bad_fur_day1: I like grindy jrpg's but Disgaea took it to another level, I'm not that dedicated.
Disgaea allows you to grind till you drop, but doesn't force you - I've just recently finished Afternoon of Darkness (PSP), and it took me about as long as Chrono Trigger or Bloodlines - 46 hours, to be precise. It did *require* some grinding to level up near the end, as Disgaea isn't the most...tactical amongst tactical RPGs.

Did you defeat Baal, or did you just finish the main game?

No, main only. I started Etna's campaign soon after, but that's on the backburner for now, prinny Laharl notwithstanding.

Yezemin: I would love it if this game would find its way to GOG, although I still have my original PS2 copy.

Is there any chance they might also port the sequels? I've never gotten around to playing those.
Voted and +1. Great notice. Sadly i could never finish this game in my ps2, but i loved what i played.

I'd love to see NIS and Atlus both port most of their games to the PC. Odin Sphere, Dragon's Crown, Phantom Brave, ummm... that's all i can think of right now :P

That sounds like wonderful news... I really really really hope it happens :) And i hope they also bring it here to GoG even more.

Awesome! Those games were in my pending list.

You do it the true overlord way – full frontal assault and total destruction.

Whenever I played Hour of darkness the only time I actually needed to grind is to bring non-main characters up to main's level. And that's really easy if you know what you are doing. Disgaea rewards exploiting everything you have. And if you don't grind too much the game can still be challanging in the final batle.
Interesting. Now if there were PC versions of Shin Megami Tensei games...

I remember beating the game at about level 80, which really doesn't take that long. There's also bills to make the enemies easier so grinding is less necessary if you don't care about power-housing.

Although to be truthful, i enjoyed the sequel much more than the original game; Minor issues they fixed, alternate endings, bonus characters, etc. :)

JudasIscariot: I personally hope we get any and all Disgaea games so that way people will be nice and busy playing the game...forever and ever :P
give them an inch and they'll take a (s)mile.

I liked the mechanics of the sequel better, but I have to say, the story of Disgaea hit me right in the feels. It was a surprise since usually I expect from J-SRPGs a story like FFT, Fire Emblem, or Tactics Ogre, which is just "OMG I have angst and will fight the enemy!"

OneFiercePuppy: ...
Well i certainly enjoyed the first story. Felt a lot like going through an anime. Curiously the anime they made references the game but doesn't really give the feel...

The second game's story seemed like it was a lot more cohesive. But it's been years since i beat them both so maybe i'm looking through nostalgic goggles...
Can't wait for nuclear meltdowns around the world caused by the quality NISA products.
