Case 1 spoilers:
Spoiler: WHAT THE FUCK?! I have seen some upsetting shit from this franchise, but this is a strong contender for the worst thing yet. I don't think it's quite the worst in a vacuum, but putting it at the beginning of the story rather than toward the end makes it so much worse...
I don't think I was going to be able to come close to finishing this game today anyway, but I'm honestly not sure I can keep playing right away after that. I think I need a break...
Edit: Oh christ no no no not Claire De Lune what the fuck! I have some very negative feelings associated with that song already. It's like they knew about that and put this here to fuck with me personally. This isn't faaaair!
Sect:
So, Case 1 thoughts (featuring discussions with Sapz and Finn):
Spoiler: <Sect> My guess for who killed the first victim: Shuichi, who turned on the flash to attract ???'s attention, and set up one of the shotputs to roll onto his head when he investigated the camera.
<Sapz> No comment, etc, but a fun guess :V
<Sect> I'm about to start the class trial, and I'm going to stick with it. Shuichi decided that the best way to deal with the mastermind was to lure them into investigating the camera, after which the ball would drop on their head. The reason he prompted the class trial and participated in the investigation was because he wanted to confirm that Rantaro was the mastermind. Either Rantaro was not the mastermind, or he
<Sect> was an accomplice.
<Sect> Time to see how off I am!
<Sapz> :V
<Sapz> Have fun
<Sect> @later tell Sapz WHAT THE HELL
<Keine-tan> Sect: Okay! ^_^
<FinnKaenbyou> I suspect I know what just happened, Sect, but if you want to confirm in PM I'd appreciate that
<Sect> Dangan Ronpa V3. Murderer of the first case.
<FinnKaenbyou> YUP
<Sect> HOLY SHIT
<FinnKaenbyou> When I saw you talk to Sapz about how much you liked Kaede I was just like 'oh, Sect, dear, you are in for a fun time.'
<Sect> THEY RUSED ME HARD
<FinnKaenbyou> WELCOME TO DANGAN RONPA
<Sect> THIS IS MORE DANGAN RONPA THAN I EXPECTED
<Sect> Wait fuck, is Shuichi going to take off his hat and reveal he has a protagonist ahoge?
Spoiler for that last line (and Chapter 2): Spoiler: Yes he does.
Ohhhh man, Sapz was right, this is going to be good.

Chapter 1 spoilers:
Spoiler: I'm just amazed how much sense it makes. When the lie mechanic was introduced I was like "Wait a minute, aren't I making a lot of assumptions here about why I need to do this?" but no, I apparently knew why I needed to do that the whole time...
The only thing that doesn't make sense to me now is the promo video covering up the noise. That was just a lucky coincidence, right? I can accept that the whole Rube Goldberg contraption worked perfectly the first time with no testing, but the fact that a loud noise happened to come along to cover it up at exactly the right moment is a bit of a stretch. Or did I miss something and Kaede had reason to expect that to happen at just that time?
Is it wrong that I have my fingers crossed for some kind of insane twist to bring back Kaede? Like this was actually some kind of elaborate setup with Rantaro and he has some kind of bullshit get-out-of-jail-free talent and she'll come back to save everyone again in the last case...?
Stupid Danganronpa... So fucking traumatized again... :D
