Danganronpa V3 is here!
Conqueror:
So...this is the power of the ultimate weapon. Just need to craft the highest tier armor so I can have 999 health as well. The second to last weapon basically sets your str/int/agi to 999 as long as your base is high enough.
Anyway, this is me on floor 100 right before the final final boss. That was a fun little diversion. I almost want to play a real rpg now.
Edit: It's over. Replaced Kirigiri with a cure/healbot Sayaka and combined with Angie that meant my other 2 carries were free to keep attacking nonstop. Huzzah.
commandercool:
I'm definitely going to finish it once I dig myself out from under all the other recent new games. I haven't really spent much time with the other other traditional postgame mode either. This game does have a shocking amount of postgame content.

I don't know why this is spoilered but the ability to shoot white noise with the rear touchpad makes the Vita the best console for DR
Teewee:
Hey, spoilering stuff here just became a habit :v
Chapter 2:
Spoiler: After hearing about what Kirumi's execution is supposed to symbolize, I'm led to believe it's just trolling on Monokuma's part, or maybe something to help alleviate the pain of someone like Kirumi getting executed. I mean, considering everything she did before she saw her motive video, I think it's very unlikely she betrayed the rest of the cast out of pure selfishness more than anything. She seemed too sincere about her stated duty (selfless devotion) to do that. Too sincere in more ways than one :v
MatsuriSakuragi:
What the fuck did I just play.
(game end spoilers)Spoiler: I'm going to need a while to digest all of this. Even though I had been hit with some spoilers ("Kaede was the first culprit", "Gonta dies", "Tenko dies", "Tsumugi dresses up as Junko at some point") thanks to internet being internet, I was fully satisfied with the plot twists. Just.... that ending. There are so many layers of meta and irony on top of it that it makes my head spin, which is a good and bad thing. Good, because it's making me think and be introspective, but bad, because I didn't have a rush of feelings at the end like I did with SDR2. It was exhilarating in an exhausting way-- and I think the lack of true satisfaction at the end was absolutely intentional-- they put the epilogue in for closure so it's not entirely a feelbad bummer story, but the fact that the game was straight up calling out people who play it for finding joy in watching people, even if they're fictional, die and have to fight for hope over despair as emotional payoff-- and ending that game without the payoff... kind of feels right? It doesn't feel GOOD but it feels right.
And I really have to think that this may genuinely be the end of the Danganronpa series-- not just because of how the story plays out, but also because the producer (or one of them) left Spike Chunsoft recently. And honestly, I think I may be okay with that. This is a goddamn fantastic series and I'd hate to see it become overdone and overstay its welcome. And after an ending as surreal and absurd as this one, is it even possible to top it? I really don't think so.
Also: How do you get into that RPG game? Is it an extra you have to unlock after doing the Talent Plan or whatever? I'm not really feeling up to doing a bunch more right now, but I'll definitely poke at it later.
Also also: I have heard that Spoiler: That Kumasutra love house actually has a role in the game, but I never figured it out. What's that all about? I don't mind some light spoilers as to how to involve it. (I never messed with the casino much, for what it's worth.)Also also also (endgame spoilers): Spoiler: Tsumugi actually drops an... interesting hint that I actually thought was an oversight but may be 100% intentional. In the first piece of her FTE, she says she's so plain, even her underwear is plain white. When you get her panties at the end of her FTE route, they're black and decorative, which means either the writers messed up, or it was a hint that she's a total liar and not who she claims to be. Also, can I just say I fucking love how she turned out? I think I may like her just as much as I like Junko.
