It's mostly because you'd have to kind of redo the entire game structure from the ground up (assuming the trials or equivalent thereof work similarly to how they did in DR1), rewriting the phrases, the stylishtic dialogue, redoing the Anagrams entirely to work with specific letters, and that's not even going into the localization efforts needed. And this is for a game that - until Oren did the first LP, had no Western audience, so there was no way to gauge whether it would sell or not. It would be a risky, overtly Japanese gamble that could have been very costly and bungled horrendously.


XSEED actually talked about Dangan Ronpa in the giant begging thread they have where desperate people try to convince a small localization team to dump tons of money to release their dream games, and they explained some of the stuff that we're mentioning here about art assets and such. Apparently it was something they thought about but was way too complex and costly to get off the ground on a platform like the PSP in the West.

Have I got Jojo on the brain?

The Dangan Ronpa 2 Delinquent has a Jotaro feel to him, the chain hooked into the collar of his school uniform is just so Jotaro!

And the punk girl with her hair in buns looks just so Jolyne. All they have in common is triangle hair buns and multicolored hair, its more of a stretch than Jotaro, but Im such a Jojo fiend that im seing Jojos refs in everything.

This was totally my line of thought as well when I saw the delinquent. The chain in the collar of his uniform is textbook Jotaro and I love it.

Of course, considering his already clearly low moral values, I can imagine he'd also be very likely to kill someone. He's good with knives too, being a cook.

If it wouldn't be kind of a rehash to do so, I'd almost think they would go for some kind of Yamada/Celes thing with him only framed differently. "Hey, wanna help me kill someone? You'll TOTALLY get laid afterwards" only he gets the ol' Travis Touchdown treatment (NMH1, not 2)

Really, Battle Royale 2 specifically? I guess this game and that movie both take place on an island and feature high school students, but that's where the similarities end.

People were talking about the concept of Nagito/Togami/etc being returning cast members with a "crusade" against the Despair Game, which is essentially what BR2's whole bullshit with Shuya's Wild Seven was all about. That's why the discussion reminded me of it.

Yeah, it was at that point that I turned around on the cook. I was finding him really far too weird and creepy before but now he's kind of coming off to me like a supporting character in an American Pie movie or something. It seems a lot more endearing in any case, but then again it's only like an hour into the game.

That being said, all this speculation will be all for naught if there are strong ties between DR2 and DR0. There's a JRPG series whose name escapes me at the moment which closely interlinks the games, a manga and several anime series; I wouldn't be surprised (but I would be disappointed) if this was the case with Dangan-Ronpa.

What would be nice though is if there were a tracklist with the titles in English (without the :filez:, of course). The problem with getting a Japanese copy is that all the titles are in Japanese, and while it's not essential it'd be nice to put them in a language I can actually read.

I've looked but cannot seem to find any.

I didn't look at the soundtracks themselves for spoiler concerns, but this site is pretty much the biggest game soundtrack database and they usually list the song titles in English.

In a bit of Dangan Ronpa related news, yet another tease for a PS Vita installment of the franchise came out today. This time its a two-page image in a special magazine sold at a festival sponsored by Dengeki, one of Japan's largest game news outlets. Just a nice little picture of some of the DR2 cast messing around with Vitas. Nothing groundbreaking or anything, just a picture.

The source on that "only DR1 is localizing" rumor is apparently a single tweet from a guy apparently at Anime Expo.

I'm furiously F5ing several different news sites for that press release.

I think the only instance I can ever think of where a major localization group used a fan translation was one of the Ys games? I think XSEED did that once but I can't recall the specifics. Anyway NISA is a pretty big company and they probably have their own ideas. I'm kind of amused that Hope's Peak made it through the localization pass, but not Monobear.

Alternatively, as long as the screenshot function of the Vita doesn't leave a watermark, then there shouldn't be any problem with switching for the non-trial segments.

Game by game basis, some games leave the screen clean but some put a copyright watermark on it for some reason. Spike Chunsoft's Virtue's Last Reward put the game's logo in the bottom right so I'm guessing there'll be a DanganRonpa logo there too.
