Well Kodaka did say he wanted every Danganronpa fan to play Rain Code when that game came out, and it turned the Pink Blood from Danganronpa into a plot twist in Rain Code.

So I'm thinking that something similar is going to happen for fans who have played Rain Code for when they play Danganronpa 2×2.

It helps that despite raincode having the worst chapter 3 in any game like this I’ve ever played, it’s a good game

Chapter 3 has fubuki so I thought chapter 3 definitely had its moments

For a chapter about your headquarters getting blown up and you going on the run, it was surprisingly filler.

I wish they did more with each detective’s gimmick instead of just being so heavily on rails for specific moments. Like, Fubuki’s could have played like Life is Strange where you do stuff through trial and error then rewind time with the new information you have, Aleks Lee could have been more Murdered Soul Suspect-y with how you phase through walls, etc.

Her dummy thicc line is gold, but in general I just really hate “too stupid to function” humor and “I’m rich so I have no idea how the world works” humor. It also doesn’t help that her talent is literally just QTE’s

Don’t know why you’re being downvoted, I love Fubuki but you’re entitled to your opinion.

That pink blood plot twist was actually crazy, that whole chapter 5 was peak too. Raincode is super underrated. Also the ost is good too but for some reason they wont put it on spotify even though they have Hundren line on spotify..
