Danganronpa V3 is here!
BT:
Chapter 1
Spoiler: The first case threw me for a loop in the beginning. Similarly to Sect.. Like, Shuichi gives off some really weird vibes. When you set up the library cameras they make him choose who sets up what camera, and he acts all relieved / happy when the setup is done. And he goes chasing after the group that goes downstairs, leaving you alone... and they almost never bring up what exactly he was doing down there.
But when the iron ball was revealed I went like "wut, hold on". It had to have fallen from above but when did Shuichi have the time to do that? He didn't. It gets 100% crystal when they remind you that Kaede is the one who left the air vent open for NO REASON AT ALL except if she wanted an inanimate object to pass through it.
Really, though, why does he have to have an ahoge? I never liked that shit yo.

Chapter 1:
Spoiler: I can buy Shuichi's weird behavior as a combination of his hangups surrounding his own talent, nervousness, and just plain 'ol red herrings.
There's this weird moment when he goes to get the cameras from Miu and acts suspicious for no good reason, seemingly forgetting what he's doing and why. And I think there's no reason for it aside from putting suspicion on the cosplay girl, since we don't know about her bizarre limitations yet at that point. But I guess that's fine, it's well established that he's no stone-cold motherfucker like Kyoko and he definitely gets flustered and confused several times.

Chapter 2:
Spoiler: I call bullshit on the game for saying I got the wrong answer about the time of death the first time around, I totally had the correct answer the first time for the right reason!
This case was pretty easy all things considered, but man, it was REALLY rough. Is it just me or is this game a lot more brutal than the first two? Or at least the really horrible stuff is coming along earlier in the plot. I don't know how much more of this I can take...
Also, I'm not crazy in remembering that the basic premise of the setting that keeps being vaguely hinted at was plainly announced when the game was revealed, right? The game is treating it like a huge secret but it was part of the pitch of the game. Wasn't it?
BT:
Spoiler: Yes, I remember they talked about the setting in one of the infomercials. In hindsight, huge spoiler, what where they thinking??

As someone who played the game a while ago, I've been waiting a long time to see these reactions. You guys are in for quite a ride. :V
