Re: Phantom Kingdom announced for the PS2 platform
I am glad to see the dark setting back. That's what made Disgaea so much fun. Hope to hear more info about it soon.

Re: Phantom Kingdom announced for the PS2 platform
Does that mean we'll be getting it the same time japan does? I really love all of NIS games (any they publish be it their's or another, they have excellent taste in games!) and it would be awsome if both came out at the same time.

Re: Phantom Kingdom announced for the PS2 platform
Man I'm already hyped up about this game. I saw Confine still there so I'm guessing thats still used in some form. And the weapons and characters look really really cool! All I hope is that its turn-based like Phantom Brave and not Disgaea.

Well the way I see it, Disgaea was more turn-based than PB. PB kinda had an "ATB" system... at least that's what they called it in FFT. What I mean is that how fast turns come up depend on who is fastest, rather than just taking turns between enemy and ally.

Both Disgaea and PB are turn-based.
ATB stands for Active Time Battle and Final Fantasy Tactics didn't use it. FF7, FF8, etc. used it. And what ATB meant was that it was turn-based, but you only had so much time to give a command before your enemy could interfere with your attack. Thus time was of the essence.
How soon you get to attack again in Phantom Brave is based on initiative which is dependent on the speed of your characters.

Re: Phantom Kingdom announced for the PS2 platform
I know what ATB is. By cross-checking, they called it the CT (charge-time) bar in FFT. It was essentially an SRPG version of the ATB system. According the the instruction booklet, when the bar is full and it becomes a character's turn, that is called the "Active Turn." It can thus be inferred that the bar is a sort of Active Turn Bar, or ATB. Not Active "Time" of course, but essentially the same thing. You see where I'm going with this. Besides, when I said ATB, I had it in quotes because it wasn't an exact ATB system. I knew what I was getting myself into =P
