New Dungeon : Academy World

Dengeki Online features a new article today. Disgaea 3's introduction to the Academy World and screenshot explanations.

Much like the Item World, Academy World allows you to improve the abilities of your characters. Whether it's speed, attack, throw, critical rate... there's quite a list of things you can improve for a character. Each ability is a ten-floor dungeon you must go down. (Unlike the Item World, you can not leave in the middle of this dungeon.)

You must speak to the Afro!Prinny to ender the Academy World.
(...Jesus Christ, from the screenshot it shows Mao has 130% in both ATK and INT. As well as 120% in SP. )

Huh. Mystery Gates are apparently now MYSTERY ~*~*~CLASSROOMS~*~*~ that you do... mysterious things in. Hmn.

Ah, it seems to also show that Male Archers have a much better ATK modifier than Female Archers. Their dex still is pretty darn hefty, though.

Another portion of the update discusses character make (which is pretty much the same from the previous two games. The only update is the classroom setting, the new classes, and the desks you get from their level of ability. Uh. Oh, and they talk now! Go Generics!)

Depending on how often you use a skill, it will get stronger but also cost more SP. This is the same as in the previous games. It seems you can purchase MAbilities in order to help your skills improve.

The final portion of the article talks about the benefits of Geoblock chaining.
