Phantom Kingdom

[Lumaeru]

After having released Phantom Brave and the first two Disgaea games, do you think we could possibly see the next Phantom game--Phantom Kingdom PC--being released in the future?
*And maybe even Phantom Wars (if they finally decide to continue the series.)

"Phantom kingdom" is usually called "Makai kingdom" (I think the western PSP version was called "Phantom" in some places), and it's not really the same series.

It does share a few mechanics, but they are pretty different games, and not just in the story telling and characters.
The equipment system is more conventionnal (not just a weapon slot), the summons stay and are created from items in the base rather than on the field, the "out of bound" has actual uses, the maps are in multiple parts, and the "main" character can't actually clear maps on his own (he can't move on his own after all).

I definitely want Makai kingdom on PC, because it's such a great game, but it's not really part of a series with phantom brave.

Really? I've grown up with "Phantom Brave" and "Phantom Kingdom" and I always thought they were part of the same series. The games even play similarly, with updated mechanics and design; as those you've stated. Well, they're still a similar series of games and genre, along with Disgaea and the handful of spin-offs.

Changing "Phantom" with "Makai" seems confusing to me--also one of the reasons I've believed it to be a sequel to "Phantom Brave"--especially since it's a translation, to a different language than it's localization(?)... *Translation from Japanese "Phantom" to English "Makai" which is really just Japanese "Phantom" to Japanese "Makai", while "Kingdom" remains the same.
