Never stop livin'.

My CE was stuck in Texas-limbo for a couple of days as well, but it just came today. So don't give into despair! Not the greatest extras, but it was only $10 more and I wanted to show support for the game to get the 2nd one localized. It's still weird to actually be playing it after following the LP for a year+.

I'm liking the English voices so far. I thought Yamada sounded a little too similar to Monobear at first, but I was won over after Yamada's first "EEEEEEEEEEEEEE~!" I think the standout voices so far are Ishimaru and Mondo. Maybe I just like shouting?

Oh, so it's not just me. I thought mine had vanished off the face of the Earth on the voyage from Texas to Canada, well at least now I can just wait for the package with some peace of mind.

From what I've heard of the VA work, it just makes the trailer even more inexplicable. Spoilers and some of the worse voice acting in the game. :iiam:

Bought this game because of this thread and at first was a little dissapointed before falling in absolute love with the game- however I have found one thing that shows the game to hate me.

Any character I go and try to become close with is doomed to die, right after I become close to them.

I do not know if this is because of pure luck, since the game killing off those you take interest in would mean a lot of art and voice acting never seen, but it really does drive home the game's message to me.

I must now only bond with those I hate...

It's bad luck that characters you tried to get close to happened to die. There are no branching paths in this game that lead to different victims/murderers or anything like that.

It is interesting however that that was how the game was originally going to be, though.

edit: Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair coming to PlayStation Vita according to the livetweeting NISA event guy

Let's ride together.
I suppose pre-orders of the original must have blown some estimates out of the water for the sequel to get picked up for rapid release.

It also presents something of a headache for the Let's Play mods. Part of me wants to see the let's play finish, part of me wants to see the utter devastation on Tumblr that a mod-enforced early stop to proceedings (or better yet, orenronen telling everyone to buy the game in six month's time to see how it ends) would cause. :getin:

[A third part of me also realise that second scenario would result in whoever calls time get a metric tonne of death threats]

I have no idea how it would be a problem. The game has been out for like, two years.


I think this will be my third copy of that game. :11tea:

I hope Dangan Ronpa 3 gets announced for a JP/NA release at the same time so I can just get one.

That's actually very soon, but if Kyle Hebert being Kazuichi has proven anything they've probably been doing auditions for voice acting for about a month or so now, so they might have started already. Nice to see it's getting release for sure though and I can imagine that when the pre-orders on SDR2 do well we will finally get DR3.

Sooner than I thought! I figured we'd have to wait a year before a release.

As soon as preorders open up, I'm gonna go for it.
I didn't read the LP past the first murder, so it'll be a nearly fully blind experience.

If he was already (mistakenly) posting about the game coming out that means they likely already have the voice recording done because otherwise it doesn't make much sense for him to assume the game was coming out when he hasn't done voicework for it yet.

Question about filling our report cards. I just finished Chapter 1's trial.

I got the gold star for finishing up Sayaka. If I go back and replay the chapter, can I get Leon and Junko's gold stars? If so, do I need to play through the -entire- chapter, including the trial? Or is it a Persona/S.Link type situation where if I wanna get everything, I need to follow a guide to the T?

Also, i just want a list of Hifumi's references. He's already referenced Dragon Ball and someone named Meena.

It's not possible to get Leon, Junko, and Sakaya all in one run of the chapter, you only have three (four?) free time events in Chapter 1.

You can go back and fill out the report cards for people that have died, yes. Doing this is actually necessary in those cases because there aren't enough periods in the chapter for you to get all of their scenes in one playthrough. So far as I understand it, you do need to replay the entire trial, though the game does have certain features in place to make these kinds of things easier (namely the fact that once you beat the game, the game unlocks a mode where you can just hang with your pals as much as you want.)

Do not replay chapters. When you finish the game you get a much easier way to do Free Time.

It's a significant room that important stuff is currently happening in.

No they will not, just inspect everything and talk to everyone in those rooms and the plot should move forward on its own.

Some details I think are easy to forget/not know to do, spoilered for obvious reasons:

-Talking to Yasuhiro in the gym about a piece of evidence.
-Talking to Chihiro about a piece of evidence.
-Going into Sayaka's room and checking the trash can.
-Inspecting the playback devices in the A/V room once you have the right evidence.

I have inspected the room where the murder took place and found everything I needed in there (I assume, since it wouldn't let me leave before that), got the DVD and viewed it, checked out the trash room and found who the broken crystal ball belongs to and talked to everyone I can. The exclamation points are over the gym, a/v room, cafeteria and sayaka's room.

You need to talk to Chihiro and Yasuhiro in the gym then.

Giving Celeste that lovely French accent was one of the best decisions they made for the dub. It makes that breakdown in the trial oh so satisfying and actually adds another layer to Celeste being a boring Japanese kid trying to live out her romantic fantasies. I think she's voiced by Tara Platt, the accent hides her voice very well surprisingly enough.

Oh man, NISA, I hope you make a limited edition for DR2 as well. I'll be miffed if I have this limited edition DR1 and there's only a regular edition DR2 to stack next to it.
