And yet the game somehow involves the throwing of wee mechanical penguins?

[Suzerain of Sheol]

They're not mechanical! It's the concentrated evilness that makes them go boom!

And, yeah, it's kind of surreal like that. :p

Mood whiplash, I think, is the trope for it?

[Quiet Man Cometh]

I coud have sworn I was talking to DK for a sec there, Sheol. :p

And yeah, I think there is a trope for it.

[Suzerain of Sheol]

You saw nothing!

Also, I haven't played Disgaea since early this morning. That's how much I like Trisphee, can break my addiction to this game. :p

[Quiet Man Cometh]

Maybe trisphee needs a prinny invasion? New event, rid tris of Prinnys! Click them to explode them when you find them, occasonally vintage bundles pop out!

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Brilliant!

...too bad you can't play these games, by the way, I think you'd rather enjoy them. :p

Well, I suppose you could get the first one on the DS.

[Demonskid]

Has laharl appeared in the game yet? ono

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Nope. He probably won't show until the postgame, though I'm sure recruiting him will lead to some amusing scenes.

I kind of like it that way, since he really shouldn't appear in the maingame given that he's so powerful. Well, unless it's like in D2 where he was like level 700 when your guys were 50 or so.

Apparently Zetta from Makai Kingdom is the super boss this time, stronger even than Pringer X, though there's apparently a special Baal DLC...

So far, my favorite character is Valvatorez, the main. I don't if he's naturally really strong or I just baby him with awesome gear because he's the main character, but he could probably solo the rest of my party. They're in their early 60s, he's nearly 90 right now.

[Demonskid]

I wanna play Laharl ono

[Suzerain of Sheol]

I'm not even sure if I'm going to have room for him in my party once I get him. Luckily, leveling to uber levels is EVEN EASIER in this game thanks to a duping trick that lets you clone your perfect items once you make them, so I can probably level up all of the special characters once I make a set of maxed Testaments that have 8 x 300 Statisticians in each. :D

[Demonskid]

I hate the item world honestly ono

[Suzerain of Sheol]

I don't like how using it, at all, during the maingame makes you so overpowered. I have gone into *1* item so far, and now none of the enemies can even scratch me after all the neat gear and levels I gained in there. >_>

[Demonskid]

o.O that doesn't sound like the item world i'm used to..

it takes forever for my characters to level in a world around their levels >< (disgaia 2 ps2/psp)

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Hmm, well, what I did was go inside one of the armor pieces from the store that was the highest rank at the time, so the enemies started off at roughly my level at the time, and were up to over level 100 by the time I had to leave. I was somehow taking them on, even though I was only in the 30s, 40s back then.

Though, they did add a *ton* of stuff to the item world in 3 and now 4 to make it less boring. Random things are always popping out of nowhere to keep you on your toes. Mystery rooms are my favorite, especially the vendor who sells legendary gear. I might have had a ton of HL saved up when I found him. :D

[Demonskid]

I need to get a PS3 >x<

[Serra Britt]

Adding spice to the item worlds is always fun since that's the main place to level up. Crazy/random things happening makes it fun!

As for them being actually evil, that's somewhat of a change. Etna was really the closest thing before and even then she was more of a "I'm evil because it's fun" kind of person.
