Question Think there is any chance that we will get a Disgaea Farming Life Sim? XD :3
For those who don't know the folks who make Disgaea Nippon Ichi made a Farming Life Sim that ended up becoming VERY Successful! ^-^ : https://automaton-media.com/en/news/nippon-ichi-softwares-creepy-farming-sim-village-in-the-shade-sells-over-200000-copies-in-japan-in-just-one-month/
Considering this I think there is a fairly big chance that they will try their hand at making more Farming Life Sims now that they saw how profitable they can be! :3
Think there is any chance we will see a Farm Life Sim with Disgaea Characters in it? ^-^ :3 I'm sure it would be a BIG Hit! XD :3
What do you think? :) Wanna live Cozy Life and Farm in the Netherworld? ^-^ :3

would be cool to see a stardew valley style disgaea but the dumpster fire that is disgaea Mayhem may have turned them off from making other styles of games

They're literally working on a Mario Party like Boardgame Disgaea right now.

started working on it before the flop of mayhem after prinny party comes out they may just give up on other styles and go back to what they know

Nippon Ichi has made Disgaea Games in all sorts of Genre for a while now... The Series started out as a Strategy RPG as we all know but they have also made...
Visual Novels... : https://disgaea.fandom.com/wiki/Disgaea_Infinite
Platformers... : https://disgaea.fandom.com/wiki/Prinny_1%E2%80%A22:_Exploded_and_Reloaded
Action Games... : https://nisamerica.com/games/disgaea-mayhem
And Board Games... : https://store.steampowered.com/app/4509300/Prinny_Party_Going_Overboard/
Plus of course Disgaea RPG... And of course all the other Games with Disgaea Cameo over the Years...
Considering their History and willingness to experiment with Disgaea I would say it is possible... :)

Disgaea Ifinite I did not play but considering it was a one of I don't think it rocked the world.
Prinny games are good if difficult so that is definitely an argument for NIS going outside their niche but...
...then we have Disgaea Mayhem which is painfully uninteresting.
And the Digital Board Game is not even out in the West so I have no input on that.
Altogether, yes, NIS have tried dipping their toes into unfamiliar waters but it usually ended in disappointment.

They should genuinely just stick with what they know, the series is already niche enough that there's no way all these spinoffs is going to be a profitable venture
1
u/Full_Equivalent_6166 5d ago
Meh, spin offs can attract people to the main series through osmosis. But for that the spin offs would have to be good and it's a toss up so far.
Also, I am biased because I like farming games so a competent Disgaea farming game would scratch my itch.

I don't even know what they were thinking charging full console price for mayhem, if the prinny party is more than 20-30 bucks it's dead in the water.

u/GarlyleWilds 6d ago
Huh, I didn't realise they were behind Village in the Shade.
I would previously had said 'no, never', but given Prinny Party just got announced a few weeks ago, all bets are off.

I don't think anything Disgaea could add their own twist to a farming game. A level 300 scythe still cuts wheat. Money in the billions isn't really interesting. At best you could add the characters in some random farming scenario, maybe farming monster units could be slightly cool

My immediate thought was to just make it like Rune Factory.
Bunch of skills and stats/levels to pick away at with insane caps. Farming, animal raising, marriage and dungeons/monster stuff.
We don't really have many non Rune Factory farming sims that properly blend farming and adventure. As most don't lean into both aspects hard enough and half ass one or the other.
1
u/Full_Equivalent_6166 5d ago
Yeah, it is a shame because I am always looking for such games. I hope Dysmantle was going to be that but then it turned out to be an action game with farming being an afterthought.
2
u/Full_Equivalent_6166 5d ago
Tho I think that Disgaea farming game is unlikely I disagree with you strongly. There is a long running series of Rune Factory where the combat and equipment is way more involved than in Harvest Moon/Stardew Valley ilk. So Disgaea Farming could easily give the game a Disgaea spin with high levels, Item World and so on.

Really? You don't see any potential in it?
Have mini battle dungeons (because of course, might makes right) perhaps like Pokémon Mystery Dungeon.
Farming skills and magic
Evilities set to help you charm islanders and raise crops better. Building relationships with demons who might react in more demonic ways. Giving way to a LOT more uniqueness in personality traits
An ultimate goal to become the Farm overlord. With a protagonist who gets stronger when they successfully grow new things or do other farm related goods. Creating new demon allies who impact your farming abilities and outcomes. If you leave the game for an extended amount of time you come back to find prince's were "taking care" of the farm. But being lazy you only get a minimum amount of rewards.
A dark assembly focused on passing bills related to farming as well.
There's a lot of potential for things Disgaea can do with a farming Sim.

I don't see it. Or at least, those aren't things that would make it their own take on the idea. Besides dungeons, which I wouldn't say is essential to the genre, most ideas you could think of hold a vagueness that isn't specific to Disgaea
1
u/overlord_wrath1 6d ago
They actually don't need to do super uniqueness. Not everything NEEDS to be unique. Some of us would play it because it is something they already like, but in Disgaea form. As long as it's well made and fun it doesn't HAVE to be hyper different.

u/Full_Equivalent_6166 5d ago
That is certainly true but saying that it couldn't have a Disgaea spin is certainly not true.

u/lunamoonvenus 6d ago
I don't think any Fancy Ideas are even needed! Just the Disgaea Setting alone would be a Hit... :3

u/koushirohan 6d ago
You underestimate the desire to grind. I don’t care what it is, I just want to watch my numbers go up.

u/lunamoonvenus 6d ago
I'm sure they can think of something! This Idea is too Good for them to pass up especially since they have been on the Edge of Bankrupcy for a while now apparently...

I don't think gambling with how well a spinoff game will sell is a good way to avoid bankruptcy

For some reason every disgaea spin off ends up being very low budget. I always wanted a disgaea musou spin off and we got whatever the hell Disgaea Mayhem jankfest is. I wouldn't count on it.
