disgaea is like. my ultimate junk food series. it's a strategy RPG where you often times employ literally zero strategy, its convoluted and unbalanced as fuck on purpose, and prides itself on saying "you literally need to no-life this fucking game to get anywhere, fuck you and die". and i STILL eat this shit up, cause disgaea is fire as hell!!!
i was hurting BAD after disgaea 6 came out, bro. that shit was horrible, and seeing the massive improvements they've made over that grease fire makes me very happy. it's not just a return to baseline, though - there's plenty of funny new shit like hell mode, jumbofication, item reincarnation, and more that i just loved. i wasn't able to sink my teeth into every big gimmick mechanic since i've only thus far finished the main story, but i'll have more than enough time to grind for evilities and shit on my way to the platinum.
honestly, i wasn't expecting to like the story as much as i did! like disgaea has always had insanely funny dialogue, long-running bits and hilarious characters, but the story has always been like. alright this is cool but once i hit the post game i don't give a shit anymore. it might be because after the shitfest of 6's story and the lame-o slog that was 5's story, my expectations were pretty low. but it was a good time! there was more character development than i was expecting (other than higan sometimes idk why she was there), and fuji is a fire ass protagonist. it's not High Art, but i was pretty invested in what it was laying down for me!
it's not perfect, but most of my complaints are kinda stupid. i still am not a huge fan of the 3D models (personally, i still can't get over how beautiful 5's spritework is so that's probably why), the attack animations still feel a bit boring sometimes, and i still kinda miss magichange? i think my biggest complaint is that there's no fire ass music in the hub world that i'm gonna jam out to for 200 hours. like even 6 had a good hub theme come the fuck on.
i anticipate my opinions will change once i get that plat, but unlike 6 i'm actually excited to get started on it. pray for me fellas
