7 was better than 6 and I thought it was pretty good overall. I want more loli generics obviously, specifically some humanoids. Engineer from PB2 is a must for 8, just reuse the model directly. I also want most skills to happen on the field again in 8. Give me a loli MC as well and give her a cute loli GF. I'd prefer they go back to 2D but that's probably not happening. I'm getting used to the 3D though, it still has some charm. Get Sato back on music, I don't know why he wasn't there for 7. Start giving more information on what all the weapon skills and evilites are. Like just be able to view them all and at what level/mastery or whatever you get them at. Also, don't have mechanics that are unique to named units like hell mode. Make sure new mechanics work for all units including generics.

>Harada on art as usual
>Sato on music since he strangely was absent from 7
>More new flat loli generics, we could use more humanoids
>Engineer from PB2 absolutely needs to be in D8, this is mandatory
>Possibly Angler as well but she may need to change into something that's more combat themed
>have the majority of attacks happen on the field again with only certain ones cutting to a separate arena
>Don't have new mechanics that are exclusive to named unique NPCs (like hell mode), instead make any new mechanic like this available to all units including generics (free update for 7 apparently made hell mode possible for generics)
>give me a cute loli MC and giver her a loli gf
>Don't have so much dimension hopping where you randomly go to flavor-of-the-week Netherworlds
>Don't actually have as large of a main NPC cast, avoid doing that predictable structure of "okay, now it's your turn to join, now it's your turn to have your development, and so on" (like what PB2 did)
>Bring back sub-weapons from 5
>Give information on what skills and evilties a class has from the start, same with weapons
>possibly could be setup like a skill tree
>Add challenge versions of all story stages in the post game that have different enemy layouts and such
>probably just remove the item world at this point and completely change how item customization is done
>instead add a new randomized infinite dungeon that doesn't correspond to specific items

>I'm sorry for ranting but it really feels like they are on the verge of bankruptcy
This is NIS's natural state. They have learned to become one with bankruptcy. They're most likely working on Disgaea 8 or going bankrupt for real this time, only time will tell. I was pretty disappointed with the new Phantom Brave but it should be expected that modern NIS can't recapture the soul of their PS2 days. I would love to see the engineer and angler loli come back as Disgaea units however. I still like Disgaea, even in it's new 3D form.
