 So what is this about? Super Dangan Ronpa 2: Goodbye Despair Academy is a PSP murder mystery game published by Spike Chunsoft on July 27, 2012. It was written by Kazutake Kodaka with character design by Rui Komatsuzaki. I see a 2 in the title. Should I know anything about 1? Yes! Super Dangan Ronpa 2 is clearly written for players who have already finished the first game. In fact, if you are not familiar with the original Dangan Ronpa, stop reading right now and find out about it. One way to do it is by reading my LP for it (this link will change to an archived version once it is available). So, is anything different from the first LP? Several things. First, despite constant reassurances, as a non-native speaker I was never quite satisfied with my prose writing skills in English. This time I have help: Fedule is working with me editing and rewriting the translation, and the result should be immediately noticeable. Some things to note: I was never an advocate of translations that are too literal, but this development pushes this one even farther away along the scale. I still wouldn't call this a "localisation". You won't find rice balls transformed into hamburgers here, and if the characters are talking about something that isn't obvious to the average westerner I'd rather provide cultural notes than do content changes. That said, we do change some references that are just too obscure or too deeply ingrained in the text. Finding the right balance is tricky, but I think the game deserves this kind of handling. Oh, and honorifics are still in. Formatting Notes: Plain text next to a character icon is still spoken dialogue, bold text is our protagonist’s narration and inner monologue.  My own additions are still next to a small Monobear icon for gameplay related stuff and the occasional personal comments. ...and next to a Japanese flag for cultural references. These are my comments. That is to say, Fedule’s comments. I write these unspoiled, so reactions are genuine. I won’t be doing it much, though - the game speaks well enough for itself. This icon appears next to music links, as well as indicators for silence, fade-outs, and any other important things going on in the soundtrack. The adventure parts of the game are mostly unvoiced, but some sections are voiced and recorded for your listening pleasure. They have a speaker icon in front of the first voiced line. Video links are still between film icons . Full videos of trial sequences will be provided to showcase the game's excellent vocal talent and dynamic camera movement, but the content will all be replicated in screenshots. Videos in the adventure part, however, should be considered required viewing.Finally, we have a new icon for an unidentified speaker, thanks to the talented HelloWinter.  SPOILER POLICY This LP enforces a strict NO SPOILER policy. Since there is some confusion about what that means, allow me to elaborate:
Speculation is always welcome. Don't put it under a spoiler tag. Spoilers disguised as speculation are likely to pass without immediate repercussions, but remember that I am not stupid and if I see something that is too detailed and exact for me to have any doubts, you're going to get Monobear's watchful eye following your every move. Fan art policy If you want to draw fan art or produce other types of fan creations, go right away and post the results on the thread! Original fan art is always one of the best parts of an LP. If you want to repost found artwork (including video) from other places on the web, please send me a private note first for approval. I am reachable by PM on somethingawful, or at hopespeakacademy@gmail.com. If you're going by email, though, the reply may be late since I do not check that account every single day. One last thing This game's story is twisty and surprising, and there are a lot of spoilers out there. As always, I recommend coming into the story clean - I don't think watching spoiler art or reading a cliff's notes version of the plot has the same effect. If you choose to follow that advice, I suggest you don't go looking anywhere else the web for information about the game. Spoilers are literally everywhere.  Dangan Ronpa/Zero is a novel published by Seikaisha’s FICTIONS imprint on September 16, 2011. It was written by Kodaka with illustrations by Komatsuzaki. DR/Zero is a prequel to the first game, but also provides important setup for SDR2. Its cast is mostly new, but also contains some returning faces. It’s a fully canon part of the Dangan Ronpa storyline, and you are getting a serialized translation of it in this thread, between game updates.
