orenronen posted:The soundtrack for the game is available on amazon.co.jp. Shipping can be a little expensive (I was lucky to have a friend who visited Japan bring me a copy), but it's very much worth it - we're talking about a 3 CD soundtrack with more than 100 tracks. A lot of the DR1 music is also included. I'm going to Japan for two weeks with a friend over the holidays, is it likely something I could physically get in a store?

orenronen posted:Definitely. If you're visiting Akihabara, pretty much any location that sells CDs will have copies, plus they're setting up a temporary specialty Dangan Ronpa store between December 22 and January 20 (with a 2 day new year break). This is perfect, thanks a ton.  Waffleman_ posted:Yeah, I'm happy about it too. I don't want to be a dick, but like, who cares?

dog days are over posted:I really like how all the characters have their own symbols, even if they don't really play a part in the story of the game. Our protagonist's symbol caught my eye; Leon, the first killer, had a bloody skull as his symbol. If trends hold, that means we'll be killing a whole lot of people.

His hair is more like a shrimp. I hope Hanamura is smooth as silk and charms Chiaki, to the disdain of the thread.

lotus circle posted:Possible, but doubtful. I'm pretty sure that is what the game creators are trying to do. Create and fuel expectations based on what happened in the first game, then turn around and do something completely different. If Sonia dies first or we find out she tried to frame someone like Hanamura or Hajime, it'll just be a sort of "oh so she's just like Maizono!" sort of deal. That's what we're expecting, but it's more likely we're going to see a lot of the parallels to DR1 subverted. I think it would be pretty boring to rehash the first game and make the obvious suspects the culprits. If Sonia turns out to be a murderer I think it would be a disappointing and boring twist, because we've already seen it with Maizono before. Maizono never killed anyone.

meristem posted:Uh, sorry, no. In my case, I think he's an utter creep after I had to deal with his kind many too many times both in high school and after it. In the memory of all those creeps, I hope he dies. Real soon. And painfully, too. Look, I really do know what you mean, but it's not really fair for people to be calling him a sexual predator and the like after a conversation that takes less then 20 seconds in the game itself. Like, it was creepy, sure, but the reaction is more then a little over the top.

orenronen posted:Even if you don't, for some reason, consider something that's only revealed after one finishes the game a spoiler, the fact that I left those ??? in the main menu unexplained in the first update should've suggested to you that I do. In addition, I already said as much regarding this very topic earlier in the thread, when someone else made the same mistake. Without wanting to get into specifics obviously, have you decided what order you'll be doing them in yet? Possibly (I believe) the second one first?

C-Euro posted:I don't know, I feel like the first game went a little more quickly at the beginning but perhaps that's because I jumped in halfway. Actually playing the game, the first chapter was about the same length as the next major event of this one. That might've just been the speed I played at though.

Serious Frolicking posted:In the first game, everything took place in a sealed environment. There were limited opportunities to get rid of evidence and few weapons. That isn't the normally the case on the island, because anyone can dispose of evidence via the ground or sea. Monomi's rules say that you can't litter, or something to that effect. We can't say for certain yet, but that might include disposing of evidence in the sea.

zetsubous posted:This is one thing that's really bothering me right now. I had actually been operating on the "DR2 is a prequel" theory (which has obviously now been ruined), but if this really is post-DR1 Togami, why would he ignore the rules they themselves established in the first game of not letting anyone guard anything alone? Oddly enough he wouldn't let Nidai go off on his own either. Comedy option he just wants to get on the good side of the girls.

lotus circle posted:If Kuzuryuu was plotting murder it would be smarter for him to actually be in the lodge with everyone else, so he could have an accounted timeline during the murder. Away from the group he is without alibi and is the easiest target for accusation because he could move around freely without anyone being able to say "I saw Kuzuryuu in X place, five minutes before the murder." We also have Nanami to account for, who was in front of the lodge while the party was going on with Monomi. There's no reason to think she's lying from what was seen in my opinion. Devil's Advocate, there's also the line of thinking that since he was nowhere near the party, how could he even be a suspect?

Don't forget Monobear's claim that there's a person here who shouldn't be. Who? Why? None of them know, maybe not even the person themself. Or maybe they're there to kill everyone. Who knows! That's not even considering anyone having a reason to hate someone from before. Naegi and Maizono remembered each other from before, so it's entirely possible something similar is the case here. Though we can't know until we begin to investigate. Cuntellectual fucked around with this message at 07:09 on Feb 22, 2013 |

orenronen posted:I didn't quite notice it before but -- Sorry.  I have nearly beaten the game, but as a result of my abysmal reading of Japanese, I quite honestly have no idea why or how a fair amount of the game happened. If I'm speculating, my guess is as accurate as anyone else's and if it wouldn't be I wouldn't post. Though I'll still stop posting in the thread entirely if you feel it's for the best. I love the game (or what I understood of it) and really don't want to hurt the LP.

Orenonen, by the way, have you decided how many updates you expect to split the rest of this chapter into? About 4-5 was what I was assuming, but if you're going for every detail I'd have no idea how long that'd take.

Suzuki Method posted:Hate to ask, but anyone reading this who's already played DR2, fan art of Owari for me? Oh sure, that's probl- Suzuki Method posted:(worksafe noncreepy) Yeah that'll cut down your options somewhat. Perhaps unsurprisingly, she, Chiaki and Nagito tend to have 'that kind' of fanart. Seriously though, this was the best thing I could find, a picture of Oowari with Hinata and Nidai that's spoiler free and as far as I can tell not terribly offensive. http://i.imgur.com/JpmIyL1.jpg Catastrophics posted:Actually I meant to ask earlier, but has anybody gathered together a set of spoiler free Dangan Ronpa 2 avatars like the collection someone made in the first thread?

Fighting-Fefnir posted:I think we talked about fujoshi in the DR1 thread some specifically because it's a distinctly Japanese thing with no real direct meanings in English. Basically, it's someone who becomes a hermit, rarely if ever leaving their room, as a response to the immense and pervasive societal pressures of succeeding that Japanese culture instills, if I recall. You're thinking of hikikomori. Fujoshi is something completely different. It relates to yaoi fandom. Loathe as I am to know this, in brief, it's a self-deprecating term for said fans that tends to imply shipping. It's also a pun in Japanese.   orenronen posted:I'd usually agree about the awkward usage of a word in a translation, but "despair" and "hope" are important enough keywords that I'm keeping them unless there's a very good reason not to. As said, "despair-inducing" (or sometimes simple "despairing") is my regular translation for "zetsubou-teki", which is how you turn despair into an adjective in Japanese. Speaking personally, I never heard anyone actually use the term in Japan, just like I don't think I've ever heard someone use the word 'despair' to describe their mood in Canada so I'd agree that it's probably on purpose.

I double checked what Orenonen described it as for completness' sake, so here we are.Orenonen in DR1's second trial part 2 posted:Syo is a self-proclaimed fujoshi. That's the female version of the otaku, usually literally translated as "rotten girl". Fujoshi like obsessing over male anime characters and read and draw manga involving them loving each other. Syo also strives to become a Kifujin. That's the term used for fujoshi who remain fangirls even as they grow older. Kifujin is a pun on a word that sounds the same and means "a noblewoman", but written with the "fu" character that means "rotten" - the same one as in "fujoshi" itself.

Yeah, even in more rural areas like Ibiraki, English characters are pretty common. As a random example, say 7/11. The signs on the store are in English. zetsubous posted:Well, don't mislead anyone -- there is a sign outside the door that says the name of the store in English (which is actually Seven i Holdings, for whatever reason) but it's not like the signs inside the store are in English. Yeah I worded that badly. I have no idea why it's Seven & i Holdings though, I swear, I checked every single one I passed.  My only guess is that they weren't ever operated from 7 to 11?

Twiddy posted:That's the beautiful thing. It doesn't feel like we're over complicating the first trial, it just looks like it was that much of a clusterfuck. The game's graduated to overcomplicated messes early because it's a sequel. Hell, I half feel we're gonna get a corpse moving reveal, depending on which one of the many different potential murderers is accused. It doesn't hurt that a two or three days between updates makes everyone sift through every detail as closely as possible.

By this time in DR1 we knew without a shadow of a doubt that Leon had been responsible, but in here our most likely culprit could still be a red herring for somebody else.
