You like big numbers, don't you...

You like big numbers, don't you? Don't think I don't know that nothing gets you more excited than seeing numbers going up.

PANCAKES

Mesugaki website

Great game, too bad I don't have enough time to grind the shit out of it

character has perfect chest

fan artists ruin her with wrong sizes

off model

fans

I'd hesitate to use that word to describe them. Just because you draw a character at the behest of some internet request, and you draw the same face and body you put on every character you draw, with the only unique thing being the hair, that doesn't make you a fan of the character or franchise.

If you're just doing the main story, it really doesn't need much grinding. Some say it needs none but before going to the last stage I spent quite a bit of time getting Flonne up to par with Laharl and Etna. I was so mad.

There are people on Anon Babble that will look at this and say SEX

What number best represents Etna?

she's becoming a snake or something there

numbers going up

Yeah, like Etna's bust size

Do you think that's really possible?

I'd love to replay 4, but they stopped putting it on 70% sale on Steam this year for some reason, now it only goes down to 50%. Weird.

I should probably finish 7 though.

I literally never grinded in these games until 4. You can complete the main story with zero grind so long as you actually engage with the mechanics.

I've only played 1 and 2 so far. Which was the game that should be skipped, 5?

3 and 6 are considered the worst of the series I think

and DD2.

5 is great. 6 is dogshit.

i wouldnt skip any of them because the characters are always cute

I like seeing etna's numbers go up

commission more

spoiler

Flonne was my best healer and my best magic user. I had to grind just to make a replacement for her. FUCK

where does this artist even post anymore

exhentai.org/g/2555434/245ab0cf09/

Giving all of Etna's numbers to Laharl!

This is why generics are superior. They will always stay by your side once unlocked.

blows up all enemies from starting position

equips all your emblems because theres no other good int boosters

Generics have shit aptitudes and weapon masteries though unless you grind to unlock the higher-tier ones and transmigrate all your units to those and re-grind to get back the levels and weapon skills you lost.
It's easier to just use the main characters who guaranteed to have at least 90% aptitudes and an A in multiple weapon types.

Big numbers you say...

6 is the dud.

1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are all good, though some will say 3s story is annoying or 4s cast is dumb. But ultimately they're all good and build on the previous games gameplay.

6 goes 3D and it doesn't look particularly great, but the move to 3D heavily restricts unit building compared to previous games (as not all animations apply to all units anymore). As a result it feels like the first real step back the series has had.

7 takes what 6 did and improves on it, fixes a lot of the issues 6 had, but doesn't bring it quite back all the way.

IMO the sweetspot is 4. 4 and 5 have the best gameplay, 4 has by far the most content. I'm also a fan of 4s cast personally, too though.

Magic is just too good. A single mage can wreck everything in no time.
Get you a samurai since she gets 110 in attack aptitude and S rank in swords, axes, and spears, or a Mage as she doesn't even need to approach to kill, meaning all those weak HP and defenses mean nothing.

I love asagi

Is Phantom Brave any good Disgaea anons?

phantom brave is great, but makai kingdom is even better and genuinely one of their best games.

no of course not(yes, definitely)

What's your favourite generic?

I dunno about big numbers, bros. Anything above 10 is too much.

Disgaea's mix of melancholy and juvenile humour is it's charm. and Laharl's cute, scrawny, shirtless self of course

it's about the journey anyways

Magic Knight

majins where cool as the ultimate generic. I miss em

zombie maid

They grew on me a lot. A design I never appreciated in my teens that I truly get now

genuinely one of the coolest additions

Her original design is pretty cute too.

starting with disgaea 3 theyre a bit more generous to lower rank generics. the only time ive wanted more versatility in their weapon skills is kind of wanting to give an axe to valkyries, or miniguns and rocket launchers to archers in makai kingdom.
WHERE THE FUCK HAVE THEY BEEN

Princess, dood.

I need to get into this series but I always get overwhelmed by too much to do when I play them...

I'd love to replay 4, but they stopped putting it on 70% sale on Steam this year for some reason, now it only goes down to 50%. Weird.

If you "own" the vita version it runs in Vita3k pretty well.

I can't believe Corn is fucking DEAD

I was actually thinking of buying 1 after I beat Sea of Stars. Should I do it then or wait for the summer sale?

see this would be funny if she still had small tits despite all of that

Just take it easy, dood. They're not hard, merely ignore any of the extra systems you don't want to deal with. Only thing you need to do is play the story missions, recruit the generics you like, and occasionally be forced into the item world by the story. Do everything else if you ever feel like it.

supporting the embezzleist

I have autism

Is D7 fun and runs good on switch? Last one I played was 5 and I had fun

I like big numbers
but small chests

That includes the numbers on breasts and ass and number of child births.

It ran fine for me in performance mode. Story and the main game are good, some really challenging boss fights too, but the postgame is very lacking, and the item world is awful.

If you just want to go through the main story in most games, you shouldn't have to make use of all mechanics or grind too much. That stuff is only mandatory for the post-game content.
For Disgaea 1 though I would really recommend at least taking advantage of the mentor system to teach Flonne a few offensive spells. If you do that, she goes from a nigh-useless healer to an absurdly OP offensive mage.

It's only 20 USD but the summer sale isn't too far off so if you're really frugal you may as well just wait and maybe some other Disgaea games along with it.

This is a game series for autists

d7 is definitely better than d6 but not better than d5, i have no idea if it runs well on the switch

Then pick a unit you like and go full autist on them to make them the best they can be.

If you do that, she goes from a nigh-useless healer to an absurdly OP offensive mage.

This makes me want to replay 1.

but then the others wont be good enough

autism franchise

but I keep getting overwhelmed!

its not even close

I only found 1 and 2 to be the most enjoyable rides including post game. In the ones that came after by the time I got to post game stuff I just burned out. I have to give La Pucelle a proper try since I'm a pantyhose loving leg man and Prier's thunder thighs make me diamonds.

but there's too much

one thing i enjoyed from Disgaea 1 complete, is that they made it so you get XP from heals

You can get through the main story and much of the post-game content with just 1 absurdly overleveled unit, and in some ways this is easier than playing the game "normally" by equally leveling several units. In fact this is the kind of game series where you can make almost anything work if you're just willing to grind/exploit enough.

Who needs the others when you can just solo the game?

I love flat tits

that would ruin the fun

i wish they didnt shrink her chest.

smol tidy

technically you need units to throw you (or be thrown) to pass a good chunk of the levels

Her game got a recent port to the switch and I think PC, so its a good time to dive into her game and see what she was lie back then. Its a fun game that has different endings to most of the game's chapters, meaning your actions matter whether or not you see a happy outcome to some situations and get a nice prize in the end.

female samurai gets 50% more damage when fighting a single target

male ones get like 30% damage buff when face face to face with target

i like the flavor but male samurai's passive sucks ass because you do reduced damage when you hit someone in the face and not back or sides. you'd do more damage just attacking from the back with a default warrior

you just sound like a fag making shitty excuses for why he won't play the game at this point.
seriously man just play the game, it doesn't expect you to dive headfirst into all those mechanics at first anyways which is why the main story usually takes time to introduce you to the dark assembly or item world and even then you can easily beat the main story without doing those more than necessary.

That depends on the game and the character. you can go through 1 without being thrown with the only exception being the last CoO map, though you can always get the hyperdrive to bypass that. Every other game has a couple of maps that have need of a thrower, but most of the time, a good pair of shoes can get you where you need to go.

don't want to solo the game

"FAKE FAN!!!!!!!!!"

I haven't played the series enough to be a fan or not

"...s-shut up!!!!!!!"

tell someone to play a game on Anon Babble

they get assblasted

sasuga

you can go through 1 without being thrown with the only exception being the last CoO map

depends on how much item world gen hates you.

Item world tutorial run gave me a 1x1 exit tile that was 50du off the floor

I hate the item world

I have the game never played it
is it good? what am I in for

is it good?

Yes, but it's not for everyone

what am I in for

small chests and big numbers

what makes it not for everyone? tons of numbers?

I'll play it sometime. I just have a lot on my backlog.

they just gave male samurais unique evility to the lady samurai as a common evility in 5 too

Post-game is a shitton of grinding.

D1's potentially having an un-clearable floor was bullshit, but they've since over-corrected and now it just feels too safe.

is there something that makes it less tedious or boring? what about that inventory world mechanic?

It's a turn-based tactics RPG which is going to automatically filter some people. But past that it's kinda grindy and has a lot of different mechanics

I'll give you that, the item world can be cruel in the beginning. Its the main reason why in that sort of run, you really want to try and get your hands on some shoes. Spears skills can help too, letting you polevault up some cliffs or hop across islands.

made for BWC

is there something that makes it less tedious or boring

You don't understand, anon. The post-game IS a shitton of grinding. You need 'haha big numbers go up' autism to enjoy grinding for 200+ hours.

one last question, does it have cool weapons and character/monster designs?

that inventory world mechanic?

That is a large part of the post-game grind, you'll be going into the item world to get bonuses for your equipment that give XP gain.
People overstate the actual farming of enemies themselves for XP, it doesn't take that long if you use the right maps with the XP gain item residents.

hell yeah it does. lots of cute girl (and boy designs) but also sick ass monsters

I should try Dishaea because I like Fire Emblem and have a particularly crippling strain of autism.

yes. half the unit types are typed (monster) instead of humanoid. (and they kinda suck ass with each game giving them some new mechanic or function to try to buff them up to the humanoid levels)

*counters you*

sounds complex and I probably wouldn't get it fully until I play it
you know what I'll give it a shot, I got it as a gift anyway so I might as well

I love her so much. She even looks great in a swimsuit

I got into Fe played all the gba and ds games as well as the recent ones, and then got into disgaea because I had a vita and wanted to play more SRPGs. disgaea is definitely different from FE but I love them both for their different strengths

Play for Etna
Stay for Flonne

ENTER

*Asagi

*counters back*

I listen to the asagi vocal album every day

I don't expect it to be too similar to Fire Emblem or any of Kaga's other games, but I've always been interested. I'm not sure if Disgaea is harder or easier. I generally play Fire Emblem games on their hardest difficulties.

aaah dont put your leg over my shoulder haha nooo

just note that disgaea stops being about "tactics" after the main story (or even before that if you grind). its more of a game about using different systems to watch numbers go up, and abusing the mechanics

*counter-counters you*

Not gonna lie, growing up, I used to have a MASSIVE crush on Asagi. Even bought Prinny 1 and 2 with what little money I had just for the Asagi modes in both games. Fuck those games.

I'm not sure if Disgaea is harder or easier

generally easier, especially since story is juggernaut or bust. Disgaea is a numbers game first and a strategy game second.

why do they keep making desgia games? they're litterly all the same, dood.

I miss her already
also i know they had a falling out which is why she isnt in the games anymore, but why does D7 have no non-disgaea DLC party members?

I like flat women

What's there to do after the main story?

Oh so it's just like Fire Emblem, then. We're not playing the medium squad tactics games to use squads or tactics. We're playing them to assemble anime girl voltron.

What's there to do after the main story?

GRIND

Oh so it's just like Fire Emblem, then

no.

We're playing them to assemble anime girl voltron

Quite literally, since making your doods carry each other lets you perform multi-unit combo attacks.

Oh so it's just like Fire Emblem, then. We're not playing the medium squad tactics games to use squads or tactics. We're playing them to assemble anime girl voltron.

maybe awakening or some later title that lets you grind out of chapter battles. it is NOT like oldschool back to back chapters and tight xp windows fe.

sacred stones is a "later title"

is there something that makes it less tedious or boring?

optimizing your strats, later games introduce more ways to grind faster

Post your big numbers

You can cheese certain fights with geo stones or status effects, you can also stack monsters and capture them to get very high-level units much earlier than you would expect and just use that to carry you through the game

tower of valni is forbidden

can't even use the flashy gig skill because he just insta kills people with the initial sword slap

This is an old post-game save for the PSP version that I abandoned because I bought the PC version. Haven't quite yet gotten back to this point, and I know it's not real impressive compared to what is required to beat much of the later post-game content after the Cave of Ordeals

NIS Isn't doing as hot as it used to. And it makes sense: they've been backstabbed by everyone under the sun in their rush to appeal to the Modern Audience.
Console manufacturers
Their own localization company
Storefronts
They needed something that wouldn't result in tons of lawsuits from bitter faggots upset at traditional Japanese games and they needed it yesterday.

She was in the game long after the exodus of NIS employees, so I don't think the "falling out" was the reason they eventually stopped using her. Especially since they still actively referenced Neptunia in her dialogue (namedropping Gamindustri, namely).

I think they just eventually decided to focus exclusively on main series chars because there just ended up being too many important main series characters for them to include the weirdos like they used to.

A shame because I was really really hoping we'd get a Liar Princess unit that was designed around switching between being a Human and a Monster type unit. Though IIRC isn't she in Phantom Brave 2? I should get to playing that.

What's there to do after the main story?

do the side stories
grind item world, which levels up your weapons, subdue innocents, and steal high rarity weapons from item generals with the thief
max out item store
get to level 9999, reincarnate, then do it again
grind weapon mastery
grind skills/upgrade skills with mana
grind skills for other units so you can inherit them
mix and match evilities and increase stats in chara world
unlock cheat shop (its not actually cheating, its intended), and increase difficulty for better items/xp
bribe/kill the the demons so you can pass any bill
redo the mainstory over to see alternate endings for beating the stages were scripted for you to lose
ultimately kill max difficulty Baal

its nothing like fire emblem outside of being a tactics game. youre not really grinding to have an easier time beating the next stage, youre grinding because watching numbers go up and min-maxing is THE game. Think cookie clicker but for RPGs

I wish SN had bigger numbers

shame the postgame was so straight-forward. Hopefully D7C WHERE THE FUCK IS IT NISA fixed the stat imbalance and makes weapons worth a shit.

disgaea stops being about "tactics" after the main story

id really like them to figure out some proper strategy game dungeon generation for the item world.
theres enough systems to reward smart positioning but barely any chance to use them when youre just bum rushing stragglers and occasionally stealing their clothes and weapons.

first they'd have to unfuck damage calc so it's not just a game of rocket tag.

Flonne's ass

youtu.be/QcsyqC8AhQM?si=tOmvxlJCupE_mvXS this is why D3 is my favorite

that's not disgaea then

So you get some more free form grinding to assemble anime girl voltron, then. That's fine. I usually don't care for grinding in Fire Emblem because it breaks the difficulty curve, but, if the entire point of the game is to break the difficulty curve, I'm more sold on it.

yea, the game is built around you abusing the games mechanics and grinding. most of the games systems you will barely interact with till postgame and are solely there for you to grind

DOOD IMAGINE USING ETNA'S WASHING BOARD BODY AS A WATER SLIDE BY TURNING HER GIANT, WOULDN'T THAT JUST BE THE COOLEST THING DOOD

For me, it's Pleinair-San

plenair being harada's OC drawfu that NIS puts into the games is so sovlful

locked behind the $120 complete edition of D7

biggest sale was like 20% off

fuck off, nippon ichi

Fire, air, or ice?

Star
why did they make it a normal element in D5? it defeated the entire purpose. same thing with D6 letting monsters use human weapons, its just making everything feel the same

How big do you make your Prinny's numbers?

I train kurtis exclusively

I like to go with ice since spears get a fire and wind skill.

shota

i like when small numbers go up, what are you gonna do about it? i still need to play this game.

Sex with the Succ!

this is an insanely pleasing art style do you know that artist for it?

sookmo on gelbooru/danbooru, sir nonny.

arigato gaverymuchu

despite all my rage I'm still just a RAT IN A CAGEEEEE Having the player be a book that can say yes,no and stay silent to give the illusion that we have any fucking control on the proceeding of events is so devious

I was going to play it this summer anyways, but how is Phantom Brave on the autistic systems and big numbers?

Speaking of, it's a shame we never got a Fate / Disgaea collab character with Beni-Enma from FGO. She would genuinely fit in perfectly with Disgaea, both in concept and design.

Pretty big too, though in that game what you do I fuse items together to make a super weapon with enough speed to never give your opponent a turn to attack on top of making it hit like a truck.

pc version not compatible with win7

so do I go with the ps2 or psp version then? I am not getting a fucking switch.

PSP version has some updated mechanics that make the game better on top of adding a new story mode, but from what I hear that version only has the main game's story translated into english. Maybe things have changed since then, so you may want to look into that.

will do, thanks anon

I like how NIS just made not-wolfwood

you posted her

This design is cool. I wanted to play the new ones but I lost my D3 save and don't want to skip games.

go play d5 right now

go replay D3 right now

Mesugaki world.

play both d3 and d5 at the same time on seperate monitors

Its so blatant but he and Wolfwood are cool, so nobody minds.

Bet you wish you were this chad instead!

I'm all of them anon
But having arms sure is helpful

artist?

if you look closely, you can see the initials A.I

Damn, that's some genuinely good AI then

she's getting an alt...any day now...

tarryon
(yes its ai)

thief

panties

must be another one of those ai errors.

If you have any proof that she doesn't wear panties I would like to see it.

This is some pretty consistent AI
Wish I could generate stuff like this

Claiming Ceefore as my wife.

sexo design wasted on a nothingburger of a character.

ai has been a godsend for characters that dont get much fanart

AI has its place,no doubt, but personally I perfer human made art.

My main issue with AI is just the sheer amount of slop that ends up online, I wish people were more selective instead of just dumping 200 pics where 199 are shit and 1 is okay but the foot has 6 toes.

But as anon said, it is a godsend for minor characters

Don't be fag. Her angel story was fine. All the D7 characters are great and their dysfunctional family dynamic grow on you after a while.

Sexy beam

Me neither. I finished the campaign and got the true ending, but I just can't grind for post game. It's too much!

Damn I just realized I want to fuck Etna.

Honestly anon, it's perfectly possible to do story and all of postgame in 30 hours or so.

she had barerly anything to do till the very end where the recolored generic angel is her pal and stuff. most of the time she ends up just backing whatever piriko is doing, be it gushing over merchandise or pushing fuji to act better

Funny story: I fought Lamington in D1, after my entire party was killed, with only Laharl left, and he had less than 1000 hp. I did a normal attack and forgot that Lamington had counter, and he almost kills Laharl. Luckily, Laharl's counter-counter killed the archangel prick on the spot and winning me the match.

30 hours

3 hours if you're a real freak.
youtu.be/7BOTrtJoHdY

true, i wish there wasn't so much zero effort slop. people just dump their gens without even quality checking them or doing any edits/touchups and it shows. its the same with any medium. the lazy people give the ones who actually try a bad name.

dont let this distract you from the fact that i need a majorita gf

Mage sex

Shiet. My DS is across the country in my parent's house and so is my Disgaea cartridge. Oh well...
Nooooooooo, she's just a little girl uwu

What the fuck

I fucking love big number

Fumika's game is pretty peak
