DIsgaea D2?

Been some time since I played this series, and given how Playstation is handling itself lately I thought to look at Steam for them. My search for previous discussion about this leads me with stuff that was 4 years ago, that was necro'd from a question from an additional 4 years ...
Google claims the only way to this is a PS3, and if I see things right, Steam isn't gonna get this one?

With the horrendous handling of the Disgaea 5 demo where the entire game was basically included but blocked by one line of code, the 9 months of delay to finish the remaining parts of the game after wards. And now the Switch exclusiveness of the Disgaea 6 localization even though it's on PS4 in Japan I wouldn't hold your breath of seeing D2 or even 3 ported any time soon.
Depending on your PC you might be able to emulate D2 though as long as you own the disc if PS3 hardware is not an option. You will want at least a 6th gen i7 or newer to try or you will find that it bogs down.

You bring up Disgaea 5, yet Disgaea 4 came out on PC quite a bit after that.

So...

Disgaea 4 pc was ported from the PS4 version not from the PS3 version. Different can of worms to work from.

As was Disgaea 5 so....your point?

Honestly it seems like NIS (not NISA, who really has little to no say in it anyway) kinda wants to forget DD2 exists. It's not like it's been ported at all.

As for Disgaea 6, well interesting thing about that....

Disgaea 5 is the switch one hence the same graphics and things as complete.

Very interesting that there's seperate PAL and NTSC listings for PS4, if this is true i'll probably get 6 then

One doesn't have to be a keen observer to see that Japanese devs (from here on referred to as Jevs) have realized that not porting their PS3/XBOX360 games to newer consoles is basically leaving money on the table, and when stuff gets ported to PS4/PS5, it gets ported to PC too because why would you port something and then leave out the largest growing platform?

The other dude forgot that 4 was ported from PS3 to PS4 first before coming to PC. Same thing will happen to D2 eventually, if it's not already in the works.

Looks like all Jevs are doing this, it's easy money. That's why all the the Atelier games from the PS3 era are all on PS4/PS5 and PC. As well as Valkyria Chronicles, Ni No Kuni, Vesperia,
I wouldn't be surprised to see Xillia 1 and 2 and Graces F get ported to PC in the next year or so, Eternal Sonata, too.

Disagaea 3 is the one I wouldn't put money on, it's not that beloved and they'd have to redo the sprites for new gen consoles (Disgaea 4 already had HD sprites, as did D2), they might just skip that one, if we ever see it on PC, it's likely not gonna get the "Complete" treatment Disgaea 1 and 4 got.

To me, the more interesting question is if Disgaea 1 complete is ever going to be available on PC and if so, how do they sell it. Would it be an upgrade for owners of Disgaea PC? Would it be a separate game with a loyalty discount? Or simply a full price game?

One thing I know for sure, as the PC market grows, especially in Asia, and considering the amount of censorship Jevs had to endure from Playstation in recent years since they moved their headquarters from Tokyo to California in 2016, I only see them embracing PC more and more, so the days of seeing consoles getting games we don't will soon come to a close.

I dobn't think there's much in the 'Complete' version of 4 that wasn't in the Vita version is there?
I don't think there's any DLC on top of it that wasn't in the base game (the Disgaea wiki doesn't mention any) so justa port of the Vita version would be 'complete' anyway.
And who says they'd "have" to use HD sprites?

I doubt they'd re-release it on home consoles without the HD sprites, otherwise they would've done the same for Disgaea 1 which was basically the PC port plus HD sprites and a few QoL improvements.

I want D3 ported mostly because i want to say i own all of them for my PC. I want Brighter Darkness ported because honestly SO far i think it's honestly one of the better games. The story was ok to even good, and was the birth play of female lahuaral. I will always say MOUNTING is way better then Magi change in every way. The character roster all does have

Given that NiS did not want their game censored to ♥♥♥♥ and butchered by Sony was the motivator behind the Switch Exclusiveness. PS4 in Japan didn't censor the game and Sony made it very clear (their HQ is now in San Francisco btdubs) they are out to censor Japanese games PERIOD. They did not want to hinder the success of their sixth installment through ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ political correctness from us westerners.
