god thanks for the update, so good

**Hiryo** · 2010-11-12 15:07

No translation about that VS thing. That looks pretty hot. As well as that new item world(?) map layout?

**Tobi** · 2010-11-12 18:15

Which screens is that? And you're probably talking the new Map Editor.

**Tobi** · 2010-11-12 18:36

Dengeki PlayStation posted a more detailed report about Disgaea
4′s online features. Players can send out their characters pre-
programmed with AI options on a ship and out to the Internet. If you
have the option to let invaders appear in your game on you might
run into a party created by another player.

The magazine hints that characters can be enemies or allies. Nippon
Ichi also created a bounty ranking system where wandering parties
are ranked by strength. It appears if you defeat a bounty party
you can earn money, 42,090,546 HL for defeating Fu-ka in the
example above.

Nippon Ichi has another magic cameo. Bikkuriman appear when you
cast Omega Star. Meito Anizawa shows up when you cast Omega
Fire, so all "Omega" level magic may have a cameo.

And it looks like the rumors about a map editing system are true.
Dengeki shared this screenshot and said (with a teasing question
mark) the first built-in map edit feature.

There's more shit than I thought, with actual Dengeki post, then the screens from rpgland as well

Some info on Desco

The ultimate weapon girl who dreams of becoming the last boss

Story

The last boss who is sealed in Hell now awakens...
The last boss who has been advocating the overthrow of the
Government stands in their way! Against the enemy who sees a
figure with an ominous air and peculiar shadow, the last boss stood
ready. However, the one who appeared there was a lovely girl who
has a lisp!?

"Understood, des. Desco will massacre everyone, des."

The source of the chaos that has already drowned the whole world
in a sea of hellfire is Ultimate Weapon DESCO!!!

Desco, who has always put up efforts to become the last boss
even in prison. After she meets with Valbatoze, she will idolize
Fuuka as "oneesama".

... Then, are a three-stage transformation or tempting the hero
with half of the world as bait also possible?

Desco with a charming and mysterious creature (?) on her back.
Since she's aiming to be the last boss, could it be that her actual
power is quite high despite her appearances?

Desco
CV: Mizuno Manabi

Her official name is "Ultimate Weapon DESCO". She was born as an
ultimate weapon that will destroy the world, but before she had
fulfilled her goal, her disposal had been decided and she had been
confined in the prison of Hell. Even after her disposal was decided,
she shows another side of her where she studies every day in
order to become a splendid last boss.

**Tobi** · 2010-11-17 18:38

New info inbound! I might have to make double/triple post due to limited text unfortunately. Siel translated a bit already, so gonna copy his post.

http://news.dengeki.com/elem/000/000/320/320954/

The last boss has become the heroine's little sister!? Introduction
of new information about "Makai Senki Disgaea 4" all at once

[page 1]
Nippon Ichi Software published new information about "Makai Senki
Disgaea 4", a game for PS3 that will go on sale 2011/02/24.

"Makai Senki Disgaea 4" is the newest work of the SRPG "Makai
Senki Disgaea" series with its popular unprecedented story and deep
yarikomi-ness. With Valbatoze, a vampire who does not suck blood,
as the protagonist, the story that is depicted in this work is one
about the world reformation that begins from the prison "Hell"
that is located at the base of the Netherworld. In the game, the
taste of politics will be incorporated; there will be a system where
you can strengthen and raise characters through administration,
ministry appointment, and the like.

In this time's article, we'll report new information such as the
introduction of new characters and the new system's educational
guidance and pirates.

My last boss is this cute!?
[ore no rasubosu ga konna ni kawaii!?]

Who we'll introduce this time is the one said to have been created
as a last boss, the Ultimate Weapon Girl "DESCO". This girl who had
been practically disposed of appears to idolize Fuuka as a big sister
and seems to have become an ally of Valbatoze and company.

Story Outline ~continuation of last time~
The "last boss" who has been imprisoned in a special chamber of
"Hell" stands in Valbatoze and company's way!

Enveloped by an ominous atmosphere, a peculiar shadow that has
entered stands ready... but when the fog cleared, the one who was
revealed was the adorable girl with a lisp, Desco!?

During the battle, Desco displays a glimpse of her true power as a
last boss, but Valbatoze and company narrowly manage to
successfully repel her and obtain victory.

She says that although she was created to become the last boss,
her disposal had been decided before she would accomplish that and
she had been sealed in a special chamber of Hell.

Desco CV: Mizuno Manabi
"Understood, des. Desco will massacre everyone like a last boss,
des."

She was born into this world as the ultimate weapon that would
destroy the world, but before she accomplishes her purpose, her
disposal had been decided and she had been locked up in a corner of
the prison of Hell.

Even after her disposal had been decided, she continues to study in
order to be able to become a splendid last boss. For some reason,
she will idolize Fuuka and call her "oneesama".

The new class, "Yin Yang Technician", makes its entry!
We'll also introduce generic characters that can be created with
the Administration System's Character Maker. What we'll report
this time will be about a new class, Yin Yang Technician, and
monsters, Mystic Beast and Succubus.

Confident girl
Timid girl

[text under image]
When making a character, it's possible to select a personality from
several patterns. Depending on the personality that is selected,
there'll be effects on what they say during battles and their
activity in a certain situation.
[a certain situation = educational guidance?]

Yin Yang Technician
A male-type class newly appearing starting from this work.

Mystic Beast
A beast with swift movements. Their attack power will increase as
they move.

Succubus
The owner of an attractive body that causes eyes of males to
fixate on her. Shakes a lot.

For rude girls... er, enemies, punishment is necessary!
The new system where one makes enemies who have been
prisoners in battle submit while making proper use of "candy and
whip" is the "Educational Guidance" that we will introduce from now
on. If you perform Educational Guidance, it'll be possible to make
demands such as extorting money from the prisoners, getting
information about a treasure's location, or making the prisoner into
an ally.

[text under first group of images]
To perform Educational Guidance, it'll first be necessary to create
a Demon Area where the evil symbol "Guidance Classroom" is
established.

[text under second group of images]
During a battle, if you throw an enemy into the gate where ally
characters come out from, a battle between the members on
standby and the thrown enemy will start. If the members on
standby splendidly obtain victory over the enemy, it'll be possible to
make the enemy into a prisoner.

[text under third group of images]
If you establish a Guidance Classroom and make enemies into
prisoners, you'll finally be able to perform Educational Guidance.
Select a character you'd like to make submit from the list of
prisoners and punish! If you perform Guidance, it'll be possible to see
various reactions depending on the details of that Guidance and the
class or race of the prisoner.

**Tobi** · 2010-11-17 18:47

Benefits of Educational Guidance

Obtain Money:

Extort money from a weakened prisoner. Show your Netherworld
mercilessness, going as far as pulling out butt hair!

Make a prisoner into an ally:
Able to make a submitted prisoner into an ally. Different from the
Character Maker, since it's possible to make an ally with a high
level, it should be good for when fire power is needed right away?

Ask about the treasure's location:
Get information about the treasure's location. If you go search for
the treasure at the specified map, a special treasure will appear. If
you can splendidly obtain its contents, you'll obtain a rare items
such as customization parts for the pirate ship (mentioned later).

It's possible to immediately move from the Administration System
screen to the battle map. Since there are also features such as the
display of an icon that denotes the appearance of rare items, let's
make good use of them.

[page 2]
A huge dungeon that extends inside an item!
A dungeon called Item World awaits inside each item such as
weapons, armor, and tools that appear in "Makai Senki Disgaea".
Each time a floor in this dungeon consisting of multiple structures is
completed, the level of the item also rises by 1 and its abilities are
strengthened. It's not only characters that can be trained; items
can also be trained to the extreme. Truly, this is system
distinctive of "Makai Senki Disgaea". Furthermore, in this work, this
item world and the "pirates" touched upon earlier have a close
relation.

[text under first group of images]
If you talk to the one at the base in charge of the item world, you'll
be able to go to the item world. If you select an item you want to
strength from the items in your possession, a dungeon will be
randomly generated and you'll be able to dive into the world that
extends inside the item.

[text under second group of images]
Unlike the battles in the story, if you can manage to arrive at the
space-time gate for advancing to the next floor, the floor will be
cleared. Avoiding enemies is also a tactic. Additionally, a dungeon is
divided into intervals of 10 floors; each time you complete a floor
of a multiple of 10, you can choose to leave. If you feel the enemies
are strong, don't overdo it and turn back.

[text under third group of images]
At the same time you can leave the dungeon, you'll also move to a
rest map called the Innocent Town. In the Innocent Town, there are
facilities such as the hospital and shops, so after making
preparations here, advancing even further will also be possible.

Additionally, a Fork System that changes the route depending on
the space-time gate you go through has been implemented. The
player will be able to choose, to some extent, the contents of the
random dungeon, such as a route with many treasures or a course
specialized at strengthening the item.

[fourth group of images]
A treasure box appeared due to the route bonus!

An innocent appeared due to the route bonus!

A level sphere appeared due to the route bonus!

[text under fourth group of images]
If you confirm the route map, events that occur will be notified
with icons.

Innocents
There aren't only enemies who block your path in the item world;
there is also a third force called "Innocents" that bestows benefits
to items. Innocents have titles such as HP-ician [dietician] and ATK-
ician [gladiator] and increase the ability corresponding to their title.
If you find an innocent, we recommend to defeat it with the highest
priority. Furthermore, it has also become possible to choose a route
where it becomes easier to meet innocents due to the above-
mentioned Fork System.

[text under first group of images]
If you defeat and subdue an innocent, their stat-increasing effect
will double.

[text under second group of images]
Additionally, subdued innocents can also be moved to other items. It
looks like an opportunity to dive into items worlds for the purpose
of innocents even in items you don't plan on using has shown up.

[text under third group of images]
Innocents can also be combined with other innocents of the same
attribute. Since the number of innocents that can reside in each
item is limited, if you have several innocents that have the
attribute you want to strengthen, combine and organize them.

Mysterious Small Rooms
While searching the item world, gates that lead to locations called
mysterious small rooms sometimes appear. What awaits inside the
mysterious small room is unknown until you go through the gate,
but there are many benefits to stopping by. These gates are also
confirmable from the route map.

Crossing the network sea, visits by "pirates" that
invade the item world!
If you dive into the item world, you will sometimes be under attack
by groups called "pirates". They suddenly appear on the floor riding
a pirate ship, but they will depart when a number of turns passes.

[text under first group of images]
Pirates band together under the commands of their leader and run
about violently on the floor they have intruded on. The notification
of their raid is also displayed on the route map, so pay attention.

[text under second group of images]
Pirate ships sometimes bring along innocents or are filled with
treasure. During the stay turns of the pirates, defeat them or
toss them onto the floor.

One more left for now.

**Tobi** · 2010-11-17 18:52

Pirate Editor
If they connect to the network, a player can also form an original
pirate crew and raid the world of other players. Incidentally, a limit
can be imposed on the levels of the player pirates that come to
one's own world. It's also possible to turn the pirate invasion option
OFF and only enjoy the other network elements.

[text under images]
After placing the characters you trained yourself on the pirate
ship you made yourself, go to other worlds! A pirate ranking
function is also included.

Building a Pirate Ship
First, use the pirate ship editor. A pirate ship is divided into parts
such as body, rear, and head, and every part can be obtained by
using the likes of Educational Guidance.

[text under images]
An abundant variety of parts is available. There are also ability
effects such as "number of turns you can stay on the floor",
"number of people who can be on board", "addition of special effects
to the members of the pirate crew" in all parts, so the collection of
parts is quite important.

Concept and Crew
After you have built a pirate ship, you can decide your pirate ship
will act as the enemy of other players or act as allies. After that,
decide on the characters to place on the pirate ship, write a
comment on the profile of the characters, enter a message to the
other player, and send your pirate ship out on the network sea.

[text under first group of images]
Whether it'll be a threat or a savior will depend on the player. Both
have player benefits.

[text under second group of images]
Since the pirate ship is only uploaded on the network, the
characters that were placed on the ship can still be used normally in
your game.

Bounty Rankings
User pirate crews uploaded to the network will be inserted on the
Bounty Rankings depending on their strength and activity.
Furthermore, there's also a system for aiming for a high position in
the rankings with your own hands!?

[text under images]
Measures to gain glory by force to aim for higher positions in a
Netherworld where the strong eats the weak are available. Details
will be presented later.

Other Network Elements
Besides the pirate ship, there are various network elements
available, such as a "defense minister" who can become another
player's helper on normal battle maps and "Everyone's Records"
that has assembled the records of everyone who connects to the
Network.

[text under first group of images]
If you use an "emergency transmission", a defense minister
registered on the network will come as a helper. It's not only the
defense minister; it seems that network elements are available to
all ministers on whom is attached a NET icon.

[text under second group of images]
Player records are viewable from the one in charge of records at
the base. Furthermore, if you look at "Everyone's Records", you
can check aggregated data such as "the generic class users use the
most is?", "the number of times everyone has jumped at the base
is?", and "the total playtime and total levels of everyone is?" When
you play this work, connect to the network and try participating in
these records.

And that's all that has been translated

**Tobi** · 2010-12-02 11:05

I know they said they were gonna release it summer 2011 in NA, but I hope it's early summer and not late summer. I think last one released around end of aug, while JP version released around end Jan. Hopefully they won't have that long timeframe with this one.
