    That's what I mean. There is no reason to believe they knew they were going to die. For all we know they were asked to pretend in order to test Battler in some way and then got killed.

    But yeah. I understand why it'd be nice to have some clear solutions, since people enjoy these things differently.

     

    Maybe not knowing the ‘truth’ is actually for the best in Umineko’s case. The main message I get from it is that feelings are worth more than any objective truth. I think it’s a powerful message. 🙂 I’m glad I read this vn even though I hated it at first.

    Ultimately the family must have cooperated in some way. The most likely way was that Sayo solved the epitaph and managed to get acknowledged by the relatives, requesting their cooperation to fool Battler, separate them, and pick them off without their knowledge.

    Why they would cooperate and not simply say the gold was theirs is a good question. The most intuitive reason I can think of is that Sayo brought a few ingots and showed them, proving she had solved the epitaph, but if she did not share the location the relatives would get nothing, so they cooperated in order to get shares promised to them.

    Any number of lies, such as telling Jessica to say what she did on the phone in order to test Battler in an emergency to see if he's worthy of a share could've worked.

     

    Yeah that could work.

     

    Still, why would Kyrie and Jessica go out of their way to lie to Battler even though they were about to die baffles me. Maybe they thought they could save their lives if they played along.

    Would’ve really appreciated if R07

     

    did a Meakashi and Tsumihoroboshi version of Episode 1 to 4 instead of giving some ambiguous truths in a few lines in Episode 7

    Yes. I have only read about 4 vns in Japanese. I only recently got into it. That's because right now I feel like I'm on a decent enough level to comprehend texts well enough. I've tried in my first and second year but I had to look up words way too frequently...

    That's not good enough.

    I think they said “vast majority” of titles would be eligible in some article but we honestly won’t get a clear answer until it’s in our living rooms.

    I’m actually surprised they are doing any backwards compatibility, it’s something that people would want but just seems less useful from a business standpoint. PlayStation is notorious for supporting old software servers (ie I can still play MW2 on my ps3 online). Backwards compatibility would make sense for like the later ps5 slim, but at launch?

    It would be cool tho. xbone keeps BC with xbox360. Otherwise I see no point in buying a ps5 at launch, given its high price. 

  5. Kazoku Keikaku in the top 10? Can't trust this list.

    I don't think Umineko is as popular as Higurashi, unfortunately. And I always had the impression that When They Cry is more popular in the west.

    Really? Umineko seems more popular to me for some reason. I mean Higurashi had a conclusive ending so there's no much to talk about unlike Umineko.

    Curious. I see most people would like to read it, but I guess not everyone is interested. Tbh, it's very likely not as good as the original game (most fandiscs are never on the same level as the games they are based on), but it's still probably fun enough for those who liked the original game.

    Interstellar Focus is better just saiyan
