yay! number porn!

Oh fuck yes

Edit: Wait nevermind, its only on Switch

I skipped 6 but maybe I will give this a try

I keep trying to get into 6 and it's just not doing it for me. I may retire from playing the rest of the series

Looks like a Disgaea game.

It won't stay that way.

I was waiting on a US release date announcement because I originally wanted to get the Japanese version, but Fall is so far. I guess I'll be getting it today. I've been playing the demo and it's much better than 6 so far.

I feel like they have made the exact same game 7 times now idk

It's Disgaea. That's what Disgaea does.

Odds are it'll be like 6 and release on PC and ps5 later on.

Isnt this the game where you need to grind things to level 1000 to beat the game? Fuck that noise.

The numbers are kind of irrelevant. You can go up hundreds to thousands of levels at once. Like in 6 I'm hitting for half a million by mission 2

There is supposed to be a ps5 version as well. Hopefully they arent being stubborn again.

No thanks, 6 was awful

Then youve never played a Disgaea game before.

I may grap it at launch but it'll depend on the cost. Anything near $70 is a hard no.

Protagonist looks lame

I bought 5 or 6 a while ago and played about an hour and realized I just can't do it

I hated everything about six from pretty much its original announcement, so I'll be very curious to see whether seven backtracks on a lot of the changes they opted for or whether it doubles down on them. If it's anything like six, the franchise will continue to be dead to me, but if it goes back to how things were from one to five then I'll probably give it a chance.

Nah, pretty much every disgaea can be beaten with characters around level 60. It's just that it has an insane amount of post game content with super bosses that do require that kind of grinding, but it's really only if you want the challenge.

Edit: also, the raw numbers are a little bit misleading because by the time you're ready to take on those late game super bosses, you'll have unlocked the ability to literally gain hundreds of levels in a single round. A giant misunderstanding around the disgaea franchise is that having a large number of levels means that it gets harder to level up as you go up and it's actually the opposite.

I mean I played the first 3, first one I spent a few hundred hours on completing everything including Prinny Baal. After that 2 and 3 just felt like the same game and I only completed 2's main story and maybe only played 10 hours or so of 3 before stopping.

If later games do a lot more than I could be interested in checking them out but this trailer doesn't really do anything to stand out

Generally the biggest additions are quality of life improvements. So like... in 4 they added the ability that you don't have to undo a move to move somewhere else - you can move freely within the range from your starting point until you act. It makes stacking units for an AOE buff far less of a chore.

Similarly, they added a "cheat shop" where you can do things like adjust enemy difficulty between stages without having to pass a bill, another QoL improvement. They also added the ability for monsters to be equipped as weapons which unlocks new special moves and both the monster and the character get the XP for a kill which is nice for grinding. They also added tower attacks at some point, or at least added unlockable special moves for them depending on the tower size.

You're not wrong that the fundamental structure of the game hasn't changed much, but that'd sort of be like wondering why Street Fighter 6 is still a 1v1 fighter with special moves and an arcade mode where you fight through a bunch of enemies and then a boss.

It came out in japan a couple days ago, I suppose it's too optimistic of a question to ask whether anyone here knows if it's closer to 5 or 6 in terms of gameplay and features in the game?

I've been playing the demo and will be getting the game later today and following people playing it. It's more like 5 running on 6's 3D engine. Lots of things are back and the inflated numbers are gone. Autoplay is not immediately available and has a limit now.
