"Disgaea RPG" Masterthread

Portraits, character sheets, and concept art of characters, variants, and various collabs, all compiled to the best of my ability.
I just noticed this.

I'm literally the 4th and currently fastest "ClaDun X3" platinum achiever in the West.

And with that, I've done it.

Every single NIS game, be it directly developed, co-developed, staff assisted, or a crossover. I've finished them all. At least, the ones that got brought over anyway.

And as far as I know, outside of tackling the JP exclusive releases, this might possibly be it sadly.

"ClaDun X3" (PS5)

In a surprise twist, I never thought I'd get the chance to play this given current circumstances. But I'm certainly glad I was able to.

It's a charming little game. Simple on the surface but very complex in a fun, if not slightly frustrating, way. It begs you to break it open.

Oh damn it. "ClaDun X3" is turning out to be just as much of an RNG nightmare as I was worried it'd be.

I just need this one stupid thing to dro...wait a minute.

Aahh!
Aaaahhhh!
AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

I have such a bad habit of overdoing things. I try to set limits but I end up disregarding them at the end anyway.

1 gift becomes 2 gifts, then 3 gifts, then 6.
A simple $20 present suddenly becomes $50, then a $100+ collector's piece.

It's almost a good thing I'm a loner cause I'd bankrupt myself

Sometimes I turn my brain off and browse randomly to see what weird game I chance upon that manages to catch my attention.

Well, found whatever this is. Looks like some sort of gothic lolita(?) DRPG. Seems interesting but it's not even out yet. I am liking the style of the map traversal though.

It's that time of the year again when Youtube starts recommending me "top x worst of 2025" videos. And every time, a bunch of stuff I enjoyed ends up in them without fail.

I'm so tired.

People not liking stuff I do is fine but it feels different when they go out of their way to shit all over them.

Amidst all this news of how so many devs are either interested in or already use AI to brainstorm ideas, I'm reminded of something that NIS does.

Once a year, they host something called a Dev Festival, where any employee, regardless of position, can pitch ideas. Whatever wins gets made into a game.

"A Wild Last Boss Appeared: Black-Winged Survivor" (PS5)

As expected, this was a low budget tie-in but, you know what, it was decently fun and an actual game.

Funnily, it released before the anime adaption aired. Good thing I was late to it cause it spoils the entire season in the first 5 minutes.

"Damnation" (PS3)

This is not a good game. Gameplay is janky, story and characters are prime Western 7th gen tryhard edgy/cool schlock, level design is poor and easy to get lost in, performance is horrible, bugs galore, etc.

But for what it was, I enjoyed it once I got into the groove of things.

Just finished a game so I was updating my profile on PSNProfiles but as I was doing so, I noticed something odd.

Why are the trophy lists for "Ariana and the Elder Codex" already live despite the fact that it doesn't even have an actual release date yet?

I guess someone at IFI jumped the gun...
December 13, 2025 at 10:20 PM
I had a momentary lapse in judgement and watched a Mother's Basement video. That was a mistake.

My hatred for the Western anime community simply cannot be understated.
December 13, 2025 at 1:52 PM
Just had the most random thought.

Now that the penny is being made nonexistent in the US, does that mean that "Penny Punching Princess" is now officially an outdated title?
December 12, 2025 at 10:18 PM
Normally, I don't bat for gacha games on principle but I think it's safe to say "Disgaea RPG" might be free-to-play friendly.

I'm in the process of testing to see how much effort it takes to raise a character to 9999...but the game already handed me two of them.

I still don't know what I'm doing.

Every time NIS announces anything, I'm hit with so much wonder about how'd it be or how'd I like it that I forget one key prospect.

It's NIS related so we have no idea if we'll ever get it. There's no point in gaining anticipation.

It keeps happening to me and I feel like going crazy.

I’ve come to learn that most people apparently really hate the PS5. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised but still.

Yet here I am generally having a good time on it and even got into uploading videos since it has built in recording/editing software.

I just always have to be the weird outcast I guess.

"Sackboy: A Big Adventure" (PS5)

This was a simple yet charming time. The humor was a bit hit-or-miss but it's just part of how playful and joyous the game is.

A shame this was ultimately the end of the entire franchise. But it was a good note to end on.

Kinda funny it has "Astrobot" DLC though.
