History VisualNovel / DisgaeaInfinite

''Disgaea Infinite'' is a VisualNovel for the [[UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable PSP]], modeled after a 2008 Japan-only game called ''Infinite Loop: Kojou Ga Miseta Yume''[[labelnote:Translation]]''The Fortress that Gives Dreams''[[/labelnote]].

->''What happens to me if I...die?''\\

* BetterThanABareBulb
* BigBad: Mao (arguably).

* CannotSpitItOut: The main element of the Best Ending. [[spoiler:Etna actually goes out of her way just to fix this.]]

* CurseCutShort

* DamselInDistress: Flonne, PlayedForLaughs. At least, that's what [=TickTock=] calls her at one point. She really wants a DVD that Mao purposely failed to deliver to her and wants Laharl to help her. [[{{Jerkass}} Of course, it goes without saying that he doesn't give a shit.]]

* EventFlag

* GoldenEnding: It takes some maneuvering, but it's possible to reach an ending where Thursday gets his upgrade, Flonne gets to watch her movie, and Laharl to get his pudding fix[[note]]Because Etna gave him some cheap stuff instead of her special brand[[/note]].

-->'''Gordon:''' Evil spirits hiding within the flames...Taste my burning fist of justice! [[CallingYourAttacks Gordon Punch!]]
-->'''[=TickTock=]:''' Gordon used his super-strong punch on the fire.

* {{Narrator}}: [=TickTock=] regularly narrates, apologizing for her tendency to do so. "Jennifer initiated a sex-ed course!"

-->'''Etna:''' Assassinated? The hell are you talking about? You look healthy and, uh, alive.
-->'''Laharl:''' Of course I am! An assassination couldn't possibly be enough to kill me!

* BreakingTheFourthWall: Not only does [[TheNarrator [=TickTock=]]] refer to the Prinny as a game mechanic, but she even offers 'tutorials'.

* FateWorseThanDeath: The harshest of the [[OneHundredAndEight 108 punishments]] Laharl threatens to dish out is the dreaded "negative salary". Since Prinnies already work for peanuts, this effectively means that ''they'' will pay ''him'' for ''their'' labor.

* BigBad: Mao (arguably)

* DamselInDistress: Flonne, PlayedForLaughs. At least, that's what TickTock calls her at one point. She really wants a DVD that Mao purposely failed to deliver to her and wants Laharl to help her. [[{{Jerkass}} Of course, it goes without saying that he doesn't give a shit.]]

-->'''Gordon:''' Wh,What's wrong with you, boy? I could go to jail! Wait, no! I don't play for that team!

** Etna gets ''two'' when [[spoiler:Laharl blasts her with a flamethrower when he realises he's putting up posters.]]
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Subverted. Flonne wears her Angel Trainee costume from the first game here. Turns out that this is quite a plot point in one of the endings.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Etna's usually the one who pulls tricks on others and laughs about it. However, in the Disgaea 3 ending, [[spoiler: Mao traps Etna in his package and drools at the thought of what kinds of experiments he can do with her to see "how she ticks"]].

* RuleOfFunny: Almost every time someone gets mind controlled, a ''very'' bizarre sequence is shown in addition to the altered dialogue that no one seems to comment on. For instance, in one scene, for no apparent reason Flonne and Laharl both jump into two [[{{HumongousMecha}} Humongous Mechas]] and run into each other.

* ShoutOut: [[{{ShoutOut/Disgaea}} LOTS]]

* [[invoked]] TechnologyMarchesOn: [[spoiler: Unfortunately for Flonne, she tried to watch a Blu-Ray in a DVD player...]]

* TrailersAlwaysLie: The AttractMode [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIGPLIAMcKA trailer]] is a ''very'' loose recap of VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness.

* ViolationOfCommonSense: At one point, you can possess a Geo Symbol. Getting stuck in this form at the end of the first loop triggers [[spoiler:a bad ending where Etna destroys it out of frustration, trapping his soul in limbo]].
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: '''Captain Gordon, 37th Defender of Earth and Hero of Justice''' can handle demons, monsters and aliens with ease, but put him in the same room as a cockroach, and watch him [[FreakOut go spastic]].

** Also, in one of the endings [[spoiler:Flonne finally receives her Prism Rangers vs. Effort Ninja Gorillian DVD with Beryl even going out of her way to get the limited edition version with the soundtrack and figurine. Unfortunately, she's unaware of the fact that said DVD is actually a Blu-ray and all attempts to have it play in her DVD player are in vain.]] It got better with Thursday's help - the one time that his upgrade actually WORKS!

* ContinuityNod: Some of the endings will reference the cast's cameos in other games. If Laharl manages to eat the pudding, [[VideoGame/Disgaea2CursedMemories Etna will quit and go to another Netherworld to fight another Overlord]]. If Etna uses the strange bottle on Laharl, Flonne will drop it and it'll find itself in [[PhantomBrave another far off land.]]

* TheGlomp: Prinny can mind-control Laharl into doing this to [[MsFanservice Jennifer]]. She retaliates with a blow that has him PunchedAcrossTheRoom. Tick-Tock even uses the term 'Glomp!'
