Disgaea 6 on Switch is only 1.5GB (Disgaea 5 Complete on Switch is 7.6GB)

Disgaea 6 (1.5GB) vs. Disgaea 5 Complete (7.6GB)

Well there's one big benefit to going with 3D models; no worry of so many HD sprites and animations taking up so much space! :P

So at least it's super-friendly to your micro SD card (or internal) space. Hell since the game visually is evidently made for Switch in mind, I wonder if that allowed them to far better optimize it as well. You think if it was made for PS4 in mind, it'd be a chunkier game file-wise?

Speaking of, I checked the JP Playstation store site, it's seemingly not there at all. Odd.

Thoughts?

Maybe the voice lines are either super compressed or not as much is voiced this time? 🤔

Doubt that. NIS never compress their audio that much from my experience. And they're promoting the VA in the west at least. Who knows.

You have two links to Disgaea 6, btw. Here is the link for Disgaea 5. Disgaea 5 also had multi-language support, although I am not sure if it extended into audio.

Man I remember when the 1st one came out.

Huh, swore I copied and pasted it properly. Thanks! :D

And to my knowledge, NIS have NEVER recorded non-JP and Eng audio before unless I'm wrong. It's always referred to text only.

Without knowing the technology behind the game, you have to consider that there are formats that are specially optimized for human speech. Like Opus for example ...

3D models vs. Sprites. Quite th difference but guess it makes sense with R6 being developed from the ground up with 3D in mind.
