Only good part of Chapter 3 was the Hiyoko's death, and the fact that almost no one cared about it.

I really don't like how they handled Mikan being the killer. They didn't even give her a chance.

hmmm? how so?

"Man, I really like Ibuki! I hope she doesn't die anytime so-"

chapter 3

"W-well, this sucks, but after doing Mikan's free time events she's starting to really grow on me! At least she's still aro-"

trial 3

Seriously, that case screwed with me so much. My old-favourite character was killed by my new-favourite character, and then I had to kill her. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO FEEL.

Spoiler

And then Nagito chapter 4 onwards happened and everything was OK.

i feel your pain, i feel it so much

Huh, I've been wondering about this. Do you guys hate a character just because they killed someone you liked? Like, Celes was behind Ishimaru's murder and Fuyuhiko was behind Mahiru's, yet they are some of my favorite characters.

basically i hate it when a character kills one of my favorites for stupid reasons, so i really only hate Leon and Mondo

The manga disagrees with that.

After Mikan killed Ibuki, the only thing I wanted was to fucking annihilate her. It's the most bloodthirsty I think I've ever been with regards to a character. :lol

I was mostly just disappointed that Mikan's punishment wasn't worse.

 

[Caladrius]

The only murders that made me think less of the perpetrator were the first three in the first game, all of which involve them being a dumbass or unnecessarily cruel.

While not a whole lot of the other killers have outright sympathetic motives, most of them at least make some kind of sense.

 

[Jintor]

Celeste's reason is kinda shitty (well, the reason she gives; personally, I think she was lying about the reason) but her execution (both of them hur dur) is kinda fantastic so I excuse it

 

[Xpike]

Celeste's reason is kinda shitty (well, the reason she gives; personally, I think she was lying about the reason) but her execution (both of them hur dur) is kinda fantastic so I excuse it

I think Celeste's reason is the 2nd best one, just below Naegi's. At least she doesn't try to justify yesterday with any "I NEEDED TO DO IT" bs, she just goes "I wanted the money".

 

[Vylash]

Celeste's reason was seriously the best, her facade of lies and deception would've been kind of a waste if they gave her some sappy reason for doing what she did, i like that she was selfish until the end

 

[ShadowSoldier89]

Mikan's reason sucked because it removed any chance she had at rehabilitation

 

[MiguelMexMIstery]

Hmm, I would like to write down why I ended up liking Leon thanks to the manga but I'll do it some other day since I'm just finishing classes, stuff and PQ, so I don't feel motivated or concentrated enough to do it.

Celeste's reason is kinda shitty (well, the reason she gives; personally, I think she was lying about the reason) but her execution (both of them hur dur) is kinda fantastic so I excuse it

The only reason I don't like Celes' execution is because it doesn't relate to her Ultimate talent. I know it relates to Celes' character and causing her despair but one of the reasons I love executions is because the use of their Ultimate talent. Like, if she was the Ultimate Witch or something then yeah.

And yeah I agree with the others that her reason is one of the best, mainly because her's isn't an accident and was just done on purpose without any interference.

Well, she's the ultimate gambler, which entails having masterful anticipation and prediction.

No one would suspect that they're going to be slammed by a bus when the setup is a stake-burning. Monokuma's playing his own devious sleight-of-hand.

i think it's one of the best executions simply because instead of tying into her ultimate talent, it ties into her ultimate dream, her dream was warped and twisted and finally used to kill her

Massive DR:0 Spoilers

Spoiler

The fact that Home Alone is Junko's favorite movie is supremely telling

 

[A Link to the Past]

So, I assume this has been asked and discussed and possibly answered, but is there any reason put forward as to why Nagito was the only one who didn't show up in the in-between of Chapters 5 and 6?

 

[Crash Station]

It's implied he might be dead for real due to his illness. IIRC, there's also no kind of message when you check his cottage, unlike the rest of the dead cast.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

I'll post it here since this has pretty much become a DR community thread (we might need an actual DR community OT):

We are currently making proper preparations for the new Danganronpa title.

Basically another semi-confirmation, further cementing DR3's inevitability. My guess is 2015 is when it'll be announced.

We might get it if NIS survives its fight against Bloodborne, heh... We'd probably get it regardless of their fate, though.

Who do you think would localize it? I guess Atlus would be the lead candidate if it makes financial sense for them. Don't know of any other localization houses.

I think DR is a popular enough series within its niche here that a lot of companies would desire it. I'm thinking of Aksys, Atlus or maybe Marvelous USA.

Ah yeah, forgot about Aksys. Either way it seems like this might put an AE localization on hold indefinitely.

been meaning to do this for a while, but i've got the photoshop skills of a 1st grader

 

[Crash Station]

Ah yeah, forgot about Aksys. Either way it seems like this might put an AE localization on hold indefinitely.

That would suck. We'd probably have to wait years for a fan translation

 

[The Bankslammer]

There's already some decent text only and video translations, though yeah, a playable translation seems a long ways out, considering the current state of that stuff on Vita.

Still, I feel pretty good about AE's odds of reaching us.

 

[LX_Theo]

I'm not a dynamo at Photoshop, but I can help with this if you give me some direction on what you want.

 

[dakkumauji]

Ah yeah, forgot about Aksys. Either way it seems like this might put an AE localization on hold indefinitely.

I imagine the worse scenario is if NIS/NISA goes down after AE gets announced, since that puts a halt on everything. Contacts will have to be redrawn, reworked, hell maybe the localization will have to start anew.

If they go down before then, it's basically whoever wants to localize it and Spike Chunsoft is willing to go with them since it's not like NISA has the license to everything Danganronpa, just probably first choice.

Hmm, I suppose looking at it either way sounds fine now.

It's implied he might be dead for real due to his illness. IIRC, there's also no kind of message when you check his cottage, unlike the rest of the dead cast.

Wow, every time I read this question and theory I only thought of the cottages thing, so I said to myself "Well, his dying message is in the laptop so there's no need to say something with his cottage. I don't get why this means he's dead." But now that you mention it, you're right! He's the only who doesn't show up with all the other dead students before entering Hope's Peak Academy. D:

 

[FluxWaveZ]

I think DR's western status is absolutely fine. DR:AE's going to come out and so is this future DR game. I guess the question is whether DR:AE is localized in 2015 or if it's affected by NISA's status, but I'm confident that things will work themselves out.

 

[ShadowSoldier89]

so...whats going on with NIS?

 

[Zonic]

so...whats going on with NIS?

They're having some business issues & stated if Disgaea 5 didn't sell 150k, they could possibly go out of business. Which could mean NISA could close down as well.

Here's the thread in Gaming.

 

[A Link to the Past]

But NISA is basically fine, since they do so well relative to NIS, so maybe someone will fund the company and keep its business going?

 

[Vylash]

I'm not a dynamo at Photoshop, but I can help with this if you give me some direction on what you want.

well i was thinking pretty much exactly this

but with "neogaf community thread" in the middle with the same general font

 

[dakkumauji]

I say have the best cast picture somewhere in the OT.

 

[LX_Theo]

I have an idea, then. Will work on it.

 

[Vylash]

coolz

any ideas on how we should handle spoilers?

 

[Zonic]

1, 2, & if are fair game, but because Another Episode & Zero haven't been translated, they should be hidden under spoilers for those waiting for the localizations.

Basically, how things are handled here.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

coolz

any ideas on how we should handle spoilers?

Not sure, since this series is so spoiler heavy. Posting an image of a figure could be a major spoiler in itself. I think it's either we do not allow any open spoilers and have them properly labeled (which could cause a lot of black bars throughout the thread), or we allow all spoilers, which means anything DR related, including stuff that's not even out here like DR:AE or DR0.

There's the option for something in-between like allowing some open spoilers and not allowing others, but I have a feeling that policy would quickly dissolve when people inevitably post things that they shouldn't. It'd be the best option if people abided by it, though.

Yeah, like Zonic said, I also think that'd be the best idea.

Still, I know it's probably gonna be broken, perhaps even unintentionally. It's what happens.

When DR:AE comes out, a policy like that would also cause a bit of trouble, with people avoiding the thread to avoid DR:AE spoilers. It's a while from now, and there'd be an OT to tag spoiler discussion, so it's probably not worth thinking too much about right now.

 

[LX_Theo]

So this is what I came up with in the end. Had to redo a large portion of it because my Photoshop crashed and the save file got corrupted. Had some trouble finding the DR font, too.

Again, no Photoshop dynamo, but I like it, lol.

Just throw it in the title when it happens like how the Persona community thread is with P4U2 and PQ?

Just throw it in the title when it happens like how the Persona community thread is with P4U2 and PQ?

Yeah, a simple amendment like that would likely be sufficient. It's just that it all really comes down to trusting people won't mess up and, from previous DR threads, I'm not convinced.

You might want to PM a mod to have it moved to Gaming for a week in order to attract members who aren't subscribed to this thread. Also definitely add an addendum about spoilers to the title, cuz I can guarantee you that 99% of people won't read the OP once the thread gets past the first page.

Two of the three Pokemon community threads as well as the first Persona community thread were placed in Gaming for a week in order to draw more readership, but it could just be that my personal experience is the exception rather than the rule.

Nice to have a DR OT. I'm going to be very wary as to how I approach it, though.

I think this is the spoiler thread. Will mark just incase. Just got this in the mail from Cyber Monday deal on amazon.

Not reading this. But did Prologue and and in the beginning of Chapter 1 and holy shit, its insane up in here. My insane theory:

Spoiler

We got four giant robots. Everyone either looks the closely to other characters or acts like other characters. Think this is either some reality game or alternate dimension where everyone is secretly someone from the first game. Can't remember much names but everyone is acting, sounding, or looking too much like other characters. Some of them, like the swimmer/gymnist look and act the same while others mix the look and act like another character. The Swordwoman has gotta Kyoko, moon looking hair kid dancer acts like Genocider with a but of Fukawa and the sprite looks like Junko while also has pins that could change to Manokuma like Junko while its in the body of Chihiro, the same face.. Chef is fanfic writer, main character looks like makoto, of course rich kid is back but someone else was kinda also acting like rich kid. But I can't remember who. Princess is Sayaka. Maybe Musician is Celeste. Few others I noticed but so many..."new" characters to remember. Are these really the same characters? Or am I going crazy and only like one or two are from the first game and the characters are actually new characters. I don't know what to believe, its an insane plotwist for them all to return but theres too much deja vu up in here.

I will report back once I beat the game. I just had to make this pist tofeel vindicated that I got it right, or completely look like a fool for being stupid...no, something has to be going on with these.

*Silently leaves thread*

Edit: Also that Ocean Scent(?) song sounds just like The Witch's House main theme. Wat.


Edit2: Okay.

Spoiler

Maybe I was wrong about Celeste. Not sure who Celeste would be if anyone. Kuzuryu is Mondo, Soda is Leon, Akane is Sakura, Mahiru...I think may be the guy who went digivolved in the last game. WTF is going on? Dejavu out all up in here. I hope I'm not making a fool of myself.

Edit3:

Spoiler

Okay Musician is Fukawa, Dancer kid is Genocider, so either no Junko, or Murkuro. I'm outta here so no more theories from me. PS: Sorry for any misspellings and forgotten names.

Edit4:

Haha that finger pointing. Mahiru is swimmer...maybe...this game is making me lose my mind and not even the first muder has happened.
