is disgaea 5 good
>disgaea
>good
I think you already know the answer
>>321367364
Is it on sale or something? The answer is yes if you like grindy tactics games with anime characters. No if otherwise.
>>321367364
It's one of the best titles in the series, actually. One of the stronger casts (better than 3 and 4) and gameplay wise it's the best it's ever been.
>>321367491
How's the cast compare to previous games
Is it as arbitrary as Disgaea 3's cast or does it go full on Fuka and Desco and shit the bed
My favourite since 2! Really a lot of fun, I can't recommend it more.
>>321367615
killia's decent enough
red magnus is fun
christo is interesting
seraphina is hit or miss, i personally liked her and the interactions with killia but lots of people hate her
zeroken is just kind of there and feels really tacked on
usalia is fucking godawful and makes any conversation she participates in worse
antagonists are kind of eh, void dark is literally named void dark and i guess you do want to kill him so he does his job well enough
majorita is another shitty overpowered little anime girl, you've seen this before
game's mechanics are the best in the series though so i recommend it
Yes.
It streamlines a lot buy doesn't really do anything new.
>>321367836
Zeroken literally sounds and feels like a rehashed Axel. Also why are there so many fist using main characters in this game
>Killia
>Zeroken
>Void Dark
>Bloodis
>they even have a tag special together
>>321367836
I see that the DLC is probably the jewiest I've ever seen. Literally nobody new, everyone who's DLC are the main characters of each game. And besides that you have Kunoichi and Female Angels as DLC too because reasons
>>321368845
NIS is really jew-y with their DLC. If they really are too terrible at coding to port it to Vita I hope there's a PC re-release with all the DLC.
>>321369898
oh yeah they put disgaea 1 on steam so they just have to work from there.
And don't forget the myriad bugs that would surely happen from NISA being incompetant at everything they do
I loved FFTA and FFTA2 would I like this?
Remember /v/? the first time you laid eyes upon Disgaea? how refreshing the characters look like? how the story was quirky and tongue in cheek but not too much that it got to your tits?
Best gameplay in the series.
Writing is better than 3 and 4, but still not as enjoyable as PS2 era NIS.
>>321371195
Ah, sod off. 5 definitely had a better story than 2 did. Hell, 4 did too.
>>321367364
>>321367615
pretty gud. probably 3rd best OVERALL cast in the series. (1>2>5>3>4>D2)
>>321372393
remember when the cast of disgaea 1 had the defenders of earth
oh yeah me neither because they weren't mentioned at all in DD2
>>321372393
>1>5>4>2>3>D2
FTFY
I liked it. Best in the series desu.
>>321367364
It's my game of the year, pyon
>>321367491
How grindy are we talking?
>hey you know what would be a good idea
>let's just remove these classes that have become staples, for no reason
>not even give them analogous replacements like the Sage for Omyo Monks
>no masked hero
>no beast tamer
>no majin/android
>no male armor knight
>hell let's even remove the shark dragon that we brought back just for DD2
>>321374274
>Liking men
>Skull/Witch tiers were redone to make them in-line with other classes, meaning they have 6 tiers like everyone else, their element is chosen on character creation instead
>Skull tiers were renamed Novice/Good/Trained/Professional/Master/Ultimate skull, received entirely new palettes too
>Witch tiers remain Red/Green/Blue/Star/Prism/Galaxy for whatever reason
>>321372915
Valvatorez is awesome but the rest of the cast ranges from "ok" (Desco, Fukka, possibly Fenfen) to nothings like Emizel & Atrina
And while I cant say much for the rest of the 2 cast, the character relationship/development between Adell & Rozy blows any other character relations in the series the fuck out.
>>321374206
So grindy that it's an important aspect and selling point of the game.
DSP disgaea 5 playtrough is fun!
Have you played Disgaea 1? Play that. Each sequel is 10x worse. Take that for how you enjoy 1.
>>321375490
the dumbest part of 4 was the Vita port's story
>Okay so we're covering how Valvatorez and Artina met that's cool
>EXCEPT
>Fuka and Desco shoehorn themselves into the plot by time traveling
>also this shitty girl who has no idea what the fuck she's doing is in there for some reason and also she's spirited away to the future to live with the main cast except nobody cares
>>321374604
What's the big deal?
Never played a disgaea in my life. Do I start with 5 or the version of 4 on vita?
>>321376120
The deal is that like I said, their classes were re-worked.
Originally they only had 4 tiers. Red/Green/Blue was tier 1 (they had the same stats but used Fire/Wind/Ice magic), Star was 2, Prism was 3, and Galaxy was 4.
in 5, they had 6 basic tiers like other classes, so the Red/Green/Blue tiers aren't necessary. Your element is chosen at character creation. Despite this, witches still have those colors. Red Witch is tier 1, Green Witch is Tier 2, etc, despite the fact that your Red Witch might be using Ice Magic.
>>321376564
I love Skull mages!
Is disgaea good?!
BREH
>>321375941
Disgaea 1's gameplay is objectively awful though. The cast is the only redeeming feature of D1, really. Even then, I don't think it has the best cast in Disgaea.
>>321376016
This character made me appreciate DFC, I was entirely set on cow tits until her.
>>321376729
adult skulls never ever again
Shota skulls onry
>>321378019
Why would I not want shota skulls?
Post yfw trap cleric
>>321378107
>they get mad when they're mistaken for girls
I wouldn't call them traps, especially even considering one personality has them vehemently convinced that they're manly
No it's not good. It's pretty meh and you might as well play final fantasy tactics.
>>321376564
This triggered me heavily.
>>321374274
Don't forget, Kunoichi in DLC jail.
>>321378256
Nice try, but you cannot stop my erection.
>>321378448
>people only give a shit about female ninjas and angels
>they're DLC
why has Kunoichi been DLC for like 3 games straight now?
>>321378720
NIS is going down. They're taking our wallets and waifu's with them.
>>321378582
They are impure
>>321367364
My fav of the series so far, I've played all the main numbers in the series! Enjoy it, OP
>>321376356
Go with 5, they're stand alone games and 5 is better than 4
>MC didn't turn out to be a flat tomboy girl
fuck this
