Perhaps Monokuma's dub anime VA, Greg Ayres, has been promoted to game duty?
(Greg's a great guy and I've chilled with both him and his brother, but yeah... they need to bring back Brian Beacock.)

Maybe just under NDA? I doubt he was recast since that PSX trailer used his voice in it.

Let's keep in mind that there's also a Frnech translation going on this time around.
Please no DR3 Monokuma. Hell, if Monokuma has to be recasted, cast Faulerro (the guy who voiced like half of Danganronpa Abdridged Thing).

I love Greg in Chrono Crusade. He's excellent there.
Could just be under NDA.

They also just might not have started actually recording yet. I mean, the game just came out in Japan. Who knows if they've even fully translated the game yet, never mind started voice acting.
too early
The game comes out in a few months. Even if they haven't started recording, actors have definitely been approached.
what makes you think it is coming out in a few months?
nis america is in california. funimation is in texas. nis america isn't going to fly in talent from another state when that voice actor originally appeared in the anime offshoot of the original work.
I already posted evidence that it's targeted for this spring and I never said they were gonna fly in funimation talent?

What are the chances this gets a PC release this year in English?
It's gonna be a hard couple of months waiting for this localization. As long as I don't accidentally search up Danganronpa on Youtube by accident I should be fine. >_>
Danganronpa 1 and 2 have sold over 100k each on steam, UDG is coming to PC same day as the PS4 version, and as far as other Spike Chunsoft games go both ZTD and Nonary Games also got or will get day 1 PC versions. An english PC release of V3 is far more likely than not I'd imagine considering all of this, likely won't be published by NIS America though so it's up to Spike Chunsoft to confirm it (if it exists).

I dunno. I've talked to Beacock a few times, and he doesn't seem to be the type to lie about this stuff. He's always open about roles when he can confirm them, and unless he really wanted to keep his involvement a surprise, I think he wouldn't have said anything at all.
sorry - it's not spring 2017. that seems to be an error.

This is true despair
Source?
danganronpa 1 2
That newsletter had V3 listed as spring after the March date for reload was announced. Unless you have any source that the newsletter had mistaken information, this is only speculation and should be treated as such.
a european newsletter isn't going to reveal the release timing ahead of the nis america american branch announcing it through a press release. i am not giving you speculation.
A company's newsletter would reveal the release timing. That's literally exactly what it would do if it shows that. Your whole argument is "nuh uh I don't think so because reasons."
no, if they were to specify it, it wouldn't come from nisa europe as the first clarification of the release timing.
my argument is that it isn't that timing and that is not speculation.
Yeah so Fall 2017 is looking more likely.
I wonder how they'll approach voice acting this time around. There are so many JPN VAs to go around, but the number of dub actors is noticeably smaller. I think they'll be a bit of a reuse this time around. Hopefully not too much since the new DR cast's appeal is hearing brand new voices.

Yeah I'm not sure why it would come out in Spring with Reload and UDG coming in Spring and Summer. Also it kills me that I'm trying to look for some of the OST and I see on the side "ALL EXECUTIONS AND ENDING REVEALED". If someone does a full ost playlist I would appreciate it. I only have a partial one atm.
DRV3 soundtrack coming February 24th. 5 CDs split across two releases ("White" - 2 CDs, mostly non-trial/early game music; "Black" - 3 CDs, mostly trial/late-game/post-game bonus music).
Track listing is over here, though it looks like it includes the execution names so don't look if you can read Japanese. (That last CD looks to be primarily bonus game music though so I wouldn't read into that one too much.)
I've been loving the music in this one so I'm definitely in.

Guys, don't listen to the OST on youtube. Some fishy thumbnails in recommended videos.
Yes I know I should've stayed away but I'm an impulsive idiot it was bound to happen lmfao

It would still add stuff to your recommended videos. Unless you're planning to not go to Youtube again for another six months afterwards.
Wat
?
I dunno. Assuming NISA uses Bang Zoom again, then there should be a good pool of actors to use. They're always among the first to get any new talent as they're breaking into dubbing, and a lot of their recent shows have had a lot of new blood, both as named parts and as extras. If they get Tony Oliver to direct again (he did 1 and 2, though oddly there's no director listed in UDG's credits), the game's all but guaranteed to have a lot of fresh faces. He sprinkles newcomers into practically all of his projects.
Like, here's me spitballing voices whom I think could fit and who have been in other BZ stuff real quick:
Kaede - Xanthe Huynh
Rantaro - Vic Migogna
Kokichi - Kyle MrCarley
Miu - Sarah Anne Williams
Ryoma - Paul St Peter
Shuichi - Sara Cravens
Korekiyo - Ray Chase (Whoever it is is gonna need a lot of vocal range)
Gonta - Edward Bosco
Kiibo - Zach Aguilar
Tsumugi - Alexis Tipton
Kirumi - Laura Post
Kaito - Chris Niosi
Tenko - G.K. Bowes
Himiko - Brina Palencia
Angie - Sandy Fox
Maki - Erica Mendez
Monocubs - Kirk Thornton
That's just people who are at least somewhat established, yet that's almost a completely new cast, save for Mendez. But her regular voice isn't anything like her boy voice, anyway.

Hope.

DR, DR2 and DRAE are on Spotify. Browsing YouTube is just asking for spoilers at this point.
Thanks for fixing that!

I think DRV3 is probably my favorite, but I can't evenly compare them because I caught all of DR1 and part of DR2 through LPs back in the day. DRV3 is the first one I played unspoiled and start to finish.
That's not to say DRV3 doesn't have its problems or areas where it's weaker than the other games, because it absolutely does. The overall plot did not work for me at all, for example. But the presentation is top notch and I think it has some of the best individual moments in the series.

It's very divisive. People either love it or hate it, and I'm certainly closer to the latter.
I liked most of them. Scrum Debate isn't really much of a puzzle/challenge but it's extremely fun and gets the blood pumping. Hangman's Gambit no longer penalizes you for pieces colliding so it's significantly less obnoxious.
