Board Thread:Updates & News/@comment-27729796-20170616174316

Hello all! We've obviously had quite a lot of news in the last few days, while Danganronpa V3 Demo has been featured at E3 2017. The staff has been documenting everything we find, as it breaks, on our official Wiki twitter, @WikiRonpa (please check us out, it's the best way to find out the latest DR news!).

Obviously some of the recent effects the Wiki, so here's some news to BEAR in mind!


 * After the first footage of the Demo's intro appeared on Youtube, Kokichi Oma's name was written in as "Kokichi Ouma". We contacted NISA through our official twitter, @Wikironpa, for some confirmation, and today they replied to us that the spelling is, indeed, Kokichi Oma, and the video spelling was an error. As such, we will continue to refer to him as Kokichi Oma on this wiki.


 * There has been a LOT of speculation as to the identity of Kokichi Oma's VA, and on June 14, Robert Schiotis, the lead editor for Danganronpa V3, posted on the Danganronpa subreddit on reddit.com to confirm that Kokichi Oma's VA is NOT Bryce Papenbrook. As such, please do not keep editing his entry in the Voice Actors page.


 * The Demo is not E3 exclusive and will be released to the public, with the option of both Japanese and English dub tracks, much like the final game:


 * Korekiyo Shinguji is nicknamed "Kiyo" in the demo, in the manner of Hiro and Hina. As with Aoi and Yasuhiro, Korekiyo's page name will not change, and he should continue to be referred to as Korekiyo in articles and elsewhere, as his full official name, like Aoi and Yasuhiro, continues to be Korekiyo. For the time being, until we find out how this nickname is handled in the full version of the name, nickname can be mentioned in the "nickname" field of his Infobox.


 * A final thing to keep in mind, and something that seems to come up time and time again from fans for whom this is their first Danganronpa release, is that you need to be aware that there will not be an official English cast list revealed by NISA. This has been protocol for all Danganronpa releases to date.
 * "If we could, we would. But because some of our actors are union, or union-affiliated, or other issues, it's in their long-term best interests to not be officially credited on a project. If an actor wants to personally take credit for their role, they're more than welcome do, but we as a company don't do that. (If we did, we'd quickly find ourselves with way fewer actors willing to work with us.)"

This is especially relevant this year, because there has been an ongoing Voice Actors Union strike for pay and conditions for the last 8 months. As such, the only way we can find out who is a English VA, is if the English VA themself reveals they are voicing a character on social media, such as their Twitter or Facebook. Currently, there is a Non-Disclosure Agreement in place preventing the majority of VAs from revealing themselves, but when that NDA drops we are counting on you, our community, to help us find official confirmation of who is voicing which character as they reveal it.

Anyway, hope you've all enjoyed watching all the news trickle in like we have! Thanks for reading!
