I thought a little about it and if they announced DR2 before DR was even out they'd hopefully get some serious flak for it. Both games are bundled as one in Japan and sold for the price of one full game. NISA cut one game off and translated it (and they're selling it at full price) to see if there is enough interest for a second one. If they announced the second game without even gauging the interest properly (with sales, not the vocality of the fanbase on the internet) they'd effectively be selling you one game for the price of two (or more accurately here two for the price of four). Even if they were planning on doing that from the beginning I'd hope they'd at least let some time pass so it's not as blatant.
the amount of text they had to translate, edit, and voice, the amount testing they had to do, it's so absolutely huge for such a niche genre that the only way to make a profit and ensure more games like this would be to do the first and then the second.
it's like if we never got ace attorney and the first time we got the series was based off the 3ds ports within the trilogy collection, one at a time. there's a massive amount of text to go through and it would not be a profitable venture to do it all at once.
Yeah I agree about the effort, that kind of only came to my mind once I submitted the post. It would still be weird to see an announcement of it before the first game even released. I doubt they're going to bother with more than one Vita game right now anyway and I see the Neptunia remake as a more likelier candidate.
Never played Disgaea.
Is it too late?
Well, they'd voluntarily commit to release the second chapter before even knowing how the first game is gonna perform. That'd be pretty ballsy.would it?

Reminds me of a certain TitS game.Well, they'd voluntarily commit to release the second chapter before even knowing how the first game is gonna perform. That'd be pretty ballsy.

They've already completely sold out of LE's and the game isn't even out yet.
games are ordered months before they actually release. they know sales numbers long before it actually hits the market.
I don't know how financially responsible would be basing your expected sales exclusively on pre-orders and betting on it. Don't get me wrong, I hope it's gonna sell gangbusters and I will gladly support them, but I understand that a small company handling such a "content heavy" game would like to play it safe before committing to the following, probably even more huge, project.
Err, they're already "bothering" with 3 Vita games (Danganronpa, Demon Gaze, Neptunia PP) right now, not to mention the additional ones they're publishing in Europe.Yeah I agree about the effort, that kind of only came to my mind once I submitted the post.

Is Disgaea 3 overly difficult? I enjoyed Fire Emblem, and it's sort of the same type of game. I have it on my Vita but haven't gotten around to it, is it accessible or it meant more for hardcore SRPG fans?
No, it's not overly difficult, it's probably close to Fire Emblem Awakening on Normal/Casual, maybe harder if you don't figure out techniques like chain-throwing. I guess the catch is, Disgaea has a ton of mechanics, but they're almost all optional, so you can figure things out at your own pace. If you want, you can play through like it's a simple, classic RPG, although it wouldn't be much fun. I'd say Disgaea is more accessible than Final Fantasy Tactics and the older Fire Emblems.
That's good to know. Saw the game at a friend's house once and was quite overwhelmed by the huge amount of different mechanics. Maybe I should give Disgaea 3 on the Vita a shot.
3 on Vita is great because it incorporates a lot of mechanics from 4 on the PS3. I think it's a safe guess that 4 Vita has mechanics from Disgaea D2? Maybe someone could confirm this?
They've already completely sold out of LE's and the game isn't even out yet.
Aside from Mugne Soul every NISA LE sold out way before launch.
Even Time & Eternity.
This makes me think things, because of other things. Good things.What? An NIS America press briefing on my birthday?
Hmmmm.
It was Houk on the official NISA message boards FYI.we know that someone somewhere said sales are higher than expected for dr1, so we know there's some positive news going forward on that front. i'm not sure how much longer they're doing neptunia stuff with idea factory international being a thing.
Yup. I don't think their LEs are big runs at all. Even the ones where they do bigger runs (ie Disgaea) must be massively underproduced for demand because they tend to sell out in about 48 hours.
It would be funny if they tease the announcement of Super Danganronpa 2 but don't formally announce it.

Things. I can't say.what other things?
Things. I can't say.
I don't have any secret info FYI, it's just an educated guess.
Let's hope. XDah okay. i'll bet your educated guesses are probably pretty good though.
Sorcery Saga is a good game.Oh god forbid I was not talking in that sense. I meant like overall quality of the games.
Oh man i completely forgot Extetra, looking at the recent trend i would say that it has HUGE chances of being localized imo :\I have this weird feeling there'll be something totally out of left field, like Ciel Nosurge or Exstetra or something.
Akiba's Trip 2 was already teased by XSEED, S;G on consoles is not going to happen, sadly.Imo it's too early for Daganronpa 2, but i would not say no lol.
Games with big chances of localizations are:
Disgaea4
Criminal Girls(for some reason i thought its localization was already announced lol)
Neptunia 1 Rebirth
Some visual novel(Fate, Steins Gate or others)
Some PSP game
Games i would like to see:
True Night of the Kamaitachi
Damascus Gear
Assault Gunners
Labyrinth Cross Blood Infinity
Sorcery Saga is a good game.
Oh man i completely forgot Extetra, looking at the recent trend i would say that it has HUGE chances of being localized imo :
EDIT:
Akiba's Trip 2 has good chances of localization too imo.
Because you can gauge a games performance by how many preorders it gets. That's why preorders exist, to see how many units to ship out. It could be possible they are already satisfied with the preorder numbers to justify getting started on the second one. It has happened before with games, like Tales of Xillia 2.I don't see why people think it's Super Danganropa 2.
David Alonzo already said it "all depends on how the first game performs". The first one hasn't even been released yet.

Good chance it won't be announced, but it isn't crazy to think it has a chance of being announced.
