So yeah, a new Disgaea continuing the story of the chars of D1 has just been announced.


Laharl is wearing long pants, the world, underworld, heaven and all related worlds are doomed! I can't wait.

Hmm, well, it is kinda grind-heavy, it's the kind of game where you must enjoy the grind to get the most out of the gameplay and the strategic fights can sometimes take a while....but if you don't care for them much the story is still something to enjoy for sure. I myself prefer it to be honest, I do like the gameplay too but the story is just amazing.

Fuckin' A.
But it looks like Flonne's traded in her costume for just a long shirt... seems about right for Disgaea.

Awesome Laharl is still my favourite main character in the Disgaea series although I do feel the story dragged a bit from about episode 7 or so onwards so not sure how well they will carry off the continuation but the later Disgaeas especially 4 carried the story off much better imo so I have hope. I probably wont buy this though I mean I love disgaea so theres a chance I will get it eventually but I still havent had chance to finish Disgaea 4 yet and it will probably remain unfinished for the foreseeable future they are such good fun games but they are very samey.

 

[Kopikatsu]

I am ready for this.

But I will have to sustain myself on Mugen Souls in the interim.

I hope that Revya and Gig or at least Absolute Victory Unlosing Ranger and Demon General Darkdeath Evilman make an appearance.

Edit: Checked, release month is March 2013.

Flonne is a demon now, she has a bunnygirl costume and sleeves...that's...two sleeves more than most bunnygirls.

*Steadies himself*

Thanks for lettings us know. I'm usually on the ball with this sort of thing but I've been distracted by some annoying um...things lately.

If you don't mind, I'm going to link the JRPG fan club to this thread. Cool?

Oh, sure, go ahead, I'm there too you know.

seems kinda weird that a sequel is happening now. Especially since the characters of Disgaea 1 have been having adventures in disgaea 2-4, phantom brave, and unlosing ranger

They said it was because this is the 10 year anniversary of the series, they decided to use the original chars to honor them and whatnot.



I'm sure all of the events of the game will occur after all of those ones you mention in the game's canons.

 

[Tartarga]

Man, I haven't even gotten to play Disgaea 4 yet. Or finish 2, or play the first one, and i've been wanting to replay the third one since it's been a while.

I'm not sure if one man can handle all that square based strategy. But I intend to find out.

 

[Tanis]

I hope the Prinny's found all of Etna's panties.

Hard to believe the series is almost 10 years old. And I just discovered how awesome it was last year.

Also, this thread reminds me that I need to sit down and finish D4 some time soon. Those final stages were really kicking my ass. :/

Yeah... I'm ready baby. It is going to be a heckuva wait. March release in Japan means an April/May release here.

Wonder how the DLC will be this time. I adored playing Laharl's dad in Disgaea 4.

I just hope it'll come state-side.

You have no idea how angry I was after finding out that Revya and Gig were JPN only in Disgaea 3. NO IDEA.

 

[Sampsa]

Wasn't there already a sequel? Where some human brawler and Etna were the main characters?

...

They weren't. Gig was my strongest character in Disgaea 3, and Revya was in my last party. My item world theme was Gig's "Rock N' Rocks".

What? When I went over the DLC in the PSN Store, I couldn't find them so I searched online for a bit and found a list of Japan-only characters and Gig/Revya were on that list...

I'd go look again but my friend borrowed Disgaea 3 and never gave it back. -twitch-

Laharl has trousers??!?!

...I...I don't know how to...

I need to sit down.

Yeah, that was Disgaea 2.
This is kind of like Final Fantasy 10-2, same series, but rather than having a whole new set of protagonists it expands on the old ones.

I need to sit down.

Not just trousers, red jean-looking ones, he looks like Dante from DMC3 lol.

That shouldnt really matter because we never really knew what they were doing in between games. They always just kind of appeared with little explanation of what they were doing and then continued on their way.

 

[Twilight_guy]

That rivals Final Fantasy X-2 and Final Fantasy 13-2 in terms of stupid names and numbering schemes. Other that... meh. The point of the games aren't story, its endless grind. Characters are just skins on various pawns on the field.

Final stages?
You mean those last stages before the main story comes to a conclusion?
Have you learned nothing? That's basically just the end of the intro.

I got an instant erection when these news popped into my RSS feed.
I cannot wait. Words are insufficient for describing my current feels.
