Quantcast



From the trailer, it seems that this game is one part Advance Wars, one part GTA, and a whole big helping of RPG. Now, I say that it's like a GTA because you can go around and steal stuff, attack the townspeople, and ... gain 1000 levels instantly? Not only that, the game rewards you for this sort of scrupulous behavior. You can even force the townspeople to join your army. Hooray conscription!

Anyways, the game looks like it'll be the perfect thing for me to keep playing my PS2. I missed out on Disgaea (and won't play Disgaea 2 until I obtain the original), and this game has the same squad system as before. Some of it confused me, like the "gain 1000 levels INSTANTLY," but I'll pass that off as something ridiculous and a bit of a joke within the game. I'll be sure to follow this game as more news comes out.

Looks real badass. I like the half 3d half 2d style.

"GAIN 1000LEVELS INSTANT"

How can you love NIS without ever knowing the touch of a Disgaea? I hope you at least had a chance to check out Makai Kingdom.

Anyway, you can gain mass amounts of levels by putting an unleveled character in your party while fighting on a high-level map. Its not uncommon to jump hundreds of levels in XP through this method, and with all the different bonuses you can earn, its not completely unthinkable that you could do 1000 levels instantly.

Man, they're still doing games for the PS2? The least they could do is port it to PS3 and call it a PS3 game like the Wii does with GC stuff heh.

Yeah i agree, if they could have had GoW2, and pushed okami forward along with a few others. Then the PS3 might be faring a bit better right now, mind you i say bit. It wouls still be getting its ass handed to it.

Wow. So, this is a broken RPG?

Don't get me wrong, it sounds awesome. But with that kind of leveling ability, and the apparent uselessness of money, how on earth is this game going to be challenging at all?

In conclusion, Japan is the balls.

"the people, the creatures, even the battle system itself... this game will let you annihilate anything!" Totally loled when he said that.

Sounds hot.

You spelled "ridiculous" wrong in your article.

@Pangloss: You have never played Disgaea have you?

Holy friggin balls, this is awesome. I'm so glad Nippon Ichi keeps putting out games, they are all so great.

I'm guessing the gain 1000 levels instantly is a temp battle spell or something that makes your character superpowerful for that one battle, or even that one attack. I would seriously doubt it's permanent.

the squads Merged thing makes this game different then the other ones
so I'm going to have to pick it up because of that
and well...... you can attack towns and steal things

it looks like it runs off an grind. I'm happy if it really dose because I'm getting tired of that other point to where you want to go thing ugh I hated that.
the only thing good about it is it allowed Ring outs? or whatever its called. I abused that so much hehehe
throwing high lvl bad guys out quick heh

@ Sockapal

Cause, of course it'd be brilliant marketing to sell solely to a system that has a horrible playerbase even compared to its own predecessor, especially with an extremely niche title like NIS is known for. Seriously, think before you type stuff out.
