- The rise and fall of the AA games industry is quite a sad thing to have witnessed, as there is generally a wide divide between the indies, and the giant AAA games.
Nippon Ichi Software is arguably one of those few remaining AA studios left in business, and their statement made for the 20th anniversary Playstation celebration was quite, well, depressing:

So there you have it. Although the game hasn’t been confirmed for the west quite yet, you might want to consider importing it? I really don't want to lose NIS. :'( But given normal trends in sales estimates, their expectations are probably pretty low. The only real danger is them being completely ignored in favour of Bloodborne

Yes. It's a fun SRPG, kinda like FF Tactics on Adrenaline with greater customization and leveling. Some of our smileys are from there, like these guys who explode when you throw them at enemies. | |

I imagine they'll still be able to bring it to the west. It'll be nice to see what they're doing with their first PS4 release. | |

I'll probably get at least one too, even though I doubt I'll have a PS4 by then. | |

| Not gonna happen, unfortunately. They are limiting themselves to one console and this would shatter their sales record. | |

Couldn't handle it. - Quote :
- Niikawa stated that the number of characters that are able to be displayed on-screen at once has grown tremendously. Instead of the 10 or so characters that could be shown on the PS3, the PS4 can display 100 or more. That's, uh...kind of a lot, huh? It's going to be interesting to see how that works out.

You should, NIS Games are normally pretty fun. They've been getting a lot of flak over censorship recently though. http://nisamerica.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&p=836344&sid=b9afed169d38c80641d1b01dc2cd3dd9#p836347 - Jordan wrote:

As is very typical of him, Mr. Niikawa’s original statements in Japanese were in jest, which unfortunately doesn't quite come across when taken out of context and in translation.
Mr. Niikawa’s original comment during a live interview with Nico Nico was actually that he might be fired, however, this was somehow turned into the below comment by a Japanese blogger. 「ディスガイア5が計画通り売れなかったら来年業界にいないかも。Bloodborneと丸 被りになっちゃったけど両方買って欲しい。」 We asked Mr. Niikawa to clarify and he said that the correct spirit and translation of the comment is, "If Disgaea 5 does not sell as planned, I, as the producer, might need to leave the Japanese gaming industry. (LOL)"
Mr. Niikawa further adds, "This comment was simply self-deprecating humor and in no way did it mean or imply that Nippon Ichi Software as a company is going bankrupt or is in financial difficulties. I was merely trying to use humor in order to get the point across that we are committed to selling 150,000 copies of Disgaea 5.”
Hopefully that calms some of your concerns. We're planning to be around and bringing fun titles to the West for a long while yet! | |

| I really love Disgaea. It has a lot of charm and humor to it. The gameplay itself is fluid and engaging. Throwing prinnies is a magical experience. You should buy it if you like anime or strategy games. Not like there are any other PS4 games to play anyways.
I think they should expand the series to PC. Valkyrie Chronicles has been selling a lot better than anyone expected. It's a fairly untapped market for PC gamers. | |

It takes a while before the average PC owning gamer has a PC as capable as a console. Even if they released 3 or 4, with the amount going on most people wouldn't be able to play them except for actual PC gamers, which is a pretty small market for NIS in the West. They could definitely port 1 and 2 though. | |
