What should the next theme for Disgaea be?

[Rhuen]

I rather liked the first 2 where the only theme was being a parody of RPGs, but that said while I didn't care for the whole school theme from Disgaea 3, Disgaea 4 is a great game and the political theme is a little downplayed; and to be honest felt like more of a natural evolution for the series given the whole courts and senate stuff from previous games.

But all that said, I had this idea in my head while playing Disgaea 4 of a horror movie theme. In other words a Netherworld, knowing that few humans believe in demons creating their own horror movies to gather fear energy from the human world.

we could also expand on the sci-fi angle and have a Netherworld that is more advanced (we certainly saw signs of this in Disgaea 2 with the Overlords using space ships).

[TyrantValvatorez]

Disgaea 1=The Adventures of a Demon Overlord
Disgaea 2=The Adventures of a Demon Hunter
Disgaea 3=School
Disgaea 4=Politics
Makai Kingdom=Military (Kinda)
La Pucelle=Religion
Etc

So anyone have a idea for the theme of Disgaea 5? Maybe the Adventures of an angel trying to become an archangel? I think that would be nice because Celestia was missing from Disgaea 2, 3 & 4. Plus it might help toward new classes. The only Celestrial classes are the Angel and Holy Dragon.

I don't know. Maybe the next disgaea should be a female main character traveling through disgaea 1-4 making comrades with laharl, adell, mao, and valvatorez. Then the female character is about to die by some final boss or whatever, then the main characters from disgaea 1-4 will come and save her. Then they win, you get the ending, and you can use them in your party after. That is what I would do if I made the next disgaea game.

Fixed!

Just thought of this, if they did the Horror movie theme, that could mean getting the director back from Disgaea 2 as a character,

also I could picture Champloo showing up (maybe post game) wanting his own cooking show.

actually just TV and the movies in general could work as a theme.

I will take that but Axel would probably have to be the main character or one of the main cast.

Which I will say this now- I thought Axel was going to be part of the main heroes in D4 but no he was one of the extra battles which was disappointing for me.

[Rhuen]

yeah with the opening and all I though Axel was going to be on the main team too; and kept waiting for him to join during that whole A-virus episode; I really thought he was going to join after that.

Maybe if they did a tv movie theme he would be in the cast as a returning character from a past game (kind of like how D2 had Etna; granted Axel has only been playable in a side story game).

Two Words: Corporate Espionage. Like a Disgaea Version of Syndicate.

[Rhuen]

After the school them of Disgaea 3 I was afraid 4 was going to be about a Netherworld corporation; which could work...but Hell as a buisiness isn't very original; in fact its been done and alluded too many times; and is actually a running gag on (Ugly Americans) as Hell is full of strip malls and corporate offices. and we had that one movie where it was a law firm (which is also fairly common).

[Koro_Kizama]

1. ninjas
could be done sence ninjas appears in all gens of disgaea
2.a female protagonist who is a overlord majin
3.trinity from the matrix
4. neo from the matrix
5.Laharls dad, showing how he became an overlord and showng most of etna's past
and last but not least

6. Plenair has her own game as a time traveling demon to show what games she appeared in

I vote For 6


and pedro(lie)

[jr2nd]

i'd like an Etna and a grown up Hanako Story.. if you've played D2 and got the good ending..

Spoiler:

Hanako runs away with Etna

i think that would be a good idea for a wacky game or DLC add on!

I remember someone from dA classified the first three games as such:

D1 was about Love

D2 was about Family

D3 was about Friends

This was before we knew anything about D4.

How would D4 be classified in the same term?

And what could the next Disgaea be about?

Gonna revise this a bit

D1 was about Love

D2 was about Love

D3 was about Wasting your time holy shit what a awful story you should feel ashamed NIS

D4 is about Trust

D5 should be about not being D3 because D3's story is total shit

D4 was about comradery

D5 should be about hate and how it's needed.

[Rhuen]

and what will the next long red thing be on the main character?

D1: Scarf

D2: Neck tie

D3: Jacket

D4: Vampire Cape (unique on this list as only the inner part was red)

I say D5 has a female Overlord with really long red hair (maybe even able to manipulate it like tentacles).

The last thing the internet needs is more tentavle porn.

In D5 it should be his shadow (the MC that is).
