What did /v/ think of Phantom Brave 2?

Does it prove that NIS has still got it? Can 3D Graphics work after all?

If you like Disgaea series, this is a nice option to play, it has the same spirit but with a refreshing gameplay.

>>717042879 (OP)
It's their magnum opus.
Phantom Brave was already a better game than Disgaea. And this is an extremely cool sequel.

>>717044030
Their magnum opus is Rhapsody 2.

>Can 3D Graphics work after all?
Wasn't a fan of it with Disgaea 6. Especially not with the pocket dimension attacks and everything.
Disgaea 7 is an improvement but not enough to make me a fan.
But the new Phantom Brave is a huge improvement as far as the 3D is concerned. I actually quite like it.

>>717042879 (OP)
Are they still using their old sprite team for modeling and 3D animating?

>>717042879 (OP)
I thought it should have been Prinny 3

>>717045157
Why?

how do these nipponichi games compare to larian games like divinity original sin and baldurs gate 3?

>>717044030
phantom brave 2 isn't even better than their actual magnum opus, makai kingdom

>phantom brave got a sequel
Now we just need a new Skies of Arcadia game.

>>717045203
Nothing against it. I just want Prinny 3. I'm sure I will play this game one day.

>>717042879 (OP)
All the talk of major bugs put me off from buying it for now.

>>717045979
Most of them have been fixed.

Does Phantom Brave have a Wind Waker-like setting?

>>717042879 (OP)

>>717045278
Explain yourself.

>>717047803
That's super hot, but where are her nipples?

>>717049356
here

>>717049310
makai kingdom is literally phantom brave 1 and 2 but better

>>717049383
Much better

>>717049421
Still awaiting an explanation.

Go back to sprites. Not buying 3D.

>>717050278
give it a fucking chance

>>717049383
why is mage doing that to archer?

>>717050364
I did for 7. Felt like shit and not falling for that again.

>>717050580
Nah 7 was a great game.

>>717051408
7 is only decent, it's still not as good as 2 4 or 5

>>717047803
>>717049383
The ai spamming retard has arrived.

>>717049383
>>717047803
Why do so many people like archer when she's so flat?

>>717042879 (OP)
I plan on playing it eventually because I liked Phantom Brave, and Marona is cute

>>717046967
Anyone?

Every time I see a thread about this game, 90% of posts are talking about other games nonstop. Leading me to believe that nobody played PB2 and seeing in mentioned just reminds them to talk about something else.

>>717042879 (OP)
I was excited when I saw Phantom Brave got a sequel
I was even more excited when I saw it had DLC for their more obscure series like Mad Rat Dead
then I saw the price tag, 3D chibi models, and reviews complaining about softlocks, performance issues, and advising people to just play the first game

I'll still probably get around to it one day and I hope it's at least close to as good as the first one, but I would've preferred 2D.

>>717052537
Yeah

>>717047803
>>717049383

>>717052537
Obviously
I was kind of shocked looking at the steam page not long ago

>>717042879 (OP)
Didn't play, both Witch and the Hundred Knight games were shit so I don't have high hopes for anything they make that isn't Disgaea

>>717052256
Why is she so flat?

>>717042879 (OP)
I thought it was pretty good, bugs aside. Never finished the postgame but got pretty damn far into it. I might still prefer D7 because of its humor and the fact it's Disgaea but I think the number of generics is great, the postgame picks are pretty good with characters like Priere returning, and Mad Rat is there as DLC. If Disgaea 8 follows the trend of increasing the generic count and returning cameos, it could be real nice. As far as the 3D goes, it works fine this time, although I do miss the expressive sprites of the original. Admittedly, most scenes being VN type stuff is kind of disappointing, but it's been that way for some time. At least there are some on-map cutscenes.
I still think Disgaea plays better, but that's not really the fault of PB2 as it takes from PB1. I've seen complaints about how you can't break the game as much anymore but for what it's worth I found the campaign very enjoyable, dragged on a bit though. Weapon fusion does seem pretty fucking useless since you can just steal, sell and then buy better stuff or however it works.

Now we just need a new La Pucelle

>>717045249
They don't really. The two are very different.

>>717055336
That and Makai Kingdom 2 (featuring Asagi)

>>717055483
Can you explain how?
