It happened to me between chapter 4 & 5. Now I can't play the game anymore.
Shit, my last save was between chapter 4 and 5. I really hope I avoid the bug.
Honestly, it seems perfectly in line with the issues the other kids have and is handled as such.
*Chapter 1 spoilers*
Masaru's alcoholic father physically and verbally abused him, driven to steal to supplement his father's alcoholism. He was terrified of disappointing his father, of being abandoned. In the game, Masaru kills a massive pile of "challengers" to prove his strength, and beats the shit out of his own arm to show he doesn't tolerate his own weakness. He's broken due to never being able to show weakness, it made him into a mass murderer. He killed his parents with no regrets.
*Chapter 2 spoilers*
Jataro was also abused by his parents, told that he shouldn't exist. His mother puts a mask on him to hide his good looks, but he rationalizes it as being so ugly that his face shouldn't be seen. He has to create a personal "safe place" in his mind to deal with the constant abuse, not just from his parents, but from his peers as well. He comes to rationalize that it's easier to be hated than to be loved. Jataro's interest in art and distance between himself and others has pushed him to become fascinated with dioramas, and he talks about finding dead bodies, and shows them with their limbs bolted through and pinned to crosses. He's also broken, turned into a sociopathic mass murderer. He also killed his parents with no regrets.
*Chapter 3 spoilers*
Kotoko's sexually abused from an early age for the sake of her acting career, her mother also prostituting herself. She wants a normal life, not that of an actress, but she puts up with the abuse for the sake of her mother's happiness. Her father cheated on her mother too, using the money Kotoko earned from acting. Her concept of sexuality is warped, distorted by the constant abuse. She doesn't understand that someone of her age shouldn't be sexually suggestive, she only has what she experienced with the producers she was prostituted too. The tickle machine is a sign of this. The clothes ripping is a sign of this. They represent the trauma Kotoko experienced. She's broken too, turned into a sexually abusive mass murderer. She also killed her parents with no regrets.
I'll stop there character-wise. Each of the children experienced their own unique trauma, and it effected them all very deeply, permeating their entire personalities. Unless your feelings come from a more personal experience, Chapter
3
Ah thanks dude. Been looking on the Web store and couldn't find it but was there on Vita store. Awesome! Now I need to make some space... (and I even have a 64GB card...ha ha.)
EDIT: Pretty annoying. They really hid the option to change language and you can't do it on a pre existing save. Only when you start a new game there's an option at the bottom to press triangle to set up an English or japanese voice. As I say I think I am fine with the English dub on this one however. Doesn't seem as bad as the others were. At least to me anyway. May beat it in English then japanese after at some point...
There are two major differences between the way that child is handled handled compared to the other kids.
1. You (the player) never abuse the other kids. With Kotoko you have to strip her down against her will.
2. I never got the feeling the panty shots whenever she fell down were to represent the truma they experienced. To me they just felt like creepy fan service.

That really sucked. You just keep loading the save and nothing happens.
Started this today, and the sting of the box being in shabby condition (thanks game.co.uk >_<) went off after playing, still very much has the Danganronpa spirit intact even with the change in genre.
I'm not too far in but my only concern is I'm also not fond of the kids...Komaru and Toko are a fun duo though that play off each other well.

15hrs in, just got to the last Chapter. I'm taking my sweet ass time looking for the collectible pages, posters and books. Some of the best moments in the game came out of me picking one up and having a small funny talk with Toko. I haven't finished the game yet, but it's safe to say this is my favourite Danganronpa so far.

I'd REALLY want to start this game but I'm balls deep with MGSV right now and with my Vita I have Steins Gate going. Grrr
Everybody should read Zero. It adds to the experience.
My AE copy will arrive tomorrow.
Maybe I missed something because I just passed that scene and that's not what happened at all.
You can see that convo here
She seems pretty uncomfortable being near him now. Which makes a lot of sense considering what she just went through.
The best I can honestly tell you is that she's being attacked all over with very sharp scissors. So in a way you aren't forcefullystripping her as you put it. Her clothes are turning into tattered rags. That's the only way I can think of it making sense.
Especially considering that's what happens when you fight Genocide Jack. If you get attacked too much, Komaru's clothes will be torn off as well. Granted sure this really isn't justifiable. But, it at that point, if felt as if if I have to fight another human (I'm near the end of chapter 4 I feel) their clothes would come off too.

2 first, then this. It works better that way.
There's another scene later.
Fair enough. Then. I'll keep playing then. I really don't like this guy as it is and I really don't want more reasons to not like him.

It happened to me inbetween Chapters 1 and 2. It sounds like a good idea to just avoid saving and quitting between two chapters.
Holy crap, checked USPS, it said it was delivered today with another package I was waiting for, I go upstairs & turns out they're waiting for me on the stairs!!
.............& then I open the CD case to find out the top part of the case cover is broken. Guess I'll find a spare case, but damn, WTF. First time I gotten a damaged LE from NISA.
Anyways, here's the track listing:

So my amazon order with free super saver shipping has been preparing to ship for four days and still hasn't yet.
I know its free shipping, but it usually doesn't take this long. Getting nervous. I want the game damnit!
Estimate is 7th-11th so I guess it can still come but its cutting it close.
I fear how crazy I'll go waiting for Corpse Party: Blood Drive. Its the end of the trilogy so I'll be really waiting that out.

I thought the same thing, definitely give it a little more, it gets better. As for the voices, they do too but if you wanted to try a change of pace try the Japanese voice track.

I'm playing the game with the Japanese VAs and the children are fine.
I love this game btw, it's great so far... even if I've been ignoring it a bit because of MGSV.

My second run is going to be with Japanese VA, right now I'm going through with dub. Monaca, Nagisa and Kotoko are the most passable, I cant stand the other two.
Alright let's start this & woah, these DR1 references in the opening.
Someone refresh my memory, who voices Komaru? She sounds familiar.
Why was that rocket on the moon if it returned in the opening of DR1? & dat anime girl clock the otaku guy liked. Weren't those magazines the same ones in the Play Room in DR1?

it was also in the garbage and used in junko's execution, lol. consider that one a test flight
Cherami Leigh.
The two Kumas both sound kind of bad. I miss Monokuma as a character. I wish the robots were a Monokuma hivemind or something. Though that would make the puzzles weird.
You have to press Triangle somewhere on the main menu. I had the choice when starting a new game, I think on the difficulty.
...ah, you figured it out.
Kind of amazed at how many anime cutscenes there are, considering the original two didn't have any.
@FluxWaveZ: Couldn't quote due to your post containing spoilers, but considering how DR2 would avoid upskirt shots (despite...other fanservice-y moments), I'm not surprised they did it here either, despite free camera movement & Komaru having a skirt. Would I'm willing to bet considering the previous two games, there'll be (not sure why I'm spoiler tagging this)
......oohhhhh, & Asuna from Sword Art Online, that's probably why I thought the voice sounded familiar.

some kind of bathing scene
OOH, Kneesocks from Panty & Stocking and Patty from Soul Eater.

Just started this last night, on Chapter 2. I'm enjoying it a lot.
Is there a guide to all the hidden Warriors of Hope anywhere?

....the more I watch these CGI cutscenes, the more I'm getting a flashback to those awful stills from VLR where the models just looked terrible & creepy at times, like they look like clay or something, but it's just this uncanny valley of CGI. Doesn't help the movement at times is....off.
Like, the actual in-game graphics are fine (same for VLR), it's just when those cutscenes happen.

I'd like to know this as well. Maybe missed 2 in the 2nd chapter and 1 possibly in the 3rd.
Also, how do you give
the hitlist cards to Hagakure? After I returned to the secret lair I kept trying to give the 3 I had just found and kept getting awkward silence between Koko and Fufu.
I only really noticed it with Toko.
Oh yeah, the mouth was easily the worst part, as I saw a close-up of Komaru's mouth & gaaah. I think the mouths were also the part that felt the most off in VLR's CGI stills.
I'll probably get used to them, considering how many they are, I guess it's just when they move around a lot like when you're introduced to the Warriors of Hope that it's more noticeable. Honestly, if they just touched up a few things, it's close to what I'd imagine DR in 3D.
So when do these hidden warriors & such start appearing? I'm still on the prologue & figured I'd try searching around, but the game was like "nah, you defeated everyone, time for a cutscene"

Cool, thank you.
I want to look for them on my own, but I don't want to miss any either. Knowing you always find them in a set order (at least from Chapter 2 onwards) is helpful.
So I just started this with Japanese voices, and it's kinda weird how the OP is just straight up the Japanese one if you do that, with no translated text for the character names or their voice actors. The logo earlier on is similarly not translated. Could someone please post a list of the Warriors of Hope's VAs? Some of them sound really familiar but I don't want to go look it up myself in fear of spoilers; even looking up the OP on YouTube is dangerous since I already saw something I wish I didn't in the related videos when I looked up the trailer on a whim a few weeks back.
And I think the cutscene/3D model style's weird but fitting, in a way.

They're not exclusive to the bullet type, you could use those excellent combos you listed on any bullet.
Okay, I got a good laugh when you get your hacking gun back after
, especially since it reminds me of (DR2 spoilers)
.
.....though is there a reason that I'll find out later as to why "that" character is called Servant when we know the name of said character?
Edit: Man, I seriously dig the design of everyone's eyes/pupils.
being modified for "game balance purposes"
DR2's big twist at the end
