So far the critic reviews are averaging at 8.3. Thats Dosgaea 5 levels.
Mighty No. 51345
Yeah, its good. Its hard to judge it against 5. I'm biased towards the HD sprites and I enjoyed features like magichange.
However, 7 basically only took the good features from 6 and took everything else back to how the pre-6 games were. So I can't fault it there.
Itd be a 10/10 if it had Zetta and Gig.

Looks like mid tier gaacha pulls are rank 11.
Dang NIS. Chapter 6 is savage in its Take That! against scalpers.
This probably in response to their behaviour during the PS 5 launch. 6’s script likely being already complete when it happend, thus NIS decided to save that incident for future material.

I'm up to the scalping chapter now. I really miss magichange. Higan would work so much better with it. As it is, I have to remember to always carry a sword for her to swap to.

Usalia’s got a game breaking Infernal Treasure ability…:maxing out every one elses Hell Gauge.
The activation condition encourages you to play her as a tank.
Okay so after playing Disgaea 7 I gotta ask should we cut out some stuff from Pirilikas entry.
I'm talking about How Pirilika wants to kill her mother, Canonline. Everything I've seen in the game shows that she doesn't want to kill either her mother or her father, Demmodore Opener. She wants to know why they are acting so strange and if she can convince them to stop. The whole she wants to kill Canonline feels needlessly edgy.
Just go ahead and do it if you see any inaccuracies like that. If it ever turns out you're wrong, someone will Well Ackshully you by PM, by reverting your edit or asking you to go to the discussion page.

Was it in the Japanese version?
I don't believe so unless the Global version was taking some massive liberties when translating the game. The game even has a scene where Pirilika says she could never kill Canonline.
Unless that was added specifically for the global release, which it doesn't seem like it was.
Chapter 6….its obvious that scalpers must have REALLY pissed off either a higher up at the company or a higher up on the dev team for the commentary to get THAT vicious.
Namely the PS 5 Launch Incident.
I actually wanted to be Resileaf
Nobody likes scalpers. They are a plague upon the world.
Sicily got nerfed. -25% to Lil Sis Aura.”
Which means that she is no longer unambiguously the best tank in the game.
Assuming innocents that raise elemental resistances to max (do we even have star damage resistance innocents).
Fire, Wind, and Ice: Sicily, by only 10%
Star: Assuming no star res innocents, should be a tie or neglible difference.
Non Elemental: Usalia by 40%.
Bolstering other people’s tankiness: Usalia by 40%.
Ability to fight back (ie join in the punish phase of “block and punish”): Usalia Strong personality replaces Precious people plus her Hell Mode is REALLY good at boosting the punish phase, plus rewards for playing the way she is supposed to be played (tanking).
Main Character
Per Gematsu, NIS accidentally leaked existence of a new strategy game reveal on the 20th.
Seems to be related to constellations and cards.
low-poly Shinri
Nippon Ichi Unveils Bar Stella Abyss Roguelike Tactical RPG for PS4, PS5, Switch.
This is the constellation themed game mentioned.
Got some play time with Usalia.
1. So far does not have Precious People. Using Strong Personality from Laharl is essentially 1.5 stacks of Precious People for only 2 common evility points.
2. Very much a build around character. That being said, your innate cast actually provides 2 excellent Usalia buddies. Yeyasu and Suisen. Give them both Tactical Guidance and Usalia gets 2 stacks of Precious people at the cost of 2 common evility points per person, for characters you already want to give Tactical Guidance to anyway. Suisen giving 100% hit AND auto crit makes those Precious People stacks brutal.
3. Medals (INT Monster Weapons) are more usual for Usalia’s game plan of tankiness.
4. Usalia’s Hell Mode enables absolutely VICIOUS swing turns….and only requires her to be hit 3 times to fully charge up. Given the ridiculous damage reduction shenanigans she’s capable of, this condition is not hard to achieve.
5. You want Usalia in Jumbifiers. She has one of the better Jumbilities in the game which comboed with Shogun’s Orders generates a total 70% stat boost without Jumbifiers.

So I've got the Prinny Collections Vol 3 (mostly to play Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure) but I also tried out La Pucelle. However, I haven't been able to get to the next area, Mont Blanc Castle. Any tips I should do?
She/Her | Currently cleaning Char Clone
the Quantum Mechanic
When playing Rhapsody, wait about 30 secs on the title screen, there's an exclusive song most people seem to miss.
"No will to break."
It's been a while since I played, but I remember it unlocking right after the first mission.
Add Pirilika to the list of good Usalia buddies (along with Yeyasu and Suisen.
Healing aura based on max HP….on a character who can be deceptively durable if you get enough cash.
low-poly Shinri
(x4) Bumping my La Pucelle question.
low-poly Shinri
So I'm Marl Kingdom Chronicles and honestly, playing that game and the first Rhapsody. Here's some major difference I noticed:
- Instead of a strategy grid, you instead have a standard turn based affair in battles. Which character gets first is somewhat randomized. The difficulty is slightly ramped up as you need to think through your moves since some attacks cost HP.
- No dubbed songs this time around. It is understandable though (IIRC on this thread or another one, voice dubbing and song dubbing require different studios to work with).
- There's is more variety with the backgrounds. The old game reuses them an embarrassing amount so I'm glad to see more variety this time around.
Like reflections in the glass!
Bought Disgaea 7 and the complete edition to that. some initial thoughts (spoilers)
- First I already spoiled myself as per usual so some character thoughts
- Prilika seems to be the most Blatant expy of Flonne I've ever seen. Not that its a bad thing mind, just an observation. I also suspect that she is American-coded for certain reasons that may or may not involve the color scheme of her seifuku-inspired dress
- Fuji is certainly an interesting take on the usual Jerk with a Heart of Gold archetype. Largey because of backstory.
- Yeyasu...I have mixed feelings on him, he seems too closed to incel for my liking and is only held back by his more noble traits.
- As for Suisen, I noticed that he occupies a similar nice to Christo and wonder if 6 had a charterer like that as well. The idea of a mindHive Livign Weapon is also somewhat novel here, thought that isn't not quite unique to him.
- Ceefore...the name and weapon otaku personality already has me wondering how well she'd get along with W or any of the Saknta but that's a tangent for another day. Overall she's my top pick besides Ao for who would join the leading duo in the DL Cs table of future games.
- Speaking of which, Ao is...actually annoying in how she's a post game character. Granted that is prolly due to her antagonistic status, but still.
- Last but not least is Higan. No strong opinion on her. Having "will literally eat you out of house and home" as a quirk is a choice. Overall she seems liek a good charterer with decent dept as the eldest of the bunch as well as Fuji's mentor
- I'm saving antag thoughts for alter as I want to folderize them so my focus will shift on other aspect. I bought the complete editing which including all the DLC. Including the special costumes. that mean I suddenly had several classes very early including the Mecha Girl. Its not quite Disk One Nuke tier (as it stands she is the cloelst thing to the Sage) but it is rather funny. Now can we rename these guys? Also Makes sense to have the Nekomata and Succubus designs with bobs.
- again already spoiled myself so I'm gonna try to rush through the game and Going with Ars goetia theme for the generics names.
Like reflections in the glass!
okay I got the core six to the 900s (again since Ao is a post game character, so she'll have to be saved for alter)
as for my thoughts ont he antagonists...
- Opener is intriguing for a bait and switch. He isn't the Big Bad but he was controlled by him and forced to act against his will. As for the Wahei connection It is rather obvious that he is based on commodore "open the country, stop having it be closed." Perry. That means there is some foreshadowing here regridng his and Pirilika's relationship.
- For Cannon Line, well I'm planning on getting Virtuosa soon, so I might as well get used to alleged Karma houdinis who are kept becuase their skills are necessary for a vital goal. FWIW in Cannon's case that is more for undoing her own mess and there were are extrenuraitng circumstances here (read: Empathy Killer) that I assume isn't the case for the Arknights charterer in question. (also she isn't playable)
- Nitra is interesting as a foil to C4 here. A thanatophobic angel who wants to become a living weapon because of the immortality. as an aside, I find it strange that Male Angels were left out of this game while many distaff/spear counterparts from prior games get to return.
- For the real villain we have Fuji's father. A real piece of work to be frank. Rather abusive and i don't think his sob story of (wife died) cut it when his respoce is to not only become a sociopath but also force it onto others including his own kid. That he was doing this to repel the Carnage dimension inhabitants also doesn't change things to be honest.
With that aside. I have a few questions
- Is it just me or is the Item World a rougelike mode? I just realized this recently
- Can anyone give their opinions on the recent compilations NIS released.
- Is there any chance of Disgaes 3/D2 remakes right now. I'd think the pulling of generics form the former helps its chances now.
I doubt Cannonline truly counts as a Karma Houdini for the following reasons:
The moment she broke free of Empathy Killer via reincarnation, she WANTED to fix the havoc she caused. The evil she did was under questionable moral agency ie Empathy Killer.
Mugai may actually have some serious Fridge Brilliance to him
As an allegory for Imperial Japan ie WW 2 era…and the people responsible for turning Japan into a cruel militaristic society.
Making Nippon Ichi IIRC one of the first Japanese devs to openly call out the awful shit Japan did in WW 2.
Gacha inflates your item pool and HL, for sure. Id argue the game was keeping you unusually poor up to that point, though.
The game is really holding back on unlocking the Item World. Grinding is a real pain without it.
