The game had a couple known bugs earlier in the Japanese version that were patched. One was a crash from a missing english voice file so you had to play with JP voices, another was a crash when it tried to load a certain music track in the item world, you had to set it to a different track to work around it.
I think it was drawn at 720p, so yeah, handheld mode looks great as it's native res.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
They actually improved the sprites slightly compared to the ps4 version despite them not updating the dock
I managed to kill him pretty easy with my buffed Sage using Tera Star+afternoon tea.
He had a tiny bit of health left before the final tera star so I think I can manage to team attack him to finish him off which shouldn't be too bad.
Edit: Just gave my Sage the Chopstick Gun as her sub weapon, always leaving Carnage Dark at 1HP to get finished off. Nice and easy.

Got it! Haven't played one of these since the original (on the Nintendo DS, seriously)
Excited to dive back in

It's silly but I really appreciate them finding a way to incorporate the PS4 trophies in to the game.

Switch games must be selling ridiculously well. Amazon couldn't ship my Disgaea because it was temporarily out of stock even though I preordered and Ultra Street Fighter isn't even available anymore to order.
Ended up picking this up at GameStop because I didn't wanna wait

I had preordered from Amazon quite a while ago, but they never shipped my copy. Best Buy to the rescue!
I'm pretty excited to jump in, I haven't really gotten into a Disgaea since the PSP ports of 1 & 2.

They told me since it didn't have a Guaranteed date I was SOL.
Yeah, in the process of that now but I'm assuming the lack of a specific date at the time of ordering will nix that. They've managed to mess up basically every preorder I've done this year. It's been a mess and/or shipping in Texas has hit an all new low.
...
Now the debate of buying it digitally anyway.
This is kind of what I figured would happen. I don't think it had a proper date at any point, though? I believe it went from stating 5/31 to ???. It even had a Wii U designation one day. Which, in hindsight, may have said all that I needed to know about the situation.Damn. That sucks. Amazon slipping lately.
Are you a prime member? Because it did have a guaranteed date as of a week or 2 ago.

Mine said Guaranteed Delivery and then yesterday switched back to We'll email you so who knows. I think they over sold by quite a bit

Playing through this right now, fucking loving it.
I haven't played Disgaea in a few years, I think maybe the last one I played was 4.
Actually, looking at boxart, I've actually played every single main iteration of the series.
I love it <3

DLC characters are level 1000+ and you have to beat them to get them to join your team so it's impossible to get them from the beginning (unless they changed it in the Switch version).
Seems that way, because there's an NPC at the very start of the game who lets you put characters like Girl Laharl and Nisa in your team. Then, once you do the first tutorial battle and unlock the recruiter, it opens up the DLC classes like Sorcerer.
Edit: Some of the things the NPC lets you unlock appear to be battles, so I guess at least some of the DLC characters must be fought first.

The first DLC I downloaded was the D1 pack cause I wanted Laharl and Flonne. It was definitely must lower than that, in terms of level.
Currently, my Flonne is level 191 and I went back into the DLC just to compare, and the Flonne you fight is level 97.
Their level scales with whatever level you are, I believe, but it looks like they have at least half of what my level is.
Just now, I downloaded the Priere DLC, and she's level 90 and I'm like 180.

I did the Laharl quests before I even did the second Main Quest and I managed to get through it.
I'm pretty sure all the DLC characters are pretty low level =o

Everyone talks about how Amazon has gotten really bad with pre-orders recently and I'm all like "sucks to be you guys, my games always show up on release day!"
...and then my Disgaea 5 Complete delivery gets delayed until tomorrow.
Yay!

So I started my game during lunch and wow, they throw a lot of shit at you right at the beginning like Female Laharl and a 100K HP Prinny! And also a fuckton of quests! :lol
(Edit: Yeah and 1M HL like the post below says!!!)
Feels like I'm cheating right at the beginning!
I think I'll just play the main quest to begin.

Oh right I'm remembering why I like the writing in Disgaea, because the whole "demons" thing means that the main cast doesn't do any brooding or moping and just knows they're badasses who deserve to win
Holy crap, just saw your reply. Thanks for the added details. I'm super pumped to put in more hours, and now that I know I'm supposed to "break" the game, I think I understand it just a bit more, even if it's still super weird.

I haven't played Disgaea since Disgaea 4, which was released in 2011. It's wonderful to turn on the new game and realize that all the jokes are there. Not the same ones, but news ones that are just as funny.
lol

Am I like, the only one who still walks to the stores and buy it on the release day?
I just walked to gamestop and bought my pre order.

I think that's part of the reason why I've always liked the Disgaea series. It generally doesn't take itself seriously, even if the main campaigns all eventually have some serious story beats.
It revels in how ridiculous it is, and even with all its anime tropes, that's still refreshing compared to most games.
So no one at Best Buy even knew they had the game. There was 1 BotW and 1 1,2 Switch on the floor in their Switch area. I had to wait a half hour for them to figure out where the game was in their warehouse(they got 5 copies) and get it for me. Doesn't matter now. It's on the way home with me. I'll triple dip if that PC version comes through too. I want these games to keep being made.
Also, Persona 5 is being promoted on the PS4 kiosk? Is this real life? It's on screen alternating time with Infinite Warfare lol.

I honestly can't remember the last time I bought a game at retail. I order all of my video games online.
I did for BotW, because I wasn't about to risk picking up my Switch and having Amazon fail to send the game in time. Otherwise, I've just been happy to get the 20% discount, though it has lately meant that Amazon has been sucking with release day shipping.Am I like, the only one who still walks to the stores and buy it on the release day?

It was mostly just my cheapest option which helped since the Switch was sort of an impulse buy / lucky moment. Removing the being tight with money and I probably would have just gone digital instead.

What did I miss? How is this out on the Eshop already? Can't justify not buying through Amazon due to the crazy preorder discount but it's tempting to download.
Well it's out because today is the official release date.

Lol, makes sense. I though I read the 25th everywhere

On top of that, having played other iterations of the series, we all know the 1 million HL helps, but it really is a tiny drop in the bucket as far the game goes.
I already made the game harder through the assembly <3

The DLC characters recruitment levels scale based on your current chapter in story mode.
At Chapter 1 in very beginning they are all level 1 to 5, and in the post game they are 800+ or higher.
This how it worked on the PS4 version and I am pretty sure it has not changed for the Switch version either.
Pretty much, lol

Don't remember if Sub-classes were available in Disgaea 4 (i don't think so...) but being able to have sub classes on the main characters is a god sent.
OmegaDL50

Sub-classing was introduced in Disgaea 5.
Quoting a bit of my tutorial in the OP, sub-classing has huge benefits and is one of the main keys to maximize a character stats.
When a class is mastered, That classes stat curve is adopted into the character that mastered it.
For example take a Warrior generic who maxes out his base class as a Warrior to 6, and then masters Magician and then reincarnates at 9999 back to 1.
At level 1 not only will this reincarnated Warrior have all of the base stats of a Rank 6 Warrior at level 1 but ALSO the base stats of a Rank 6 Magician as well.
This includes Unique characters as well such as Killia.
Mastering every single class on a single character and then reincarnating back to 1. At level 1 this character with all classes mastered will have 1,100 in all stats and will become roughly 10 Million in all stats at 9,999.
For example.
Stats are capped at 20 Million total. 10 Million for levels and 10 Million for Shards.
Getting all classes mastered fulfills the stat caps for levels, which only leaves the Shard grinding.
This substantially reduces the grind to max out a character.
