I'm subscribed to Atlus USA's Prinny Newsletter service. I've received an email concerning the unveilling of Disgaea 4 saying that the game will hit the NA market by "the next summer". That's what was written.
 
edit: here's the image that was in the email:
 

Laharl may not be the main character, but any game that allows for further Prinny abuse is a game I endorse.

Never played a Disgaea game, should I?
 
I'm into JRPG's like Dark Cloud 2, Lost Odyssey, FF9 and more recently Eternal Sonata was better than I expected. I loathed FFX and XII, and liked some aspects of Valkria Profile:Silmeria, though it gets really grind heavy later on.
 
So make an assessment.

Fuck. 
 
I should go try to finish Disgaea 3. 
 
And 1. 
 
Wow I really fucking suck at Disgaea.

Probably August. Like all the other Disgaeas.
 
The new higher res sprites look nice and the music seems good so yeah I'll be looking forward to it.
 
Edit: Here's the video teaser/trailer by the way.

If they add a quick save option so I can take a break from Item Worlding without bailing on it, this will never leave my PS3.

Can't wait! The teaser video was insane!

Nice Dood!

Expect an August 30 release.

i've never been good at Disgaea games... I like them a LOT but... i can never get through them.. ;_;

I poured around 200 hours into the remake of the first one for PSP and loved every minute of it, but after that have never felt compelled to play another Disgaea game.
It looks really nice from that trailer though, so it's a solid maybe for me.
