Disgaea 3 Official Material Collections Book

[charmwitch.livejournal.com]

New book information is coming out for Disgaea 3, here's some of what I could find:

Name : Makai Senki Disgaea 3 Official Material Collections Book (魔界戦記ディスガイア３ 公式設定資料集)

There's a bit of conflicting information on this book, on even what it is. It seems to be the artbook for Disgaea 3, although I'm not sure why they decided to go with a completely different publication and title for it...

NEOWING states :

Format: BOOK
Release Date: 2009/03/20
Price: 2400yen (2520yen Tax incl.)
Item weight: 700 g
Pages : 124
Size : A4
NOTE : Neowing states that a free pencil board will come with the book.

AMAZON states :
Pages : 104
Publisher: ソフトバンククリエイティブ (2009/3/7) (Softbank Creative)
ISBN-10: 4797351519
ISBN-13: 978-4797351514
Release Date: 2009/3/7
Price : 2,520 (after Tax)
NOTE : Amazon also states it's a (GIANT SIZED) Book.

From what I can gather, it'll have character sketches for both the game and DLC, there'll be world sketches, introductions, interviews, and establishing articles about the World of Disgaea 3, background info, uhmn.... new art, propaganda art, all of the materials used in the game...

Well, either way, it's coming out at some point and it's already sold out on CDJapan. I pre-ordered it from Bk1 myself because it seems to be very limited in quantities. Everything about this book seems... a bit weird compared to the other Character Colletions, from name all the way down to the publisher, so who knows...

More info once things get straightened out, I guess.

*Added classes: Angel and Entei (Better known to Disgaea 1 fans as the Great Wyrm/Alternate Overlord class)
*New Sword and Gun Skills
*Prism Red, Marjoly, and Asagi are now also playable (Asagi also gets her own magichange and it's...well...it's...unique...)
*Peta Star gives me cavities (And from the looks of it, it won't be fully animated like Disgaea 2's Tera Spells. Looks pretty flashy without the animation, though).
*The final one is a little puzzling. Is there some new double magichange going into effect here or something?
