Fans of the Disgaea franchise have a new reason to get excited as Nippon Ichi is set to release a new, more comprehensive version of Disgaea 7 in Japan. Known as Disgaea 7: Koremade no Zenbu Iri Hajimemashita, it is anticipated to be called Disgaea 7 Complete for Western audiences. This edition comes as an enhanced version of the original strategic RPG Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless, which debuted on the Nintendo Switch in Japan in January 2023 and made its way to Western gamers later that year in October.
This expanded version of the game is scheduled to land on Japanese shelves on July 25, 2024, offering a more complete experience for both newcomers and veterans of the series. Disgaea 7 Complete doesn't just repack the original content; it also introduces brand new elements to the game, including storytelling and gameplay features that enrich the already vast Disgaea universe.
Significant is the new story arc titled “The World Savers Squad” that brings fan-favorite characters from across the series into a single chapter. Players will have to complete the main storyline before diving into this additional content, but those who persevere will be rewarded with a new playable character named Asagi.
Besides narrating the new chapter, Disgaea 7 Complete incorporates innovative gameplay elements to refresh the tactical RPG experience. The added Hell Inheritance feature offers enhanced options for character development, allowing for a deeper level of customization and freedom in crafting your strategic approach. For those seeking a considerable challenge, the inclusion of Rakshasa Baal as a new superboss provides just that; in previous installments, Baal is known for his daunting difficulty level and the Complete edition of Disgaea 7 is no exception, presenting a grueling trial for even the most seasoned players.
But what about those who have already invested time and money into the original Disgaea 7? They haven't been left out. The new narrative and gameplay components will be available for separate purchase, meaning players can access the fresh content without needing to buy the complete edition. So rest easy, your previous engagement with the game won't be obsolete.
Strategy RPG enthusiasts who haven't had the chance to experience Disgaea 7 have the perfect opportunity to discover what the hype is about. The game offers a rich, tactical depth paired with charming and over-the-top characters, set in a vibrant, albeit violent, fantasy realm.
Nonetheless, as Nippon Ichi has announced Disgaea 7 Complete's launch for Japan, players around the world are on the edge of their seats awaiting news of a Western release date. The company has built anticipation and loyalty with its Disgaea series, and the player base is eager to consume all the new content as it's rolled out.
Apart from expanding the game, this release strategy could very well be a method to reengage the player base and introduce brand-new players to the franchise. Given the success of past Disgaea titles and the dedicated following of tactical RPGs, it's now a waiting game for many looking forward to the Western announcement for Disgaea 7 Complete. As gamers mark their calendars for the Japanese release, they remain hopeful that their turn to dive back into the Netherworld with a whole new set of adventures and challenges will come soon.
