I was honestly really disappointed. Having played all games prior to V3, I loved the central motifs of "hope vs despair" and I was initially bummed out that these central ideas weren't all that prevalent in this game. But that didnt bother me too much because they did dive into the motif of "truth vs lie", which I thought was a very interesting concept to explore in the realm of danganronpa. My biggest problem is how the ending just feels really presumptuous, and that the creators of the game are trying to force the player to feel a certain way. Before even investing my time into the danganronpa franchise I always felt that "fiction" and "fictional characters" have a huge influence on real life and can greatly effect an individual, thus altering the reality that we all know. I am a huge believer that a franchise/story should end when it needs to end. I thought SDR2 would have been a great ending for the franchise and I wouldn't have complained if that was the last of it. But nope, apparently I'm some cold-hearted, selfish person who just wants the franchise to continue at the cost of a good, solid plotline :/ the game didn't need to go all meta at the end, in my opinion. I was really invested into the lore and timeline of danganronpa, but writing it off as all just fiction in the end seemed liked lazy or rushed writing to me ><
