Board Thread:OFF-TOPIC: Danganronpa V3 (SPOILERS)/@comment-33205587-20170928201042

I just finished the first Class Trial of Danganronpa v3, and I've gotta get this off of my chest before I EXPLODE!

Before I continue, SPOILERS FOR THE FIRST CASE! I know I said it in the title, but you never know with some people.

Now, first of all, I kinda like what they did with the story here. It's not every day that you find out you were playing as the killer all along. Kaede being the Blackened was a good twist. Well done, guys, well done.

However, there's one thing I don't like about this turn of events: the fact that they switched from the first female protagonist in the main series (Another Episode is a spin-off) to yet another male one (who also once again has the worst voice actor in the game, but that's not the important bit). It's not like we gamers don't have enough of those already. It's also not like women are criminally underrepresented in the leading roles of games. /sarcasm.

Now, I get that it's shocking for your character to be the first blackened. But have you thought about maybe switching the roles? Why does the Ultimate Pianist have to be a girl? Why does the Ultimate Detective have to be a boy? Hell, you made your first incarnation of the Ultimate Detective a girl, and she was badass. Why does the main character have, HAVE to be a guy?

You might think I'm getting too wound up over this, but I was so glad that they decided to make the main character of the third game a girl. It felt like a breath of fresh air. But nope, psyche! Turns out it's a guy again! We got you!

If I were Jim Sterling, I would use a certain phrase now, but I'm not, so I won't. The point is, I'm very disappointed in Spike Chunsoft about this. Maybe the rest of the game will be good. I certainly hope it will be. But I'll always know it could have been better. It doesn't ruin the game for me that the main character is a guy yet again, but I would have enjoyed it more it just stuck with the girl. Bad form, guys. Bad form.

At least, not in this instance. I won't forgive, and I won't forget.

PS: Oh, and just in case some of you are going to argue that yet another hysterical girl made a tantrum about her gender not being represented enough, I think I should mention that I'm a guy.
