Trophies are little achievements unlocked by doing certain things in the game. They are often common to have in Playstation 3 games so players will want to try and accomplish more in the game and get the most out of it. The trophies were added in the July 17, 2009 update patch for Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice. Once a trophy requirement is done, players will receive a note saying they got a trophy. Each trophy is also divided into a color level, showing how hard it is to get. Bronze Trophies are easy, Silver Trophies are medium, Gold Trophies are hard and Platinum Trophies are awarded once all others are collected. All Trophies in Disgaea 3 can be obtained without having to beat the story or start a New Cycle.
