It is entirely worth it. The protagonist is the smartest in the series, chapter 1 is amazing, and It's a good game that lives up to it's standards. This thread has been solved. Last edited by WizoDard;
two protagonists. The game features 16 high-school students being forced into a mutual killing game. Each character has a special skill or ability, known as an Ultimate Talent. Danganronpa V3 is viewed from the point of view of two protagonists.
Two to three depending on whether you count the ending you have to get before the final ending as an ending in itself. The good end can be obtained in chapter V3 by not being a total fuck up and V3 but since everyone is a fuck up they proceed to get the bad ending in the final trial and the V3 end which V3 There's only one ending.
I like V3 because of the ambiguity of it, and how it generates discussion after all is sad and done. I came in after the Hope’s Peak Academy arc was done (I played 1, 2 and V3 back to back), but I recall it being mentioned that players were unsure of if Junko was telling the truth about the outside world.
In the first chapter of Trigger Happy Havoc, Fukawa Toko brings up the possibility of accomplices once Asahina Aoi alibi’s out Naegi Makoto, since he could not retrieved the knife that killed Sayaka from the Cafeteria the previous night:
This one is about Komaru Naegi (Makoto’s little sister), and Toko. Just make sure that your finish DR1 before going into it.
Because otherwise, the rest of the students could plan a very ‘Orient Express’ scenario in which they all murdered someone, then got to leave the school since they were all the Blackened here. Sort of like how the Blackened was limited to two kills, because otherwise they could just murder everyone and leave the school scott free.
The other one is Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope’s Peak Academy ( distinctly not Danganronpa V3, as they are completely separate stories ). Danganronpa 3 is the ending to the Hope’s Peak storyline, which included Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc, 2, and Ultra Despair Girls. This is important, because V3 does not continue that storyline. It is not necessary to watch Danganronpa 3 in order to understand V3. V3 makes a couple of very brief references to 3, but it is not necessary to watch it in order to understand.
There’s no anime to Danganronpa V3, but if you’re talking about the Despair/Future arc in the third installment of the anime, then I suggest you watch it just to be a completionist. Again, you do not have to watch it before you play DRV3.
The first one is Danganronpa: The Animation, based on Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc, which is the first game in the series. If you intend to play it, or have already played the game, it is not at all necessary to watch the anime. If you haven’t, I would highly recommend playing the game over watching the anime, but the anime will suffice for understanding the other entries in the series.
DR3 ( (the anime)) is the conclusion of the Hope's Peak story. This is its own story.
NDRv3 is like, a very odd thing . Standalone, it's a really good story. If you never did DR1, DR2, and UDG. Never watched DR3. Completely new to the series as a whole, it's solid.
It isn't Canon. The creators just didn't want to work on Danganronpa anymore. Perhaps they realised they built up too much and nothing could have surpassed the first game.
Answering your question = spoiler. its best for you to watch the anime first. v3's ending is brilliant yet controversial. i used to hate the ending but after 6 months, i think it was the best on the entire series (dont wanna go too detail here.)
V3 is canon. In a different universe. Or at least that's what the marketing said.
From what I know, DR3 is the end of the Hope's Peak arc. V3 is more of a separate thing, you might consider it a soft reboot, though it still has strong ties to the previous games ( just not nearly as direct-sequel like).
