Nippon Ichi Software (NIS) has been very generous to their fans when it comes to soundtrack pack-ins and pre-order bonuses for their games. The Disgaea franchises isn’t any different, as there are countless promotional album releases and official releases from the series that I recommend checking out. Today, however, we’re taking a look at the Disgaea Custom Soundtrack, a compilation disc of music from Disgaea 1, 2, and 3 that was given out to those who pre-ordered the Disgaea 3 back in 2008.
Resident NIS composer Tenpei Sato is of course responsible for the music here. I’m a huge fan of his work (we recently reviewed the Phantom Brave and Prinny soundtracks), and his quirky tracks from Disgaea are right in line with those releases. More and more I’m starting to draw parallels in my brain between Sato and Noriyuki Iwadare of all people given that both composers rely on lots of synthesized sounds that lend a distinct “gamey” quality to their scores. Well, let’s dig in!
