If V5 is coming out this year, then AHS just made an incredibly big mistake releasing Akari towards the bottom of an era. I think the chances of everything be rolled out within 2018 isn't good... so if I had to bet my 5 bucks I'd say, maybe early 2019 would be the earliest they can roll this new engine out. Whisper's on the wind is that it's coming soon.tm maybe as early as May 2018 but never seen official sources on that lol, it was just spammed on random vocaloid chats on discord. I'm not expecting major improvements, but it would be nice if there were at least some simple QOL changes and tweaks to the V5 engine.

I think what isn't great about NDRV3 is for sure the ending (which is why I'm trying to ignore the last trial of the game because it kind of ruined Keebo for me as well as every character ever lol), but also some parts of the story writing felt a little bit rushed. I forgot which # case this is but the occult one was my cup of tea. I loved it. Also the Miu virtual world case was really fun to play too. This new game was a lot crazier than every other dangan ronpa game and it was a bit meme-y for me. I love kaede don't get me wrong, but some of the lines out of her mouth is sort of fanservicey and pervert tier lol. Trial 2's writing completely fell off for me. The set up and reveal was way predictable. @_@ I found the sol parts really cute!!! I speedplayed through the game and I didn't realize how golden their casual dialogues were. I had a lot of fun talking to Miu, Kokichi and Keebo. They're class acts.

I'm sure it's not the last installment in the series given how huge danganronpa is, but I hope this "trying to outdo the craziness of the last cast/ game in general" is not a new trend in the games. They need to keep the cases and trials unpredictable. I'm okay with a less crazy cast. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like the cast in NDRV3 was a lot unhelpful during trials and investigation because of their personal quirks more so than the previous games.

I'm wondering how they can deal with the "ending" of NDRV3 and also if it means Kokichi can make a return like komaeda did. Komaeda being alive in trigger happy made me really happy.
