The real moral of Disgaea was to not let your culture define you, and to not make snap judgments of others based on their culture.

Thats the one with the culture of mostly naked anime children right

Are we talking about the entire franchise or just disgaea 1, because if it gets worse past disgaea 1 then yeah I wouldn't know, but if it got worse in disgaea 1 then that's just my own faulty memory and my bad.

I can’t think of anyone as bad as Etna off the top of my head, but I’ve only seen a handful of games in the franchise. The cheesecake/beefcake seems relegated to actual adults in every other case.

You mean phantom brave? Yeah, phantom brave is very good, but also like the first quarter or fifth of the game is just very sad and it only gets sadder. It's just really frontloaded with lots of depressing poo poo and it can be hard to push through that because of how sad it is.

Only for Nintendo and hardware quality in general, there was a lot of good stuff on the PS3 and 360

I think I went through loving five 360s and they just kept sending me new ones. A few years back a lightning bolt hit my apartment building and set it on fire a little bit; it blew out my computer's graphics card (specifically, somehow), my tv's electronics, and shut my PS4 off, but it was otherwise undamaged. The turned off 360 melted and if you turned it back on belched smoke.

What the gently caress Microsoft.

After Disgaea 1, the series dialed back on the sexualized characters. People seem to remember Disgaea 1 the best, but the later games are way better. D5 is my favorite of the series by far for how easy it is to lose yourself in doing the 200 floor dungeons. Disgaea 4 is the worst of the series though cause the story levels turned into puzzles and they sucked and were ultra hard.

People remember 1 as the best because of the story, but yeah the gameplay has just gotten progressively better.

NIS used to have some good writers, Phantom Brave, Soul Nomad, and Z.H.P. had decent stories.

Always gonna laugh at Mastiff trying to piggyback off of Disgaea by localizing La Pucelle and then censoring the gently caress out of it to remove as many crosses and religious references as possible, and also removing a dude's cigarette but not the smoke from his cigarette

This is true. I don't remember the story for Disgaea 5 at all, other than the dialog cutscenes were massive text dumps that went on forever.

Not really, no, Etna's outfits get increasingly fanservicy, as do some classes, not to mention Laharl-chan or one of the spinoffs revolving around finding Etna's panties. And the bonus illustrations that came with japanese perorders or limited editions. The games that dial back are the non-Disgaea ones, Phantom Brave and Makai Kingdom.

laharl also runs around shirtless and in boyshorts for the entire first game but people tend to ignore these things for dudes, probably understandably

Soul Nomad getting a rerelease would be badass but at this point I think NIS is so poor that they can't justify releasing anything non-Disgaea because that's like their only profitable IP left
