La Pucelle Rated, Disgaea Guided, Phantom Brave Announced

Posted by simoniker on Saturday May 8, 2004 @03:02PM from the much-strategic-goodness dept.

Thanks to IGN PS2 for its review of PlayStation 2 SRPG La Pucelle Tactics, commenting on the "spiritual prequel to Disgaea", as they suggest the Mastiff-published title, previously mentioned for censorship issues, is "very much a powerful gaming experience and serves as a terrific companion piece to Hour of Darkness." Elsewhere, Double Jump Books has released a PDF version of their official Disgaea strategy guide for free (registration/checkout required), and GamerFeed discusses the announcement of Phantom Brave from Disgaea/La Pucelle developer Nippon Ichi and publisher Atlus, which "continues the intriguing game play of Disgaea while adding an immense number of new graphical and game play features."

You know as far as North American RPG sales go, FFTA outsold Golden Sun: The Lost Age (bestselling traditional GBA RPG of the same year) 478,137 to 374,791. Fire Emblem outsold .Hack 231,726 to 205,175. FFT outsold Caslevania SotN. It also outsold Parasite Eve. It also outsold Chrono Cross.
So what if no SRPG has been a million seller in North America as of yet? The only console RPGs that have been are Final Fantasy *insert number*, Pokemon *insert colour* and Kingdom Hearts.
