I know that they're going to localize the Last Rebellion (Hitmaker) and Atelier Rorona (Gust) in 2010 and later (hopefully) localize Trinity Universe (Nippon/Gust/Idea Factory) and Ar Tonelico III (Gust). Since none of the four titles I've mentioned are SRPGs, it looks like it will be a long wait to get my SRPG fix from Nippon Ichi again. I started purchasing Nippon Ichi's titles for the SRPG component back in 2003 and I would like to continue purchasing good SRPGs from Nippon Ichi (in HD) in the future.

As much as I love Disgaea, I was completely disappointed when Disgaea came out with PS2 graphics for the PS3, That was a waste of a Blu-Ray disk IMO. Simply put, if they want more sales they need to step it up with graphics and keep gameplay fresh in order to make their games sell better in the future. Lets face it, as good as this game may be, it looks so much like Disgaea, that if it was just a screenshot of it and It was said that it's disgaea then we all would believe it!

Really good platformer indeed. If they can make a great platformer, who is to say they cannot make the jump to other genres. Prinny was a great step away from their SRPG games.

It's good that they want to expand the number of flagship series. Maybe they could try out other genres too on the safe side, Prinny was a rather fun (but really hard) platformer and I wouldn't mind more of that in the future. I'd buy Zettai Hero.
