Glad some people will be able to enjoy this insane game.
Chapter 4 is probably my favorite one.
Chapter 4 is probably my favorite one.
At least they aren't on 2's level of bad.
Yep, this is one of those few where the localized audio did a pretty damn good job.
I wouldn't describe samey and shrill sounding generic american VA as superior to anything. Let alone Monokuma sounds like bloody Teddie from P4 as opposed to the unnerving and disturbing JP original.
But again, my opinion.
I thought the dub was quite good and better than the Japanese ones. The only reason I was interested in the Japanese voices is because they apparently have big names behind them and some of the dialogue references the other characters they have played...but I don't know who those VA's are and don't care about them.
I also don't think the twists were as twisty as people are implying.
(The person I am quoting talks about the length of the final trial and one of the components, I don't think it's a spoiler but to each their own.)
Wait, why would you have to redo an entire trial? You can save at almost any point. I think the only time you can't is if you get thrown into a mini-game.

Huh? There's only one Monokuma damn it! Puhuhuhuhuhuh...
100%
They're not fun in any way
Unlike with a lot of other games, easy difficulty is thankfully ACTUALLY easy. Don't think I failed a single mini-game in DR2.
e: and yeah, English dub is really great iirc, the hell y'all talking about
Japanese Monokuma makes my ears bleed.

Oh this was out today wasn't it?
Will buy for my best friend. He liked the anime but never played it.

I probably won't buy this, simply because I bought a Vita a few months ago and played through 1 and 2 (haven't finished AE so far). But I also recommend this game, it's great. And the soundtrack, oh god the soundtrack. So good. <3

so much this. huge turn-off...
Yeah I heard one line from Monokuma in the trailer and was like "No way am I playing this with English audio"

Not to mention that if you fail a trial you don't start it over, you pretty much resume right where you were before even if you don't save.
edit: US Monokuma > JP Monokuma and US Makoto > JP Makoto
yep
monokuma is supposed to be a weird-ass motherfucker. jp voice reflects this. NA version is the opposite, as well as being centered right in the middle of cringe-city.
that laugh is monokuma. there's no other way around it.

this is two times in one day I have to agree with flux. Japanese monokuma is the worst thing about the japanese cast.
JP Monokuma is like the best character. The whole japanese cast is great. I mean, of course I accept your opinion of thinking the english version is better, but that still doesn't mean you are right.

Eh, it's all preference regarding JP or ENG voices. But...
Sore wa chigau yo! > No, that's wrong!
It just has more oomph.

Shadow Soldier knows whats up.
Either way I hope everyone enjoys this tomorrow and avoids searching for things because this game gets spoiled too easily imo.
If you want it, don't read anything and just go in blind.

I like Makoto's US voice because it conveys to me well that he doesn't really want to be there and begrudgingly going along with it because he has to. It's why I didn't like DR2's protagonist's VA as much. Then again I'm not a native Japanese speaker, so Makoto's voice actor might do the same thing there, but I can't really tell.
Also because he doesn't sound like a 12-year-old.

Agree with this 100% DO NOT LOOK UP ANYTHING!!! Everything will spoil you and you do not want to be fucking spoiled.

noooo let's not do dub wars
The English dub is neither better nor worse than the original. They're both equally valid ways to experience the story and it really all comes down to whether you prefer playing in English or Japanese. There, I settled it. Mail me my medal.

I probably would have never said anything if it wasnt for this
this shit just gets under my skin
The English dub is fantastic. Anyone who says otherwise likely made judgement calls based on some lines in the trailer.
That being said the Japanese voices are of course fantastic too, and you can listen to whatever you want, but calling the English dub a typical dollar store dub is absolute bullshit.
That being said, I am glad that "I don't have a Vita" will no longer be an excuse for people to not play this fantastic game.

And also Feep is awesome as Byakuya

I get upset when people disagree with me too
I try not to let it get to me tho

I'll gladly double dip for this game. Waiting for any reactions of newcomers, as I missed the boat on the Vita release and came late for the second one.
And please, for all new people, DON'T SEARCH ANYTHING ABOUT THIS FRANCHISE. AT ALL. There's a reason why this fanbase is infamous around the Web.

Make sure to have headphones on for the OST.

The dub is good, but no. The original, considering how much legendary VA talent went into it, is better. Not by much, but better. Both are good choices with their own downsides (Naegi's EN VA is mediocre, while Celeste's JP is inferior to her EN VA), but I wouldn't say that one is superior to the other. This isn't Chaos Wars.
yeah, enough about dubs
anyhow, looking forward to playing this again tomorrow whilst having a nice drink of hot despair
Is he laughing at 3DS owners because they don't get to play this?
"typical dollar store dub" doesn't exactly sound like a "but that's just my opinion" sort of comment, surely you understand that?
I'm not one of those people who want everyone to include "imo" everywhere in their posts, but yours certainly comes off more as if you're trying to claim it's objectively mediocre, rather than than you just didn't personally like it
Obviously not. Some people just have to be asses when stating what they don't like.
I've played games with dubs I've enjoyed, Trails of Cold Steel most recently
I felt this one was very cheap in the same vein of other localizations with subpar VA
we're going into name calling over voice acting? really?

I honestly wonder how the VA's themselves feel when their talent is considered "dollar store variety" by some. We get it guys, some of you are have been in bed with your favorite seiyuus for years, at some point the shit posting on dub VAs gets a little old. Would be nice to see a thread about this game where it doesn't automatically turn into a "legendary Japanese VA!!!!!!" vs "garden variety trash that I'll never give the time of day for".
It would also be nice if anyone voicing a VA preference wouldn't be immediately presumed to do so for invalid reasons.
Play whichever language you like.
Not sure why we have to raise up barriers and warfronts when the whole reason the option is there is so that you can choose what to enjoy; and your choice doesn't impact anyone else, so I don't know why there's a need to campaign for or against...
As for me, I played English on my Vita, so I'm going to go Japanese this time around.

I'd argue you started the name calling by calling it a "dollar store dub." Especially considering that one of the VAs is a regular here.
Well sure, this is a given. If you prefer English dubs, don't let anyone tell you should still go with the Japanese voices. If you prefer Japanese, don't listen to the people who still insist you should play it in English.
Yup. Quality of dubs is generally good nowadays anyway I'd say, but obviously it varies on each product.
Anyway, back to Danganronpa... I got a Vita last November and it's the first game I completed on it. I loved every second of it, so much in fact that I ended up getting the plat for it
we can't criticize games on a video game forum now?
thats cool Feep worked on it, but that shouldn't make that facet of the game immune to criticism

Yeah, saying "avoid the English dub because it sucks" is valid when it's a Chaos Wars-tier "they clearly didn't give a fuck" situation, but for anything short of that the correct answer is you personal preference, since the vast majority of English dubs these days are only bad if you're already used to the Japanese voice actors.
