Nippon Ichi: Difference between revisions

 

Games developed by Nippon Ichi (Note that this list only includes releases outside of Japan):

 

* ''Jigsaw Madness'', an oft-forgotten [[Puzzle Game]] that was their first title to be released outside Japan.

* ''[[Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten]]''

* ''[[The Witch and The Hundred Knights]]''

 

Nippon Ichi America also serves as a publisher for several other smaller development houses in Japan. Releases from these include:

* [[One Stat to Rule Them All]]: Because of how damage is calculated, defense becomes increasingly useless as attack power increases. At high levels, the most viable strategy is to pump your attack stat (usually ATK or INT) as high as possible and just blitz the enemy in a one-turn do-or-die attack. In [[Phantom Brave]], Speed can claim a tie or even a solo first if used as the attack stat.

* [[Over Nine Thousand]]: The sheer amount of high levels in most N1 games is just ''staggering'' to the average RPG fan. Add in that you can also level up weapons and abilities to insane levels and...

* [[Recurring Boss]]: Baal, Laharl, [[La Pucelle|Prier]], and Asagi.

* [[Rocket Tag Gameplay]]: High-level random dungeon enemies and bonus bosses can usually kill player units in one hit regardless of defense stats. The reverse is generally true, though bosses are a bit more resilient.

* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: Asagi... maybe, kinda. To elaborate—Asagi was a demo character used to test out one of the games's engines (the persistent rumor is that she was supposed to be the main character of the canceled ''Makai Wars'' for the PSP), but the developers liked her so much that they kept her around as a cameo in other games. She usually [[Painting the Fourth Wall|bemoans the fact that she doesn't have her own game yet]] and tries to [[Hostile Show Takeover|take your game for her own.]] So she's an Early Bird Cameo for a game that hasn't been made yet.

* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Seedle, Drazil, and Super Hero Aurum all get lectures like this.

* [[Everything Sounds Sexier in French]]: Mid-Boss, as well as the fact a lot of characters have French words for names (''La Pucelle'' especially so).

* [[Fallen Hero]]: {{spoiler|Thorndyke and Gig in [[Soul Nomad]]. Thorndyke's fall is in the Demon Path and Gig was tossed (through the actions of Drazil before the game) down. Super Hero Aurum also applies.}}

* [[Gag Boobs]]: Most female characters either have these or are on the [[Pettanko|other end of the scale]].
