Post subject: | DGS2 in Famitsu 5/23: Case 2 details, new art |
You can always tell a new AA game is around the corner when Famitsu starts getting monthly scoops! This week's issue will feature new details on the game's (presumably) second case, a fatal poisoning in Souseki's London flat. We also get a look at the victim and a new witness, both of whom look mighty familiar (even if they only briefly appeared in DGS1); the yellow-jacketed man's name is given as "Decago Meterman". ( Layton's Mystery Journey will also be featured in the issue. Details to come! Update: The issue is out! Here's a detailed shot of Decago's art/screenshots: And full scans (sorry they're a touch smaller than normal ATM): Spoiler: Scans Bullet points:
The article on Layton's Mystery Journey isn't tremendously detailed, but a few things from it:
Update: The official DGS2 site has updated with art of Susato, Iris, Barok, and Decargo (whose official name is given as "Decargo Mieterman".) You can also take a look at this behind-the-scenes video of Capcom recording tapdancer Yan Rin performing motion capture and percussion for the game.

I'm liking the new artwork, although I'm always a bit wary of this marketing tactic of revealing new information about a new case each month. Sort of ruins the surprise of what's coming next, case progression etc. To be fair though, I have no idea how else they'd do it. |

It's been pretty standard for the series since at least AAI1, to be fair. It robs some of the surprise, but there's not much else new they can show off (especially in DGS2's case given the main cast and systems are carrying over.)

The pixelation is intentional from Famitsu's side so as not to "give away" the juicy bits of the article. As for your speculation, it's entirely possible they used a placeholder model for the footage they showed last month. |

And the name is of course a portmanteau of dekai (big) and ago (chin). |

I pity the fan translators who'll have to try and make the other names sound English :p Also, I've been looking at the pixelated parts on the right of the second one and I can make out some parts of it. I can see Ryuunosuke, Baroque, Gregson, Sōseki, and the Decago. I don't see why they're censoring it so far. Not sure about the left of the second one though. Edit: I was looking again at the right side of the second one when I saw... Spoiler: Maybe spoilers |

i don't think juror 3 would have been a good choice for a placeholder model, the juror models have no legs so it's clear contradiction....they could have just made him a new set of legs....but maybe it is kinda spoilery if they added the true victim in the trailer... still would like if it was juror 3 though.... hope your right Southern Corn.....i sure hope it's a double murder..... on the other hand...WHOPEE JUROR 3 IS STILL ALIVE!!!! |

They're 3D models so I would expect them to do full body models in any case, even if they just show the top half. Also it's pretty much guaranteed that juror no. 3 was used as fake victim as a joke, because he ended up pretty high in the popularity vote. |

Decago is an automatic suspicious character for me. So much for double murder, I guess. I kinda like how this apparently takes place in between D-4 and 5. But then it raises the question of how this isn't referenced at all in the fifth case. Will the Garridebs show up? |

Read the OP. The article states that it takes place before Sōseki returns to Japan. Though it could imply it takes place right in between D-5 and D2-1. But right after D-5. |

Huh, interesting that it's (probably) during the 2-month gap between Clouded Kokoro and Unspeakable Story, though I do recall during the latter case that Naruhodo & Co. Law Offices didn't particularly do much during that time. Heck, considering the fact that Souseki's a witness during DGS2-1, that case probably segues to this one via conversation and flashback. Also, it seems that we're probably gonna get an explanation as to why the flat's supposedly "cursed". Perhaps more curious is the fact that Sherlock gets himself involved in this case because of that flat's notoriety. Hmm... By the way, does Hamlet Guy have a name? |

Now that I think about it, the first announcement of the game said that Ryunosuke would not be able to stand in court due to reasons related to the first game, right? I guess this explains how he can be the lawyer in this case without any mention of that. |

CourtroomShenanigans wrote: By the way, does Hamlet Guy have a name? Nope! It's missing from the article entirely. This isn't unprecedented - on the contrary, in recent marketing for AA games the victims tend to have their names omitted. The aforementioned recording of the tap-dancing session is now up - no game footage, but a clean listen at the trailer theme we've been hearing (which incorporates the taps as an instrument.) Official site updated as well. |

Post subject: | Re: DGS2 in Famitsu 5/23: Case 2 details, new art |
EDIT: Whoops, upon closer examination much of that tapping was for recording the trailer theme (which I think is either a major character theme or this game's Pursuit). Still, there's quite a bit of motion capture footage there, and if this follows the last game the dancing character might be someone major. |

Post subject: | Re: DGS2 in Famitsu 5/23: Case 2 details, new art |
To me, that theme definitely sounds like the Joint Reasoning Theme for this game. So the tap dancing character is still most likely Sherlock IMO. |

Post subject: | Re: DGS2 in Famitsu 5/23: Case 2 details, new art |
With the way his descriptions are written, I suspect the pun behind Decago Meterman (Mitaman)'s last name is one of those super literal puns Takumi often uses: mita (he saw) + man. The man who saw something -> witness (same idea as Frank Sawhit). |

The trailers do use the usual Joint Reasoning and Court suites alongside the trailer theme and Ryuu's 2017 Objection, so I guess the usual Joint Reasoning music will be used (unless they are placeholders, which is possible). |

Yeah, I meant the red/blackish thing. It's very awkwardly placed, there. If the text that goes with it is an article about fish & chips, there's probably nothing suspicious happening there. Also, is it just me or is there something SERIOUSLY wrong with the way Iris's body is positioned in her new status art? Look at the angle of her feet and then look at her head. Somehow the rest of the body fails to account for that difference. It's like the top half of her body is still sort of facing towards the camera, along with the skirt, but the bottom half is facing away and afdlkjfdalkfa how even. Especially that right leg, good lord... |

Post subject: | Re: DGS2 in Famitsu 5/23: Case 2 details, new art |
After going back to the January Famitsu issue, I'm more convinced that this case does take place between DGS1-4 and DGS1-5. The blurb there talked about how a letter from Susato to Ryuunosuke "brought to mind another case, hidden until now". When I first saw that, I assumed it was referring to something like an Asougi flashback case (which was my guess for what would start the game for a long time). But as we all know that's not what happened. So instead it sounds like Susato's letter - which I'm guessing is recapping the events of DGS2-1 to Ryuunosuke - reminds Ryuunosuke and Holmes of this case, presumably because Souseki was involved in DGS2-1 as well. What I still can't wrap my head around is why they would structure it like this. Unless this case is much more deeply linked to the overall DGS story arcs than we think, flashing back to this period adds nothing from a plot perspective or a character perspective. My only real guess is that Susato won't get back to London until case 4 or 5, and they wanted to have another case with Ryuunosuke/Susato/Holmes/Iris all together before that. I guess it could also serve as a way to get new players up to speed, though they sure seem to be marketing DGS2 as "please play DGS1 first", lol. |
