Persona 4, Disgaea 3 coming to Europe News
PlayStation 2 PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese
Square Enix has aquired the European publishing rights for Persona 4 and Disgaea 3, with usual distributor KOEI cut out of the loop.
That's according to a Christmas newsletter for the Final Fantasy creator, which was spotted by the eagle-eyed Siliconera.
According to the document, Persona 4 will be out in spring 2009, while Disgaea 3 is given an unspecific date for sometime next year.
Persona 4 follows the very well received role-playing game Persona 3, which Eurogamer stamped a sparkling 9/10 on at the beginning of the year. So far, all we know of Persona 4 is contained in a trailer
over on Eurogamer TV.
Disgaea 3, on the other hand, has been thoroughly picked apart by Eurogamer, and awarded a glimmering 8/10.
Square Enix has also picked up Rhapsody DS and Disgaea DS for European release in the spring.

Persona 4 has been given some excellent reviews. I so can't wait for that game! Only a day left before it gets posted to my house in England! :D WOO! So excited because it's going to be the RPG of the year :P

"Absence of Justice is slated for a 2009 release here in Europe and will be followed by two other games from acclaimed developer Nippon Ichi: DISGAEA® DS and RHAPSODY™: A Musical Adventure. As ever, we´ll have much more to tell you about these tantalising titles nearer the time."
:) That was in the section about Disgaea 3.

I'm currently playing Persona 3 - it is literally unlike anything I've ever played, absolutely fucking brilliant. Persona 4 apparently from the reviews is even better...thank you Squenix

Seriously Koei, its been nearly a year since the Jap release of Disgaea 3 and its due "sometime next year"
get your act together, this is laughable, especially when its been out in the US for a fair time now. |

"Damn I just caught up in getting Odin Sphere, Grimgimoire, finishing off Persona 3"
Same here, just finished DDS1, am currently playing DDS2 as well as Odin Sphere and Ring of Red. GrimGrimmoire is still in shrink wrap as is Persona 3, Disgaea 2 and Valkyria Chronicles. There's just way too much to play... |

Yeah, thats the worst right there. I actually thought that Koei have been pretty good this year; Persona 3, Persona 3 FES and the PS2 version of Warriors Orochi 2 are all games that they put out when most other publishers wouldn't have bothered given the obvious lack of profit involved. |

This news makes me happy. Although I do get to look at my NTSC copy soon (which I may keep for collection purposes of one of the final great PS2 games).

With trophies being mandatory this january, how would it apply to games like Disgaea 3 that are already out in 2 other territories and simply being ported. would they need to comply with the trophy patching? All things to ponder further.

Grimgrimoire, Persona 3, Odin Sphere, still unfinished DS 1 and 2! Plus too many of the hot/reasonably good games I still havent played such as Far Cry 2, CODWAW and so on!
This year I seem to be actually drowning in games more than I did on previous years plus new full time and a half job and being a full time Dad to the two demanding kids and wife tapping her foot at me (like Jet Set Willy's Maria)! Argh! I can see my hobby starting to dangerously fails about wildly, now only if someone break my leg or summat at work in work place accident then I can blissfully play games in peace! |

Stopped playing thgrough the brilliant Persona 3 as I knew FES was coming out over here, so I thought I'd savour the experience with that one. Well I haven't been able to find the game ANYWHERE!? Just my bloody luck! Would like to finish it before P4 comes out over here though, as that game is looking just as brilliant!

@andywilkie35 - you should try the Persona 1 & 2, too. Quite different to Persona 3 (no school stuff) but they have a similar feel and the general idea behind them is also great (your team grows to include different job types and those job types can combine to create new interviewing methods and you use those to gain new personas).
