This isn't a /vg/. Your lack of conversational skills is not my problem.

weak garbage franchise
like everything Nippon Ichi

Talk about the crossovers and spin-offs.

Apparently Celestia works a lot like the Netherworld.

>>3789293
In the Netherworld, the overlord is usually inherited or overthrown. While God is selected through a magic lottery machine.

>>3788087
yup

Get with the times. Play more RPGs

There is objectively nothing wrong with Disgaea 7.
But it was so boring, I dropped it mid game. They played it too safe imo.

To be fair. Trillion:God of Destruction was technically an Idea Factory game, but they had Disgaea staff working on it.

>>3791920
this is such a cool looking game and it's got such a neat concept and then you see it's from idea fuck and you go "man maybe i will not play that shit after all"

I've only played 1 and 2. I enjoyed the 2nd game more. Are the newer ones any better in regards to qol/grind etc.?

>>3791971
Not really honestly. They add some, they remove some.

>>3791786
They like to imagine Heaven, Earth, and Hell as different planes with their own "core".

The concept is mostly explored in the spin off title "Makai Kingdom", where an overlord destroys his own netherworld, puts his soul in a tome making it a new "core". Evidently a core can be anything.

This is also explore in Trinity Universe. A netherworld multiverse setting. But the terminology is slightly different. Instead of "Overlord" it's a "Demon God". Instead of a "core" it's a "Demon God Gem".

In Trillion, Trillion is the name of the God of Destruction. It consumed "Heaven's Core". But it didn't elaborate on what that is. Or what it means.

A "God of Destruction" appears in Disgaea 6, as well as the multiverse.

Idea Factory, NIS, and GUST collaborated a great deal in the PS2 era. So even GUST's Atelier games have touched on a multiverse concept. With their recurring Ghost character Pamela making a lot of appearances.

>>3791971
5 is probably the best Gameplaywise/

>>3792197
To be fair, the concept of dungeons as pocket dimensions formed around a "core" item was fairly ubiquitous and appeared in a lot of webcomics too.
It's obviously a gameplay convention.

D1&2 were on the PS2
3, 4 were on the PS3
5 was on the PS4
6 & 7 are on the PS5. But technically 6 was multiplatform. That's not mentioning the PSP ports and VN.

Personally it feels like NIS games were all PS2 and PS3 games. And they haven't done much for the last couple generations. But that just could be because this board rarely talks about anything current.

I've always wanted to try la pucelle tactics, but NIS games were hard to come by.

I just learned it got rereleased as La Pucelle: Ragnarok on the PSP back in 2009, then on PC in 2022.

I've literally never played a Disagea for the post-game grinding. I feel like I live in a completely different world when I see people talk about it being all the game is when I think the stories are very enjoyable (up to 4)

>>3792786
the story is like a 4 hour experience. the grind is the other 800hrs. When they're selling these 10-15 year old games like they're brand new at $60 -- what are you paying for, really?

Huge Higan tits

>>3792831
..the story is around 60 hours for each game, are you retarded?

>>3793970
You mean a playthrough is 60hrs. Which is pretty generous, since most RPGs are 40hrs. But turn based tactics games do take a lot more time to complete.

The story itself is like 5-6hrs of cutscene, which is comparable to a 12 episode anime. But less engaging.
It doesn't hold a candle to the cinematic Final Fantasy. Those are usually about 12hrs of cutscenes
