Day 1.

No LE though since NIS makes me use their european store with their ridiculous prices with still high shipping costs to the other side of the world.

This was confirmed as the cast, too:

Wouldn't be surprised if it is Laharl, isn't he the most popular Disgaea character in Japan?

For a minute, I thought the guy to the left of him in that image was Mao from D3 though lol.

I am digging the cast art. May pick this up depending on how it looks and if they streamline it at all for "casuals". I have been unable to beat every Disgaea game I play

I've been toying with the idea to get Disgaea 4 on Vita recently...Is it worth it? Last Disgaea I played was the first one a long time ago.

Wait... I haven't bought D4 for Vita yet!

Good news for those who already have a PS4. I really need to get one soon.
 
It's pleasing that the otaku ghetto isn't afraid of jumping into PS4 development compared to the bigger pubs.

I do wonder how much selling potential Disgaea has left in Japan.

But regardless, I don't care. I'm looking forward to it!

Doesn't the series do decently there, or has it become a strange case ala Castlevania where all of the money is made internationally yet gets released locally because the company is founded there?

[PS3] Disgaea 4 - 129,031
[PS3] Disgaea 3 - 93,227

The two Vita games are just ports and did 54k and 49k.

Yeah, hopefully Gust announces something next for PS4, they had an impressive run on PS3 and kept getting better at HD development.

I honestly have no idea if those are good numbers considering the low-scale technical costs the games consistently have.

And are those local or international numbers? Regardless of what it is, how did they fare elsewhere?

They're very good considering how small Nippon Ichi is. They've been trying to make other games that can reach up to Disgaea's level, but haven't been able to do so yet. If they could ever get that Asagi game going it could have a chance. But it seems to be forever cursed.

Apparently they want to appeal to a wider audience base with this title, so maybe they are aiming beyond otaku as well.

kinda wonder if d5 will act as a disgaea generations title. like there's a dude that could be an older mao, someone that looks like an older laharl, and someone that could maybe be artina. maybe the red dude is meant to be champloo. i haven't played d3 in a long time though.
