Kinos Journey Artist Made A New Downloadable Job For Disgaea 4Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten has more downloadable content coming, but instead of guest characters Nippon Ichi hired guest artists to create new classes for the PlayStation 3 game.

 

Kouhaku Kuroboshi known for his work on Kino’s Journey and Summon Night created the necromancer class. Noizi Ito, the illustrator on Burning-Eyed Shana, made the orderly class for the PlayStation 3 game. Both new jobs will be sold for 300 yen on Japan’s PlayStation Store.

 

Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten comes out tomorrow in North America. Well, unless you ordered it from RosenQueen and received your copy early. (Then you’re probably playing it and not reading this anyway!) Read our playtest here.

    Ooooh interesting! I love Kouhaku Kuroboushi’s art very much :) I can’t wait to see his design!

    Can the US version use those jobs too?

      They ought to give us a DLC schedule.

    This is pretty cool to hear. Classes designed by someone who was involved with Summon Night? If he made the Necromancer class there, I half-imagine that one of the two classes will be like that.

    For the record, I completely envy every person who ordered from Rosenqueen.

    X_x awesome! 

    Glad to see some love for generic classes too. i hope more are added down the line too.

    • Locklear93

      I’m a huge fan of the generics.  I actually played through Disgaea 3 with generics as my muscle.  The power I ran with in the post-game were a lady samurai, an archer, and a nekomata.  Story characters, pfft.

      (Edit: that said, in 4, Valvatorez is stomping everything else I have for sheer power, with Fuka right behind…)

      • Draparde

        Lol i’m pretty much the same way. my post game power hitters in D3 where mainly generics, though i used a few of the unlockable post game characters and DLC. 
        currently in 4 i use the main characters…but who knows what will happen once i get to the post game lol.

    speaking of gun-toting females; I miss the female Gunner class o n o

  • mikanko

    Always a fan of the character art from Kuroboshi in Kino no Tabi and Summon Night 3&4.  Definitely interested in seeing what the necro class will look like.

  • KyoyaHibari

    Sweet, I gotta finish watching Kino soon, i just have to find the right moment XD

  • KyoyaHibari

    Kino herself would be an interesting character to add as DLC, she came across the Netherworld in her travels, and once the party beats her, she decides to give up the principle of only staying for 3 days and helps the D4 party meet it’s goal lol.

      But it makes Kino less Kino
      D:

      • KyoyaHibari

        SPOILER READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION* That’s similar to how the Kino anime ends though lol, she finds a town that is suitable for her and falls in love with that town and stays there (so I’ve read, gotta finish watching lol).

  • KotaroInugami

    Oh my, Suzumiya Haruhi’s artist made a character? How awesome. :D

  • Thomas Maloney

    Oh Flight Plan, how I miss you =(

  • leadintea

    Cool! I don’t particularly care for this class, but we might see some really amazing classes from this. Hopefully these guys have played the series and can actually create classes that work for the game.

    • Locklear93

      That’s the great thing about Disgaea.  Game mechanics aside, basically ANYTHING can work for the game; they just need to fit it in properly.  I mean, it’s a universe with demons and angels, humans, magic and swords and androids and spaceships…  Pick anything an artist might put in the game (assuming they’re picking, and not being invited to make something specific), and NIS can probably fit it into the universe somehow without making a mess.

    OMG I LOVE SUMMO NIGHT’S ARTIST, cant wait to buy disgaea 4

  • IceRomancer

    I love guest characters, but the the idea of guest artists doing new classes is awesome! Can’t wait for this!!

    Oh and I’m officially only ordering from RosenQueen from now on :3

    • Locklear93

      Should order from them anyway, for shiny tiny figures. <_<  And artbooks, and other nice things.

  • Locklear93

    Now they just need to start shuffling some of this DLC on over here.  I’m nearly finished with the core game.  I want my Prier character, and Fuka and Desco chapters. :P

    Oh hell yeah, I haven`t got my EU copy yet cause that comes in October…but I can`t contain my excitement!

    Playing It and reading this makes me happy…er.  Where’s mah sardines!?

  • burnfist23

    I like the idea of new classes, but I really want to see Marona and Ash since eight of the top 10 for the DLC polls have made it in (Rozalin, Pram, Adell, Gig, Mao, Pleinair, Prier, and Tyrant Valvatorez).
