now to wait
unsure how i feel about this
edit: oh also i would advise being careful with youtube links because god knows what people will post in the comment sections or what recommended videos you get
i'd either suggest making sure people link videos like this (though even that shows recommendations at the end) or just not clicking video links at all unless you're willing to take that risk
but that's just me being overly cautious, people are really frivolous with DR spoilers and it'd make me sad to see someone's day ruined via being spoiled

Nope. You're not being overly cautious at all.
I don't know why, but Youtube comments are ALWAYS spoileriffic. I once was listening to a music track from a game, and the first comment was about a character's death for no reason at all. Avoid like the plague.
EDIT: Whoops, sorry for the double post.
I must clear my browser history...
Hell yeah.
Just got my credit card charged. I hope this means my copy will be shipping a bit early, I want to get my hands on this as soon as possible!

They said some LE's might take a bit longer than the standard games. I think NISA said they want to try and ship them out this week if possible for next Tuesday. I haven't been charged yet, and my order still says "Pending Fulfillment"

I wasn't charged until about an hour ago whereas it seems some people have had theirs charged as early as this morning, so I'd imagine they're still going through orders. I'd probably give it a bit of time before sending support a message.
That was great lol, would be nice to see the students actually have some fun like that for once.
Glad I preordered at gamestop then. Will pick up on way home

Another warning: youtube brings up related videos of Let's Plays and junk, and probably contain spoiler preview images.

I'm totally down for this and going in dark, one question though:
How dark we talking here? Ace Attorney 5 level of dark, or Corpse Party? Cause if it's Corpse Party level, I'M OUT YO

It's definitely not CP levels of dark. It's more in between AA5 and 999/VLR.
BronsonLee

999 was pretty close to the deep end for me considering the rather descriptive nature of things, but I'll square up and handle it. Thanks man!

Most definitely not Corpse Party dark, but just how effective the dark stuff is is going to vary from person to person. I personally find it uncomfortably dark based on the presentation, which in some ways makes certain scenes play out like a black comedy. Some incredibly twisted things go on and it's all very intense.
That being said, if gory visuals are your problem, you should be fine for the most part. It's darker to think about some of the scenes than actually see them.
well they tend to ship before the launch date and depending on your proximity to socal, it might arrive sooner than that

I watched a quick gameplay video on Youtube.. this game looks great. I enjoy the puzzle solving stuff (well, logic puzzles I guess). I think what I saw was from a demo.
Will put this on my watch list.

every full dollar (not including tax) you spend at the store = 5 points. get 500 points and they send a $5 coupon for a future purchase.

I'd love a demo to tide me over till Tuesday.
It's just a laugh.
Holy cow, that original post is awesome and you guys rock.
I usually don't follow the release of a game I worked on too closely, since I'm generally pretty burnt out by that point (and waist-deep in my next one) but I'm super pumped for this one.
On the one hand, I'm sad that I don't get to experience this fresh (and even when I was editing the script initially, I had to understand the whole story before I started, so literally everything got spoiled). But I'm getting a ton of evil joy out of seeing people's prediction lists, and I can't wait to see everyone's reactions.
Anyway, a couple quick things I wanted to mention.
(No real spoilers here but just in case)
I was the script editor that Feep mentioned, and basically the way that it worked was that each actor was given a rundown of the general plot, and then I broke down the story beats in more detail depending on how many lines the actor had (in other words, how long they survived). It was pretty much on me to make sure the actors had as much context as they needed, since obviously I was the most familiar with the script.
Also, I was able to send all the actors a link to the first episode of the anime so that they could at least get a sense of what the tone of the game was and how their characters were portrayed, which I think helped a lot of them get into it more.
I will also say (and I'm obviously biased here) that the dub gets better the farther you get into the game. It took a little while for a lot of the actors to really click with their characters, but once they started getting it, and once you start getting into the characters as the player, I think it improves from there.
Re: Sakura (very minor spoiler)
Anyway, I'm gonna try and pop in when I have time once the game's out, and delight in everyone's despair as much as possible.

Her accent is actually 100% real. We went and got an actress who spoke native French, and although she had trained herself to speak without the accent, she was able to bring it back at will. (Although it's technically a French Canadian accent, which might be throwing you off.)

she is a princess
i honestly hope they removed everyone calling her ogre it's such a mean nickname
Re: Sakura (very minor spoiler)
I felt the same way, that it came off worse in English than in the Japanese, so I only had one character call her that, and it's someone who's kind of oblivious to social cues and things like that, so I think it fits. And it only gets mentioned a couple-few times, so it's pretty unobtrusive.

And to celebrate the announcement of Super Danganronpa 2 being localized. Right?

Ah, in that case I apologize for calling it fake. I'm in the second chapter and I've already gotten used to it. I can't wait to hear her later performance.
Nah, no biggie. It took me a while to get used to it myself. I just think it's a neat fact, so I thought I'd share!

Really kicking myself for not getting that LE when I had the chance.
I live in SoCal :l
Judging by that photo I'm going to assume it's too late for me :lol
Thanks for all of your work hoping the preorder numbers were good enough to think about doing SDR2
Vague spoilers for the first chapter:
I figured out what happened really quickly and really easily and was hoping it was a fakeout leading to an interesting twist, but no. I feel like I could have won that trial by standing in the middle of the room myself and immediately explaining everything to everyone before anyone else even opened their mouths. Basically the trial felt like a waste of time.
I'm guessing the chapters get more interesting as they go, but it really could have started stronger.

The first chapter is pretty much a tutorial chapter. It's supposed to be easy.
