I remember loving Disgaea 1 and Disgaea 2...After that, I played Disgaea 3 and it wasn't that good and I heard that Disgaea 4 wasn't amazing either... I heard great things about Disgaea 5 and decide to buy it to find that it was...
full of stock anime cliches.
I'm starting to think that the longer a JRPG series goes on for, the more likely it is that all of their characters just turn into Cliche'd memes.
I guess it’s the same problem I had with Three Houses. People say it’s such a clever deconstruction and all, but when you actually cut out all the over edginess, it’s just as generic and cliched as the games that came before it. Just because something is really edgy, doesn’t make it smart.
From what I've seen part of why 5 got hyped up so much was as part of the backlash that 4 got from when it was the Big Popular One(tm). Also, it's been long enough between mainline games that this is probably a lot of the audience's first encounters with these cliches.
That being said, after getting past a reaaallly lackluster intro phase, the game is growing on me. Still tired of seeing these egotistical pervert mascot characters that are supposed to be funny though.
