Any Seiyuu predictions? Or has a list been announced?

I finally made this game work on my computer, and I'm hooked. Normally, I don't like phone games, but this one is made much more tolerable through it running on my computer.

I am so so so looking forward to the Scarabia boys and the Octavinelle team. Currently in the end of the lion boy arc, I love how they incorporated the 'save the disney villain' theme. And not forcing us to listen to English voices is kino :D

Current fav is Lionboy. His relationship with Hyenaboy is very cute, I think I like them platonically? It feels very much like a classic boarding school relationship, if that makes sense. although I will admit I laughed out loud when MegaWolf appeared

Howl on Leona is my fav so far. I want him to ease sempai's pain~

He doesn't! He speaks in Gratious English and some trendy JP slang, I think. It's a good localization choice imo! It works with his character, and has a similar effect to convey his flashiness, and obsession with social media.

The only one of the three characters purposefully put in to derail your trials that I enjoy is Kokichi and even then I didn't like him at all until the case with Gonta. Also Byakuya unlike Komaeda and Kokichi never really gets a BIG moment and I think that's part of the reason I find him annoying. Like that chapter 2 example is a big one, we have to spend 20 minutes arguing about shit that doesn't get us any closer to the killer because of him! In the end he feels like someone we deal with for ages with no real payoff or character growth. Again though I like him in post THH works as a member of the Future Foundation and I think that fits his stuck up personality well, as long as his attitude isn't making us deal with pointless shit I don't mind it in doses.

>For me, the worst offender of this was V3
Honestly so few people make it I have to agree, but I do like Maki

>First Spoiler
Agree Taka is my favorite male character in the first game and it's so weird to me that they just kill him off like that. They don't even try to resolve his grief or hang up about the betrayal, or explore the Ishida stuff which only appears in two scenes. I think if they had even tried to establish that Celeste picked him to be killed because he was an easy target the abruptness of his death wouldn't have bothered me. He feels randomly selected and the other characters don't even seem to react outside of the whole "Oh no a body!" It's just a weird segment even though I like the case overall.

Same, I couldn't stand Byakuya when I first touched the game during the somethingawful days but then years after I actually played the translated game I ended up loving him kek

I have my share of complaints about Danganronpa and some of its writing choices, but Hundred Line is making me realize how much I wish there were a version of it where the characters don't necessarily die, especially this guy. Or, like, multiple endings with different surviving party members. Maybe even bad endings where the killer makes it out and everyone must suffer the consequences. In the first two games, I was fortunate to have my favorites survive, but there were still characters I wanted to learn more about or see more of before they perished. There are so many alternative ways the games could've ended with different surviving cast compositions. It's not even that I'm bothered he or other characters I liked didn't get a happy ending. It's more that I would've liked to have seen more of their reactions to certain plot developments they missed.

Been a miserable week hasn't it

Man… ;-;
Ike was so sudden I'm more numb and shocked than upset. I wish him the best. It's heartbreaking to see how many people are mocking him.

I'm so proud of Fuuchan though. He handled graduation the best I've ever seen. I had trouble being sad until after the final stream. Now I just feel melancholic since I watched him every morning. Forever my kamioshi. ❤️

>>4127
I was really truly in love with him and I feel sicker and sicker each week as it sets in, especially because I'm too selfish to accept it's going to make him happier in the long run.

I am excited to see Cyrus here. 3rd image is excellent, I have to admit I do nawt like Saturn but I have this comic I translated…

>it's seriously making me want to replay BW just to see them again
I was also inspired to boot up my copy of BW to finally play the Battle Subway, because kid!me gave up weirdly quick back in the day despite playing the Sinnoh Battle Tower and Battle Frontier a ton. (The fast HP bars in Gen 5 have made it so hard for me to go back to Gen 4 Frontier now…)
>Do you guys think we'll get more of them in Pokemon Legends ZA?
It would be weird if they didn't because they know people are expecting it and will buy the game just for them, but GF is never predictable. They're not immune to fan pressure though, since they never intended to show N again, but he ended up reappearing in BW2. I was genuinely expecting ZA to be in either the past or future but not the present, because it seemed like it would make sense for them to get transported at the same time to different eras, so now I'm really wondering what direction the plot will go.
Right now, it looks like everyone is expecting Emmet to be in the tournament to reach A rank and get a wish. But since they've chosen a present day setting, will he be retired? Will people know who he is? Or, if he warped 12 years, will he be hiding his identity? Will he have amnesia too? Goddamnit, there's too many questions.
>I want Ingo and Emmet to be together again.
Me too, nonna… I hope everything will be resolved well, even just the bare minimum would be good. I'm stupidly worried about it, lol. I mean, you never know what could happen, they could kill the fandom if they're not careful.
I can't stop thinking about what kind of redesign Emmet will get either. Will he be bald too…

>>4266
Pfft. In one fandom I'm in it's common to use a little shooting star like the one behind Cyrus's head to indicate someone is having lewd thoughts. If you see poipiku reactions spamming the shooting star emoji that's what it means.

>>4184
holy shit already? the game's barely a month old. I'm not surprised about Eito but I'm definitely surprised over the twins.

These are all great points. I think they definitely must've retconned parts of the first two games' lore.
>Also I don’t think that much time actually passed between 1 and 2.
It's been a long time since I played the first games, but I kind of assumed there was like a 20-30 year time difference, and once you factor in the extra years from Aaron/Aria growing up, I was thinking Cecilia had to be at least 40 by the end of RF2. Again, it's been a long time since I played it, so I'm probably misremembering details. It's probably also colored by my bias in assuming that all elves/half-elves age more slowly.
>a slightly older Candy meets Frey in the rune factory 4 manga
I did not know about this! I'd never read the manga, so that's very interesting. It probably hasn't been that much time, relatively speaking. I never assumed it had been, like, centuries between the first 4 games because of stuff like Ethelberd's reappearance, reoccurring characters, etc. I definitely assumed it had been a few decades, though.
>Then again, maybe being an Earthmates cancels out elfyness seeing as Orland can be 1/4 elf and still gets the elf ears while Aria and Aaron never get a hint of elf if you marry Cecilia. But then Micah isn’t a confirmed Earthmate.
I kind of assumed Micah wasn't an Earthmate, but instead, just a half-monster, which let him be good at the farming stuff. Even if he were 1/2 Earthmate, that would throw a wrench in the "cancels out the other species" theory, considering he still vhas the monster traits. I always thought it was weird they never mentioned if Micah was one, though. It's also strange because Raven is a half-monster and has elf/dwarf-ish ears, but Micah doesn't despite them basically being the same species. I know this is all super trivial and nitpicky on my part. The thing with Aria/Aaron and Orland really bothered me (doubly when we consider that Micah and Daria's or Lest and Meg's kids would be 1/2 elf and still don't look like it), but I personally just attribute the inconsistency with the kids to limited character portraits/in-game assets rather than a definitive statement on lore.

I know it came out at some point that the developers gave the characters in 5 ages and Fuuka was 14. I wouldn’t be surprised if that logic was there from the beginning of the games. Like in 2 especially, even the first generation bachelorettes are awfully young, not just by looks but personality. Julia and Yue give off the oldest vibes, while the rest make me think they are still very new adults (Alicia and Rosalind) or even adolescent (Mana and Dorothy) even their rivals match with Ray and Max acting more mature than Jake and Barrett who both act like angsty teenagers. Mana’s a special case. But I genuinely think she’s meant to be super young seeing as Douglas acts like you’re cradle robbing and it’d be weird to act that way if both Kyle and Mana were 18+ imo. Also Dorothy is definitely young and acts even younger than Amber from 4. This all combined with the Fuuka is 14 data mined stuff makes me believe that the characters in 2 are actually meant to look young to reflect their age and not just for chibi style. With that said I think the time between the end of 1 and start of 4 is about 20 years. Ethelberd looks about 40 in 1 and he’s still pretty spry in 4 but clearly older so 60 would track. I feel like 70 would be too old for him to be kicking around that much unless he’s younger than 40 in 1. Which isn’t impossible but that’s a rough 30s if that’s the case.
>just a half-monster
Also I forget Micah is a half-monster. But you’re right, he’s got normal human ears and if Earthmate canceled out halfness, he’d probably not be one anyway. Still annoys me that the halfness wasn’t addressed in 2 or 4 which had ample time to address it seeing as you only have 1 kid in those and it could be a simple flavor text about half(?)-Earthmate children.
>I'm sorry if my post was unclear.
Oh no I meant it more like the developers are connecting them by making dwarves a different flavor of elves.

I was absolutely devastated to learn that Iwasaki, the character designer, didn’t work on GoA. I hope she returns for 6, but I have my doubts. I’m really hoping they’ll at least do more cameo characters in 6 from the older games like Tabatha, Minerva, or Mei returning. Or even the forgotten Marco.

Never heard of this before but the premise sounds intriguing.

I just finished the Bridon arc and woah the gayness between these two is off the charts, might as well be a BL at this point. I love LG's 'jealous' moments and CXS taking care of him when he was sick.

Also, is the Bridon arc part of the current (S2) timeline or not? I thought for sure it's an earlier loop but I've seen other people saying it's the same loop and I'm completely lost. How many times has LG looped anyway? I feel like it's atleast 3 but definitely not more than 10.

I came across a news post from one of the mobile games while on Xitter and I'm so fucking immature, I've been giggling about this anim for like five minutes now.

How so? Is it something related to Vengeance?

Even in the base game they're soulmates

Well that and Kushinada says the young man is romantically in love with Aogami like she was with her own a long time ago in a side quest. According to the nip version it's specified that it's mutual love not just one sided also.
