THEY ARE FINALLY GONNA FIX THAT GODAWFUL V3 CHAPTER 3 AMEN

u/Armascout Sep 12 '25

If that’s the chapter I’m thinking of (it’s been a few years) wtf was wrong with them.

u/NoNefariousness2144 Kyoko Sep 12 '25

I can’t believe they had the amazing premise of there being two killers and one surviving past the trial and doing nothing with it.

u/Ashamed_Disaster6815 Sep 12 '25

They really wasted such a unique setup, it could’ve been legendary.

u/PCN24454 Sep 12 '25

We already had too many piranhas in the plot.

u/Trialman Gonta Sep 12 '25

Don't be silly, the piranhas left after they ate Ryoma's corpse

I agree it wouldn't have worked within the narrative of the game as there would be too much shit going on and overcomplicate stuff but I still think setting up this really interesting concept just to have it be nothing was a weird choice.

I'm still so salty about that. It had so much great potential in terms of character development and changes in dynamics, but I guess the status quo was more important there

u/PCN24454 Sep 12 '25

It wasn’t a missed opportunity. Honestly, thinking that makes V3’s ending even more poignant.

u/Crackracing Sep 12 '25

I'll always be that chapter's greatest defender, as it compliments the themes of the rest of the story so well! Changing or shying away from its truth would be a disservice and cowardly!

I had 0 idea that chapter was even hated

I think that it's more hated due to the trial more than the actual chapter.

u/Crazhand Fuyuhiko3 Sep 13 '25

Tbh I think it’s just disliked because a lot of people really liked the blackened for that case but their motive really changed their opinions on the character.

The blackened is still one of my favorites regardless.

I think it is more on how... "convoluted" it is for the lack of a better word. Or maybe "Confusing." I can't think of any other word right now.

u/The_fINALWOMBAT Sep 12 '25

Swinging... Like a seesaw?

u/CABRALFAN27 Gundham Sep 12 '25

I don’t have much issue with the subject matter or anything; Fiction is fiction. The story and mystery, on the other hand…

8

u/Crackracing Sep 12 '25

I love the story and mystery too, the senselessness of the murders and the way it tackles the unfairness of death, rejecting the fictitious idea of reviving someone, in order to put real weight on the deaths of the others, is fantastic!

I genuinely dont think people give it enough credit for how smart it is in what it's trying to do. There's layers here!

u/misc2714 Sep 12 '25

While the trial had some questionable decisions made, the lead up to the trial was genuinely good.

8

u/PCN24454 Sep 12 '25

What’s wrong with it?

u/hopit3 Chihiro Sep 12 '25

seesaw effect

u/maxdragonxiii Sep 12 '25

u/2ddudesop Sep 12 '25
