Considering that this releases in less than 4 months, I expect a trailer with all the VAs before the end of the year. I wonder who are they going to be, as Danganronpa seiyuus are usually high profile. Maybe Ogata will return to voice Kiibo (I can't believe they actually named him like that).
Typically, they don't.

Official Spike Chunsoft Twitter has posted a picture of the LE.
Main Website has been updated with character portraits on the top page, and a page detailing the LE.
Seeing the calendar reminded me that they consider Chisa to be the protagonist of DR3: Despair.
well as for western danganronpa stuff, there is probably going to be an announcement soon. i don't think spike chunsoft has the kind of presence in the west you might think they have though - they had to rely on aksys for exist archive and nisa for grand kingdom. even their game they published themselves for psn had to have the physical version made by limited run games.
there are three timeframes for a localization, as per the history of nisa/spike chunsoft titles:
1. february (danganronpa 1)
2. september (danganronpa 2/danganronpa another episode)
3. june (grand kingdom)
june would be a dream scenario. february would be super comfortable, and september is probably a sweet spot.
The way that localisation is normally done with niche titles is that the game's translation is contracted out to another publisher or third party company to start the translation and dubbing.
It almost never completes in time for the ship date for the Japan release.
I see where you're coming from, but I think the V3 shots look fine.

Seeing the calendar reminded me that DR3 exists and is considered canon. 😑

She pretty much was the de facto Despair protagonist until
Mukuro stuck needles in her skull and made her into a child killer
No one's posted it in this thread and it seems to be the most active V3 one, so:
I got pointed out the funny characters in the background of this image:
Box art. Some media via the Amazon JP page.

How mysterious. I spy Hifumi on the far left and Togami(?) on the right too.

i'm certain it's placeholder but i can't say i'm sure why given the cast's sprites seem to be completed. maybe they're just trying to be cute

They're definitely placeholders. That image was first seen in a Famitsu article from way back in December but it's really difficult to make out Asahina and Kirigiri in the scan.
It's probably nothing, but I tweeted this with some emojis and Karen Strassman liked/retweeted it. The tweet is here.
She's followed me for years now, but we never interact. This is entirely out of the ordinary. Just looking at Wikipedia, she hasn't been in any of the DR animes or games thus far.
That could always be it, but then she never retweets anything like this. In general all she really tweets about is her work and quotes she likes and stuff.
Yeah, who knows. I figured it was worth noting.

If anyone's particularly hungry for new info leading up to this week's Famitsu, the official site's started posting some of the retailer specific preorder bonuses. Perhaps some of the designs and new full-body sprites can lead to some speculation, lol.
Famitsu magazine preview.
Voice cast:
Megumi Ogata's name isn't one of them.
Voice cast:
Only ones associated with their characters thus far are Sayaka Kanda for Kaede Akamatsu and TARAKO for Monokuma. Koichi Yamadera's name is listed 5 times for some reason; probably the Monokuma kid things.
Megumi Ogata's name isn't one of them.

Sadly not really as much info in Famitsu as I'd expected this week? They go over the school rules and main gameplay which is pretty much the same as usual. I think the only new rule is "if there are two people left remaining, the game ends", which I don't remember from previous games. The Monokumas each have their own mechs which they use to punish any students who break the rules. Each student has their own lab themed around their Ultimate Talent as well. And the last new thing they mention is that during class trials, more than one person can now speak at once. More info promised for next week.
Famitsu hasn't confirmed which voice belongs to which character, so I guess we can have fun playing "match the VA to the character". And I'm not sure if we're gonna be, like, due for a new thread anytime in the near future or anything? I've just been tacking any new info onto here.

Is that different from the previously confirmed Scrum Discussions?

Not sure. Have we seen a screenshot of that? The screen they have here just shows Himiko, Angie, and Tenko all denying being the culprit at once. Format-wise, it doesn't look like it's part of Nonstop Debate.
That sounds like the previously announced "Panic Debate" mechanic, which previously had no revealed information for it other than the name.

New trailer, more gameplay footage and we get to hear the characters' voices.

Little detective guy has Big Boss' voice
LMFAO
Something I like about the game so far is that it looks a lot more, dynamic I should say? Like you can tell it was made for a new gen and not ported over like DR1 & 2.
Almost like a leap from Apollo Justice to Dual Destinies, but not quite as grand.

Tongue-in-cheek or is this stuff actual spoilers (like that weird shot of the ultimate
astronaut
The game isn't even released so how do you think could anybody post spoilers?
The image of the ultimate astronaut is from the trailer btw.

We already know what the best sprite is.

I thought that the image description Flux put up was perhaps from the website. Really worried about spoilers when it comes to DR, the Astronaut dude better be innocent, he's been made to seem way too suspicious
Sorry if that bothered anyone
edit:
just watched the trailer and voices are top notch (SHSL Tennis dude fucking got me lmao)
Not digging the "SORE WA CHIGAU YO" cut-in very much, but I feel that it'll look far better in the game.
Godlike HUD.
Really like that music sample at the end.
We're talking about the guys who include all 16 characters in the trial they show in the trailer just so they don't spoil their own game for us.
The official website is also not going to spoil the game they're promoting.
The face of the astronaut doesn't mean anything, the same as Souda's similar face didn't mean anything.
You shouldn't worry about the Japanese promotion material to spoil us.

makes sense. thanks!

Speaking of not spoiling the game, there's no doubt Spike Chunsoft is going to try to mislead as much as possible as not to spoil anything, but I wonder if that extends to even recording false lines with the voice actors.
They must know people are going to pour over every single second of these trailers.

So we can lie in trials now. Cool.
Although I wonder how it will work exactly. Form the translations it sounds like you can decide whether or not you want to lie, but that both will advance the story in one way or the other.
Really hoping that the gameplay has experienced significant improvements. There are some neat concepts they're bringing up like lying or Scrum/Panic Discussions, but it'll all fall apart if they're represented through terrible mechanics. Already winced a bit when I saw the Rebuttal sword mechanic seemingly returning in that trailer.
Music in the trailer was good. Sounds, appropriately, like Class Trial background music.

Wouldn't put it past them after the playable DR1 demo had art, writing, and voice acting nowhere to be found in the full game.

The game looks great, and the voices seem good from the little snippet I heard. I have to admit that hearing the tennis guy with such a deep voice was amusing, and I hope he doesn't continue the weird, perverted archetype from DR1 and DR2 for that carácter design.
The months leading to a localization announcement and its release will be hell, considering the history of the franchise concerning spoilers.
I just hope we don't have to suffer through a NEW, IMPROVED Hangman's Gambit.
