I don't know if this game's getting localized completely intact.
 
Particularly by the character's father.

Nothing all that new though (besides the molestation) since we had whatshisface Soda and his father beating him up. Oh and I guess its probably one of the girls this time though.

Hm, yeah, NISA is going to dance around this touchy subject

I'll just do a rundown of the scene:

Pink remembers her past in which she was frequently abused by her father. This makes her have an emotional breakdown, after which Green thrashes her for "going against orders." She then hugs her, saying things will be fine if Pink follows orders. I'm getting conflicting accounts, but apparently the father went all the way in his abuse, too.

Image (not graphic, but yeah, the implications are seedy):

Bah, to highlight or not? I don't want to spoil myself, but I'm also curious and may not even get to see it in a localized version.

So this is the despair of dealing with a Danganronpa game the moment it releases in a language you can't read...

Regarding the above,
if NISA does indeed localize AE, couldn't they just dance around the implied molestation notion, and localize it as her just receiving abuse from her Dad over the years? It wouldn't necessarily be pretty, but it could work. And to not imply the molestation, they could have that CG removed from the localized game entirely.

It's still touchy though; it'll be interesting to see how they localize it (If they do at all).
 
Wait a second there?

Is that Asahina's brother?

DR is going to give you work forever ;) Byakuya seems to be one of the only lucky characters to have plot armor lol

Chapter 3 Ending Spoiler:
lol are they going to do what is considered taboo in Full Metal Alchemist? The streamer said they are going to try and revive a certain someone.

Answer (not sure if it is considered a spoiler):
Yea.----
 
There seems to be something that has tumblr all up in a rage.

In a boss fight, Komaru is strapped down and endures a tickling machine which turns into a minigame. A touching minigame.
 
I hope they don't censor anything when they bring it over, it's already a game rated M, I don't see why books and other mediums can tackle these themes but video games can't.

A girl who was molested by her father chained up Komaru and used a tickling/molesting(?) torture machine. A boss fight between her and Syou ensues where as you damage her, she loses pieces of clothing.

Think I'm going to stop watching the stream so I actually have some game left to discover. Really enjoyed what I've seen so far.

...This game is going to get slammed when it comes stateside.

It looked more like a satanic ritual to me, but I just caught a glimpse before the image changed.

(shrug) I could be recast, I don't know.
I mean, technically it's possible, but I just don't see why they'd recast you without seeing if you'd be available first, especially since you've been in two games now and works inevitably garner your own share of fans.

Oh right, I don't really know how they get VAs and stuff.

This game will definitely be lambasted by reviews for some of its content lol.

Took one more look at the stream.
That post-Genocider fight stuff was great, with those incredibly coincidental injuries on Komaeda. His Hope face was fucking terrifying.

I think we've gone through worse in terms of lewdness. Still waiting if the story will be great somehow. Its getting harder to resist these spoilers. xD

...Welp.

Chapter one (fairly major) spoilers:
Yuuta, we hardly knew ye. I expected him to make it across the bridge and then get zapped, but nice touch with the collapse and then him swimming.

This game has sooooooooooooooooooo much dialogue/text.

And pretty much all of it has been voiced. That's crazy.

I wonder what the budget was like on this, especially in comparison to the other two games.

Obviously it wasn't a massive AAA budget, but the models look nice and the art design is fantastic. More developers could learn to be more artistic instead of just pumping tech.

There also some animated scenes animated by the same studio that did the Danganronpa anime too, that's a new thing for this series. It definitely feels like they went all out for this.

these little facts kinda got me worried....not about the heavy themes but about really pander-y fan service shit.

they better than that....not like a whole lot better (mikan) but definitely better.

Yeah, it's pretty crazy. So far the only stuff that hasn't been voiced is the optional dialogues you can get while exploring an area.

Finished chapter 1. I will say the game's pacing feels slightly wonky so far - I can't put my finger on it, but something about the gameplay:cutscene ratio is off. Maybe just a little too much dialogue?

Ehm, there shouldn't be any issue with that, considering it's just a description of the problem. I mean it's not like they show any explicit scenes of
child pornography
or let us control the perpetrator
while he does the abuse
, nor does the game glorify the act of
child abuse
.
