The only thing is, it just doesn't feel like Disgaea. Maybe that'll change later, but right now, it just seems like a NIS game with the Disgaea name tacked onto it.

Seconded. I've only played around 10 minutes (walking around town, didn't even start a battle yet), but this feels more like a sidestory like Makai Kingdom. I've said it before, and I re-enforce it now; Mr Bowtie is a pathetic replacement for Laharl. If he was in another game, he would've been passable, but all of his honor and morals make me beg that Laharl will knock his ass out of the main character spotlight. Which would be nice, but I doubt it.
It was especially lame when he claimed that he "didn't like girls" (and even lamer that no one made a joke about that). What is he, 18? He's way past cooties, here.
The references so far are amusing though, especially the Bridget one. And the anime intro and anime trailer were a real treat though (even if they both suffered from video compression).
The anime trailer in particular was fantastic, just as I always envisioned Disgaea to be as a series. So I can't help but wonder why the actual TV series is a massive failure (haven't seen it, but I haven't heard a single good thing about it). I'm also deeply disappointed that Etna is no longer voiced by Amanda Winn, but instead played by Sakura from Naruto. It's not like she's bad, but it's retarded to replace an excellent voice with a lesser one. I really don't know why companies don't want to keep their actors consistent. At least Laharl's never had a VA change. Mid-Boss didn't sound like he was played by the same guy either.
How ya doing, buddy?
