We already started and I think I want a avatar of Fatogami already, I know Asahina said that she would create her own donut shop but she didn't have to make Togami try all of then first.... My first theory is that....because there are some characters with DR1 characters similarities my best guess is that one of the characters who doesn't have those similarities has a big connection to someone from the DR1 cast. And oren was right. Zero just spoils the first game with the first sentence, kinda funny. IceBorg fucked around with this message at 16:04 on Dec 11, 2012 |

I also like how, so far, all of Fatogami's sprites are all a fat version of his DR1 version sprites, I hope they are like that. Also the fact that this is a sequel and we are already talking about him so much......I have a bad felling about the first victim now  Well there is also Naegi but with crazy hair so it could be him too I guess, since he was there in the very first scene my theory is that he will be the Maizono type assistant in this chapter..

Oh I don't know if anyone noticed this but when listening to the crazy hair Naegi look-alike voice clip, I'm pretty sure he has the same VA as Naegi.

Phreizr posted:The thing that really gets me about fat Togami is I swear it seems like they went out of their way to give him the EXACT SAME poses and expressions. Some of the other characters have similar traits to DR1 characters, but the callbacks strike me as especially blatant with him, to the point where I figure there has to be something up, even if it's just some weird developer in-joke. Maybe its because its the same character? I mean its pretty obvious that its where this is going, but I guess we will see.

I hope Togami still has his character development from the first game, pseudo-nice Togami was too funny and I was super glad when he survived because I thought that character change would have killed him.

There's an insignia on his chest that's colored exactly the way blood is in Dangan Ronpa. But yeah I got the same Leon vibe from him, but my theory is that this time the Maizono-type character of this game will sucessed in her murder plan!

Yeah the whole Hinata vs Naegi is interesting. One of the things I'm looking forward to now, is how Hinata will react to the death game. With Naegi's personality and the fact that he was the protagonist it clearly told us that there was a very low change of him murder someone and so his role in the story was very predictable in that way, but with this info on Hinata's character I'm very interested on how he will react to everything and how he will lead the trials.

Gundam Tanaka?!? That is the best name! They are just making him not have any lines on purpose now. And yep that's totally DR1's Togami, it was too funny not to be true. Well at least we have full names already. Oh and that Monomi song is quite awesome I must say.

I also laughed at Togami's shocked sprite, it took him 4 chapters in the first game to see his shocked sprite, but here its right on the second update. I guess a Heart-Thumping School Trip is more shocking than a game of life and death

Speaking of DRZero, oren is it alright to know how long is it? You mentioned some times that it brings up some plot points that lead to this game, so its safe to assume that its short enough that you will finish it before those plot points become important? If the answer is kinda spoilery or it's just a thing you don't want people to know, no need to answer, I'm just a bit curious.

Bifauxnen posted:I can buy this anagram guy being Naegi all along. It would fit with how he was the first character we saw instead of our protagonist, giving him some special importance. Even his hair going all crazy like that would be pretty fitting for someone who's been getting by in a post-apocolyptic despair society for a while. I wonder how much of their memory's been zapped away, though? Even if they got the Kirigiri super amnesia treatment, they'd be left with a much bigger gap than the others that would be far more suspicious to them. And Togami would have a lot more questions about what happened to his body! Just throwing that possibily out there.

Wow that DR0 update was very interesting. One of the things I got from it is that there were two incidents at work: -The Worst Incident in Hope’s Peak Academy’s History mentioned here. -The Worst, Most Despair- induncing Acident in the History of Mankind mentioned in DR1. I will take a gamble and say that the fact that the first one was covered up led to the creation of the second thanks to SHSL Despair, and that "parade"(riots maybe?) had something to do with it. Also I assume that the first one is connected to the bloody classroom in DR1 since we never found out what caused so I guess now that it was a student that went kill crazy in there.

December Octopodes posted:If Togami really did infiltrate this version of Hope Academy, how did he deal with the memory loss experienced by everyone. It seems plausible that this is Togami, but the change in time is difficult to explain. Also the room probably didn't start out at the island given that Hinata had to make an entrance. The way I see it, the same thing that happened to Naegi and co., with their memories, happened with Hinata and co. but they just lost it way later, besides Togami I guess.

Huh, so that is why he became fat. According to Junko Monoworld was a pretty dangerous place... On a more serious note, unless we have another characer who starts to play a similar role to Maizono(but I don't think they will use that same plot device again), Togami is doomed.

Okay I'm going to continue this LP with the fact that Nagito isn't Naegi. With that out of way, the fact that the school invited SHSL Good Luck people every year makes me come to the conclusion that this cast of students are upperclassmen to the DR1 cast!(besides Togami I guess) Junko in the first game said that Naegi and co. only spent one year in their school year at Hope Academy and then another year at the locked school, so that would mean that Naegi should be the last SHSL Luck the school invited. Of course this is only based on the fact that Nagito isn't Naegi. Also yeah Nagito appears to have a difernt personality than Naegi. Also if he keeps hanging out with us maybe Togami isn't doomed....yay! getitoffgetitoff posted:Even if Nagito isn't Naegi, there has to be some sort of (in-universe) explanation to the similarities.

Dragonatrix posted:From what I remember of the last trial of DR1, I'm pretty sure Naegi et al. were there for 2 years before The Most Despairing Event happened. Here is the DR update in question: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3447397&pagenumber=660#post409115251 This is the important part: quote:
As you can see, they were only at school for a year so if Nagito is really another student who went to the school because of his Luck and he and the others belong to the same class it would only make sense that they are older than the DR1 cast. Of course this is only my theory from the info we have so far, it could change in the future.

Our story can be traced back to two years ago!
That said, it did not last long. Peace only lasted a single year.

EchoPrima posted:Doesn't the fact that the purpose of this school trip is to teach the students about hope and friendship make the possibility of DR1's Naegi and Togami showing up kind of pointless? I mean you've got two survivors of the school of mutual killing who learned about hope, one of whom earned the title SHSL Hope, so surely they would have no reason to attend this school trip intended for teaching hope. Also, has there even been any mention of the Despair incident? I find that odd. And that will totally work and there won't be any murder! Happy end!

Joenen posted:However, it is extremely interesting that Junko mentioned how their hapiness only lasted for a single year. We "know" more or less that their first year was...."normal" until the most despair inducing event, what we don't know is what happaned during the year after. Then Junko and Mukuro kill the headmaster, put the other students to sleep, remove their memories of the last two years, and built all the Death Game stuff: the machine guns, the trial rooms, the execution machines and etc.(also I would assume they had help of other Despair people with this, because I don't think both could do this stuff alone).

Speaking of waiting until more updates I have a feeling that, if you can go talk to the other students in any order you want, oren will leave Gundam to be the last one possible. The game made sure that he be the only character that didn't get any lines so far and just by his name and design me and, I'm sure, many others want to know what is up with him. But since oren is the Monobear of this thread.....well.

I think everyone has already said everything that needs to be told about Gundam, let me just add........wow. About Souda....he really reminds me of Leon in a away, he was a pretty cool dude too before the whole.....murder thing, so he probably will last longer this time, I hope, he seems to be a nice dude....like Leon did ugh. His skill also reminds me of Chihiro in a away, because in the first game her skill was also one of the most useful but then she died on a chapter where a broken computer was found. So if there is a chapter where a broken machine is found he better be careful when that happens.

Ok that part was really interesting because it could really have something to do with Hinata's SHSL skill...well "not SHSL skill" in this case, as some people have said already. Also being a regular student in that school must have been a pain, I bet there is some pretty bad stuff between diferent students in this story down the road. It kinda reminds me of Assasination Classroom because that has a similar thing going on. Another interesting part: orenronen posted:“But, it’s so unfair!” I puffed my cheeks.

Uhhhh I may be missing something here but I'm pretty sure that "Bogus System" to go take classes in the main school happens when the normal students are already inside Hope Academy in the Preparatory school, I think if the lottery had anything to do with that, Naegi would have mentioned that he went to the school already in the beginning of the game.

EchoPrima posted:How ironic that a school specifically known for creating the nations hope is probably going to be the same one to create a world ending despair event. The prep students are probably well meaning, just protesting Hope's Peak's unfair education system they've been dealt, however peaceful protests can soon become violent and I suspect Junko will take this opportunity to cause despair. As for Hinata actually being a prep student, I suppose it could work but why would he be brought along on the class trip with actual SHSL students. What makes him so special? About Hinata, I think this is the answer: quote:“It doesn’t just seem like one.” Matsuda-kun’s mouth twisted in a bitter smile. “Right now, Hope’s Peak Academy is set up like a third world country’s pyramid class system. The multitude of students in the preparatory school exist only to support the few Super High-school Levels in the main one. It seems they have some kind of bogus system in place for exceptional students to transfer to the main school, but I’ve never heard of anyone actually succeeding. Our teachers probably don’t think any of them deserve it.” If indeed Hinata was a prep student I think this has something to do with him being in this class.
