One of the characters has an ahoge under his hat.

wow i can't believe v3 will have out run, space harrier, and ddr solo

eat your heart out yakuza

 

[tookhster]

I didn't realize until the direct feed trailer but Monokuma's theme is slightly remixed. As much as I love the debate themes and other trial music, I think they should use entirely new tracks this time instead of reusing ones from the first two games.

Yeah I noticed that, too. It sounds dope. I want to hear completely new tracks especially during the trials.

C'mon Spike Chunsoft, don't make us wait a year for this. Trying to avoid spoilers that long will be the worst. With how much the series has grown and sold over here in the US they've gotta take a hint and try to speed up the localization.

 

[McMoneyman]

Hopefully it being on PS4 a more mainstream console could possibly speed up the localization.

 

[Swamped]

The main protagonist looks sweet! Cannot wait for this game. Hope the English isn't too far behind.

 

[mrmickfran]

I could see localization going much faster this time around.

Danganronpa is actually a thing in NA now. Funimation started dubbing DR3 almost instantly after its release in Japan.

 

[Kalor]

That looks like an interesting cast of characters. The exploration footage looks pretty good.

 

[PK Gaming]

Haha, remember when Kodaka basically brushed off the possibility of having a female protag?

Schreier: Would you ever make a Danganronpa game with a female main character?

Kazutaka: Honestly, I don't really think much of the gender of the character when I'm making the main characters.

Man what a wily, crafty guy. I bet he already had Kaede in mind by then but was messing with him.

Pretty cool overall. I hope Kaede's great.

 

[redhood56]

The trailer looks amazing I can't wait to play it. They need to bring back RIPPED MONOKUMA though.

 

[Dangansona]

Damn it just occured to me this is of course the JP release date.

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.

Awful Anime?

 

[Funyarinpa]

Awful Anime?

Danganronpa 3.

 

[Rich!]

Danganronpa 3.

danganronpa 3 is great.

anyhow, just watched the trailer. ooooh my god that looks amazing. Can't wait. Gonna be a near-year of despair waiting for the localisation and avoiding spoilers though. sigh

 

[Auxiliary Bro]

Not really feeling these designs right now outside of maybe the new protag, but the new tidbits of music are sounding so good.

 

[Gradon]

I know all of my friends will spoil this when it releases in Japan. So I unfollowed them all on Facebook - I hope NISA announce a localisation ASAP. I can't wait a year after the Japanese release for this.

 

[Ludger Kresnik]

Oh nice, trailer already spoiled a death

Spoiler

Blonde dude next to the MC

I've watched the trailer several times and I keep totally missing this. Where could one see it?

 

[michaelius]

Looks great New MC looks very promising.

 

[RampagingSoul]

Looks like Danganronpa alright. I'm stoked for the release whenever it comes out! The only game so far I've felt iffy about is Despair Girls and that's just how boring and monotonous the game play got. I know it was a spin-off, but it still provided some story and characters that were important to the overall story.

 

[Lusankya]

I've watched the trailer several times and I keep totally missing this. Where could one see it?

There probably is a missing seat during the trial section.

 

[Weebos]

Nice to see a female protagonist, this is supposedly a "new universe" or something, right?

Or did I make that up?

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

y'all forgot about based Komaru

 

[Son Of Sparda]

Excited about FeMC but am I the only one who thinks she looks reaaaally familiar? I see a lot of Chiaki from Danganronpa 2 in her.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

That's just how the Danganronpa art style looks. A lot of people have the same eyes and face so they have outlandish physical features or outfits like Sakura, Ibuki and Gundham

 

[Jameson]

I'm glad the ultimate cyborg isn't the MC.

 

[Puruzi]

MC is Hopelessly average high school girl + Ultimate little sister

Yeah, I guess that must be it. I still remember playing Danganronpa 2 and instantly thinking that Akane has to be the Aoi from the first game

Spoiler

especially since I thought she had probably tried to become more like Sakura after the events of original Danganronpa.

Also, since this is the newest Danganronpa thread, I might as well just ask this here. How are you supposed to watch the two new animes? Should you watch them alongside each other? Or are you supposed to watch one of them first?

 

[mrmickfran]

Danganronpa 3.

Only Future Side

Despair side is great.

Alternating.

Future 1 -> Despair 1 -> Future 2 -> Despair 2

Only Future Side

Despair side is great.

Im like, the opposite on that

 

[Drago]

So excited. Really hope it makes Fall 2017 in the west, or even earlier if that's at all possible. The wait is gonna be painful.

Future 1 first, then Despair 1, then Future 2, Despair 2, and so on.

 

[OceanicAir]

Can't wait to see how the improve the Hangman's Gambit ;_;

 

[johny_dmonic]

Is this a complete reboot and not on the same timelime as that of the first 2 games? Or just a different story after the events of the first 2 games?

 

[mrmickfran]

Im like, the opposite on that

Future side is boring af.

They just put senseless fights in just to fill up the 24 minutes.

Despair side actually has an intriguing arc and great characters.

Though I'm only on episode 5 for both.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

Thanks guys.

 

[Azure Phoenix]

Sorry to anyone who likes the girl wearing the witch outfit, she's my favourite of the lot and the characters I like always die.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Its a soft reboot. We can assume the DR1-3 plotline happened. Don't trust Kodaka to not have some kind of twist where its related.

 

[Already Torn]

So when are we expecting an English release considering one hasn't even been announced yet?

 

[ThatsMytrunks]

I really hope someone does a decent sub of this trailer. Curious to know what the fuck's going on in it.

 

[PaulBizkit]

Sorry to anyone who likes the girl wearing the witch outfit, she's my favourite of the lot and the characters I like always die.

I love how there are always 2 or 3 characters that are dressed like they are cosplaying

Btw the only characters that I liked from the beginning that DID survive were Aoi and Chiaki... and what's with always having one dumbass character surviving?? Hagakure will be remembered as "the wasted spot"

 

[Trigonometrize.]

Future side is boring af.

At episodes 10 and 9, they both have a LOT of peoblems.

That doesn't fill me with confidence :/

 

[Bladenic]

NIS plz hurry with localization.

 

[h0tp0ck3t]

Can't wait to see how the improve the Hangman's Gambit ;_;

By removing it all together? :fingers crossed:

 

[Funyarinpa]

Eh, for me it's more important that the protagonist has such a good design than the fact that she's female. I love it either way (and I would have no problems with the cyberdude being the protag either).

 

[Rich!]

female protag is hardly anything new for danganronpa. we had two in AE.

I'm just dreading the next year. wont be able to look at anything danganronpa related online until the UK release. complete blackout. gonna be hard.

You should probably just go ahead and delete your YouTube, search, and internet history now unless you want every recommendation on the face of the planet to be death/execution videos titled like orenronen's from the original Something Awful LP.

 

[lazyproblems]

Subbed trailer.

The absolute worst part of these waits. YouTube is particularly awful with their spoilery recommendations. =/

I remember one of DR2's twists being ruined for me because of YouTube's recommendations. I need YouTube to forget I like Danganronpa.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

It's a very different thing when we're talking about a main game. We've had female protagonists in Persona, but it would still be a huge deal if Persona 6 had a female protagonist, for example.

Good thing Danganronpa's OST is on Spotify now. Can't risk anything.

It's easy to forget about one who is so dull, so common, so boring.

All three of them too! They have been for about a year now on the uk Spotify at least.
