The "Nippon Ichi Software" Thread

[Bueno Excelente]

Made that new thread because this game honestly sounds nothing like their constant Disgaea-like rehashes. It's really good of them to put some money to work on something that's not bursting with prinnies.

[Rin]

After trying hard to find a copy of Disgaea 4 to buy (where I live, and that is Poland) and having no luck with my quest.
I encountered Disgaea 3 on my way.
It's the original ps3 version, not the VITA one (since I do not own a VITA and never will be) so...

Is it worth buying? Or should I not even bother? I heard mixed things about this ones gameplay.
ANY OPINIONS?

Holy boogaloids! Udon is at it again, but this time: DISGAEA STYLE!

[Gaia]

'Bout time. At last, after years of hunting down concept art (I have found oh so few during those runs) will have finally paid off!

Also, who else had trouble with Shura in Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories (AKA: Dark Hero Days)?

Since this thread is still available~

Disgaea D2, next year on PS3.

Before	After

[Rin]

Laharl, Flonne and Etna will be main characters again?!

YES YES YESSSS...

[Gaia]

So Etna gets little to no changes while Laharl's shorts grow into pants and Flonne gets a ribbon for one of her legs.. Whu? Then that means D2 must be either a direct sequel or a remake of the first game, but I liked the cartoony look the characters originally had, now they sorta lost that charm.

[Ladd Spencer]

Here's hoping it's a sequel, but they sure do love porting the same game repeatedly. How many times have they done that with Disgaea?

You continue to baffle me, little pal.

Well... they ported it two times, I believe. One for PSP and other for DS. Unless there's something I don't know about.

[Ladd Spencer]

Two times is a lot of times, considering how new the game really is.

[Gaia]

You continue to baffle me, little pal.

It's more of a taste kind of thing, actually, since I actually preferred their original looks (they kinda grew on me) and what would be the point of changing their appearances if it weren't an actual direct sequel and turned out to be another remake, only this time for the Vita? It's like trying to compete with the Ys and Lunar series with how many times a game can be remade.

[Ladd Spencer]

Lunar's good enough to be remade a thousand times, but there's naught good ports of it since PSX.

Etna's outfit looks different to me ^^;

[Gaia]

Really? Aside from the hue (the black suit kinda gave off a blue-ish hue depending on the lighting, now it comes off green-ish), doesn't look like the poster-girl of the series has changed much.

Speaking of which, I'd think it' be a good idea to have an in-game explanation of the sudden wardrobe change. Otherwise it would probably be more "sonic has green eyes/spyro looks hideous/trigger getting new look before game getting canned" arguments  (more like an art direction based argument if you ask me) before Laharl getting pants, although the former arguments are about more well-known characters and their appearances.

[Ladd Spencer]

sonic has green eyes

Remember the first time you found out Mega Man's eyes never change colors?

[VixyNyan]

Remember when his eyes did change because of the choice of artists for different official illustrations?

[Sakura Leic]

Personally I think that Laharl was playing way too much Persona 4 Arena.

[Ladd Spencer]

Remember when his eyes did change because of the choice of artists for different official illustrations?

Like as he changed colors or just from artist to artist?

[VixyNyan]

The second one.

[Ladd Spencer]

I like when his eyes change with his weapon, like the graphics do.

[VixyNyan]

Mhm yup~

[Sakura Leic]

Oh god Female Laharl is pretty busty.

[VixyNyan]

The boobs close-up image has a heart on it, that's how important it is.

[Gaia]

Ah, no wonder he has traded his shorts for pants. Things would go horribly wrong with the script, as it's his character that despises girls and would rather die than be near a pair of boobs. Suddenly, he's a girl. Flonne, I would like to have a word with you.

[Sub Tank]

Mhm yup~

Nippon Ichi sure knows how to work their fanbase.

[VixyNyan]

I dunno guys, Etna's hair color seems a tad bit off here (2P version I guess). ^^;
