NIS: Summer Greeting Card is Possible First Look at Disgaea 4

NIS is known for practicing the Japanese tradition of sending greeting cards for the summer and winter months to different media outlets — how cordial of them!  Recently this image was revealed of this year’s mid-summer greeting card sent to Dengeki.  The obvious question is, are we looking at the first image of Disgaea 4?  It’s easy to jump to that conclusion, especially considering that the game is reportedly scheduled to be released this year in Japan, meaning the game must be nearly complete.

When it comes to NIS greetings cards though, they are known for creating rumors that never come to fruition, either as a joke or because of some major decision changes.  We saw this with Makai Wars, as well as the claim that poor Asagi would finally receive her own game.  For that reason, this post is getting the ‘rumor’ tag to avoid any jump-to-conclusion-mats.

The card shows four characters who are unquestionably drawn by Takehito Harada.  One of which has a prinny outfit on, somewhat similar to the one Asagi wears in the (hopefully?) upcoming Prinny sequel.  The person in the foreground reminds me a bit of Zeta both in dress and posture.  Does anyone else think the girl in green is dressed like a Putty?

Odds are this is simply a catalyst for stirring up excitement about Disgaea 4 among different major publications.  It has certainly succeeded in stirring up excitement for me — if this really is an image of the next Disgaea I am pleased and can’t wait for something concrete from NIS.
