Re: Disgaea 7 Officially Announced For Switch, And Things Are Getting Bigger

@Pillowpants So the Disgaea series is a Strategy RPG in as close to the true sense of the word. Most SRPG's are more Tactical RPG's, more emphasis is placed on each encouter, positioning, ability, weaknessess, while Disgaea has these and you can play the vanilla story just fine like this the end-goal is becoming ungodly powerful to take on what most games would reserves as secret bosses, so the game actually becomes not just a grind, but how do I optimise (re. abuse) the games systems to grind faster, better, stronger. Each games has progressively made this grind easier and easier to do, whilst typically increasing the maximum "power level" you need to achieve. Disgaea 6 felt more like Factorio for 95% of it's playtime than FF-Tactics.
To off-set the numbers-heavy gameplay the story and characters are very anime-styled as you can see with a strong emphasis on humour and not taking itself seriously.
