Phantasy Star Zero screens show off janky typeface.
If you’re unsure what I’m complaining about with these screenshots, it’s the font that squishes W’s and M’s, with lowercase m’s looking more like n’s with a bloated stem. It’s a minor complaint, but presumably an avoidable one if the studio modifies the fontset or the game to better display these letters (with character display limitations kept in mind, of course).
Other DS games with this problem: Retro Game Challenge (in the magazines and manuals), Suikoden Tierkreis, The Dark Spire, and Avalon Code.
You can see more English screenshots of the game, which I’m still very interested in buying, in this set.

I know it’s a trivial and hypercritical complaint, but someone please tell NIS America that Disgaea DS deserves better than to have the Hobo typeface strewn over its artwork, even if it is just a random banner on the series’ official site.
If I was Disgaea character designer Takehito Harada, I would murder the American web production lackey who desecrated my work in such a way. Then again, if I was Takehito Harada, I’d also ask myself why I’ve been drawing an underage girl as a skimpily clad bondage queen (though technically, Etna ia 1400+ years old).
