I will go into more detail about why this would have been a good idea imo in the Case 3-6 write up(eventually), but I think it would have added a much needed layer to Himiko that I would have loved, and it would have made the ending really pack a punch. Like, Himiko as the Mastermind over Tsumugi would have shot her up in my ranking significantly. I also think the game missed a HUGE opportunity with Mastermind Reveal. Peko's death and the impact on Fuyuhiko is what makes them great. And its not like that catalyst for change can't work or can't be effective- Kaede's death and the impact it had on Shuichi was brilliantly done and one of my favorite aspects of all the games. I already didn't like her a whole lot, but watching those I liked more die instead of her? Meh. But at that point, the damage had been done. Like I appreciate that after their deaths she snapped out of it and became someone more useful, unlike Akane. Just like Nekomaru and Akane, I hated seeing more interesting characters like Angie and Tenko dying in order to further Himiko's arc. Like it didn't endear me to Himiko you know? I just rolled my eyes when the far better people around her were trying to get her to be not an annoying, useless, sack of shit. Himiko using laziness and not trying as a coping mechanism to deal with the stress of the situation is already kinda boring and meh. And I think that is because the catalyst of Himiko's growth is the death of far superior characters, much like my problem with Akane. She had one of the bigger growth arcs in v3, and tbh it was not nearly as interesting as Maki/Shuichi/Kaito to me. I do appreciate Himiko's growth, which is why she is not lower. Like it WORKED in Chapter 2, but after that. Tenko, Angie, Gonta, and Mui all did repetitive schtick far better in a way that was more interesting to me or was actually funny. Sometimes the repetitive schticks worked(Daily Atua ), but for me, Himiko's just wasn't cutting it. This is something v3 was super guilty of. One my critiques is Danganonpa is that too often the characters are hammering the same little schtick or quirk over and over and over again in replace of actual. Like it worked in Chapters 1 and 2, but after that I was officially Over It. Then Chapter 3 happened, and I KNEW that she would be a Survivor and it irritated the shit out of me.Ī big part of that irritation came from getting tired of the "No magic is REAL" thing real quick. After Chapter 2 I was feeling pretty sure she was being set up to be a Survivor. And since I didn't really like her, there was a lot of dread for me when playing.
The voice quirks Himiko had like Nyehhhhhhh weren't cute for funny to me, they were just grating.
I will so most of it is probably because of the voice acting. ***Again, lots of Danganronpa v3 spoilers below****
