Yeah we'll probably see a complete version for Disgaea 6 on both Switch and PS platforms later on.

Nah, I doubt a moneyhat. These niche JRPG games simply sell like ass on PlayStation nowadays.
Remember when NISA said that Sony wasn't supportive of small studios, then Sony made them apologize

NIS America apologizes for saying ‘Sony is not friendly with small publishers’

https://gematsu.com/2018/04/nis-america-apologizes-for-saying-sony-is-not-friendly-with-small-publishers

It's probably because it's not selling as much, but I don't doubt it'll land on PS5 someday.

lmao @ the moneyhat nonsense. Come back with some receipts

I'm not sure Disgaea is for me, but I'll give 6 a try. I love the type of game it is, story and characters just haven't clicked with me

I think the combo of 'pastel'/softer palette and the 3d models being kinda chibi doesn't really do it any favors for a first showing of a transition to 3d.

Also, kinda surprised it's solo Switch (at least at first), but if D5 really sold that well, I suppose I'm not surprised.

Curious on what type of battle system (skill levels versus weapon rank vs something new) we'll end up getting.

What?! Exclusive?! I guess this is what happens after Sony "threatened" NIS for making that comment about Sony not supporting smaller devs compared to Nintendo. They got fed up being treated like second-class citizens on PS. Seriously, holy crap. The direct is so good.

Yeah, this isn't a Nintendo moneyhat. This is a result of Sony neglecting small Japanese publishers who have been loyal for 20+ years.

I want more spin off titles from NIS. =/

This looks like typical Disgaea, of course, but Makai Kingdom/Phantom Brave/Soul Nomad were all really good

I can sorta understand the exclusivity right now. NIS aren't the biggest company financially and Sony are losing way too much foothold in Japan. Gotta go with the platform that's been raking in the money for the time being.

Surprised it's exclusive

Also surprised at the move to 3D.... ehh it doesn't look great but I'll probably get used to it.

I never finish Disgaea games anymore but I'll still be there Day 1 lol

You're a sales regular, you should know lol

Good sales for NIS on switch so fat, Sony not treating them too nicely and I doubt NIS are buying a PS5 devkit yet and PS4 will be dead in japan when this comes out.
yeah but the series has a PS fanbase outside of japan, and they didn't have to make a next gen version. oh well.

Iirc, Nintendo made them a deal not to release the PS4 version of SNK Heroines physically, so there's precedent with them and NISA.

Yeah, I think the chibi-ish look for some characters is what's throwing me off. If the MC was taller like his art, he'd look way better.

Wouldn't be surprised if this version is exclusive, and a later "complete" edition comes to switch 2 and ps5

I'm sure this will end up on PS5 at some point; just feel there is to much history there with previous games and a lot of money to leave on the table.

The models look pretty good to me. This'll be my first Disgaea since the original.

The trailer started and I thought "man, these 3D models are ugly," and then it started showing characters that aren't the main guy. Turns out it's just him I hate. But Laharl and Flonne and the generic class models all looked charming and cute and I was pleasantly surprised.

If I recall correctly, Sony made a mandate that any PS4 games certified after July would have to guarantee forward compatibility with PS5. Assuming NIS don't have any PS5 dev kits, well, they can't really do that.

3D models look gross, but I hope it grows on me.

Switch exclusive? Thats a first

Hoping for a cast as good as 4's and gameplay as good as 5's

I'm stoked. 3d models looked bad up close, but since 95% of my time is not looking at anything up close I'm fine with that.

Only one instance of boob physics. I'm glad they've seemingly toned that down a little. I realize we're in the Netherworld and all, but the Otaku-baiting trend is well and truly mostly behind us. Games are for everyone, Japan!

Not super excited about the exclusivity, but I'm glad the series still exists at least.

I wonder if a late PC port is still in the cards.

I'll miss the HD sprites. Harada is like half the reason I like Disgaea (Sato is the other half), and 3D just isn't the same.

But at each entry I do less in the endgame, and now they raised the level and stat cap lol. I'll get it eventually because the series still have a special place in my heart, but there's no hype here.

Very shocked they are doing 3D but still excited. I have Disgaea 1,4, and 5 on Switch and haven't beaten any of them lol.

As everyone else I'm rather surprised by the switch to 3D models. I wonder how they want to match the insane number of content and animations that the predecessors had that way?

Looking forward to buying this and then never coming close to finishing it, just like I've done with literally every other numbered Disgaea game.

I still love them though.

I see NIS isn't doing anything to slow down the bleeding. Unless there's a Nintendo moneyhat here exclusivity isn't going to save them.

Later PC port is guaranteed. That's just added value later on and even if it is a moneyhat(it's not) Nintendo won't stop a PC port six months later.

I've played and enjoyed all 5 mainline titles but I have to say, these new protag designs are probably the worst of the bunch. I'm also skeptical about the 3D graphics as their past forays have been of questionable quality. Gonna have to see more before though.

Really enjoyed 5 so I'm excited for this. I think the 3d models look great, and they will be a nice change from the exact same 2d sprites they seem to have been using forever.

Also stoked about this from the disgaea.us/d6 website:

"Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny unites a grim yet touching story with insane tactical combat, while introducing gameplay elements never before seen in previous installments. As a result, new and returning players alike can craft a truly memorable and unique journey through the Netherworlds. Bring the pain in battle with special attacks and support from a plethora of ally units. Customizable settings such as Auto, Retry, and Replay allow both hardcore and casual players to fight their own way. And should things take a terrible turn, use Super Reincarnation to rejoin the fight and keep trying until you succeed. This truly is a Netherworld fit for everyone!"

FINALLY an auto battle setting! Should be mandatory in every SRPG.

There is also a $99 Collector's Edition

Don't mind the 3d models, actually think it suits the style very well.

Main character tho? Looks awful.

I wonder what Auto item and chara world runs would be like.

I can get used to the 3D models, and maybe even grow to prefer them, but ew at being an exclusive. Think I'll wait and see if it's truly exclusive, don't want to fall into the double dip trap.
