[@davidguthary8147]

Fun fact: this track is titled "Virtue's Last Reward" even in Japanese, where the game has a different title. The original title can be read as either "good people die" or "I want to be a good person". This was changed to keep the double meaning in English, referring to the phrases "virtue is its own reward" and "the last reward", i.e. death. The scenario writer liked the new title so much he had the title of the game's main theme changed.

Good people die cracks me up

[@claymore7970]

Why isn't the game popular in Japan!!! Its much better than Danganronpa... I like both but VLR is better and almost didn't sell in Japan...

[@LeonGun8]

True, though the real reason seems to be that the creator wants to retain creative control,which is something most companies won't really agree to for a series that's known to undersell. Iimagine the only propositions came conditioned with demands for the game to go under a certain direction or to add things they thought would help it sell. It's why he likely refused the kickstarter idea as well (if he goes through kickstarter the backers would basically become people he'd indebdted too and their ideas would shape the project limiting his independence when designing the game). I'm sure with enough prodding and perhaps with some sucess from other projects to help alleviate the pressure (companies take risks when they havesuccesful projects helping to keep them going) the project can resurface. At the very least the creator has not forgotten the series which is at least a good sign, contrary to other series like SUikoden which have been completely forgotten.

[@TheKingofHonoredOnes]

Cause opinions. I like Danganronpa a lot more than Zero escape for example. Though I still love both games.

Thats debatable, tbh I enjoy more Danganronpa because its like Ace Attorney with action, while I don't like puzzle games a lot... i always end up using a guide with zero escape
