I prefer spoiler tags honestly. Even though I have finished the games. Often people come into Community Threads to ask questions before starting the game and I don't see the harm in using them.

I agree with it. I feel like DR 1&2 are mostly free game at this point, but thats just me. Zero too, though I guess that's trickier? If AE stuff doesn't get tagged though I'll stop following the thread until after I beat it though.
Danganronpa Zero is absolutely not free game. An absolute rule here should be that any Danganronpa game or document not released in North America should have spoilers labeled.

Looking at the track record for the game releases I'm really surprised we haven't heard anything in regards to DR3 unless they're in a tight spot for plotting? I just hope they still to the sprite work and doesn't use 3D models like the spin-off even if they do look okay.

Fair enough, though it is easily available. Not sure if it affects anything with the games after 2, but I get that.
I will say if the thread feels stricter about it, I won't be bent out of shape if the majority feel otherwise. Just might be a bit of a drag, especially for things like
Genocider Jill, which happens very early in 1 and should be a well known character for AE
Yeah I agree for this reason that spoilers should be kept for most major plot points. Its only be a year for 1 and 6 months for 2, not everyone has gotten around to playing them or plays games as soon as they come out.
Agreed. I think the last thing any of use want to experience is being spoiled on something before it's even released here in the US. I'm sure all of us who've been waiting for the English version of Another Episode wouldn't want to be spoiled.
I think what happened was, after the DR2 spoiler thread, we kind of just made this the "general" spoiler thread for all DR games officially released in the US since the DR2 one was sort of turning into a community thread.
Though I do understand that someone might want to take part in this thread but only played the first game, asking questions about DR2. I recall for the most part, we were really good with marking spoilers as to when they happened (i.e "Ch. 4, post-trial").
Endgame SDR2 spoilers
But...
World Ender doesn't actually exist, it's just a name Monokuma made up for the Future Foundation. I guess you might mean Ultimate Despair, but basically everyone in that group is dead or trapped on the island.
Endgame DRAE spoilers
I suppose Monaka and the Monokuma kids could count, but that only happens because of DRAE in the first place.
Back to Endgame SDR2 spoilers.
Really, the only thing the Future Foundation has to 'fight' right now is rioting and other sorts of clean up (air purification, reestablishment of governments, etc.)
I'd be fine with this.

I just started playing Danganronpa 2 (on the first chapter and free time just started). I did not expect Hajime to be voiced by the Bosch man. I'm perfectly fine with that
I love it in the trials when you select a character and he says "YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE!"
Also GAF, I have two ??? items left to buy one is the very last cinematic and the other is under the free events that you do while holding those items, are these both obtained from reading the light novel included with the game?
You can now pre-order Another Episode on Amazon & says it's coming out in Sept. (which would make sense, considering DR2 came out in Sept. as well)

hmmm...I think I will wait and see if a collectors edition pops up
Yeah, gonna do the same after getting DR1 & DR2's LEs. Though I don't know what else they could put in aside from the OST & artbook like the previous LEs. Maybe something to do with the microphone (like that glow-in-the-dark keychain/cellphone strap shown on the previous page) or perhaps a figurine.

Thanks for the heads up, that means the LE preorder will likely go live in June. Will wait for that.

Just realized the LE is the perfect place to toss in the Danganronpa: AE Vita theme.
Get on that NISA.
Think it would make a better Pre-order bonus. They can do better things for a LE

Frankly, I would buy the theme in a heartbeat. But giving it away as a first print bonus/LE extra/pre-order bonus would be ideal.

Same here. It was a pain getting that P4G skin on, I sure as hell don't want to bother with removing it & getting a new skin on smoothly with no dust, dirt specks, or air bubbles. But I'm sure others would use it & I can have it as a "back-up" when my P4G one finally gets too dirty/scratched up.

Man, I love me some good sprite edits. If I wasn't artistically stunted I would definitely try making some of my own.

WHY WOULD ANYONE CUT THAT HAIR SHORT!
Oh hey today I learned the Doggone Ru Paul community is a thing.
Obligatory Ibuki.
Some of her sprite edits are just plain amazing.
Most of the sprite edits i've seen for DR have been kind of weak, but those ones are amazing
Super High School Level Cute
Yay~
On a related note, there's a bunch of sprites I'd love to post that explore what different characters would look like as (major game spoiler)
Junko/the Mastermind.
Could you post the link to them?
The ones I could find. Again, major game spoilers.
Ibuki: 1 2
Celestia: 1
Gundham: 1
Leon: 1
Kazuichi: 1
Chihiro: 1
Maizono: 1 2
Fuyuhiko & Peko: 1
Sonia: 1 2
Teruteru: 1
Aoi: 1
That's all the ones I've found. I'm sure there are others, though.
In non spoiler sprites, Celestia has some great ones too.

For the sake of clarification, these are DR1 & 2 spoilers. This is AE safe.
Some are good, not as big a fan of others. Celestia and Sonia are the standouts for me.
Yes, I should have clarified they are AE safe. My bad.
I like them all for different reasons, but Celestia's is my favorite.

Bought the second game during the critics sale. Just finished Case 4.
As for the game as a whole I don't feel the characters are as compelling as the first game. I miss having a dependable character that you can count on during every case. Chiaki sort of fills that role but is no replacement. The biggest mystery that is keeping me playing right now is Nagito. The fact that he
have me questioning who he is.
Best girls are of course Chiaki, Ibuki and Sonia.
The whole Mechomaru concept was a bit much for me. Kinda glad he didn't stick around for that long.

shares the same voice actor as Makoto and their names are almost a palindrome

You sure? Sonia isn't pure.
it was the opposite for me, i thought 2's cast was miles ahead of 1's
my reaction to a death in 1 was "oh nooooooooooooooo, that's a shame"
but 2? "GOD FUCKING DAMMIT NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOO! NOT THEM!"
the deaths hit me harder because i liked the cast so much more

Can't say any of the deaths have hit me that hard
besides Ibuki's
DR1 Spoilers:
Chihiro's, Mondo's and Sakura's deaths all got to me in the end but I guess the only one I was genuinely upset about as it happened was Chihiro's.
DR2 Spoilers:
None of the deaths have really affected me that much in DR2 except for the ones where I'm glad they're gone. Teruteru was annoying and I was happy he was the first to go. I didn't get to see much of Peko or Mahiru so I didn't feel much towards them. Hiyoko was abrasiveness but I didn't hate her. Can't say I was happy or sad with her death. By the end of Mikan's trial I was glad she was gone. Mechomaru's concept was too outlandish for me so I have to say I'm glad he is gone. They tried to do a character redemption type thing during the trial with Gundham but I felt it was done better with Mondo in DR1.
Overall I can't say which cast I like better as of yet but DR1 has the advantage of no Nagito. I can't stand his whole shtick. It's fine to have characters that are dislikable but Nagito is so annoying it's affecting my enjoyment of the game. To be honest the only thing keeping me playing atm is to find out the mystery surrounding him but his personality is enough to make me quit.
Is this spoilers? >_>

It was in Chapter 4.
Gundham says something about opening a door needing the blood of a virgin and will use Sonia's and then Sonia replies "Hmm... I don't think mine would do then."

DR1 definitely got to me more than 2 for deaths, but in 2 chapter 2 actually stands out
right in the feels
also, I pretty much hate the DR2 cast compared to 1. Fuyuhiko and Ibuki stand out as the only characters I really liked.
It wasn't Peko dying though, it was Fuyuhiko's reaction. The entirety of him talking was going back and forth between him confessing to peko and Monokuma gleefully introducing the execution
also, I pretty much hate the DR2 cast compared to 1. Fuyuhiko and Ibuki stand out as the only characters I really liked.
Pretty much the opposite here. I think 1 has some great characters but a bunch of clunkers too, especially the male characters. The dudes in 2 are way, way, way better.
