Haha, love the designs as per usual. I don't mind the graphics at all as this is their first PS4 game and just like when it jumped to PS3 there wasn't a massive difference till 4 came out and moreso with D2.
Usalia and the fat yellow Prinny stick out the most as my favorite thus far. Though I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Prinnies anyway.

I'm loving the character designs so far.
There's just one oddity that I noticed.
Seraphine's band is on the wrong leg in-game and in the in-game portrait art.
Character art here compared to...
in-game stuff here.
It's minor but it just stood out to me for some reason.

don't they flip the sprites depending on the camera position? facing left is probably the default state and facing right is flipped

This happens all the time in anything 2D. No one is going to redraw things just to make someone face a different direction when putting together a composite picture or when doing sprite work in a game, so they just do a mirror flip

Interesting pricing. But I would pay it.
Hopefully the wait for the US release is not too long. I need Disgaea on my PS4. Going to glorious.

I missed this picture. Oh yeah, now I'm positive I prefer these designs. Now to release all the voices!
For me it's the ultimate stat whore game. So many ways to break the game, so many ways to enter the zen-like world of number scrolling and character tweaking. It's the best, just the best
Although man they always find a way to top their creepy character designs one way or another
By the way it says "new point: revenge" on the scans, how does the revenge system work exactly?

Based on the artwork here
I'm almost assured the main character is going to be a Fist user based on the pose he using here.
Besides some of my favorite characters in the entire series were Fist users.
Adell, Mr. Champloo (Nyahahaha BOOM!), Fenrich, as well as a few others.
This means unique Fist attacks for the Hero, which if they are like the unique fist attacks the above characters got, it's cool, and then there is also the fact that Fist users ultimately end up with Big Bang which as if Disgaea 3, has basically became the standard for clearing the Cave of Ordeals leveling spot.
Much like how Wing Slayer in Disgaea 1 was pretty the go-to move for leveling up in Cave of Ordeals 3.
Although Disgaea D2 was an exception to this, being that it's leveling map emphasized on using either Fire or Star magic.

Hopefully a NA release isn't too far behind. I want this now.
You're dead to me.
i still havent played d2 but here are my thoughts.
4 would be a fine starting point, it was their first attempt at HD sprites and it adds slightly on the mechanics of previous games. in fact basically all disgaea games are very similar with slight tweaks to units and occasionally added/removed mechanics, but not huge game changing ones. the 1st game has a great cast and setting but i dont feel like the gameplay had really come together yet. 2 is the start of what i consider a very typical disgaea game. there is a great psp port of 2 with a ton of added content. a portable port with a bunch of added content is also typical of disgaea games.
so basically dont worry too much about it, they are all good and not remarkably dissimilar from one another.
Heh, considering how much Disgaea breaks the 4th wall and general writing style, I wouldn't be surprised if at some point we get a character that appears upside down whenever facing left and right side up whenever facing right (reason for which conveniently explained in the dialogue) in a desperate bid to maintain wearing accessories on the right limbs.
Okay, I'll start with 4. I'll download the PS2 games from PSN too.

just got to see some famitsu
main character laharl grown-up is called 'ki-ri-a' so killia? killya?
etna-fionne mashup girl is called "se-ra-fi-nu" so seraphine, no doubt.
girl with fat prinny is "usaria".

Yeah I'm looking at scans right now myself and I like the way it looks. It's not going to blow anyone away mind you but it's very clean and I like how colorful it is. It sucks that we will most likely not see this in the west until 2016 but hopefully due to the success of the PS4 in the west NIS won't make us wait as long.

Any hope this game will go full 3D or are they keeping the sprites?

I love her design.I'm already really liking the designs. Especially Usalia and the Fat Prinny. I think I'm just amused at how they both look so out of it
Her and the girl with the purple twintails are my favourite designs so far.
Pair of new (?) characters
Via http://www.playstationlifestyle.net...s-art-show-characters-special-moves-locations
The new girl looks an awful lot like Seraphine. Sisters? Cousins? Cosplaying Seraphine fan? Alternate dimension/time travel version of same character? Anime being anime? Dunno.

that's her preorder bonus costume
Wow it...looks like she has to shrink to get into it. Like her body has different proportions/shape to it.
So I gave the Disgaea 5 demo a shot. Definetly a Disgaea game with cleaner graphics and more crazy skills.
Doesn't seem to change a lot but the Revenge system is a nice touch and I love some of the new monster designs. Not a fan of the main Anti hero's design, but hopefully his personality is entertaining at least. Day one for sure though

? Seems to match the proportions of her original sprite just fine to me.
Oh is that the sprite in the big image above? I thought it was just the artwork. If that's the sprite then yeah I guess that's true. But looking at the art of Seraphine and the art of the alt costume look like two different characters to me.

so is this confirmed to have a hundred characters on screen?
I don't know if that was confirmed (was it?) but at the very least, Niikawa cited the hardware's potential to do up to that number as a primary reason for the series moving to PS4.
