DanganRonpa: Trigger Happy Havoc Spoiler Thread - Farewell, spoiler tags of despair!
- Thread starter SolarKnight
- Start date
I hope I don't get lynched for admitting this but one of my first avatars on GAF was a close-up of Junko's face when she's pressing the red button.
I reasoned that Dangan Ronpa was still incredibly obscure at the time and that due to the kind of game it is and how much work would have to go into it it'd never get localized. Plus the close-up was really vague to which character it was and lacked context completely.
I hope no oldbies with good memories getting into Dangan Ronpa hold it against me.
Inorigo.
Haha! Regardless of the percentage, he's still an asshole either way.
Hope he dies in the sequel.
Agreed. I'm glad this game doesn't have a full on tsundere on the girls side though (unless you consider Kyoko to be a tsundere). Definitely a breath of fresh air.
I went through half of it, but my brother told me the general gist of it.
I don't think it's particularly relevant to the this discussion, since it can be completed early on, and it doesn't reflect the change he underwent post=chapter 4. In fact, i'd argue that his report card clearly shows a clear contrast between his earlier self, and endgame self. (Doesn't it end with him telling Makoto to gtfo?)
I never tried to argue that he changed significantly but there IS a change, however small.

Honestly, I think that avatar is acceptable since nothing about it screams spoiler unless you actually point it out. Were it much more obviously mastermind Junko in the avatar it'd be another thing.
Hah, I'd posted earlier about how I'd seen that particular shot of Junko before I even knew what Danganronpa was and only recognized both her and that particular shot once I saw it in-game. I can agree that, without any knowledge of the character or context to it, that particular shot doesn't tell you much. Generic crazy girl.jpeg
A bit off topic of a question, but I figure this is the place to ask it as I'm likely to catch the attention of people more experienced in VNs:
I've played the Ace Attorney games, Zero Escape, and now this. Where should I go next with VNs in this sort of vein? I'm looking for more crazy twists and offbeat premises along with slightly more involved gameplay (compared to a straight-up dialogue choice VN). I've heard good things about Steins;Gate and that it's coming out in English soon, but that's obviously not a choice at the moment.
I've seen people mention Umineko when discussing good VNs, is that a good place to go?

Well, I'm not VN expert, but if you don't mind it not having any gameplay at all I don't see why Umineko would be a bad choice.
Umineko is a straight up sound novel, but it has all the crazy murder mystery twists along the veins of Danganronpa, Zero Escape, et all. It's like a straight VN with no gameplay though, not even dialogue choices. Very worthwhile roller coaster of a VN if you're willing to saddle up all the way through though. (Whether you play with the original art or the PS3-sprite mods is entirely up to you)
Ever17 is the premiere Uchikoshi (Zero Escape) title, from which elements were definitely borrowed for Virtue's Last Reward. It can take a while to get going because of its format (traditional pick a waifu gameplay), but I'd argue that it still has some of the best twists in the genre.
Oh yeah, I definitely agree that I'd rather not risk it with that type of avatar, specially now that the game is out and people are actively playing it. I'm just mentioning my particular circumstance with that shot of Junko.
But you were a voice actor for a character who made it all the way to the end? lol.
I think I'm okay with a lack of gameplay if it's a great story, those were just kinda the sort of things I was looking for in what I want to play. Story and premise are good enough for me, gameplay is just a nice addition.
I've gotten Ever17 spoiled for me a good deal after playing VLR and running into discussions of it, so I'm not really looking to play it right now. Maybe some day.
Thanks!

Yeah, it's not really much of a spoiler since you don't know its a spoiler until either you already know it or someone points it out to you.
Of course, it was treading really close grounds since someone actually asked about that when the OT first went up, hahaha.
Use the fantranslation's one.
Yeah, and because of that, I almost got the whole thing spoiled for me if I had spent a few more moments thinking about why the person had posted about the avatar and it stuck with me when I started playing the game.

Well it depends on what part they thought was different.
I think the noticeable thing is that her hairpins are different which could be chalked up to fan artist interpretation or whatever.
The most damning thing about the avatar is that there's no freckles which easily means that is a different character and spoils something much larger. But then, you are basically asking for spoilers if you keep thinking about it.
I saw Inorigo's current avatar while I was playing the game and I didn't think much about it since there's nothing overt about it unless one makes it a point to analyze it completely, which would be kinda odd.
We might be talking about two different cases, though, because there was a user by the name of HeavenSmiley who had pointed out that someone's avatar might contain spoilers (I believe it was Inorigo again) and it was of Junko posing with the crown on her head (an in-game sprite). I saw that comment and told them that pointing it out is in itself a spoiler. If I had then gone on to look at the avatar in question and think about what could be spoilerish about it instead of nixing the whole thing from my thoughts immediately, I would have been pissed after she dies early on.

Yeah, I'm probably remembering wrong.
Cause the most obvious thing to me if someone says the Junko at the start and at the end looks different would be the freckles.

I got stuck on this part for about... Like 5 minutes because I couldn't think of something that would mean split personality. When I eventually did figure out it was "shizo" I was confused and surprised as shit. The fan translation might have spoiled me there, since PZ's version they used "D.I.D." instead.
I'm not entirely sure people are going to pay that much attention to the whole freckles thing. I mean, I never really did. Even when the real Junko revealed herself. It seems to me that could be one of those things that could be equally up to fan artist interpretation, regardless.

Besides, it's quickly brought up and dismissed as "oh it's photoshop" when you meet her which on hindsight is suspicious but it's such a common thing irl that you just go "oh ok makes sense"
I never noticed the freckles to begin with.

Oh, I'm pretty sure he already knows the truth behind Junko. He's aware of the fact that she's voiced by two different VAs, at least.

It's not like you'd be able to make out Mukuro's tiny freckles in an avatar anyway.

This makes me wonder, what if someone had a Mukuro not-disguised avatar but without any indication that she's a Dangan Ronpa 1 character?
I would think that'd be fine.

It can be easily chalked up to a character from the sequel or just someone drawn by the same artist.
It's only really a spoiler if you think something's wrong with it.

Someone talk me out of this.

You should probably get it.
You'd have to know the plot to recognize it as a spoiler.

Don't look at me. I'll actually say get it cause Mondo's outfit is pretty complicated compared to someone like Ishimaru's.
I remember when it clicked in my head that they switched I went "GODDAMMIT SHE SAID IT WAS PHOTOSHOP!" and then later on they addressed it, I was like "HA! One step ahead of you."
It was kinda cool being one step ahead of the end of the game, but it prevented my mind from being as blown as it could have been.

I don't have fanarts but there's official art from the wiki *shrug*
Is....is it even possible to spend 3 free time events with Kuwata?
dakkumauji

The we all wished were canon School Mode fixes that. Any skill you get there gets carried over.
It's just that I spent the first 2 free time events with Kuwata since I wanted the skill he gives you at 3, but I guess I should just spend them with whoever.

Yeah, the main plot is pretty unforgiving in giving you enough time to spend with characters before they die or hate you for plot reasons.
Wow, 2nd playthrough of School Mode was MUUUCCHHH easier, especially getting the tools. & was able to get 5 characters' panties farewells. Are those the "school endings" that the trophy is referring to? I only got the one that said I didn't make any of the back-ups.
Also, heh at Chiriho's undergarments being bloomers....& the description for Aoi's saying "the one drawback is that they turn totally see-through if you go swimming in them".

Looks like Mukuru prepared for the inevitable fighting game spinoff in advance

would mark out so hard for a DR fighting game
i don't even know how most characters would fight all i know is that i want it
i think that at one of the fan events the series producers even had a discussion about which character would come out on top in a fight and they decided kyoko would win because she's batman and sakura would come in 2nd
edit: actually i was wrong, quote from orenronen, author of the SA LP (i'll spoiler anything about SDR2 characters because might as well, but there's no actual spoilers):

I can imagine Ishimaru's super
"FIGHTING IS NOT WELCOME IN A SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT"
(*he says this, while wailing on the opponent)
+500 Respect gained
Between the first game and the sequel they definitely can have enough "fighting" type characters to make a small roster.
