Re: Flonne looks horrible in MK.... I thought Flonne looked much better in Phantom Brave then she does in Makai Kingdom but I agree Disgaea had better sprites then Makai Kingdom. As of late the graphic on the Nippon's SRPGs have been getting rather weak.
Flonne had no voice in Phantom Brave so I am guessing the actress was unavalable and new one had to be brought on for MK.
Re: Flonne looks horrible in MK.... Well, in the Japanese version, Marona and Laharl had the same voice actress, so they already had her on board and didn't have to hire her just to do 5 or 6 or lines. I guess it has something to do with the sound files themselves as to why Flonne wasn't voiced in the US release (since she has the same voice actress as Marona in the US)...
Re: Flonne looks horrible in MK.... I just want to go on record to say that I love Flonne's design in Makai Kingdom. And I'm happy with her voice actress also. There were some changes - but it's still recognizable as Flonne! And the art for her was really good at least, if the sprite was 'just okay'.
Besides, it's Devil Flonne!
Fight, Debiru Flonne! Don't be discouraged! Make your guest appearances with the fiery rage of... angelic love and goodness!

I have to correct this.
Yes, she did.
But, only in battle. It's the same actress as before, and for Marona.

Re: Flonne looks horrible in MK.... Personally I think that Flonne is just as cute as what we saw with her first appearance. The only thing that really changed was her wardrobe. Of course... We could have gone without her self-refferal as the "Warrior of Love" for those of us who have ever watched Cutie Honey...
Re: Flonne looks horrible in MK.... NIS did admit that Makai Kingdom was a rushed game. I mean not rushed in terms that the game just sucks horribly. I mean the sprites are pretty compact and lacking in detail and they had several music composers behind the game's music. Look at the sprites for Disgaea 2. Big improvement on even Disgaea.
Re: Flonne looks horrible in MK.... I thought that, overall, the sprites just weren't great in MK (likely due to the aforementioned rushed development), and didn't particularly notice Flonne's as having been better or worse than anyone else's.
The artwork, on the other hand, was very well done.
