I think N1 games look way better than Odin Sphere. IMO high-res 2d is overrated and worthless because 9.9/10 times high-res 2d animates like shit compared to low-res 2d and animation is really what matters in 2d. Look at all that sprite variety in the D3 trailer, and all the little animations. OS has a bunch of enemies that all look the same and everyone has stiff animations...yuck.
SFIII looks a million times better than any Guilty Gear.

Just watched it on gametrailers
Did I just see a prinny gun? Ultimate Weapon confirmed!! Also love that one "arm" weapon the white haired girl was using.
at 1:01 Total Damage = 436,925,960

But I have a quick question, the game looks crazy and really deep so will an rpg n00b like myself enjoy playing this game?
Is there a good story mode or something that'll keep me interested.

This is going to be nothing but awesome and win and rainbows.
Also it was completely impossible for me to watch this and not think to myself.. "Where is Mittermeyer? And why did you really betray Reinhard"

Have you been living under a rock the past few years? I thought everybody had at least heard of Disgaea, even if they didn't like it. It's an SRPG.
I agree with you about the sprites though, if they're going to put a game like this on PS3 they should at least take the effort to upgrade the sprites to HD levels.

actually, after playing FF tactics that looks good graphically, but thats the only other srpg I ve to compare it too...anyway, Im actually quite interested in this...how does the series match up to ff tactics... is it also a battle engine with a story?

Did anyone notice one of the characters was using a prinny as a gun? Nice team up attack.
Nippon Ichi SRPGs are the GTAs of SRPGs. They're never really balanced properly, and the idea is to give the player a gazillion options to have fun with, lots of optional content, and huge growing numbers. If you're in it for real strategy and balanced tactical combat, look elsewhere. If you want to find out how you fare in a Prinny court judging you for your sins against Item World, sign up now.

I love Disgea, but I'm really dissapointed with that trailer. Its the same damn game engine that they've been usuing for how many games now? 5?
Thanks for the heads up about the trailer. The game just looks awesome!!!!! I am really hyped about the game and the battle sprites look even more crazy than before. Can't wait for this to be translated. If only they could have done an english localization, I would so have imported come January .

Well UI is the same, the art is the same, the level of detail is marginally improved at best. I'm not doubting that the gameplay elements are different, but it just looks like they took 80% of the assets from Disgea 1 and exported it into 5 other games.

I just fainted from shock. Truly worthy of your tag :lol
Not to mention you must only play the import as presentation and VA from Atlus with Disgaea 1 and Odin Sphere is so many leagues over what nippon did with D2 I wouldnt know where to start and that affects my enjoyment quite a bit being a decade plus out of my teen years.

Really? I played that game for like 35hrs and I dont have the foggiest clue what guys are talking about it, slowdown yes, clunky animation I guess you need better then 20/20 vision to see. I dont think EGM would give a 2D game such a score if was that bad. Ponders..

Notice the clunky transition between animations (attacking, enemies, etc.)
Disgaea 2 Mid-Boss/Dark Adonis Battle:

N1 animates seamless transition between attacks, fights, etc. Also, a ton more animation in attacks, defense, etc.
(Although it is a bit nit picky)

I don't see why people are upset about the graphics. I wouldn't expect anything else from N1 and personally the only thing that really would be missing is high definition sprites. But honestly, how else can a Disgaea game really look?

I just wish this was a downloadable game. I think the mainstream would be way more receptive to it as a downloadable title unless it was too highly priced.
Dr. Kitty Muffins said:
But downloadable games sell bad compared to disc games since they sell to a very limited audience who have internet and know how to buy games online.
Plus Disgaea is an otaku game. That means it's the kind of game that people buy the LE versions of and put the fancy packaging on their shelves.
Also don't forget that Japan is a country all about selling their used games after beating them. Can't do that with online titles. Same with bringing it to a friends house.
There's a reason Sony expects the online GT5 Prologue to sell 1/5th of the retail version.
Some of those attack animations are insane, which is nice, but I know I will be turning them off eventually after I've seen them a few times. It seems such a waste they put so much effort into them only for people to turn them off eventually to speed things up
What intrigues me most are those destructing block sequences (starting at 2:40 in the video). Is this some new puzzle-like mechanic in the item world to have fun with? I can well remember being addicted to exploiting geo panels in IW to get long combos and huge bonuses in D1, so while I'm sure that will still be in D3 if they are adding something else new I'm very interested. In fact, in D1, it got to the point where I started thinking that the Item World was the main focus of the game and story was just the side dish! :lol
Also, the question is bound to be asked sooner or later, but have they revealed which cameo characters from other N1 games will be in this one and if so which are playable?

Oh, I think they are most definitely being lazy. But I have to imagine this goes through their minds.
1) Spend hours creating millions of brand new sprites
2) Spend hours creating millions of ways to level up weapons, characters, and making insanely long dungeons.
