[edit] New Classes

[edit] New Playable Characters

[edit] Magichange

A feature from Disgaea 3, Magichange lets you turn Monster Class Characters into Weapons for Humanoids to use. An added feature is Magichange 2, which lets you add a second monster onto a Magichanged character, allowing the Equipped Humanoid access to the second monster's Unique Skills.

[edit] Throw and Receive

Another feature from Disgaea 3, Throw and Receive lets you throw characters and have other humanoid characters catch them. If you throw a character at an ally Monster, the character will instantly be thrown a certain number of spaces in the direction the monster is facing.

[edit] New Bills

New bills have been added to the game such as ones that let you add many of the new playable characters (Zetta, Prism Red, Captain Gordon, ETC) to your party and the new Even Stronger Enemies and Even Weaker Enemies Bills which helps boost enemy's levels much quicker.

[edit] Other Features

  • All Anime Cutscenes (the Opening and the bonus scene with Laharl) have been retained (and in extremely excellent quality)
  • When a character is about to attack, an animation will start before they attack. This is a visual gimmick to mask the loading times needed before an attack is done (as just watching a character stand there while waiting for the attack to load is boring).
  • Pringer X is a bonus boss in the game, fightable sometime after the battle with Baal.
  • You can now change the combat speed of the game, making Power Grinding go by much faster.

[edit] Downloadable Content

New Characters will be available for download off the PlayStation Network Store. The list below shows the characters and the game they are from:

  • Gig - Soul Nomad and the World Eaters
  • Almaz von Almadine Adamant - Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice
  • Dark Eclair - La Pucielle Tactics
  • Pram - Makai Kingdom
  • Marona - Phantom Brave
  • Ash - Phantom Brave
  • Pleinair - Disgaea: Hour of Darkness
  • Sapphire Rhodonite - Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice
  • Majin Hanako (unconfirmed name) - Unknown
  • Mable - Princess Antiphona

Also available are packs that unlocks special weapons themed after the Japanese Playstation Network mascots Toro and Kuro. So far, it is unknown if this content will be available in the North American Region version of the game.

The North American version of the DLC was released around November 25, 2009. However there were various errors with the DLC. All the characters (except for Dark Eclair, Gig and Mable) were released at the same time. Further more, many characters suffered from gameplay glitches such as Clips, Chirps and Buzzes as voices, Severely hampered range with their Exclusive Special Attacks, Cut In Graphic Glitches and various other problems. Also, the DLC Cutscenes were also messed up, having characters appear in the cutscenes that the player doesn't have at the moment. The following week, the DLC was removed from the Playstation store so the errors could be fixed.

[edit] Trivia

  • Once Adell becomes a senator, you can pass bills that allow you to see trailers for other Nippon Ichi games. The first bill is proposed by Aramis and lets you view the trailer for Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero? for the PSP. The second bill is proposed by Mao and lets you view the trailer for Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice for the PS3. The last bill is proposed by Overlord Badman and lets you view the trailer for Holy Invasion Of Privacy, Badman! What Did I Do To Deserve This?, also for the PSP.
