''Disgaea Infinite'' is a [[Visual Novel]] for the [[PSP]], modeled after a 2008 Japan-only game called ''Infinite Loop: Kojou Ga Miseta Yume''<ref>(translation: ''The Fortress that Gives Dreams'')</ref>.
It takes place sometime after the events of ''[[Disgaea: Hour of Darkness]]''. Overlord Laharl, while scheming to steal one of his vassal Etna's favorite snacks, becomes the victim of an assassination attempt. Etna and Flonne are initially accused of trying to kill him (given that they had actually tried to do so in the past), but are cleared of suspicion when Laharl turns his wrath on the Prinnies. Since none of them are willing to come forward and confess, Laharl threatens them with the [[Cool and Unusual Punishment|most heinous of punishments a Prinny could ever receive]] -- a ''salary cut''!
One of the Prinnies stumbles upon a magical pocket watch called TickTock, who grants him a chance to go back in time and find out who tried to assassinate the Overlord. The Prinny is also granted the ability to possess the other characters so that he can see the events from their perspective, and limited mind control abilities, which he can use to make them say things they wouldn't normally say (with sometimes [[Hilarity Ensues|hilarious results]]). He'll have to use the powers granted to him by TickTock to save the Overlord, and most importantly...his life savings!
Line 24:
** [[Lampshade Hanging|Hilariously referred to as]] "the Guffaw Battle" by TickTock.
* [[Event Flag]]
* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: The harshest of the [[108|108 punishments]] Laharl threatens to dish out is the dreaded "negative salary". Since Prinnies already work for peanuts, this effectively means that ''they'' will pay ''him'' for ''their'' labor.
* [[Funny Afro]]: Jennifer briefly grows one after Thursday's power-up unit malfunctions and she gets caught in the explosion.
** Etna gets ''two'' when {{spoiler|Laharl blasts her with a flamethrower when he realises he's putting up posters.}}
Line 33:
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: The database entry for "assassination": "We know, we know, [[Made of Iron|he's not really dead]]. We just have to go with it."
* [[Multiple Endings]]: A total of 14.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: During one of the endings, two characters fight each other using [[Humongous Mecha]]. One of them is one of the vehicles from [[Makai Kingdom]]. The other is [[Soul Nomad and The World Eaters|Raksha's body]].
* [[Narrator]]: TickTock regularly narrates, apologizing for her tendency to do so. "Jennifer initiated a sex-ed course!"
* [[Nigh Invulnerability]]: Laharl.
Line 39:
'''Laharl:''' Of course I am! An assassination couldn't possibly be enough to kill me! }}
* [[Not Himself]]: Anyone's reaction to being mind-controlled.
* [[The Glomp]]: You can mind-control Laharl into glomping Jennifer. She makes a remark about him going through puberty after he regains control over himself and freaks out.
* [[Overly Long Gag]]: ''"Laharl, absent-minded and confused, puts up the posters like a zombie!"''
* [[Out-of-Character Moment]]: The prinny can cause some temporary, though really hilarious, ones when it mind controls the characters. The ones where Etna and Laharl are made to act all nice and like good guys [[Funny Moments (Sugar Wiki)|take the pudding!]]
* [[Rule of Funny]]: Almost every time someone gets mind controlled, a ''very'' bizarre sequence is shown in addition to the altered dialogue that no one seems to comment on. For instance, in one scene, for no apparent reason Flonne and Laharl both jump into two [[Humongous Mecha|Humongous Mechas]] and run into each other.
* [[Serious Business]]: [[Evil Laugh|Guffawing]] according to Laharl and Mao.
* [[Sliding Scale of Silliness Versus Seriousness]]: This game is very silly, even by ''[[Disgaea]]'' standards.
Line 58:
{{quote|'''Flonne:''' I don't think that word means what you think it means.}}
* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: Mao acts like one upon first seeing Flonne. Of course, it's [[For Science!]].
* [[Stock Footage]]: The game uses mainly [[Disgaea: Hour of Darkness]] portraits and sprites, though the portraits are now animated.
* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: Etna doesn't have a bottle fetish.
* [[Talking to Himself|Talking To Herself]]: [[Chiwa Saitou]] provides both Jennifer and Raspberyl's Japanese voice.
* [[The Talk]]: Jennifer offers to give this to Laharl, since he's "at such a complicated age." He refuses, but the prinny can mind-control him into accepting.
* [[Title Drop]]
{{quote|'''Laharl''': Savor the flavor of my super-ultimate, most secret skill...Corrupt World Regeneration! '''Disgaea'''!}}
* [[Trailers Always Lie]]: The [[Attract Mode]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIGPLIAMcKA trailer] is a ''very'' loose recap of [[Disgaea: Hour of Darkness]].
* [[Tsundere]]: Laharl has a ''[[Cannot Spit It Out|very]]'' [[Cannot Spit It Out|hard time]] congratulating Flonne or telling her that he'd miss her even though it's pretty clear that he would. There's also an entry about the term in the game's database, depicting [[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories|Adell and Rozalin]].
* [[Violation of Common Sense]]: At one point, you can possess a Geo Symbol. Getting stuck in this form at the end of the first loop triggers {{spoiler|a bad ending where Etna destroys it out of frustration, trapping his soul in limbo}}.
Line 70:
** Happens ''very'' often in this game. Another example is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5XXIc-OQKY#t=2m52s Laharl "straightening posters"] by going into [[Gundam Seed|SEED Mode]], targeting the posters, and performing the Freedom Gundam's [[Beam Spam|Hi-MAT Full Burst]]. And then let's not forget the over-the-top reactions of whoever eats the Super Rare Pudding...
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: '''Captain Gordon, 37th Defender of Earth and Hero of Justice''' can handle demons, monsters and aliens with ease, but put him in the same room as a cockroach, and watch him [[Freak-Out|go spastic]].
** Similarly, Jennifer can't stand [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|Sea Cucumbers]].
* [[Yank the Dog's Chain]]: {{spoiler|You just had to end the game with Asagi losing yet another chance to become a main character, didn't you, [[Nippon Ichi]]?}}
** Also, in one of the endings {{spoiler|Flonne finally receives her Prism Rangers vs. Effort Ninja Gorillian DVD with Beryl even going out of her way to get the limited edition version with the soundtrack and figurine. Unfortunately, she's unaware of the fact that said DVD is actually a Blu-ray and all attempts to have it play in her DVD player are in vain.}} It got better with Thursday's help - the one time that his upgrade actually WORKS!
