🎮🤔 Hey #Gamers, have you ever played Disgaea?🌌 It’s hands down one of the best JRPG’s out there, yet it seems like no one is talking about it! 🤷♂️ And what about Hyperdimension Neptunia? 🌟 Both of these games deserve some love and attention, don’t you think?
I’m really curious about why these games fly under the radar compared to others in the genre. Maybe it’s because of the unique art style, quirky humor, or challenging gameplay? 🤔
So, what do you think? 💬 Are these underrated gems in the gaming world or am I just missing something? Let’s discuss! 💬🎮 #Disgaea #HyperdimensionNeptunia #JRPGs #GamingCommunity
Disgaea defenitley has some of the best turn based gameplay, and progression systems in jrpgs.
I played the crap out of the first one on the PSP. Good times!
thats cause its a turn based RPG/tactics game. Not much point in comparing it to final fantasies or tales games or what have you since its wholly different IMO. Its competitors are like fire emblem or divinity original sin.
Disgaea 4 is my jam.
The first one is really the only one that I have found that scratched the final fantasy tactics itch, and the jokes are great.
I’ve dabbled but never got into it. Can you recommend a game to start with ?
No one? I’m sure it’s very popular among fans of SRPGs. I agree about **Hyperdimension Neptunia** though.
Jrpg is already quite niche and then you throw in turn based which everyone seems to hate and sprinkle tactics. You just made your fanbase non existent
It’s the unfortunate “numbers porn” that has kept me away from Disgaea for decades. I love the ridiculous animations, the humor, the setting, but I utterly hate the numbers porn in the stats and damage department.
Disgaea is the only game I pre-order because I’m not skipping a Disgaea. 6 was pretty bad but 7 came back stronger than ever.
The only one I ever played was 2. I got decently far, but didn’t care for the judgements and item world systems – felt like enormous grinds where it was impossible to tell when you can/should stop. Got to a point where main story quests got too hard without investing substantially in those systems and just gave up.
I did that twice and haven’t tried the series since. It was a shame, because the job and advancement systems were right up my alley, the humour was fun, and the story was interesting enough.
Are there better games in series that don’t demand so much unfun, random grinding? Loved FFT, and even though a little grinding helped a lot, there was always a feeling like you didn’t have to. And even when you did, it was interesting and simple enough that it wasn’t exhausting.
The humor is something I would’ve enjoyed in the 3rd grade, maybe that’s why
The first one was a damn revelation, the first game I can remember playing where I woke up one Saturday morning in college and thought, “good, I don’t have to get out of bed yet… Wait I could keep playing!”
And while I’ve played and enjoyed all the others (haven’t checked out 7 yet), none of them have really done anything new or interesting with the formula, it’s just kind of this safe and comfortable “ah yes, this will satisfy my autistic desire to repetitively grind whilst making me chortle at some dry Japanese humor”
Fun, but I don’t think I’ll ever be hype about a new one coming out.
Not really a jrpg in the classic sense, but yep, it’s basically a arcade/over the top take of the “Tactics” formula. I played just a little of the original on my phone, emulating the PSP, looks cool, but I always got distracted by something else. I think you will like the PSP Tactics Ogre, this game hooked me
I bought 4 complete+ on a steam sale some time ago but was taken aback by its goofiness in the first hour. I reckon I’ll have to give it another chance soon.
Nippon Ichi Software as a whole feels slept on for a developer of some great JRPGS! Same with Nihon Falcom and Vanillaware in my opinion.
