It's true; quite aside from the editorial decisions I don't fully agree with, Danganronpa's localisation has just technically not been very good. V3 did literally ship with a typo in the all singing all dancing opening cinematic; "a new killing game with begin again", dramatically rendered in enormous text on your screen. The typo is only the beginning of that sentence's problems. Probably my favourite NISA Danganronpa funfact is this, which I'm going to post in spoiler tags even though it is an incidental detail in Ultra Despair Girls, which I am certain is never going to be LP'd; UDG makes reference to the big tragic despair incident 人類史上最大最悪の絶望的事件, but several times actually refers to it as "the worst, most despair-inducing incident in the history of mankind", which is, uh, not the NISA-approved translation (that would be "the biggest, most awful, most tragic event in human history". I wonder how that happened?

GuyUpNorth posted:You'd think NISA has competent translators with agreed-upon romanization, if they use in-house team. If not? Anything goes I guess. With NISA, any game they localize actually developed by Nippon Ichi Software (Disgaea, etc.) turns out well, and just about anything else they do does... not, or at best it's a mixed bag. Ys VIII actually had major outcry about it, even before it was released in the US, since all of a sudden they were being weighed against XSEED. Probably the best-known or at least funniest-out-of-context goof was calling an area "Archaeozoic Big Hole", but there were. A lot of mistakes.

I remember hearing shortly after AT2's release, they had a massive amount of openings in the translation team, given the amount of untranslated text, putting the wrong text on dialogue choice boxes, and the infamous game-crashing bug that only happens in the NTSC release, I highly doubt that it's coincidence. Mana Khemia 2 also had a similar game-freezing bug that was in the NTSC one for the same 'hosed up the coding while translating' reason.

In one of the Atelier games they completely failed to translate a major game mechanic, hosed up the coding in said mechanic so that just accessing it in game caused the ps3 to hard lock and then had the balls to claims that it wasn’t significantly detrimental to game play when it was pointed out to them. NISA doesn’t give the slightest gently caress.

NISA only seem to give care to actual Nippon Ichi games, Vanillaware, Spike Chunsoft, and Gust clearly have a more half-assed process.

   : Time to see if we make it through this.   : ...Hm? Where's Sonia? : I told her about the bombs but she wouldn't listen to me. She said she'd catch up with us later... : Later? Why...?: She should know that now isn't the time for that, but...  : Can...I go bring her? : Do you *really* think there's time for that, you loving dumbass!?: You're right...we need to stop the bombs first. : A-All right...let's go...!♪ Music fades out. ♪  We steeled our nerves, and charged into the factory.   The first thing I noticed was the roaring engine of a nearby truck. : A truck? Why...? : I could talk to the others but no one has anything particularly interesting to say. There's a truck parked in the middle of the factory... A lot of dangerous-looking objects are loaded on the bed of the truck...!   : Th-Those things...on top of the bed... Is that it...?: I don't know how powerful they are, or if they have enough power to blow up the entire island but... If there are that many...they must be extremely powerful. Did he really drive this truck and carry over all these bombs!? : Kazuichi...can't you disarm these bombs? You're good at that kind of stuff, right? : I thought I could, but... It looks like the engine is also acting as the detonator... Dammit...so that's why the engine is still running... The bombs are set up so when the engine stops running the insulator will blow off and trigger the explosion... : I don't care how it's built! Can you disarm it or not!? : It's impossible...I don't have enough time. The main detonator was put inside this bulky metal box and welded shut...: Th-There's no way I can disarm it if I can't get this thing open! : So it's going to take you a long time? That's not good...I mean, it's almost... : Yeah...noon...  : What if...we used the tools at the military base?: W-We don't have time for that! : The truck's engine is the detonator, right? Then can't we stall for time by adding gasoline?: It's no use... The fuel cap has been welded on, too...  : Then I'll just drive the truck into the sea!: You can't! You don't even have a driver's license! : A-Are you seriously gonna stop me!? I thought your family was all about breakin' the law!  : But even that's impossible... There's a chain wrapped around the wheel...: If we can't disarm the bombs, stall for time, or move the truck... : There's nothing we can do...! : ... : Hey...check it out.: ...Huh?: There's some kind of machine on top of that metal box Kazuichi mentioned.: Hm? The machine on top of the box...?  : Oh...this... This looks like...a card reader.: A card reader...?: Maybe...we can disarm the bomb if we swipe the key card... : ...What!?: Wait...that might be possible... Nagito wouldn't be able to disarm these bombs if he didn't leave some way of doing that, right...? : Maybe he never planned to disarm them from the start.  : No, I don't think that's it. Nagito is probably trying to make us do something here.: What do you mean...something? : Knowing Nagito, there's definitely some kind of theme to this...I think.: A theme...? : That bastard probably would do something messed up like that...: Then we gotta find that! : WE GOTTA FIND THAT! Nagito...is trying to make us do something here... If that's true...what's he trying to make us do this time?  : Off to the right, there's a lone laptop sitting on the conveyor belts. There's a laptop on top of the stopped conveyor belt... : This...wasn't here the last time I came here, right?: Hmm, it looks suspicious. It might be good if we examine it thoroughly.: Yeah, you're right...As soon as I touched the laptop, some kind of program began running all of a sudden... And almost immediately, a video started playing...    : "Why hello everyone. Great work... So you really found the bombs, huh? Believing in you was completely worth it."  : N-Nagito...!  : It looks like a video message from Nagito...: A video message...!? If he's got somethin' to say, he can say it to our faces! : Just hold on... For now, let's just watch this through to the end...: "Now then, now that you guys have found the bombs, all you need to do is stop it. To tell you the truth, it's actually not that hard to do. You see, there's a card reader on top of the metal box. As long as you scan an e-Handbook, it will disarm the bombs." : All right, if that's the case then just leave it to me!: "However...!": "It won't work with just any student handbook. If you want to disarm that bomb, you have to use the traitor's student handbook.": "To be honest...I found out who the traitor was after secretly monitoring everyone's activity... But...I was a little annoyed that they never came forward. So if things stay this way...it'll look like I lost, right? That's why I was thinking I should have another battle.": "So this is going to be your last chance, traitor... What are you going to do? Everyone's life depends on you... Whether or not you save them is up to you. Now then, I wonder how this is going to end? Will the traitor's identity finally be revealed?"And with that...the video ended. : The traitor's...student handbook...? : S-So that's it... This was also a trap...to weed out the traitor...: Is...there seriously a traitor? If there is, they should've come forward already. I mean...their life is in danger too, you know?: That's true...but... : Stop whinin' and complainin'! We should do it one at a time!: D-Don't be stupid... What if someone besides the traitor uses their handbook...? : It's really stupid to be fighting over something like this.And so, with an annoyed expression on her face, Chiaki walked over to the bombs without saying a word...  ...took her handbook out of her pocket...  : Huh?...and without hesitating, swiped the card reader. *Bzzzz!*   : Looks like...it was wrong.: Who's next?  : Wh-What are you doing!? If you make a mistake, the bombs might blow up!: ...: ...But they didn't. : That's just a fluke! Don't act so careless in a situation like this!: W-Well...I guess Chiaki's not the traitor. I don't think the traitor would've swiped their handbook right away like she did...  : ...So what are we gonna do? Who wants to try next?: L-Like I said, don't act so careless. Swiping the wrong card might be safe...: B-But only once...you know... : ...Hey, what happened?: N-Nothing...I might just be overthinking it, but...the engine somehow sounds...Just then, Kazuichi's face turned pale and he rushed over to the truck. And then, as he tilted his head toward the engine, he suddenly shouted...    : I-It's out of gaaaaaaas! : Wh-What did you say...!?: Huh? What's gonna happen if there's no gas?: I-I already told you! IT'S GONNA BLOW!: B-But isn't it too soon? I mean...there's still time until noon... : D-Did...Nagito miscalculate!?: M-Miscalculate?: Argh! If you're gonna set us up, at least get your calculations right, dammit!: A-At least Monokuma knows how to keep a schedule...! : Hey, can't we do anything about it? Is there...something we can do...!?: Yeah, there's only one thing we can do...!: What is it!? What do we have to do!?: ...Pray.: Wha!? Are you loving serious...!?: Th-Then...we should run! With those words, we started sprinting away. ♪ Music cuts out. ♪ ...And that's when it happened.   : It is all right! It is not a bomb!: ...Huh? All of a sudden...the inside of the factory began overflowing with dazzling light...   : Wh-What the hell is this...!?: Looks like they're...fireworks...: F-Fireworks...?While we stood there dumbfounded, the fireworks slowly decreased their intensity... And eventually...  : U-Um...this means...: I-IT WASN'T A BOOOOOOOMB!?: Wh-What the heck!? I mean, Nagito said...: So...it is just as I thought....As you thought?  : ...Hey everyone. Look over there. The laptop... It looks like it's playing another video.: ...Is it Nagito again? We immediately rushed over to the laptop.  : "So...? Were you surprised? Seriously...think about it. Do you really think there are enough bombs to blow up an entire island? Even if there were...a guy like me would never be able to use them." : Dammit...so it was all a bluff...!: Th-Then...what was that bomb he detonated at the hotel?: Nagito...went to the Octagon inside the Funhouse, right?: Is that...where he got that bomb?: But...it definitely wasn't strong enough to blow up an island... Nagito was lying about that... : Is he still watchin' us from somewhere? If he's not...then how did he time his message so perfectly...?: No...it looks like the video was set to play after the explosion by a wireless signal from the detonator... But...why did he have to use a video message? That's the one thing I don't get.: ...Let's think about that after we've watched the whole thing.: ...You're right.: "So how did it go? Did the traitor come forward? If I had to guess...well, I'd say they didn't right? So then, which is it? It'd make me very happy if you guys could tell me. I'll be at the warehouse next door waiting for your answer. From there, we'll compared our answers, and I'll let you know who the traitor really is.: See you later.  : ...The warehouse next door?  : That's where Nagito is!?: This time I'll make sure to beat the crap outta him! *leaves*: Then I'll deliver the final blow and smash his head in with a wrench! *leaves* : You bastards...what are you saying...?: You guys can just beat the poo poo out of him, because I'm the one who's gonna loving kill him! *leaves*  : You guys...you've totally flipped your lids...: Now's not the time to be calm! We need to stop them! : ...You are right. Let us make haste! *leaves*  I didn't expect the bomb to just be a bunch of fireworks... All the fireworks in the bed of the truck have been reduced to soot. But...why did Nagito do something so messed up?

It was a fluke! Because I'm certain he's got something even worse planned. And points to Nagito for making the fluke sound believable. Chiaki has nerves of steel and is my favourite character.

That was actually a pretty clever design - not a dead man's switch, but a dead engine switch. And it also explains away the potential absurdity of "enough bombs to blow up the island" being hand-portable.

This is the theory I've been going with, since it seems the traitor wold have been working with Monomi before Monokuma derailed everything. If this is the case, Chiaki would be the best fit. She's the normal seeming one that doesn't draw attention to herself, in addition to consistently being a positive and calming influence on everyone. (Hell, that might even explain why she was willing to go first to try and disarm the bomb, if she thought she was getting found out either way.) Of course my theories are pretty consistently wrong in these games so who knows.

Does Nagito like listening to this depressing crap?: No, I'm not talkin' about the music...And as if on cue, it suddenly started.  ...Huh? : I-It's on fire!A fearsome blaze suddenly began dancing inside the dark warehouse, like fiery wings spreading before us. : Whoa!? Wh-What's going on!? : F-For now, we must extinguish these flames! Let us hurry and put them out!  : B-But how are we supposed to put this fire out? : There should be fire extinguishing supplies inside the factory break room.

It looks like there's some kind of liquid inside them...: ...You found it! Those are fire grenades!: ...Fire grenades?: ...They're basic fire extinguishing goods. When you throw them at a fire, the container breaks and the chemical inside puts out the fire.: But...this is strange. The last time I peeked inside this place, I recall seeing other fire extinguishing supplies too...: This should be plenty!

We should throw the grenades from the door at the same time.: Looks like the curtain in the back is burning up. I just have to aim for that, right?: All right, let's go!

Ahead! *leaves*: ... : Is...Nagito inside? : He said he was in his video message... But he probably escaped by now...: There was so much fire and smoke. Tch... And I thought I'd finally get to beat the crap outta him this time!: Well...why don't we go inside and see how it's doing?: ... : ...Hajime? What happened?: W-Well...nothing happened, but... I don't know why... My heart...is racing... It won't settle down... I'm scared... As if an intense malice is about to stab me... Stab me...through my whole body... And I can't even budge... It feels like everything was too late... : ...Why...do I feel this anxious?   : Hajime...you go first... I, um, you know...need to tie my shoes...  : Well, we should go inside for now. We need to find out what caused the fire.  : Nagito probably started it anyway...: Dammit... The next time I see him, I'll beat the crap outta him.   : I do not believe there was anything inside the warehouse that could start a fire... So why did the warehouse catch fire?  : Nagito said he'd be waiting for us in the warehouse...: By now, he's probably escaped...: But there's only one entrance to this warehouse, you know? Did you see him leaving?: No...I didn't... But he might've escaped while we left to get the fire grenades... In fact, he might've been gone before the fire even happened... : ...: That...might be true, but...Chiaki...does she feel the same anxiety I'm feeling?   : ...Anyway, let's go inside...  A charred odor permeated throughout the warehouse, and the air was so heavy that it was hard to breathe. The moment I set foot inside the warehouse, a mixture of bewilderment, anxiety, and fear overtook me at once.   : Hm... Something smells...: ...It's not me!: Ah, I am terribly sorry!: Huh, Miss Sonia!? Say it ain't so!: No, not that... It's like...a smell I've never smelled before. : Well, it makes sense that there are strange smells when a bunch of different things were burned... : Hey everyone... Did you know about that curtain?: You mean the curtain that was on fire, right? What do you mean, "know"?: I didn't notice it until the curtain was burning but...there's space on the other side of it, too. When I looked where Chiaki was pointing... There was still space beyond the burned, tattered curtain.   : That smell was Miss Sonia...? Seriously? I guess princesses...you know...do that, too... My mind is blown...What are you, a child...?    : I see, so there was a space beyond the curtain. I had no idea.  : What a mess... : Well, I don't feel that sorry about it since the only things that got burned were Monokuma merch.  : I didn't notice it until the curtain was burning but...there's space on the other side of it, too.: ...: It might be better...if we check it out, right?  : I definitely smell something... What is this smell...?  I walked toward the burned, tattered curtain with slow, methodical steps... : ...I'd never experienced such an oppressive atmosphere before, and I couldn't help holding my breath. And then, on the other side of the curtain... I saw the true source of the intense malice that I had been feeling.  CLICK HERE FOR THE VIDEO            I...had no idea...what I was looking at... By the time I realized I was looking at the remains of Nagito Komaeda, the Ultimate Lucky Student... ...Time had already stopped.

And with that, we're gonna take a small break so I can finish up finals and have some time to write the next set of updates. I haven't had the time lately though I do have everything up to the trial recorded. Next update should go up within a week's time, hopefully earlier.

Fucker probably somehow arranged this so that the "traitor" is the guilty party. He is the type to give his life in the name of his cause after all.
I can have moments of... eccentricity and sometimes be quite curious about things. Please forgive me if I do something foolish or rude.
