I first bought and played this game after enjoying the demo of the 5th game of the franchise on the vita. - The anime comedy - gold - Pixel art/animation - Gold - Gameplay - Tactical RPG classic/Gold It's definitely one of the more unique entries in the series, but is still loved and aged well by those who enjoyed it. The fact this game is not on PC like it's sibling titles is outrageous.

I've been a fan of this series since the PS2 era... oddly enough this one has eluded me by a long time. Would be great it it were available again outside the PS3/Vita.

Disgaea 3 while not my 1st disgaea game is THE 1st disgaea game I have completed! I enjoy the cast of characters, the music is very unique to the game itself, and the amount of postlude, and dlc characters makes this game massive and super lovable. This is a game I’ve been waiting for to have a complete re-release but it has yet to happen! So please if there’s any real way to bring this version of the game back please make it happen I truly love this game and it made me a bigger fan of the series as I have been since 2012.

Cool game and the only mainline DIsgaea that isn't on PC so they should fix that but the purple Prism Ranger says the T-slur so they should probably not put this on my PC actually

This was my first game in english it helped me a lot to learn the language, me and my brother played it a lot we still have our two copies of the ps vita version. I'd give anything to being able to experience this game again on a better hardware, especially since almost every other disgaea is playable except this one :c
Its only on ps vita and ps3 and that's simply inappropriate at this point. Its only on ps vita and ps3 and that's simply inappropriate at this point. Its only on ps vita and ps3 and that's simply inappropriate at this point.

This is one of my favorite stories in all of the disgaea series. It had a great mixture of humor and I even had a moment of shock about what happened in a certain chapter. I miss this game so much. I still hold out hope that one day I'll have it on PC with the rest of my collections. So I can marathon the series.

They receive orders from the Church of Karma to head for Nirvana, and they are accompanied by the dark-haired girl. "They who reach Nirvana first shall be recognized as the champions of Junkyard." The struggle intensifies, and they discover that the girl holds a key to the mystery. But, true fear still awaits Serf's party. Including Embryon, the tribe that the main character leads, several groups are at war with each other in order to survive.

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years
Final Fantasy IV: The After YearsFINAL FANTASY IV: THE AFTER YEARS is a direct sequel to FINAL FANTASY IV. It is a Japanese-style role-playing game released in episodic format. The game uses mechanics, assets and graphics from various releases of FINAL FANTASY IV. The characters travel across the world map (although the whole map only becomes accessible in the final Tale The Crystals) fighting random enemies, enter towns to rest, buy equipment and talk to other characters, go to various dungeons for items and boss fights. The battles use the same Active Time Battle (ATB) system from FINAL FANTASY IV, but it is improved in several ways. The class system from FINAL FANTASY IV largely remains the same but it has been tweaked and many new abilities have been added to the characters. The WiiWare port of the game features several graphical enhancements over the mobile version, including larger screen resolution, clearer menu screens and fonts, and improved character portraits. The English localization follows the precedents set by the DS remake of Final Fantasy IV, featuring similar writing and making use of the same translations of names and terminology. A few edits have been made to the English version, including the modification of Ceodore's official character artwork to Westernize his face, as well as alterations to several female characters in order to make their clothing less revealing.

Parasite Eve II
Parasite Eve IIParasite Eve II is an action role-playing survival horror video game released exclusively for the PlayStation. The game was developed by Square and published in Japan in 1999 and in both North America and, unlike the previous game, in PAL regions in 2000. It is the sequel to Parasite Eve and the second game in the series of the same name. Parasite Eve II is set several years after the events in the original game. The protagonist from the first game, Aya Brea, also features in this game as the playable character. She becomes involved with another outbreak of Mitochondrial creatures. Gameplay diverges from the previous game: battles take place in real time and the area of action is less restrictive. The approach is more typical of traditional survival horror games, although some role-playing elements are retained.
