The new route being prequel could set up a new ground for development/build up that couldn't possibly happen in the original route, like Chiaki not realizing she's an AI and struggles to help her classmates without any knowledge of NWP and her role, or Twogami when he still fully takes Byakuya's persona like true Imposter before he decided to change and act on his own to take the role of responsible leader, or maybe even Nagito before he went all "cause despair to create greater hope" insane mumbo jumbo and was just a self-deprecating fanatic

How can 2x2 be a prequel when the route split happens when they are already in the NWP? DR1, DR3 (Despair arc), and UDG already happened by the time 2x2's new route begins.

It's possible that the original route isn't the first simulation run so despite new route have "something unexpected" that diverges from the original, it could be something that happened before the original i.e. the previous simulation run

If they ever do a V3xV3 it should also include a V2 short game along side a new route. And in V2 you play as Rantaro and it's revealed that he survived by being a winning blackened. So we can finally see what happens when a blackened wins.

The night was young, neon in my eyes.
With music in my breath, I chased butterflies.
Laughter and consolation, they became one.
Voices that will fade along with the morning sun.

Sitting on the sidelines, with no direction or plan.
Until she danced into my life, making me a complete man.
Leading our dance, she became the mistress of my steps,
And with every motion she made I forgot another one of my regrets.

My breath stopped short, but she flowed like a flame.
My eyes on her rhythm, inviting me to play her game.
My soul leapt out of my chest, I don't even know where it came,
It was this irresistible attraction, something I can't begging to name.

My Chiaki, your eyes shine brighter than any neon lights.
One look from you turns all my wrongs into rights.
I don't need any words, my whole being screams that it's true,
That on this night together... I want to lose myself in you.

Besides your logic applies for asking new development too, since we already received the ultimate end points from DR3 anime that happened after DR2: Hajime is no longer Izuru, NWP is destroyed and Chiaki is gone forever
Going by that this new route shouldn't even be possible to happen

>>564755029
No. Double down on it and explicitly establish that 1 and 2 were always fictional and never happened in any canon. Don't leave any room for the interpretation that V3 is its own canon and that the Hope's Peak canon is its own thing. State explicitly that everything in 1, 2, UDG and 3 was all fiction, full stop.

No one gives a fuck about the DR3 anime. No one wants to see a bunch of characters act less developed than their previous selves and go nowhere. 2's cast does not need anything stripped from them. People want to see the characters of 2, as they are, survive where they died and evolve into new characters from their experiences. Not "haha this is Nagito before he was mean, isn't that silly? btw he's going to be mean lol, because you've already seen how this character plays out." A prequel is a dogshit idea for any Danganronpa except maybe V2 which would probably still be unsatisfying.
>>
>>564756364
>All the other proposals always end up in the same place at chapter 6. The prequel is the only one that changes the ending other than changing the survivors.
There's other ways you can change chapter 6. They're separate scenarios, not a branching choice, so they can reveal that anything is happening, there's no need to adhere to the original story.
>>
>>564756292
>State explicitly that everything in 1, 2, UDG and 3 was all fiction
But that's all what Tsumugi said? They never said anything about them exist in another timeline or anything.
It is just basic logic people come up with. Why would they want to throw away everything about the original DR storyline? Why would you even want V3 to debunk its existence so hard?
>>
>>564756364
>a reset of the NWP would be the only way we could explore things like a blackened getting away with murder.
Who wants to explore such a boring end point? That and resetting the simulation just sounds like a giant waste of time.

Well unfortunately that's unlikely to happen, since I doubt they'd retcon a whole 2 seasons of anime as bad as it is. We've already seen their end points so there's no room for new development and they won't create a new retconned storyline from it either.
>but it's just an alternate route
Then the question goes back to why they didn't just remake DR1 like they originally planned in the first place, if they decided to retcon or make alternate timeline anyway.
>>
>>564757376
>Name three.
-New simulation with other people trying to mimic the results of the original simulation
-Simulation running again, but without anyone in it - all the characters are just AI like Chiaki and don't have "real bodies" to return to
-TV series reboot of popular old season, recreating 2 but with real people and not a simulation

I'm sure there's plenty of other more interesting possibilities, but I'm not a writer. The point is that you can definitely come up with different end points.
>>
>>564755959
>New route and V2
>And in V2 you play as Rantaro and it's revealed that he survived by being a winning blackened
That's pretty much the only way to do a winning blackened without it feeling like a weak ending. But if they went that way maybe the protagonist shouldn't be Rantaro so we don't see it coming.

They're not gonna retcon anything, 2x2's nu-route is just going to be its own seperate story.
>Then the question goes back to why they didn't just remake DR1 like they originally planned in the first place, if they decided to retcon or make alternate timeline anyway.
An alternate timeline of a more popular game with a relatively self-contained endpoint with an anime no one has ever seen is much easier to justify than an alternate timeline of a game that would have wide impact on every entry in the series except maybe V3. They are not going to make it so that 2x2 can fit into canon, that's retarded.
>>
>>564758302
>literally justifying Tsumugi's stance
retard
just because they're made in a lab doesn't mean they aren't as intelligent as real people and don't deserve to survive
quite literally, it matters
>>
>>564758302
There's a reason I'm not the writer for the games. My point stands that you can absolutely change the outcome. I'm sure you can do ones that directly involve the other cast too, where alternative branches happen before the game starts.

I'd also disagree with your assertion that them not being real means that nothing matters, like V3's whole point is literally the opposite. The characters aren't some arbitrary collection of atoms, it's their personalities and memories that make them who they are - there's no reason to say that an AI version of Ibuki that remembers all her lived experiences and thinks and behaves the same of her is any less "Ibuki" than the real thing, or that you can't do any development with that character.

It’s interesting because we already have a base game that this one builds on. Let’s imagine that Chiaki kills someone in Chapter 5 for reasons such as ‘she couldn’t disobey her programming this time’ and received a direct order from the FF. The amount of character work you could built on that alone is huge. It’s an alternative take on a scenario we’re already familiar with. It’s literally the best chance to break the formula and have a plot twist that ties in with the original storyline. In fact, SDR2 is the only scenario that could pull something like this off. If you find that boring, sorry pal, but it's on you.

>>564757872
>New simulation with other people trying to mimic the results of the original simulation
If they’re actively trying to replicate the first simulation, then they’d effectively end up in the same place, except with a post-credits scene of people taking off their virtual reality headsets and patting each other on the back. M. Night Shyamalan ahh ending.
>Simulation running again, but without anyone in it - all the characters are just AI like Chiaki and don't have "real bodies" to return to
If it's running again, then as before, they end up in the same place in chapter 6 with just a different Twist. Might as well do a prequel instead.
>TV series reboot of popular old season, recreating 2 but with real people and not a simulation
...Bro, you get the point.

These all end in the same point with a surprise twist just after everything else occurred. That's kinda cheap.

Besides, trying to completely separate the new route from the canon timeline or even the same universe doesn't sound better than "regressing" the characters, which could also happen and justified in your case as simply new personalities for the characters

>>564759840
Your Chiaki boner is clouding your judgment. Objectively, she should be one of the first to die so we can actually get a new game, and if she survives, definitely not a repeat killer at all so we can get a new execution.
>Let’s imagine that Chiaki kills someone in Chapter 5 for reasons such as ‘she couldn’t disobey her programming this time’ and received a direct order from the FF. The amount of character work you could built on that alone is huge.
Like what? Tell me. Chiaki cries about killing her friends and goes "I NEED TO BRING THEM BACK WAAAHH" and that's it? If it's because she can't disobey her programming than that means everyone just forgives her.
>It’s an alternative take on a scenario we’re already familiar with. It’s literally the best chance to break the formula and have a plot twist that ties in with the original storyline.
It's not even an interesting plot twist. How would it even work out trial wise? You just do a bunch of shit and they hit you with "actually none of that mattered because you can't find out the killer anyway lol" and then what would Chapter 6 be? No one wants to see "everyone died but they get brought back no consequences lol".

Catbox is viewing the exported shit is a mp3 even though it plays normally, so I'm converting it to mp4. I could extract the sprites but they are stored as ctex which means reimporting into godot to export them as PNGs. If I want sound I have to import the original file into godot to reapply the sound, since they seperated the sound files from the videos to play on a separate track.

Link: https://files.catbox.moe/u88c8b.mp4

Since it's Godot, you can use GDRETools to decompile the exe and reimport everything where you have a 1 to 1 source of the source code. Too much effort to extract the sprites in high quality.

>Your Chiaki boner is clouding your judgment.
She gives me a boner, yes. But it works since she actively sacrifices herself in the original game and this would just add another layer to her actions.
>Objectively, she should be one of the first to die so we can actually get a new game
That purely depends on the motives. It doesn’t matter if some characters die early or others survive, as long as the underlying motives remain the same. People want certain characters to survive so that they can be developed further, but at the same time they forget that the Blackened undergo the most significant character development during their respective trials.
>Like what? Tell me. Chiaki cries about killing her friends and goes "I NEED TO BRING THEM BACK WAAAHH" and that's it? If it's because she can't disobey her programming than that means everyone just forgives her.
I don’t mean to be rude, but I feel you’ve missed the point. The crux of my argument is that the turning point should occur in Chapter 5, not in Chapter 6 as others in this thread are suggesting. Nor is it about whether she’s forgiven or not, since they won’t even remember what happened; It’s about adding another layer of depth to the original game, to add on it instead of just throwing it out the window and make something else entirely.
>t's not even an interesting plot twist.
Well, you haven't proposed anything else that could dramatically change chapter 6 and the ending, so you keep trying to pass your subjective opinion as objective. All of this matters because it carries over to the original game.

>>564760435
So, as I said, this is the perfect opportunity to break the formula and do something meaningful that adds to the original game, rather than discarding it and just give you the illusion of something new.

The big chapter 1 surprise will be a lack of any surprising or subversive elements whatsoever, and in some promotional interview Kodaka is gonna say
>I think I outgrew the phase where I wanted to, like, surprise the player at the beginning of every game... Whatshisname-kun (the new main writer) thought we should just focus on telling the story this time, and I think the story we ended up with is pretty exciting.

The story is whitewashing Nagito into a nice boy ally for Hajime, with Chiaki being their level-headed straight friend who jerks off in the corner, Nagito and Chiaki are the new survivors, the two other survivors are Kazuichi and Akane again

All they released was statements saying the price will increase when they release more chapters.

Just for the record, I believe it's really unfair how some people shit on Chiaki for her role as a supporting deuteragonist, but when given the chance, they just push other characters into the same role without taking into account their personalities.

Greedy bastards. But at least they are smart enough to make a Danganronpa inspired game instead of a fangan so they can monetize it.
