"Quit bein' so gloomy! This is the year of the Jets! Fuck the Patriots!"
I loved 95% of this game and it was going to be my all-time favorite Danganronpa game... at least up until the 2nd half of the last trial of the game. Up to that point, it was a 5/5, but it stumbled for me a tad at the end. The meta-commentary just didn't land for me, unfortunately. I was OK with the ideas presented in the ending, but I hated how they went about executing it... The silliness reached an all-time high during that final trial, and it all felt a bit too on the nose and came off a bit stupid.
Regardless though, that doesn't detract from me loving the game as a whole. It has the greatest first trial in the series BY FAR, has the most gruesome and depressing executions, and it overall has the greatest presentation and style of all 3 mainline games.
The trials were great as always - and I loved the introduction of the Scrum Debates. I wish they were used more often, but the music and premise of those were hype as hell.
The "truth vs lie" theme was an enjoyable and interesting difference to its predecessors, especially after being knocked over the head so many times with "hope vs despair".
Kokichi is a fun stand-out character here as well, but I still prefer Komaeda from DR2. I really liked the cast of characters in DR3 overall outside of a couple exceptions. But that goes for all the DR games.
I wish we could have more Danganronpa, but maybe it is a good thing they ended it here before running the franchise into the ground. I will miss the wonderful, weird settings, zany characters, heartbreaking losses, and insane murder mysteries/plot twists...
"Some lies can lead the world to hope... Some truths can lead the world to despair... So I don’t think anyone can really say which is more right in the end.”
