I told you this game eats away at your life.AppleQueso wrote:Disgaea... oh geez what have I gotten myself into?
I honestly can't tell if this game was made for completion addicts or if it was made just to spite them. There is a lot of grinding involved, and every time I think I've caught everyone up in my party, I'm suddenly on a new chapter and all the normal enemies are 3-5 levels higher than I am. Grinding is a huge pain too, as the only characters who get experience are the ones who actually make the final blow to an enemy. This makes leveling up healers and such really annoying, as you find yourself unnecessarily putting them in harm's way all the time in hopes that they'll do team up attacks with a stronger physical attacker and gain some of their experience.
It's a shame, as I think the battle system itself is actually a lot of fun and I love the characters and overall sense of humor, but the tediousness of keeping your party in good shape might be a bit too much for me. I really don't like having to grind in RPGs, and I don't know if I'm just approaching things wrong or what, but this one seems to be all about the grind.
You do the grinding in the item world. There you get to beef up your characters and the bonus freebies of new weapons and armor.
I think the game expects you to do this.
Disgaea is so insane you can actually choose to make the game even harder. Or easier if you are a weak sauce.
These damn games draw you in, and never let you go.
