Why are (You) not playing The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy- right now?

i don't like vns

>>719109740 (OP)
I already did every ending, I'm waiting for dlc now.

Because Pizza Bandit is more fun.

>>719109740 (OP)
made for BWC

shit localization mostly

>>719109740 (OP)
I like Uchikoshi but I see this game inherits the repulsive character designs of dangan ronpa

>>719110329
>shit localization
Counterpoint.

>>719109740 (OP)
I get the feeling that the non-VN parts are gonna be a slog to playthrough. Also not that engaging character designs.

>>719109740 (OP)
I got all 100 endings.
Fully upgraded every character.
Fully upgraded the traps and items.

Only thing I have left is the Bond Events.

>>719109740 (OP)
I bought on launch but as if God wanted to stop my hand I got new job out of blue and had to put it on hold

this seems like hell. no thanks stick to your visual novel general in vg

>>719109740 (OP)
i don't care for the creators writing.

>>719109740 (OP)
Because it's censored on Switch.

>>719109740 (OP)
Was going to start my copy this week but the silksong announcement pushed it back. Here's hoping that its enough to carry me through september since October is going to be insanely booked with releases

>>719109740 (OP)
great googly moogly she’s thicc

>>719109740 (OP)
Don't know much about it. I just watched part 1 from some random Youtuber. It seems like you're just fighting balls that are trying to invade a school or something? Doesn't seem very exciting if you ask me.

>>719109740 (OP)
I did and I got burnt out after 25 or so endings. I kept pushing until about 70 endings and I couldn't take it anymore so I gave up.

>>719109740 (OP)
troon pandering game

>>719111931
Lucky for you, she just so happens to be of the MC's main love interests.

>>719110329
this

Do you guys think they'll announce Hundred Line dlc on the japanese nintendo direct in september? It's mild possibility I wanna say.

>>719110014
>>719112923
Why the fuck do you want more endings??? This game was bloated to shit already.

>>719110981
Don't forget that everyone has a special bond event after the memory reveal in 2nd scenario

>>719112923
Nintendo literally censored this game, they hate it and only begrudgingly hosted it with compromises. Why the fuck would they promote it?

>>719113195
Because I really liked the good routes in the game and want more of it, it's not that hard to understand.

>>719112923
im not seeing it happening this year
Kodaka was shilling his game in China this month, doubt he had time to write anything

I just started it and then dropped it, I already dread that it will be a slog of repetitive browsing the school after every story progression

>>719109740 (OP)
I don't know if it's localization or whatever but from what I've seen the writing is shit. I don't mean just dialogue, I've seen the typical mistakes bad writers make where they want to force some sort of event or situation and the characters become retarded, or even more than they usually are, and say/do shit that wouldn't make sense in order to reach that status instead of the characters reaching that point logically.

>>719113396
I don't think they have a choice at this point, each direct is getting smaller and smaller with each one and they need to pad out the direct's length.

Also Hundred Line has been on two direct's already, it wouldn't be odd to see it again.

>>719109740 (OP)
>You will never be a stay-at-home husband taking care of the kids while Hiruko goes out and fucks other men
Why live?

>>719109740 (OP)
I completed every route in which Darumi stays alive. I refuse to touch any route where I lose my wife.

>>719111614
Why get it for Switch when you could get it for Switch 2?

>>719109740 (OP)
It's too long

>>719114114
out of curiosity, did you see what happend to her in Box of Blessing?

>>719114578
It's already been confirmed by Kodaka that it's not the real Darumi, it's just a clone.

>>719109740 (OP)
I played it to both endings, it's ok-ish in 2 routes and horrible in most others.

>>719109740 (OP)
Because most of the content I went through past the prologue was either bland, repetitive or mediocre.
I stopped playing after Multiple Eitos, which was the only route worth a damn out of the handful I went through past the prologue, and then moved on.

I'm lying I actually kept going for a bit.
I don't know what route did I fall into after Multiple Eitos though.
I remember Eva destroyed Sirei and Shouma was acting like he learned some sort of horrific truth. Probably another piece of the Kamukura Hospital flashback or whatever.
Still, I'm not going back to it anytime soon, that's for sure.

>>719115150
>which was the only route worth a damn
This is a crazy thing to say about the worst route in the game.

>>719115638
Not even remotely close to be the worst.
Not in a game where CoA, Romance and BoB exist.
I'm sorry for your massive shittaste.
Multiple Eitos and its schizokino content was very enjoyable.

>>719113382
Well, most of them. Still don't understand why a few are missing for that scenario

>>719114863
he also said Ima dont love Kako romantically, I took both answers as 'please dont get mad' cope

>>719114578
I did. Based Gaku cucking me out of the 2 hottest and retarded girls in the game.

>>719109740 (OP)
>Danganronpa 1's ending was beyond shit, and the sequel's first hour left such a bad taste in my mouth that I never gave it another try
>All the character designs look grating to my eyes
Plus, the idea of having "100 endings" sounds like something that's meant to attract underages or people who think big number = good. For an ending to be satisfying and memorable, it has to resonate the themes and messages you've shown throughout the story, but if you have a triple-digit number of "different" endings, then you either have to do something truly historical and create a monolithic beast of a game, or you have to water everything down to the point where it's Mass Effect 3 levels of "blue green red" type choices. And judging from how little hype I've seen, this game is not the former.

That being said, some of my favorite video games were ones I hated at first, so maybe I'm just retarded and being the average /v/edditor, shitting on games I haven't played. Either way, I'm just making excuses to post this Celeste.

>>719115786
Multiple Eitos was the epitome of this >>719113693
Like what the fuck is literally every other character doing during that route.

>>719111614
that reminds me of one Aletta Ocean porn, good times.

>>719115150
Shouma was acting like he learned some sort of horrific truth. Probably another piece of the Kamukura Hospital flashback or whatever
That's one of the main routes with major reveals.

>>719117106
Figures.
Took way too long for something like that to happen desu, something that is significant to the overarching story and that isn't handwaved like the SIREI Project files.
And given the day count it wasn't just him going over the same flashback with everyone in the pods talking about how he thinks they were all experimented on for the nth time, is it? It's something more meaningful, right?

Still haen't touched it since i got like half the endings? How is the new difficutly like? Does it shake up the gameplay enough?

>>719117547
Yeah it's more than that. I don't know how much he said already in your playthrough, but that entire route is basically the "learn most of the truth" one. I feel you with you on the endless padding of the game and shit routes, I finished all of them and there's a ton of pointless garbage in there alongside the routes that are actually interesting and should have been the whole game.

>>719117567
special attacks take 2 AP and everything one hit kills you unless you have armor
hp values didnt change so old cheese strats still work

>>719109740 (OP)
I love it when a woman is built like a battleship, like, robust but still aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

Trannylization aside, is it fun?

I never played the devs games, but I like multiple romance options

>>719109740 (OP)
That's a man baby.

>>719119083
Only in the english dub, but yeah.

>>719109740 (OP)
I only play VNs very rarely

>>719118965
i like it but its deeply flawed, plot can move at snail's pace and game will regularly throw something retarded at you
it has a demo if you are remotely interested

>>719109740 (OP)
I got like 33 endings and got both 2nd scenario endings and im honestly satisified and i really dont want to go back to kill eito routes

>>719119663
The latter are the better routes. 2 scenario was mid followed by a cliche ending.

>>719112432
>spoiler
I will buy your game now

>>719111484
I was done in a week because I looked up what routes were where and only did the ones I wanted. Still love the game, 20 something endings done including SF.

>>719109740 (OP)
>play cult of takumi route because apparently its full of sex
>get raped by Eito
what the FUCK bros

>>719119663
There's only 4 and 2 of them are pretty enjoyable, while 1 is schlocky but okay. Comedy route sucks balls though.

I have every ending but the Comedy routes. Convince me to 100% the game

>>719120127
Enjoy!
Cuck!

>>719109740 (OP)
isnt it grid tactical turn based gameplay?
not really interested

>>719109740 (OP)
>Why aren't (You) playing Kodaka's latest slop

Do you even need to ask?

>>719118965
its okay. The issue is that about 50 hours of it is kino, and the other 50 hours is objectively bloated trash. But if you dont use a guide you might be playing 20-30 hours of bloat until you get to the good stuff.

This game doesnt have traditional romance routes like a regular VN though. Some routes you'll kiss some girls and even have sex, but its just something in the background. There is one extended route called the romance but its like a few hours out of 100.

>>719120284
Literally the only route where you fix your childhood friend.

>>719119083
>>719119134
>female character gets voiced by a man in dub
>somehow that means the character is a man too, even if the VA does such a good job at voicing her that you wouldn’t even notice that she’s voiced by a dude
Do /pol/fags really…?

>>719109740 (OP)
I love danganronpa and rain code and have spent thousands of hours on those games
this game is just terrible, it does close to everything wrong

>>719120350
Comedy routes uber suck but you could probably speed through them. The real killer is the serial battles route if you put in the grind for that everything else is short comparatively.

>>719120575
I did notice actually.

Oh for anyone bothered by the revive o matic in Slasher I solved it for myself awhile ago watching other people play it.

the revive o matic is fucked with very early on the Kg/Mystery route and is what allows Gaku to die and not be picked up by a drone. Takumi G is shown to be the culprit who killed Gaku, so of course he must’ve messed with the machine to allow it. This can be pieced together before SF due to Hiruko confirming Takumi G is the one who kills Sirei no matter what and Kako G doesn’t show up till like day 20 something. So, if Takumi G fucked with the machine in KG/Mystery, why wouldn’t he do it in Slasher? He seems to have, albeit it’s very annoying they never confirm it but maybe they hoped people would remember details enough to apply it like that.

>>719112923
I dont think they've had any time to prepare the DLC

>>719121060
I think so as well, they didn’t know if they were going to exist or not based on the sales before the game came out so no way they’d put in any work besides what they had. Some tweets from some of the writers confirm that to like ‘guess we’re doing dlc now’

>>719109740 (OP)
>VN by the hack that made Danganronpa
Who even wanted this? Was anyone expecting anything but a disappointment?

>>719109740 (OP)
I did a few routes and needed a break

>>719121367
To be fair, he only wrote 2 routes then handed it to the other writers and Uchikoshi to direct it all so it’s majority Uchikoshi and other writers. Then when they weren’t going to meet the deadline Uchikoshi said either he helps or they don’t have 100 endings so he ended up co writing a number of routes and writing a 3rd one solo at the last minute because no one else was available.

>>719121994
Part from interview where he said he was forced to help

finished all 100 endings. not worth it

>>719110014
dlc? whats it about?

>>719121994
So you are telling me that he is the type of guy that takes all the credit if something goes right, but if something goes wrong, he will promptly throw everyone under the bus, and blame the failure on everyone except himself.

Yeah, sounds like a hack that stumbled into success.

>>719122248
Other odd thing of his mindset is he even says here he didn’t think branching stories were good but then he had this idea, then asked Uchikoshi to help him do it cause he does those types of games. Didn’t consider at all trying it for himself just asked Uchikoshi to make something out of his initial route and setting

>>719109740 (OP)
I did like 60 endings and decided that the rest is not worth it
Also I hate Uchikoshi now

>>719112197
What was even offensive to troons in the original dialogue?

>>719120920
No, /pol/-kun, looking him up on BTVA after being told is not noticing things

>>719122241
Unknown.
Kodaka just said he was interested in adding new routes in the form of DLC, he didn't give any details.

>>719109740 (OP)
I dont know what that is

>>719120575
>even if the VA does such a good job at voicing her that you wouldn’t even notice that she’s voiced by a dude
I noticed immediately and promptly switched to jap audio.

>>719123526
VN/TRPG hybrid made by the Danganronpa dude and Uchikoshi.

>>719123561
No you didn't. You just suffer from brainrot.

>>719123647
Nigger it is painfully obvious that she's voiced by a tranny. Literally the first line out of her mouth made me stop and do a double take, and the second had me double check on BtVA to be sure. Afterwards I quit out (because you have to restart the game to change audio for some reason) to change the audio because I was not about to listen to a tranny for 100 hours.

>>719123313
Nothing, but they aren't happy unless you pander to them. Or they pander to themselves since they're probably the ones translating shit now.

I'm broke.

>>719124112
My friend beat the game pirated, although unfortunately for him it was lacking a lot of quality of life things like more skips and skipping the Sirei announcements. Hopefully more updated uploads by now

>>719112923
did the game do that well for dlc?

>>719109740 (OP)
I played to Day 20 something and got bored. The "gameplay" was repetitive and boring. The plot was just alright. The characters were pretty uninteresting. I only really liked Darumi and Tsubasa and even they weren't super interesting. Overall, from what I played, it was maybe like a 4/10. Good thing I pirated it.

Uchikoshi and Kodaka games have been off my radar for a while until I beat Danganronpa V3 last week. I downloaded the demo but haven't tried it yet. I'll probably buy it when it's on a sale.

>>719124731
Anything with Ima. His VA makes me diamonds.

>>719124731
I think a route that goes past day 100 would be interesting, I also want the short routes to be updated.

On a scale from Nirvana Initiative to 999, where does it land?

They need to go back and expand KGR since it has so many dead ends.

I want to but I also started a bunch of games before and I don't want to start new stuff again

>>719124367
I pirate when I'm truly desperate, but lately I've really just liked steam keeping track of my playtime and stuff, along with the cloud save for if I fall off

Is Takumi's bare butt shown in the game? We have seen Makoto's and Nagito's bare butts in Danganronpa

>>719117547
>>719125562
The way Shouma's acting in this route is specially unsettling desu.

>>719125536
I agree with that, If Slasher can have two paths in it, then KG should as well.

>>719123801

>>719126680
I think the dub is pretty good with Ima and Kyoshika as the exceptions. Goodbye Eito’s ending comparing the EN vs the JP dub I much prefer the EN delivery. JP treats the final lines as internal monologue while the EN treated it as spoken dying dialogue

Main plot is quite weak, and the most predictable thing either main writer has made. I think the actual appeal is that it's a Bloated mess on purpose, like all the supplementary side stories, as well as just a bunch of fanfiction normally made for a hit series, is included in the actual game; This is certainly a unique premise.

I only saw every ending recently, the game is bloated as fuck.
I left SF for last. You fuckers lied to me, you never actually go to the satellite and do stuff. Also SF doesn't spoiler the fake memories twist, only 2nd scenario reveals that.
And what's with all the things happening with 0 explanation? Nozomi getting sparkly? The white cloaked scientist that's neven shown? Robotic bees? Kako-G and Takumi-G still on the loose? That ending scene after the first 100 days?

>That ending scene after the first 100 days?
the remaining survivors on route 0 learned the truth of their existence on the satellite, like in 2nd scenario route

>>719129292
>>719128779
And there were implications of a civil war happening at the satelite, weren't there?

i finished all routes (that arent roadblocked) in spare eito timeline. are the routes in the other timeline any better?

>>719129596
the best routes are on the spare side but there's a few good ones on the kill path as well, namely slasher, killing game, and mystery

Why does Takumi goes past day 100 on some routes if he's stuck on a loop?

>>719130339
That was specified in SF dumbass play the game. Although it is more like an excuse

Oh hey, it's literally Danganronpa V3 all over again.
Cool.

>>719130672
Not to mention the artificial satellite being very similair to V3's "gopher project" fake plot twist.

I want other hot blooded straight men to want a happy end for Takumi and Darumi. Write some shit. I’ve posted my ideas a shit ton of times. I wanna see others

I'm kinda just laughing at the absurdity of it all desu.

>>719126030
>>719130672
God I fucking hate Shouma.

When the dlc comes out I want a route where the fucker dies at the very start so I don't have to look at him.

>>719110014
Same. Has there been a release window/roadmap mentioned?

>>719122241
Most likely post game where they escape to the artifical satellite and shit hits the fan like we were teased in ending 1. Also they teased that older Hiruko is time traveling using the Gi ie space ship. They mentioned her many times but never got fully revealed.

>>719131723
Reminder that its canon that Takumi cucked Shouma and knocked Eva up in a loop.

>>719131761
Nope, all we know is that they're "working on it" with nothing concrete.

The most likely spot we'll hear about dlc is the japanese nintendo direct in september, or when Kodaka goes back to china in october for the Hundred Line event.

>>719128779
All set up for a sequel/DLC continuing off of SF. SF ending is the only true ending, and they still have to fight the masterminds behind everything. Shit will probably go wrong, and Hiruko will end up time traveling to save everyone

>>719132346
I'm im no rush. The game was the perfect VN for me and I want them to take their time with DLC

>>719109740 (OP)
This game was like pulling teeth, we didn't even get a kako romance.

>>719132105
Still my favorite ending in the game, I want to see dlc that keeps going after this ending.

>>719128667
HL is my favorite. I found all the different stories engaging and character writing solid. I also avoided all spoilers including that the game turns into a time looper.

HL, VLR and DR2 are all 10/10s for me, but HL is probably my favorite.Overall for me its
HL>DR2>VLR>DRV3>A1>DR3 anime> AINI> DR1> ZTD> RC> 999
And thats not to say either are bad, all of the games ranked are 9+/10

>>719120352
it seems you don't have what it takes to fix her anon

>playing this and wow at the same time
two huge games taking all of my time and my backlog keeps increasing

>>719132539
Her brother would find a way to join in like he did in Cult of Takumi anyways.
>>719132626
They also did Tsubasa really dirty in her romance route since she died tragically on the bus. She needs a do-over.

>>719121994
Other way around, Uchikoshi is only credited with 2 routes and the timey wimey bullshit, while Kodaka is credited on 10 different routes, half of them co-written with another writer. Uchikoshi's 2 routes are also some of the worst, and the concepts he introduces pollute a handful of other routes.

>>719120352
>Implying shes talking about men and not her sister wives in Takumi's harem

>>719123313
they like to say sex =/= gender but actually they want their retarded gender shit to completely supplant something actually quantifiable like sex

>>719120350
I enjoyed them. If you ever complained about V3s ending, this routes ending is for you

Is there a way to not play the boring turn-based battle parts? The characters are okay enough (not as good as Danganronpa or Zero Escape so far, though), but Jesus the battles feel so boring. I love FFTA but couldn't stand this fight system.

>>719133568
Yes, if theres a similar battle in branching routes it lets you skip them, its pretty generous too. They also just announced a patch is coming that lets you skip even more fights that are similar to others

>>719133718
Cool. If you wouldn't mind to talk more, do you think the game is worth it? I loved Danganronpa and Zero Escape, but still haven't felt that sparkle in this game. I'm just a few hours in, though. Thank you random anon.

>>719120350
The Comedy ending where Takumi blows up from rage was really funny.

>>719133818
To me its the perfect love child between the two series, both all time favorites of mine.

>>719109740 (OP)
I did route 0 but I'm not putting 80 more hours into a JRPG if it's name isn't disgaea or until the dlc drops

Its a shame that a VN could never win GOTY. So far my personal GOTY contenders are DK, Claire Obscur, and Last Defense Academy.

>>719110583
>You see, it's good because they added joke rewrites that amuses me
You're no different than any AAfags. Then again, the fanbase often overlaps so I'm not surprised.

The only two girls that Takumi fucks in the game are the ones hes not related to (possibly a third since its implied he married Eva's daughter in the one ending). Hiruko and Tsubasa both come close, but they didn't go all the way. Seems the writers are fully okay with incest love plotlines but don't want siblings actually banging.

I finished 51 endings and I couldn't stomach doing anymore. Retsnom was the last ending I finished and I'm currently on the killing game route, don't know if I'll ever finish it

>>719136654
I'm looking forward to it because the unique setting sounds like Kodaka will have to get creative with his plot twists this time around. It could very easily end up being half-assed though.

>>719137903
Why do people want more of these? I felt even the 2nd was pushing it on the rehash and that one's considered the peak by many.

>>719137630
Curious to see if they can pull the of the different adventure game aspect of it.

>>719137903
Rain Code did well for Spike Chunsoft and will probably get a follow up at some point. Hundred Line did well enough for them to be considering doing DLC for it.

>>719136654
I don't think Kodaka gives a flying fuck about the game, for a game that comes out in 9 days, he just posts the bare minimum for it and then reposts Hundred Line posts aftewards.

>>719137903
>flop after flop comes

>friend told me it had strategy gameplay like FE
>didn't tell me it was just a fucking VN

I did 1 extra route just to save the MC's GF, and then dipped. the writing was retarded, and the "gameplay" was extremely unfinished.
at least it was something to do when my internet was down for a few days.

>>719132370
The true ending is 2nd scenario though, thats why in the credits all the non-canon endings are listed in a seperate section from the canon prologue and second scenario

i pirated it
actually i kind of like it
but i don't know if I have enough time to get through all 100 days and especially not 100 times!

Getting old means wearing whatever the fuck you want. This is the 60s anymore, you look like a weirdo wearing suits in public even as a old man.

Did you like Uchikoshi's OCs?

Uchikoshi can't write characters for shit, it makes me wonder how bad it is in his own games.

Yeah he only wrote 2 but he was in charge of directing fucking everything and making everything connect

Bro? your ending 066: Romance Route: Consolation?

>>719109740 (OP)
I literally just was. Currently doing the Killing Game route.

>>719142945
Man, every route without Darumeme is so boring to me. Doesn't help that a lot of routes are also locked behind the Kyoshika choice too since she's my 2nd fave character.

>>719124731
Omorashi route

>>719131413
It's because they can't help but make their polfag nonsense their entire personality and don't actually know how to form their own opinions without buzzwords.

There's a hard difficulty that got added post launch which I haven't played., but I did find the gameplay fun until they run out of scenarios,, but pretty quick after that you can skip 99% of fights and it's mostly just pure VN at that point.

>>719126070
Isn't mystery basically that?

>>719143242
It’s sad that Kodaka’s intentions for her character prove that how she felt about herself was true in Retsnom.

I like looking at the author stuff, and like speculating on who did what. Curious if Kodaka did the character focused part of Retsnom and Ren Sudo was the horror elements. And the parts where she was introspective about being the one no one would miss is an unfortunate insight on why he made her and why she’s the first to die in his sort of canon route

>>719143504
I would count those Mystery paths as "very long bad endings"

>>719109740 (OP)
Ronpa?

>>719137903
fun fact, Project Eden Garden's reveal trailer has more views than all the Hundred Line trailers combined.
People crave for a new DR.

>>719143504
Mystery just ends up being a stepping stone for SF.

>>719143546
She was wrong. It was I the player who would miss her the most... I'll be honest I've done all of the Kill Eito routes and lost my motivation to do the spare routes where she's not in it. Killing Game route ending was good enough for me I suppose..

>>719143695
Why though? Not every thing has to be happy. I mean 2nd scenario is definitely one of the most bleak.
I could agree that it might be unfinished on it's own, though, but that's what the story lock is for.

>>719143792
I unironically do, I miss the courts and actual danger, THL feels too safe and chatgpty for me

>>719138075
Rain Code was shit though, the hundred line was better because its at least something more than a lazy worse clone of danganronpa

>>719128779
It's the whole point of the route, vs 2nd Scenario
The game asks, what is a real true ending?
a) Everyone dies but truth is revealed
b) Everyone lives but nothing is revealed

>>719143792
Danganronpa was too good for this world desu

>>719143962
My problem with them is the same thing with the KG dead ends, it ends with everyone or Takumi's death.

The story for that ending just ends there and that's it, the only exception is in Slasher, when you control Nozomi after Takumi dies, I thought that was cool.

You're not supposed to get all the endings if you don't want to. Outside of Zero, 2nd, and I suppose S.F, it's clear Hundred Line is more of a setting.

>>719143792
I've never played DR1 or DRV3, I do not care for danganronpa anymore.

>>719142476
TB was always shit because the baseball is boring and the world makes no fucking sense

>>719139130
>like he's 20
do modern humans really?

>>719138385
Holy shit I just learned about this game and that ITS coming in a few fucking days. I think even Kodaka knows 90% of his success is using Danganronpa aesthetic, music and vibes

>>719144032
>The game asks, what is a real true ending?
I like how people try to make it sound deep when the reason is simply that they did not want one route to overshadow another. If you learned stuff in SF it would make 2nd scenario pointless so they did not allow it.
This game is more like a compilation of parody games loosely coupled together than it is a single game with a coherent plot and choices. Basically every route is just a ripoff of a VN or anime with it's single specific gimmick. That is why none really feel satisfying.
Most of your choices don't even lead to logical ends that follow from them they are just arbitrary route splits.

I think they could've partially fixed this by doing more with the story locks they could still have their dramatic twists but also include them in other routes, but they probably didn't want to bank on people having the patience to do lots of routes and it feels like they were already struggling as is to maintain any consistency between these different routes from different writers.

>>719143792
They should let a new guy handle Danganronpa, it's not like Kodaka or Ushikoshi improved too much

>>719144329
The world makes no sense because it is just a man with godlike powers playing game developer creating a real life dragon quest. Everything was set up specifically so there would be a world with heroes and villains so the heroes can defeat the villains and save the world. Every time you failed a fight and died it canonically happens then the guy just revives you and fucks with your memories. Because the heroes need to defeat the demon lord who is responsible for everything bad ever so when he is gone it means the world is perfect and everyone is happy just like dragon quest.

>>719143892
What you don’t like Retsnom?

And even if you do, you don’t have the motivation to find the route where everyone gets to live happily? That was my main goal when I made it past the first route, I want to find the route where everyone gets to live.

Also if you got any fan route ideas or AUs for these two let them be heard. I want more ideas for Takumi and Darumi as a couple

>>719144662
No, it never made sense from the beginning, aka the original anime, where a bunch of people can decide the entire country's fate playing baseball and nobody seems to care nor visit their place.
TN was really shit and the reason it flopped in gacha too is because they kept pushing those ugly characters

>>719144316
Dr1 aged good, it's still a nice short horror game

>>719144783
I don't doubt it, but watching DR3 soured my opinion on danganronpa as a whole.

>>719145256
Dr3 anime sucks but dr1 is still a great game on its own

HL was a fantastic piece of experimental fiction.
Kodaka wrote some characters and let a bunch of people write official fanfiction of them.
It's a beautiful mess.

Questions about 2nd scenario/truth revealed route

>why didnt the humans have any anti-missile capability on their satellite to shoot down the missile. They mustve thought that the futurans might reverse engineer their tech at some point
>why didnt they just raise their battle clones in a conquering = good culture (eg Spartans, Mongols, Alexander the Great, Manifest Destiny, etc) rather than lie to them if they can control their memories anyway. Would save a potential headache if they find the truth

Questions about SF:
>why didnt the time loop end in ending 100 (mystery route) if every member was brought to one timeline
>why didnt Takumi and Hiruko think to look for the book in another timeline rather than brainwash Eito
>how did Eito know the significance of the time loop book anyway
>what happened to the Wrong Guess Takumi and Hiruko who went to the timeline where Right Guess Takumi blew up the school, and how is it decided which timeline a parallel leaper sees (same happens with comedy/slasher split where SF Takumi gets killed)

I love Yukiko Amagi

>>719133295
She's probably talking about one Takumi from each timeline running a train on her

>>719149742
>2nd
I honestly don't think they ever expected the natives to be able to launch a missile into space. They likely did just get completely blindsided by it even if they do have defense systems.
They didn't want their soldiers to be able to turn around and become another threat. Such a mindset could easily turn them against humanity before they can be properly contained, see cult for an example of them deciding that conquering is good actually

>SF
They are likely wrong about how the time loop works. The best theory I've seen is that they only loop if they are dissatisfied with the result of an ending. Hiruko isn't satisfied unless everyone makes it out alive, Takumi is a bit more malleable. The loop doesn't really "end" completely, it just ends for that version of them. So they never have memories of a result where the loop "ended".
They really gotta try and do everything they can with the timeline they have. No guarantee they'll remember all the same things next try.
He didn't. He just likes reading. He only knew it's significance when Hiruko and Takumi came looking for it.
Pure luck lmao.

>>719149742
>Because they thought the Futurans didn't know how to build missiles, they thought wrong.
>Because they thought that a divisive mindset would be make them more likely to succeed in the mission.


>We don't know, a popular theory is that there was never any timeloops to start with, with only memories being sent back.
>They're dumb
>Because Uchikoshi thinks Eito's specialist skill gives him luck or something dumb like that.
>We don't know what happened to them, I guess there might be a dlc for them at some point.

>>719141315
Its not though. SF specifically mentions the 2nd scenario end boss fight, and how thats a dead end route. 2nd scenario does not break the loop, It might be bittersweet and all, but Nozomi still ends up getting sent back to day 2 like everyone else does.

>>719109740 (OP)
I really need to get back to this game...
Maybe over the holidays during winter break. Don't have the energy right now after work.

>>719149742

SF:
Hiruko kills herself shortly after as seen in a folow up route. But more importantly that ending consist of characters from different timelines surviving. SF explains everyone has to originate from the same timeline to count.
They are limited when they can jump and they are trying to keep everyone alive in their own timeline
He loves to easedrop and manipulate others plans. Also theres a strong chance all characters are able to retain memories from other loops. Hiruko explains that certain events trigger memories to come back so Eito may have experienced that.
On of the ending shows where they end up

>>719153110
Don't worry, I pretty much marathoned route 0 and 2nd scenario and then it took me 3 months to get all 100 endings.
The game is not worth the almost 200 hours it takes to see everything.

>>719153295
I enjoyed all routes.
Every route explains at least one major mystery. Playing just 2nd scenario leaves so much unexplained on its own. Saving SF for last was the best way to go about things in my opinion, although that basically sets up the dlc or a potential future sequel.

>>719137903
Why do people unironically beg to be milked like cows and for the games they like to be devalued into annual commodities?
Like, a lot of communities have baffling behaviours, but everytime I see DR fans act like this I scratch my head.

One of the timelines explains that the Gi'ie spaceship has full ability to timetravel forwards and backwards in time. In another timeline its mentioned that the whitecoat lady (confirmed to be old Hiruko) leaves in that same spaceship. Everything that whitecoat Hiruko did was to assist SF Hiruko in reaching the end of day 100 successfully.

Assuming whitecoat Hiruko is branched from the SF Hiruko that escaped the loop, why go back in time to the 100 day loop to begin with? Why not day 101 instead? Big mystery still left unsolved for the DLC

>>719154637
Probably because she also needs all the Futuran commanders alive. Its not enough that only 19 return to fight the A.S with no ability to revive. They probably all get wiped out except Hiruko, and she instead flees back to the planet, finds the alien ship and starts to loops again in hopes of getting extra support not time around.

>>719141315
Both 2nd and SF have unique ending themes, 2nd is basically default/normal end and SF is good end.

>>719109740 (OP)
Oh yeah this is a game that happened.
Hundred Line is like Danganronpa... except 90% of the game is meaningless bloat bullshit of incredibly middling quality. You have to actively seek out Danganronpa level "quality" routes and even then it doesn't stack up to Danganronpa.
6/10.

>>719155213
Chronologically SF takes place after 2S, and theres no route as of current that occurs after SF

>>719155885
I've never played Danganronpa as I generally avoid VNs that don't have choices or multiple endings. Especially in a mystery/horror focused game it doesn't have the same sense of immersion if i'm not making decisions impacting how things turn out.
Not that the choices in HL were particularly meaningful.

>>719155985
You can interpret it as Kodaka’s ending and Uchikoshi’s ending. Kodaka wrote his story then handed it to the other writers with Uchikoshi directing to do whatever with it. It’s funny to see how little Kodaka knew about what went on in the lock routes, some of his early Q&A answers are just wrong because he wasn’t aware Uchikoshi made 2nd scenario a part of the time loop. He even said on a recent stream he wasn’t aware there were story locks in the game

>>719157345
My biggest complaint about the game is that SF doesnt fully explore a handful of routes. Like the other writers did their best to mention all other routes throughout SF, but only like half of them you actually visit during the jumps.

>>719157345
>>719159242
Theres always time lord Hiruko in lab coat DLC to cope they will connect every story together

>>719120352
When she talks about multiple partners, she's talking about Takumi's from other timelines.

>>719159485
The cope is that that’s pre timeloop Hiruko since Kodaka wrote the bonds (which going off the 6th bond that she’s looking forward to the future really shows that) so she’s hopefully changed her mind after being stuck for 40 years and then Takumi saved her. I would hope that would be enough for her to only have eyes for him who else could possibly measure up

Momo mentions idolizing Sakura from Danganronpa 1. Is it possible Last Defense Academy is in the same universe as Danganronpa because of this? I know this is a false inplanted memory, but someone still had to know about Sakura in the first place to implant the memory

>>719159650
Was that conversation even in the Japanese version?

>>719149742
Even if they did know, they can't really do much about the missile since it's powered by hemoanima, which is impervious to conventional weapons. Only hemoanima can defeat hemoanima.

>>719159650
>someone still had to know about Sakura in the first place to implant the memory
That doesn't imply Sakura existed beyond fiction in LDA's universe though.
It's just a meaningless nod to Danganronpa, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

They better put in a genderbent Eito route in the DLC so the game and the fans can stop being so gay already.

>>719160049

>Eito and Shouma look exactly the same

>Hiruko: Tosses Kako-G into another timeline, which gets them killed multiple times
>Yugamu: Pretends to be a serial killer, acting as cover for the actual serial killer
>Kurara: Goes all-in on the conspiracy route, which gets everyone killed
>Eva: Kills everyone in the SF timeline where you destroy the planet
>Tsubasa: Doesn't go through with the suicide bomb, getting everyone captured and later killed by Vexh'ness
>Moko: Mistakes you for a murderer and kills you
Kyoshika is literally the only character who never does anything stupid enough to get everyone killed. Kyoshika is the smartest character in the game.

>>719124731
would be cool to get a real "join the invaders" route with new playable units (probably not happening).

>>719161810
>Ima
does he? he get himself turned into zombie but situaltion was already beyond saving
>Eva
can you blame her for that?

bug controlling your corpse shouldnt count, Kako does since she opened box

Some fucking actual space aliens showing up and blowing up the satellite and are more powerful/capable than the commanders would be a way to have both sides team up

>>719164923
fair, completely forgot about that

>>719164895
Theres a huge portion of the fanbase dedicated to the Dangan/Kodaka girls. And his game shits on fags anyways. Any lingering fujos are just echo chambers.

is there a true ending? still on the second scenario but is there an ending where everyone lives like i think that's where the story is going?

>>719163976
>currently in EA
Thank you.
Waiting warmly for the full version.

>>719165413
Kinda but it deliberately avoids using the term true ending.

>>719165413
Short answer: Yes

More details without direct spoilers
Theres a locked route that you need to complete most other routes to access. This route ties together most things and has what is pretty undeniably the "true end" with everyone surviving
Little more spoilery
This ending however ends with many thing set up and unanswered, and is pretty much setting the stage for a post game DLC storyline. Story DLC is confirmed, but we dont know if its post game or not yet.

>>719165408
only danganronpa girls, it doesnt matter how much you think this game shits on fags if 5 people draws girls and and rest of fanart and porn is fujoshit

>>719165413
Yes it will be obvious when you get to it but is lackluster.

>>719165885
>>719165413
I'd also argue the bad endings on that route are ultimately more relevant than the good ending.

>>719165885
Kodaka flat out admited he didnt know there were locks and didnt know if they will break even or go under, they didnt plan shit

>>719165981
I wouldn't say its lackluster, even though theo ending is fairly abrupt. Its just missing a final act which seems to be the point of the DLC if they actually commit to following the White Lab Coat Lady/Old Hiruko route.

>>719165413
your favourite ending is true ending, Kodaka said so
less coupe anwser is: there are two 'big' endings and its up to you to decide which you prefer

>>719166178
Kodaka and Uchikoshi are irrelevant when the majority of the plot was written by other writers. Those writers did their best to fit the overarching plot into a narrative that flows together. They have a future plotline already set up with future Hiruko, and its already been confirmed in a Q&A that she is indeed the scientist that kept showing up offscreen. At some point they have to do that storyline

>>719166689
While the one ending has a higher budget and CGI ending, the SF ending directly references that that ending was a bad end and did not break the loop. Since there is a linear story being told with SF, SF has to take place after the 2nd Scenario, which pretty much invalidates that as an ending.

Its pretty much Nirvana Initiative's two major endings all over again.

>>719166205
You kind of just putz around doing errands and then it is over. They're trying to be steins gate but it never has the sense of tension or fighting against fate that you need for it to work. It's very slow paced and undramatic. Most characters barely even interact with you so it feels like a field trip for Takumi and Hiruko. KG did all of this way better where everything is extremely tense and everyone has to pull together to survive. SF is largely focused on filling in small holes in other routes which are not very important in the grand scheme of things. Only real tense point was using the codes at the terminal.

>>719143792
>Project Eden Garden's reveal trailer has more views than all the Hundred Line trailers combined
It's also unironically better than every DR game.

>>719164431
Hit a nerve?

>>719167210
Kodaka also said 2S is outside of loop so we can go back and forth with this
real anwser is Kodaka wanted this this game to be 'choose your own adventure' where anyone can pick their own ending but Uchikoshi put loop shit without telling him so now we have two contradicting styles of storytelling
nothing stoping people from just ignoring SF if they want to

So how do you guys think DLC will be accessed?
Do they just take an existing route and add a new choice in middle of it?
Do they make it some kind of exploration to unlock, such as clicking on an object throughout the school?
If its a continuation of an existing ending, we could pick up at day 101. This might upset some fans though, especially if it continues off of SFs ending which takes like 100+ hours to reach.

I seriously hope the DLC I keep hearing about isn't those short prequel stories like the one for Hiruko.
Considering their memories are fake, I don't even know what's the point of a backstory for them.

>>719109740 (OP)
I was so pissed she disappeared early in the first route and never came back

>>719109740 (OP)

>>719154637

source? last time Kodaka answered a question he just said she was some random lady. Although it obviously would be time traveling Hiruko for anyone with a brain

>>719169823
Yup. That's absolutely true.

>>719169868
she's boring

but takumi should standing and they would be sitting down

Anyone disappointed the highlight of the game was the culmination of route 0?

>>719169816
Based proud cuck.

>>719169026
dunno what they will do but I think they should do a bit of everythin, even its own dlc chart
for example, people want more Darumi but how do you go about it? choice to reject retsnom plan and just accept 2tLA is gone for good and go from there would be cool. its own little story without heavy baggage free to do whatever would also be cool
>If its a continuation of an existing ending, we could pick up at day 101
Kodaka said hes intrested in doing that, including other routes than SF

>>719170401
I liked Second Scenario more. It's so difficult to find true despair kino which isn't pity bait or mysery porn.

>>719170457
yeah

There are 2 suggestions how to improve the game
1) Kako needs to be louder, angrier and have access to a time machine.
2) Whenever Kako's not on screen, all the other characters should be asking, "Where's Kako?"

>can't deal with serial battles route
>start doing everything else
>pick serial battles again, there's like 25 days left
>the only battle I'm unable to skip is the very last one
Another proof the game is a bloated mess.

>>719171691
I played serial battles before they made the whole thing skipable and ruined the point of it. I just did it off and on in while doing romance and comedy.

I enjoy VNs or Danganronpa stuff but not stupid tactical shit. I will never play it because of that. I don't get why they insist on making VNs with tactical RPG crap in it.

>>719171887
There isn't much of a tactic.
Takumi solos everything after you upgrade Impact Stab and the movement potions.

One of the most overrated visual novels. I don't know why this one is always used as the standard for themes like fighting against fate when that has already been done better elsewhere.

Apparently this got patched recently and you can skip it now. Update is released on steam, but not live for Switch yet.

Unpopular characters like her don't deserve routes.
