Disgaea Dimension 2 [PS3]

[briareos_kerensky]

Nippon Ichi will publish a new Disgaea game on March 20, 2013 in Japan.
Unlike the previous sequels, Disgaea D2 will continue the story of the first game. Screenshots haven't been released yet but NI showed off the redrawn sprites of Laharl, Flonne and Etna.
There will be a special edition for 10,800yen with an art book, soundtrack CD, Flonne and Etna figures, and a code for the three main characters in their classic costumes. The regular edition will cost "only" 7140yen.

Lord give me strength, i'll need it to not get caught up kn the charms of the special edition.

I'll skip this altogether. I've spent a lot of time on Disgaea and Phantom Brave (I guess 600hrs between the two), but only played an handful of hours in Disgaea 2 and Makai Kingdom; probably haven't even played an hour of D3 and ignored D4. Sure, Etna and Flonne figures sound tempting but it's a game I won't play...unless they shift from power levelling to strategy, which is unlikely to happen as everyone wants 999k damage from Nippon Ichi games.

Dengeki specified that Disgaea D2 is not Disgaea 5, as Disgaea 5 is already in development, but part of the "Disgaea Dimension" series, which will probably feature direct sequel to the "normal" Disgaea games.

I haven't played disgaea since getting slightly too obsessed with training the perfect prinny squad in no one, so I've obviously missed something regarding sardines?
