If you're a long-time strategy/RPG fan, there's little chance you missed Disgaea: Hour of Darkness when it debuted ten years ago.
But if you did, or you always wanted to see a "spiritual successor" to that title, then Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness is for you. It will release in North America on October 8, and a little earlier (September 27) in Europe.
Developer Nippon Ichi has also given us the second official trailer for the game. It features gameplay footage from the Japanese version of the game, and reminds us that the franchise is celebrating its 10th anniversary. All of your favorite characters will be making their triumphant returns, and that patented off-the-wall humor will be quite evident. Disgaea has always been amusing, but it has also boasted insanely deep and time-consuming gameplay.
Hope you've got some time for it.

Ugh… I am such an NIS fanboy… Needless to say, I am anxiously awaiting this one; particularly due to Laharl returning as the main protagonist (though being able to have Adell would be flippin' amazing!). Well… I suppose it is now crunch time to finish (the stories of) 3 and 4.
I agree with you on Laharl. My favorite out of this series.
Want this so badly. But I cannot get it for PS3. I will not play it, just like I didn't play Disgaea 4 for more than 90 minutes. I just don't have time for those type of timesink games on consoles any more. I actually regret buying it. 🙁
At this point, I'm crossing my fingers for a Vita port. It'll probably be the only way for me to play it. Disgaea 4 is coming to Vita, and I'm definitely picking that up at some point.
There's goes even more money. I guess I'll be squeezing this in before PS4 hits. I hope there will be a limited edition of this.
I don't think they will have this, but it would be cool to able to transfer characters you made from Hour of Darkness into this.
