Really liked D5. For anyone that has been on the fence, you really shouldn't be. I wasn't even a HUUUUGE fans of the previous ones. Thought most were pretty good I guess but I loved 5.
Don't know why I thought this was launch. Watched a few videos on the series and was thinking about picking it up. Guess I got some extra money to put into another game/accessory on release.
I have to admit, I'm not exactly a huge Disgaea fan but this is one of the games that pushed me to wanting a Switch sooner than later. Disgaea 3 filled a similar niche for the Vita and it was great.
How does D5 compare to D4? I was a big fan of the series since day one (playing the first three games multiple times, etc.), but D4 bored me within the first few chapters and I never finished it.

The game is bigger and better. Like gameplay wise, so much is added and improved. It's so good.
The story comes down to preference. I thought it dragged on after a while.
Each game has a different story and a new cast. 1: Overlord out to reclaim his throne. 2: Human out to save his family. 3: Bratty kid out for revenge against his father for breaking his PSP. 4: A vampire who wants to save Prinnies. 5: Alliance of Overlords. (Sheer badassery)
I always wanted to try out playing 5 on my vita through cross play, but only ever played it on ps4. Having it on Switch is how I wanted to play this from the beginning.
In terms of recruits, yes. As for the amount of maps however, Disgaea 5 takes the cake here.
Putting things into perspective, Disgaea 5 has 16 story chapters at 5 maps each. This isn't factoring the post-game stuff, or the DLC recruit maps which are comprised of 3 maps each.
Compared to Disgaea 1 and 2 which have the second longest campaigns in the series at 12 chapters each, followed by Disgaea 4's 10 chapters, with Disgaea 3's 8 chapters.
Adding the Fuka and Desco Show and Raspberyl side story stuff probably bumps Disgaea 3 and 4's maps comparable to Disgaea 1 and 2 amounts.
Still the main game content is largely irrelevant in terms of overall scope of the post game in terms of length and things to do.
Still Disgaea 5 and all of it's DLC on a single cartridge for the Switch is a tremendous amount of game content to be had, even if it's re-released at a $60 price tag.
It's kind of hard to say. Disgaea 3 had a much shorter main storyline (it's one of the reasons for the
bunch of Fake Out End chapters in D4
) , and Disgaea 4 got three pieces of "story"-like episodes as DLC (the Tournament, Fuko & Desco Mode & Fenrir's backstory mode) while Disgaea 3 only got Raspberyl mode. On the other hand Disgaea 3 Vita added 3 mini-stories (Kyoko and Asuka, Salvoterz and Master Big Star, Almaz & Sapphire, and the Majiin Academy) while Disgaea 4 Vita only added the Sister Artina story but it was longer. Disgaea 3 had a truly ridiculous amount of DLC characters thoug, Disgaea 4 also had a lot but I'm pretty sure it didn't even come close.

Doesn't Laharl show up in Disgaea 5? If so, then that's even more reason for me to jump in. Heh, Laharl is my fav character in the series. Having all the DLC will be awesome, too. Definitely picking this up in May.

Yeah, I liked the Disgaea 3 class rooms much more than the Disgaea 4 Cam-pain Map thing.
The only problem though was the fact the largest amount of seats the Class Room could have was 64.
Factoring there is 41 unique non-generic units. (Mao and the main game characters, Laharl and all of the Post-game recruits, plus the DLC characters) means if you wanted one of every single unit in the game there wasn't enough seats and you needed to send the extras to the detention storage basically.
I think Disgaea 5's method of having all of your recruits being able to freely walk about at your base was NIS best way to handle your troops.
Must have that collectors edition! Something about the switch game cases makes me want to buy strictly physical lol. I love that the Switch logo is just a small red square, really makes box art shine.

As other members told you it's not connected.
But I'd like to had that from some people who played it, it's also a solid title to begin the series with.
