause during otherwise tense moments
also i guess i'm a sucker for the "i fell for you" confession, kurara does it too when she says "be more like the man i fell for" in romance route
am i a boring basic bitch who should read more manga for children, and if so, give me some recommendations

HEY TAKUMI EITO SAID YOU'RE TRAITOR AND I IMMEDIATELY BELIEVE HIM RAWWWWRRR

eito is pretty convincing... he has a lot of power over WOMEN, evidently...

can hundred line win goty?

why are retarded girls so cute

best girls of their respective games

Really makes you think. Fubuki deserved to be in something like Hundred Line instead of Raincode

dogshit game filled with dogshit characters

Karua bump

Every time

how the fuck can nozomi ever compare

she acted like a stupid kid in the fight with Eva

anon, kako and ima are middleschoolers

So what is it that Eito actually sees?

play saya no uta

By being a real person with flaws

Tricking Kyoshika into inspecting a hole in the wall she can't get out of!

He only sees people as fucked up so not exactly like Saya no Uta. And I just went off that shadow in the CG when he was explaining his condition. So I figured like some sort of zombie looking creatures with long looking limbs. I am curious if he sees people’s clothes since the silhouette looks all shambly and has stuff hanging off it (or maybe fucked up looking versions of their clothes?)

store.steampowered.com/app/1590230/Tyrion_Cuthbert_Attorney_of_the_Arcane/

What I like the most about Kirifuji is that she can easily bait Oosuzuki to any said location, so I can bully her afterwards.

Needless to say, that I want to bully Oosuzuki so damn much.

I want to pass my time solely to bully her for a hundred days straight and then go back in time so I can do it all over again. I want to make sure she knows that hiding her face behind a mask is a sign of a weakness. I want to make her prepare curry for her friends, only to take it and eat it in front of her without sharing. I want to mock her inability to be useful in battles, yelling that she is less useful than Maruko. I want to force feed her green tomatoes, palm after palm. I want to snatch her tomato mask, revealing her face to the plebeians. And then, I’ll give her mask back to her, after it serves its purpose as a vomit-dumpster, courtesy of Kawana.

And then she finally snaps and tries to bully me by any means possible, I’ll spank her in front of everyone until she’ll like it, a feat that wouldn’t take much time. And then she’ll come to me, begging for another spanking, I’ll mock her again and then spank her as if my life depended on it, laughing at her moans full of pleasure. Mere seconds before her climax, I’ll go back in time to do it all over again, leaving her in her aroused state.

actually has good reviews

uhhhhhhh am I getting pranked?

Sorry was the list supposed to be bad mystery VNs only

ye

And yet Ima is rational most of the time.
I guess that funnily enough, he's to blame for Kako's behavior.

Bizarre grotesque shadowy monsters with long arms and claws, if that one CG with him as a kid is anything to go by.

kurara ran for 30 hours with her mask on

less believable than fish heads

Just bought the game, completely blind, know nothing about the it. Is there anything I should know?

max out takumi and max out tsubasa's primary. give everything to takumi. upgrade whatever potions you think are strong and spring "trap" is something that provides instant movement a gorillion spaces away

Make sure you give all your commander kills to Eito. And when you don't feel like giving them to Eito give them to Darumi.

Is there anything I should know?

Play at your own pace. The game has a long prologue and once you finish it there'll be a bunch of routes that you'll get to experience based on your choices.
Give all the commanders to Takumi first and foremost and focus on upgrading his skills before anyone else's, you'll be using him in every single battle. Best second option is Tsubasa, after that pick whoever you like, it doesn't matter because everyone's useless compared to those 2.
The game has cardboard game-like exploration segments where you gather materials. Make sure you upgrade your academic grades because those will give you special favorable tiles in said exploration segments.

Darumis Danganronpa fanfic

you can skip BING BONG now

I came, and the anon below me received my cum

Thanks, I will now leave the thread to not get spoiled.

Why can fire emblem have threads every day?

Is it just me or are Minerals a bottle neck?

Darumifags are so insufferable.

t. didn't play Retsnom

Get Darumi’d fag

I did, it was a really boring route despite what was going on. You'd think an assimilating monster being inside of her would be more interesting, but the characters spend the majority of the route just sitting around and being mundane. Only blind waifufags praise that route.

I am playing Retsnom right now and I still don't like her much.
Also I never want to hear anyone complain about THE BEES ever again if they don't also complain about the alien soda machine.

diabolic

i find takumi's habit of getting KO'd by everything to be most irritating plot contrivance

missed all discussions because not going to buy the game for now

Bros...
Rain Code threads were comfy and funny.

you missed nothing. early on it was just retarded speed readers

He mentions bulging eyes, holes that ooze stuff, and I don't remember what the third one was.

I don't remember what the third one was

I think it was eye stalks

People liked it for the character stuff with Takumi and Darumi not for the monsteR. I hated her going into the route and then she really got to me and now she’s my favorite. the last quarter of the route after she fully becomes the monster and starts acting like her old self was not particularly interesting

Yes, that's what brings it down for me personally. I also don't like the asspull ending where killing her magically makes the ruby tears exist and save everyone dead(Takumi included). I thought the other ending half was at least consistent with how Retsnom's abilities work. Still, the other half could have had more body horror or something, it felt like a PG rated eroge without any real payoff, Takumi don't even kiss Darumi.

BEES are inherently ridiculous. The idea behind the alien soda machine - that an alien parasite could produce myriad substances through a kind of biological mimicry - requires a stretch of the imagination, but isn't just plain stupid and at odds with the setting, and nothing depends upon it except the retsnom story itself.

I’m thinking the idea was either she had the ruby tear and just wanted to see if she could get Takumi to assimilate instead since that would be preferable or that she made it while dying to save Takumi.

Also yes Takumi should definitely have done more for her/been more intimate with her in the route but at least in that one ending she says she loves him

I also don't like the asspull ending where killing her magically makes the ruby tears exist

It wasn't an asspull you explicitly told the condition for making a ruby tear earlier but the characters didn't make the connection

What was the condition?

It is an asspull when it's shown right before that she faked how her reviving people works to bring Eito back. The actual method of Retsnom reviving people is the same as the revive-o-matic. This is my problem with the ending where you kill her, it just magically produces ruby tears afterwards that don't line up with Retsnom's abilities in the slightest to force some happiness into an otherwise bittersweet ending.

Retsnom choosing to die

meant for

That feels more like an interpretation, as it didn’t come across that way to me at all.

I really want to know the source for this

Who the fuck is the coon?

Bros, is there a route where Eva doesn't get brainwashed and we get to spent more time with her? The obvious Eva route is way too short.

Killing Game.

She's in Box of Calamity a decent amount if you don't mind her being a ghost

She's not brainwashed in Killing Game but she interacts way more with Nozomi there, not Takumi. It's still something I like a lot.

She's around in Mystery but doesn't last long.

Is it Retsnom, Darumi or Retsnom combined with Darumi that has to want death because I also did not interpret things that way.
My favorite part of the route was the blurred line between where Darumi ended and the Monster begins. At the time it didn't seem like either of them wanted to die.

I have a bad feeling about these routes, but I'll check them out next, thx guys.

Shilled

It's like one thread up at a time, much more r3asonable than some gam3s are getting these past few weeks

darumifags want this every morning until the day they die

litter.catbox.moe/1my1qr.mp4

That's the first time I've heard the English VA, you dub fags are truly insane.

manic pixie dreamgirl with a secret joie de vivre

yes

I feel that your enjoyment of KG and most of the Kill side routes is tied to how soon you do them after First Scenario. I did all four(Mystery up to lock) right after and liked them

Other than the "Tacoomy" all dub are contractually obligated to say (despite pronouncing Darumi correctly), I don't have an issue with Dub-rumi. She's actually pretty good and emotive if you listen to more of her and get a feel for the wacky Tara Strong / Bubbles vibe she's got going.
She's just being annoying right there.

The game is 120-180h long. Most people are still reading.
According to steam achievements, only about 8-9% have cleared a Story Lock.

They’re a lost cause. They’ve got dub Stockholm syndrome. It’s incurable.

The only good part of Conspiracy is this funny CG

No way that's you Bully-kun. That must be an impostor

Every argument I've heard from the dub people is "It's not that bad." while the consensus around Japanese is just "It's good."

You don't have an issue with POGGERS?

ken-sama spammers found the thread

Welp

You don't have an issue with POGGERS?

nta but i think it adds to how obnoxious she is, it's a plus

This is every dub argument ever in all of history.
“Yeah, most of it ranges from mediocre to dogshit, but I really like this one part here, and this one character sounds good.”

I'm hedging my statements, because in my experience hardline subniggers are psychotic and bite your head off the moment you strongly express a dissenting viewpoint. I genuinely like Darumi; your mileage may vary, but it sounds like you've made up your mind. I've quoted some of her memeable lines in the threads before ("sohooo close to dead"), she has a lot of extremely catchy and memorable lines.

I honestly thought this was Ruby's voice actress from RWBY then I remembered that she can't act and has no range.

Darumi obsessed tumblrites are ruining these threads. Who gives a fuck about how she sounds in the shitty dub no one uses?

I disagree with the use of current slang for any character because it moves so fast I'll need an internet connection to understand what kind of character they are if I replay it in 20 years.
I get the idea that they're young characters and would speak in current slang, I just don't like it.

i think it's valid to prefer a passable dub in your own language to a good dub in a different language. many english dubs are fucking terrible; this one isn't. it's fine.

Amen. I like Darumi but saying I don't like one dub voice actress and this anon starts white knighting for some reason.

Except you didn't say that. You started being catty and cunty for no reason like subfags always do.

liking dubbing is unironically a sign of low IQ. even in the countries that have "good dubbing" like shitaly it still ends up sounding like utter shit.
learn to read.

Added to the list.

i'm so fucking done with seeing this shit. the replay footage is my only issue with the route

why do they put the woman of my life through so much suffering?

”The scent of lavender……….”

plays missile launch animation

Bravo, Uchikoshi.

I'm just not going to listen to a language I can't understand. If the dub isn't good I just mute the voices

You started being catty and cunty for no reason

Where do you think we are?

Praise Humanity! That's all I ever asked for. I feel so glad I took a week break before finishing the other routes

She will say stuff like this and then cry if she has to look someone in the eyes.

no hard mode or anything to make combat more engaging

just remove the fights at this point

she's just playing a character y'know...
i mean she would actually do it but it's a character it doesn't count

wanting the shitty fights to take even longer

there is no redeeming them
not without scrapping the entire game design and starting from scratch

More on the way.

What’s the change to the final battle?

oh well surely they will deliver

They should update the game so that Eva doesn’t wear clothes.

Just play a real SRPG instead. It's clear the combat system they set up was never going to support the length of the game they were making. An RPG with zero ways to increase base character health is not an RPG.

hiruko my lady love

Thanks for your input Gaku.

Well Anon what do you recommend than? Apart from Fire emblem

You can't increase HP in Advance Wars, Into the Breach, or Metal Slug Tactics. Though I guess they're not "RPGs," but they're good tactics games that share a lot of the same DNA. The issue in Hundred Line is the AP system and the absolute total lack of map design.
It's more of a concept for a strategy game, or a demo or minigame, than the actual thing.

LOVE AND PEACE

troubleshooter
jagged alliance 2
reverse collapse
xcom xpiratez

I accept more suggestions

I'm a big fan of the Disgaea series. Can't really go wrong unless you're playing 6.
Heard good things about the Tactics Ogre remake. Played the hell out of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance as a kid but still haven't gotten around to War of the Lions cause I know Square Enix is going to port an ideal version of the game as soon as I get started with it.

Update 1.06 patch notes:

Added Kako to Romance Route

Expanded Eva Route

Removed Mystery and S.F. Routes

Hard mode added

New mob enemies added

New playable character: Karua made available

bug fixes

Shouma chad sprite always enabled

yeah having no hp growth is really not the problem here

karuafamily we are going home

Comedy>Slasher>Cult
Anything else is blasphemy.

I dig this horrible loveless woman

It's more of a concept for a strategy game, or a demo or minigame, than the actual thing.

Yeah, I mean it was novel when they added a whole minigame system for V3 but I didn't actually end up playing much of it.
Honestly glad they didn't try to go that hard on gameplay, cause if they had fucked it up the game would be even more of a massive slog than it is at times.

I was down until the connect event where she told me to be one of several men in her harem.
Give me the autistic family pilled samurai.

Since this is a Hundred Line thread and I'm assuming you'd want choices in addition to solid SRPG gameplay

Soul Nomad and The World Eaters has the best evil route of all time. Only unlockable after finishing the normal route but it's a full fledged campaign. Previous bosses join you, the story's outcome is totally different from normal route.

Breath of Fire Dragon Quarter is probably the best SRPG with 3 party members. Design wise the director was trying to fix what he saw as problems in RPGs, notably too many free resources. No inns and no healing spells so your only form of healing is via consumables. Money earned is via your performance in battle so the only way to clear it is by playing well since enemies don't respawn. It's an RPG where you can actually hit a lose state if you suck shit but there's a few fail safes to stop that, notably a practical auto win button you can only use a few times before you hit a game over and looping back to the start with some bonuses like items you have in storage. Loops will also unlock more cutscenes so it's a game you're intended to clear multiple times to get the whole story.

Between the two games I prefer DQ because the protagonist is a random talentless officer that gets a chance to fight what he believes in. I don't remember if he was a teen but he reads more as a young adult to me which is rare in RPGs.

Kissing Kako

I guess we needed a successor to bully-kun eventually.

Mating press for this bratty tomato

Beegone brat.

Fuck wrong image.

Do not bully my wife

No it's not.

Your wife is shite.

kurara likes her boys dirty

Agreed

she's finally here....

3 of the best girls die early in the main second route

What was Kodaka's problem?

I enjoyed the combat before the repetition after the second 100 days kicks in

Combat won't even let you do numbers autism.
What is the point

Do you play many strategy games? That seems to be the source of schism, with anons who don't play many being more open to what HL offers, and anons who do play many kinda hating it.

Exploration is so much worse than battles. I'd rahter do 3 serial battle routes than do the entirety of Box of Blessings again.

Nta, but I play a bunch of strategy games and liked the combat during the first route.
It just becomes very repetititve after a while and new routes barely add or change anything interesting about the battles.

The thing that bothered me about it from the first moment is that the enemies legitimately can't fight back. I've never seen an SRPG like this, where you just bully the fuck out of the enemy and they maybe take 10% of your total health by the end of the map if you let them.

romance routes

The game seems better than I expected

But no Kako route

no kako route

no kako-G route

I play a lot of tactics games and I had a blast with the combat in the prologue.
I was initially trying to do all battles in 1-2 turns with 0 shield generator damage and no allies dying.

After that was no longer interesting because of repeat battles, I lost interest in it.

Hopefully, Takumi will actually kiss his wife unlike Gokek.

i'm just starting the second go through and seriously wishing i could just skip everything.
feels like a massive flaw.

I mean, the bigger guys do hit you back, but yeah they're clearly cannon fodder, you're not really having tacticle battles, but rather just holding down the line against hordes of disposable suicide bombers, who only care about the shield generators.
Also, 100 line is a VN first and foremost and the battles are only there to give the player some variety and to make some of the story moments more impactful.
I think the srpg parts are fine, for what they're supposed to be.

After 82.2 hours of playtime I finally unlocked the ability to skip battles that you already experienced.
I don't know if it's something that you can specifically only unlock in a "box route" like the one I seem to be in or what, but this is coming really fucking late into the game.
It feels poorly implemented too. You don't actually skip the battles: you're given the win automatically, but you still got to eat the cutscenes, inbetween conversations, character animations at the beginning and even the battle interface cues like "Battle Start" and shit.
It doesn't even work on the VR Training Battles even if you already completed all of them.
Hell, I jumped to the battle on Day 33 of Coming of Age to farm BP quickly, and I wasn't even asked if I wanted to skip it even though I had already completed Coming of Age completely.
Since the update tweet didn't talk about it at all, I assume Too Kyo made no changes to it.
I want to beat up whoever implemented this crap so poorly with a baseball bat desu.

Eternal reminder.

The elites are actually the biggest jobbers, though, because they give AP on kill. So you end up priority nuking them to preserve actions, and then it's just darumarr left at best. Darumarr are little shitty cunts.
It feels like the only gameplay in HL is identifying the premium punching bags from throwaway ones. Truly mind numbing shit.

then it's just darumarr left at best

if you sequence it right with last yell you can one shot them too

I just use Godbasa on em

I can fix her

Entire mechanic made to prevent using a single character for the entire battle

Let the character with the highest move and a six square attack completely negate it

What were they thinking?!

bro she rides a motherfucking 4x4 off road truck sit the fuck down!

They're not really tho

Guys?

The same scene has a CG of exactly that.

I WILL fix her

I liked it

was the wraith that spoke to dahl'xia actually a ghost

off topic but I don't think I'd have been able to survive my teenage years if the girls had been forced to wear skirts for their uniform. You have to be low test to not get horny looking at this at that age

It’s just Eva. He can see her because of his powerful Cryptoglobin.

Pervert who can’t stop touching herself

Wants to get married and have a traditional family

My wonderful retard wife

character animations at the beginning

Press B
Also the inbetween conversations change a little per route even if it's the same battle, sometimes entirely different people are present.

1.0.6 is going to allow skipping the morning and evening chimes

you didn't really beat the game

Once you’ve done a route on the top side and route on the bottom side you can pretty much skip 99% of battles. There are seemingly glitches for certain battles, like how in Box of Calamity there’s a couple Dalxia fights that also skip the post-battle cutscene. And like you mentioned there’s some that don’t give the option after having been cleared.

I like a woman in charge.

I normally don't care for bimbos but I'd drink Fubuki's burnt coffee any day of the week lol. She's a sweetheart and rather practical.

She’s cute, but I like Kirigiri’s more subtle girlboss behavior. She basically did it by accident. It’s far more direct and aggressive in Hiruko’s case.

tsubasa has burgers on her preferred items list

nozomi doesn't

tsubasa never mentions her parents and her grandfather is like a parent to her

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN

Probably just removing the illusion of control. Even though doing the opposite and making ending variants based on how the fight goes would make it one of the best finales in the game.

Hypnotizing ‘zomi with a swinging pocket watch and turning her into Karua.

recognizes that she has superior genes and wants to ensure they get variance with other superior genes

Not seeing the issue here.

Whenever I hear dub clips they have that cadence like a preschooler cartoon character talking to a kid. Kako sounds like Dora the Explorer.

I want to smash Kurara's tomato helmet and slap her face until her cheeks become red and swollen.
I never felt like this about a tsundere female character before, she makes me irrationally angry, and I still haven't come across a route that either lets me kill her or let her die.

let me let her die

Ftfm.
In short, fuck Kurara (non sexually).

I want to spoon Kurara and feel her soft soles against my legs

I think Sirei is funnier than Monokuma.

He's a better character too

His interactions with the group was actually really fun. Makes me wonder why they killed him off so early in First Scenario

Subverting expectations. You wouldn’t expect the mascot to get axed in the first few hours.

They had to be kept in the dark

You clearly haven't done many routes then lol.

of all the retarded shit that happens in this game, nozomi building the anti-aircraft battery is the worst of it all, just completely out of nowhere and makes no sense

You don't like Nozomi suddenly having a hidden talent for construction and bioengineering in any route where Kurara and/or Yugamu die?

He feels more like a character than a mascot to me, if that makes sense. I like that about him.

He’s also more intimidating since you can’t tell what he’s thinking and he might just shove a taser up your ass when you aren’t looking. Monokuma can’t touch you or brain fuck you to do what he wants for asking too many questions

That reminds me, in the box route I'm in, Sirei stole Gaku's thunder from the prologue.
Gaku had the idea of drowning out the hypnotizing sound waves by playing loud music back then, but now it was Sirei who did that. Kind of a shame desu.

Pretty sure Takumi tells Sirei about the song whenever he is around except in SF for some stupid reason so the game can wank Hiruko some more

Killing him off early actually hooked me while playing the demo, but I'm glad he's around for most of the game post-prologue.

Unironically I don't because she's very close to those two

Mystery route

Takumi takes a two week nap

Wakes up

Crazy shit happens

Takes another two week nap

Rinse and repeat

69th ending was 055

ayup it's time to take a break

In SF, why couldn't Ima and Kako's food break everybody's brainwashing except for Eva?

My 69th was 001

Is there a route that explains whats going on with Ima?
dude has one of the most bizarre and terribly written character arcs I have ever scene. I still don't really get why he went from shanking take to being a tag team duo with kako. The only characterization I've seem for him during LDA2 is when he sacrifices himself for kako which was another dumb scene

I might be a curator so I need to know if he has any story before I post my review ripping into how shit this game was.

I mean in 2nd Scenario.

he's 100% consistent and you're basically retarded if you don't understand how simple he is

There's no route for the twins. The only explanations is that they had a shitty life.

Takumi eats food

Starts breaking down about how his childhood friend waifu isn't real

Would have been funny as a one off ending

I like how they keep stuff like this in the English version. It always felt like NISA kinda wanted to do an Ace Attorney with DR. Manga were comic books, idols were pop stars, and ramen was ravioli or some shit.

Is Kyoshika's hymen intact?

lol

Probably broken by the sheath of her sword.

xbato.com/chapter/1010621 page 12

No way she didn't break it with her sword. Now the real question is if the researchers broke it so her memories would match

Honestly he's the high point of 2nd scenario. Could easily call it the Sirei route with how much it makes up for his absence in the prologue.
To be fair, Takumi forgets to mention the song in far too many routes.

In KG, where did the bees come from in the first place?

Too bad his design SUCKS. You get used to it after a while, but it's really off-putting.

it's at least unique. i like it better than the generic ghost thing from raincode. but huge downgrade from monokuma yes.

Is there a route that explains whats going on with Ima?

His parents died in an accident when Kako and him were kids.
They had to look for each other ever since, because all the other adults they met wanted to use them.
Ima becomes an overprotective brother because he doesn't want to expose Kako to the ugly side of the world.
He realizes if you played his bond events that he was, by extension, using Kako as a tool to give himself a reason to live.
That's about it. There isn't much else ho him, he's pretty generic.

I feel the same way. I actually hate her
They should have kept onii-chan and imouto-chan as they were. Brother dearest and sister dearest sounds retarded

He also bangs older women for money

he's pretty generic.

Please name me more characters like Ima, especially if they're male. I love him.

Karua

no one in it is like ima at all but you might like MW anyway

When your fictional childhood friend waifu has to compete with 3D women

How so?

Nozomi in this instance is double-cucked

homosexuality and brain damage induced schitzo

Hey, the only homosexuality I like is Eito!

Lmao

But why did they get attacked?

truth route

There is no route called truth.

2nd scenario is called truth revealed in Japanese

Which means it is called truth revealed, not truth.

I assumed anon just shortened it

okay i've done five routes so far and the only one i liked was the killing game route

i just finished the coming-of-age route and even for this game that was so clearly just a filler route. it went nowhere and nothing happened. i'm a little sick of the game... it almost feels like the point is how bloated this is, like kodaka and uchikoshi procured a team of complete amateurs to write as many words as possible in the hope that some of it would be good. the only redemption for this is that there's a lot of really good lines (and i think the english script probably deserves credit for this, they clearly had fun translating it)

Yeah, but the difference is the type of autistic pedantic shit only Anons like you seem to be would complain about.
It's the route in which the truth is revealed, therefore the Truth Revealed Route or Truth Route for short.
Yours is a Nazi grammar tier complaint.

Oh no, not the Diddy oil

I'm being pedantic because retards assume that it being called "Truth" means it's the True route.

it is

Ive been watching gameplay of the hundred line where the gamer enters a gym, theres 4 characters to talk to and over an hour later they're still talking to the characters in the same gym screen

what the fuck, who is the target audience of that
70 mins between area changes

Never heard of visual novels before?

1st & 2nd Scenario is the main story

The rest is extra stuff that can be equally as valid for your personal playthrough

This is how I see it.

Pretty much. It's like those comic anthology spinoffs except it's officially sanctioned and produced within the game.

It has a kino evil woman romance, so I do it for free.

I know nobody cares, but this fucking game was a chore

it's better in small doses i find. exhausting if you binge it all at once.

I like how he’s basically useless compared to Monokuma. He gets his ass destroyed half the time, and they sneak behind his back constantly.

I'd give this game a try, but the combat and enemies look like it was made for toddlers. Like what, are you going to fight against low-effort slimes on a terrain with no obstacles at all? They should've just made it into a VN without any gameplay

yeah the aesthetics of the battles are not the strong suit
at all

coming of age doesn't unlock any routes but it has some degree of importance for the overall plot

after 60 hours it turns into a vn without any gameplay :)

Shame. My autism makes me want to at least get the good routes

I wish Darumi was in the cult route. I’d like to see some wild fanservice with her.

coin flip was excellent and clever

yeah the combat looks like something most people would be fine never having to experience in their lives

It's because she's for vanilla hand holding and hugs

okay uchikoshi it's time for bed

He overestimates his ability to wrangle them all because of (actual spoilers) all the brainwashing he does on them.

I’d like her to pole dance. Just once, and then back to handholding.

Best girl coming through.

I want to see her face

Kurara kinda gay

Say, there's a commander in the Romance Route that I don't recall seeing elsewhere in the game.
Who the fuck is it. What's their lore.

Wife.

That's the clone commander.

Fake Moko

That’s very specific. Glad you also still want to hold hands with her but why pole dancing in particular

darumi is like a successful version of what hussie tried to do in homestuck with calliope.

not dodging the tumblr allegations

This could have been a sixty hour game with two routes and it would have been better.

I picked a random fixation. I’d like any kind of fanservice moment with her thrown in the game.

Datumblri

almost 200 hours in

I still laugh whenever she does this face

We really should’ve got sand code or an actual tribe 9 game

darumi route reminds me of that time i became friend with the class weirdo

I kinda get what you mean but if you’ve done Retsnom then you should know that’s not the real her sperging out over killing games every 5 seconds. Most Darumi fans love Retsnom her and not the annoying facade she uses

At the very least I really didn’t like Darumi before I did her own route

one compliment i'll give this game is that takumi is definitely kodaka's best protagonist so far. not for anything about him persay, but all the other DR protagonists had some annoying trait, or would act retarded, or had shitty lore. takumi is the first one who feels like "level-headed everyman" that all of them are supposed to be.

I think Makoto’s gimmick of being so normal he’s just as abnormal as the rest of them is underappreciated.

i played DR1 dubbed and i remember hating his voice actor so much that it blots out my memory of everything else about him. maybe he was better than i remember but i full on despised playing as him in that game.

He’s voiced by a legendary VA in Japanese. You played yourself.

But...he's pretty good I'm playing it for the first time right now. Finished Chapter 4 last night, holy fuck. I know some anons consider HL Kodaka's best work and it got me interested in the DR games but honestly nothing in it compares to this pure kino

Nagito’s dub doesn’t get his creepiness across like the jp either.

Wait you’re only now playing DR1? I’m guessing you can now see how the dude just repurposed the same progression of hang out till something happens formula in HL

I like the cast a lot more in HL than any of the DR games but to be fair most don’t get to be around long enough to get to know better

Kodaka will never escape the shadow of danganronpa. He tried getting hyper-ambitious and collaborative with HL which is why it's the only other thing he's done that's worth paying attention to but seriously nothing will be as good as the DR games.

Danganronpa 1 will always be my favorite. It’s got some silly mystery writing, but it’s undeniably unique in its other aspects. People don’t obsess over the game for no reason.

Yes. I'm an FEfag who tried the HL demo because I heard it was a strategy game, and it was free. What I didn't expect is that I'd hate the gameplay and love the characters. It was a simple leap to that Danganrupaul game I had heard about for years.
Just goes to show game devs should let you sample the merch more often...who am I kidding, that'll never happen and it's just as likely to backfire realistically speaking
I like HL a lot still but it's just so fucking padded. It's actually nice to go back to something humbler for once.

I have a bad memory. Is that the one where Takumi absorbs everyone's corpse to destroy Shion?

Yes

Honestly I would recommend anyone who plays the game to use the skip gameplay mode.
The gameplay portion of the game is ass.

My first run of the final battle in 2nd scenario I timed out because I was able to keep everyone alive for a long time while completing the objectives but the last part of it was locked because not everyone was dead. Theyre probably making that battle harder or adding in another condition to make the scenario work idk

Just let me skip the battles in Serial Battle routes please. It's so tedious and samey.

They really should have made more unique battles for each route. similar routes being able to skip battles is fine but when you can do it for stuff that happen several timelines over its kinda annoying

I want to impregnate this tomato.

You know you can just back out of the route right

Jump to something else

say the thing

karua looks so pretty here...

the smell of lavender?

DING DONG
BING BONG

So if the implication is that Hiruko and takumi only got stuck in the loop after he went back in time in 1st scenario what was she going to tell everyone before she died originally?

Maybe about some details of what’s going on? I don’t know how she’d really know about anything up there without her having looped at all yet but her prequel novel has her stay out when the sirens go off, see invaders show up, see that some people get payed to kill them so she learns how to do that as well on her own. Although I forget, weren’t the invaders supposed to be invincible to everything except hemoanima like the commanders or was that just the commanders? either plot hole prequel writer forgot about or specific training the scientists wanted for her so they had them be killable by regular means just for her

I'm always saying weird things

Holy shit she's self-aware?

I haven’t played the game yet but I was wondering if you guys think this game could get a sequel. I heard it’s doing well but idk how you’d make a sequel to a game with 100 endings.

It would have to be the hundred line 3

just make the combat longer

Really, anon? Really? How about a bit more exploration too while at it?

101 endings

1000 endings
1000 days
