Aaahh, okay. I guess that makes sense.
Also Jataro is..............annoying. These introductions for the Warriors of Hope is weird, considering you have the option for a different intro, but then you continue the cutscene & they pretty much tell you most of what it is you just watched from the special cutscene intro. Was it just to make it easier for replaying so you wouldn't have to watch as many cutscenes or something?

I think Jataro is the funniest of the bunch. Normally such drawn out voice acting would bother me, but the VA is really nailing the character IMO.
The voice acting across the board as been excellent so far.

Sounds like the perfect place to me
So wait. If the Warriors of Hope want to make a paradise only with kids.................wouldn't Komaru technically be safe because she's not really an adult? I mean, she's in high school, so she's probably, what, 16? Yeah, it's older than the Warriors of Hope, but still not actually an adult, despite the kids calling her one.
SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF RUIoh hey a
reference lol
I will say, so far in this prologue, this sense of dread/despair has been very consistant compared to the previous games.

what the fuck at chapter 3
just what the fuck
just what the fuck
There's the year and a half she was locked up to consider as well, but I also wasn't expecting them to call her an adult.
(I like how the two of us are pretty much exactly in the same place right now, though I assume we'll diverge fairly soon.)
They're Elementary/Early Middle School kids, high school kids basically are adults to them. They gave he 'a chance' to show whether she was bad yet or not and she failed by her reaction to their massacre game.
Fair enough, I guess. Perhaps they figure she's "close enough" to being an adult or something, but considering the premise was always involving high schoolers, that just stuck out as odd to me, but yeah, her reaction as well also played a role as to why they want to hunt her down.
Not sure if I'll be able to complete Ch. 1 tonight. At the very least wanna get the Prologue finished (which should be soon, I think). Will try to keep my Vita in sleep mode so I don't risk that save data glitch.
.........though considering a certain line from Kotoko, I fear I already have an idea of her backstory...

Haha, good point. Takes a while for the bigger twists to happen & questions to be answered.

Is there a consensus on what's the better camera option? I'm just baffled that running is stuck on O since it makes manual useless, but auto's kinda disorienting.
EDIT:
There's been two lines so far that stuck out to me. :x

I feel like we should spoiler this at this point, just in case?
I'm assuming the one you're thinking of was the one about pedophiles. When the Warriors first show up on the broadcast she also randomly talks "kiddy porn" or something like that.
Yeah, that was the line I was thinking of, though WTF, I didn't hear that during that scene. I'll have to unlock it to go back & see if I can hear it or catch it in the subtitles, but I think that cements my fear of what we're going to discover later on.
HOLY SHIT, THE FANTASY SECTIONS, I LAUGHING SO HARD. Bravo, Feep, bravo.
For some reason I already forget what kind of scene it was, but if it was only a voiced cutscene, I'm playing with the Japanese voices (and subs). So it might have been translated differently? Dunno.
You can buy weapon upgrades during the game. Cutscene/music/CG unlocks open up after you beat the game.

These journals you find laying around are absolutely brutal. The despair in this game is all encompassing.
You can only do it when choosing a new game.
That's... uh... odd. Well, thankfully I just finished the prologue.

This game feels like survival horror as opposed to a basic shooter. The limited resources, the puzzles, the jump scares. (
) Not to mention the obvious oppressive atmosphere and story.
The puzzle rooms/challenges are my favourite aspect of the gameplay so far.
Junk Monokuma anyone?

Well, I beat the game.
Honestly, I didn't enjoy the game all that much. The first three chapters were real, real slow for me. I enjoyed chapter 5 the most, it definitely picked up, but by then the repetitive nature of the game had had an effect on me.
Overall I find the story pretty weak. Again, chapter 5 picked up a bit from the rest of the game but overall I found myself not caring much about the plot. I really disliked the child antagonists, and I'm not happy about the implication that (ending spoilers)
. I'm not looking forward to that, to be honest.
The moment-to-moment dialogue, though, is pretty good. And it was fun to see Toko and Komaru interact. On that level at least the writing is enjoyable. The Toko Fantasy stuff with Byakuya was pretty goddamn hilarious, too.
Visually the game looks great, no complains here.
Also, the controls in general need a lot of work. Combat is really clunky as it is now. Some sort of quick 180 (like RE4) would have done wonders, as would faster aiming in general.
Overall I’m pretty disappointed with the game after adoring the first two games. The story wasn't up-to-par, and the gameplay wasn't nearly as interesting to me as, say, the trails in the first two games. Had I not been out of town this week with nothing else to play I might have stopped playing it half way through or something.

Monica at the very list will return in future games

Playing on despair difficulty I would agree. I'm always low on my darn Break bullets and at times have gotten close to 0.
The major thing that prevents this from having the tension of a survival horror game is Toko. In any moment you're truly in despair, you just press that button and it's all good.
Though, I didn't do a playthrough on Despair mode (just did a few encounters on that difficulty), I never was close to running out of batteries because I wanted to rely on Komaru as much as possible.

Doesn't Toko hurt your rank though? I thought I read something like that so I pretty much never use her. That might be why I'm so low -___-.

Did the restore system work or should I wait for Sony? I am also getting this error.
She might. I honestly lost interest in that when I couldn't find any of the Warriors of Hope tags strewn about the environment, and when I was messing up the puzzle rooms. I feel like the game shouldn't penalize you for pressing retry of your own volition.
While DR:AE does not outright spoil DR2, there is absolutely zero reason to play DR:AE first. Well, I still think that because of DR:AE's ending, playing it before DR2 could be very interesting, but I still always say to play it in the order of release.

nope, plus while my notifications say i unlocked all the trophies i had before doing it, my trophies app doesn't show them. so i wouldn't do it.
This is exactly how I feel, minus the
Monaca returning thing.
I really didn't like the antagonists. Monaca was the exception, and only in the ending I grew to like her.
I found the story to be really weak, filled with useless exposition. Danganronpa games, being visual novels, are always full of text, but they never seemed as meaningless and repetitive as this one was for me.
I really hope DR3 sticks to the murder mysteries instead of the real world thing.
She only effects your rank if you use her in a puzzle room.
Wow, can't even open the Trophies app while this game is running. You guys weren't kidding about not being able to open anything else while this game is playing.
& chapters seem to be rather long, as I thought I was at the end of Ch. 1, considering what happened/a special cutscene played, but no, still continuing on. Guess I'll have to see if I can finish it during my break at work.

Finished the game with 19.5hrs of playtime. Wow folks. Enjoy the ride. This one has become my favourite of the series. Soooo good!
Omg thank you. I was going insane.
the guys with hair and beard both had numbers in their names while the other two looked like they had numbers drawn on them so I was completely lost lol

chapter 4 spoilers:
I don't get this.
Nagito said he hated Junko yet he was on of the Remnants of Despair and took her arm.
I don't get this.
You don't want an answer to this now, but what you're saying applies to DR2; the character said the exact same stuff in that game, too. The answer is clear, though, and is perfectly in line with their contradictory nature.

He hates Junko, yet you could say that at the same time she loves her because if she's the worst despair of them all then to Nagito that just means that the strongest of hopes will be born because of overcoming her despair. That said I'm not done with the game so I dunno if they actually specify on that later but that's the way I see it.
There's something very important that you're missing that you'll probably realize at the end.
