Koei doing Disgaea 2 News
PlayStation 2 News by Tom Bramwell
Koei's announced, not entirely surprisingly, that it will continue its mission to bring Nippon Ichi's brilliant Japanese games to Europe with Disgaea 2.
The PS2 exclusive turn-based strategy RPG is due out this autumn, the publisher said.
Which is good news because we don't like trees and certainly have no interest in watching their leaves turn brown when we might be indoors reacquainting ourselves with Nippon Ichi's peculiar cast of characters.
Along with all the usual turn-based frippery there'll be the ability to stack characters on top of each other to combine powers and unleash special combos and attacks.
You'll also find the game rewards you for your naughtiness. "Think you're badder than you really are and you might just get summoned to court and suffer the shame of being found innocent," Koei advises.
And, as you can see from the screenshots we've got, the game uses a brand new 3D environment with animated sprites and anime cut-scenes too.
We'll bring you more on Disgaea 2 closer to its release.

"I will support Koei by waiting for the European version. Unless they do a THQ all of a sudden and release a rushed port with jerky animation and huge borders."
No borders, but Koei have been guilty of using a rather crappy enlarging technique with Dynasty Warriors that makes the PAL games look blurry. Strange since before DW4 they always did flawless conversions. They also took out the Japanese VO's from Disgaea 1 and put it onto a CD (Not that you'd want the Japanese VO's in this case, the English VO's are awesome) |

Cant wait, never got on with any of the other Nippon Ichi games though. They just didnt charm me as much as Disgaea.
(I still own them all mind). |

"I missed it on PS2 and now it's out of stock everywhere. And plan to move to handheld anyway. :)"
My copy has been offered in the Swapsies threads for ages ;-) /shameless plug |

I personally am glad they are using the original system, I just couldnt get on with the Makai Kingdom/ Phantom Brave system. I liked the basicness of the grids and that.
/bad explaining but gladness. |

I, too, much prefer the Disgaea grid system. Makai Kingdom & Phantom Brave's gridless setup removes a lot of the strategy involved in placing your characters. You can't hold strategic locations and deny enemy characters from passing, making it a heck of a lot harder to keep your physically weaker characters (Archers, Mages etc) from getting slaughtered.
I'll be preordering this on the weekend if I can. Every Koei game released in Australia has been in such small quantities that they're snapped up almost instantly. I learned my lesson after being forced to import La Pucelle. |
