is this real
that's apparently the translation of her line in the demo
Yes. She's incredibly vulgar.

Hmm, yes. I predict dead by Case 2.
Some thoughts on DRv3:
Visuals
The artstyle hasn't changed, but the visuals look crisp as fuck. The environments are really nice to look at this time around, and the special effects during the trials are really fantastic.
Characters
Now this is what i'm talking about! None of that devianart tier ocs that permeated the DR3 anime, this is how you make DanganRonpa characters. They're just as goofy, cute, sexy, fun and charming as the previous 2 casts and absolutely brimming with potential. My favorites are inventor, dictator, robot and magician girl so you know that each and every one of them are going to die.
Makoto
Has a somewhat significant role in the demo, and i'm almost going to miss him, lmao. He's really come into his own as a character lately, from standard audience surrogate to a major series regular. That conversation he has with Monokuma at the end is weirdly adorable.
Hajime
He's in the demo too. He doesn't do much but it's fucking Hajime, so he deserves a shout out.
Kaede
The new girl on the block ♪
I'm just going to be real with ya'll; Kaede fucking owns. I mean come on, we get a protagonist with an actual talent, who's an assertive leader type (but not always in control) and a girl at that? What dimension am I in? This never happens in a mainstream VN game (especially one with waifus) so hats off to Kodaka for pulling it off. Best of all, is that we avoided an obnoxious "but we already had a female protagonist with Komaru" who. so. did. not. count. From the demo alone, you immediately get this completely different perspective with Kaede (music nerd, content with her life, friendly) and someone like Hajime (insecure as FUCK, pricklyish) and it's just great. Oh and I haven't even covered her lying mechanic which is just has so much goddamn potential.
Music
It's godlike. Tracks are reused yes, but it avoids the ZTD situation where the songs mostly have a new remix with a plethora of new songs thrown in, so it doesn't feel like an overly similar experience.
Extras
Is it Fall(?) yet.
Expression Game
Some of the best this series has to offer already. Even Kaede has like 5 great ones and she's the protagonist.
Angie owns. Her broken Japanese is the cutest fucking thing on the planet.

She'll die in Case 3 like the other gimmick characters have
She's my pick for mastermind.
Wait and risk being spoiled or dive into an early translated playthrough and neuter your first experience.
Both choices lead to Hope and both choices lead to Despair.
V3's OST is super good so far so I made a playlist of the tracks others have posted https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTEhzdlHNMQ&index=1&list=PLK7gaw45vGla-R_Xv8IfN_TQD_-JmAYto
Oh, that new discussion mix is heaven.

That happened here with the first game though I don't think anyone noticed, and they changed their avatar once contacted.
I'm not worried about GAF so much as the rest of the social sites that DR is popular on. Hopefully the English release isn't too far off.

At this point, I think the biggest vectors are going to be Tumblr and YouTube, maybe Reddit. But browsing anything DR until the English release is going to be a minefield, knowing how players love to spoil everything.
I just hope no one here tries to play cute and spoils any twist with its avatar.

Can't do this because then every single video shows up in your subs again.
Clear and suspend watch history should prevent any recommendations from showing up.
So just recently I learned that the V3 game isn't connected to the first two and I have to watch the anime. So I ended up marathoning the episodes and have to say I'm pretty disappointed in it. The prequel side was slow and the way they showed how the second cast fell into despair was pretty lame, but the other side focusing focusing on the killing was pretty decent. Don't think that part of the anime is as good as the first two games, but eh it was fun enough to watch. The biggest disappointment was what they did to Nagito though, you'd expect him to play a much bigger role or something as he was by far the most interesting character from the three games. But they barely gave him any screen time.
BlackDragonHunt of MangaGamer looked through the V3 demo data and found all of the chapter names and two dead character sprites. She was kind enough not to post any of them, not even with spoiler tags, but there's a chance that someone else might comb through them and start posting spoilers before the game even comes out.
it's pokemon all over again

Damn, I thought that would happen until January. Time to unfollow everything Danganronpa for the time being.
