Well, the game's finally out in NA and will be out in Europe on Friday. Since some people might not be that far ahead in the game, it would be best to use spoilers if you want to discuss about the game's plot-points. But yeah, I just finished the prologue right now and so far its pretty impressive. Presentation wise, this game looks amazing. Having sprites for the protagonist when they're talking, and the use of "panel-like" visuals to have multiple character sprites on screen, are all really good implementations. The use of zooming in and out during character interactions makes everything feel more dynamic. Visually, the game looks a lot better than the previous entries. Environments feel more vibrant and detailed. The character sprites have better shading on them too. The "object-slapping" mechanic seems pretty pointless, lol. And the controls for moving around are still kinda iffy. The school environment seems like a mixed bag so far. It's better than DR1 for sure, but DR2's more open environments added a lot of variety. Hopefully DRV3 also adds more variety to the map. Surprisingly, the characters are a lot more entertaining than I originally thought they would be. Kaede's actually pretty funny, lol. She feels like a mix between Naegi's kindheartedness and Hinata's narcissistic personality. Saihara seems to act like the "Komaeda" of DRV3 (follows the MC around and shares his insight). His voice seems a little off (I'm playing with Japanese audio), but hopefully I get used to it. I mean, I used to hate Hinata's voice, but now I'm okay with it. But the character that seems the most similar to Komaeda is Rantaro (personality wise). But I don't think Rantaro's as much of a psychopath as Komaeda (nor is he as gay, lol). Robo Naegi Keebo's pretty interesting too. Since I avoided a lot of DRV3 stuff prior to the game coming out, I wasn't aware of what personality type each character would have. By judging the key visuals for the game, I thought that Keebo would be a cold-hearted robot who lacked human emotions. Turns out that he's the complete opposite. Talking about opposites, Gonta's personality was a 180 from his design. Out of all the characters, I hate Iruma the most. Seems like she's the new Saionji of the game, lol. Hopefully she dies in the first three chapters Monokuma's VA change is pretty apparent, but hopefully I get used to it. Since Monokuma was barely there in the DR3 anime, hearing his voice in DRV3 is making me realize how different the voice is. Also, the Monokubs/Monokumarz are pretty annoying so far. The most interesting thing about them is that Yamadera Kouichi voice acts all of them XD And as for the story The beginning was really weird. First it shows the 16 students as normal students who forgot their Ultimate talent (or maybe they never had one to begin with, idk). And then the same events repeat again with them all having Ultimate talents, except Poor man's Komaeda Rantaro. Ehh, I'm sure things will make sense later. |

The significant other and I shall be playing it today as soon as he gets home from class! :D That being said, however, we played through the demo and thought it was pretty good...so, we're really super HYPED to be playing through the actual game over the next week or so. Anyway, my favorite DRV3 characters so far are as follows... + Miu Iruma (Ultimate Inventor) + Tsumugi Shirogane (Ultimate Cosplayer) + Himiko Yumeno (Ultimate Magician) |

Judging from what I've heard of the Japanese version so far I think everybody sounds great (as usual, the Dangan Ronpa games always have great seiyuu casts), Saihara included (even if you can kind of hear his voice actor is a woman). I doubt Hayashibara will ever be able to top Ogata's performance in SDR2 though, at least her voice doesn't make my ovaries tingle the way Ogata's does. |

I can't decide between getting it for PS4 or Vita. I have the previous 2 on Vita and I love my Vita, but it looks really sexy on PS4. So knowing me, i'll be debating this question for the next 4 months and then will buy it, and it will sit on my shelf and not get played for another 4 months... Yeah, this sounds about right. |

There's a free DLC titled as "HQ Audio Pack" which improves the audio quality of the game, and adds the Japanese voiceover. Without the DLC, the audio quality on the Vita is really bad. They had to heavily compress the audio to not make the file size of the game be huge.GoldenDevilGamer said: Evenlimbo said: I can't decide between getting it for PS4 or Vita.

Apparently there's also a DLC option for those who want to play the game with French subtitles. https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/games/addons/danganronpa-v3-french-text-language-pack/cid=UP1063-PCSE01100_00-DANGANV3VITADL00 It's a cool choice, but I'm not gonna bother downloading it since a) it's a waste of space as I already know English anyway and b) I suspect it's just going to be a translation of the English translation instead of the original text. Besides, I'm so used to playing video games in English that I think it'd feel weird to switch at this point. |

You kinda have to change the wording in games like this, since, you know, a lot of them wouldn't make sense in English. The only really strange choice is how one character went from "Ultimate Folklorist" to "Ultimate Anthropologist", but apparently, anthropology was a huge part of his skill set, anyways. It's not like their censoring anything. They left the "motivation" scene in UDG untouched. (Turns out the bit about the little girl "actually being 18" was in the Japanese version, too. Sorry I mislead you guys!) |

So I'm midway into chapter 2 (the victim was shown) and I got a lot to say about this game, both spoilers and non-spoilers. The game is really stylish for sure. The user interface, the layout of the word during the trials, everything screams style. It's not Persona 5 level stylish, but it comes close. And the cartoony and zany style of the previous games is present and amped-up to 11. The victim's reveal in the second chapter is a good example without spoiling much. Also, the first case was pretty complex and thoroughly enjoyable. Easily the best first case from a Danganronpa game. The trials are longer than the previous game too (intermissions between each cases make a return too). If each trial takes an average of 2-2.5 hours in Danganronpa 2, it will take 2.5-3 hours in Danganronpa V3. Also, those Scrum Debates are fun as hell! That music was gold. Hell, all the OST in this game is gold! Beautiful Lie and the new Closing Argument theme is top-notch. And it's not just about how good the music is, but also how well the music is placed. Literally, the right track plays at the right time, and it makes things more tense and thrilling. As someone who spent 9 months avoiding DRV3 spoilers, I'm surprised that I was able to avoid the spoiler about Kaede not being the protagonist. Her being the killer in the first trial was a huge, huge reveal. I don't think I've every truly felt despair whenever I played a DR game, but DRV3 changed that for me. And Rantaro being the victim was also unexpected. I thought he'll be more of an important character. I realized prior to starting the trial that it's likely that Kaede will get blamed for the murder since he seemed the most likely. Since the case was sort-of like a locked-room case, the murder could've only happened by using the vents, and the only person that fit that category was Kaede. But I wasn't actually expecting her to actually be the murderer. The switch in protagonists in between the trial caught me off guard. That's when I new shit was about to hit the fan. Oh well, I'm really excited to see how the story continues. I'll probably post my views on chapter 2 after I finish it. DieTown said: I really wished I made a save before attempting that escape mini-game. I wasn't expecting it to have limited tries, lol. And the worst part is that I actually made it to the last gate, but you need a couple of people if you want to open that gate since the gate is in a position where you're bound to get hit (so you basically use each character to slightly open the gate more and more).I've tried the super hard platforming minigame like 30 times already. |

Well I just finished it and... hoooly shit that ending lmao, I'm not sure I've ever seen anything like that in fiction before. Utterly absurd but I loved it for it xd I think up until that point it's more or less the same level as DR2 but... yeah the last trial takes it to a new level in more ways than one Funny how I ended up giving a higher score to DR3 than either of Dies Irae or SubaHibi for this year but oh well, can't argue with results I will say this though this has to be the last Danganronpa game after that ending though, but I can't think of a better way to end the franchise |

So, I finished the second chapter (which was great) and the third chapter (which was average). Is it just me, or does the third chapter in every Danganronpa game tend to be the weakest chapter? Anyways, I'm still really liking the game lot, particularly its characters and style. Spike Chunsoft really hit the nail with the characters. Almost all of them are really, really good and interesting. I'm not gonna judge all of the characters until the end since one of them could be a mastermind, lol. But I do want to talk about a certain character... Holy crap, Saihara is easily the best Danganronpa protagonist ever. For once I'm not playing a total dumbass. In the previous games, Naegi and Hinata tend to be pretty dumb at times. They tend to miss obvious clues and reveals, which really ruins the experience for me at time. And in both DR1 and 2, there's always that one "know-it-all" character that basically never lets the MC stand out. In the first game, Kirigiri basically knows everything, hints the most obvious stuff in the trials, and then says "You know what I'm talking about, right Naegi?". And in the second game, it was Komaeda who was the "know-it-all". It didn't matter how smart Naegi or Hinata is, because they'll never get the full credit. Saihara on the other hand is the smartest of the group, and it's clearly apparent. Considering how he's the Ultimate Detective, people depend on him and trust his instincts. And there's no asspull character who knows everything prior to a trial starting (though I still love Komaeda and Kirigiri, lol). Plus, Saihara's got a lot of complexity to him as a character. He's insecurities makes sense and his growth as a person is apparent. I'm so glad that others appreciate him as a character too, since he ranked first for a DRV3 character poll on MyNavi There's a lot of other great characters too, with Momota, Ouma and Keebo being my favorites, alongside with Saihara. Momota's a true bro, Ouma makes me laugh my ass off whenever he makes fun of Keebo and Iruma, and Keebo's is a joke and I love him for that. Seriously, Keebo's a waste of a robot that thinks too highly of himself. Every time he says "Dou desu ka" with that stupid sprite, I fucking die. I'm sure Keebo hates captchas since that "I'm not a robot" must trigger him. The entire internet might seem robophobic to him, lol. Chapter 2 was really, really interesting though. At first, the case seemed like a really hard one, but it made more sense later on. The case had me guessing until the very end. But the victim was a really well-handled character. The culprit was alright too. Also, I totally saw Harukawa's Ultimate Assassin title coming. Note to self: Every chapter 3 in a Danganronpa game features two victims. Also, every chapter 3 in a Danganronpa game is a disappointment. Seriously, the culprit was such a joke and the kilings weren't as elaborate. And I wasn't a big fan of the culprit and victims either. The trial truly ended midway, but they dragged it out for no reason. For once I actually felt like losing the Scrum Debate since Saihara was making a mistake by dragging it out. Though the trial and killing part was pretty underwhelming, everything else was fine. Harukawa and Yumeno are now pretty likable characters and I liked they're developement. Momota's whole ghost gag was actually pretty funny. Keebo constantly shining his light with those "DOU DESU KA?" was 10/10. And Iruma was called a cum dumpster by Ouma. Thanks to that, the chapter redeemed itself. |

GoldenDevilGamer said: Huh, I thought 2 was the weakest one by far. I figured out the culprit and the vast majority of how the crime was committed before the class trial had even started, which is not something I would normally be able to do in Danganronpa so it was a bit too easy and predictable for me. But yeah 2 and 3 are the relatively unimpressive trialsSo, I finished the second chapter (which was great) and the third chapter (which was average). Is it just me, or does the third chapter in every Danganronpa game tend to be the weakest chapter? The second half of the game is actually brilliant though. The 4th trial is probably the most heartbreaking one in any Danganronpa game and I just felt terrible over how that concludes. Then the 5th one starts to really push the limits of what is even theoretically possible to figure out on your own due to how absurd the solution is, but it was awesome (reminded me of the Komaeda/Chiaki trial I mean I figured out the culprit on my own but the truth of the world... not so much |

This already looks like a really interesting case due to... the use of the virtual world. I already have a culprit in mind, but I'm not certain about it. Whoever the culprit is, I'll be pretty sad either way since I really like all of the remaining characters (maybe except Shirogane). But oh boy, the fifth case sounds like hype. Considering how my favorite chapter in a Danganronpa game tends to be the fifth one, I'm really excited to see how it goes. |

Furthermore the crime was only plausible for someone that had information of how the magic trick would play out (roughly at least) since before it was shown to the others. And since Kirumi was the one responsible for "fixing the curtains" a.k.a. opening the window as she pleases without anyone else noticing... I mean you could put two and two together pretty easily. The exact specifics of the magic trick and the piranhas was a bit less obvious but all that really matters is that Himiko somehow escaped from the tank. The specifics on that couldn't really change much regarding who the culprit of the crime was to me; that was a different mystery altogether But in any case yeah the last two trials are what really stood out in this game for their own reasons. The 5th one is a bit like the 5th one in DR2 in terms of complexity, and the last one is something Danganronpa has never even remotely done before -.^ |

I am just into Trial 4 but I have got to say that this game has TONS of callbacks and repeated tropes from its predecessors. I don't know if it's intentional or not but it is kinda ruining some moments for me. Safe to say, Chapter 1's twist was the stand-out so far. But I really, really love the cast this time round. Chapter 4 is turning out to be real hard because of how difficult it is to pinpoint my suspicion on anyone; except for one red herring. Getting all hyped up for the shitstorm of finale as stated by many guys on the net. I have seen only one tiny spoiler image but I wish my expectations still gets defied. |

Lol I've played through the entire game and the ending sucks... =T The first trial was a very interesting twist. The second trial was alright. The third trial was quite interesting. The fourth trial was also somewhat interesting. The fith trial was insane. The final trial was actually so bad. |

To buy or not to buy the PS4 version instead of waiting for the Vita one? That is the question |

So, I finished Chapter 4 and 5, and they were definitely top-tier Danganronpa chapters. Although Chapter 4 was kinda predictable and not as emotional as I thought it would be, the trial was still a lot of fun thanks to Ouma. Felt bad for the victim, but felt bad for everyone else too since the "truth" was hard to handle. Momota got a bit irritating during the trial. Just let Saihara do his thing, lol. Also, the use of the virtual world was a nice way to make the chapter feel different. Especially since DRV3 lacks a bit of originality in the other chapters. And thank god the Monokubs are gone... This is so far the best chapter is the game, however, it was also lacking in originality. This was clearly very similar chapter 5 from the second game. Ouma is literally Komaeda, just funnier and less charismatic. But the fact that the victim was unidentifiable during the entire trial made it a lot of fun. I guessed the victim from the start, but I still enjoyed how it played out. Unlike Komaeda's plan from DR2, Ouma's plan was pretty useless, thanks to Saihara. Also loved how Ouma played Monokuma and how Monokuma basically joined the trial. If the mastermind is one of the survivors, then I'm guessing it's Shirogane. I'll be happy as long as it's not Junko for the nth time. If it weren't for my midterms, I would've been binge-playing his. I don't think I'll be able to start the last chapter until Tuesday ;_; But anyways, I'll try to get the platinum trophy within two weeks. |

In the end I said FUCK IT and decided to just watch a playthrough while waiting for the game to come out in my town. HOW THE FLYING FIDGETY FUCK is fucking RANTARO the first victim. Somebody already spoiled the killer for me and I was surprised by that as well... but I really didn't expect Rantaro out of all people to be the first victim. I'm barely one chapter in and I've already lost one of my favorite boys. HOW. FUCK YOU KODAKA YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD |

Comic_Sans said: The shounen magazine VS Donald Trump joke we were talking about just an hour ago? Okay. I thought we started talking about a different joke for a moment. As for the victim, I think Kodaka is trying to subvert the expectations people have for the surviving cast members. |

Comments on the ending: This was one of a kind ending. Period. I think for that itself the creator should be commended. But the question arises now would be: Why in the actual fuck would a creator wager his works just to echo some cliched message? Did Kodaka wanted to feel D E S P A I R after trashing his own foundations? My mind is very confused after playing this so I will come up with better remarks later. Oh and BTW, DON'T PLAY THIS GAME BEFORE FINISHING AT LEAST DR1 AND SRD2. Still fuck the anime. |

This game is going to have a such a polarizing repsonse to its final chapter, but I am fully on the side of adoring it. I also want to say without a doubt V3 has my favorite protagonist in the franchise. I liked them alot before but chapter 6 they did stuff naegi and hinata never would have. I also stand the rival character Kokichi oma blows nagito and togami out of the water both in characterization and entertainment. Really I think the main cast of V3 is the best in the entire franchise even if I find the overall cast weaker. They are all just so much more fleshed out and relatable especially shuuichi. GoldenDevilGamer said: So, I finished the second chapter (which was great) and the third chapter (which was average). Is it just me, or does the third chapter in every Danganronpa game tend to be the weakest chapter? Anyways, I'm still really liking the game lot, particularly its characters and style. Spike Chunsoft really hit the nail with the characters. Almost all of them are really, really good and interesting. I'm not gonna judge all of the characters until the end since one of them could be a mastermind, lol. But I do want to talk about a certain character... Holy crap, Saihara is easily the best Danganronpa protagonist ever. For once I'm not playing a total dumbass. In the previous games, Naegi and Hinata tend to be pretty dumb at times. They tend to miss obvious clues and reveals, which really ruins the experience for me at time. And in both DR1 and 2, there's always that one "know-it-all" character that basically never lets the MC stand out. In the first game, Kirigiri basically knows everything, hints the most obvious stuff in the trials, and then says "You know what I'm talking about, right Naegi?". And in the second game, it was Komaeda who was the "know-it-all". It didn't matter how smart Naegi or Hinata is, because they'll never get the full credit. Saihara on the other hand is the smartest of the group, and it's clearly apparent. Considering how he's the Ultimate Detective, people depend on him and trust his instincts. And there's no asspull character who knows everything prior to a trial starting (though I still love Komaeda and Kirigiri, lol). Plus, Saihara's got a lot of complexity to him as a character. He's insecurities makes sense and his growth as a person is apparent. I'm so glad that others appreciate him as a character too, since he ranked first for a DRV3 character poll on MyNavi Shuuichi's popularity is a very relieving thing, i was worried he'd face backlash cause people wanted kaede as the protagonist and they would feel jipped. But thankfully Shuuichi stand on his own really well. I think hes by far the best protaognist cause he was very believable in his relationships with maki and kaito and you really just wanted to root for the guy after all the bullshit he suffers. I wont say too much, but chapter 6 elevates shuuichi to legendary status, you will understand. 6e6e6e said: This might actually be the worst danganronpa to start with, without going too much into it you will be completely and utterly dumbfounded by the game chapter 5 and up. Its not even like small callbacks or anything, not only does it spoil almost every twist in the first 2 games it completly relies on your knowledge of it too.can I play this without going through previous games? |

I finished chapter one Kodaka is all I have to say. Please kill off the inventor chick and I might hate you slightly less... just kidding, I love you no matter what JizzyHitler said: He's cute and one of my favorites so far. Blowing the maddest madman Nagito Komaeda out of the water though?

Comic_Sans said: I know its hard to believe but he really does. You'll come to understand but theres just so much more depth to him that wasnt present in the past rivals and he creates a dynamic simply unique to his personality. It also helps that hes just funny as shit and genuinely unpredictable cause hes not brought down by being tied to some hope gimmick. JizzyHitler said: He's cute and one of my favorites so far.

Also even though i imagine you are, trust me, a rando on the internet, give Shuuichi his chance, theres a very good reason hes such a popular character despite being placed in such a stacked against him situation of people potentially hating his role. He is without a doubt my favorite protagonist |
