I don't know,
to me it seemed like the game was going out of its way to tell you to trust Kyoko. That's just me though. I guess not being in a Phoenix Wright mindset helped.
Even if I wasn't in a Phoenix Wright mindset
I would have totally pointed out her lie 'cause screw trusting her. Of course, that wasn't the right call, but whatever.
Yeah, that mindset
made me pretty torn on that decision, but ultimately I went with my gut. Not like it really matters since you need to get the bad end to complete the gallery anyway.

End of Chapter 5:
Well, trusting Kyoko would have still killed me if Alter Ego hadn't intervened at the last moment.

I never said she was actually trustworthy, just that was what the game seemed to be nudging you towards.
random thoughts about each chapter
1:
Not all that fond of the minigames studded within the trials. Too many things to keep track of, too finicky, too busy.

3:
Started Chapter 4 tonight. Feels like an obvious case, hoping for something that'll blow my mind. Wish I hadn't run out of free time scenes with
1:
Good introduction, sets the right tone, and the focus was never on who but why, which I liked. The scenario reminds me of something like Wool, or a Fallout Vault.
2:
Only one to surprise me in the trial itself; went in figuring that it would just result in Byakuya-kun ( ˘ ³˘
♥'s narrative falling apart, but it did a swerve and landed on Owada instead. Enjoyed the way it incorporates silly hijinks from earlier in the chapter to extend the case. The execution (and the questions surrounding it) seems to hint at a... game show? Still sticking with the Fallout Vault Tribute scenario.

Naegi's constant flailing about as he belabors the obvious was a little frustrating here. Thought this was the worst out of the three - too simple, no amusing twist, just a basic progression of events that you can figure out as it happens. Ishimaru became unbearable after Owada died, but I wish Fukawa had died with him instead of Yamada. Her alter ego is the worst character in the game.

Well... This got about the response I expected when I read it. Careful there.
Some people really like GenoJill as a character.

Alright hold on
Chapter 5:
Thank God for multiple saves slots
Chapter 5:
If I avoid the lie, I'm the killer, but if I pursue it, Kyoko's the killer but apparently that'll be wrong too...but that's only according to her. I'm pretty sure the main character dying is the bad end so I think I'm gonna go ahead and pursue it.

W-what's your problem?!
Maybe you should see it through before jumping the gun...?
Well, maybe not. Won't change things either way.
About to head into Ch. 6 Trial. Deduction:
QED, bitches!
Of course,
. Oh well, we'll see if I'm right.
Yay for bad long-term memory
Edit: Yup,
Junko is the mastermind. Everyone suspects Makoto after going into the gym, which means the headmaster told them who the mastermind was...but they didn't directly say Makoto was, because that would be 1) A lie, and 2) Too straightforward. So Monokuma must have said something like "The mastermind's face isn't in this photo!", because if the purpose of the photo was simply to establish the presence of 15 students, Monokuma (and the game designers) wouldn't have so blatantly blocked Junko's face out like that.
Of course,
that makes Byakuya a total moron for not seeing that
Yay for bad long-term memory
Edit: Yup,
Byakuya's an idiot
Man, you are so not like your character.

Trying not to read too much of this thread but I'm to understand Feep is the VA of Byakuya?

I think it's about time I posted the updated version of the ENG dub voice actor list.
I may have screwed up the last time, but this one's the real deal!!!
(Out of courtesy for the people playing through the game i'll keep it bare bones)
English dub cast
Makoto: Bryce Papenbrook (confirmed)
Kyoko: Erika Harlacher (confirmed)
Byakuya: Feep (confirmed)
Toko: Amanda Miller (confirmed)
Sayaka: ???
Leon: Grant George (confirmed)
Kiyotaka: Sean Chiplock (confirmed)
Celeste: ???
Hifumi: Lucian Dodge (confirmed)
Aoi: Cassandra Morris (confirmed)
Sakura: Jessica Gee (confirmed)
Chihiro: ???
Mondo: Keith Silverstein (confirmed)
Junko: Amanda Miller (confirmed)
Yasuhiro: Kaiji Tang (confirmed)
Monokuma: Brian Beacock (confirmed)
(Significant spoilers!!!)
(Significant spoilers!!!)
In retrospect, the voice actors aren't that unknown. A lot of them of fairly well known actors in their own right that just happen to float outside of the "Laura Bailey, Yuri Lowenthal, Troy Baker, Tara Platt, etc" anime bubble.

That they do, heh.
midway through Chapter 4: Snooped around the
chem lab and I'm pretty certain now that Sakura killed herself. I guess a part of this certainty comes from how the cast has dwindled, and if it's narrowed down even further, ouch. As the number of characters goes down, the importance of those remaining grows. Which probably means Hagakure is next to go. RIP

Finished the game so that was fun.
Discovered that after doing that, the MonoMono Machine unlocks more presents for you to unlock so...
And here I thought I was already past my despair with this game

Hm picked up the game yesterday and played for 4h - iam just going to start trial 1 and so far i can't really say i like the style of the game. So far it is a bit boring - does this pick up soon or? Also this 2,5 D or whatever it is is really ugly and takes away from the atmosphere. Anyway questions:
- MonoMono Machine what is this for - i mean what are the items for? And are the coins you get only for this machine?
- Why is the blood pink?
- Does this game get better soon (as i said iam 4h in and not really sure if i should just return the game)
- also school life is boring, do i miss something if i just sleep it out?
cheers!

you get presents to give your classmates for schoolmode. you also can get some extra plot related items this way.
- Why is the blood pink?
originally it was to avoid an Z rating in Japan (eq. of an AO), and it just stuck as a series staple
- Does this game get better soon (as i said iam 4h in and not really sure if i should just return the game)
have you gotten to the first trial yet? it starts picking up after that trial/the first execution
- also school life is boring, do i miss something if i just sleep it out?
you miss out on potential skills for the class trials, which can help quite a bit. so yes, you'd miss that and character backstory

Items are presents you can give to the other characters on your free time to fill their report cards faster. Few items also unlock some bonus events. Coins are only for them.
Blood is pink mainly because of style choice I guess. Might be to help with ratings since it's kids gettin killed after all.
And as for when the game gets good, I don't really know what to tell you if you absolutely don't like the game at all by the end of chapter 1. Might just not be for you.

You need to get to the end of the first trial before dropping it. If you don't like it by then, you probably aren't going to like it at all.
I actually disagree. I'm near the end of the game right now, and I didn't really like the first two chapters very much, but I really like the game overall. The first two chapters were kinda meh to me, I still enjoyed the game to a certain extent but I had a lot of issues with the game which I went over earlier in this topic. But by chapter 3 a lot of them started to bug me less and I started to get more engrossed in the story, especially since
the cast improved as the characters that bored me all either died off or got more development, and the actual plot started to move along at a better pace as characters started uncovering the secrets of the high school.
Yeah, totally. Fits perfectly with the whole "everything is relatively cutesy, but grim" art aesthetic.
Finished 4.

e: Also, (Chapter 4)
The trial was fun; it was worth it to see Togami get so completely shook. Didn't expect the laptop to be destroyed - sucks being Chihiro I guess, he basically dies twice in the game. Really expecting Hagakure to kick the bucket soon, since he's so pointless a character.
The reveal at the end of the mysterious sixteenth student (and the intro to chapter five, where you see a masked character lying dead on the floor) reminded me of Joshiraku:

the comicbook thing at the end was pretty messed up. There were two bubbles depicting nearly the same thing - Fukawa leaving or entering the locker - which made it difficult to pick the right one (thus relying on trial and error). And for some reason, the bubble showing Ogami lifting the bottle of poison shows her with a bloody hand, when the contradiction pointed out in the trial itself shows that she had clean hands, and thus couldn't write the message in the magazine.

Well I just mean that you don't really have a good idea of certain things like the stakes or a decent chunk of the gameplay until after the first trial. I imagine if I didn't like it by then, I'd be able to determine if it was something I could like depending on the direction it went in. Like you could enjoy the mechanics and presentation, but not the content itself or something.
