Just announced in the PS Japan Conference.

 

[mrmickfran]

No way this was making 2016.

The protag is a chick? YESSSSS

 

[Burbeting]

Looks like Danganronpa. It's weird they still aren't showing almost any footage, though.

Female Protagonist would be pretty fun. She looks like Sonia from DR2.

So the robot dude isn't the MC

had us going there

No way this was making 2016.

January 2017 isn't that far off, though. Was expecting a more significant delay.

A female protagonist is a cool thing to see, after Komaru. Don't know what to think of the look of that cast just yet. Honestly, I would have liked it if they went with full 3D models + 2D portraits like Another Episode, but I suppose I'm fine with that distinctive 2D style sticking around.

So the robot dude isn't the MC

When Kodaka said something like "who knows if he's the main protagonist!" last year, I immediately knew he wasn't.

 

[PranooY]

Looks great, I'm super hyped for this.
Not feeling the new Monokuma Japanese VA, But it can't be helped. So don't mind it much.

 

[Soriku]

Nice to the see the full new cast.

 

[Sandfox]

I'm not really feeling the MC design, but it will probably grow on me.

 

[DNAbro]

Give it to me.

I hadn't read that

but If I did I would have guessed he would have been killed first then playable character would have switched

 

[wbEMX]

2018 for european players, I suppose. Although... this also comes out on PS4, afaik. So an earlier US release would be fine, too.

Eww no. After seeing how VLR looked after 999, I'll stick with 2D art.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Eww no. After seeing how VLR looked after 999, I'll stick with 2D art.

But how about DR:AE itself?

 

[DNAbro]

Eww no. After seeing how VLR looked after 999, I'll stick with 2D art.

I like VLR's look over 999 tbh

 

[lazyproblems]

Give it to me ASAP. Please NISA.

Cast looks cool, and I like that they're going with a female protag this time around.

 

[mrmickfran]

But how about DR:AE itself?

I actually wasn't a fan of AE's models either.

I like VLR's look over 999 tbh

Gross, I despised the 3D models in VLR. And don't get me stated on ZTD.

Looks really great. Hopefuly they won't take too long for the localization.

Hopefully Nisa has found a new distributor :/

 

[Mendrox]

Looks really great. Hopefuly they won't take too long for the localization.

 

[Jigorath]

Hyped.

Female protagonist is neat.

 

[Soriku]

So how long will this take to be localized?

 

[lazyproblems]

So how long will this take to be localized?

Another Episode took a year. Hopefully sooner than that, but it's about what I expect. :/

 

[Nachos]

Neat, the main girl's voiced by the dub voice for Anna from Frozen. Doesn't look like she's done any games or anime before, though. Looks like the Japan side's still continuing the trend of using the highest-profile voice actors.

 

[ULTROS!]

I actually wasn't a fan of AE's models either.

ZTD's 3D makes AE's 3D look like Final Fantasy graphics lol.

 

[DNAbro]

So how long will this take to be localized?

Considering DR is a moneymaker I'm assuming ASAP

 

[Trigonometrize.]

I really like Monokuma's new voice even though I'm sad to see Doraemon go.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

I really like Monokuma's new voice even though I'm sad to see Doraemon go.

Yeah its sad but she has dementia. It's understandable.

 

[Crazy Diamond]

The awful anime series is a stepping stone for the game, like Nagito is to hope! The cast looks in line with what I expect from a Danganronpa game. I'm guessing that the last character shown ahead of the protagonist is this game's equivalent of Kirigiri or Chiaki, but who knows. Nice tease nonetheless.

 

[mrmickfran]

 

[Hours Left]

Awesome. Hope the western confirmation is soon as well.

 

[themagicalkitsune]

So the robot dude isn't the MC

I really hoped robonagito wasn't the MC and everyone told me he was because of the ahoge.

 

[ULTROS!]

I want to know their Ultimates

gonna die in the 1st chapter

 

[mrmickfran]

Almost all of the guys look so out of place lol

 

[GSR]

gonna die in the 1st chapter

I half-expect Kaede to die in chapter 1 or 2 and then the perspective to shift to robo-boy or someone, honestly. It feels like something Kodaka would do sooner or later.

 

[CielTynave]

This bit made the whole conference worth it for me lol.

It'd be kind of funny if the characters they showed before just ended up being relatively unimportant in the long run..

 

[CommandThrower]

The cast looks pretty neat based on what little we saw in the trailer.


I'll be eagerly anticipating a western release date. I need me a new non-stop debate!

 

[Tinfoilhatsron]

So late 2017? Bummer. I want a WW release dammit!

I thinkvthe new FProtag is cool and also looks like every other boring as fuck MC. And then twist.

 

[mrmickfran]

Just realized she has the ahoge lol

 

[bobawesome]

Oh thank god the robot guy isn't the main character.

 

[MulderYuffie]

can't wait for it getting localized.

 

[T-Rex.]

Setting looks cool, and hopefully it won't take too long to get localised. I have to say I'm pretty much done with the hope/despair angle though and I hope it's something completely new.

 

[Maintenance]

Hopefully it is good like 1&2 and not trash like UDG.

 

[Red Frost]

There is no chance short horned guy is surviving to the end.

 

[Jintor]

All in for FemC

 

[Ludger Kresnik]

I'm so in for a girl protag. She's a cute blonde too, that's always a plus. 👌👌👌

 

[DrunkShogun]

Good they went female mc but hope they don't write a cliche character. My main curiosity is where this game falls in the timeline of the franchise.

 

[ULTROS!]

I bet the long bearded general looking guy will also die soon.

 

[blankempathy]

Beard guys beard looks fake. Hes clearly the mastermind.

 

[InternHertz]

I would've liked to pick this up for Vita for the portability, but in that case I would need the physical version and this would result in waiting for it to arrive...
So I'll buy it on the SEN Store for PS4 instead and once it releases in English, I'll take it for Vita, and PC if/when that version comes out.

 

[GSR]

Official trailer upload.

 

[Red Frost]

It doesn't if Kodaka is to be believed. It's a new universe with new continuity.

Or maybe it's just a soft reboot that takes place hundreds of years later, who knows.
