"Hey everyone! This guy's a big phoney! PHONEY!"
It's how I read DR2 as well, so no foul. Couldn't wait huh?
I hadn't realized just how good the fan translation was. When I learned that there were music cues and that the trials were fully translated, I figured I might as well jump in now. I honestly don't regret it. (I still plan on playing DR2 when it officially comes out)

People are talking about DR2?!?!
*foams at the mouth*
*foams at the mouth*
Yeah, I ordered it with 1.2 reload.
it's good for what you get, I'd recommend it. Only downside is that the Monomi cover isn't anything like the Persona 4 Golden Limited one, it's pretty light weight and if your vita falls the plastic case is gonna take most of it.

I liked most of the cast too; there are a couple I don't like that much and one that I hate though.
Ibuki and Tanaka are my favourite.

May I ask who are these characters? You got me interested

Oh, sure.
Least favorite:
Nagito Komaeda
Kazuichi Soda
Favorite:
Teruteru Hanamura
Nagito and Kazuichi are fawned over constantly by fans but I cannot stand them at all. Doesn't help every person I've met who has associated with Nagito have been creepy freaks. With that, Teruteru is usually berated for various reasons but I still love him, he also seems to be a victim of the "not conventionally attractive = not popular" bias.
With that though, the female cast in this game is not far behind Teruteru, in fact i could probably append Peko Pekoyama or Ibuki Mioda to that.
lol. We're talking in a way that doesn't reveal anything about the plot.
Also, I love everyone except for Saionji. Ugh...

I hate her too, but mostly I hate Mikan.
I didn't like Teruteru that much but he wasn't that bad; Souda was so annoying though.
I kinda liked Komaeda in the end. It went up and down a bit during the whole game, there were moments when I hated him and moments when I really enjoyed his presence.
I really wanted to like (implications for another character)
Ibuki, but unless I missed something from not playing her island mode, I was really disappointed by her actual role in the story.
(More stuff about said character)
It doesn't help that even without being able Japanese, I can clearly tell that a ton of her speech quirks were lost in translation.
I heard someone say that in general, the girls of 1 are better, while in 2, it's the guys. The guys are definitely better across the board, but I'd say that I prefer the girls, too. I would've liked Hinata in general for not being milquetoast like Makoto, but he genuinely became one of my favorite characters.
Who would that be? Is it
(Stepping Stones)
The first translation set has a lot of love put into it, bit I still think the prose suffers a bit since the main translator doesn't speak English or Japanese natively.
(Mechanic discussion)
I like Souda well enough, but I could see him making some of the threads hitting OT lately.
And yeah, I may not like Nagito, either, but I can appreciate the ways he actually contributed to the story.
(Prologue and Chapter 1 characterizations)
Teruteru is hilarious, though, and I liked that he did seem to be more than a pansexual force of nature.
Saionji, can't stand people like her in real life. Nagito is my favorite DR character. I loathe and adore him at the same time. Ibuki is second and my favorite female.

I'm not that much of a fan of Komaeda either.
Not big enough to buy his upcoming figure, lol.

(Saiyonji Implications)
Yeah... Tried blocking her out of mind, honestly. And the thing is that she could've had an arc like another character, but she just stayed the same.
(Prologue Spoilers)
Brogami was also another favorite of mine. Funny how putting on a few extras pounds makes you so much more pleasant to be around.
Good point, I'll make sure to spoiler tag any discussion I do.

SDR2:
Even if some of the characters bother me in some way in SDR2, I like a good majority of the cast. A lot more of a majority than DR1's.
Which characters were those? The only two characters I actually disliked were Saiyonji and Tsumiki. Everyone else was either well-executed and awesome or wasted potential to me. Even then, though, no one in the cast struck me as a true stinker.

Here to keep your mind off Danganronpa 2, Danganronpa 1 is getting a stage play this fall that most of us will probably never get to see!

Once you finish it, you'll have the inexplicable urge to say it's better than DR every chance you get.
I prefer Zero Escape a lot more as a whole, but even I see that the comparisons can get out of hand at times.
I really wish they had went with Aloha Despair, because depending on the context, it can either mean "hello" or "goodbye," while also being more appropriate for the island setting.
I'm morbidly curious to see how they handle Sakura.

If the Persona 4 Visuallive Show is anything to go by, it will be goofy and dumb as hell. And Monokuma being his normal self.
Find the biggest, burliest, buff man they can find in Japan and put him a Schoolgirl Uniform, or putting it another way a man dressed in drag. This wouldn't surprise me in the slightest,
Probably too soon for this.It's always too soon for this. ;_;
Yes! ♪♫♪
EDIT: Holy shit, that channel has more videos now, and they involve the person creating models of DR characters and making them dance to music.
One with Mukuro and Taka dancing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyF5FXTwKig
I'm not sure what to think.

999 is really really good, at the same level of DR for sure.

PLATINIUM GET !!!
Finally !!
I finally did school mode 6 times !!
That's way too much
WAY TOO MUCH
Locking the school mode endings if you don't have All cleared reports was a DUMB move..
But i did it ...after 37 hours....
Considering that i had played the psp version when the patch was released i can consider that i've played this game wayy too much.
bring it on DR2 !

Well
I'm actually annoyed since i had planned to use 20 hours at most on this game since i had already played the psp fan translated version
So i spent way more time than i expected on this.
School mode was a cool idea , and full of great moments , especially the endings , but locking said endings behind a fully completed report set was a freaking mistake. I understand that the school mode ending are tied to the stuffs in the talks that you get during the reports, but then just lock the characters that don't have the report page filled !
best moments :
Toko
Asahina
Celeste
In short i spend a good amount of time in this vita version
And i loved it overall

Ahhh...
Once I finish DR2, I'll be able to freely search for DR fanart/comics.
I can't wait
So I... I finished DanganRonpa 2. I don't really know what to say... Going in, I thought the hype of the game was a tad ridiculous, especially after completing DR1 (which I personally thought was fantastic) but when all's said and done, I can honestly that DR2 is phenomenal. It absolutely lives up to the hype, and is exponentially better than 1.
It takes the best aspects of DR1 and perfects it. It takes the worst aspects of DR1 and reworks them or removes them altogether. And best of all, it respects DR1.
It's a Super High School Level Game, through and through.
It's a significant spoiler, but not a game ruiner. DR2 is chock filled with twists and turns, and you ran into the one that wouldn't completely ruin your experience.

If you don't mind, I wouldn't mind doing the spoiler thread.
Would like to do something for the second game that isn't that time investing
