History VideoGame / Disgaea5AllianceOfVengeance

** In previous games, Big Bang was often the only generic non-magic skill with a 3x3 AreaOfEffect and could only be used with a fist (Though swords would occasionally gain such a skill). This meant that for grinding Ordeal stages (Which almost always place enemies in a 3x3 pattern), unless the character had magic or a unique 3x3 skill, the character had to change their weapon to a fist, even if he or she is not proficient with them. This game bucks that trend by giving each weapon type a 3x3 AreaOfEffect skill, allowing characters to grind while still holding onto their WeaponOfChoice.

* ACupAngst: One of the Stage Clear screens has a Witch, Thief, Archer and [[DudeLooksLikeALady Clergy]] class characters ganging up on a Magic Knight and Armor knight in a game of pool chicken, The four flat chested classes looking either angry or pleased as they attack the two far more developed women.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: While the main cast is fairly small, Disgaea 5 is set up to allow for you to have a truly huge army of generic side characters you've created and several systems to put them to good use even if you don't bring them out to battle in every mission. "Research Missions" let your back-burners earn experience and capture prisoners while you're off doing other missions yourself, various squads provide useful benefits even if you're not bringing their members into battle, and so on. The game also allows you to create up to a dozen custom rosters just to keep track of all the demons you have at your disposal.

-> "...Huh!? I'm sorry. I was thinking about [[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife the effects that browsing TV Tropes Wiki has on productivity in the workplace and academia]], plip."

* {{Stripperiffic}}: [[WalkingShirtlessScene Killia]] and [[MsFanservice Seraphina]] wear very revealing outfits, as do a number of the generic hirelings, notably the Nine-Tails and the Succubus.

* NobleDemons: Pretty much the hat of demons as a whole. Their near universal culture, setting aside exceptions like Toto Bunny, is to loudly proclaim how evil and violent they are. They and others claim they only feel negative emotions and are incapable of love. However, not only do they love each other and their families just like any other person might, but they also pointedly ''balk'' at genuinely indefensible actions like attacking children, emotional torments of the types that Majorita puts people through and betrayal of strong bonds, such as those between family.

* {{DLC}}: In several ways and flavors, which may or may not have been influenced by a ''Famitsu'' poll that was be used to determine which characters would become DLC. And naturally, ''Complete'' includes all of it in the base game:

* SympathyForTheDevil: The entire main cast ''hates'' Marjorita, but even they feel bad for her after [[spoiler:Void Dark kills her and reanimates her corpse with her own Overload Skill that he stole from her. The heroes only deem it appropriate to put an end to her suffering.]]

* NonStandardGameOver: There are a total of five different times in the game where this can happen, titled "Humiliating Loss," [[spoiler:"Usalia's Death,"]] "Regrettable End," Successor Failure," and "Suicidal Decision":
** "Humiliating Loss" if you lose to [[spoiler:Red Magnus the first time you meet him. He runs off to face Void Dark on his own, but winds up missing, implying he either died to Void Dark or, knowing how Red Magnus is, he got lost trying to find him]].
** [[spoiler:"Usalia's Death"]] happens if you attack and [[spoiler:kill Usalia during your first encounter with her in her Cursed Berserker state. The spell she's under is lifted, but she dies in the process. Devastated that he couldn't save Usalia, Killia leaves the rebel army, and the rest of the army disbands soon after. And with nobody left to oppose him, Void Dark proceeds to conquer more and more Netherworlds]].

** TheLancer: Seraphina, the flighty, spoiled and selfish princess in contrast to Killia's stoic and humble wanderer. While the rebel army is based in her personal pocket Netherworld, she generally defers to Killia as a leader.
** TheBigGuy: Red Magnus, a large, [[BloodKnight battle-obsessed]] demon [[DumbMuscle who always thinks first and asks questions later]]. He is suggested to be the group's second strongest fighter after Killia, shares a [[FriendlyRival good-natured rivalry]] with him and possesses the power to grow his body to titanic proportions.

** TheSixthRanger: Zeroken, the hot-headed and brash young warrior who practices the same martial art as Killia. While he fights against the Lost from the beginning, he initially looks down on the rebel army as being a group of weaklings and refuses to join it until he is forced to after the enemy becomes too difficult for him to fight on his own. After joining the rebel army, he forms a close BashBrothers relationship with Killia and becomes an indespensable ally in defeating TheDragon.

* DiscOneNuke: ''Complete'' allows you to grab a vast chunk of the former DLC content at the very start of the game, which includes a starter pack of weapons that are marginally better than anything you can get from the first Netherworld, Girl Laharl, Nisa, Metallica, several Scenarios to unlock more characters, all of the Helper Prinnies[[note]]Who start at Level 1 in ''Complete''[[/note]] and ''1,000,000 HL''. The latter-most package allows you to dump HL on recruiting allies with a ton of bonus stats right away.

''Franchise/{{Disgaea}} 5: Alliance of Vengeance'' is the sixth game in the wacky TurnBasedStrategy series ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'', the work of Creator/NipponIchi. It is Nippon Ichi's first game for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation4.

** The martial arts style of Killia and Zeroken is translated as "Ultimate Demon Technique". While the first two words are more or less a direct translation ("Chou Ma", literally "Super Demon"), the use of the final word "Technique" is a strange one as the word used in Japanese, "Ryuu", is more commonly translated as "Style". Furthermore, "Technique" often implies a skill or ability, so it ends up sounding awkward and redundant when they yell the name of their style in conjunction with their Last or Ultimate skills.

** TheSmartGuy: Christo, the cold and calculating strategist who prefers fighting at a distance and supporting his allies over direct combat. His Overload allows him to [[EnemyScan scan the power levels and abilities of his opponents]] to assist in preparing counter-strategies again them. Notably, the rebel army only formally becomes an army once he joins it, as he is the only member of the party to possess the administrative competence needed to effectively organize one.

* BankRobbery: One of the Mystery Rooms in the Item World is a bank. If you talk to the teller, you'll take 5,000 HL from her. You can continue to talk to her to swipe more money from her, but every time, there's a random chance that she'll instead summon security guards. Security guards that, by the way, are more powerful than Proto Darkdeath if he were to appear at the floor you were at, and are guaranteed to have maxed-out stats (99,999,999) if it's a Carnage item. Hope that 1,000,000 HL was worth getting torn to shreds! And just to rub salt in the wound, the Skip Gate becomes no longer visible when this happens. [[spoilier:[[ExactWords Emphasis on "visible"]]. [[InterfaceScrew The Skip Gate is still there underneath Mil, just not the graphical assets for it]].]]
