I better update my game now so I can actually play the Raspberyl chapters with my old saves. I've been keeping an out-of-date version of the game because a certain update nerfed a rather minor levelling exploit that was only in one of the North American patches. As such, some of my DLC characters and most of the Raspberyl story data doesn't exist in my game, even though the key to unlock them have been installed.

DISGAEA 3 TROPHY UPDATE PATCH SCHEDULED FOR RELEASE!

Santa Ana, CA (Jul 6, 2009) –NIS America announced today that a trophy update patch for Disgaea®3: Absence of Justice will become available on 7/16/2009, 1:00am PST. The patch will add the trophy function to Disgaea 3 and allow players to gain Trophy points by accomplishing the various requirements.

CAUTION: Trophy Patch Update will make old save data unusable.
The Trophy Update Patch will update the Disgaea 3’s system file, called an SDK, which will make your OLD SAVE DATA UNUSABLE. Therefore, if you wish to keep your old save data, please do not download and install the Trophy update patch. However, the update will provide over 50 trophy objectives to receive various Trophy rewards. Some Trophies are extremely challenging to acquire and will test the player’s skills to the

Unless there was some sort of misunderstanding when you read the description, I don't see this patch being any different than the Japanese one (that is, unless I'm remembering that thread from that forum wrong).

Besides, from what I remember about Disgaea 3 trophies, they're very “do X achievement” sort of goals, and something that you'd have to work pretty hard to earn by yourself anyway. They have nothing that's completely missable by not restarting from scratch.

Unless that trick GF mentions works… but like I said to me it's not worth the risk.

People above are discussing a trick, but it's not worth the risk to me.

I could see an old save file not being able to get trophies but to whipe it T_T!!?

Seems odd they haven't ported it across since its been out since feb and the US has had all of the DLC for a little while now. Guess it will be another bionic commando trophy patch situation where it took months to arrive.The US hasn't had their DLC for that long (well, long enough; but not the usual ages it usually takes for us to get it)

I really want some of those extra characters

Some people might be okay with that (and ultimately we wouldn't have known any difference), and those are the kinds of people who can choose not to pay for DLC and be happy with what the game provides on its own.

But others might be willing to shell out a couple of bucks for characters that they like or might want to use to help out in the game. And so, we have that choice.

I honestly don't think NIS's plan was to include all these characters for free in the beginning, but then decided to charge for them. They're clearly extras, something that goes above and beyond what the game normally offers. So I can't really see where any complaints are coming from when it comes to Disgaea 3's DLC itself.

I know your beef is probably with the DLC phenomenon as a whole, which I agree is worrying, but in terms of what Disgaea 3 offers I think it's fine.

That's my main problem.
