Disgaea 3Follow

So get to it, and don't post again until you have a Horse's Weiner.

The first two Disgaea games are pretty rare though, and I'm broke at the moment. I definitely intend on getting them at some point in the future though.

The sprites are good, but they are still sprites. I don't really care to much about the graphics quality, as long as the game play and story line are good, but I've read a lot of people complain about it, which is why I mentioned it. I read the topic on Atelier Rorona last night, and it definitely looks interesting. I'll have to see if I can get my hands on it when it's released. I just need to beat Folklore and FF 12 first, at the very least, before I can justify buying a new game, especially since I don't have much left to finish in FF 12, and Folklore is supposed to be relatively short.

EDIT: Mixed up Atelier Iris with Atelier Rorona.

That's odd really. Most of the time I don't hear people criticize sprites, but rather that the particular disgaea sprites are bad, which I agree with for the most part.



Eternal Mana is the only i've played.

Main character is a mage, which I highly prefer to the typical sword wielding dumbass. There's sort of a love story, 3 person party, turn based fights, 6 PCs iirc, very good character development, decent score, good humor, decent story, and the alchmey is really cool. You break down items on the field maps for elements and make stuff with them, from fireballs to potions to meteors.

Graphics are mostly sprite on pre-render, except the overworld, which is sprite on polygon (and that's a sin, frankly.)

Disgaea 1's pretty expensive iirc, but it's no Marvel vs Capcom 2 or Suikoden II or anything. I think its 35 used at gamestop.

But really, I'd go with the DS version if you can get it. That's probably only 35 new.

I've seen the DS game, but I didn't realize that it was a remake of sorts of the first Disgaea game. I had been wondering how it related to the other games. I'll definitely have to pick that one up when I have the money. I could use more DS games, I've only got FF3 and 4 for it right now.

Personally I don't mind grinding with Tactical RPGs. Each battle is different and requires a different strategy, which makes it less repetitive. This is more true for FF Tactics in my experience so far, than for Disgaea 3, but it's still infinitely better than grinding for traditional turn based RPG's where you just button mash.

Oddly enough, the original Disgaea game for the PS2 is available online at Gamestop's website for $18 used... and the 2nd for 25, whereas the DS version is 30 new and not currently available online nor does either of my local stores have it. Is there much of a difference between the original and the DS version? Playing PS2 games on my high def TV, even with the settings brought down to 480i is kind of yucky, plus I'm going on a 1300 mile road trip at the end of August, where a DS will be very useful, but the price difference is also a factor, even if it is only 12 dollars. Which one would you guys recommend?

I wish i could find someone to buy my copy of Disgaea for the ps2.

I have a re-dub version of the DS game :) Just replace all the audio with the japanese.

Not sure, though they did release it for the PSP back in March, so I wouldn't be surprised if they did a DS version as well since the first one hit the PSP before it reached the DS.

omg dood you are so right! Love the video in your sig by the way! Even as an English major who plans on being a high school English teacher, I love the doods.
