I'd ask that you not use them on your site, but it's not like the Europeans would fucking listen. So, uh, every site in the entire world except for sp()ng is allowed to use them. I only ask that you NOT credit me.

P.S. I bought and scanned this JUST FOR GAF so if someone is willing to PayPal me $5 to cover the magazine, get in touch. ;)

Dude did you just post pics of Disgaea 1 and call it Disgaea 2? You could've done that, it would've been easier.
 
GOTY 200?

Anyone know who does the artwork?

Better question: On page 4 does anyone know if the character on the left is male or female? :lol

High-res sprites.

I don't think they are high-res exactly. IIRC the older sprites were actually lower-then-low-res in some weird Genesis sprite ratio or something. I think these are a little higher and maybe are actually real low-res?

I mean it really really doesn't look like these are high-res sprites in the sense of Guilty Gear 640x480 sprites.
 
They need to consult with Gust for their next gen games' graphics (particularly team AT:EM1 and Ar Tonelico).

With that said, I still can't wait for this:D

Well they don't look as pixellated as the ones in Disgaea 1.
 
It looks like they're doing it Phantom Brave style with the SD sprites for battle and the larger sprites for story.
 
Sprites don't seem hi-res to me but they are definitely an improvement over the original's. I can't wait for this.

Thank you very much for the scans JackFrost.
 
A new disgaea game coming out and no one saids anything? :lol
Well even if it looks like Disgaea 1, the graphics look a little shaper and I like that artwork that nipponichi uses for there games. I hope this game doesn't turn out like phantom brave...that game took away my social life, so I had to sell it.

Yeah, definitely not hi-res but a marked improvement. It's getting closer, at least :(

Nevertheless, thank goodness for the scans! Thanks a million, JF.

Oh, if it's not too much to ask... just from skimming the article, can you note any relevant changes that might be exciting for some of us?

Indeed. At least they're making an effort to make the sprites sharper and it is quite an improvement. I can't wait for the day when hi-res sprites become the standard but I fear it may never happen. :(

I didn't play Disgaea so I really am not the right person to ask about changes. :)

Dang. Thanks anyway, though. You should really try Disgaea, unless it's not your thing ;)

Gamespot can:

Disgaea 2 takes place three years after the original, and it features new main characters. Producer Souhei Shinwaka told Dengeki PlayStation that he had originally planned to take the characters from the first game and make them Disgaea 2's heroes. Instead, he created a new world and cast for Disgaea 2 and gave the characters from the original Disgaea, including heroine Etona and the Prinny penguins, supporting roles.

The main character in Disgaea 2 is Adel, a red-haired, hot-tempered 17-year-old. All the people in Adel's world were turned to devils 15 years ago, when the dark lord Xenon appeared and cursed the populace. For unexplained reasons, Adel is the only person unaffected by the curse, and he sets out to fight Xenon and turn his family back into humans. Despite the demonic setting, Disgaea 2 stays true to the series' comedic tradition, often employing dark humor.

Sounds good, and could be a lot of fun. I just hope both Laharl and Flonne will make their return too, like Etna and the Prinny squad. :D
 
Thanks very much for the scans, JackFrost.

The minor upgrade to what still looks like the same engine they've used for the past three games annoys me, but not as much as the fact that, despite my repeated declarations that I'm not buying this game unless Nippon Ichi significantly upgrades the graphics, I'll be paying full price for this the day it comes out in the US and loving it. I do feel a little like I'm buying successive editions of a game like Mario Party at this point, though.

Oh--and those grids have square cells, not hexagonal cells (which is another expectation shattered--thanks for getting my hopes up, Gamespot).

I hope I can import my characters from Disgaea, but that may be too much to ask.

Hopefully this time the game won't increase game length through dumb artificial means, and make people feel so overwhelmed they refuse to play it (like me).

Maybe youre just stupid, stupid head.
 
I never played the original - somehow missed it. I think I need to go back and pick it up because it looks a LOT like my favorite game of all time. FFT

Correct, or not?

It's a SRPG, but it's almost nothing like FFT. In fact, it's much better than FFT. :D
 
Awesome. The loli art is getting tiresome though. I'm sure the actual game will deliver, no doubt. I <3 Disgaea, Phantom Brave, and Makai Kingdom.
