>>717279059 (OP)
-d, and the Disgaea franchise stopped being good after the second Prinny game released.

>>717279059 (OP)
I can't believe how ugly they made these games switching to 3D.

>>717279148
not ugly though

>>717279059 (OP)
What was the deal with the "japanese" setting 7 had?

>>717279297
What's not to get? It's what that netherworld is like and is the mood they went for with the game. It's not the first time the series had a theme like that. 3 was a school setting.

>>717279059 (OP)
What was the point of the boob jiggle at the end?

>>717279059 (OP)
-d

>>717279059 (OP)
-d even that boob jiggle looks lazily made.

>>717279059 (OP)
I'll probably go back to it eventually but i really wasn't feeling it.

>>717279516
It was for me. I asked for it.

>>717279516
What's the point of being a faggot?

>>717279059 (OP)
Actually it was pretty good and Phantom Brave actually wasn't bad either, the bad thing is NIS' Jew tactics that have persisted since the beginning

New Prinny game when?

>>717279059 (OP)
We need a Disgaea gacha.

>>717281704
Dood?

>>717281730
we had one it was shit but they had good alt designs.

>>717281791
>Dood?

>>717281730
There was (is?) one, but it was shit.

>>717279059 (OP)
Why the fuck is this game not 10 bucks or lower yet when it goes on sale?

>>717281901
>but it was shit.
How?

>>717279059 (OP)
Does 7 still have pantyshots?

>>717281935
Turn based slop that autoplays itself.

>>717282417
Yes.

>>717282443
Alright, im playing it. I need to bridge some time anyway. All i know is that the translation is actually quite faithful and has no nisa woke shit in it like trails.

>>717281809
>>717281901
What? Damn, I completely missed this. They should try again.

>>717282875
The fucked up the EN version. It does make money over at Japan and has some incredible Etna alts.

>>717282875
Yeah, maybe next time they should keep the SRPG format like in mainline but simplified.

>>717283135
It is insane that the gacha still has sprites but the mainline is some cheap 3D shit.

Why did NIS go from having a thicc artist to a sticc artist?

Loved 5 but the postgame grinding is worse than 4 (and that's most of your time playing)

>>717282875
yeah they just shut down en server like 2 years ago and all of us (many >500 hours spent) in the nis general just lost our accounts because they didn't even allow transfers to jp server kek

Looks like the recent surge of NIS threads have finally run out of juice. It was a good run though.

I shan't play until the complete version the Switch 2 is getting comes to PC.

>>717279059 (OP)
I dropped 7 around where you're introduced to the gigantification mechanic, not sure whether the game was boring or if I was just burned out, I played a fuck ton of 5 and 4 before that

>>717282875
I didn't realize it closed 2 years ago. Where has the time gone? It didn't stay around for very long.

>>717279148
yOu)

>>717290017
I don't think Etna is happy, dood.

>>717290017
why is etna pulling laharl's bikini string?

>>717279059 (OP)
I fucking hate the 3Dslopification of anime franchises.

>>717290735
play the game.

Which one would you marry?

>>717291719
flat and lewd

>>717291774
Rozalin is the canon wife

>>717291875
that's wrong because adell is a canon homosexual

>>717291948
well that means I can keep Rozy to myself

>>717282428
>autoplays itself
That’s just Disgaea as a whole now.

Why did we hate Disgaea 3 again?

>>717281809
was ok and kept disgaea atmosphere really well.
the problem imo was the rapid power kreep and how the only mechanic the devs seemed to know was "at the start of the battle, every stat gets +12 prinillions % if the compo is correct", which made everything pretty dull over time.

>>717291774
Etna is actually kind of a bitch
Rozalin is also kind of a bitch but much less so and we do get to see her romantic side, but she's for Adell and I would never cuck a dude as cool as him
Flonne isn't actually implied to be with Laharl and she means well so probably her

>>717292931
Adell is gay so that's not true.

>>717292129
It was shunned for having rather poor implementation of certain mechanics, being an SD game on the PS3, and being much goofier than the first two games. However, the Vita release fixed a lot of the gameplay changes, we have 3 games for HD sprites, and Disgaea simply did get goofier. Basically if you were to play the games in chronological order and knew nothing of D3's reputation you'd probably like it. The only thing I can say I actually dislike is the chapter where Mao's mental age regresses but even then it gives Almaz some development. Also, everyone fucking hated Mao, but I think he works as a very bizarre asshole.

For me, it's Running Fire

>>717281860
I almost thought this wasn't AI but her not keeping her mouth shut is the biggest tell

>>717279059 (OP)
It was a huge step in the right direction after the travesty that was 6 but the series hasn't kept up with the QoL needed for all the feature creep. I hit the post game and got burnt out on the grind not because of the grind itself but because of how fucking tedious it was swapping everyone's class mastery after every single stage. Once I realized I'd be doing it several hundred times I just called it quits and that issue could have been completely avoided if mastery was changed automatically and there's no reason for it not to because you gain literally nothing for staying focused on the same class.

>>717279059 (OP)
Hold up. Don't prinnies explode and you lob them into the air?

Etnas' Enta's.

>>717295605
But Etna has no etnas.

>>717279059 (OP)
I got 6 Complete for $8 and I'm hoping to get 7 for $8 as well. surely they'll be good for that price

>>717293335
D3 was my first one, so I enjoyed it and Mao. I don't know if I'd still have that same opinion now that I'm not a 12 year old, I should probably give the Vita version a try.

>>717295830
She has Etna's enough to be sexy

>>717295462
That Prinny isn't being thrown, it's clearly flying. I'm pretty sure they're actually supposed to explode upon any great impact so that should make him explode unless he's a special Prinny like Baal.

Are the games just as grindy as old ones? I love the series and art style but having to autistic grind item world non stop gets boring after a while
Or did they make it more casual?

Thoughts on Makai Kingdom?

I'm playing 7 right now, and I'm stuck at five star class mastery, do you unlock the sixth at some point?
Its not an XP thing, the bar is literally not moving.

>>717290882

remember she got top 3 in character poll

>>717297224
There's basically zero grinding in 7 unless you want to do post-game content. You can go straight from stage to stage and if you ever run into a problem you can bump everyone up multiple levels in just a few minutes.

>>717281704
Did you buy the NIS collection that includes the Prinny games?
They can't tell if you're still a fan if there's no sales to support it.

Was Fuji a forgettable MC? I never see anyone talking about him.

NIS is not full of homosexuals, that's why.

>>717298236
Nobody ever talks about the m*n

Honestly I'm genuinely surprised Disgaea managed to have 7 games, not including spinoffs.

>>717291774
I'm marrying usalia, girl laharl, and lieze. Also however many thieves I can afford.

>>717284212
What? I thought most people agreed that 5 was one of the easiest if not the easiest to do post-game grinding.

>>717297752
It's really cool and different, felt like Phantom Brave done right IMO. Wish the main story was longer.

>>717298591
This but also pram, metalia, nisa, asagi, and plenair

>>717290882
Semen fucking demon

>>717279059 (OP)
Where is disgaea 8? Will they finally have more characters than 5?

>>717298231
Not him but I did, and the ports fucking suck. No filter options so the games are blurry as fuck, and all the music sounds different (i.e worse).

Compare Switch with actual hardware and/or an emulator, and the difference is day and night.

>>717299237
pretty cool that the old artist drew the disgaea cast

>>717289782
I have to admit, 3D has some soul, maybe I've gotten used to it now

Forcing all prinnies to reincarnate as thieves!

>>717298236
Anon every male protag aside from Laharl is forgettable. Disgaea is a series about numbers, cute girls and the war between Demoflats and Rebooblicans.

>>717299584
ryoji is cool
really wish he was still with NIS mostly because he likes oppai loli

3d is such a limiting factor for crazy animations

>>717300169
I would agree with this but the Disgaea sprites have never been all that cartoony because the series has always relied on limited animation. You don't see much squash and stretch with the models but you didn't see much of it with the sprites either. It's far more about over-the-top attacks which rely on lasers and explosions, not absurd animation.

>>717300090

I mean I've only finished 1 and 5 but some of these stand out better than others in memory and most have more depth in their origin game than in any flanderized cameo appearances afterwards.

>>717299623
Ok this is pretty good

>>717300357
I haven't seen the omega or tera magics in the 3d games. but if they are also 3d modeled I can only imagine they became horribly simplified, and in the case of lasers and explosions they are clearly a bit toned down

>>717300461
Valvatorez is great in his game, he's got a fun dynamic with Fenrich. One of if not the most genuinely likable protagonist in the series, low bar I know. Your mileage may vary. Cmeo appearance story sections are usually not great, more of an excuse tie-in for a few maps before letting you play as the character.

>>717298587
Yeah all the games feel like official mobile games from 2010

>>717300864
If mobile games had this much effort they'd be worth every penny so long as they weren't infinite advertisement machines.

>>717279059 (OP)
>didn't use it on herself
DROPPED!!!!!!!

How was the last entry?

>>717301137
Bro what "effort"? Disgaea games are literally character PNGs and text, the same map textures reused over a million times, it has midi as fuck music, all the effort is put into attack animation and nothing else because the core gameplay is virtually the same across every title.
It's literally a series where the point is that you keep leveling up over and over to do bigger numbers instead of being actually creative to defeat enemies. Even Fire Emblem has more thought put into it.

>>717281901
They made Makai Wars into a gacha but that died and nobody recorded the story either.

>>717281730
I don't see how a Disgaea gacha can work out. Like... sure they have way more than enough characters to fill out a roster but one of the main appeals of the series is autistic grinding and min/maxing your characters. Gacha games do not allow that. They allow grinding and they allow min/maxing but not in the same way that you can autistically grind a single player game. Gachas always have gating because that's how they encourage you to spend money. If you can just grind your way through all the content that's what people are going to do because that's something Disgaea fans enjoy.

>>717293638
Fuck, I forgot how good this song was.

>>717302015
Sizechad, the entire gimmick of Disgaea 7 is growing your units to giant size. It's fucking amazing.

Hey Kings.
I really like Lady Samurai. May I get some art of her posted in this thread, perchance?

>>717279516
You gay

>>717305119
She's one of my favorite generics just for her usage alone. Never fails to be reliable.

>>717305928
Reminder that this character was never sexualized.

>>717305928
Too much

I finished 5 two years ago. Should I play 6 next or skip to 7?

>>717306318
Skip to 7, you can play 6 later but only if you really feel like it. 7 is simply better than it and everyone will tell you that.

>>717306318
The only thing good about six is the story for the first two thirds or so. There's some genuinely good and heartwarming interaction between Zed and Bieko but that doesn't salvage a game with so many flaws. 7 shows that they listened to a lot of feedback and learned from a lot of their mistakes and it's just a better game in general for it.

>>717298236
He was alright. They did the usual Disgaea thing of pushing a running gag on him way too hard that wasn't amusing to begin with. He was at his best when got to interact with Ao, but she was sidelined for most of the game. If he comes back as a cameo character, I can see him being more likable overall since they'd focus on him being a dad.

Gameplay-wise he's Adell with a sword. The only thing really holding him back is that outside of Hell Mode he doesn't have a strong single-target skill. His uniques overlap with the generic sword skills and D7 stops at Rising Heavens. No Super Crosslord here.

Dood?

Im glad the prinnies were not overbearing in 7

>>717309831
ask harada

>>717299623
I liked the look from the start but it still sucks to loose another 2D studio

>>717279059 (OP)
Disgaea 7 was good. Now let's see Disgaea 8.

>>717309831
Because Harada has excellent taste.

>>717279059 (OP)
Remember when Laharl being a demon/human hybrid was a supposed to be a big deal? Now it seems these halfling freakshows are not that rare anymore.

>>717304965
Yeah yeah, you say that, but where was the art if it was so good?

disgaea bros, im trying to decide between playing these games or the atelier games, which do you recommend?

>>717314276
you're going to get biased responses because you're in the digaea thread but i generally found disgaea much more interesting than atelier (but not to hate on atelier or anything like that)

>>717314276
Disgaea obviously. The only Atelier games that I care for is the original Arland trilogy. These series aren't very similar though.

>>717298621
Not enough to simply max level your item and stack some innocents. You need Training+Kill Bonus.

>>717315882
Which takes far far longer than maxing item level.

>>717299623
this is genuinely one of the best ones, but they really need to stop making 3d feel so stiff

>>717314276
Play the pre-Rorona games and you get to act sophisticated and talk down to the fanbase.

>>717316403
Don't forget Mana Khemia on your resume. It's totally an atelier game.

I know I'm a fool for hoping a complete d7 will come to PC.

>>717316959
Eh, Ive realized that I never use the DLC characters anyway
