Adell's Downloadable Cameo | Interview with Souhei Niikawa

Adell's cameo in Disgaea 3. You have to download it (after purchasing it) from the Japanese or Asian Playstation Store if you have the Japanese/Asian versions of Disgaea 3.

I'm sure these downloads will be available in English. Ooh! Adell. I figured it wouldn't be voiced, but man... playing the game without any voice acting feels really.. really weird. I love the voicework in these games, it is absolutely spectacular. Oh Adell, you'll learn that when Mao starts drooling and Almaz flinches that's never a good thing for you.

Also, an English interview with Souhei Niikawa was posted recently. He talks about his aspirations and thoughts for Disgaea 3 and it's American release. I met with Mr. Niikawa a few weeks back, he's an absolutely incredible person. I wish him luck in the future. :)

Please enjoy the interview.

Asagi Cameo

I keep getting asked to translate this, it'll take some time before I do a proper one, since I have to go to work tonight and have a date at the planetarium. (How romantic! ♥)

Basically, in this cameo, Asagi asks 'What game is this?'
Almaz asks if something was stolen from her, from which she replies that yes, her game was stolen from her... (Mao at first thinks she's the culprit, the cameos in Disgaea 3 all have had something very important from them stolen. It's the doing of the Legendary Overlord -- which I'm assuming is Baal.)

Asagi, in an almost trance-like state, keeps repeating "My important game... I'm the main character of my game..."

Then, she attacks Mao - "My spot as the main character of the game game was stolen... BY YOU!?!??!"

[BATTLE]

After the battle, she begins crying. "I-I lost..." She wants everything to stop, she just wanted to be the main character. That's all she ever wants, why is this so hard?! (Ahh, Asagi. I'm so sorry, I feel so bad... please stop crying!!) Almaz says Mao made a young girl cry ... and then Mao and Asagi comment (I'll translate this once I get home) on each other... and Mao says that "Ah! That's it! This has to be the Legendary Overlord's doing! Yes, that's right! He stole your game!" and "Un! There is no doubt about it!"

Mao : "You'll come along, right?"

Asagi : "Really? Truly? Yes! I'll come along!"

Mao then comments on if Asagi being the main character of a game is even plausible... to which Almaz comments "Saah..." (Who knows).

With that, Asagi joins.

Sorry it's such a rough translation, I have to go to work now! I actually kind of like Asagi now, but ooh~ Mao is so nice at the end of the game. ♥ He really wants to help people out. What a good 魔王～ ♥ ♥

Marona [Cameo]

I don't understand this scene at all.

Though I'm glad the focus is on Almaz, (mostly because his resemblance to Ash is extremly uncanny) I'm not sure what to think of Marona now! W-Where did she learn words like that?! I- ... I don't really... I can't really imagine Marona ever saying things like that, even as a trick. Marona is a terrible liar! うそだ！！！

She sounds like herself at the end, but that still was something I wasn't expecting...

Aha~ Sapphire taunting Almaz was pretty fabulous though. He even had to reassure her that she was the only one for him. Oh Almaz, stop talking in hearts. ♥ (Though, in all honesty. You really should stop calling her Hime-sama for a very good reason, Almaz... ) I'll be happy to get Marona on my team still, but I'm not really sure what to think about all of this. Until I get a better grasp of the situation and actually see the scene myself, this might change my view of Maronakins. Uwah... what an unexpected developement.

Here's the scene :




---


Blade Zero : There is a Cave of Trials, I need to unlock it. It's a whopping 7000 mana for it, ouch!

EDITED UPDATE : Information on the Scene makes it easier to understand, Marona's innocent heart was stolen by a legendary Overlord. Apparently that's why she's acting that way. That makes a bit more sense, to say the least... I believe the legendary overlord is Baal and if so I'm going to seriously need to kick his butt for this. M-Marona is so cute as a sweet innocent girl, not as a punk! Grr!

Edit the Second : Wonderfish @ Livejournal.com was kind enough to provide a rough translation of Marona's scene. Be aware it does feature a bit of swearing.

Marona: Ah, what a pain.
Delicious Almaz: Hm? A girl alone in a place like this?
Excuse me, you there. You're a human girl, aren't you? Isn't it dangerous for you to be somewhere like this? I mean, it is the Makai.
Marona: Who ... are you?
Almaz: I'm Almaz. And you?
Marona: I don't have to answer to scum like you. (Rough, I can't figure out what one of the words is. >.>)
(AWKWARD SILENCE)
Almaz: Haha. You're way more of a rebel than you look, aren't you? (Literally more like "runaway" but with overtones of being a rough character.)
Marona: Lay off. Whine to the guy who stole my pure heart.
Mao: The Legendary Maoh's handiwork again?
Raspberyl: Stealing the heart of an innocent girl ... That's unforgivable!
Princess: But what's his goal? What could it all mean?
Marona: Are you guys here to steal something from me too? Then you'd better come at me with all your strength!

* A BIG FIGHT HAPPENS *

Marona: Bah. I got my ass kicked.
... Well, nothing I can do. Go ahead and boil me or grill me or wrap me in seaweed. See if I care.
Mao: (... Okay, I can't make heads or tails of what he says without being able to see the writing better. S-sorry... I think he's saying basically "okay, let's eat the idiot, then!" tho'.)
Almaz: W-wait, Mao! She seems like a victim of the legendary Maoh! Let's take her with us!
Sapphire: What is this, Almaz? You sure seem to be taking her side. Do you have a thing for that kind of girl?
Almaz: N-no! I am steadfastly for my Princess!
Sapphire: Then have you forgotten that we're newlyweds? Do you want a divorce already?
Almaz: W-what? Forgotten that we're newlyweds?
Sapphire: I was joking. A hero cannot overlook someone in peril, that's all. I was just teasing you.
Almaz: Oh, Princess! You surprise me.
Sapphire: Oh, you're so funny. I never get tired of watching you.
Marona: You bastards are so fuckin' annoying.
Mao: Umu. Well, you're bound to be more useful than the newlyweds. (That's the jist anyway. Blurry kaaanji.)
Okay. I'll make you my vassal.
Marona: (These guys will be so useful. They said they'd get me back my pure heart! But even so ... Bah.

Cameo Characters [Spoilers]

Spoilers - Getting used to those long white rows of no text, aren't you?

Asagi - Lvl. 500

Marona - Lvl. 800 <-- W-W-W-W-WHAT?!?!

Akutare - Lvl. 1200

Laharl - Lvl. 1500
Flonne - Lvl. 1500
Etna - Lvl. 1500

...I'm not even sure what to say.
I do have a small complaint about the game though.
It's... only eight chapters long? How can this be? That can't be right, you - you can't give us only eight chapters. That's not enough room for character development, is it?! Why did Disgaea 2, which had a less than stellar story, get at least 13?! These better be really long and epic chapters! I- ... I shouldn't be worried, but I am! Both Disgaea games had 13 chapters, this isn't fair!

I'm just worried they have to cut things short or...
I'm just worried. Give me my game, damn it USPS man!
