My wife unexpectedly told me today that Nobuyo Oyama aka Monobear apparently is coming down with dementia :ohdear:

That's tragic. She's only what, 78? That's not that old as old people go. :smith:

At least she can still recognize her family, apparently.

It's funny, it's like the same amount of content as the last one and five bucks more.

Oh well it's really the only dangan ronpa merchant buy legit in the USA.

Didn't DR2 have some okay stuff with it's LE?

Though I distinctly recall hearing that the soundtrack with both DR1 and DR2's LE was pretty pathetic.

I'm tempted, though DR2 has me pretty turned off of the franchise, and what I hear about AE doesn't sound too good.

"Things are...disasterrific."
The soundtrack was better for 2, 1 had the game audio with the execution tracks, and the quality was not the best. 2 on the other hand is crisp, good quality and no direct ripping.

2 came with a lovely pair of sunglasses and a monocoin, and a nicer box. (And a sticker plus artbook but those are less worth mentioning.)

I preordered as soon as it went up, because I've also lost control of my life.

Objection! I object! That was... objectionable!



Taco Defender
The LE for 1 was so bad it kept me from buyiing the LE for 2(the sunglasses look okay, but I have no need for those). DR1 had a joke of an artbook and a joke of a soundtrack.

I wouldn't get AE's LE unless you really, really want the tie & eyepatch. The artbook still looks bad, and I doubt the soundtrack is worth an extra $24.

Yep. Holy poo poo indeed. I actually have been thinking for a while that Danganronpa would be amazing in VR, but I just decided to forget about it because I figured that such a project would be overly expensive to make for such a niche series. A tech demo is a nice halfway-point, but I would so, so kill to see the games truly remade top-to-bottom for VR.

So if you haven't seen the reports coming in from TGS, Danganronpa 3 was officially revealed and is coming to both the PSVita and PS4.

Maybe spoilers for DR:AE? It's hard to tell what's just Spike Chunsoft trolling the audience and what's not.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OrZxG2Io6A (Ignore the video saying PS4/PS3, that's a typo)



One translation of the title I've seen is New Danganronpa V3: Everyone's New Mutual Killing Academy. From the looks of it and the bits of translation I've seen, I think it's a new school with a new cast. No idea when it takes place in regards to the other games. I also have no clue what the hell's going on with the trial seat apparently being on hydraulics or the figure at the end of the trailer.

There might be some more details in a few days' time once TGS opens in full.

I KINDA DOUBT THAT!
I wonder how they will handle Monokuma in this game since Nobuyo Ōyama, his VA, has dementia...I don't think they they change his VA because from what I known it's very rare to do that in Japan.

And Monokuma is the mascot of Dangan Ronpa so I don't think they will not use him in this game either so I wonder how they will work with that.


Anyway, I can't wait for this, I'm really looking forward how they continue from the end of DR2 and use stuff from DRAE's ending. I have many theories but I will save that for another day.

Uh oh. Do I use Ariadne thread or Goho-M?

The video shows a bunch of Shirokumas and Kurokumas in the courtroom. I guess that they are just placeholders so that the real students aren't shown. The reason could be either they don't want to spoil the characters too early, or they haven't designed them yet.

Oh god yes. I admittedly got into the franchise later than most and both of the NA localizations were already out by the time I did, but regardless, here's hoping for a simultaneous translation like Zero Escape is doing so I won't have to wait that extra year or so.

That's something I love about DR: either the other Monokumas are there to cover up the students, or the game is legit going to be 100% all Monokumas all the time.

I'm wondering about this too. I really don't know where they would go with it. I did see some people theorizing it could be set a few years after DR2 and carry on from ending elements of Another Episode.

Specifically, Monaca still being alive at the end and carried off by Nagito before he ended up in DR2.

Yeah, I agree that this game will probably end up taking place several years after the end of DR2.

(Another Episode spoilers)
At least, long enough for the Super Elementary Students to age up to high school age. I'm expecting that some of them will show up here as high school students. Especially Monaka, who seems to be set up to be the new mastermind. Of course, for the people that played Another Episode, that twist seems to be a bit too easy, so I'm expecting some crazy twist involving her.

For instance, maybe she gets revealed early in the game and serves as a wild card like Nagito, with the implication that there's another mastermind behind the scenes. It'd be interesting to see how the students deal with someone who's fully given in to despair - they can't exactly kill her if they don't want another school trial.
