Once upon a time ago, Nippon Ichi Software announced Makai Wars on PSP in 2004, which was then moved to PS3 in 2005, and now it lives on as a new smartphone company that just got announced. Ever since Makai Wars was announced as a new PS3 title in 2005, not much was revealed for the game other than a trademark registration back in November 2010, a teaser that looked like a game starring Asagi in April 2013, and word from president Sohei Niikawa in October 2015. The title has been in Famitsu’s upcoming releases list’s TBA section for as far back as we can remember, too. Fast-forward almost over 13 years since its first announcement on PSP, Nippon Ichi Software announced that Makai Wars is dead as a new smartphone strategy RPG, featuring Asagi as the main character.
So what happens if this is the most popular NIS game in years?
Austin Wilson
Asagi should just kill herself at this point.
Andrew Myers
That won't stop her.
Connor Myers
We'll likely just get remixes of Asagi Go Fight and Asagi Metamorphosis as main themes. If you count Prinny 1/2 Asagi did kill herself to become a playable character.
Benjamin White
I need a picture of every Disgaea character hugging her as she's in despair, because holy fuck this is a horrible fate.
>game is an overwhelming success and makes tons of cash >all future Asagi cameos are her being rich as shit in golden castles or whatever and being extravagant
Alexander Parker
The absolute STATE of Asagifags right now.
Lincoln Morales
She doesn't want them to find her.
Jacob Roberts
>Make a great character design >Give her a meta joke that adds a nice bit of humor without being overbearing ("I want my own game!") >Give her a spotlight as a secret enemy and playable character in a fun spinoff series >Give her a lot of recognition in a continued meta joke for a series anniversary >Give her an actual game, completely ruining her only gag >Make it mobile for added insult

Andrew Ross
>Disgaea 6 features her as DLC >Her entire shtick is making fun of NIS for charging fans even more money to bring her out of her lavish retirement for a new show >When she gets beat the fuck down they confirm that she won't be the hero of the next Makai Wars because of her avarice
I don't have a PS3 but I don't want to play D5 before D4 on my Switch
Carter Thompson
It feels like a huge punch in the gut. Who decides and approves this shit
Oliver Mitchell
>She appears in a later game, poor and ragged >She blew all of her money on stupid shit, got robbed, and all that >She's a character who is absolutely crappy, making Magikarp from Pokemon seem like a god-tier overpowered creature >Pity everywhere, even from Flonne
Austin Adams
They've had a disgaea mobile game for like 5 years already.
Ian Ortiz
While true, they're killing a character's purpose in the process. Imagine if Goku was killed off permanently in Dragon Ball, Ash wins a Pokemon League in Pokemon, or Carmen Sandiego is arrested and imprisoned for good. It just isn't right, even if it sounds good on paper.
Jose Reed
That does bring up another point actually, which is if you care about the story in Disgaea you are a humongous faggot.
Brayden King
Disgaea gacha game for mobile when Theres enough cute characters for it. Though I would play just to get Etna!
What else is there? The music in D5 is shit and if I have to play another slow-paced SRPG I'm going to scream.
>hurr durr this geo effect is...
I DON'T CAAAARE
Aiden Wright
If you listen to the music in Disgaea you are a humongous faggot.
Angel Johnson
>it's a mobile game so it HAS to be bad
Nathan Richardson
Good for you Asagi, good for you.
Landon Martinez
It's pretty much guaranteed to be bad even ignoring whatever micropayments it'll have.
Daniel Garcia
Does NIS even have the money for big budget games anymore? It seems like even NISA has to resort to localize other company games.
Asher Wood
>After 10 years, Asagi finally gets her game >Not on 3DS, not even on Vita >Mobile
Just
Brandon Taylor
NIS deserves to die a worse death than Canadian Bioware for this.
Christopher Davis
I would've preferred if it came out on Ouya. Fucking Ouya.
Michael Williams
Why? Fucking why?
Joshua Thomas
youre right, maybe itll be the one nip mobile game that isnt gacha gambling garbage masquerading as an actual game
Matthew Martinez
and here you have people praying the switch fails cause its Nintendo instead of actually showing support for portable gaming consoles.
I say this as an idort btw, just throwing my 2 cents out there cause of the hard on Sup Forums has for the switch to fail, I would have much prefered this game be on 3ds/vita or switch than on mobile
Daniel Bailey
So if everyone hates mobile games wouldn't this character who always wanted a game getting a shitty mobile game add to the gay little joke you're all obsessed with?
Christian Diaz
>Have to go through the Dark Assembly for everything >If the bill doesn't pass you lose whatever action points you put in, they regenerate at a very low rate over time or you can fill them up instantly with cold, hard, cash >Using real money to bribe the senate is the only way to get better success rates >To get new characters you have to first pass a Let Me Roll The Gacha Bill, and only if it goes through you can spend some of your scarce free currency to get random accessories and most definitely not the Mahou Shoujo Magical Flonne-chan you wanted
Josiah Taylor
No, dude, people actually like Asagi and were epecting a full fledged game with her as the lead, not a mobage where Asagi is probably just gonna be the starting unit and then you need to pay money to get actual good units. No one is happy here.
Joshua Rivera
They'd have to meta it to the point where they admit their own mobile game was shit (not going to happen obv), or pretend it doesn't exist. No matter the outcome this is a stupid move, might make a buck but they had to realize it would rile fans.
Carter Evans
>autistic grinding simulator goes on the device most suitable for games like it I see nothing wrong here.
Matthew Cook
You have HL as free money and Mana as paid. Use Mana at the Netherworld portal to summon powerful demons to fight with you.
Owen Cox
What a sorrow
Jose Russell
Then NIS dies
Wyatt Scott
Why even have music in a mobile game when everyone will have to play it on mute anyway to not disturb the other people on the tlain?
