Well, I finally got around to doing it. I mentioned I wanted to briefly talk about something recently and here it is. A 30+ post thread of brain gooping, though much of it is just images and links. Not really in-depth at all.

Doubt anyone cares, much less likes the franchise, but I wanted to do it.

There's this particular franchise I'm very fascinated by. But despite how surprisingly massive it is, it's actually quite obscure. So much so that there's barely any coverage on it, this one blog being the only one I can even find about it.

Finally went through the "Disgaea RPG" app and gathered up whatever's missing on the wiki since that stopped updating.

Mostly just focused on extracting (aka PrtSc/Paste/Crop/Save) the cut-ins. It's not ideal since my mediocre skills aren't getting perfect alignment but it's the best I can manage.

Yeah, I agree, that's why I considered this to be a weird case.

Honestly, I'm just waiting to see what the gameplay is like first. Takaki seems to have no intention in the series returning to consoles so this could end up being just that. Would probably be more profitable this way too.

This is kind of a weird case cause, for all intents and purposes, the mobages basically have been the mainline games.

"New Link" directly continued the storyline left off from "EV" and concluded with Shin being defeated, the main antagonist of the series.

This new mobage is a 3-year latter sequel.

Maybe it's just me but when I saw N.B.'s design for "Kyouran Makaism", it immediately reminded me of Diez. They aren't the same of course but something about them are occupying a similar space in my head.

They feel almost gruffier and sharper compared to prior male Harada designs.

Well, if my account suddenly disappears...this will be why.

Out of everything in this thread, this is what gets auto-flagged as sexually suggestive. The power of feminine abs was too much.

I want to appeal this cause it's barely anything, especially compared to some of the other entries. But I don't know if I should be drawing attention of mods to this.
