Well, it's absurd but not totally impossible, I guess
Why anyone would want it? Ask Aunt Kasumi or crazed Kinzo
Crazy people here we have a lot
I'm just trying to find things from 1968 to put together
So far we have:
- Battler/Jessica's birthdate
- Kyrie's miscarriage
- Rosa+Beatrice adventures

Whatever

To me, Kinzo would probably be the easiest to sneak out the island unnoticed, with help from the servants. Just leave Genji behind to make something up (like he locked himself in the room to do research again) and have like Kanon accompany him since Ginzo's an old man (and claim that Kanon is on break)

It's one of the lines we're redoing in the translation, now that we know more about what it means from EP4.

'............That's right. Kihihihihihihihi, locking a door is useless against a witch. ......Beatrice is familiar with all 72 demons. The 33rd ranked, Gaap, gives the power to instantly carry the desired person to any location.'

I wonder... does Gohda do anything special in Episode 4? Because I noticed that he made it into the top 10 of the newest Character Popularity Poll. O.o

Gohda has been somewhat popular in the past...Ep 1 and 3 he was 23/27 place, but for ep2 he was 10th

The popularity of ep4 might have to do with Happy_Maria

Even tho the polls have closed right now, the votes are really close as they are doing the recount to ensure people didn't vote more than once per day...10 votes seperates no.1~3, 30 votes seperates no.5~9...so the characters can still move around depending on the recount.

brainstorming crazy ideas

I read "And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie and it struck me how much the story resembled Umineko. I just thought that if the stories are as similar as they seem then maybe it is a fact that everyone commited some sort of crime (intentionally or unintentionally) before visiting Rokkenjima? (It would fit with the symbolic of the Stakes of Purgatory) After all Beatrice stated that even Battler had commited a crime he could not recall.
... but then again, it would contradict why the stakes are different for each victim every game...

By the way, does anyone remember what kind of lock there were on the closed rooms and the shrine?

Not necessarily,I've not played EP 4 but I can safely say that crimes often involved more than just one sin,so it wouldn't necessarily contradict anything... I think?

Hi, I visited some places whose images were used in "Umineko". I uploaded a movie comparing the original images used in our game and real photographs at Niconico-Douga:

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm6069033

Those "real" pictures were taken at some Western-style residences (Youkan in Japanese) located around Tokyo and Yokohama, Japan.

If you have niconicovideo account, please enjoy!

Or should I re-upload the (remaked) movie to YouTube?

Umineko "Pilgrimage" Images

I uploaded another pictures of western-style residences and gardens in Japan for comparison between them and images in Umineko. The URL is

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm6175431

I will be glad if you give me comments.

Enjoy!

Aaah, you got me with that portrait one. You really went all out finding all those shots.

It's pretty cool seeing everything in real life though. I liked the garden shots...but without a doubt, that mansion would be a creepy place to get stuck in on a stormy night.
