disgaea 5 | RPGSyapika

Hello everyone!

After delays over and over again, Disgaea 5 have finally made its way to PC and despite knowing that Gig from Soul Nomad won’t be in DLC (why are you doing this NIS?),

I did not cancelled my pre-order.

You can see my first 30 minutes impressions of it on youtube here,

Now, if you’re annoyed by commentaries and rambling in a video, then feel free to read this for the first impression.

Since Disgaea 5 is not a new game, as someone in the fanbase I already heard that it have a more serious and dark vibes compared to it’s predecessor.

I prefer dark comedy more than brooding emotional types of story. But well, I’ll take what I get.

When the introduction’s cutscene finished, you will be taken into what they called in game as Pocket Netherworld. This will be your base throughout the game.

The OST inside the base is what catches my attention first. It was pretty different than what I’m used to. In fact, I think using vocal soundtrack as the main base theme is pretty bizarre. But, I love it. I can’t talk music, but I love the base’s soundtrack so much. You guys should really check it out.

I can’t say the same for other OST though, maybe they’re the type of OST that warmed up to your ear after some time.

Plotwise, I haven’t gotten far yet, so I can’t say much. But to me, the comedy is there, but you can feel that it’s not the priority. Sometime it does felt like they’re pushing it too hard that it became cringe instead of funny. Well that’s Japanese slapstick for you I guess.

In terms of Battle System. They incorporated Magichange which is something I’m not familiar to, since I did not play Disgaea 3 or 4. It took me like 10 battles to actually try it myself, because there’s no tutorial about it. The tutorial comes after I click it.

Other than that, the skills animation are fluid and fancy. And also, quirky like most NIS games features. Most skills name seems to be recycled from their past games, except for the main characters’ skill. Which is something understandable, because their games takes place in the same universe.

Now that’s all for me. Thank you all for reading! 😀

Do I recommend this game? Yes.

Well, not yet.

It will officially be launched on October 2018.

But you can pre-ordered it now on Steam for the discount. 😀

I am a long time fans of Nippon Ichi Software (NIS) games. They are especially famous with their tactical based rpg with a witty plot. You cannot play their games without laughing like a crazed man at least once.

You just cannot.

I played most of their classics on PS2 including Soul Nomad, Phantom Brave and Makai Kingdom. Which, if you haven’t check them out, you have to!

Phantom Brave just got a PC edition too, along with Disgaea 1 and 2.

I didn’t managed to play the series pass Disgaea 2 because I don’t own a PS3, and my financial at that time doesn’t allow me to get one.

So the only thing I can do is you know, watch the gameplay on youtube, watch the walkthrough on youtube.

Wailed in absolute despair when I saw Gig from Soul Nomad was a DLC character that in a series I will never get to play anymore.

Yes I’m a sucker for Gig.

When I first saw Disgaea 1 and 2 get a PC version, I was totally shocked. In a good way. And I’m like how about the one on PS3? Aren’t they going to remake them for PC?

We need those. I need those.

And then they announced Disgaea 5 for PC, and I’m like wow this is really happening.

I can finally get to meet Gig now.

Jokes aside, I’m excited to play the games too, the visual look so beautiful, and even though I heard Disgaea 5 is not really as comedic as the other Disgaeas, I am still grateful that they make a PC version out of it.

And that’s all for now, stay tuned for more thoughts and rants about games!

I recommend Phantom Brave though because it’s a total classic, with a heart warming, fun story that sometimes will make you sweat through your eyes! !
