Have you played previous games in the series, Karl? This is my first tentative step into the world of Disgaea and, even though it already feels like things are gonna get pretty complex, the pacing seems fairly welcoming at this stage.
It's my first
Disgaea, and while they were fine I should admit I
err, haven't actually been that big a fan of any of the tactical JRPGs I've played before, like Fire Emblem... that makes my excitement seem silly, but hear me out! I was interested in
Disgaea because I'd heard about its ridiculous depth, great sense of humour, and high level of polish. I'm a huge fan of
Sid Meier's Civilization because it manages to present a huge number of tweakable settings and overlapping mechanics via - crucially - a world that doesn't take itself too seriously. I'm pretty selective when it comes to committing to playing a game through, but when I noticed these traits I find so appealing in
Disgaea I knew I had to give it a go.
It's been a lot of fun so far. Seraphina is great, all the cutscenes have been hilarious, and I like the different personalities you can give your recruits. On the gameplay side I'm enjoying trying new things with the combat to see what works -- the best moment so far was when the game explained "Of course, if you pick up someone who has already picked someone up, you form a tower..."
