Danganronpa: Academy of Hope and High School Students of Despair

So, uh... Zack asked, and I kinda wanna know too.

Do I need a graphics card / a better laptop for NDRV3?

I don't think anyone can answer that. There's no Japanese PC version, only Vita and PS 4 versions. The PC debut will come along with the English version.

I see...

Either way, I'm going to buy the game and play it as soon as it comes out on Steam. A perfect birthday present for myself.

I'll probably wait a little when the game comes out. Hopefully there's no one who'll remind me of Nagito (I like him as a character, but hate him as a person.)

Ouma is a little bit Komaeda but also very not Komaeda. I look forward to see how you're gonna feel about him.

Please tell me there's no Hiyoko expy. I hated that bitch

Still not looking forward to Kaede's death.

Shit I hope the next game doesn't pull another red-herring like that.

Something tells me they will, but something tells me they won't, stick to standard survivor archetypes:

• The Asshole (Togami and Fuuyuhiko)
• The Ambigiously Brown chick (Obvious)
• The Comic Relief (Hagakure and Kazuichi)
• The Main Character
• Another Chick (Fukawa and Sonia)

(Answer to s question, don't know if they actually want to know or not, but I'll tag it)

they don't really conform to those archetypes, no

They do with the second half. Yumeno is the comic relief, Saihara is the protagonist and Harukawa is the other girl.

So no Asshole or Ambigiously Bown one? Ok then, nice to deviate form the formula.

Although "Reformed/Former Asshole" is probably a better name, as Togami and Fuuyuuhiko (and Munakata from the anime) all start out that way but get better. Togami less so though.

Don't forget the swole one always dying at Chapter 4

Also I wonder if a death in the first chapter is going to be someone who isn't important at first but turns out to be latter like Mukuro, or someone who is important at first but turns out not to be latter, like Fat Togami/The Imposter.

I saw some videos and I have to say: that I like these English voices

Yeah, me too. But I'm kinda pissed that most of them are returning VAs. Especially after looking at the list of the Japanese voice cast.

They've got big names like Akio Ohtsuka, Maaya Sakamoto and Tetsuya Kakihara. What have we got?

Well what English VA's are considered All-Star?

Wait the English voices are already out? Do we have a casting sheet?

We have most but not all of them

I feel like it's a matter of NISA maybe wanting to play it safe with their budget-I'd actually say it's for a specific reason

The board game in the bonus mode has interaction scenes and all characters in the previous games are playable (also Shirogane stuff), so they have to bring all the old V As back. Having they double as new characters is a reasonable cost-cutting method imo.

Himiko's voice kinda reminds me of Compa from Neptunia

Who killed Hagakure in the demo for V3?

Evidence points to Naegi, but the demo ends before we figure everything.

Hagakure isn't really dead. At the end of the demo, it's revealed that it's all just a play. Makoto even asks Monokuma about the quality of his performance. And when they start to leave with Hinata, Hagakure can be heard yelling at them to wait for him.

Gonta seems like an interesting character.

I really dislike the way his character was handled, but as far as I've seen, that's just me.

That means you have already played or watched a walkthrough of NDRV3, right?

How well does Gokuhara's You No Take Candle style of speech in the localisation correspond to the way he talks in the original Japanese version of the game?
