Thinking about which character to use as an avatar...
Cool. Is it possible to know who the murderer was in this case?
Is the hair really decisive evidence or just a red herring?
Did you watch the scene in the end?
His death was only a fake. The hair is probably from Makoto when he prepared the "crime" scene.

I'm pretty sure most of it was supposed to be a callback to Danganronpa 1
where hair on a hairbrush or roller or something in the first case was decisive evidence.
I have been staying away from this thread because I don't want to get spoiled on CH1, but... is this true? So can I download the demo and not have anything spoiled?!!
Thanks!

It's true.

There are no plot spoilers in the demo, no.
You'll be introduced to some of the mechanics and the cast, which I presume is repeated in the main game, but other than that, nothing to be spoiled on.
I'm assuming anyway, I'm waiting for the main game like the rest of you.

Is it just me or are the voices really low? I have them on max.

If you're playing on Vita, that's a known problem (game size was too big to fit the whole game without heavy voice compression) and the game will receive a Day 1 update to fix that issue.

Seems to be an issue with the English audio on all platforms, it's a mixing issue and not a compression issue. Turn down the music volume, I guess.

Yeah
I know it was fake. But I was wondering if there was truly a potential "culprit" for this fake trial. I guess it'd end up being Makoto 
Oh, don't remember that detail. Neat.
Btw. a reddit user compiled a spoiler free trophy list (the actual Trophies contain heavy spoilers).

For those hunting the Platinum trophy it looks like the mini game will be again the grindy part. At least the boardgame/dungeon RPG is supposed to be fun compared to that dreadful Monomi game in DR2.

Please tell there aren't any Hangman's Gambit minigames in V3. It's annoying having to play these in DR2.
That's a lot of interesting trophies in there. I'm guessing most of them are from the unlockable side content, otherwise the main game is going to be pretty hefty.

There is, but the letters don't cost you HP when they collide now. Essentially they got rid of the main reason that the minigame was fucking bullshit.

So the (demo)

shorten trials?
Also, some of the trophy names are fucking hilarious lol.
Also (game)

Yeah, I thought there was only ever one correct option to choose from.
I am definitely going to replay all trials just to see the differences.

Basically, one of the statements in orange is proven wrong by one of the evidence. Each (relevant) piece of evidence is a bullet, and you're trying to shoot the false orange statement with the bullet that proves it wrong.
The "bullets" are your pieces of evidence, while the yellow parts are weak points in the testimony. Just because (part of) a sentence is marked yellow doesn't mean it is necessarily wrong, though.
You're supposed to find the bullet (evidence) which contradicts one of the weak points and shoot at it. E.g. in the first round you have the weak points:
1) The three main characters' room[...]
and
2) He didn't even have a chance to resist.
while your pieces of evidence are:
1) Monokuma file
and
2) Evidence of a struggle
As this is a demo we only have a few pieces of evidence and only two weak points.
So here you need to shoot
"Evidence of a struggle" at "He didn't even have a chance to resist."

I'll never understand their infatuation with these crazy minigames.

My only thought is that they're trying to differentiate this series from Ace Attorney as much as possible.
Either that or they think it's fresh.

Are there any significant differences between the PS4 and Vita versions? Was planning to get this on PS4... until I saw that the PS4 version is $20 more expensive than the Vita version.

Some reviews are starting to drop.
Nothing significant. You need to download a day one patch to fix the compressed audio on the Vita and during some scene transitions the image will be pixilated/blurry for a few seconds.
You could just check out the demo on the Vita to see for yourself.
Embargo lifted 50 minutes ago, so reviews are out there. Great to see others enjoyed it as well. Here's ours, if you're interested.
