Yes. I was hoping we would be getting this. Downloading this as soon as I get home.

It's better than nothing, but my memory card ain't made of space.
So Hollywood
The store I pre-ordered from didn't get their shipment of the game in yet and have no clue when they will. I figure I'll just move the money over to a Mario Maker pre-order and download the game from the Playstation Store when I get home, but it's still not up 
When does Sony usually update the Vita Playstation Store?

Is that not the game?
That's odd. I was just on the store while on my Vita (a couple hours after that post) and the game wasn't there, but now it is.
It's the anime cutscenes that don't have subtitles; the rest of the game does. It's still a strange omission; there were some words I missed out on because of there being no English subtitles for English cutscenes.
Ugh, guess I have to download the pack then.
Sony really needs to provide a storage solution larger than 64 gigs. I'm constantly needing to delete stuff, and needing 4 gigs of space for a single game isn't helping at all.

Nothing arrived for me today I got my email with shipping info literally one minute after I opened my email lol, but looks like it'll probably be another day or two before I get the game judging by how far out it is.

This. I'm actually wondering whether it's worth it in my case as downloading the patch will increase my save file to 1.8GB, so I'll probably end up having to delete it off my Vita to make room one day (still on 16GB).

Is it not possible for them to patch the unsubbed cutscnese out? :/
Edit: responded to wrong post but close enough

I was wondering what's going on with this. I'm thirty minutes from their shipping facility so normally I get everything on either Saturday or Monday. I'm guessing there was a problem which is why everything was shipped out so late.

Got my shipment notification from NISA a little bit ago. I wish I had it today but I'll be flying in a couple weeks so I'll just try to limit my despair since this gives me more to do in the airport and on the flight.

I learned my lesson with NISA with Danganronpa 2 lol
I got that before release day though!

I thought Japanese audio was DLC. Guess I was thinking off a different game.
I got mine the Friday
It is. The DLC contains the japanese dub and the japanese dubbed anime cutscenes.

Alright, I give up trying to comprehend the situation anymore. I'm too stupid. (I have the Monokuma pin to prove it)

I don't have it yet, but I think the original japanese one doesn't have the option for subs, so they couldn't add a soft sub one in the Western release.

Just a heads up, y'all. Chapter 3 is a little rough and drawn out, but Chapter 4 makes up for everything.
Alright, so, first of all:
Softsubs = subtitles are a separate file playing with the video, they're just like a layer on top of it so you can turn them off/on since it's just a toggle. They're like subtitles in a DVD/BD.
Hardsubs = subtitles are rendered in the video, they're "merged", it's part of the video frames. They're like subtitles in a VHS.
The game never had any softsub support during anime cutscenes (the actual videos, not the in-game cutscenes) even in japanese so they'd have had to re-work the game in order to add something like that so they left the english cutscenes unsubbed because, honestly, you should never hardsub anything, it's amateur shit and it's not really smart forcing subtitles on everyone. But, since they provided the japanese audio too they had to find a workaround for the lack of softsubs, of course, and including the same cutscenes but with japanese audio and hardsubs whas the only possible solution. They could have just decided to pull an ATLUS and let the english cutscenes play even when playing it in japanese so I'm glad they went all the way and included them in the DLC.
As for the reason why they're in a DLC, it's just a matter of space, they couldn't fit in the cart. The game alone is 2.3 gb so the DLC would put it over 4gb.

No but it's easier to grind in higher difficulties if I recall correctly.

Played the game for a couple of hours, my first impressions are that the story maintains its dark nature and suspenseful feel despite not taking place in a killing game. In many ways, I feel like this change of setting is actually a really good thing for the series, as the stakes are a lot higher, death and destruction is everywhere, etc. Honestly the game gives me Resident Evil vibes, it's almost like a Raccoon City situation, but with that signature Danganronpa style. I also like the interactions between Komaru and Toko, this game definitely makes Toko more likable than the first game did.
As far as the gameplay is concerned, I'm actually rather impressed. For a series that is normal visual novel with rather lackluster gameplay sections, the gameplay in this outing is much improved. The mechanics are solid, and while it doesn't wow or amaze in any way, it's fun and serviceable. My only gripe is that control is taken away so often for cutscenes and tutorials, but I'm betting that will be alleviated as I get further. All in all, I'm very impressed, I can see this game easily being as good as the first two in the story department, and far surpassing them in the gameplay department.

NISA Store still has not shipped my LE copy yet, I am in despair.
Heads up, the free Vita theme actually normally costs $2.99, according to Sony's PS Store blog. Guessing once next week comes around, it'll no longer be free, so grab it while you can, even if you don't have a Vita yet (just get on the browser store so it's in your download history).
Changed that in the OT, thanks for that.
Could I also get a direct link to the JP voice DLC? I'll add that to the OT as well.
Also a small update, things are slightly looking up for me (dog is feeling a lot better, i just got a new job), so i'll be slowly working on updating the graphics for the OT and switch out some graciously allowed from the import OT.
