I've heard a lot of problems with remote play, which to be honest I haven't tried yet. (I have to do homework, so I'm idling the virtual pet minigame to get coins for this new playthrough.) The main reason I bought it was to play my Vita games on a big screen, because while I love the games on Vita, I would rather play them on a regular console than a handheld. So far it's been pretty good for that.

Taka and Mukuro are so amazing that people pair them often.
But yeah, I think Chihiro had a lot of potential for development. I mean, he was the victim of the second chapter of the first game and yet his actions are more important to the story than more than a half of both casts.

It has the intro and ending that are actually pretty neat and also gave us this beauty
And also animated Monokuma in general...that's about it really.
Oh and there's a bit more male fanservice too for some reason if that's your thing.

Aside from having an animated Monokuma, not really. Trying to retell a ~25 hour game in 13 episodes didn't work too well.
edit:beaten
LOL your avatar, but I don't think Ibuki would approve XD
Trying to dissuade my bf from wasting his time with the anime since he's played through the first game. Abridged is pretty funny though!

It's an ok time waster really. It's not as if it's an offensive adaptation...that title arguably goes to DeSu2 instead.

The anime gave us this:

The anime was amazing.

OK, I'm confused on how to get the special events.
I spent the first free time available raising my virtual pets to get lots of money. I have all of the special items. The walkthrough says to give the Replica Sword to Kazuichi and the An An whatever thing to Mahiru. The game won't let me do that in Free Time. But do I need to talk to them at certain times to make this happen? Byakuya just announced that we're having a party and Nagito just got stuck with cleaning duty. Have I already missed it?

Yup, you've already missed it. You need to give the sword to Kaz when everyone's summoned to the park and the magazine to Mahiru when she's hanging around by the pool before breakfast.
Drat. Fortunately I can restart the chapter and still have all my coins and items, so I'll just go back. Thanks.

Yes, you need to talk to them at certain times.
For the Replica Sword, you need to talk to Kazuichi after Togami says to meet him at Jabberwock Park from the resturant.
For the An An, you need to talk to Mahiru, the next day after the events at night with Monokuma in Jabberwock Park. This should be before Togami announces he'll throw a party.
Thanks. I just went back and got Mahiru, but I missed Kazuichi because I talked to him before Togami summoned us and after we got to the park. I guess I missed the in-between.
On the plus side, with all this going back, I should have Togami's hope fragments done before he goes away.

Q & A with the localization team from USGamer
I honestly can't imagine a Fuyuhiko that doesn't swear now.

They didn't ask about AE.... :/
It's pretty cool that the English version has the same VA for Makoto & Nagito, just like the Japanese version. The VAs in both languages did an incredible job. (Same for both casts of both games. Excellent all around.)

Game journalism.
They wouldn't have given them an satisfying answer.
Pretty much.
"We don't have anything regarding the localization of AE as of yet, so you'll just have to wait" etc .
It'll come, don't worry.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't ask.

Maybe they really did only have 10 questions they could ask and using one of them up for a non-answer wasn't worth it.
SolarKnight
Member
I guess you could argue that it's worse to not ask at all than ask something you'll get a non-answer for, but really, I'm pretty sure that if they're working on AE they're legally forbidden from saying anything about it just like how Feep couldn't mention the DR2 localization until they announced it despite having worked on it before DR1 released so what's the point.

I do wonder why the game industry is so secretive, what effects would announcing an Another Episode localization do apart from getting us hyped?
Because getting people hyped too early can have a reverse effect of what the publishers want, actually making people less excited as time goes on. There's also whatever factors that could lead to the possible cancellation of a localization if it were to go underway and announced too early, or whatever.
There's also the possibility that work on a localization hasn't even started yet.

Just a "We're trying to get it" instead of a "Stay tuned for the next random event" sounds better. Also, announcing it to early = loses hype is bullshit, just look at Final Fantasy 15, as long as they start hyping it before the game actually comes out it'll be fine.
Just don't do something like fully confirm it's coming before you should like MegaMan Legends 3.

I really don't think that's true. Comparing Danganronpa: Another Episode and Final Fantasy 15 in any way—especially in this case—seems quite fallacious, too.

if you hype something to early, people will stop giving a shit the longer time goes on. It has happen to FF a lot.

There are also factors too.
They could be under contract that they can't announce it until they have the go-ahead from Spike Chunsoft.
Stop letting the despair of not knowing get to you~
Everyone love, love instead!

They could just do an island mode anime.
Everyone falls in love with Hinata over 12 episodes plus 3 OVAs~

They're saving that for the post-DR3 dating sim spinoff

Ok so I finished the second game last night;
Am I missing something, or what's the relevance of the ultimate imposter, other than being fat Byakuya?
I mean, I get it's to toss the reader off from it being the real Byakuya from the first game, but this thread seemed to be dropped by the characters in that no one pursued why he was pretending to be Tagami of all people.
Did I miss something?

Hopefully we'll get a Danganronpa fighting game too.
Well Twogami was also used to cause suspicion in the group when they found the data on the first killing game.
But yeah, the whole why is he Togami instead of anyone else isn't really explored. There are a bunch of fan theories like he's one of the candidates for being the heir of the Togami family and lost to the Super Duper Prick.

Oh, fair enough. Yeah, I thought that was the only real omission when I was done, because I was noodling on it and it seemed like a dropped plot element that wasn't resolved.
Everything else was pretty rad though. Gonna have to go through the IF story now.

During the morning of Chapter 3, everyone meets up and discover a creepy memorial of Mahiru. At first Hiyoko tries to make Mahiru's memorial look like something a good person would make, wondering who did it. Then everyone agrees its horrible, and she changes her posture to agree with them. And then Chiaki convinces everyone that someone did it with a very good intention, and Hiyoko ends up saying she did it because Mahiru deserved it since she was a very nice person to her and the only one she really liked.
BUT earlier in the chapter this scene happens:
I mean, she's talking about Mahiru's memorial, right? Then why she does acts so mischievious during this scene like it's something horrible the other weirdos would like? Can someone explain me the context of this scene? I must have missed something out.
Edit: Oh my, we're now in the Community section!

Because she's Hiyoko and she's messed in the head. Everything she's saying there is literal.
Hopefully we'll get a Danganronpa fighting game too.
Considering AE seems to be doing well that actually isn't out of the question.
You're looking to much into it.
It's Hiyoki. She's naturally acerbic and that's probably just her way of expressing her excitement.
Source? I'm not even sure if that would be good or bad because of the lack of sales data for similar titles and not knowing the publisher's expectations.
