Your eyes do not deceive you. That is indeed a North American copy of Disgaea 3 for the Playstation of the same number. How did I get it? I had to do some… things. I don’t wanna talk about it.* All I know is I will be devoting all of my free time to it.

Expect an IN-DEPTH hands-on-review/preview in about a week.

Since Disgaea 3’s release date is getting close fast, I figured I would go over the posts I have made thus far with a fine-toothed comb. Tedious? You better believe it.

Most of the changes are simply differences in my translation and what NIS decided to go with. Here is a breakdown of whats new:

• Gender specific jobclasses: Many both-sex jobs feature different names for the male and female. This wasn’t the case in the Japanese game, so I couldn’t really have anticipated it.
  • Female Samurai = Lady Samurai
  • Male Archer = Ranger
  • Male Cleric = Clergy
  • Female Warrior = Valkyrie
  • Brawler Male = Martial Artist
  • Brawler Female = Fight Mistress
  • Female Gunner = Gunslinger
  • Female Mage = Witch
  • Male Mage = Magician (I like Skull better)
• Miscellaneous jobclass differences: More translation differences.
  • Berserker = Brute Warrior
  • Shaman = Sorcerer
  • Shinigami = Death
  • Ifrit = Flame Demon
• System related names: Terms having to do with the game’s battle system or mechanics.
  • Ma-change = Magichange
  • Ma-bility = Evility

That’s pretty much it. If you wanna take a look at the revised articles you can of course check them out here.

*On a serious note, I would like to formally thank NIS for allowing me to preview such an amazing game. Their support is more than I could have ever expected to gain from my humble blog.
