Oh hello, Volcano. Nice view you're giving us.

[kuroshiro-neko.livejournal.com]

Ahahah, yes, she definitely doesn't look in the mood for a fight... erm ... is just me or is her hair carefully censoring her nipple xD ?

My favorite battle cut is Fuuka's, she is looking really cool!

[kamikaze-drake.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Fuuka's is great. Val reminds me of Lelouch in that pose, and I doubt that's a coincidence.

ALL HAIL VALOUCH!

As for Volcano, something OTHER than clevage caught my attention. Her expression looks pretty dead, but it kinda works if you consider past angels in the series. They tend to have flat, stern battle cuts too. I'm getting the same vibe off Vol.

[kuroshiro-neko.livejournal.com]

I can see the difference, the others are all like "Grr, let's fight!" while Volcano is "Oh, ok..." .
Like you said, her battle-cut is similar to the angel class battle-cut ( http://yfrog.com/nbclassup ). Albeit, in terms of personality Volcano looks different from the angel class, she seems more... cheerful and not "dead" or "empty" like the past angels.

[kamikaze-drake.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the angel battle-cut, I can see I was on the right track.

Volcano is certainly not empty (unless she's faking something, but I doubt it) but she can pull of that dead, heavenly wrath glare quite well. So the way I see it, she's cheery, but when it comes to fighting she's an angel through and through.

Hmm... something I just noticed, the red moon is in the background of the group shot.

[kuroshiro-neko.livejournal.com]

I noticed that too. The prinnies reincarnate every time the red moon appears.

By the way, if you look behind Emizel, you can see his father.

A new dengenki article with some images of the red battle android, fallen angel flonne and apparently more anime characters are going to be the omega spellkeepers.

and also goddamn if the game looks this good in the still screens I can't wait to see them in motion.

[burnfist23.livejournal.com]

So our Omega Spells are Anime Tenchou (Fire), Horo (Wind), Index (Heal), and Super Zeus (Star). I just hope the Tera Spells return.

Oh man, they revamped the original Doppelganger. I'm so so happy.

[burnfist23.livejournal.com]

Horo, Index, and Taiga were in Z.H.P. You can even change your main character's sprite to look like them.

As for Taiga in Disgaea 4, I kinda doubt it. The last spell left is Omega Ice and Taiga doesn't really fit in with Ice. Unless they have another attack that they can throw her into, I'm pretty sure Taiga is out of the question.

[burnfist23.livejournal.com]

That seems even more unlikely.

[burnfist23.livejournal.com]

Asagi (Or rather her jacket sleeve) is already in the group picture so she's confirmed to be in Disgaea 4 and Pleinair is practically a given in the Disgaea series.

[mario-0345.livejournal.com]

So... after looking at the androids some more it seems like they are going to be a monster class.

[burnfist23.livejournal.com]

Where did you find that out? There's only one screenshot of them and only the default status screen shows up. I mean, they're not wielding any weapons, but there's no real indication of whether or not they're a humanoid or monster class.

I hope they are monsters, magichange with a cyborg would be awesome.

Dengeki called them a female-type class/job (human) instead of race (monster) or character (ambiguous).
