This year I'm going to Jessica max. I'm learning the guitar and taking boxing lessons. I'm learning advanced math equations while doing hot yoga so I can rog limitation. I'm having my best friend dress up as a member of the opposite sex and pretending not to notice when they do that. All that's left to do is to make a tribute band based on a yet to be published doujinshi series that will be popular about a decade in the future so I'm lurking indiegamedev threads to find the next best thing years before it happens(though that's proven difficult as they don't seem to actually make too many video games) and to get my friend engaged to my cousin. I made a fanfiction full of typos but so far no witches have turned that scenario into an ironic hellscape based around said typos. How else can I Jessica max?

The only console arc I ever hear about outside of a derogatory context is Miotsukushi (PS2)

>>48546058
Someutsushi - >Kageboshi ->Tokihogushi > Connnection Fragments -> Miotsukushi Ura are a pretty decent narrative if you can get through Someutsushi's dreadfully slow start. They tried to mimic the first half of the Question arcs, with long slice of life segments that have minor set up for the fall out later, but with the Onisarashi manga cast, and it just didn't work out well. When things start happening after the Great Hinamziawa Disaster, it's fun though.

Even though the villain is kind of disappointing after the build up (there is a whole scene where the villain goes on about becoming a god ahead of Takano, but in the end the villain had no actual ambitions and was just working for a Tokyo politician who helped early in life), the actual confrontation and resolution are good though.

Kotohogushi is fine as a standalone story, but doesn't feel like Higurashi and kind of fails as a prequel. A lot of basic things you'd expect aren't really set up there.

What's up with Miotsukushi Omote? I've heard a lot of people say it ruins the original Miotsukushi but I haven't seen any real elaboration.

>>48548957
>What's up with Miotsukushi Omote? I've heard a lot of people say it ruins the original Miotsukushi but I haven't seen any real elaboration.

It's a very lazy rewrite of the original Miotsukushi to move the focus from Rika to Hanyuu. They do that by adding a really dumb plot twist and saying they have similar personalities and flaws as an excuse to not even rewrite most of the dialogue.

This was also partially done to make Miotsukushi's backstory fit in with Matsuribayashi's, but doing that actually just makes Miotsukushi worse. Miotsukushi PS2 actually explains the big plothole of Hanyuu not solving Rika's deaths from the start, but that's lost in Miotsukushi Omote since it had to line up with Matsuribayashi as an alternate in-game choice (and obviously the backstory can't retroactively change based on your choices). Also, like mentioned above, the rewriting is bad. Like there's one scene where a character is almost caught by the Mountain Dogs in Miotsukushi ps2 but he's saved by Hanyuu off-screen, since Hanyuu is around Keiichi in Omote, that can't happen without big rewrites, which they weren't doing. So you get the same scene where originally Hanyuu saves that character in the last moment, albeit off-screen, but it just cuts away and he's fine anyway next time he appears with no explanation.

Miotsukushi Omote does eliminate some of the reused Matsuribayashi scenes Miotsukushi PS2 has, but there are still some reused ones and it's really not enough to make up for its problems.

>>48549415
That's unfortunate because the idea of Hanyuu living as a human is an interesting idea, but yeah that sounds like a mess. I don't even remember the "canon" reason as to why Hanyuu doesn't solve Rika's problems. I know the original idea was that she was kind of a villain and wanted Rika to stay trapped, but I don't remember what R07 settled for in Matsuribayashi.

>>48549469
R07 basically settles with nothing and doesn't address it in Matsuribayashi. Miotsukushi PS2 had its own explanation for it, while Omote ends up doing the same as Matsuribayashi and just not touching on the issue.

Higurashi only makes sense if Hanyuu is Rika's delusion.

I just finished Umineko's question arc and I need help. I've had the question arc on my disk for a long time before I actually started reading it and now I don't remember where and how I got it from but my sprites and the general look of the VN are exactly the same as in this playlist:

https://youtu.be/R4dIaj9H1Os?list=PLdyU6Nd-103adhYebWb_yha3RNuadQ0Om [Embed]

My question is does anyone know which version of the answer arc (there are fucking hundreds of them apparently after doing some research) I should get so that it matches this exactly?

>>48554997
That video has ADV format with PS3 BG and sprites.
Game links are in the archive in the OP link

>>48554997
Man, that's the super old PS3 patch for the original game. What a trip. There's no real reason to go with this for Chiru except autism. Just get Umineko Project off Nyaa and patch in the Witch Hunt script. If you want to be a purist, play the original with no VA and the OG sprites.

Autistic question but why are some of Will's riddles "Earth to earth" and not "Illusion to illusion"? I can't detect a clear pattern. Is it just to tie into the biblical allusion and I'm just overthinking it?

>>48555433
illusions to illusions is used in relation to when a false narrative has led to an 'illusion' of a closed room like 'kinzo didn't get taken out of a closed room because he was already dead and in the furnace, not alive and in his room', while earth to earth is more to do with actual tricks like 'the closed room is closed because the culprit killed themself'

>>48550376
Wasn't me. I read chapters 1-8 of Higurashi. Hanyuu does nothing so there's no difference if she's a god or Rika's split personality.

Why did the Japanese love Episode 3 so much? Were their egos really bruised by Episode 2 so hard they needed an Episode where half the murders are just blatantly explained? For me it's almost like you can almost feel the moment the story became a failed abortion of Land of the Golden Witch halfway through due to the backlash because everything I like about it besides Dr. Nanjo's murder occurs in the first half. Episode 2 and 4 do a pretty good job with hinting at the motivation behind the murders (Beatrice killing Shannon, the discussion with Battler about keeping promises, the Family Head trial) and I think Episode 3 was trying to that with the Kuwadorian shit but after that it just totally drops the ball for me. The whole Beatrice pretending to be nice and then twisting the knife at the end storyline is just so bizarre to me and I think it would make almost anyone go into Episode 4 not really giving a shit anymore what her motivation is. My cope is that Episode 3 is Ikuko's attempt at writing a story that explains how Eva survived without really knowing much, but that's a pretty poor excuse. I also fucking hate Eva-Beatrice, the next time I read this shit it will be without voice acting. Rosa's more subtle evildoing in Episode 2 was way better. I think the Japanese hated Tsumihoroboshi too, so maybe they're just retarded. Anyway, if you love Episode 3 please explain what makes it so great, it's not like I want to hate 1/8 of a story I overall like.

>>48556454
Because Episode 3 is fun, and the tsundere Beato twist is a hilarious troll.

>>48556454
I find Eva-Beatrice entertaining and there's some hints that Beatrice felt bad about betraying Battler, as she has a brief look of sadness before she drops the bomb. I think whether or not you "forgive" her enough for EP 4 depends on if you catch that. It was also nice to see Battler solve some mysteries. But yeah, the difficulty drop is pretty noticeable and what we've heard about Land (Black Battler and Virgilius) makes it feel like we really missed something.
Japan hating Higurashi EP 6 is hard to imagine, it's always referenced in the opening videos for the console ports.

>>48556772
Adding onto this but Virgilius was supposed to be a Sayo persona which is interesting because Sayo not having a detective persona does feel like a missed opportunity. Erikantrice is retarded but I'll give it that one singular W

>>48556454
the episode sucks but I like the Kuwadorian reveal and the part with Shannon and Kanon "reviving" to be with George and Jessica in the end is great.

>>48556779
Sayo having a detective persona trying to solve her own mystery sounds neat, but that's what she desperately wanted Battler to be, even if he couldn't perform in either reality or the Metaverse. I think detective Sayo would only really make sense if it's a fragment with a different killer, where Shannon or Kanon's BODY is stated in red to be deceased. a culprit like jessica

>>48556454
After episode 2 came out, most readers seemed to just believe in magic and didn't get why Battler was arguing. The theory that scenes could be fabrications wasn't widespread, which is why R07 changed Episode 3 to outright explain how you're supposed to read Umineko's games with Virgilia getting introduced for that purpose. But since she has to be just a piece under Beatrice, I guess that's why R07 planned the whole fake fake out, with nice Beatrice just to be antagonistic again by the end. He had to have an excuse for Beatrice pieces to go explaining and helping Battler for a while.

And, no, I think Land of the Golden Witch would have been different from the start. Don't forget Virgilius was supposed to debut there as a rival detective whose messy theories change the world itself.

>>48556779
>Adding onto this but Virgilius was supposed to be a Sayo persona
Not quite. He was supposed to be the "man from 19 years ago" and also has a Ushiromiya emblem, so that's a possible theory, but considering how his entire gimmick was changing the world based on wrong theories, it's possible he was supposed to be an incarnation of exactly that - wrong theories about the incident, which in a way even fits Erika, who is said to have taken his role, with it being unlikely she ever made it to the island and it just being dubious theories thrown around.

>>48556905
Bernkastel could've done it. I think the EP 3 rewrite was twofold and R07 wanted to soften up Beatrice, since she's supposed to be the heart of the mystery and everything. She has a uniquely twisted personality in EP 2 and while "in-universe" that's just her putting on a show, irl that comes off as R07 not having her character nailed down yet. Even the manga tones it down though admittedly that could've just been for space issues.

>>48556772
I just felt that the whole reviving and rekilling people thing was drawn out and tedious, especially since it starts right after you're pretty much told the magic scenes are made up. I have to admit, it wasn't as bad as I remember. I do wanna say that I like Eva-Beatrice in Episode 6 and Episode 8, I just find the cackling villain thing annoying in general. inb4 'she's supposed to be childish.' Thanks, I know.

>>48556977
1-3 very much suggest a Beatrice that no one in their right mind could ever pity. It's 4 that suddenly acts like you're a great big jerk for not feeling bad for the murderous austistic bitch. I think even Sayo herself would find something wrong with the narrative from 4 onwards. It's so insanely apologetic.

>>48557073
EP 4 wasn't too apologetic for Beatrice, even at the end it comes off as more of putting down a miserable creature. It's mainly the end of EP 5 where it gets bizarre. I think the idea is its supposed to be a hint about what happened in Prime (eg Sayo wasn't the one who actually pulled the trigger) but it's easy to see it as Battler just being a gigantic simp. I personally took it at face value because evaluating morality when it comes to wildly supernatural stuff is a crapshoot

>>48557073
She's pitiable right from the start of episode 2 with her love hang-ups. In ep 3 it's obvious she's not just acting, and then she gets bullied by Lambda in the tea party.

>>48557143
This is lore that a lot of fans forget or ignore, but Beatrice the Third exist SOLELY because of Lambdadelta. She used her powers to grant Sayo eternal life and control over her game board.

>>48556977
>Bernkastel could've done it.

Keep in mind Bernkastel was meant to just appear in the ??? segments originally. It's not clear when exactly R07 decided to change things and make her an actual villain but their presence in Episode 3 was still extremely minimal.

>>48556454
Ep 3 always struck me as rather shallow and childish. Beatrice becomes retarded to a degree that "just pretending" can't fully explain- she's dumbfounded her bashing Battler over the head with "lol you can't explain shit" caused him to shut down even though she literally said she wouldn't do that exact thing last episode with declaring "magic is real" in red. She needs Virgilia to spoonfeed her the very basic idea of just pretending to be less aggressive to lure Battler back into the game. Her pretend distress and subsequent return to evil isn't subtle or interesting, but instead hamhanded and cartoony. And as you've said, it absolutely destroyed any shit the audience could have given, because now when she becomes sad again you should be expecting another trick, a fact which is never really acknowledged by the narrative- she just becomes the sadsack she previously pretended to be, no questions asked. I don't like Eva as a culprit either, it's made way too obvious and has no real relation to the overall narrative with Beatrice. Would have been so much better if she had been an accomplice and a red herring, and Battler (and the audience) had learned how to properly look at the story but still hadn't come to quite the right solution yet.

>>48557215
She did show up outside of ??? in EP 3, so I think by then R07 had an idea of where to take Bern.
>>48557289
I guess Beatrice was trying to make it obvious that the magic scenes were fabrications but it backfired? Honestly what gets me is Battler's outrage is a bit contrived, like EP 2 was already obviously magical to begin with, is Beatrice and Virgilia recreating 9/11 really a line too far?

>>48557289
Another complaint I had but didn't bring up because I thought maybe I was just being stupid is the way Eva-Beatrice talks about needing to complete the epitaph as "the new witch." In reality, Eva's killings are just crimes of opportunity, but I don't think a first-time reader is primed yet at this point to approach literally everything with skepticism, which may lead to the confusing misunderstanding that even if someone solves the epitaph, they will still have to carry out the murders for some reason, which might obfuscate the motivation behind the murders pretty significantly for a first-timer trying to figure things out. Even upon re-reading it's hard to just brush those scenes aside. Don't know if that makes sense. Overall, I just think Episode 3 is major speedbump between the excellent Episodes 2 and 4 if you're taking into account the narrative as a whole. But if I wanted to be really controversial, I would say Episode 5 has a similar issue ;)

>>48557448
In the manga, Eva is bribed by Sayo into killing in the gold room, so that's the mystery side of "becoming the new witch." It's a blink and you'll miss it moment but the idea is Eva solved the epitaph after the murders already started so it didn't count. That only reaffirms your point of how EP 3 is confusing though

>>48557448
>>48557527
That's definitely another problem with it, unclear motives for Eva that don't even consistently cover all the murders. eg Kyrie/Rudolf/Hideyoshi all kill each other in a contrived scenario, then... SOMEONE comes and fucking stakes them for no reason. It's implied it's Eva but there's no scenario where she has access to them to do this where she couldn't have just killed them herself (reason for killing Hideyoshi aside, just have Kyrie/Rudolf shoot him first I guess). The staking literally just happens for no reason.

>>48557647
I guess the idea is Sayo told Eva to stake any corpses she comes across in case things go south with Hideyoshi. But yeah it would've been way simpler for Sayo/Eva to just do it. I guess R07 wanted to foreshadow Kyrie being good with guns in the mystery section but its so esoteric, did anyone even predict the Kyrie/Rudolf/Hideyoshi murder triangle until the manga? I remember the common theory back then was that Eva did it, except for maybe Hideyoshi.

Sayo continuing the murders after Eva solves the epitaph never made sense to begin with. The game should be over. She explicitly says that ANYONE can beat her, not just Battler-san.

3 would be better if Eva immediately killed Sayo after solving the riddle, but maybe that would be too much of a hint. Just have Eva throttle Shannon to legitimate death and have George flip out over finding her body. Tohya knew the truth. Why beat around the bush?

It's weirdly specific. Basically the 1st Twilight is the deadline to solve the epitaph, afterwards its basically just if Sayo likes you or not. The stuff about the murders ending in EP 3 is just bullshit to isolate the winner so Sayo can check their vibes. It's cryptic enough that you can make up a better explanation but wow, it really makes Sayo look even more petty.

>>48558171
I'm pretty sure she states VERY clearly in 1 and 2 that the survivors should focus on solving the epitaph instead of trying to catch her. Solving the riddle is the win condition. Ignoring that and continuing to kill everyone anyway because she feels like it is a very Sayo thing to do, but it's never acknowledged that she's breaking her own rules.

Yeah, that's part of how every game starts off as what's basically a murder mystery party. The letters are just part of that and not actual rules Sayo has to follow. The actual rule is the one in Confession, and the imagery makes it clear who that someone is. At least she admits Jessica and George are also acceptable substitutes, I'd love to see that forgery.

I consider the real Prime universe and the game boards to be vastly different things, but this is hilariously probably true to both. ONLY Battler is allowed to win. No other victory is considered valid. She writes it off as a fluke and keeps going.

The manga has a real bitter interpretation of Sayo that I'm here for, honestly. She even says she'd rather kill George than to imagine him finding another woman. But I can get why people would hate it, since it's easy to interpret her in the VN as being like, a criminal with a code of honor, for lack of a better term? Someone who doesn't come off as a pathetic school shooter, I guess.

The panel you're clipping is actually Sayo going full "TEN YEARS, AT LEAST!" about Battler, not George. I also love the pathetic Sayo, as that's the core of her character. She's a hopelessly, lovably awful person. She's so self absorbed and cruel to others while parading around as humanity's ultimate victim. It's so great. She's so much fun as a character. What a delightful piece of shit.

>>48558368
I thought it was George because she's deeply insecure over him and it would make more sense because why would Battler cry that much over her death? But you might be right and that Sayo is more delusional than I thought.

Sayo genuinely was that delusional. The other pages in the manga show that she's fixated on Chadler. George was an afterthought to her last breath.

Anyway, I don't think I'd make a contract with an entity like this.

But none of it happend though, the boat scene could be made up for all we know we know NOTHING about Beato and Battler in those final moments for all we know they could've never met in the end.
There are three layers to reading, non-fiction, fiction and then super fiction. Non-fiction is stuff that's REAl and that it happened. Fiction is stuff that not real but is really happening in the world of the book, super fiction is the worse because it punishes the reader for caring at all by saying "Oh the stuff you read? it didn't happen none of it happend you read a book about stuff that didn't happen in a world where it didn't happen. It's just one massive waste of time in an attempt to teach a lesson that's just retarded

Higurashi is a story about coming to trust one another and how shutting yourself off from the people who care about you will only end in heartbreak... so. fucking. kino. Tatarigoroshi mogs the FUCK out of everything Umineko tries to do.

This is pure cope (she's saying that she loves Keiichi) but even if it was true that they were different, your argument is that Satoko saying she loves schizo murderer Keiichi who got mindbroken after 3 days is better than Rena saying she will fall in love in a normal way with Keiichi (and they take love slow because they aren't insane)?

There was a huge outrage from Tumblr in the mid 00s about lolicon in Higurashi and a push for removing lolicon content and references, sparked by Satoko's nude sprite. One of the MG guys who opposed ended up being arrested since lolicon is illegal in Canada.

Yes. Despite spending MUCH less time together than Keiichi did with Rena not once did Keiichi ever come to doubt Satoko like he did for Rena, and in the end he chose to be killed by Satoko if it would bring back her smile and Satoko confessing that she had loved him too on that bridge before believeing Keiichi had already been killed by the demon who kills everyone closet to her and then takes the form of the one she loves most to kill her which is why she fought back out of revenge and grief over Keiichi's "death".
Rena was fully intending on murdering Keiichi and her classmates not clones or demons but her actual classmates that she believed to be her friends.

I see. Still, that's a pretty massive reach made to dismiss the updated translation, since Keiichi and Satoko are close in age. It's not like she's saying it to Irie. It'd be one thing if it was the only translation change, but the entire script was updated since the original one was pretty poor and had a lot of typos.

>>48565806
It's just a mentally ill satokofag mad that his "ship" is a distant third behind Rena and Mion, both of which got far more evidence for liking Keiichi than Satoko did.
At least we don't have the truly insane kind of shippers here (RikaKeii)

>She never says she loves Keiichi but that they'll fall in love in a normal not the same as a love confession

Like I said there, and you ignored in your reply, in ADDITION to the "we'll fall in love in a normal way" dialogue, Rena ALSO says Daisuki earlier in that conversation. The same Daisuki Satoko says in that bridge scene. It just was never translated to " love", unlike Satoko's, just "like".

But that doesn't matter, right, since the important part here is the Japanese dialogue and you're complaining about the current translation anyway which went with like for Satoko too.

Oh, yeah, you can't understand Japanese at all, right? So you probably didn't even notice that. Well, now you know.

>Same translation troons that censored sprites because it did a pedophile
The nude Satoko sprite has been censored even in the original Japanese release since Hou at least. It's really not a Manga Gamer thing, it's a "R07 isn't releasing Higurashi just in doujin conventions anymore" thing. Note even the text was changed to account for Satoko keeping the towel, not just the sprite removed.

>>48565806
>that's a pretty massive reach made to dismiss the updated translation, since Keiichi and Satoko are close in age.
hahahaAHAHAHHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA This is fucking hilarious. Ever since the anime made Keiichi, Rena, and Mion look like high school teens and Satoko and Rika look like 8 year olds there's been a very large section of fans who believe there is a massive age gap between Satoko and Keiichi which has only made fans and antis dislike the ship ignoring the fact that in the VN original sprites they all look roughly the same age. So yes, they would have a very good reason to censore the script if they felt if they felt it would cause outrage to leave it as love

>>48565858
Apples to orange comparison. One is a random sentence where the word daisuki appears, the other m consists entirely of "I loved you".

The PS3 release had censored PS3 sprites, the new MG release has the new sprites in addition to newly censored OG sprites.

Slot machines are not canon.

No, that's MY argument here. You're trying to saying it counts when you want it to and it doesn't count when you don't want it to. I'm pointing out your inconsistency and how there's hardly anything unique about Satoko's Daisuki.

>>48565888
Hou was the name of a PC release first (the one that added Outbreak, Kamikashimashi and Hinamizawa Bus Stop, with this opening
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rm8skBieGeQ [Embed]
). It had no console sprites. And still didn't have nude Satoko anymore. It has nothing to do with MG or Console releases.

>>48565893
You're telling me the scene where Rika blows up Hanyuu isn't canon?

>>48565902
Also, I'm not saying Hou was the first Japanese release without the nude sprite. I'm not sure when exactly it was removed, just that it had been removed already by the time of Hou.

That's the key point, no? I can easily find stories about the towel in gaming outlets, but nothing about SatoKei. And you explain why:
>that in the VN original sprites they all look roughly the same age
Anyone reading the VN would know the truth and not give a fuck. Have you even read the updated translation? It still has a fair amount of sex jokes and fanservice involving the cast, some of which include Satoko and Rika. MG may censor visuals out of legal concerns but I haven't seen any sign it impacts the script.

This clearly isn't an issue of censorship as >>48565927 pointed out. There's a joke in Wataganashi where Keiichi feels up Shion and Rika and explicitly says that Rika's breast feels like "the sour sensation of a young, unripe fruit". If mangagamer really cared about removing all "loli" references then they'd remove that one, don't you think?

Having a scene where it has Keiichi being a perv about Rika's nipples as an obvious gag is completely different from a love confession scene in the climatic moment in Tatarigoroshi. How is this so hard to understand?

The translation that makes the most sense in context is better yes

>>48565955
That's not MG, that's the 07th mod, and it's set to 2 by default mainly due to the voice track taken from the censore console release, in order to not be distracting if the characters say something very different from the subs (since the voice track is always censored due to being from the console release, while the text can go from matching the PC VN release (0) to perfectly matching the voiced console script (5). (2) attempts to be something between both where the mismatched parts don't stand out too much.

>>48565964
Are you retarded? I meant that MG uses the (2) script.

Reminder that Satoko canonically said she loved you to Keiichi, and any argument against it makes no sense and is just pure cope

>>48565977
That's not MG, that's just the default setting of the 07th mod. Like I said, it's like that due to attempting to roughly match the voice track.

Here's what reddit thought in case you were curious

>>48565939
Forgot the MG sprites looked like something out of a cheap porn game. Arguing from the position of "the 2015 Higurashi release was done by a bunch of prudes!!!" is so bold.
>>48565833
I can get RikaKeii from the perspective of pairing the leads together. It's a bit shallow, but it's a classic. SatoKei screams "my favorite episode is EP 3" which hey, good on you, I just don't make it my entire personality.
>>48565961
It's different, yes. In that a description of a little girl's boobs would much more likely to be censored, joke or not. Until you can cite actual instances of loli censorship in the updated MG script, there's no reason to think the change in Satoko's line is due to censorship. Are you able to give this thread any interesting info or are you so lazy with your posting that AI can replace you?

There was actually an old 3 volume romantic comedy Higurashi manga starring Hanyuu called Higurashi no naku koi ni "All you need is love". No idea if it actually ships Hanyuu with Keiichi though. I've seen nothing about the actual story inside.
