I Found the solution, for those who get the "Failed to initializate" error well in the end it's all about direct x 11. Or at least that's what I think.
What I did to be able to use the game is to use the dxcpl program.
The only thing you have to do with that program is:
Add the game by clicking on "Edit List .."
After adding at the bottom Select the options "Force WARP and Disable Feature Level Upgrade.
In the Device Settings - Feature Level Limit section: You can use direct x11 (I don't recommend it as it will be a little slower) or leave it at None.
After doing this the game should open normally.
At this time I did not upload images of the process because it seems that my account was bugged.

beat the game or On the main title screen, place your cursor on Continue and enter the Disgaea code to unlock end-game content and DLC characters before you finish the story.
in put (menu, extension button, cancel, menu, extension button, cancel, select) make sure you have voice sounds on and you will hear sardines

So... why Disgaea 3 is not even ported to PC? that's the only one I missed playing from the psp port era, unfortunate it was ported to PsVita then

D3 is probably the least popular game of the series, I've seen so many people saying that 1,2, 4 and 5 are the best but i've never seen anyone saying that about 3 lol

Mehmeh, I would rather have D2 ported first. It was pretty alright.

I'm surprised that 3 hasn't come out. I mean 1,2,4 and 5 are out; 3 is literally all that's missing
it's a PS3 game, and I could probably emulate it, but I' not sure it'd work.

Except Disgaea 6 was announced for Switch. D2 is more a remake of Disgaea with added stuff.

3 is easily the weakest game in the franchise. I expected them to release 3 last, if at all.

Yeah, but I just mean for the sake of completion. If you're going to have most of them, you may as well have all of them.

Yes, but Disgaea 4 was also on PS3 and still got a release on PC. I do believe we will get Disgaea 3 at some point. Maybe they are working on it already. I love the OST in Disgaea 3 and the school theme is actually fun too. You love it or hate

d4 ps3 is not the same as d4 pc/switch different versions, only reason it hit pc was because of switch/pc version has nothing to do with ps3 disgaea 3 wont get re-released because it hasnt yet and it was vastly unpopular

check that your sound card is selected if you are using windows 10 there is a little speaker to click on that will show you the sound card you are using make sure it isn't muted or anything if you use something like dfx audio enhancer again click on the litte speaker switxh it from dfx to your sound card hope that this helps you
