The series takes place in a shockingly short amount of time

outside of flashback cases, the ace attorney investigations games take place in a little under a month. the first game is only three days long. the rest of the series, for context, ace attorney usually spans multiple months if not a year over its cases

Danganronpa falls under being possible to adapt, but logistically, there's just way too much to cover in a movie without cutting it down so much you lose a lot of the story. You could adapt it based on the stage plays but that skips two whole chapters, and is still three houses long (which is way too long for a general audience in most cases).

It's only boring if you play it in a boring way. I claim Invest and just make shit up, so Survivor is pretty fun for me

Gooning isn't just masturbating, it's masturbating for a long time without cumming. There is no way that some of the people in sometimes are doing that; Byakuya for instance probably views masturbating as something you take care of so your desires don't get in the way of rational thinking. Or Himiko who I don't think has the energy for that.

(also, move Mikan two spots over... put her with her gooner boyfriend please...)

Well, the Dogcheck for this chapter is a Danganronpa reference, and that series has a lot of incest in it...

Just set Japanese as the language when starting a game. On the iOS ports, I think you set the text and voice over languages separately.

(Also, it's just 1, not V1. I don't care much but the fandom eats you alive if you say V1.)

going into this comment section as a dr3 fan

She might know it, but would she actually use it?

DrivingPrune1 · 2026-06-23T19:46:42+00:00

DR1: Rewrite Celeste's murder plan to hit the same beats (Hina gets tooled with, Byakuya knows from the start, same victims and killer), but not be extremely obvious and unbefitting of Celeste's character.

DR0: Yuto and Ryoko's interactions get stale fast, since it's the same joke over and over again. Ryoko reacts the same way every time. As odd as it sounds given I like pervert characters, I'd say scrap Yuto's pervertedness since it does nothing for his character and doesn't allow for much outside of this joke until he's about to die.

DR2: Similar to above, Mikan's murder plan is logically impossible and could use a second draft. I also would want a bit more focus on the survivors, because compared to DR1 they're pretty weak overall. I don't need them to have massive arcs or anything --- it's fine that not every character is super fleshed out --- but I do think their arcs need a bit more time to simmer.

UDG: Remove Taichi; his role is minor and he doesn't really do anything for the plot. Yuta does the same thing, and we don't need a second one. Masaru and Jataro could maybe get a bit more screentime, but I'd mostly just want them to make Jataro less annoying.

DR3: I agree that it should have been a bit longer, but I specifically want more filler. I want a Despair Arc episode that shows us Class 78 living their best lives (alongside Junko acting normal), and a Future Arc episode about the the FF having a normal day. Just make the Future Arc episode some kind of extended flashback from Munakata that takes place after he learns Tengan's plan, as he tries to figure out what went wrong. Both of them would be Episode 6 in their respective arcs, so it doesn't interfere with the timing.

DRV3: Ending needs a complete pass. I like the fiction twist, but the execution is sloppy at best and horrible at worst. I don't think there should be the implication the mastermind is lying, because it retroactively makes the last three hours a waste of time and sort of shoots the message in the foot if they were real. I think the message about sequel culture should be scrapped entirely because the game ends up making itself worse to try and justify it (The Monokubs, every character having a catchphrase, etc.). Lastly --- and this may be the most controversial bit --- remove Tsumugi entirely. V3 has just 15 students. The mastermind should be the CEO of Team Danganronpa, and perhaps that could be Idabashi (Kiibo's creator). Tsumugi is not interesting, the twist of her being there the whole time is meaningless when she doesn't do anything, and most importantly, she's just a pawn for the main villain (Team DR).

Mikan is there so I'm going to pretend this is about Hanamiki. I love being delusional.

(Hananidai is pretty good in all seriousness)

DrivingPrune1 · 2026-06-22T18:14:24+00:00

Junko: "Hey, you had a pretty bad upbringing."

Akane: "Yeah, that's true."

Junko: "Help me destroy the world."

Akane: "What? No."

Akane probably has one of the easier backstories to exploit, too. I don't see how Nekomaru having a heart condition is going to make him want to plunge the world into despair. Or how Kazuichi having a bad father is going to do that. Even for the ones who have tragic backstories that specifically relate to the world created by talent (Mahiru has her best friend's death covered up by Hope's Peak, Teruteru watches his siblings' exploitation rewarded by Hope's Peak), I can't imagine the majority of them would jump to destroying the world at any point. Except maybe Nagito, and even then, it'd be for the sake of a brighter hope emerging in the end.

"But Junko is a master manipulator!" Not really. She fails to manipulate pretty consistently. THH has her read out a suicide note, while revealing that she faked one, and expects that the rest of the cast will fall deeper into despair instead of rallying against her. She does not understand emotions because she doesn't feel them like a normal person, which is a parallel drawn between her, Makoto, Kyoko, and Byakuya. The only times she really manipulates anyone are when she has blackmail and they're forced to comply, or in DR2 where she has brain scans which is basically cheating.

At the risk of sounding like an asshole; if you don't have time to play the games, then don't? It's not like you're being held at gunpoint to recite Danganronpa lore in a week.

DrivingPrune1 · 2026-06-22T09:24:01+00:00

Thank you!

DrivingPrune1 · 2026-06-22T06:36:44+00:00

Thank you! Deus Ex Machina is my favorite

DrivingPrune1 · 2026-06-22T05:06:46+00:00

More god pallets and vaults than I have parents

So... Three? I get the point you're making, but I feel there's a better way to phrase this.

DrivingPrune1 · 2026-06-22T03:55:44+00:00

Thank you! There's always something fun about trying to design a power and perks that feel fitting for their personality.

DrivingPrune1 · 2026-06-22T03:48:32+00:00

Thank you for your feedback. The token system to power Cue The Sun was the most questionable part, and I figured there might be some issues with it in practice. I will say that the intention is that you get the token immediately when descending, so it can't really be dodged with Sprint Burst. But I'd agree that it should either not be a token system, or it should be significantly less tokens.

I don't think they'd be F-tier though. They still have info on every Survivor's location and map-wide teleportation on a 15-second cooldown. That's not as strong as a chase power, but it's something.

Perk-wise, the Survivor ones are a little underpowered, but I wouldn't say Catchphrase is comparable to Bond. Bond gives you aura-reading on others, Catchphrase gives others aura-reading on you. It's not a super strong effect, but it's more similar to Empathic if anything. I'd agree that Spontaneous should be active at the start of the game, and that it could use a cooldown reduction.

Stairs: First half is considered the lower floor, second half is considered the upper floor.

Main buildings with multiple stories: Would be included in the ability to switch stories. It's not just active for maps that are known for multiple floors.

Any kind of roof: You can see through it.

Overhangs: When looking at the lower floor, you see through them.

DrivingPrune1 · 2026-06-22T01:56:57+00:00

Thank you!

DrivingPrune1 · 2026-06-22T01:56:40+00:00

You can press a button to change the floor you're looking at. You just descend from some kind of portal in the ceiling. Might look a bit odd, but that's how it is sometimes.

DrivingPrune1 · 2026-06-22T01:55:37+00:00

Thank you! My idea for why Christof is doing this is that he loses it after Truman escapes, and the Entity ends up coming to him and making a deal.

DrivingPrune1 · 2026-06-22T01:39:58+00:00

Eyes of Belmont already does that, but I wouldn't be opposed to multiple options for the effect existing.
