Yes, definitely.
>>339947454
What do you mean?
>>339945636
>If you prove magic isn't real i'll magically undo the murders
Never made sense to me
>>339949037
>Never made sense to me
Because she never said she would undo the murders. She said Battler would be free from Purgatorio.
Also, the question if magic is real or not is limited to the gameboard.
>>339948895
What's with the link?
>>339949282
>posting in an Umineko thread
>not knowing about the red
https://youtu.be/L8uddlTg7AE
>>339949373
Literally never played these games, just saw the link on the front page and got confused cuz I didn't think these were those kinds of games.
>>339949650
It's a book. Go and read it, it's fucking awesome.
it wasn't fucking fair Battler played her game fair and square and he got shat on. this is why Ilovebeato
>>339945636
How did he do it?
>>339950209
IN THE FOOD BOMBS
>>339949282
In the VN text in red is an absolute truth
>>339945636
Explain. I heard this series eats shit near the end, so I've never bothered to get into it.
>>339950359
>Absolute truth
Surprising how easy it is to distort reality by just saying the truth in a really interesting way.
>>339950209
FOOD IN THE BOMBS
>>339950359
Oh ok. I'm red green colorblind anyways so I probably woulda been just as confused even if I actually knew about that.
>>339950383
Form your own opinions.
>>339950383
Basicallybeatrice starts sucking up to battler, appearing weak and helping him against a different witch but it's all a ruse to make him sign a contract that says magic is real so she'd automatically win the game they're playingUmineko is good at least until ep6 then it starts going downhill with bullshit
>>339950383
>>339950383
It kinda depends on your tastes, there starts to be a fuckload of new characters later on. The first 4 arcs are interesting regardless of your tastes imo though.
>>339950574
I get that to an extent, but the whole "MSD but perfectly accepted and one personality is in a relationship" sounds unrepentantly terrible.
>>339950710
That sounds Shirou-tier retarded, fug. The concept sounded cool to me, so I was disappointed when I heard how iffy it supposedly is.
>>339950775
The only characters I didn't like were the chiesta sisters, they didn't really have any sort of role in the story. Dlanor's helpers were kind of boring too.
>>339950710
>Umineko is good at least until ep6 then it starts going downhill with bullshit
Episode 7 and 8 are great, fight me.
[Spoiler]I like Umineko better than Higurashi and I think that the later episodes are just as good if not better than the early ones.[/spoiler]
>>339950991
I'm currently reading episode 6. Which one of the love demons is a tranny?
>>339951078
The blue one
>>339951078
The blue one speaks like a male so probably blue
>>339951078
I don't think it's ever said, but everyone thinks it's the blue one anyway
I'm at episode 6 now, and apparently Battler figured out everything about Beatrice. Since episode 5 was all about how when in mystery novels the detective announces he knows when the killer is, I'm curious if it's possible for me to figure out what Battler learned.
Right now it seems that magic exists for beings like Bernkastel and Lambda, but not for us.
Also if I hear "Uuu Uuuuu" in real life I might reflexively kill the person saying that.
>>339945636
Episode 5 is objectively the best
You cannot prove me wrong
>>339951285
With the 10 rules you have enough. By the end you'll be given far enough clues to put most pieces together.
>>339950978
It's a lot better than the summary sounds. Umineko is great during the question arcs and it's mediocre at worst duty the answer arcs. The reason people don't like the answer arcs is that it shifts way more into the fantasy parts and murder mystery takes a back burner but it's still there.
Definitive Umineko Episode Ranking
5 > 3 > 7 > 1 > 4 > 2 > 8 > 6
>>339951285
Here's a hint nigger: magic either exists for everyone or no-one at all.
Either way, all of the characters are (kinda) real in some way.
>>339951285
The truth Battler came to has nothing to do with the meta world. He figured out who Beatrice is and her motives. It's possible to figure it out before EP5, as several people had before it came out. "Magic" exists in the metaworld, but the point is that we're finding the truth behind the events of the games and understanding what all the "magic" scenes actually are.
>>339951438
>Erika
>Dlanor asks Battler something and says he can't use red truth for no apparent reason
>he pulls golden truth out of his ass
Other than that it was pretty good
>>339951438
Every episode has its own moments but 5 is definitely near the top, yeah.
>>339951560
To be more precise, Umineko stopped being a Mystery with episode 4. Episodes 5 and 6 don't even have a full "game" on the gameboard, 7 and 8 focus on other things.
>>339951285
>magic exists for beings like Bernkastel and Lambda
You can figure it out but you have to understand the structure of the story. Most of the magic shit happening with all the witches takes place in the 'meta world' which is just a way to tell the story, nothing that happens in the meta world actually happens.
>>339949037
Fucking loved the concept
I only watched the anime doe
no hate pls
>>339951887
What anime?
>>339951921
Umineko no Naku Koro Ni
>>339951756
>Out of his ass
The golden truth is an important part of the story though.
>>339951887
The only good things the anime had was good voice actors and that motherfucking ending song.
I miss those times.
https://youtu.be/QEOy4zEVFoU
>>339951887
Then you don't actually know what the concept is. Play the VN.
>Higurashi establishes that Rika's alternate self is Bernkastel
>Umineko establishes that Bernkastel's real self is a cat
>>339951982
There is no anime that goes by that name.
>>339952054
Ergo Rika was a cat all along and the game tricked you into thinking she was a person.
>>339952002
>The golden truth is an important part of the story though.
I'm only at ep 6 so I don't know what'll happen later, but at the point I'm talking about it appears for the first time without any previous mention to save Battler from an impossible situation.
>>339952095
B-but anon, I've seen it too! Here's a screenshot!
>>339952283
you didn't post a screenshot?
>>339951285
A friend of mine is reading it for the first time, and he solved the epitaph and figured out the truth about Beato in episode 6.
Of course, he's both fluent in Japanese and English, so that might have helped.
>>339952054
Bernkastel, as in "The Rike who has lived through endless Hinamizawa massacres", is not the Bernkastel in Umineko.
>But Bernkastel goes all 'nipah '
She has read Higurashi, knows people will make a collection and trolls the reader.
>>339952389
here an excerpt from the anime
>>339952469
If you don't know Japanese the epitaph is simply unsolvable, which is shitty for us english readers.
>>339952469
>He solved the epitaph
I know I sound like an asshole, but I can't really believe it. The Epitaph is INSANE.
>>339949014
>What do you mean?
Battler completely and utterly rapes Erika dry in EP 6 by making a super elaborate ruse designed to make Beatrice both remember and wreck the everliving shit out of Erika
It's beautiful
>>339952469
I'll find the japanese epitaph online after I'm done with episode 6 and try to translate it with rikaisama, thanks for the tip.
>>339952283
WHATS WRONG WITH YOUR FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
>>339952614
Yeah tell me about it. But he really did solve it.
From the beginning to the Lord U part, after which you actually need to be on Rokkenjima.
>>339952789
>From the beginning to the Lord U part
Well, fuck me. I'm impressed. Tell him anon said he's a god.
Not being able to solve the epitaph is one of my greatest regrets in Umineko, but I don't speak japanese unfortunately.
Do you need to play the Higurashi games to play Umineko? I watched the Higurashi animes.
>>339953173
No.

That looks more like they just looked the answer up then pretended to figure it out

Nah he's a mystery nut he wouldn't look it up.
>>339953745
Then he just randomly knows about a train station in taipei then
>>339953745
Please call him Beatrice from now on.
>>339953826
Well, it is said Kinzo lived in Taiwan for a bit.
>>339953826
This isn't the full conversation, but the biggest part of it.
Thanks to the atlas hint in episode 5 he was just browsing google maps.
>>339952718
I want to see it but get lost every time I start looking through the manga, any idea which chapter or page it starts at?
I loved ep 1 - 4 of Umineko and read it all in like a week but I only read like 1/4th of episode 5 and I don't feel like continuing
Does it get any better? Erika is annoying and it seems like it's turning into a shounen battle
>>339953989
The mood shifts somewhat from gameboard murders to the actual truth.
I'd say finish episode 5.
>>339953989
>Does it get any better?
I can't tell you that, because I can't assure you what you will or will not like. But I can assure you that 'Chiru' is definitely different from the first part of the story.
I personally never liked how people said 5 onwards is the "Answers Arc", something Ryukishi never said. It's really misleading and I'm saddened they are doing the same for the steam release.
>>339954161
It's because in Higurashi it was a clear Question/Answer arc split between 1-4 and 5-8
>>339945636
So does magic exist or not? Does Battler win?
>>339953981
Read the visual novel, PS3 version specifically
It's just fucking beautiful. Too bad everyone hates that episode because it has a slow start but the finale was perfect.
>>339954324
Yeah, I know.
>>339954327
Can't answer those two questions. You have to find your own answer, for not even the story itself will tell you that.
Didn't Battler get locked in a room for all eternity?
It was probably the most interesting story I read in any video games medium, if we can call VN video games.
Also GOAT ost
>>339954252
So did he win?
>>339954598
That part was a ruse by Battler
>>339954891
He sure did.
The author's ego got too big after Higurashi.
>>339953423
I still dont get it can someone explain?
>>339955213
Have you finished the game? They explain it in a lot more detail in episode 7 I believe.
>>339955258
No unfortunately. Im one of the guys who just stopped reading at episode 6
I want to like Higurashi but the characters are too young.
Wat do
>>339956748
Most of them are mature for their age, one in particular. Plus there are a good number of adults in it too.
>>339953989
>Erika is annoying
That's why it's so satisfying to watch her get rekt.
>>339953423
>>339953923
Wasn't chapter 7 the first time Taiwan was mentioned? And substituting "river" for "railway" just like that is suspicious as fuck. I don't believe he solved it on his own.
>>339950359
epic meme beatrice, who the fuck asked for truth I want reality ;^))))))))))
>>339958991
No, I believe it was in episode 5. Krauss has a flashback about going around the world with Natsuhi and saying Kinzo really enjoys Areca nuts, which at the time were really popular in Taiwan.
>>339950383
They say it's shit because they are too stupid to comprehend it, it beats metal gear solid 2.
About to start higurashi answer arcs
Does the twist go full retard like umineko or is it decent?
I vaguelly recall reading something about aliens and hallucinations caused by viruses
>>339952469
I bet he played senran kagura, it's the only way he could've figure it out.
i saw this as a fighting game, is it any good? and is there a chance of English release?
>>339959081
But there are a ton of other countries where Areca nuts are popular (look them up on Wikipedia, for example). It makes no sense to pick Taiwan if you don't already know it's the place.
>>339959350
Decent. Probably Eng release never.NEW CHALLENGER
I just rediscovered this track
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idJLgN2Pu0I&index=8&list=PL4AC2245EFEE1FABB
How the fuck did I forget about such a 10/10 tune holy shit
>>339945636
Anyone who got rused by this was stupid
They literally mentioned that Beato should try the strategy of the fable
Did anyone ever calculate the word count per episode? Or the overall word count for all 8 eps?
It's hard to gauge when you're not holding it in your hands like a book, but I'm pretty sure Umineko is pretty massive.
>>339960247
This is a pretty decent example

Christ, Umineko is long. Combined, it's over three times the length of The Lord of the Rings.

The SOCOM holds 20 rounds.
Will Ryu-chan ever make a masterpiece like Umineko again? Will we ever even see another When They Cry?

>it will never be 2008/9 again
whats the point of reading this in 2016 if you cant experience all the theory threads?
>>339961076
And only a fourth of Wheel of Time, so I should be fine.
The artstyle for this VN is hideous
>>339963060
Specula and sing-a-longs and OH DESIRE and shitty face-swap memes were the best part of late 2000s Seacats threads. Awful roleplay and all.
>>339964567
Why?
>>339964567
You are hideous.
>>339964567
There's original sprites (ugly), PS3 sprites (good) and even newer ones (less good)
>>339965117
Original might be unpolished but it has better facial expressions
Ps3 has some truly terrible ones
This series is trash, I literally had a migrain for two days after I finished it.
>>339965018
Just looks chintzy and armature and I don't like how they all have fangs..
I mean this pretty much speaks for itself.
>>339965026
>>339961076
Longer than FSN?
>>339965546
amateur*
>>339965391
I only dislike the few that look like this, the rest are fine as far as I can tell. Might be cause I never used the original ones.
>>339965640
Umineko is around 300 hours on auto it's much long than FSN
original art >> remake
>>339965640
Umineko is about 120 hours long
FS/N is about 50
>>339965546
The art might be shit but the artstyle fits the setting pretty nicely
Also girls with prominent fangs are top tier you fag
Another good example of "/v/ discusses non-videogames better than videogames"
>>339965546
It's because umineko and higurashi were kinetic novels made on a shoestring budget. Both have alternative versions if you can't stand the art
>>339950209
>>339945636
I dont know what shitty game this is buti need to know if there is porn of it
>>339965962
>Also girls with prominent fangs are top tier you fag
They're not really. It's ok when one or two characters have them to make them stand out but fucking everybody has them.
Also girl fangs lose their luster when you realize they're trying to draw nasty-ass snaggletooth.
>>339965987
vn are video games
>>339961914
Kinzo loves westerns and western culture in general. It's why all of his kids have non Japanese names. He just really likes lever-action rifles
>>339966405
I think they're trying to draw fangs.
Like a vampire.
>>339951438
i honestly didn't really like umineko that much, but i read it all anyway. favourite scene was chapter 5 with battler explaining how kinzo could have jumped out the window to leave his room, and how it wouldn't be unusual for him to do so.
>>339952018
>Play
>implying you can play something that gives you no actual input
Biggest holy shit moment. That entire tea party was amazing
>>339967169
is a game because there's player input/"gameplay" in the last 10-15 hours or so. Obviously!
Is /v/ badass enough to figure out who was the culprit of each scenario?
>>339967491
Gohda
>>339966186
When literally one person is doing the lions share of writing, art, and music, with some help from his brother, yeah, that's a shoestring budget.
A shame that R07 is a terrible artist, but he writes some entertaining stuff.

>>339967476
Its a shame I watched Higurashi's anime so I already know the answers to it. I'd like to have played through it and try to solve it properly if that is even possible.

>>339945636
Did someone post this yet?
>>339968068
Don't worry anon, it took me WAY longer than an hour to solve.
I guess it didn't make me feel like a retard, it made me realize I was a retard.
>>339968068
I felt really dumb after I solved it. I used like 3 sheets of paper worth of notes writing all the purple statements down, who dies, what statements were true, etc.
Wish I hadn't thrown it away, it would've been really interesting to look at all my thought processes again.
>>339968068
>>339969613
Honestly I wouldn't feel too bad about it. I didn't get it in an hour and dropped the game for like 2 months before picking it up and proceeding to take a couple hours to realize that there had to be 3 people curtsy of the 2nd twilight.You didn't use hints did you anon?
>>339967491
heh kid who do you think I am? A goat?
I have a graps of the truth of the gameboard rivaling that of Featherine

>tfw i'm a fucking goat who had to use wiki the understand the whole truth
This is the first time I've realized how truly retarded I really am. The most embarrassing moment for me was thatI never realised Shannon was Yasu's creation during his backstory

Same, except I'm still reading it and am in the middle of ep 6. I decided to jot down hints and theories I can think of, but I really should've done that since the beginning cause I must've forgotten stuff by now.

Anime is OH SHIT DRAMATIC CLOSEUP OF LAUGHING BLOODY SCHOOLGIRL FACES
VN is really good at making you feel paranoid, and reading Keichi's thoughts adds a lot to the horror aspect
>>339970354
I dropped it for a whole year, and sometime during that year the answer got spoiled for me.
I wish I could give myself acute amnesia and actually solve it myself.
>>339970354
How the fuck did you realize that the narration is the truth?
I was stuck until I read the hint that explained that
>>339971235
It's literally mentioned beforehand
>>339945636
>using the PS3 sprites
>>339971235
Bern says it was since she wasn't manipulating it. Once you realize nanjo is stated dead in the narration it becomes much easier to theorize.
episode 3 is really the best in every aspect
the best closed rooms and the right amount of fantasy
>>339950991
>The only characters I didn't like were the chiesta sisters, they didn't really have any sort of role in the story. Dlanor's helpers were kind of boring too.

Why are their so many trannies in this game?
>>339971550
i guess it's really just the ring of closed rooms, which i really like conceptually and the part where virgillia reconstructs the crime scene is great
it's not really a closed room but the "who killed nanjo" red web at the end is also incredible
>>339952543
I'm still waiting for the rest of the show to be subbed.
I NEED IT.
Seriously, the suffering I felt during Chiru makes this so cathartic.

You know that was just an incorrect theory right?
The only fantasy thing in Higurashi is Hanyu

>>339972369
I'm the anon that just started Kai
Hanyu is a witch and Rika is pretty much her piece right?
Just like Battler but she is able to carry meta knowledge into the gameboard
Ep 1 is just Keichi going full retard and killing people that were just going to give him a shot to cure his cold just like Irie said right?
Did I solve it?
So wait what exactly is the meta world? Does it not actually exist?
>>339972767

Good luck figuring out why k1 goes full retard before the reveal. Did anyone here figure that out before ep8?
>>339972675
the exact line says the 6 people weren't killed by traps set inside in the locked rooms, but killed by someone and later locked in the weird setup
>>339970541
I think the only way you can realistically solve eps 1-4 is by replaying them (and I imagine it's not that difficult to solve if you do), but it's like 150 hours of reading so fuck that.

Hanyuu isn't a witch. I wouldn't try and figure out what she is though, just accept that Rika has some ghost she hangs out with.
Spot on with ep 1 though, but have you figured out why?
so which one answer you guys believe?that one kid who has grown as a maid and took shannon's name and found the gold? or the huge Rosa did it everything one?
>>339972767
It exists, it can be interpreted as it's own plane of existence, or just as a metaphor of concepts and thoughts of people in the "real world"
>>339972729
are hanyuu's horns real or a memory device like the ancient hag?
>>339973381
The intellectual and correct one
>>339973043
I don't remember that. What was the reason again?
>>339973381
rosatrice is just an amusing alternate answer to some of the twilights
it's obvious that shkannontrice is canon
Did Yasu kill Nanjo in EP3? Why? Isn't she supposed to stop killing when the epitaph is solved?
>>339972767
Think of it like a separate universe where anything can happen which can observe the real world but not effect it.
Or just say it doesn't exist, but that makes the story kind of shitty.
>>339973582
maybe she wanted to spook eva one last time
>>339973498
That sounds like a theory that needs to be checked in japanese since it relies on "off" and "outside"
>>339973582
obviously just to fuck with battler in the meta world
Does anybody have that r07 interview where he says bern and lambda symbolized battler's contradicting will or something
>>339973985
Nah it's the truth
Battler then wrote some fanfiction to cover up and bullshitted Ange in exchange of money from Okonogi
>>339972729
Hanyu is just some kind of ghost goddess that was the first person to be sacrificed in the watanagashi ritual. Her back story is revealed in one of the ps2 exclusive arcs. She's literally one of the demons from Onigafuchi which is why she has the horns. The ps2 exclusive arcs are canon
Every thread until we reach the Golden Land.

no wait, checking a few pages on google does it mean the author actually confirmed shannon/kanon/beato being the same person real?
>>339974126
Does it matter? The truth is thatbattler's parents killed everyone.I 'll give you it is better than the tranny manipulating and killing everyone.
Anyone else hype?
>>339974610
the ep 7 tea party is The Truth and involves shkannontrice
>>339974610
There's no need for the author to confirm it, it's literally RIGHT FUCKING THERE IN THE VN
It's like none of you motherfuckers actually read ep7
>>339972270
Well they did
>>339974696
whats this?
>>339974696
no
ryukishi will never write anything good again now that BT is gone
>>339974804
new manga series starring takano
>>339974717
>>339974740
I actually did read the whole 8 episodes, but after so much asspull reading that whole crazy theory in episode 7 it was hard to swallow!
Is this real?
A decent umineko thread on /v/?
Holy shit, sometimes I love you guys.
Ive been re-reading ep 1 with the voice patch, pretty excited for the steam release.
Is there an english release for this? Or what's the best way to play this?
>>339975024
>is there an english release for this
Are you for real? Is looking at the OP that hard?
>>339945636
>>339975024
Download it on nyaa or wait for the Steam relase of the first half that will come out later this month
New sprites are shit though and they removed the great CGS
>>339974610
Ryukishi has referenced Shkanon in interviews. See 'Answer to the Golden Witch'
>>339974928
Keep in mind that games 1 - 6 are not the truth of the island and never were. Beato wanted Battler to remember his sin and understand her motivation. EP7 is Bern ripping the truth out of the kakera. She has no reason to lie, she wants to kill Beatrice bluntly and brutally.
>>339975024
Not officially until July 8th on Steam.
Fan patches were made as the game came out that you could install with the japanese versions.
Erika is cute!!! CUTE!!!
>>339975183
>they removed the great cgs
what? Did they remove some backgrounds?
>>339974610
The manga was written by r07 and he explained the crimes and the culprit stuff in great detail in it
It is canon
>>339975390
I want to punch her in the face.
>>339975401
They can't get the rights to the ps3 art because the company that made it went bankrupt.
ryukishi might be a terrible artist, but the facial expressions are great
i feel like they really fucked up with the facial expressions in the PS3 release
>>339975401
Yes
I would post one but it is a pretty big spoiler
>>339975183
If anyone wants to play the beta of the excellent PS3 port instead of this trash it's here

It's up to ep 3 atm

>>339973512He left the village to go to a funeral before ep1. Mion and Rena ask him about his trip and if he got them any toys or something. Leaving the village for too long triggers Hsyndrome.
>>339975509
Oh well who cares the ps3 art isnt even that good.
>>339975712
Many would disagree
>>339975712
Original might be better but pic related added a lot to the fight
The way it syncs up with the start of lastendconductor is simply excellent
>>339975569
Like this one?
>>339975909
No, like >>339975883 or pic related
>>339975507
Abusing Erika and seeing her cute face crumple up as she starts crying is also okay!!!
>>339975909
i cant believe battler was beatrice the whole time
