This series bears little to no resemblance to FFT in any part. Examples for that go on troper tales anyway.

* BreakoutCharacter [=/=] SpotlightStealingSquad: Etna, who's gotten more and more focus over the years, being made into a main character in ''Disgaea 2'', featured predominantly in spinoff titles such as CrossEdge, PrinnyCanIReallyBeTheHero and it's sequel, and [[Game/TrinityUniverse Trinity Universe]], and Etna Mode (which is essentially a "What if [[DemotedToExtra Laharl had never reawakened]]") in the updated re-release of the first Disgaea.
** However, with Disgaea 3's Raspberyl Mode and Disgaea 4, it appears that Etna has been ditched in favor of Flonne, [[spoiler: especially considering that's she's an Archangel now.]]

Perhaps the easiest way to to farm for items in the item worlds, which can power level your equipment and your characters, and gives you the mana to try even more fun bills... wait, what am I forgetting? Oh, right, the ''plot''...

** Plenair doesn't have a large fanbase outside Japan however, everywhere else that spot goes to CAPTAIN GORDON, DEFENDER OF EARTH! [[EagleLand beacuse he's such an over the top parody of the usual western superhero.]] American audiences can't get enough of him, this likely baffles the Japanese as much as their love of Plenair baffles us, as his fandom in Japan is not large AT ALL.

** Also [[FunWithAcronyms SoB!Priere]]



** Pleinair is very broken in both the first game and the third game. Given the long mission you have to do to get her in the third game, she's worth the trouble.
*** In the UpdatedRerelease of the second game, [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Plenair]] is a free {{DLC}} character. She starts at level 100, is available at the very beginning of the game, and joins without a fight. So long, any challenge for 90% of the main story...

* HilariousInHindsight: All the Prism Rangers battles become outright hilarious when you realize that in each game, they've been fighting a former ''MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' cast member. In the first game, as noted above, they fight Rita Repulsa in order to claim the throne. In the second game, they fight [[WendeeLee Scorpina]] in a tournament in order to face Overlord Zenon. Then in the third game, Prism Red comes face to face with the [[JohnnyYongBosch former Black Ranger]].
