It's Nippon(Japan) Ichi(one) =P.

I have been looking forward to Makai Kingdom for a a few months, now (Hence the sig =P)! The gameplay looks simply amazing, just like how fun Phantom Brave and Disgaea are ^^. I love how they're taking the comedy of Disgaea and putting it with the outstanding battle system from Phantom Brave. This is definitely going to be my favorite game of the summer ^^.

There WAS a PK topic, but it's dead. :/

Anyway, Makai/Phantom Kingdom looks great. I like that they are using the PB movement. The buildings look interesting as well, and they took out PB's "Remove", yay! :D

Also, is it going to have the Japanese voice option again? I wonder how the dubbed voices will be like. :3

One thing, WHY was it called "Makai" Kingdom for the U.S. version? o_o

Yup, that's the reason that N1 said when they were asked...

Anyhow, I'm definately getting it. I've been going insane waiting for it for months already XD
As for the voices, they've been in every other game so far (even Atelier Iris, which they translated), so I doubt they'd skip it suddenly this time.

I wonder what it will be like to use.... [spoil:9455a11ebd]marona's friend (I can't think of her name >.<) sence she's in the game but as a hidden charter. I also wonder if they will have a little side story of how she's able to walk again and such[/spoil:9455a11ebd]

Also I found it interesting how you can battle the hero of the next Nippon Ichi game. Have they ever done that before in the other games???

Nope, this is the first time it's happened.

[spoil:d1b03c82e8]Far as I know, Bamboo Corps or whatever the medical guys in Phantom Brave were able to heal her legs and she started to train in combat so that she could look for Walnut[/spoil:d1b03c82e8]

[spoil:843acc1277]Yup.
I'm guessing that she's probably looking through the underworld to find him and bring him back to life or something.[/spoil:843acc1277]

Also, I hear that each map in MK is randomly generated, but with the same enemies each time. So that means the battlefield will be different each time you go to it? o_o

And, what are some of the new classes avalible? :O

Well I saw a review for the game on X-Play. I think they gave it a pretty good review myself. Anyhoo I just got the game and i've having some trouble on it. First off before I start a level I have to pick an overlord... why??? Do they do something??? Can you summon them for a battle???

Also when I make a wish with someone other than my main charter and then try to make a new building or whatever there called it says "can not build while charter is equiped" what's this even mean??? As you can see i'm very confused

The overlords affect what types of enemies you'll mostly like see in random maps, and I believe they may affect what types of random maps you'll see too.

For the equipment thing, unequip all of a character's items and remove them from any vehicles or facilities you have to sacrifice them for whatever purpose.

Ok thanks a lot for your help starman ^^ One other question. I saw them doing that building making thing in a demo. Is it 100% garenteed that they'll die after making the facilitie??? (Or the buildings if I got the name worng)

Master Swordsman Zero · Darkloid Joined: 16 Mar 2005 Posts: 542 Location: Pekopon

Yah, I believe it is. I haven't played far enough to know if they can ever withstand the damage or not. But it's fine because you can just reincarnate the character you sacrificed.

The game's awesome, by the way.

Yes, it IS awesome. :D

I wonder....who are the people who did the voices? The credits only show the Japanese seiyuus (Like in PB). ._. I'm guessing Crispin Freeman voiced Zetta.

I like Zetta's english voice. However I greatly dislike that one girls voice (the dim one with blue hair) she sounds to much like a guy.

Also do any overloards ever JOIN you in battle???

You can't until you've beaten the game.
Two of them are obtained through different endings and the rest can be done through wishing after certain points in a new game +
You can get everybody except for the blue haired girl IIRC.

But if you WANT to fight them, you need to level up, ALOT. Because the Overlords will be at Lv.1000-1500. Except for King Drake and Seedle. (Drake being at Lv.400 and Seedle at 800.)
