Sorry for the lack of posts, been a bit busy. So being a Disgaea fan, I just had to get the DS version of the game. I was expecting a great game like always, but I think this time, Nippon Ichi did a pretty lazy job. Right off the bat, the first thing I noticed was that Etna’s voice was horrible. It sounds like a cheerleader. Which I didn’t really like. After the little intro thing, I got finally got control of Laharl, and I noticed something else, the music wasn’t as good. Maybe it was because of the DS speaker, but I don’t really mind the music. So it didn’t bother me much. Anyways… I went to do the tutorial, when I noticed that the there wasn’t any voice acting. I was okay with the music, but the lack of voice acting really disappointed me.
(Japanese Version) This part has no voice acting. But in the PSP/PS2 version, there is voice acting at this part.
But, aside from the fact that this game lacks some of the features that made the game feel more alive and quirky. I was pretty impressed. I can understand that probably adding voice acting into a DS game would be too heavy on the size so its understandable that there is not any voice acting. Maybe a little bit more would’ve been great. Compared to the the other versions you have way more characters to unlock now. You can unlock Adell and Rozalin from Disgaea 2, and you can also unlock Plenair.
Yeah, I heard a lot of people like her.
Other then that, there is also a new feature called Prinny Commentary. Where a Prinny talks about the chapter your in. I don’t know the details, since I haven’t unlocked it yet. Basically, this game is like the PSP version, but without the voice acting and bad quality music which can easily be remedied with headphones plugged into the DS.
I didn’t expect this game to be bad. I heard that the cart size of Disgaea DS is pretty small, so why didn’t Nippon Ichi fit in the rest of the content? Well, I guess they wanted to save money, lets hope that they’ll port Disgaea 2 into the DS.
