Recently, I’ve made a poll in Disgaea RPG Facebook groups and Disgaea RPG subreddit. I asked the community how to pronounce disgaea.
The choices from the polls are:
- Dis-GUY-uh
- Dis-GAY-uh
- Dis-GEE-uh
- Dis-GEE
What are the results? How to pronounce Disgaea?
Surprisingly, Dis-GUY-ah wins by a landslide. People are pointing in this YouTube trailer where the voice actor can be heard pronouncing Dis-GUY-uh.
Followed by Dis-GAY-uh, people are making a case on how this is how it was pronounced. There are notable comments from the Facebook group saying:
- Deez-Gah-EE-uh
- DI SU GAI YA
- Dis-GA-HAY-A, pronouncing it in French

Conclusion
It is fun to know that DIsgaea RPG players are pronouncing it differently. Different language with different accents definitely affects how it is pronounced.
Regardless of how it is pronounced, we can all agree that we love Disgaea RPG despite the RNG Gods are not favoring us in our pulls.
Here in Brazil, before I know how to pronounce, I was speaking “Disguéa”, this “É” here, it’s like the “e” In the word “echo”.
