Or we won't. Honestly, I'm warning you, this is the ultimate prelude to a cop-out finale that will leave people "talking" about something he never intends to confirm. It's the perfect opportunity, and much as I see it coming I sure as hell don't like it.

Of course, there's always the chance he's chickening out, but I honestly don't think so.

I hope we get the perspective from Dr. Nanjo... I always wanted to preform autopsies from an underdeveloped, elderly, obese man in VN form...
Oh well it's probably Battora...

Man, being challenged by one of the world's greatest trolls to break through his story sounds like a game worthy of being the climax of this story. Im seriously looking forward to it. Really. If his desire is to hurl illusion and misdirection at us at the very end before reaching "the truth"... Oh man. Let's say that it is a choice node format. What if the win condition is to correctly replicate the events of Rokkenjimma Prime, and from there unlock the one "truth", thus revealing the true ending? That'd be awesome. Man. Im burning up even more. December cant come soon enough. Hey, Will, race ya. You may not have guessed this by now, but I am ridiculously excited about this. |

Why are you so convinced that just having choices will lead to a cop-out ending, Renall? Considering that we have an antagonist whose M.O. is dragging worst-case options out of the Sea of Fragments, you don't see any potential for a satisfying narrative?
Let me revise my prediction. I predict that the viewpoint character of EP8 will be the game master, Bernkastel. The choices will be her attempts to twist the truth that Battler wants to spin for Ange, and Battler will have to refute every twisted sequence of events she can come up with. We'll also see the truth of Bern's backstory come out.

It's still easily possible for it to be Yasu (choose your life! Shannon, Kanon, or your own self!) or Ange. |

It's not like I want to be disappointed, I'm just very heavily expecting it if he didn't speak a little too freely at the interview and actually meant something slightly different. Like I said, if he clarifies, it might make considerably more sense and actually sound like something potentially exceptional. But from just what we have, I am skeptical as hell.

So the basic premise is that "the murders happen, Battler is there, and can influence the course of events". We extrapolate from there that by taking control of Battler, and determining his actions, we can then figure out what the consequences of those hypothetical decisions are. If we have deduced the "true" decisions Battler made, we can come to the "One Truth" of Rokkenjimma, and break open the catbox once and for all. I can't wait to unlock the "Epic Bout between Battler and George" route. |

I actually laughed when she died. Not when she died, that was actually a strong moment. But once Beato began to describe how she died with a complete deadpan expression, it was hilarious. |

If it's a 'choose your route' kind of scenario I wonder how many people will be honest about getting the bad ending on their first run through. The ones who truly understood the story (probably Jan-Poo) may get the correct ending in one shot.
Yeah, we need some more clarification on what he means by this. I can't wait three months with this knowledge.

That is the "correct" route, so it falls under the terms of our competition. |

-If the character we are playing as is Ange, getting a game over as soon as possible means winning. -If we are playing as anyone else, then our goal becomes to solve everything and get the good ending. |
