Disgaea Thread
>>339656413
What Disagea game should I play first? Or, what order in general?
I own Disgaea: Hour of Darkness for my PS3, but I intend to get whatever version is out on Steam.
>>339657590
The only version on Steam right now is the first game.
>>339657590
If you have ps3, get Triple Play Collection which is Disgaea 3, Disgaea 4 and Disgaea D2 (Sequel to Hour of Darkness) pretty sure it's like 40$.
>>339657590
Since you have a PS3 you can play every Disgaea except for 5. I recommend playing in order, but it's not required since every story is standalone.
The steam release is the best way to experience Disgaea 1, since I believe the PS3 port doesn't include the extra content like Etna mode.

>>339659292
Odd, my D3 Vita never froze.
>>339659165
D4 Vita is pretty much objectively superior to D3 Vita.
>>339659143
Thanks anon. Etna mode sounds indispensible.

What the fuck, NIS? I want another DLC poll.

With mods
There is a mod to add the exclusive content from the DS/PSP version IIRC.
>>339659841
I'm retarded, I thought you were ranking them when I glanced your post. Still, better play D4 Vita if he can instead of D4. Maybe PSP D2 too but I'm unsure about that.
Do they plan to bring all Disgaeas to Steam?
I was thinking about buying the one on PS4, but if they start coming to PC I can wait a few years to buy it.
>>339660020
>>There is a mod to add the exclusive content from the DS/PSP version IIRC.
What mods? The only thing Disgaea PC is missing is playable Plenair from the DS version as well as the shitty Prinny commentary that only worked because there were 2 screens. Disgaea PC IS the PSP version.
>>339660203
>The only thing Disgaea PC is missing is playable Plenair from the DS version
Yup.

ALMAZ
BEST BOY
>>339660352
Best version now
I hope they "fix" 2 DLCs
>>339660574
The reality is that people would go crazy with mods in a game like Disgaea. Imagine if D5 got ported wirth workshop support or something.
>>339660716
I don't see they doing thatBut one can only dream
Anyone got that drawing with Taro, Hanako and the Male Healer?You know which one I'm talking about.
Please post etna
>>339659869
I'm on it senpai.
>>339660352
Huh. Totally forgot about those guys, Adell and Rozalin only had 1 skill and they both looked absoutely awful on the DS, I hope they were able to mod in proper visual and sound effects.
>>339659869
I've only played a couple disgaea games but I noticed that these games seem to completely ignore the idea of balancing game mechanics and coming up with creative level design. It seems like the developers expect players to find ways to have fun aside from just playing through the story maps (as opposed to typical SRPGs where most of the fun is thinking up tactics to beat each map).
Does this design philosophy extend to all NIS games or just the Disgaea series?
>>339659869
>>339661630
>>339656413
Where does the word Disgaea come from? Does it have a meaning in universe?
>>339661630
>>339661543
Senpai I love you. Also that firearm.
I hope that shit becomes a weapon for Hundred to use.
>>339661781
Dis=Not
Gaea=Earth
>>339661896
I was thinking that was the answer, just checking if I missed anything.
>>339661896
I wonder how "accurate" that would sound to someone who actually speak the languate
>>339661781
The word Gaea means Earth from the Greek word Gaia which was the name of the Goddess.
The word Dis means disrespect ful/apart from. In Roman mythology the word Dis also was the name of the God of the Underworld.
Disgaea can be translated as =
1) Disrespectful Earth
2) Disrespectful Earth Goddess
3) Underworld Earth
4) Underworld Earth Goddess
5) Underworld God Earth
6) Underworld God Earth Goddess
Both words are making a reference between the connection between Earth and the Underworld.
Metallica is the best thing to happen to Disgaea
>>339661760
Last one.
>>339662342
>Tfw Metallica was originally made to be a flat loli semen demon with facial markings.
Fuck my shit up senpai.
should I buy D5 or Metallias game?
>>339662346
Thanks for the pictures mate. Can't wait for the W&HK2 looks like it's going to be in a sunny to winter like place.
Kind of curious to learn what Hundred did to get summoned in their world, and what possible shit Nike had in it.
>>339656413
1>4>D2>3>2
>>339662615
Disgaea 5. Not to diss Metallia's game, you're just gonna have a more wholesome NIS experience with their flagship title.
On a side note, I've been playing and learning about other SRPG series' for the past few weeks. A lot of them hardly get past 2 games and yet Disgaea has 6 and even stylishly handled the transition from PS3 to PS4, I never realized how lucky I was that my favorite series isn't in the same level of obscure then that of like, Dept. Heaven or something.

I really, really hope this means that modders can fix the broken DLCs from Disgaea 2 (and port the ones that weren't released here) once that game comes to PC.
>>339663487

Who's the best character in D4?
In D5 it was metallia and usaria
>>339666056
In the vita version, its Stella.
>>339666056
D4 had no good characters, I stopped playing it because everyone was constantly so fucking obnoxious I couldn't stand it.
Just got D5 recently, it's fun to play but that's basically a given in this series.
Story's a little weak versus the other games in my opinion though. Also wish they brought back monster Fusion from 4, that was fun.
>>339666538
Val is best disgaea MC
>>339667246
Sure, but the rest of the cast of the game is fucking terrible, and they all get TONS more screen time than him and his werewolf boytoy.
>>339667246
Val is shit. Every other word is muh sardines.
>>339667351
This. At least D5 got it right, pretty much everyone on the cast is likableexpect Usalia.
>>339667351
Desco and Emizel weren't that bad. If I'm remembering right Emizel was the most developed out of all of them.
>>339668238
>except Usalia
Get out
>>339667351
The only bad character in 4 was Fuka
>>339668569
Fight me!
>>339668668
>>339668437
Shes unimpressive and has so little personality that she ended up befriending the killer of her parents. I like her design but in game I just kinda forgot she existed.
Majorita is the best loli of the entire series though.
>>339668569
If they weren't bad they were mediocre. But that doesn't matter, Fuuka was bad enough to ruin the entire cast.
Why am I enjoying Killia so much? He's quickly becoming my favourite MC.
>>339668569
They were all bad.
>>339668569
I don't care what you think of me! This is just a stupid dream, anyway!
>>339668238
> everyone on the cast is likable
Seraphina exists. I know, it is a pain, but we cannot ignore shit when it is presented to us and we are forced to learn about its story.
>>339668818
>Shes unimpressive and has so little personality that she ended up befriending the killer of her parents. I like her design but in game I just kinda forgot she existed.
You say that when we have forgettable characters like Zeruken in there too? Or is he so forgettable you forgot about him completely?
>Majorita is the best loli of the entire series though.
YOU HAVE ABSOLUTE SHITTY TASTE. KILL YOURSELF, MAJORITA IS A PILE OF SHIT. DROP DEAD, FAGGOT.
>>339668818
>Majorita is the best loli of the entire series though
>>339659795
>Darkdeath Evilman
Come on, a 4 year old could come up with a better name than that.
>>339669884
Seraphina is one of the best of the main girls though. She's actually interesting and her rotten personality makes her fun. Much better than Arutina or Sapphire.
>>339670020
>>339670132
Etna is old an busted. I respect my Raspand Prambros but Maj is my new queen.
>>339668818
>Majorita is the best loli of the entire series though.
end yourself my man
>>339670465
>>Seraphina is one of the best of the main girls though.
A taste this shitty should be a crime. You should be arrested.
>>339670471
Her final boss tripe got old real quick. Not to mention that Desco sounds like an off-brand soap company.
Why was every character in D4 only given a single dimension of personality?
>>339670390
You do realize his name (and most of the game) is a big fat parody of the super sentai genre, right? No shit the last boss has a dumb sounding name.
>>339670656
I'm having a lot of fun actually, my tastes are usually so close to popular characters that its interesting seeing all these shit taste claims. Pray tell, what are the best regular girls of the series? Rozalin?
>>339670656
It would only be a crime if he said Saphire was best.
>>339670905
Best girl is actuallyEvil Ranger Pink, thenYukimaru, followed byAsagi in Prinny 2.
>>339670905
Yes
>>339670776
The only one that actually got on my nerves was Fuka. Everyone else was fine to me.
How long until we get D2D2 with female Adell?
>>339671491
>How long until we get D2D2
I hope for it every day
>female Adell
This good enough for you?
>>339670905
Rozalin is pretty damn good.
Did you like how they approached the LoC in Disgaea 5? With the whole pink items shit and how it was mixed with the regular game.
I kinda miss the rank36-40 being exclusive to the LoC and I really disliked the fact that it makes the vast majority of your items irrelevant once you unlock it. It wasn't bad but I prefer the old way. And I pity the completionists too.
>>339656413
I've been playing Disgaea 4, and a few months ago I finished the main story. Now I can grind as much as I want...but what the fuck am I grinding for? I also got Adell and that THICC nun
>>339671845
To beat every map on 20 stars, LoC included.
>>339671491
>> D2D2
Probably soon
>>Female Adell
No, DD2 was a forgettable mess of a storyline and FemLaharl didn't help anything.She herself isn't a bad thing, but I don't want NIS to think we'll forgive a shit plot just by slapping tits on the cover. This isn't Neptunia.
>>339671845
Do you have Axel an the other postgame characters?
>>339659143
Wait.
Did they bring back combination specials in Disgaea 5?Are they no longer broken?
>>339671160
I don't understand the Fuka meme, at least she actually played a part unlike Seraphona or Emizel who could be cut from the story with little to no consequence
>>339672075
Yes, but it's only compatible between certain moves and only usable when characters have enough of a bond with each other.
>>339672058
Yeah, I did all of the post game chapters to get best girl
>>339672185
Her being relevant only made it worst. The problem wasn't that she was unimportant, the problem was that she was unbearable.
>>339672246
That's kinda how it worked in Disgaea 3.
Can Generics do it?
>>339672185
What do you mean? People don't like the "Blah blah blah this is all just my dream" shit.
>>339672058
I forgive DD2 for creating best girl
>>339672246
>Yes, but it's only compatible between certain moves and only usable when characters have enough of a bond with each other.
What bond? I don't think that's in the game. They either have it or don't.
>>339672292
Not to my knowledge.
>>339672185
I stopped caring about her purpose when she wouldn't shut the fuck up about everything being in her dream. She was annoying as shit.
>>339672405
That sucks.
Adds more impact for the uniques, I guess.
>>339672545
They also don't have unique Overloads while I'm at it, a real pity.
>>339672545
The combo skills in D5 are more "here's what these 2 characters can do" VS D3's "Here's 2 moves kind of slapped together. D5 honestly does it a lot better. Mao and Almaz's are GOAT, around the 2:53 mark.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBC1Ru1sOvY
>>339672283
>>339672342
>>339672432
She couldn't admit it wasn't a dream even when she accepted it because it would have meant not being able to be with her friends and sister in her normal form anymore.
And i like the Unprinny costume a lot
I wish I knew how to design dresses like Rozalin's
>>339660073
Seeing that Phantom Brave is coming too, probably, but it will take time.
>>339670804
Since we're talking Z.H.P., there's one particular cutscene that had me wondering for a while.Towards the end of the game, after Pirohiko gets "revived" and Darkdeath is about to blow up since you can't beat him, he gets in Darkdeath's face and does what the reporter says is a "victory" sign, but in reality he's just asking for 2 hours more so they can buff up the Unlosing Ranger.
I get the feeling I've seen that exact scene in DBZ during the Cell saga, but since it's been long since watching it I'm not sure. Is it?
>>339673918
That doesn't happen, no.
>>339672670
I don't even know what Overloads are.
No PS4 so Disgaea D2 is the best I can do.
>>339673787
Based on Phantom Brave I suspect they are trying to do these releases in order. Screencap this:
Their upcoming game ports (that haven't already been announced) will be in this order:
>Makai Kingdom
>Disgaea 2
>Soul Nomad
With Criminal Girls 2 thrown in somewhere in the middle.
>>339673263
Don't bother trying to explain it to them, Fuka isn't all that bad when you realize she basically has to force herself into believing she's in a dream to keep functioning. She's essentially a lost soul who couldn't even become a Prinny, and needs to keep vehemently denying the fact that she's dead because the second she slips up, she loses the mentality it takes to keep her in fighting form and would probably turn into an actual ghost class.
I don't really care for Fuka, but there's more to her than just muh dream.
>>339656413
I only played the first game, it looked like it was all slapped together with a $100 budget. I've probably seen better indie games with such low budget.
I really don't understand the appeal of this series.
>>339674402
>I played a 10+ year old RPG and didn't like the graphics so it's bad
>>339674149
>Soul Nomad on PC
I really want this.
>>339673263
>>339674172
The sole reason she doesn't admit she's dead is because they couldn't be fucked to record new battle dialogue.
>>339674402
Disgaea 1 is, I think 12+ years old dude
>The Mage's stance is different in D5.
Aww, I liked her old one
Also,
>Favorite monster class was only in the first game.
Still upsets me a little.
>>339674673
Same here.
>>339674402
>pcfags
NISA needs to stop making pc ports.
>>339674790
Which one? Personally I miss the vampire.
>>339674950
The Galactic Demons.
Fun moveset and was a great tank unit.
>>339674898
You know there are some PC-fags that actually got into the series at its release and enjoy it right? New players trying out a game means some will learn they dislike it, and some people will learn they like it. It doesn't help that the first game is somewhat aged nowadays, which may skew the opinions of those with less patience.
>>339674734
Battle dialogue is always only a few oneliners, no matter the character
Is there anything wrong with the PC version of Disgaea 1? I don't want to play something that will crash on me a lot.
>>339674584
>>339674746
>>339674898
I wasn't necessarily talking about the visuals. The gameplay is a snoozefest, the jokes aren't funny, >le penguin army so randumb xDDD, not a SINGLE character is even remotely interesting.
Really, I'm just curious because this series gets so much praise by the small fanbase. I might try the other games someday, but I won't torture myself with D1 anymore.
>>339675081
It's no secret that D1 aged like ass, but I feel judging the game off of graphics alone is a pretty silly thing to do, especially when you look at where the series is now.
>>339674997
They were such an odd class, were you able to get any offensive use out of them? After a certain point it feels as if nothing can hurt them, but they can't seem to do enough damage to hurt anyone back. Maybe I just used mine wrong though.
>>339675418
Nope. It suffered from slowdowns on release but that turned out to be Steam Beta's fault.
>>339673918
Eh, wouldn't worry about it too much. I've seen plenty of anime (usually old ones) that have characters pose in front of the camera for a gag relief moment.
I really do wish we get more Pirohiko. Hell, anyone ZHP related really.
>>339675467
You sound like you're maybe 15 minutes in.
>>339675523
>were you able to get any offensive use out of them
Usually throwing them at a horde of enemies and using its skills to go to town on them.
Was also really good for running through lower level items.
>>339675467
>The gameplay is a snoozefest
That just means Tactical RPGs aren't your thing
>>339675467
Try Phantom Brave. Its more strategy oriented, has better music, and has a much more personal story with much more story focus.
>main character's family was killed to death and she has magical powers, so she is persecuted against as being different
>her brother, a sort of living ghost that didn't die but didn't quite survive either as the sole remnant of her family, lives on doing everything he can to protect her, but other people can't actually see him
Its golden.

>>339675949
>>her brother
Nah, Ash is just a family friend.
Undoubtedly best boy though.
>>339675949
Well, that definitely sounds better than D1. Thanks anon, I'll try it.
>>339675787
This. Granted D1 has the least going for it as far as diversity of gameplay elements, but it's still really solid from a technical standpoint as far as tactics rpgs are.
Only played D1 & ZHP.
Would D5 be worth 25 canadabucks?
>>339676519
Sure thing; don't get your hopes up TOO high, as it was made not too long after the first Disgaea was released and still retains some of the more boring battle content early on, but it does have some upsides that as I said make it much more strategy oriented:
>With the exception of the main character, your units cannot remain on the battlefield for more than a few turns, and once those units are gone they cannot be re-summoned back into battle
>depending on where you summon your unit, you get certain bonuses and negative effects, so where your character is summoning allies into battle and what unit it is that you summon there has an effect on your effectiveness in battle
I thought the game was kind of easy at first, summoning all my units into battle at once, but after a bit you realize that you have to summon the appopriate units into battle on certain parts of the battlefield, and never overdoing it so you have someone to fight with in different areas of the battlefield. It makes fights interesting and forces the player to be careful.
>>339676883
Yes.
>>339676883
Absolutely.
>>339675949
>>339676519
Try Makai Kingdom instead, it improved on the Phantom Brave gameplay

What's the definition of pure love, anon? Aren't siblings supposed to have their brains rigged so that the smell/pheremones of their siblings don't trigger lovey-sexy time?
It seems pretty unpure to go against nature's intentions like that.

>>339680274
I had someone mentioned the really skewed Female-to-Male ratio on my teams. Realized there that most of my favorite classes are female. Honestly surprised I didn't notice it sooner.
>>339675581
Makes me wonder why they suddenly stopped having him cameo in games after D3 Vita. They already have HD sprites from D4, so there wasn't much else to do to include Pirohiko in DD2 or D5.
>>339680274
Just get over it and keep that Heretic alive. He didn't do anything to deserve getting killed every time.
>>339680864
How can he be so darn cute?
