Does Genocide Jack/Jill show up at all during school mode or is that the only I will have to replay chapters to get?

Somewhat related to the above question:

When is Genocider available for Free Time? I know there's one day she's out in Chapter 3, and I think one in Chapter 4? As far as I remember you need to complete Fukawa's events to get anything out of her, so I might have to plan ahead, since I don't have anything done with her so far and I'm at the start of Chapter 3.

I just went ahead and finished Toko's free times in school mode (from what I saw playing through just doing free times, Genocider doesn't show up) So I just went and did the Chapter 3 free times. Gencider only has three so if you have three good presents, you can knock it out in one re-go through chapter 3.

Yeah, that was my second guess. I was trying to think what characters would work well with the Adachi P4 voice.

Yeah that is what I have been using too using chrome's translation.

I have only finished Chapter 1 so far (Blame getting Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy at the same time for delaying starting this) but I really don't like the "Improved" Hangman's Gambit (Why do I have to spell out all of Under The Floor on Kind) or the PTA battles in this as much as I like the original HG and Machine Gun Battles in the first

Well if you look at what you've said, you have literally tried everything so you should just give up because it's not possible! Or you made a mistake and never actually tried theater bonus pize/ prize bonus. I mean I don't know which it was but you can't have tried all six combinations. The only things left are splitting that word in half and that can't be the answer.

It was Theater Bonus Prize. I did try all 6 combination and actually wrote them down as I tried them (it was actually second on my written list). What I think might have happen was I was just a second too slow on it and it must have counted as a miss even though the shot animation started. If this was the original Machine gun battle I have a truth bullet that covers it Monokuma's Account: A Monomi bag that was sold at the movie theater. It's a limited item because only one person can buy it. Apparently, you get another bag for free when you purchase it.

So I have now finished DR2. Some thoughts starting from the chapter the LP left off on mostly:

gently caress "Improved" Hangman's Gambit and PTA battles. I feel the originals of those from 1 were better. I did like Logic Dive and would have loved to do that more, minus some of the jumping from track to track over pits.

CH. 3: I was spoiled accidentally on Mikan being the killer as much as I didn't want it to be her. Though drat I never expect her to go that bat poo poo off the deep end after finding her out. I loved the voice work JYB had during the sleeping Mikan scenes. I can only imagine that Mikan was happy to kill Hiyoko considering how much Hiyoko kept insulting her. I felt the execution for Mikan was not thought out very well, and arm rocket with syringe starter? Not very impressive to me.

CH. 4: I loved Mechamaru and I wish they kept him around longer just so we could keep finding new features that Monokuma put into him. Was it ever explained why there was a Statue of Sakura in Grape House? I can see the connection to the big muscled characters both being killed in Chapter 4 of both games but that is about it. Not much else to say, it was a pretty ok chapter.

CH. 5: Ok this chapter I very harsh criticism for. Chiaki should not have been executed under previously established rules. Monokuma has said in both games that in the case of an accomplice, only the mastermind need to be found and executed. Chiaki may have thrown the grenade that killed him, but it was all still part of Nagito's plan that he set up. And before anyone says it Yes I know it is Monokuma and he will do what he wants but the next chapter even points out that he has to follow the rules set by world. I still call bullshit... and I really liked Chiaki

End Game: Giant Junko out of nowhere... yep I done. I didn't think Junko could be any crazier then she was but they proved me wrong. Also Necrophilia, even for Japan that has to be loving sick and creep as hell.

I found that collecting Monocoins was a lot easier this time around then it was in the last game mostly through the pets. I got the "Collect 999 Monocoins" trophy by the end of Chapter 5, I bought all the presents in the Monomono Yachine (Using the method of 1 coin at a time going down to the closest 100th until I got to around 95% repeat rate), by the end of chapter 5 I had also bought all available, events, movies and sounds and still had about 140 monocoins left I then raised two Monokumas and got back up to around 700 coins before I went to the ruins. It was also a lot easier to get both the white noise trophies in this one. It felt as if the difficulty of the trials was raised a bit in this as I remember there being a lot less white noise and bullet choice for kind mode in DR1 where as I could have something like 9 bullets in a trial in this one.

Now I need to go back and play Island mode to get those endings and collect the rest of the hope shards, read IF, and finish the Monomi mini game.

With respect to what you said about the tamogachi: you can get a monokuma? I got monomi. Monomi barely poops at all. 200 gold for flushing twice. What does a monokuma require maxed despair but somehow not dead going into the evolution?

from the danganronpa2084.wiki
Monokuma Hope:9-10 Despair: 6-9 Note: Will not die even if despair is 10
Prizes: 300 moncoins, Memory Notebook(?) (I think that is what was called in english), and a skill (Sorry I wasn't paying attention to what skill it was)


EDIT: I also forgot to mention, did anyone else have trouble with Vertical white noise using the Vita's rear touchpad? I could barely ever hit them no matter where or how hard I tapped the read pad.

Seriously.

I don't mind the "Not having anything uncovered" aspect of it, it was more of the going for the no damage trophy and having letters collide just slightly off screen when they spawned in that was really starting to get to me. I got to Under the Floo and then it happened to me again. After I got the trophy, I just said gently caress it and let them all collide in the rest of the trials.

Finished getting the platinum trophy in DR2 today. There is a trophy for getting all the equipment in the minigame. There are 60 pieces of equipment divided evenly between the 3 types so it takes awhile. However, I found that you can speed up the process by just quitting out of a stage when you get something new since drops are based on luck and which stage/difficulty you are playing.

It's usually faster to just kill a few enemies at the beginning of a level when they're all clumped up and just retry if you don't get a drop/new drop. The equipment you keep stays even if you quit out of a stage so there's no problem there. There are no boss specific drops or anything like that to worry about.

Overall this was a great followup to the original. Chapter 3 felt pretty weak but chapter 5 more than made up for it.

That might be faster, I am working on that trophy before doing the rest of island mode and I can't get get the last ribbon to drop (The Autumnal Hope Ribbon on Stage 5 or Secret)

EDIT: Of course it drops immediately after I post this.

I think they mean how certain flashbacks use the original pictures instead of the edited one with English text. It's an oversight if a minor one.

So someone's going to have to remind me why there's so many line-breaks and typos in the free-time events in the second game. I think I caught 5 unnecessary line-breaks in Byakuya's events alone.

Exactly that, but also when it flashes back to Twilight Syndrome screens during the trial. The text boxes are in Japanese.

I don't remember seeing Japanese text. I was looking on NISA's forum since a google search about this lead me to their site, it seems it might be a bug with using the Japanese audio over the English. Can anyone confirm they saw it playing the English audio?

It's cool that there's a bunch of untranslated Japanese text in the official English release of SDR2. It's really great that, during the Chapter 2 trial, whenever the game flashes back to Twilight Syndrome Murder Mystery, it just shows a screenshot of the Japanese version of the game, full of Japanese text. That's wonderful. Thanks

It's actually bug from playing with Japanese Audio. I remember this being brought up back when it was released. It should be in English if you use the English Dub.

I was switching back and forth between English and Japanese audio every chapter, and I only ever saw Japanese text on Japanese audio. I guess it might have been a coincidence, but I was very sure while playing that it came from being on Japanese audio.

Oh right and I also forgot to mention that the music in this game is all loving incredible. I'm surprised at how little songs they've reused from the first 2 games and at the very least those have been remixed quite a bit.

it might go up on itunes eventually since the other 2 are up there. They might wait since the song titles are usually spoilers.

Death Card Machine

Spend gold you've earned as well as rare tickets that can be found in the dungeon to draw character cards. There's 3 machines to draw from, one for each DR game. At first you'll basically only get Normal cards but the machines get upgraded for every 10 floors you've cleared in Monokuma's Test (once you step onto the next set of floors, ie 11/21/etc) to increase the chance for higher rarity cards. It's worth noting that you start off automatically having all the Normal cards for the V3 cast, so avoid drawing from that machine at first.

One correction I would make is that no, you don't start with the whole V3 cast. You start with about 5 of them

Mine were at least Shuichi, Kaito, Ryoma, Rantaro, and Gonta. Don;t know if it is the same for everyone though.

EDIT: MY BAD. apparently you do start with all of them, I just never realized you could scroll down. I could Have sworn the first time I did it that it would only let me pick from those five. I played it once and didn't really want to anymore after that.

We're now further out from the English release of DRv3 than the release of the first game in Japan was from its official localisation, and I can confirm that I am still mad about NISA's choices of key terminology. The one hangman gambit with schizo was just kind of a standout "excuse me what" moment on top of it.

And like, on the whole it's okay. But it's just the key words, the ones you hear over and over again with varying levels of drama and humour, that just, urgh, they're wrong. I'll die mad about it.

As I will keep harping on. Not only was it a poor choice, it is straight up WRONG just by definition
