How is the New MC Compared to Hajime ?

[from small town]

Part of what I liike about DR2 is the protagonist which is not as bland as Makoto.

How about this MC? and without spoiling do you think this plot is as good as DR2 ?

[Kinka Tsihon]

Hajime is still the best protag for me But Kaede is kinda better then Makoto. Also she has lots of references to classical music
Im still on chp 1 so no strong opinion abt plot yet

[Cazabrow]

Hajime > Kaede > Makoto.

Liking the happy-go-lucky character is fine but I appreciated Hajime because he was a more relatable realistically-reacting kind of character - he called people out if they acted like a ♥♥♥♥ and wasn't naive to people's bad sides, whereas Makoto prefered to avoid conflict. I've only met all the other ultimates so far but Kaede seems more like Hajime than Makoto but with a cheekier side to her.

All in all not bad.

Let's be real, based off of what I heard and think is going to happen with Kaede, she is automatically the number 1 protagonist out of all 3 of them. They're all stupid except for her, I can't believe she is even this smart, xD, and I haven't even played the game yet.
And the plot is the best out of the series...Not the plot twist at the end, because nothing can beat SDR2's plot twist, but how every Chapter is written out, they're the best out of the series...

Not many have gotten really far into the game yet. I just reached the first death, and she's still not as good as Hajime. She's just happy go lucky, and gets swayed by people so easily

At least Kaede is honest and she stands up to herself and makes a few remarks sometimes when she's annoyed, like Hajime. That's what I think, personally.

I'll just say that I love DRV3's protag, maybe even more than Hajime, though the verdict's still out. I do love Hajime.

Oh...I love Kaede the best, xD. Maybe it's because she's female. I tend to love females more than males, but I am not sexist, xD.

I would agree with you on your points...

I do like Kaede quite a bit. She is pretty cute too, though I don't really dig the blond hair.

I just finished Ch. 2 and I'm confident in saying that I'm starting to like DRV3's protag more than Hinata.

This has heavy spoilers, read at your own risk
you have 2 protagonists which is a fresh breath to the game

anyway, Kaede is asahina style, super positive girl, which actually has the guts to do something about the situation they were put in, I wouldn't mind to have played more as her

fking detective boi Sahara is kind of a ♥♥♥♥♥, altho he gives a feeling of being really smart I don't enjoy his personality at all so yeah, HAJIME FOR THE WIN

[SillyGoose74]

Yes , I like Shuichi

I hope so, xD. We all have our own opinions though...

Thanks for the reply. I finished the game just now and I felt really disappointed, similar feeling when i finished Zero Time Dilemma.
It doesnt change the fact that I like Hajime more.
At least the v3 MC is better than Makoto

Makoto has nothing going for him at all, exactly like he said when he introduced himself. He was just an [insert person here] character. He's like a small party background politician. The only reason he even has friends is because all survivors became friends together through hardship. Otherwise he would have mainly interacted with just Kirigiri, I'm sure (and only that because he wanted her knowledge/skills).

Hajime was a little bit better, since he at least had some opinions of himself. But he was too afraid of conflict and basically still somewhat of a wuss. There were plenty of things/people he didn't like but never said anything about it unless it was serious business (life and death). Until halfway/near the end he became a bit stronger as a character and I started liking him a bit more. He still was pretty average, though.

Kaede is, to me, the best protagonist of the trhee because she actually has a full personality. She has stress and doubt about what to do, but also joy and humor and lots of interaction with others. Plus, she actually tells people when they're being rude/annoying instead of just shutting up and walking away. And she was pretty quick to try and make some plans where other protags just watched and waited for at least three chapters.

TLDR:
Makoto is a nobody without personality. = bad
Hajime has some personality, but still pretty average and too meek. = okay
Kaede has a strong personality and drive to do stuff. = quite good

BIG SPOILERS:
Shuichi is somewhere between Hajime's level and Kaede's level. Again, he's way too much of a wuss at first, but he gets A LOT better instead of just a bit better like Hajime

[mutantbeth]

kaede is my fav. shes more upbeat and headstrong compared to the others.
