It'd be the biggest power up since Krillin had his true potential unlocked by Guru!

Seems legit.
But I just bought a PS4 in anticipation of D5...
Still holding out hope for steam prinny 1+2 release. Will buy day 1.
I have them both for my psp, but its buttons are kind of dead

NIS and NISA are the same company, correct? I wonder if the folks at NIS America are feeling nervous about next year.
To think they might not be around much longer...

No wonder it's launching against BB! It smokes it!
probably more colors on this screen than half of BB.

They've said before that Disgaea 3 was a PS2 game, and they've just moved it to PS3.

They're a subsidiary. So if NIS goes bankrupt, so does NIS America.
It's a real shame, because I actually like playing their localisations.
Those 8 gigs got us a grown up Laharl.
Totally worth it.
The game might bomb, but damn it if it is not the bomb, as well.
D4 really isn't that much better.
There's better looking anime stylized games than that screenshot on both the Vita and PS3.
I do think Sony Japan would be wise to buy them. Their game budgets are minuscule cheap and always give the Sony systems a stronger library. Without N1, there will definitely be a gap on the new Sony hardware releases.
Then again I can't remember the last time Sony Japan bought anyone.
Zettai Hero Project & Prinny were both great fresh ideas and helped the PSP's software library plenty. Unfortunately they didn't do that well and their sequels bombed to hell and back.

I did my part on Twitter. Keep tweeting Gio Corsi, guys. Maybe we can get a little something started!
At what point does NIS take a serious thought about expanding to other platforms, not just console but the mobile and PC space. I know mobile is always the suggestion that people groan over, myself included, but NIS have been in a similar situation before and at some stage expanding your potential audience has to be on their mind especially with how big the mobile market is in their own country.
I get that expanding a company with financial issues isn't the easiest thing but surely in the long run it's beneficial for the company. Am I crazy for thinking this?

Assuming they last long enough to bring it to the US it looks I will have to change my plan on buying this when the price dropped and now buy it day 1. After reading this thread I am worried that if i wait I will miss the window and have to pay out the nose for a used copy. Probably too late for them now, but this just reinforces my belief that Japanese developers who bring their games to the west should port to the PC. The Disgaea series is one of those series I think would of done very well on the PC.

This means Disgaea 5 might not even get translated, doesn't it?
What a tragedy.
What a tragedy.
They did attempt to do mobile. Problem is that they sabotaged themselves in the same way that they sabotaged themselves on the DS: they released a cheap port of Disgaea and hoped for the best.

I love Disgaea games but I can't help to think is their fault, their non Disgaea games are less than stellar and their pressence in Europe has been pretty bad over the years. I will do my part buying the game anyway.

Would Disgaea not appeal to the Fire Emblem Awakening crowd being a SRPG? FEA did really well worldwide IIRC.
Also the problem is all of their Nintendo efforts have been second banana and left to die, I mean their DS games were ports sans A Witch`s Tale, and I don`t think that even turned out well.
On Wii they only really did Phantom Brave and commissioned the Wii version of Sakura Wars which Idea Factory developed. Again they hardly lifted a finger on marketing and the Wii version of SW was pushed to the side, I mean only the PS2 version had the Japanese disc included.
On 3DS they only published an occasional western game like... Cave Story 3D... and in-house they only made this weird sticker game. Wat.
Yeah they put some minor stuff on Nintendo systems, but they really in no way put effort into getting people to buy them.

The series needs an iOS release.
Come on D4 is a significant visual upgrade to D3 in more or less all repsects
play-asia, amiami, nippon-yasan to name a few.
Sub par compared to the competition.
While there is certainly some crossover in fanbase, I the things that allowed FEA specifically to become a hit are not as prevalent in Disgaea.
The more sprites a game has, the more taxing it is on the RAM. The past games lagged due to them pushing the limits of how many sprites the system could handle. You can continue shitting on them due to ignorance though.

Disgaea 5 needs a dating sim.
It would, but that would require them to not immediately sabotage themselves by starting with a quick and dirty port of Disgaea 1 and hoping for the best.
They will certainly be unable to resist that temptation.
People just want to marry their waifus, why won't NIS listen?

Not to mention that it'll have even more enemies on screen than what all of the other past Disgaea games have brought out, due to PS4 being much bigger than PS3 in specs, even. I like the challenge that way.
It's commendable to start from the beginning? I got nothing.

The graphics are among the least important aspects of Disgaea games. The series had been stagnating, to say the least, but I think the latest Disgaea is the best since the original Disgaea game. Still, even the weaker editions were something I usually would spend 100+ hours on, so they are easily worth the purchase price in my eyes.

I would honestly purchase it if it had that.
The mobile port I wasn't aware of but I've experienced the DS version first hand and it's obvious that it was an afterthought. Even with that there's no harm in trying again in new spaces and it's easier now than it ever has been to self-publish on multiple distribution platforms on various devices. I don't want this to come off as port-begging but it seems like an obvious move, especially since there are various companies out there that would do the brunt of the work for them if they weren't willing to do it in-house.
NISA did port Cladun X2 to steam, even if it was a little rough around the edges and the fact that they seemed to have forgotten that it exists.
Discount it on a steam sale sometime

Still sure they can port D5 to Vita. This used to be their strategy with the previous Disgaea games, and despite being late ports, they do reasonably well in Japan.
