Is there a more JUST'd character in all of anime
that would actually make a lot of sense given the whole fraying and ARG bit, what would be the ultimate goal of the Order of % if not to be the vessel of the Frayer/making the frayer work towards their goals as well?
It's kinda funny since Iris, Ota, and Kizuna are 3 of the first people you see in Mizuki Chapter 1, which made me think a good chunk of the cast would be different. But nope.
>voted off in the ARG >no song >just so happen to completely avoid any and all dangerous situations this go around while being within ~10 ft of the mastermind by 'complete coincidence' >Calls at the exact right moment to prevent Amame from seeing her dad, sealing his fate >canonically into Danganronpa

>voted off in the ARG
The funniest part of that whole thing is people spent hundreds of dollars on bots because they wanted to see what would happen if Iris got voted off
The answer was absolutely nothing
Or she's the true Almighty of the Order of %. Naix's Moksha is comparatively small pennies compared to the Order of %'s "turn on cheats and go full GTA on everyone"
It's also interesting that Tokiko specifically called out Chikara's eternal youth research as a lie (while we later find out about Shoma showing that it's practically there), and also that Iris ate the fruit of immortality in the first game. There's a connection there, I think
that's the thing though, she was clear throughout the conversation about Naix beliefs on simulation theory, why call out eternal youth specifically? It's not like it's any faker then anything else.

Ota's a huge piece of shit and I'm pissed he didn't get arrested after the first game. A stray bullet should have gotten him in the finale of this one at least.
Doesn't Ota run a bunch of sock-puppet accounts on Twatter specifically to bully Tess, that way he could hop onto his real account and white knight for her? Lien would never try to manipulate Kizuna like that! That's the big dick difference.
But she also explained what she wanted him to do, meanwhile Iris straight up told Ota "I'm focused on my career as a streamer" and Ota didn't get the message.
He's supposed to be a gary stu so Uchi can please his lefty fanbase with a dindunuffin ex-criminal that gets shafted by evil society. It always get me that Ganker cries so much about the troony speeches but are fine with this dogshit character.
pretty sure most of that "so called" lefty fanbase hates Lien for being a "straight male stalker that pressures her as soon as he meets her"
tl;dr, meds now
He's a chad, the only reason Kizuna didn't agree to marry him immediately was because Bibi told her that if she finds a guy they should first date for a few years or something like that
Lien "12 Inches" Twining
Lien "King of Dick" Twining

I heard good things about The Sekimeiya but I haven't read it yet. Also Kamaitachi no Yoru finally good a decent fantranslation for its PC remake which I downloaded but also haven't read yet.
Seconding this, Zodiac looks ugly as sin and is held back by being renpy but was super engaging with good mysteries. Divine Deception looks way better and has a great story but isn't anything like the death game choices setting so it may not be to the same taste.
>is also a murder mystery
Is it? It doesn't fit the structure at all. There's certainly a mystery, but it doesn't follow the rules of detective fiction (meaning the end sucks).
So how much of a budget was this game made on? The price they're charging for it feels criminal. Their decision to reuse the entire cast and all the locations of the first game down to the fricking abandoned factory felt sorta scummy.
Only takes a minute since the person who made the tool is the one who put the time in.

The nil number is in system.dat in the save directory, all the game's text files are sorted by scene so it's extremely easy to find what you want to edit.
Wait actually I just thought of something, is part of the reason why Date disappeared for 6 years is to avoid spoiling the Bibi twist to the player, if he was around actually helping you investigate he would have made it more obvious.
yeah it fricking sucks tbh. I'm pretty sure Uchi first wrote the timeline twist plot with Ryuki as solo protagonist, then realized that Mizuki as psyncer is a cool idea and tried to fit her in as 'second' protagonist, and had to come up with Bibi to make it all work. all character interactions had to be nerfed to avoid spoiling it early.
As much as I love this game as gaslighting simulator experience, the cost was too heavy.
>I really hope Marco is a cute shy shota.
A cute shy shota is the only thing he has any right to be from what we do know about him, well in anycase when his apperance is confirmed... if it's ever confirmed I promise to request some Bibi art with him
we gotta get Ryuki and Tama's first mission together, I'd love to see a small-stakes mystery case with few somniums and investigations, maybe a bit harder puzzles because DLC maybe even drop some AI3 plot hints
he hates broken clocks because his brother's watch stopped when he was run over.
no it's a red herring to hide the twist by allowing him to say "six years ago" without arousing suspicion from the player
>randomly schizos out and does nothing for hours on end >shoots a civilian >betrays everyone for eyepussy >gets 2 girls crippled and amnesias date again >impedes investigation into hb killings by not reporting data he gathered for 6 years
Ryuki...
How deep down the ice berg do you want to go?
On the surface level, it's merely a cloud network ABIS uses for the collection & storage of data. The AI-balls regularly upload/download data from it. It's likely some kind of quantum computer that collects information from all the different timelines. That's why psyncers using AI-balls can seemingly tap into impossible knowledge from another reality.
I was replaying some parts of the first game and it's amazing how much more interesting of a character and how much more development Mizuki got being a side character in the first one vs being a main character in her own game. There's just way more emotional scenes over her feelings towards her family and showing she's still just a vulnerable little girl despite how ridiculously strong she is. In 2, you don't get that impression since she solves almost everything with her physical strength and doesn't really experience any emotional hardship, making her feel way more static as a character. Even the thing with her parents not being her real parents had zero emotional payoff since there's no scenes after the reveal with her coming to terms with that and it's never brought up again afterwards
I saw it coming a mile away sadly. The first game already wasn't good at realizing the strengths of its characters and using it for the narrative's benefit(the best development being in non-canon routes, iris getting so much focus despite being more of a plot device than a character, date ending the game not feeling resolved as a character despite us knowing him as so strong and charismatic up to then). Uchikoshi probably just saw that Mizuki was popular and gave her the protag role without stopping to think about why she was loved in the first place.
One area that I think 2 really took a hit in overall is the loaded character relationships that did a lot for developing the cast of the original. 1 had Date/Mizuki, Ota/Mayumi and Iris/Hitomi, which regardless of how you felt about the individual characters most people agreed had memorable moments of very solid writing. 2 really only has Komeji/Shoma(and Amame), and as much as I like them something about them lacks the punch the first game had with its relationships. Most of the emotional impact comes from Komeji making bad decisions and dying unfulfilled with Shoma obviously going to be carrying regrets for the rest of his life. The situation is miserable yeah, but the writing itself is middling and both Shoma and Komeji's somniums don't come close to touching Mayumi's.
Maybe I'm stupid but refresh my memory, you need to remove both participants eyes to use the proto psync machine right? So in AI1 why did the bodies Saito swapped into keep both eyes?
>why did the bodies Saito swapped into keep both eyes?
because you don't need to remove the eye completly, he just took the left eyes out without breaking the part that connects to the brain and then put it back in
any EU bros order the CE? from asking around it seems spike chunsoft shat the bed again and no store received any stock as of today. that 3 week delay didn't do shit
>all the Tokiko posting
I just want to throw out that I do not believe The Frayer ending is a canonical ending. It was considered "chapter alternative", glosses over basically everything, and does not have a credits sequence.
It's just a for fun "what if Tokiko was right all along" ending. She didn't provide context to her methods on that route because you arent supposed to think too much on it.
Secondly, I fail to see how The Frayer invalidates Ryuki. We merely represent his gut instinct and reflexes, even on the The Frayer ending, he is shown having his own personality and agency, separate from our own.
>what if
it's the whole point of Naix's plan, the Frayer's always there. It's part of the ARG as well. It's an alternative timeline, just like how the first game had alternate endings too.
The Frayer is Canon no matter what, the scene with 'Mama' talking to then happens in the main route. Tokiko is right no matter what and Diverge is the end that actually teases dealing with this fact.
It's the one most interesting ending too, the game alludes to and implies the Frayer is involved pretty often, it's just the one end that feels like it resolves both the most and the least and I frickin hope it's canon man
Honestly, my assumption is only the non-resolution routes are simulations. They're Wadjet-run simulations of potential alternatives which is why people with AI-balls have memories from them.
From left over untranslated dev summaries (the guy posting them is translating them, I don't know how his exact method for pulling them so I can't post original; will probably be on the TCRF page when it's up). >Shigure is a believer in simulation theory. Her ultimate goal is to cause glitches in this world and achieve Moksha. Shigure is aware of the player's existence. She wants to confuse and disturb players and cause the world's program to malfunction.
While I'm at it, I might as well summarize some of the stuff people have found. >DLC menu >DLC UI placeholders (one of which is a silhouette of Date) >Marco model >Date with Marco >Uru did, in fact, fall in love with Amane at first sight >An unused bonus menu mode, Swap Performance.

>first game's twist was obvious from a mile away, waiting until the characters "got it" was incredibly frustrating >second game's twist is some meta bullshit that the whole game has to bend over backwards to make work
weakest Uchikoshi series yet, mostly coasting on cute girls being cute
I'm on side Mizuki
Does the game explain why people like Komeji are treated as if they didn't die and no one is surprised by Date being alive
Also I remember the first machine needed the user to pluck out their eye, did the writer just forget or what
Even people who finish the game seem to barely pay attention. The amount of people who asked who ran from Ryuki in the cathedral when the game PLAYS A CLIP OF IT when the person is talking about where they were is wild.
>Mizuki
Makes speech about protecting LBGTQ and PoC of the world while stomping Chuds' heads >Ryuki
Most likely screamed "Black person" several times in public while infected with TC PERGE
Ok so most of the shit that's off during the game (like Shoma vanishing on the Ferris Wheel) gets explained away with the big twist. But what was up with the Dahlia Boat shit?
puts the idea in your head that going back to alternate times to get certain words/phrases to progress is normal and therefore makes you more likely to give Tokiko the nil number when you get it
That's kind of underwhelming but I guess it makes sense.
puts the idea in your head that going back to alternate times to get certain words/phrases to progress is normal and therefore makes you more likely to give Tokiko the nil number when you get it
Reminder that the ENTIRETY of the resolution route was created by Tearer's plan by dividing the name Dahlia Boat into 2 universes and having the frayer first make Ryuki remember that. The world further divides by having Mizuki know a password she shouldn't (notice how they don't even acknowledge Mizuki knowing what it was like during other instances when the frayer makes something happen) and then Tokiko's hologram mentions the nil number so that the frayer can go back and tell her what it was when Ryuki wasn't supposed to.
The diverge route is the true ending because it's the direct a-chronological follow up to the resolution ending just how the resolution ending requires jumping between worlds.
I was talking because he literally needs to have power and info to spread diverging clues over those timelines
This is a better logic the problem is
How did he know that ryuki is a frayer?
Like, betting on ryuki between 7 billion people is a terrible bet
Tearer needs to have some ability like the zero escape series, or tokiko
He has an Ai-Ball. The Wadjet system seems to be key in all of this, and may even be tapping into the collective human unconsciousness (or just straight up be the Morphogenetic field) that allows memories to transfer between timelines (and the frayer as well)
All he would have to do is know that if event A happens say "my name is X" and if event B happens say "my name is Y". Playing the long game with this timeline shit, like a certain man with complex motivations we could mention
They do? Kinda weird that they'd put the effort in. It sounds like a neat mod idea to enable skeleton xray for every character in the game, but it'd also be boring because there'd be no unique dialogue to pair with it.
If third game happens it will be so impossibly stupid. Japs don't know how to tone it down, it's gonna be double downing all the way into multiple timeline twists, every character being a clone and relative of another character while disguised as another character, playing as multiple unreliable narrators inside of a simulation of a simulation constructed by quantum computer that is compromised to three dead bad guys at once. Action quick time events will take 10 hours to get through with CTRL.
The next game HAS to address the simulation theory and bring back Diverge ending. There's no other option. AI3's only option is going completely off the deep end with it.
Why not? It's a huge open ending for Ryuki's character development Doesn't have to be the only canon timeline or anything since if they lean into the simulation then we can have Resolution and Diverge both be used.
I'm ready for Ryuki's dead twin brother to inexplicably be alive by the start of the third game, and only Ryuki thinks it's weird. The twist will be that we're playing the dead twin.
Probably has like another week of discussion ahead and maybe more if there actually will be DLC. Euros playing and Uchi starting to answer spoiler questions will be worth discussing.
>nanotechnology in the game can be used for a crazy virus and to remove a stage 4 brain tumor >a billionaire can't fix his daughter's legs in 6 years
Kinda weird
I'd say something about maybe nerves are still just too complicated to fix when completely severed even in their sci-fi but the AI-Balls can transmit to sight nerves even wirelessly so it still makes no sense.

Date at his apartment at the end of the 10th AI: the Somnium Files game trying to cope with the dozens of Mizuki clones he adopted across all the past games rampaging inside his apartment
>at the end of AI1 they make clear Date wants to be a new person and not just jump back to Hitomi >he's gone for 6 years and nobody really minds much >just gets a lap pillow from her like nothing's happened
Some of the character devolution in AI2 was astounding.
He chooses to go by Date instead of Hayato or Falco, and is pretty uncomfortable with Iris trying to instantly matchmake them back together. Seems clear he wants to be a new person. He also only had a maximum of 3 months from the end of AI1 till his disappearance to reintegrate so coming back after 6 years all ready for Hitomi is very weird.
What? Date definitely wanted to get back with Hitomi but worried about diving back in for her sake. After 6 years away, any awkwardness he thought was going to happen was gone
So the Nurse claims to be Jin's, right? Can someone jog my memory about if she even so much as claims he looks nothing like his photo online? I'm drawing a blank here.
Hayato(Date) swapped with Rohan and went to Saito to interrogate him about the muders
Saito figured out what was happening and kidnapped Hayato, using a truth serum to find out where the proto machine was.
Because he's a psycho and it sounded fun Saita decided to swap bodies with Hayato inside Rohan, just to see what it's like and swap back.
Something went wrong and they lost their memories in the transfer, Hayato managed to escape in Saito's bod and Saito was stuck in Rohan with his mind in tatters. Which is how Rohan, Saito, and Date come to their current bodies in AI1.
>people who want to support Uchikoshi and don't have a good enough PC
I'm a Euro in that situation (one fan in my PC's busted and I can't afford a replacement currently), but I just jumped through the hoops necessary to grab the PS4 version.
Haven't played anything in the series, is the first one any good? Does Uchikoshi the hack use the same fricking twists that he uses in every game series he makes, like you being the baddie, one of the characters is actually a robot, some sort of mind swaping?
1 handles its characters much much better and 2 suffers from throwing out most of their development due to spoiler protection
If 2 would actually acknowledge 1 in a real way it'd be better
It asks you at the beginning if you're okay with spoilers for 1 and saying yes only turns on a few lines of dialogue and something in a Somnium. Otherwise no matter what the game completely skirts around dealing with any character growth from the 1st or even the events of the game, despite there only being 2 months from the end of AI1 to the start of AI2. Even completely diregarding teh biggest thing from AI1 Date still looks and sounds like Saito, because he "got a mask made since the face is popular with the ladies" in one of the worst things Uchi has ever written, and he's lucky it doesn't matter in the plot or it'd make AI2 his worst story ever.
>Mama is an Okama, not a woman >Aiba and Tama are AI and so don't count >Bibi and Mizuki are clones and therefore the same girl >Iris is married to an eggplant
Therefore Iris and Mizuki don't have boyfriends, since one is married to her favorite vegetable and the other is too picky. My logic is iron clad.
Correct, but wrong. Only 2 of them said they dont, we can't say yes or no about the rest of them.
>Mama is an Okama, not a woman >Aiba and Tama are AI and so don't count >Bibi and Mizuki are clones and therefore the same girl >Iris is married to an eggplant
Therefore Iris and Mizuki don't have boyfriends, since one is married to her favorite vegetable and the other is too picky. My logic is iron clad.
I agree Ota and Iris is trash but it's also intentionally a one sided gag that's not going to happen. Meanwhile the game wants you to think Lien and Kizuna is a good reciprocated romance and fails miserably.
I’m curious what we’ll get for the third game since there’s some small things left untouched that could get expanded upon >all of the other children we see in masked woman’s somnium >naix religious branch barely played a role
not to mention diving deeper into somniums via repetition and reverse psyncing both have pretty good potential to be fun regular game mechanics. i hope the next game touches on infohazards
Speaking of AIs it's kinda weird we literally do not see any other AIs in the games, not even a mention, when the tech is neither exclusive to nor developed by ABIS.
I want to see Aiba getting jealous after Date downloaded some AI waifu app developed by Lemniscate.
Apparently the Ai-Balls and the Psync machine are supposed to be somewhat confidential, though how in the hell a police department managed to get their hands on tech like that is a mystery. Maybe it's a trial run for the tech or Boss just has blackmail on everyone.
But yeah, from what we know the Ai comes from the WadJet system which comes from Elgoog and I forget if they also did the Psync machine (or was that Pewter?)
Perhaps I'm a moron but I beat the game about two hours ago and am still processing. If I am understanding right though >in the PRESENT, Ryuki got to the cathedral (new, not collapsed side) and got injected with TC-Perge >he sees someone but can't identify them because of the illness >Ryuki chases them but falls off bridge
Is this... supposed to be Amame? Why was she throwing torches down at Ryuki? In the next scene we get he's getting chewed out by the Boss which I thought before was about him losing this mystery person... but according to the timeline now it would be over "yesterday" which is a day we weren't playing as him... was it the day he shot a civilian? If so, why the frick did he do that in the past? When he was mentally better, comparatively? Is he just a total schizo even in the past?
Damn what the frick. I find it weird Ryuki didn't see Uru's body then. Because wouldn't she have it with her to leave it there? And actually wouldn't she be flipping out seeing Ryuki after that?

Correction: she's going to be the main character AND the villain of Ai3.
that would actually make a lot of sense given the whole fraying and ARG bit, what would be the ultimate goal of the Order of % if not to be the vessel of the Frayer/making the frayer work towards their goals as well?
They made her hot at least
they bothered to give her a model for the present, that's actually like more than half the cast got
Only 5 people got updated models for the present, the 2 Mizukis, Iris, Ota, and Kizuna. Everyone else seemed to be the same
Amame did too, every time she's in her turtleneck, it's the present, every time she's in her maid outfit/school outfit, it's the past
not the maid outfit, that's in the present, only the school outfit is the past
It's kinda funny since Iris, Ota, and Kizuna are 3 of the first people you see in Mizuki Chapter 1, which made me think a good chunk of the cast would be different. But nope.

Amame also wears the turtleneck in the past and the maid outfit in the present.

A-Set, you bet!
>voted off in the ARG
The funniest part of that whole thing is people spent hundreds of dollars on bots because they wanted to see what would happen if Iris got voted off
The answer was absolutely nothing
I bet you that she's actually the leader/mastermind of Naix.
The fact that she even knew about Naix in the first game is suspect as all fricking hell.
Or she's the true Almighty of the Order of %. Naix's Moksha is comparatively small pennies compared to the Order of %'s "turn on cheats and go full GTA on everyone"
It's also interesting that Tokiko specifically called out Chikara's eternal youth research as a lie (while we later find out about Shoma showing that it's practically there), and also that Iris ate the fruit of immortality in the first game. There's a connection there, I think
>Iris is in the real world with her Twitter account
>All Tokiko got was enabling noclip in the unity engine
Maybe you're onto something
I think she just references "Everything is a lie, buddha is the truth". What is the point of eternal live if it is just another part of simulation?
that's the thing though, she was clear throughout the conversation about Naix beliefs on simulation theory, why call out eternal youth specifically? It's not like it's any faker then anything else.
Because getting eternal life is the opposite of escaping the simulation, she explains it immediately

Unlike Ota he was 100% genuine in his simping
Ota's simping is more genuine though. He risked his life in the first game more than Lien did in the second, at least
Ota's a huge piece of shit and I'm pissed he didn't get arrested after the first game. A stray bullet should have gotten him in the finale of this one at least.
calm down gen
when you put it like this I wonder how much Uchikoshi knew of Ota's reception, at least on this alien fax message board
But me and my 100 reset IPs all love Ota, making us the majority.
Ota's huge porn collection and orichalcum level trident at Sunfish Pocket says otherwise
Doesn't Ota run a bunch of sock-puppet accounts on Twatter specifically to bully Tess, that way he could hop onto his real account and white knight for her? Lien would never try to manipulate Kizuna like that! That's the big dick difference.
He was a simp, but he was completely genuine and was putting in actual effort to improve himself for her.
But she also explained what she wanted him to do, meanwhile Iris straight up told Ota "I'm focused on my career as a streamer" and Ota didn't get the message.
He's supposed to be a gary stu so Uchi can please his lefty fanbase with a dindunuffin ex-criminal that gets shafted by evil society. It always get me that Ganker cries so much about the troony speeches but are fine with this dogshit character.

Any other games like Uchikoshis wild rides?
Danganronpa is the only other thing I can think of. I need more.
Uchikoshi games have their own feel to them. Even the closest game series don't match them
I heard good things about The Sekimeiya but I haven't read it yet. Also Kamaitachi no Yoru finally good a decent fantranslation for its PC remake which I downloaded but also haven't read yet.
I did not like Sekimeiya. The remake of Kamaitachi was bad, it turned an atmospheric sound novel into a generic VN
You could try my game instead. I feel it's much better written than Sekimeiya, and it's free:
https://max-stern.itch.io/mistalone
There are a fair few clearly ZE inspired VNs on steam that have cropped up in recent years
Zodiac Trial and his other game. Both have a lower budget than Uchikoshi, but they both get pretty crazy with its setting.
Is it so difficult to commission a decent artist? Holy frick.
I'm not sure how much VNs actually cost to make but I imagine getting even a handful of sprites+CGs for a whole cast must be quite a lot.
Seconding this, Zodiac looks ugly as sin and is held back by being renpy but was super engaging with good mysteries. Divine Deception looks way better and has a great story but isn't anything like the death game choices setting so it may not be to the same taste.
>go to check the games o-

no thanks
13 Sentinels is good for something recent.
Gnosia is a neat indie game (made by 4 people) with single player amongus vn gameplay loop, but character cast and story quite uchikoshi-like
Raging Loop has a big ending twist, and is also a murder mystery
>is also a murder mystery
Is it? It doesn't fit the structure at all. There's certainly a mystery, but it doesn't follow the rules of detective fiction (meaning the end sucks).
Second this. Raging Loop is great
Raging Loop's ending is fricking garbage
The journey more than makes up for the shitty end.
everything from solving the mystery onward was awful. the (actual) supernatural shit really ruined it for me
So how much of a budget was this game made on? The price they're charging for it feels criminal. Their decision to reuse the entire cast and all the locations of the first game down to the fricking abandoned factory felt sorta scummy.

The nil number is in system.dat in the save directory, all the game's text files are sorted by scene so it's extremely easy to find what you want to edit.
Nice.
Any camera hacks out yet? I want to explore out of bounds and see how much is there.
You can use freecam with unity explorer. It's a bit user unfriendly but not hard to figure out.
neat

IMAGINE. BIBI.
Wait actually I just thought of something, is part of the reason why Date disappeared for 6 years is to avoid spoiling the Bibi twist to the player, if he was around actually helping you investigate he would have made it more obvious.
yeah it fricking sucks tbh. I'm pretty sure Uchi first wrote the timeline twist plot with Ryuki as solo protagonist, then realized that Mizuki as psyncer is a cool idea and tried to fit her in as 'second' protagonist, and had to come up with Bibi to make it all work. all character interactions had to be nerfed to avoid spoiling it early.
As much as I love this game as gaslighting simulator experience, the cost was too heavy.
Aiba should go back to Date and Mizuki should get Marco.
Date should get Aiba back, Bibi should keep Marco, Mizuki should get fired
Mizuki should be my loving wife who pampers me every night and invites Bibi over as well.
Game would've been better with more yuri content and also Ryuki confessing to Tama
cute bibizuki
But they're kissing Aiba
cute aiba getting kissed by bibizuki
Date and Aiba back together on a case dlc when. Ryuki and Tama post epilogue flirting dlc when. Bibi and Marco dlc when.
I really hope Marco is a cute shy shota.
>I really hope Marco is a cute shy shota.
A cute shy shota is the only thing he has any right to be from what we do know about him, well in anycase when his apperance is confirmed... if it's ever confirmed I promise to request some Bibi art with him
we gotta get Ryuki and Tama's first mission together, I'd love to see a small-stakes mystery case with few somniums and investigations, maybe a bit harder puzzles because DLC maybe even drop some AI3 plot hints
Pounding Ryuki while Tama rims me

I thought they couldn't make an AI ball cuter than Aiba. Then I met Tama. Glorious.
Did Ryuki's distaste for broken clocks turn into an actual plot point that went over my head, or is it just a weird character thing?
he hates broken clocks because his brother's watch stopped when he was run over.
no it's a red herring to hide the twist by allowing him to say "six years ago" without arousing suspicion from the player
>randomly schizos out and does nothing for hours on end
>shoots a civilian
>betrays everyone for eyepussy
>gets 2 girls crippled and amnesias date again

Ryuki...
You would've done the same
>screams in chink for 20 minutes
My job here is done
Ryuki and Tama did nothing but cause unnecessary trouble and it's great.
>in the divergence, gets second man in charge of ABIS
he didn't deserve it
Is he higher ranked than Date?
Yes
It's all right now! Because I am here! Half Might!
Half for all! We are full time heroes!
He actually does nearly catch Tearer though.
So what is the importance of the wadjet system and why did tearer want access to it?
because the wadjet system controls almost everything on the internet. it powers everything at ABIS
He wants his own eyeball waifu
How deep down the ice berg do you want to go?
On the surface level, it's merely a cloud network ABIS uses for the collection & storage of data. The AI-balls regularly upload/download data from it.
It's likely some kind of quantum computer that collects information from all the different timelines. That's why psyncers using AI-balls can seemingly tap into impossible knowledge from another reality.
>if Ryuki didn't hide everything he learned 6 years ago, it would have been solved way faster

CLEAN IT UP
I was replaying some parts of the first game and it's amazing how much more interesting of a character and how much more development Mizuki got being a side character in the first one vs being a main character in her own game. There's just way more emotional scenes over her feelings towards her family and showing she's still just a vulnerable little girl despite how ridiculously strong she is. In 2, you don't get that impression since she solves almost everything with her physical strength and doesn't really experience any emotional hardship, making her feel way more static as a character. Even the thing with her parents not being her real parents had zero emotional payoff since there's no scenes after the reveal with her coming to terms with that and it's never brought up again afterwards
I saw it coming a mile away sadly. The first game already wasn't good at realizing the strengths of its characters and using it for the narrative's benefit(the best development being in non-canon routes, iris getting so much focus despite being more of a plot device than a character, date ending the game not feeling resolved as a character despite us knowing him as so strong and charismatic up to then). Uchikoshi probably just saw that Mizuki was popular and gave her the protag role without stopping to think about why she was loved in the first place.
One area that I think 2 really took a hit in overall is the loaded character relationships that did a lot for developing the cast of the original. 1 had Date/Mizuki, Ota/Mayumi and Iris/Hitomi, which regardless of how you felt about the individual characters most people agreed had memorable moments of very solid writing. 2 really only has Komeji/Shoma(and Amame), and as much as I like them something about them lacks the punch the first game had with its relationships. Most of the emotional impact comes from Komeji making bad decisions and dying unfulfilled with Shoma obviously going to be carrying regrets for the rest of his life. The situation is miserable yeah, but the writing itself is middling and both Shoma and Komeji's somniums don't come close to touching Mayumi's.
Maybe I'm stupid but refresh my memory, you need to remove both participants eyes to use the proto psync machine right? So in AI1 why did the bodies Saito swapped into keep both eyes?
only the left eye
Yeah but when he swaps into Iris for example and kills Iris inside Renjus body, why does the new body have both eyes?
He puts the eye back. You can do that.
>why did the bodies Saito swapped into keep both eyes?
because you don't need to remove the eye completly, he just took the left eyes out without breaking the part that connects to the brain and then put it back in
Ohhh Yeah now I remember. Saito had some crazy pain tolerance all game.

She called my boy Omochi a fricking chigger.
>all the Tokiko posting
I just want to throw out that I do not believe The Frayer ending is a canonical ending. It was considered "chapter alternative", glosses over basically everything, and does not have a credits sequence.
It's just a for fun "what if Tokiko was right all along" ending. She didn't provide context to her methods on that route because you arent supposed to think too much on it.
Secondly, I fail to see how The Frayer invalidates Ryuki. We merely represent his gut instinct and reflexes, even on the The Frayer ending, he is shown having his own personality and agency, separate from our own.
>what if
it's the whole point of Naix's plan, the Frayer's always there. It's part of the ARG as well. It's an alternative timeline, just like how the first game had alternate endings too.
The Frayer is Canon no matter what, the scene with 'Mama' talking to then happens in the main route. Tokiko is right no matter what and Diverge is the end that actually teases dealing with this fact.
Yeeh, and Doge was also behind everything in Silent Hill.
Remember when silent hill dog used one of the established characters to deliver deus ex machina revelations to MC? That was crazy
It's the one most interesting ending too, the game alludes to and implies the Frayer is involved pretty often, it's just the one end that feels like it resolves both the most and the least and I frickin hope it's canon man
Honestly, my assumption is only the non-resolution routes are simulations. They're Wadjet-run simulations of potential alternatives which is why people with AI-balls have memories from them.
From left over untranslated dev summaries (the guy posting them is translating them, I don't know how his exact method for pulling them so I can't post original; will probably be on the TCRF page when it's up).
>Shigure is a believer in simulation theory. Her ultimate goal is to cause glitches in this world and achieve Moksha. Shigure is aware of the player's existence. She wants to confuse and disturb players and cause the world's program to malfunction.

>first game's twist was obvious from a mile away, waiting until the characters "got it" was incredibly frustrating
>second game's twist is some meta bullshit that the whole game has to bend over backwards to make work
weakest Uchikoshi series yet, mostly coasting on cute girls being cute
I feel that it's coasting on being quirky. It's made for the kind of people that find wacky anime girls endearing.
I'm on side Mizuki
Does the game explain why people like Komeji are treated as if they didn't die and no one is surprised by Date being alive
Also I remember the first machine needed the user to pluck out their eye, did the writer just forget or what
Yes, keep playing.
Date tells you they upgraded it and it's still in the building because it's booby trapped.
It's all a simulation, why do you think it has to be consistent? Hell, the background NPCs are monocolored blobs half the time.
The timeline order is wrong, there are 2 Mizukis and you play as her identical clone in the past.
I will never understand people who don't just finish the game before coming here.
Even people who finish the game seem to barely pay attention. The amount of people who asked who ran from Ryuki in the cathedral when the game PLAYS A CLIP OF IT when the person is talking about where they were is wild.
It was Amame, no?
Yeah, when you talk to her after the second psync it plays a short clip of the chase
Just typical speedreaders that rushed to this thread to post unmarked spoilers less than 3 days after the game came out.
No anon the game is just so poorly written they retcon it all partway through

I wanna touch tama's boobs please

any lewdkiko yet?
boss x tokiko cute
Harassing Aiba by doing lewd things with her hologram!
Ok so most of the shit that's off during the game (like Shoma vanishing on the Ferris Wheel) gets explained away with the big twist. But what was up with the Dahlia Boat shit?
it's just an anagram for Ialdabaoth, the god of the false world
That's kind of underwhelming but I guess it makes sense.
puts the idea in your head that going back to alternate times to get certain words/phrases to progress is normal and therefore makes you more likely to give Tokiko the nil number when you get it
He grew up playing Zero Escape
Dahlia = flower in Phi's hair
Boat = premise of 999
Uru truly was a turbo autist...
Quite literally ourguy.
Why does Tama's eyeball form have boobs and hips and everything while Aiba is a hamster?
Tama is sexy
Aiba is cute and cuddly
Reminder that the ENTIRETY of the resolution route was created by Tearer's plan by dividing the name Dahlia Boat into 2 universes and having the frayer first make Ryuki remember that. The world further divides by having Mizuki know a password she shouldn't (notice how they don't even acknowledge Mizuki knowing what it was like during other instances when the frayer makes something happen) and then Tokiko's hologram mentions the nil number so that the frayer can go back and tell her what it was when Ryuki wasn't supposed to.
The diverge route is the true ending because it's the direct a-chronological follow up to the resolution ending just how the resolution ending requires jumping between worlds.
Yeah it is a nice logic
The problem is how tearer would be capable of creating that
He would need to have some power that trancends timelines
If what he told Ryuki is any indicator, then Tearer was very educated. Maybe he realized or found out something.
I was talking because he literally needs to have power and info to spread diverging clues over those timelines
This is a better logic the problem is
How did he know that ryuki is a frayer?
Like, betting on ryuki between 7 billion people is a terrible bet
Tearer needs to have some ability like the zero escape series, or tokiko
He has an Ai-Ball. The Wadjet system seems to be key in all of this, and may even be tapping into the collective human unconsciousness (or just straight up be the Morphogenetic field) that allows memories to transfer between timelines (and the frayer as well)
All he would have to do is know that if event A happens say "my name is X" and if event B happens say "my name is Y". Playing the long game with this timeline shit, like a certain man with complex motivations we could mention
Would yuri route for them actually be possible? They're sisters and I doubt the game has any intention of delving into incest territory.
they're not actually sisters
Oh right, they're clones. Would still be very weird to the people around them?
It would be hot as frick.
They’re clones and both narcissists, it’s fine

that is the truth
Aiboxu

>can't x-ray tokiko
Sad, disappointed.
you can make her dance tho
>can't xray literally every character to see their bone structure
They know 90% of people will try to x-ray Komeji at the first opportunity
We actually do see his bone structure at least twice in the game tho
This is so fricking stupid, considering that every single character has a unique skeleton in game files.
They do? Kinda weird that they'd put the effort in. It sounds like a neat mod idea to enable skeleton xray for every character in the game, but it'd also be boring because there'd be no unique dialogue to pair with it.
dumb shrimp aiba
cool shrimp tama
Tokiko bone structure
I'M FRICKING FRAYING HOLY SHIT
If third game happens it will be so impossibly stupid. Japs don't know how to tone it down, it's gonna be double downing all the way into multiple timeline twists, every character being a clone and relative of another character while disguised as another character, playing as multiple unreliable narrators inside of a simulation of a simulation constructed by quantum computer that is compromised to three dead bad guys at once. Action quick time events will take 10 hours to get through with CTRL.
First Uchikoshi game or something? That plot is quite plausible though
Don't care, Mizuki cute.
The next game HAS to address the simulation theory and bring back Diverge ending. There's no other option. AI3's only option is going completely off the deep end with it.
it will probably deal with simulation theory, but no way will they bring back Diverge
Why not? It's a huge open ending for Ryuki's character development Doesn't have to be the only canon timeline or anything since if they lean into the simulation then we can have Resolution and Diverge both be used.
First time?
Good, they need to double down on going full schizo.
I hope AI3 is as fricked as ZTD but actually good
I'm ready for Ryuki's dead twin brother to inexplicably be alive by the start of the third game, and only Ryuki thinks it's weird. The twist will be that we're playing the dead twin.

Everyone's beaten the game now.
Is it time to move on?
>everyone

Probably has like another week of discussion ahead and maybe more if there actually will be DLC. Euros playing and Uchi starting to answer spoiler questions will be worth discussing.
>nanotechnology in the game can be used for a crazy virus and to remove a stage 4 brain tumor
>a billionaire can't fix his daughter's legs in 6 years
Kinda weird
maybe they're too weak to be fixed
>horadori couldn't clone good organs for jin
I'd say something about maybe nerves are still just too complicated to fix when completely severed even in their sci-fi but the AI-Balls can transmit to sight nerves even wirelessly so it still makes no sense.
So did Ryuki get demoted in the past or was that a threat from the present?
>present

>just gets a lap pillow from her like nothing's happened
Some of the character devolution in AI2 was astounding.
>Date wants to be a new person and not just jump back to Hitomi
that's not what I got from that at all
He chooses to go by Date instead of Hayato or Falco, and is pretty uncomfortable with Iris trying to instantly matchmake them back together. Seems clear he wants to be a new person. He also only had a maximum of 3 months from the end of AI1 till his disappearance to reintegrate so coming back after 6 years all ready for Hitomi is very weird.
Newcomers must be shielded from spoilers, please understand.
What? Date definitely wanted to get back with Hitomi but worried about diving back in for her sake. After 6 years away, any awkwardness he thought was going to happen was gone

AI 3 but it's hardcore sex with every female character
can i get a quick recap from the first one
why did saito switch from his original body in the first place, it seemed pointless
he wanted to see how it worked
Hayato(Date) swapped with Rohan and went to Saito to interrogate him about the muders
Saito figured out what was happening and kidnapped Hayato, using a truth serum to find out where the proto machine was.
Because he's a psycho and it sounded fun Saita decided to swap bodies with Hayato inside Rohan, just to see what it's like and swap back.
Something went wrong and they lost their memories in the transfer, Hayato managed to escape in Saito's bod and Saito was stuck in Rohan with his mind in tatters. Which is how Rohan, Saito, and Date come to their current bodies in AI1.
He wanted to achieve his dream of being a hentai fat ugly bastard

I'm a Euro in that situation (one fan in my PC's busted and I can't afford a replacement currently), but I just jumped through the hoops necessary to grab the PS4 version.
Haven't played anything in the series, is the first one any good? Does Uchikoshi the hack use the same fricking twists that he uses in every game series he makes, like you being the baddie, one of the characters is actually a robot, some sort of mind swaping?
Yes. Yes.
Fricking A. When is he going to come out with a new twist.
>use the same twists
>people keep falling for them
When players stop eating them up, even jaded or ironically. It's always somebody's first Uchikoshi game.

But that's the best part
The second AI game is just Ever17 with a better ending
Yes but the first game is a lot more grounded. Go play it.
Built for real world cuddles.
I like both AI games equally.
change my mind .v.
1 handles its characters much much better and 2 suffers from throwing out most of their development due to spoiler protection
If 2 would actually acknowledge 1 in a real way it'd be better
>If 2 would actually acknowledge 1 in a real way it'd be better
havent gotten around to playing it yet, is it unrelated to the first?
It asks you at the beginning if you're okay with spoilers for 1 and saying yes only turns on a few lines of dialogue and something in a Somnium. Otherwise no matter what the game completely skirts around dealing with any character growth from the 1st or even the events of the game, despite there only being 2 months from the end of AI1 to the start of AI2. Even completely diregarding teh biggest thing from AI1 Date still looks and sounds like Saito, because he "got a mask made since the face is popular with the ladies" in one of the worst things Uchi has ever written, and he's lucky it doesn't matter in the plot or it'd make AI2 his worst story ever.
cute dork
Alright frayers, try to guess from this puzzle which 2 girls don't have boyfriends.
None of them are known to be in a committed explicitly romantic relationship with anybody.
Correct, but wrong. Only 2 of them said they dont, we can't say yes or no about the rest of them.
i wanna squeeze out bibi's frustration if you know what I mean
>Mama is an Okama, not a woman
>Aiba and Tama are AI and so don't count
>Bibi and Mizuki are clones and therefore the same girl
>Iris is married to an eggplant
Therefore Iris and Mizuki don't have boyfriends, since one is married to her favorite vegetable and the other is too picky. My logic is iron clad.
Our boy deserves the best.

Because in the third game it will be white, revealing her to be a rogue AIball
they updated her model, its definitely higher poly now maybe the lighting hits it differently
.
Excuse me, shitter. This is a thread for Frayers, so i would kindly ask you to leave and take your shit ability with you.
how do i unlock dance mode in this one
Get the true ending, just like the first game.
the Ryuki one? I did it but I don't have it
oh nvm i see it
Same as in the first game.
My colleague i am going on business trip to Atami with.
big tiddy
I never did realize how big her boobs were until seeing her like this
Was Tearer wearing the same choker as Bibi did?
Frick this investigating stuff, I want to be trapped somewhere with a time limit and to seek a way out
?t=2981
Get out you say
You were born a shitter.
Lien and Kizuna
a shit
are the worst characters in the game but Lien picking Kizuna up to dance with her is undeniably cute.
Kizuna has that "anime mom that's going to die" haircut
I liked them. Better than what ever the frick ota and iris were.
I agree Ota and Iris is trash but it's also intentionally a one sided gag that's not going to happen. Meanwhile the game wants you to think Lien and Kizuna is a good reciprocated romance and fails miserably.
>has heart problems
>walks around with bare feet
she's probably so strong that walking on surfaces doesn't bother her
What do those have to do with each other?
mizuki and bini are running at you at unimaginable speed, what do you do?
i meant to say bibi
Die
unzip my dick
Bobo and Mookoozy are the best characters
I’m curious what we’ll get for the third game since there’s some small things left untouched that could get expanded upon
>all of the other children we see in masked woman’s somnium
>naix religious branch barely played a role
not to mention diving deeper into somniums via repetition and reverse psyncing both have pretty good potential to be fun regular game mechanics. i hope the next game touches on infohazards
maybe itll be about the Order of %
UCHIKOSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
THE MAD MAN
I don't get it
Play the damn game
I did
Who is this Mizuki's mother?
We don't know
its you 🙂
I don't get it
I love Aiba
Anyone have the image with the dialogue between date and komeji about how he goes to sunfish pocket
gotchu homie
thanks anon
Stop reposting your cringe art twitter troon
>Date and Kaniza at a cabaret club
I'd pay to see this.
Claim your mermaid
>Chinpei impregnated and later lost custody to one of these
who was it?
until it was proven it couldn't be Amame I swore it was Amame
You're not doing it right. Now we can roll.
cute girlfriends!
Iris is too moronic to give me a boner. Even though she has hips like onion.
She wasn't really dumb in the first game. It's a shame they removed the load bearing tumor.
i ship the masked womeme and ryuki
I say we kidnap Pewter and force him to make us all AI waifus. The man's clearly a genius.
>I will finally have a shortstack tomboy AI gf
Calm down Delta
He'd probably do it if you just asked. And paid for everything of course.
Speaking of AIs it's kinda weird we literally do not see any other AIs in the games, not even a mention, when the tech is neither exclusive to nor developed by ABIS.
I want to see Aiba getting jealous after Date downloaded some AI waifu app developed by Lemniscate.
Apparently the Ai-Balls and the Psync machine are supposed to be somewhat confidential, though how in the hell a police department managed to get their hands on tech like that is a mystery. Maybe it's a trial run for the tech or Boss just has blackmail on everyone.
But yeah, from what we know the Ai comes from the WadJet system which comes from Elgoog and I forget if they also did the Psync machine (or was that Pewter?)
>how in the hell a police department managed to get their hands on tech like that is a mystery
>he doesn't know
The Psync machine was actually by Pewter IIRC. At least he claims that.
I find it weird they could make a general AI without subsidizing costs by having it be available to the masses.
Perhaps I'm a moron but I beat the game about two hours ago and am still processing. If I am understanding right though
>in the PRESENT, Ryuki got to the cathedral (new, not collapsed side) and got injected with TC-Perge
>he sees someone but can't identify them because of the illness
>Ryuki chases them but falls off bridge
Is this... supposed to be Amame? Why was she throwing torches down at Ryuki? In the next scene we get he's getting chewed out by the Boss which I thought before was about him losing this mystery person... but according to the timeline now it would be over "yesterday" which is a day we weren't playing as him... was it the day he shot a civilian? If so, why the frick did he do that in the past? When he was mentally better, comparatively? Is he just a total schizo even in the past?
She really does not want to get caught.
And yes he was always a schizo
Damn what the frick. I find it weird Ryuki didn't see Uru's body then. Because wouldn't she have it with her to leave it there? And actually wouldn't she be flipping out seeing Ryuki after that?
>mfw reading about the ARG
This is more content than the actual game.
Is there a good run down for the whole thing?
