I haven't either, I'll probably get to it in the wait. Maybe replay all the trials if I have enough time.

DR was actually my first platinum ever.
Still waiting for NISA to take my damn money out of my account for the LE.
How long did it take you to beat the first?
Around 20-25 hours for the main game without doing any of the extra schoolmode stuff. I finished the game at 26:42 played
I have to wait till Tuesday, since I preordered from GS and didn't get the LE, but I still feel that way because every person getting this game increases the chance of more DR in the west in the future.

Not even a contest. I was initially drawn to her because of her design, but she turned out to have one of my favourite personalities from any game I've played. Largely regurgitating from the DR1 spoiler thread here:
- Favourite design / appearance from the game,- Morally bankrupt schemer who sees her former classmates as little more than expendable chips / pieces to be manipulated as she sees fit. I have an inherent fondness for the calculating sociopathic types, and she's one of the finest examples I've come across.
- Elusive history and personality, adding to her mystique as a character. Even having finished the game I'm still not entirely sure how much of what she said about her past was genuine.
- One of the few to successfully commit premeditated murder. The most villainous character outside of Junko and (arguably) Mukuro.
- Her performance during the chapter 3 trial was one of the game's highlights for me. Watching her facade crack, hurriedly repair itself and then gradually shatter into pieces was enthralling and partially compensated for the fact that I was effectively killing her.. Gothic lolita is the pinnacle of fashion.with or without her drills
Celeste ..is there even a contest ?
Yes there is ...
Actually i'll just listen to my master words :
Kigiri
yes master !
is only the best girl because celeste died.

NISA billed me, it says so in my bank statement, but on the NISA Store site it still says 'Pending Fulfillment'. I guess I'll probably be getting the LE late again like last time. I don't think it helps that I'm in Canada and there's a long weekend coming up.
EDIT: As soon as I posted this I got an emails with one being $5 credit and the actual payment received email. Welp.

I read up on the points and they expire after a year, so I guess if Another comes over before this time next year you could.

I do like that NISA gives you gift certificates for spending money on them.
I had enough gift codes from them that I manged to knock down the Danganronpa 2 LE's price to the price of the standard edition, lol
This... Probably says something about you, doesn't it?
you buy them /and/ unlock them, some are only available by completing report cards just like the last game

Looks like 22 hours, but that's from my Vita save after already having played the PSP version, so I knew what to do.
I was also taking my time to appreciate everything in 2. Talking to people that didn't need to be talked to, examining stuff multiple times, etc. That probably jacked up the time a bit.
Pretty sure it doesn't have any DLC as with the previous game, unless you count PSN avatars.

I doubt it.
ever17 sold about 1/3 of vlr from the psp port. combined with ps2 and xbox 360 sales (i'm missing dreamcast and pc sales), it still didn't amount to what vlr did in japan.
i really wish ever17 was a lot more popular.
Has Ever17 ever been translated? I would love to play it. There are so many Visual Novels I wish I could play

it was actually licensed and published in the us for the pc in 2005.

Woah 149$
. Has there been any word of such a game coming to steam? I love his writing in the Zero Escape series and would love to give this a try someday, but 149 is quite a bit of dough to shell out for it.Woah 149$
it's tough because i think the rights transferred to 5pb, and they seem to be kind of done promoting the series. the most recent releases for the infinity trilogy is available for pc download in japan under their brand name. unless they do something like remake the games for vita or even do a port of ever17 from the 360 version to vita, i think there's very little chance of us seeing it in an official capacity.
i think they would do well though, especially with the 999/vlr connection. it's just a matter of money and convincing 5pb/mages that it's worth a shot.
Real talk: Spike Chunsoft needs to pool its talent together for visual novels and create new projects mixing staff from both sides of the company. I mean, between them, their output, at bare minimum, has ties to things like Zero Escape, Dangan Ronpa, Syndrome, 428, Machi, Banshee's Last Cry/Night of the Sickle Weasel, and the Infinity series visual novels often regarded as some of the best of the best. That's not even getting into Spike's ties to Human Entertainment, who almost entirely did weird, story-based stuff.
I don't want them to stop making Dangan Ronpa, especially since Kodaka's mostly hit his stride with the second game and will only improve going forward. Still, I just can't help but notice that they're sitting on a lot of talent.

It's not really a game/genre that lends itself to DLC, you should be fine importing.

God, I feel so empty after beating this. I want to see more of this series and world. I'm sure Another Episode will make it over, but it can't come soon enough.
Didn't Kodaka say he can't imagine writing anything better after Another Episode? Hopefully he's just being modest since the guy is clearly talented.

Exactly how I feel. I think it will probably be like this for me for the rest of the year.
With the "also 3" thing in the AE trailer I'm sure we're getting a third Dangan Ronpa, lots of stuff left to explore after all.
He did? Do you happen to have a link?

Going through the first game right now and I'm pretty hooked.
Also I must say I love that song that plays each time Monokuma shows up.

What kind of spoiler tag in here revealed all of that? If you're referring to Zephyx, then he was just speculating about the killers not confirming them.
I already know the killers from looking up the soundtrack online.

Wow, who revealed all of that?
How did his speculation spoil something you already knew? I'm confused.
Because I already knew the killers, not the victim? My post isn't saying I learned all of those things from the one spoiler post. Edited it for clarification.

I just finished.
It's a great sequel overall, even though I initially felt it was going to teeter on being stale.
I don't think they can do another round of "killing game" though, if they continue, it'll need a new premise.
Quick question, I was only mildly entertain by Phoenix Wright, but I LOVE this. Should I look into 999/VLR?

JUNKO RETURNS WOO!! But now I had to see her die three times, heh.

YES YES YES
Well Daganronpa Another Episode is defiantly different.

I honestly think that the Zero Escape games and Danganronpa series are quite a bit different. Danganronpa is much more of a crazy emotional roller coaster ride, and Zero Escape is a bit more methodical in how its mystery pans out, though there are bursts of insanity as well.
I think they're both super quality, though (well, I'm playing through VLR at the moment and it's dragging quite a bit, but it's still good. I preferred 999's pacing by a lot).
