2h45 until the store closes for the day and still no pickup message...I guess that means I'll have to wait until tomorrow to get back on Jabberwock Island 
Well it's not the end of the world 'cause I have things to occupy myself with but that's a bummer.

First Impressions. They should have named this Danganronpa 2 Many Waifus edition. Seems like the majority of the class is female.
Heh, yea, definitely way more attractive females in this game than the first.

I'm going to wait until people have finished the game to get it, I want more opinions on it first.
I just finished the first one and didn't like the ending (everything else was great though), so I'm hoping the second will be better.

well, I mean, more in quantity. Forgive me!
Finished chapter 2 last night
Really disappointed with this chapter. The trial was really bad- did anyone actually think it was possible Hiyoko was the killer? The game beats you over the head with her when the simple explanation (she can't dress herself, wasn't covered in blood, and someone moved the body) is made clear to you in the middle of the investigation. The game only really gives you 2 possible candidates (Akane and Peko), and pretty much instantly gives you a reason why Akane wasn't the killer. This is the first time in either DR1 or 2 that I basically had the killer known before the trial even starts, even if getting the motive was a little interesting
Also, now that I actually understand how the mechanics work, I'm liking the new stuff in the trials. They really need better explanations and tutorials, because I'm pretty sure if I understood the mechanics, I would have liked case 1 a lot more than I did.

My LE still has not shipped from NIS America. I wonder what is going on.

It was really weird for me. Got an email saying it shipped on Tuesday and when I got home it was there.
I think I figured out Case 2, in the investigation phase now.
EDIT:
I'm guessing this has something to do with Fuyuhiko's sister, so replace the characters with the ones in the game and you get an idea of the case. Though Girl D and Girl E are switched in terms of who the victim is.
EDIT:
Well what do you know, just saw the envelope and the pics inside and the note.
I swear, Akane is pretty much Hina 2.0. I'm convinced they must be related in some form.
Akane is way less cute and a way more annoying, imo
This phase of Chapter 2's trial is really confusing the shit out of me.
EDIT: Akane just feels like Hina's older, deliquent sister. Asahina is way better.
I'm supposed to agree on what the 'unconventional' murder weapon is, but I don't have any idea. I thought it had to have something to do with 'bloodstains' (like the ones I swear are visible on the roses in the phase) or, y'know, the big honking metal bat in Girl E's Murder Photo, but the former doesn't work and the latter isn't even an option. :lol
At this point I'm just throwing shit at random shit to see what sticks, but I don't really have the patience for sticking it through. Anyone mind lending a hand?
The chapter is awesome, otherwise. I love how the (in-game) game is relating back to the case and their lost school memories. It's an incredibly intriguing premise, even if I'm a little terrified of who's going to be responsible. I was sad at Mahiru's death, but not like... devastated - I didn't talk to her a whole lot. I think I'd be alright if it were Saionji or Kuzuryu, but I think they're both too obviously responsible to be the actual murderer.
I have this terrifying suspicion that somehow Sonia is the killer since she arrived the latest of everyone for the swim meet and that wetsuit could have been hiding, like, blood spatter, and man, I really wanna be wrong. ._.

If I'm not wrong, it should be
Swimsuit->shoot it towards the thing that mentions gravel
Haha, I'm just at that part in the Ch 2 Trial and was trying to figure out what to shoot. I knew it was the
Loved the bit that Ibuki says a bit after.
EDIT:
swimsuit.

EDIT:
I'm starting to think Peko is the murderer and she is the justice person. Or Sonia has been hiding her athletic abilities.
OMG, I get it, it totally is Sonia with how she just happened to time the beach party when they were planning a meeting. She also is fascinated by serial killers. Oh well, that's a shame.

I finally received my CE this morning. It came with a notice that the outer cases for the coins came to their warehouse damaged, and that they will be shipping out replacement cases to those that have the letter, as they are on the list to receive them. The coin itself is fine.Now to return the CE copy of the game to GS!
Also #teamasahina all the way.

Truthbombs all over this post.
This guy gets it
Pointing!
i found Ibuki kinda irritating, tbh.
Rambling thoughts about the game, as I'm now at Chapter 6. This means, naturally, SPOILERS of the huge variety for the whole game up to Chapter 6 start.
That's really all I have right now. Time to play through Chapter 6 and finish this beast.
So, I am really, really loving this game. Everything about this game is better than the first (well, almost everything; Logic Dives during trials can go fuck themselves, thank you very much). The characters, for the most part, I liked... However, a couple rubbed me the wrong way; namely, Nagito, Teruteru and Hiyoko, so I felt no sadness when they finally bit the dust.
Speaking of Nagito, what the fuck was his deal? The person he hates the most is Junko, right? Why did he have her hand? Who was he talking to on the boat? That whole chapter 0 thing made no sense and made my head hurt.
Also, what the fuck was that Monokuma bomb thing that went off?
We play as Hajime... Hajime starts to... I guess glitch out, sees dead people, see graphics and pixels fall away, see things off-color... If this all turns out to be some simulation, or Hajime turns out to be some android type bullshit, I'ma flip tables.
Finally... 11037? Chunsoft, you crafty bastards.

I get that's a thing for girls in Japan, but in English you just sound insane.
Which is funny because they toned it down severely in the localization. She did it way more in Japanese.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
I just finished Chapter 1 last night and I KEPT MAKING THAT MISTAKE TOO! XD
Also, Fuck Nagito. Srsly.

Yeah, iirc she did it nearly every time she referred to herself. (2 examples from prologue, as to not dive into spoiler territory)

Some of us are still waiting on our game to arrive
I'm lagging much farther than all of you Just finished chapter 5 trial
what a load of bull
how in the hell did that not count as suicide, Nagito as the killer
I understand it was all to out the traitor and I know Monokuma doesnt always play fair (DGR1) but they played it completely straight unlike the other time.
I'm actually upset that someone else had to die because of that logic
and with all those lines between monomi and Chiaki I was half
expecting to see her tossed into lava and give a thumbs up

I'm trying to do 1 full chapter a day. The first 2 have each taken about 5 hours each including the trial

I haven't really been giving this game enough of my time yet
I only finished free time of chapter 1.
I'm only at the daily life part of Chapter 2. Part of me wants to go on a nice, long marathon because I wanna see everything the game has to offer & be able to read spoilers, but I know I should limit myself to lengthen the experience with this game.
...well that, & I've got college to do.

Holy crap I discovered one killer by myself (before the class trial), I never felt so proud of myself.
It was obvious, though.
Haven't got much time to play these days but made it to chapter 2. The trials are more interesting so far but I'm not liking the minigames this time around. It seems they've made them annoying on purpose. The one where you slash word is terribly irritating.
They also increased the creepy pervert stuff up a notch in this one, unfortunately.
