Back by popular demand, the next addition to the hilarious and demonic TRPG꧃ series, Disgaea, has finally hit game stores. Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless marks twenty years since the launch of its popular predecessor, and in celebration the games director, Shunsuke Minowa, has been giving the low down on the new game's true essence.

Not only does he go into some detail, speaking to our Jon Bailes in Play magazine about how the devs at Nippon Ichi are going back to basics to make up for the previous game's second-rate reception, Minowa reveals some interesting traits for the games main characters, too.

"Whenever he experiences anything approaching ✃human-like emotions, he vomits blood,” says Minowa, referencing the game's Samourai protagonist, Fuji—the darker of two main characters. 

Minowa speaks of his supporting character, Pirilika, as a "super kind person" whose nature both contrasts and complements their peer's. As such the game features some angel-demon dynamics from the protagonists&ওmdash;a kind of trope to ease the demonic traits of brutality, laziness, and&helꦐlip; frugality? 

Whether the latter is a negative trait, I'm unsure, but one thing's for 💝sure: Tumblr will be all aflutter with fanfiction shipping the t🐽wo of them in no time.

The two are "made in the image of Laharl and Flonne", the original game's Prince of Darkness characte﷽r a﷽nd their loyal angelic supporting character.

No not only does the game go back to basics in terms of the main characters, it also moves away from the pre෴vious game's auto battler style, and restores a bunch of character classes and weapon skills that were removed in the interest of simplification in Disgaea 6.

The game is out now on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Steam. If you're interested, you can also head over and read Dash's rundown of the goodies featured in PLAY #31.
