Disgaea 7 - (coś za szybka) zapowiedź nowej gry od NISA.

 Witam mam wiadomość, dla fanów serii Disgaea. Po niezbyt udanej szóstce, NISA zapowidziało Disgaea 7. Niestety obawiam się, że trochę za szybko, bo siódemka aż za bardzo przypomina mi klon do Disgaea 6, a premiera już 26 stycznia w Japonii (na szczęście odrazu na PS4,PS5 i Switch, niestety nie wiadomo nic o wersji PC). Zresztą spójrzcie na poniższe informacje na temat nowej gry od NISA:

■ Introduction

Nippon Ichi Software will release Disgaea 7 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Switch on January 26, 2023 in Japan.

Disgaea is a simulation RPG series set in an over-the-top Netherworld, where demons, angels, heroes, and evil lords run amok. Since the release of the first entry in 2003, it has been favored by fans for its “game system that allows you to do anything and everything” and “infinite replayability,” and has stayed Nippon Ichi Software’s core franchise.

In Disgaea 7, the story is set in a world called the “Hinomoto Netherworld Cluster,” which is inspired by Japanese culture. Our heroes will fight through the world in order to regain their lost Bushido. Many characters designed by Takehito Harada will appear, and the Disgaea series’ signature “replayability features” and “over-the-top battle systems” have been further enhanced.

■ The Setting is a Japanese-esque Netherworld! Slash Through the Corrupt Shogunate with Your Bushido!

The Disgaea series is a simulation RPG set in an over-the-top Netherworld, where demons, angels, heroes, and evil lords run amok.

In Disgaea 7, the story is set in a world called “Hinomoto Netherworld Cluster,” which is inspired by Japanese culture. The protagonists, wandering samurai Fuji and otaku girl Piririka, will fight through the world in order to regain the impoverished Hinomoto from invaders and overthrow the Ooedo Shogunate.

On the game systems front, the series’ signature replayability features return, alongside even more over-the-top new systems. Please look forward to a completely new Disgaea experience!

—Characters can turn into giants in Disgaea 7!?

—The overwhelming exhilaration of mowing down enemies with insane damage!

“Hinomoto Netherworld Cluster”

The “Onsen Netherworld,” where hot springs spit out evil spirits instead of water; the “Sardine Netherworld,” which exists in a super-sized space sardine; the “Shikoku Netherworld,” which has a gigantic whirlpool that destroyed countless demon ships; and so on…

In a world made up of multiple unique Netherworlds, the inhabitants followed a code unlike other demons called “Bushido.”

Although that is a thing of the past. Hinomoto has changed since the arrival of the demon admiral Opener and his navy.

The demons of Hinomoto abide the laws Opener has laid down called “Hinomoto Destroy Hatto.”

“Hinomoto Destroy Hatto”

• One: Destroy Bushido.
• Two: Anyone who complains about their salary or taxes will be killed.
• Three: Say “no thanks” to friendship or love.
• Four: Please help the strong and defeat the weak.
• Five: Fights are what make the Netherworld, so feel free to inflict violence.

…all who do not abide by these laws will be punished by the Harakiri.

Eventually, the once honored samurais disappeared from Hinomoto…

This is a story about a girl who admires Bushido, and a young man who hates Bushido, as they fight for what they believe in, in a world that forgot honor.

The super-naive Hinomoto otaku.

A young CEO of a company who comes from another Netherworld, brought up in a sheltered upbringing. She is a Hinomoto otaku, although most of her knowledge is gathered from different films and manga so it often differs from the reality of Hinomoto.

To co mi się podoba w Disgaea 7:

- setting tradycyjnej Japonii

- powrót odblokowania waepon skills przez waepon mastery z Disgaea 1-5

- wracają wszystkie generic klasy z Disgaea 5

- twórcy obiecują znacznie więcej zawartości względem Disgaea 6, szczególnie w Post-Game

- nowa mechaniki ,,Dodeka MAX'' i Item Reincarnation brzmią obiecująco

- zdaje się, że twórcy wracają do standardowego maksymalnego 9999 lvl-u

- interfejs z Disgaea 5

 

Co mi się nie podoba w Disgaea 7:

- wygląd głównego protagonisty znowu sugeruje ten sam typ bohatera co w Disgaea 6, Valvatorez z D4 wciąż nie do pobicia

- wręcz straszliwy recykling assetów z Disgaea 6

- oprawa to nadal proste 3D rodem z mobilek, zamiast ręcznie rysowanych sprite'ów w HD z Disgaea 5 (budżetowość)

- Item Reincarnation prawdopodobnie zastąpi moją ulubioną mechanikę ,,Magi Change'' z Disgaea 2-5

- brak jakichkolwiek zmian w Item World

- twórcy zostawili tą bezsensowną opcję Auto-Battle z Disgaea 6

- bitwy rankingowe on-line na papierze brzmią fajnie, no ale jak twórcy planują to zbalansować ?

- szybka zapowiedź D7, zaledwie rok po premierze D6, sugeruje pośpiech i że będzie to tylko taka ulepszona ,,szóstka''. Już nie wspominając o tym, że może to negatywnie wpłynąć również na optymalizację, którą D6 miało na Switchu tragiczną.
