Gaming Nippon Ichi

[MirielleChan]

Has anyone here played their games? I really love them, even though I've only played Disgaea: Hour of Darkness and Phantom Brave so far. I like the anime style of art, as well as the tactical gameplay involved.

Ah yes I worship Nippon Ichi ^^ One of my first Playstation games was Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure and no matter how many times it gets bashed on X-play I still love it. I love all their games, the humor is strange and wonderful, the plots are the same and the battle systems usually rock. Rhapsody's battle system was meh but the story more than made up for it.

I also love Disgaea, Disgaea and Rhapsody are my two favorites. I always look forward to their games but sadly the battle systems are usually too deep for me and I get stuck ^^;; I'm not so good with strat games. I'm good with them to a point you see...then it goes downhill.

[font=trebuchet ms]Nippon Ichi, which I'm guessing means "Number One," has a very suitable name. They've made several of my favorite games, including Disgaea, La Puccelle Tactics, and Phantom Brave. I kinda missed out on Rhapsody, I've been looking for good deals on eBay. Anyways, I'm good at these games, but I'm too dependent on their main characters. In Disgaea, my Laharl is about a thousand levels stronger than any other character of mine.

I like Phantom Brave's control over abilities. You can combine characters and weapons and give any skill you want to any character, it really balances out well. I managed to make Marona my most powerful attacking character after I found the right moves for her. It just feels like they did so many right things with this game, it really makes you wonder why someone didn't come out with these cool ideas sooner.[/font]

Actually, it means "Japan One" I think. I thought it was "Number One" a while back but someone told me otherwise.

I enjoy Phantom Brave's gridless movement/action battles ^^

I like their games. Out of them I've enjoyed Disgaea the most, largely because of its unique atmosphere and attitude. I feel that it's the most cohesive of their recent SRPG titles as well.

I think their style would be well suited to a DS or PSP game. I'd like to see something from them on one of those, if they're not doing something already.

There [I]is[/I] actually one coming out for PSP. Can't remember what its called at the moment, though.

[Meggido]

The PSP game is called Generation of Chaos. They also have another PS2 game coming out soon called Makai Kingdom or something similar.

[Killer7]

Yeah I want both Makai and Generation of Choas, even though I have only played on of their game, La Pucellle tactics. I just love thier style of gameplay so much. Oh and the comedy in their games is refreshing.

I currently own all of the PS2 games by Nippon Ichi.

Disgaea: Great game, and the best tactics game ever. Way too much to do though.

La Pucelle Tactics: This is my least favorite one simply because its too complicated.

Atelier Iris: Very fun but very easy RPG. I love the battles in this game...

Phantom Brave: very interesting and fun game, I just hate how its speed based...

Makai Kingdom: This one is crazy and hard. I like it, but not as much as Phantom Brave.

I just got Atelier Iris...

That one is really good.

Disgaea is also now rediculously rare, they stopped making it so soon youll be able to sell your copy on ebay for like 100.
