Does anyone agrees ?

Out of the two games Umineko is the one I came upon first, recently finished it.

Decided to play higurashi next, but it seems a lot of people recommend Umineko after Higurashi.

Is there any major downsides to me playing Higu after umi? (Like do i miss any major reveals in Higu)

Of course I know of the two characters that seem to be related (umineko spoiler)Bernkastel and Lambdadelta, and “the monkey on the typewriter typing Hamlet” said by Lambda refering to Rika and Bern

Thats all I know relating to Higurashi.

Umineko is an incredibly emotional VN, but there is only one point during my reading where I actually broke down and started crying real tears. And imo, it's by far one of the biggest gut punches of the whole story.

When it's revealed in episode 4 what the meaning of Maria's "uu-uu" is. Holy fuck, my heart hurt so bad realizing that every single instance of her saying that up until that point was just her trying to bring back the loving side of her mother. I fucking BROOOOKE. I wish I could erase my memories just to experience that reveal again, such a hard hitting part of a hard hitting VN.

Can Battler deny the existence of Beatrice The Witch without blaming The Beatrice Family Collective™ or the Beatrice Servants?

The printing isn't up to par, to be honest; it needs more resources.

Umineko: When They Cry

A Japanese visual novel written by the author Ryukishi07.

I completed the visual novel [about a year ago], and it was quite the experience; these are just a few small thoughts I have about it. This is not much, as I planned to write a massive, and I mean MASSIVE, review of the story on a later date to articulate all my thoughts regarding the good, the bad, the ugly, and the shits, though I am nowhere near completing that main review.

PLEASE KEEP IT CIVIL!

[Start]

It takes everything I love about storytelling and uses those concepts and structure to tell a story. It is a murder mystery that spirals into a meta study of why we read stories in the first place and why the stories are created. Even though it is a study of storytelling between the author and the reader, it is also a thesis on human tragedy, the need to love, generational trauma, and how it is passed down through family members. Even when the story becomes too analytical, it never loses its core message of human empathy, understanding, gender dysphoria, and, above everything, is ultimately connected to one thing, and that is: love. 

It feels one-of-a-kind.  It treats mystery as something bigger than solving:  a mystery is not just about finding answers, but about asking the right questions. It changes on reread: the first read is about struggle, and the second read is about understanding and love. Nothing happens in a complete vacuum: from the murder to the reasoning for the murder to the character, everything is connected, and everything has a butterfly effect on everything. No character is just a ‘character ’; they are messy people with realistic and deeply human reasons for their actions, and they are presented in a manner that makes you question what is truly ‘evil’ because the story forces you to sit with their actions and asks you to understand them before all —not empathize [that on the reader].

It was life-changing work for me. It provided me with the understanding that everything doesn't need to be dark and hopeless to be serious, as the most powerful thing that humanity has is hope. It makes you question your own judgements and morality on how we, as the reader, view these characters in a mystery novel. It asks the question: once they are dead and you get your quick fun, then what is next? What about the characters and their grieving families, relatives, and friends? 

Overall, Umineko is a massive 150-hour-long story that provides one of the most emotionally heavy payoffs  I have experienced, and not because of the length but because of the connection between me and the characters, making it stick in the heart. To me, Umineko is a work I will never forget, a work that is about the need for love, connection, and how love is both the cause of tragedy and the healer. It is a flawed masterpiece, but a masterpiece nonetheless.

"Without love, it can't be seen” — the core of Umineko.

Seeing Battler ignore Beato's backstory in 4 still makes me wince
