This was uploaded 2 days ago so. They increased the speed of the game, they added the ability to turn off Geo animations, bonus bar fills up way faster, The statistician power was increased. You can now cancel actions without going back to base panel, You can also change your character movement without canceling, etc
can't say i'm all too happy about many of the changes, mainly the replacing of units such as the galaxy demon which was known for its high def, and other changes like the treant becoming a cute springy eryngi this remake really took away a lot of the original charm of disgaea 1 which was about these creepy vile monsters living in the netherworld and they made it all cutesy like in their later incarnations, and they didn't even entirely remake the game from the ground up based on the sfx and animations this really makes me reconsider buying it thanks for this comprehensive comparison
The stats are the same it's just the sprites, though I agree I do love the classic Disgaea 1 sprites and feel they were just looking to recycle existing HD sprites rather than make new ones for the generic enemies.
I mean it's kind of cool that it's different but it kind of feels like they were just being lazy and replacing old unique graphics with already existing ones like the weapons and monsters. Would be nice to be able to toggle old and new graphics.
The change to the Item World no longer being able to have geo effects on the portals is all the change I needed to warrant me buying Disgaea 1 for the 4th time. Thank you for the info!
I've got over 4,000 hours logged on PS2 and I just picked up Complete for PS5 about a week ago. It WILL. NOT. STOP. CRASHING. Always in the Item World.
Out of the many monster changes in Disgaea 1 Complete, replacing the beast class with the dragon zombies is the most infuriating one. Bone dragons don't even look like manticores, they are fucking lions in mythology! Come on, NIS!
Sigh...if they added disgaea d2 on this, the word "complete" is more meaningful. Still going to buy it though, for the sake of nostalgia and collection!
I had forgotten a lot of the disgaea 1 more unique character designs. I like the female thief more but all the other changes ehhh.... Galatic demons look so much cooler and intimidating.
And the fact that you can play it how YOU want with an Action Replay, GameShark or, CodeBreaker on the PS2 has no influence on your reason whatsoever? 🤨
I hadn't realised disgaea 1 complete was this difficult in the desire factor. I'm honestly sad that the older models were changed. Before seeing this I was replaying D5 and was wishing some of the older characters came back in a new game
The sprite charges to the monsters are enough to make me choose the PC version over this version. Its just really weird and inconsistent since they did make new models for some classes but just replaced others with something completely different.
What really pissed me off was that there is no sprite of Laharl walking straight up or down. That is unforgivable and triggers my autism to levels that shouldn't even be possible
You'd think they would've had a implemented the feature that appeared in D4 (so far anyway, D5 and DD2 probably didn't have this) where you could play it with 2d sprites or Isometric sprites
I am way late to the show, but I just got disgaea 1 from steam, coz I saw it on a bundle and wanted to play all the disgaea games. My game however is buggy it has problems with the shadows where like it cover 1/5 of the screen in it and it looks like a broken screen xD, still playable so is not so bad but I don't have the new sprites or weapons skin, do I need to do something or there not available on pc[steam] Port?
I don't know much about the PC version, but the complete version was not released on PC afaik. If you want the new sprites, you'll have to mod it in, though I don't know for sure if those mod exists or not.
@@JRPGFanaticyea,you need to mod it the pc version but it doesn't have all the new models for everthing so it doesn't sound that worth it of a mod to do.
I can't see them doing that outside of Disgaea 2 since D3 and D4 have the vita ports with all the DLCs. I could see them porting those over (along with Disgaea D2) to PS4/Switch if there were any plans. If the sales of Disgaea 1 Complete performed within or exceeding their expectations I could see them bringing back the old Disgaea games. I don't think it did well, so it's probably just wishful thinking.
jRPGFanatic wait if they are remastering Disgaea D2 a brighter darkness, they better make etnas brother playable as a secret character the same way they made void dark playable as a secret character in Disgaea 5 after you beat the game
Complete was never released for pc. If you mean Steam version, this is just port from PSP with cut multiplayer, if I'm not mistaken. "Complete" version was only released for Switch and PS4.
I bought this for the sake of being a fan. I couldn't get into it because I played too much of Disgaea 5 and this game was sooooo slow in comparison and there was no way to change it. Grinding was a nightmare. Outside of the story this game was insanely barebones. They should have added more updates considering this was the definitive version of the game.
@@justfriends7581 , It's not a bad game by any means and if this is your first Disgaea game then sure, Check it out.The plot and the characters are solid. However If your a series veteran like myself and played the later games it can be hard to pick this up again as it lacks the updated features later games offer. Personally I swear by Disgaea 4 and 5.
@@JRPGFanatic Oh wait, I got my games mixed up. Lady Samurai was in Disgaea but not in 2. In the psp rerelease you needed save data from Disgaea 1 to have Lady Samurai unlockable in Disgaea 2. I'm actually hoping they make a Disgaea 2 Complete. I played the crap outta that game on my psp. Did not care that much for 3 though...
I loved it back in 2003 but I regret buying the complete version. Too many QOL features are missing and it's barely playable, especially after playing D5. About the only reason to play it is to replay the hilarious story mode.
thank you a lot for this video, i was stressing over if i should buy the remake on the switch or not since i have the DS version... the new "remake" doesn't reminds me of the disgaea on DS... so I'll pass. but thanks for this video i wish we had the option to have the old sprites/characters back if we wanted to... or just have two versions of them i suppose?
Yeah having the option to switch between the two visuals would have been a nice addition. I would also like to add that this video was done before the latest patch was released which added more QoL changes that won't be present in the DS version like heal/support spell experience and not losing rank when transmigrating.
When I made this video no. Patch 1.02 fixed that I believe, I haven't actually tested it. "Changed battle mechanics for heal and support skills." You can check out the patch notes on update history on PS4 (not sure how it works on switch).
Cause its disgaea 1 and disgaea 1 mechanics not much as changed .... If your looking for magichange disgaea 2 and onwards has them in 2 you have to finish Axel mode first thou
You know, if they paid me a couple thousand dollars... I would draw them some of those missing monster sprite sheets to match the HD style. And for I dunno 10,000 I'd do them all. This replacement bullshit just looks really bad.
They just copy and paste a game which has already too much uninteresting remakes. At least do Disgaea 2 Complete, this one is way more interesting and more cameo.
Amanda only voiced PS2 Etna. Michelle has voiced every Etna (including spin offs) after Amanda, so it's not really a matter of "keeping" her. Michelle is Etna at this point.

Many of this things was added after a update but the video came out after the update.
I didn't know there was a patch but yeah, I missed all those things. Thanks for bringing it up.
@@JRPGFanatic Right now is only on the PS4 but they said they will bring it to the switch soon
it's been almost 2 years. . is it better than the pc version or the same?
@@sincalo yeah it is but maybe the mobile version is better, Dunno I didn't buy the mobile version.
Subsequent update now gives xp to characters for casting braveheart and heal on high level characters, making support teams useful.
Hot damn, old comment but that was a peeve of mine back when I was playing D1. Trying to actually use healer/support classes was a pain.
can't say i'm all too happy about many of the changes, mainly the replacing of units such as the galaxy demon which was known for its high def, and other changes like the treant becoming a cute springy eryngi
this remake really took away a lot of the original charm of disgaea 1 which was about these creepy vile monsters living in the netherworld and they made it all cutesy like in their later incarnations, and they didn't even entirely remake the game from the ground up based on the sfx and animations
this really makes me reconsider buying it
thanks for this comprehensive comparison

Yeah, that port/remake was made in the age of lazy/poor NIS. Long gone are the days of ports adding ton of extra stuff. Sadly.
I mean it's kind of cool that it's different but it kind of feels like they were just being lazy and replacing old unique graphics with already existing ones like the weapons and monsters. Would be nice to be able to toggle old and new graphics.
I loved the galactic demons and trents
I loved the Vampies (Maderas' Class)
This is quite an underwhelming re-release, they're milking this game too much at this point, IMO.
The change to the Item World no longer being able to have geo effects on the portals is all the change I needed to warrant me buying Disgaea 1 for the 4th time. Thank you for the info!
Never played a Disgaea game before, but for me this looks really good compared to the others, I'm really enjoying this game on PS4 now.
3 words: REMASTERED. HORSE. WEINER.
hahaha,cracked me up man
I've got over 4,000 hours logged on PS2 and I just picked up Complete for PS5 about a week ago. It WILL. NOT. STOP. CRASHING.
Always in the Item World.
I don't mind the sprite change at all. Those hd sprite and UI look soooooo damn good 😎. Can't wait to play it!
Out of the many monster changes in Disgaea 1 Complete, replacing the beast class with the dragon zombies is the most infuriating one. Bone dragons don't even look like manticores, they are fucking lions in mythology! Come on, NIS!
You forgot to say dude!
Sigh...if they added disgaea d2 on this, the word "complete" is more meaningful. Still going to buy it though, for the sake of nostalgia and collection!
I had forgotten a lot of the disgaea 1 more unique character designs. I like the female thief more but all the other changes ehhh.... Galatic demons look so much cooler and intimidating.
Yeah I was bummed they got rid of the beast class for another dragon variation
I am soooooooo glad they updated the retro sprites to HD BUT kept the story sprites as original.
somehow i feel this is the best of both words.
I kinda hate how they just reused assets.. Like, Disegea 1 is good, but I kinda prefer the original just because of that reason.
And the fact that you can play it how YOU want with an Action Replay, GameShark or, CodeBreaker on the PS2 has no influence on your reason whatsoever? 🤨
I hadn't realised disgaea 1 complete was this difficult in the desire factor. I'm honestly sad that the older models were changed. Before seeing this I was replaying D5 and was wishing some of the older characters came back in a new game
I do not care if there are not too many changes. Disgaea is good as it is really. I replayed the 1 Complete version twice until now. :D
The sprite charges to the monsters are enough to make me choose the PC version over this version. Its just really weird and inconsistent since they did make new models for some classes but just replaced others with something completely different.
Dont know how i feel about shadows and manacorns replaced
Im curious with the complete edition now on moble devises are you going to take a dive into it and see whats up?
Ryu Hiyeabossa same
No, I don't cover mobile games (I don't like playing games on my phone).
I think it's almost the exact same except for auto grind
I feel like they changed how promotion exams work, as before if you reincarnated your rank would reset, and now it seems to stay.
Yes, this video was made before all the QoL changes were added. Ranks no longer reset when reincarnating, support spells now give exp, and etc
I mean that's better cause I'm not gonna subject myself or torture myself to do every rankup for the 10th time just to reincarnate again
Eh, I prefer the Shadow model.
I prefer the Manticore
Intensely disappointing... but it IS still the Disgaea 1 story with all the D1 characters, so I can't be too bothered.
What really pissed me off was that there is no sprite of Laharl walking straight up or down. That is unforgivable and triggers my autism to levels that shouldn't even be possible
Trophys have pics by them?
You'd think they would've had a implemented the feature that appeared in D4 (so far anyway, D5 and DD2 probably didn't have this) where you could play it with 2d sprites or Isometric sprites
Disgaea 1 Complete just got released onto Android and iOS today! Will you be covering that version too?
No, I don't cover anything on mobile. But it's cool news

Is Disgaea 1 on PC the same as complete? I want to know as I recently bought Disgaea 1/2 on PC and wanting to know if I made the right decision...
According to this video, Yes, you made the right choice.
no,the pc is like the orignal on the ps2 version. it's nothing like the switch version at all
Ah now it makes sense why the enemies looked different now that I'm playing it on switch...I miss the old monsters
then you can the old one or the pc version instead.
Its cool that they change the man eater to shroom, which is from la pucelle.
and waifu material heck yes
I hope they remastered all the Disgaea games

when is Disgaea 1 Complete coming to the pc?
it's never coming to pc cuz it already has disgaea pc already .
