I completely get that actually.... I freakin' loved Disgaea, and had such expectations for D2.... couldn't get into it at all though on account of really not enjoying the cast what-so-ever.... Funny how pertinent that seems to these games in regard to how much I enjoy em.... I also was rarely impressed with any cast for the "Tales" franchise but loved all those....

[Alisha]

well i really liked adell /rozalyn. i skipped D3 but liked the D4 cast before i had to return the game due to black screens of death. and they had no more copies so i had to get something else.

[AuraChannelerChris]

Weird. I thought the original classes from D1 would appear, but they're replaced with the most recent ones.

[Yggdrasil]

Updated the OP. Next report according to Gematsu is going to be about the reveal of a new character.

[ZeronHitaro]

Hmm; spindly hair antennae, a flat-ish body structure, floofy sleeves...calling it.

Laharl and Flonne's love child from an alternative future where things go to hell (ha ha). D2's plot is going to be Laharl trying to prevent it from coming to pass while adamantly denying the kid is his.

Either that or a younger-sister-I-never-knew about with Japan's infamous love of Brother-Sister love plots with her competing against Flonne.

What's amusing is since this is the Disgaea-verse I can be completely serious with those guesses.

[ZeronHitaro]

You can see her silhouette in the screens linked below and apparently she refers to Laharl as 'big brother.'

...*facepalm* Did I seriously call this?

Meet Laharl's Sister, The Overlord wannabe in Disgaea Dimension 2 -- Source: Siliconera



"Sicily, Laharl's younger sister. She left Heaven and landed in the Netherworld to become a demon. Not just any demon, Sicily wants to overthrow Laharl and become the Overlord of the Netherworld!"

[Klyde Chroma]

I don't know how I feel about this sister business....

Visual progression of these games is never profound.... I think visually you either gotta appreciate the evolution of hand drawn sprites... or just accept that the "meat and potatos" of these games have very little to do with being graphically  amazing.

Now, all I have to say is this.... if we find out that the red haired etna-looking dude is in any way related to etna, I'm gonna be pissed... laharl's sister I suppose I can handle... it was bound to happen.... but next thing you know there is etna's brother.... then two years from now we are playing D3 with laharl's sister and etna's brother as MC's with a (not so clever) gender reversal mirror of the former heroes....

[ZeronHitaro]

Etna's brother was already done. They called him Adell. ;-P

I jest on the claim; but technically if you look at their designs they pretty much look like they were taken from a similar genetic stock.
