I'm also special since I made the thread, it'll always be highlighted for me~
Made it to the investigation phase of chapter 2. I'm 2 for 2 on guessing who gets the axe. lol
It's pretty cool how they force you to choose who you spend free time with. You invest in them only for them to potentially just die. Very fitting for the type of game it is.
3 problems with class trials:
- Some people like Makoto speak too slowly
- The rhythm battles are nonsense
- The switching and firing speed of truth bullets are too slow. Once I come across a nonstop debate where I don't predict what I'll need to do ahead of time I probably won't be able to switch bullets, fire, and hit the bullet in time even if I saw the contradiction the instant the words appeared. Seems a bit cheap.
But the trials are still pretty cool. Putting a timer on things definitely amps up the pressure.

I've got a question concerning the resolution of chapter 3:
Without spoiling anything that comes next, what exactly would have happened if the plan had been executed without Celeste tying up the loose end? If Hifumi were still alive and the class trial had happened with Hiro being falsely labeled the blackened, would both Hifumi and Celeste have survived even though the only one who committed a murder was Hifumi?
I thought that regardless of any type of cooperation, there could only be one blackened? Or is there a big exception that if you're the one who basically plans the murder to that extent, you'd also be counted as a blackened in addition to the actual killer?

only the person that commits the murder goes free, so celes would be executed with the rest of them while he went free.
Then...
Hifumi was a massive idiot for not realizing that? He should have seen Celeste's plan as flawed, from his perspective, from the very start.

Only the person that commits the actual murder is blackened. There's no room for accomplices since there's nothing to win unless you commit a murder yourself, which was what Celeste used to trick Hifumi into killing Taka, she'd help him stage a murder and then she'd murder someone else herself so they'd both theoretically get out
What he didn't realize was that only the person who masterminded the crime gets blackened, not simply the person who did the deed. How Celeste explained it was that he would kill someone, then Celeste would kill someone, and they would both be considered the 'blackened' and therefore could both graduate.

Yes, but
the plan was for Celeste to murder someone else while Hifumi murdered Taka. She just never told him who that would be.
Ah, it's the last part that I must have missed. That would make sense, in that case.
More CH 3
Of course, this was before Monokuma mentioned to the entire group that only one blackened, regardless of how many murders are committed by separate people, can leave. I get the impression that Celes might have asked Monokuma that in private.

Man, this game. Finished chapter 1 and I can't believe I was even considering not playing this. Loving the presentation, and the premise / plot might as well have been specifically made for me.
Chapter 1 spoilers:
Chapter 1 spoilers:
Sayaka was high up my list of potential fruit loops, so the truth about her actions clicked reasonably early on. I'm pro-devious/unstable girls so I think I actually liked her more by the time the trial was over, though that didn't stop me swearing repeatedly at the realisation that she tried to throw Makoto under a bus. Kinda wish she'd made her final message a bit less overt, since it left the mystery deader than she was.
Leon, dude, you deserve everything you get for thinking with your balls. Geddit, balls? Felt slightly bad for him for being a pseudo-victim and for not knowing about the trial beforehand, otherwise he's no great loss. His execution was funky as hell and I can't wait to see what future showcases Monokuma has in store.
I'm probably hoping against hope here, but please let Celeste live through all this. Pretty please with frilly lace on top?

It's
Debi Derryberry, aka Jimmy Neutron, Zatch Bell, Nergal Junior... she voiced a couple of childhood cartoon characters, and i'm sure she's doing both voices.
And yeah chapter 3 was amazing for all of those reasons you stated. I mean it's decidedly obvious that it's her; the only question was how & why, and the execution was perfect on all fronts. I seriously didn't expect Hifumi to be roped in either, which is was surprising. He struck me as a type to make it to the very end.
Also Chihiro has literally become the embodiment of hope. B)

You can trust me, cuz i'm the ultimate listener. Execute me if i'm wrong.
Oh man, Chapter 3 is starting to get weeiiirrrddd....
Okay, I seriously want to see where this is going.
Edit: Awww snap, investigation time......*few minutes minutes later* WUUUUUTTTTTT.
Freakin' guy dressed up as a robot kidnapping people & whackin' them with hammers?

Taka got whacked as well along with Hifumi?! Damn, & just as he got a transformation!

Well it's nice to get some more character development, but it's not like you NEED the trial skills you get from them. I would though.
The skills you get are pretty helpful, and it's always nice to mix things up with a light hearted moment.
As awesome as that would be if it were her, it's not
Heh, so much for the "Ultimate Listener."

what what what what WHAT?!?!
Oh no, I just realized i've made a GRAVE MISTAKE.
It's Tabitha St.Germain
I'm 101% positive, you can slam the book on me if i'm wrong. Though if you don't respond, then i'll take that as a concession that i'm right!
JUST YOU WATCH
Decently long. The game will tell you during a class trial tutorial when you're halfway through it, though I felt the halfway point was a little more than 60% of the way through.

Out of curiosity, what's the platinum situation like for this? Multiple playthroughs?
1320mbHaha, sorry, I actually meant the size/GB
1.3 GB, I think.
Y'know, this sounds about right.
i'm listening to her demo reel and i'm not hearing it. is there a better example that matches celeste's voice than that?
Just finished chapter 3 as well.
the executioner and fireman monokuma are the most adorable things ever.
That said, I guessed most of the twists in the case with him still being alive and all. As others have said it had a really good AA vibe to it with defending the person who's initially presented as the culprit then revealing the true person beyond it.

The Ultimate Pompadour.
Pretty sure that's just his hair. Not sure how anyone takes a motorcycle gang serious when their leader's head looks like it has a corn on the cob on it. All he's missing is some butter.
There's a chapter select screen so I don't believe you'd have to replay the whole game to get any trial trophy. The school mode trophies require multiple playthroughs of school mode since you can't see everyone's school mode ending in one playthrough. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong though.
Sorry, but...
Anyway, I can't play this game anymore in case you do end up getting it right. So that's all from me!
(Really do wish I could confirm, though.)
Doing Chapter 3's trial & I really like how over time, a new mechanic is added to one of the sections you have to do, keeping things fresh. Heck, the fact that (not really a spoiler, but a nice detail to discover during Chapter 2)
is rather nice to see as well.
the courtroom changes design with each case

What...? No way. Ok I give, I'm ready for my execution.
I... I give up.
OTL
Unless I AM right and you're just saying to avoid getting into legal issues.

Well the only clue we have on who the voice belongs to (beyond the actual voice itself) is she is a native French speaker that had an accent at one point, lost it, but can turn it on and off.
Can we figure anyone out based on that? Really sucks not getting credit for your work, even if it is for legal reasons.
What other voices are uncredited?
I don't think that's necessarily true at all, unless it was officially stated somewhere.
Extremely loud, prolonged noises causing excessive blood loss from ears.
Why can't they reveal the voice list anyway? I mean, it's out now. What's the big deal?
I was thinking drills in the ears, but your way sounds better.

Houk said it earlier in the thread.
Ah, then you're right, that is an interesting clue.

Oh, and she's also French Canadian apparently, so that might help.
Sorry if trying to figure this out will get you in trouble Houk
The actor in question is very likely unionized, and this was very likely a non-union job. I'lll admit I don't fully understand the politics of it, but suffice to say, it's a no-no. Plenty of VAs usually take on alibis or their name is never let out entirely in these cases. Naoto from Persona 4, for instance, was a similar case. And it's why she had an all new voice for the Animation, as the people responsible for that dub couldn't actually find her.
