And that's the past two weeks in review, thank you for your patience! NIS has finally made their big announcement for the seventh Disgaea game, and it boasts a whopping forty-five generic units, a notable jump up from the previous iteration's somewhat lacking generic roster. (Presumably, many were cut due to it being their first step into 3D.)
