if the last poster transmigrates, does that make him first?

sean @ Aug 9th 2008 2:20AM

this is nick doerr's game. why didnt he post this? pretty obvious he loved this game more then the other posters. seemed that way anyway

Nick @ Aug 9th 2008 2:30AM

I love the spelling of "dude."

I have a feeling the translators are quite familiar with memes and 1337 speak. For example: "For Great Justice!"

Bill @ Aug 9th 2008 2:32AM

Can't wait for this game looks like it'll be just as good as the first two!

J @ Aug 9th 2008 2:54AM

wow, it's 1:53 am when you posted this. Anyway, thanx andrew. I'm lookin forward to this game. I've already played siren to death. This is my next game, and it's coming out soon, yay. Too bad there's no gameplay in this video, but still shows off its charm. You'd think they'd at least use higher resolution textures. this game better not have any framerate issues.

Should I buy the first 2 used before I play this one? The first one is still relatively expensive, I believe. Last time I went into my local Gamestop it was $29.99 used, and I have no clue on the second one.

Price on used games is 'usually' a sign of quality, I suppose.

The third game doesn't feature any real story elements from the first two aside from appearances from a few of the original characters (such as Laharl, Etna, and Flonne). Other than that, this is a completely original story with original characters, so you don't need the original two. I'm expecting this to be the penultimate game in the series, so I'd say just pick this one up first, and if you like it, try the other two. The first one is definitely the preferred one. That isn't to say Disgaea 2 was bad, but Disgaea 1 was much, much better.

First day purchase for me, for sure! Thanks for the $50 price tag, Nippon Ichi!

The first Disgaea is now a greatest hits game so you can get it for $20 bucks now,but if you have a psp it is best to get that version b/c of the extra features.

RPG's FTL! Action/Adventure FTW!

kevin @ Aug 9th 2008 5:04AM

agreed. but there are some people out there who think different than us 2.

Kaylik @ Aug 9th 2008 5:09AM

Are you out of your mind?! If you haven't noticed all RPG fans are really excited about the first real JRPG game on the PS3. I mean the serious lack of RPGs on the PS3 is unbelieveable. The PS3 need more RPGs if it's gonna survive and Disgaea is the perfect game for this. Endless replay value, insane dmg and a hilarious story.^^ Sure RPGs aren't for everyone but don't say "RPGs FTL". The PS3 would sell ton upon ton if we hade more RPG. And we already have enough of alot of the other genres.

Arnon @ Aug 10th 2008 7:41PM

Kaylik.. it's called a personal opinion.. Calm down.

InfamousShadow @ Aug 9th 2008 4:53AM

anyone know if the game will also have the Japanese audio?

McBonk @ Aug 9th 2008 7:37AM

God I hope so! That is honestly the best part. I listened to 3 words of Disgaea in English, and went straight to the Japanese. It was hilarious!

anglicus @ Aug 10th 2008 2:25AM

I don't see why it wouldn't, NIS is very good about such things.

I'm just hoping we get the DLC that Japan already has.

-Jad- @ Aug 9th 2008 9:57AM

Cool. I can't wait until Aug. 26.

vahdyx @ Aug 9th 2008 10:00AM

I am excited! Words can only describe how I feel about this game. There's plenty of words, that can portray my positive emotions for this game.

Excellent

ryan @ Aug 9th 2008 2:27PM

so this couldn't be done on PS2, or is this more of an incentive for people to switch to PS3?

Jonathan Coole @ Aug 9th 2008 6:29PM

its just how people like the game so they continue, and really the textures couldn't have been done on ps2 but still, the lack in graphics is just how the feel of the game works.

ryan @ Aug 9th 2008 9:29PM

they could easily continue it on PS2, tho now that PS3 has dropped it's backward compatibility in current models this could be a problem.

and these textures couldn't have been done on PS2?:

According to the developers, in an article I read a few months ago, while the majority of the graphics could have been done on the PS2, the physics calculations for the majority of the new moves could not have been done. They're really pumped up the backend calculations - since that's really been the core of the Disgaea games from the start. Each game so far has given more and more complex actions and formulas for determining outcomes.
