Is it necessary to play them in order? I don't really have any capacity at all to play any of them, unless there are some that've been made available on the PS4 that I don't know of. I was planning on entering with Disgaea 5.
No, you're good to go.
Some of the games tie together but 5 is going to be a completely new installment.
This. Some characters have had recurring roles but even then they weren't in a capacity that the story would be lost on anyone. Only thing newbies to the series really miss out is some of the humor in post game with character cameos.
Even so, is there any kind of canon? Or are most things resolved on a per-game basis?
Hmmmm, that's a tough question
Like EO said, what you really miss is what characters are doing now.
Sometimes it's full on, like the first Disgaea has a follow up called Disgaea D2 and it followed the first set of characters in what they're doing now. It's also an amazing game that I scored 9.5 on my site.
Others are small cameos that you may not get but they're cameos so if you don't get them it's not going to ruin your enjoyment of the game.
The thing is each Disgaea game builds on the last as far as mechanics go. They add new ones and switch out some older ones that may not mesh with everything. It's really one of the most refined franchises around. I'm hoping that the large install base on the PS4 leads to it being played by more of the mainstream because really, when you play a Disgaea game you just want to play more.
