* AnAesop: Giving up is not an option. [[GaveUpTooSoon Unless you give up,]] anything and even anyone can truly change. [[ScrewDestiny That includes trying to change destiny itself.]]

The game was released in Japan on January 28, 2021, while the international version came out on June 29, 2021. Notably, the game was made for the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch and UsefulNotes/PlayStation4, but the latter is a [[NoExportForYou Japan only release]]. ''Disgaea 6 Complete'' was announced on February 10, 2022. Similar to previous ''Disgaea Complete'' games, it features all previously released DLC. It was released on June 28, 2022 for the [=PS4=], as well as UsefulNotes/PlayStation5 and PC via Steam.

* BonusBoss: True to series tradition the Super Overlord Baal returns. In any difficulty, you must defeat him twice to win the battle. Naturally, the rewards for beating him are mostly {{Bragging Rights Reward}}s - on Normal and Carnage difficulty, they'll be quickly outclassed and on the new Rakshasa you'll have just beaten the strongest opponent in the game, so there's nothing left to use it on.

* PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo: Keeping with series' tradition, ''[[VideoGame/{{VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness}} Disgaea 1's]]'' original PowerTrio Laharl, Etna, and Flonne all appear as [[BonusBoss Bonus Bosses]] in the base game. [[VideoGame/Disgaea2 Adell, Rozalin]], [[VideoGame/Disgaea3 Mao, Raspberyl]], [[VideoGame/Disgaea4 Valvatorez, Fuka, Desco]], [[VideoGame/Disgaea5 Killia, Usalia]] and Asagi return as DLC.

* TheBattleDidntCount:
** The God of Destruction is the boss of every chapter [[spoiler:during act 1]], and except for the final battle against it, it will always survive being defeated in the following cutscene despite its presented level and power during the actual fight.
** Laharl repeatedly tries to bring up an excuse any time he loses to Zed and company. At one point, he even pretends there was no second bout yet (it was the third).

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Whenever Zed dies and gets Super Reincarnated in the story, his resurrection counter in-game also goes up by 1. [[GameplayAndStorySegregation That said, he doesn't start over from Level 1 like he would if he went through reincarnation in-game.]]

The game was released in Japan on January 28, 2021, while the international version came out on June 29, 2021. Notably, the game was made for the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch and UsefulNotes/PlayStation4, but the latter is currently a [[NoExportForYou Japan only release]]. ''Disgaea 6 Complete'' was announced on February 10, 2022. Similar to previous ''Disgaea Complete'' games, it features all previously released DLC. It was released on June 28, 2022 for the [=PS4=], as well as UsefulNotes/PlayStation5 and PC via Steam.

* ProductPromotionParade: PlayedForLaughs in the postlude; after being defeated, the Prinny Squad decides to use their remaining screentime to plug ''VideoGame/PrinnyCanIReallyBeTheHero'' and it's sequel, which is then immediately lampshaded by Zed and company.

The game was released in Japan on January 28, 2021, while the international version came out on June 29, 2021. Notably, the game was made for the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch and UsefulNotes/PlayStation4, but the latter is currently a [[NoExportForYou Japan only release]]. ''Disgaea 6 Complete'' was announced on February 10, 2022. Similar to previous ''Disgaea Complete'' games, it features all previously released DLC and will be released sometime in Summer 2022. Including [=PS4=] and UsefulNotes/Playstation5, it will also be released on PC.

* ATasteOfPower: While Zed's exact level isn't shown, he begins the game with incredibly high stats and access to three out of his four skills, destroying all incoming enemies with relative ease. This is because the game begins InMediasRes, with Zed telling the story about how he eventually became so strong.

* AbsurdlyHighLevelCap: While this trope has been a series staple since its inception, ''6'' [[UpToEleven takes it to its (il)logical extreme]] with the reveal trailer emphasizing that the level cap has been moved up to 99,999,999 (though it should be noted that the game caps you at Level 9,999 until post-game content, though this doesn't stop you from raising your character's stats well above the limit they were at in previous games)! And unlike previous games, you don't have to wait until the postgame for levels to get silly; you can easily reach level 100 in the first chapter, and the final boss has a level of 5000.

** The game also doesn't have an anime intro, which hasn't happened since the first game.[[note]]Some [[TroubledProduction financial troubles]] with the company a few years back might be why.[[/note]]

* ContrivedCoincidence: Averted, ''hard''. Every strange fortunate connection happens because the Super Reincarnation spell calculates what weirdos will strengthen the protagonist on their quest. [[note]]Zed needs funding so it reincarnates him into a prosperous world ruled by an UnclePennybags with a hero complex, Zed needs the PowerOfLove so it reincarnates him into a Disney-Deconstructed musical with a SpoiledRotten princess in need of character development, Zed needs HeroicSpirit so it reincarnates him into a TV show with a laid-off superheroine, Zed needs magical research so it reincarnates him in a university with a high-level senior mage and contains an unimportant artifact connected to an ''extremely'' important historical character.[[/note]] And the reason why Zed happened to know someone who could cast Super Reincarnation on him just after the God of Destruction ruined his life is because Super Reincarnation led Cerberus to Zed and Bieko in his own quest involving the Gods of Destruction [[spoiler:and unleashing them]].

* AdaptedOut: The ''Complete'' edition excludes Rushia's character from the game, due to her departure from hololive under less-than-ideal circumstances.

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Whenever Zed dies and gets Super Reincarnated in the story, his resurrection counter in-game also goes up by 1.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Zed doesn't have to start over from level 1 when he Super Reincarnates in the story.

* GoldColoredSuperiority: PlayedForLaughs with Misedor, the King of the Human World. He's obscenely wealthy and wears gold plated armor, and one of his unique skills seemingly has him appear atop a statue of himself made out of gold. He's also so intimidated by the God of Destruction that he thinks he can ''bribe it'' to get it to leave, as shown in the Character Trailer.

* JobSystem: Story characters can switch classes at any time, gaining Evilities as they level up the classes. Generic characters must reincarnate to switch classes. [[AchievementSystem D-Merits]] are awarded for levelling up classes, and then mastering classes.

** Despite the original ''Disgaea'' trio having gone through their ''VideoGame/DisgaeaD2ABrighterDarkness'' plot, Sicily is absent for the first time.

* NeverTrustATrailer: Despite being heavily featured in promotional material as being the driving force behind Zed's quest, [[spoiler:Bieko turns out to be a PosthumousCharacter for most of the game.]]
