Disgaea/Makai Senkai

[The Red Mage]

fffffffffffff I love these games

Games in the series so far:
Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (PS2/PSP/DS)
Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories (PS2/PSP)
Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice (PS3)
Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero? (PSP)

Disgaea 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTaEf9OMeZY
Disgaea 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVrzEQ4Ou98

Prinny: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSz1zxA6d5Q

The Disgaea games are like Final Fantasy Tactics/Fire Emblem, but there are plenty of differences. The level cap is 9999 (not a typo), stats can reach into the billions, you can level up items, you can create your army, any character can learn ALMOST everything (monsters can't use weapon skills, and humanoids can't use monster skills), multiple endings, and New Game+.

But don't worry, getting a character to LV9999 takes less time than leveling up to LV99 in say, Final Fantasy, or making the perfect team in Pokemon. This is because there are tons of tricks to make leveling really easy and quicker. Second, hardly any grinding is needed for the main game, however, the post-game dungeons will require your level and stats to be stupidly high. However, leveling is actually fun, compared to Final Fantasy or Pokemon where it's just tedious.

As for the Prinny game, it's a platformer, but it's like the old-school platformers in the fact that it's really really crazy hard.

The games do not take themselves seriously. There are some dramatic moments, but there's hardly a time where something goofy isn't going on.

If that doesn't convince you, then you can have lolis to go with your SRPG:

or girls with insanely-huge tits that'd make tifa cry

THERE IS NO IN-BETWEEN

I has these games already. Well, one and three, at least. WHY DOES ALMAZ LOOK LIKE ASH FROM PHANTOM BRAVE WTF.

 

[The Red Mage]

maybe this should be the general nippon ichi thread

but I haven't played the other nippon ichi games

but I am getting phantom brave for the wii



still say it should of been named "wii meet again"

 

[Alessa Gillespie]

Sounds like a fine idea to me, being a NI fangirl.

 

[The Red Mage]

Nippon Ichi has also created other SRPGS. La Pucelle Tactics is like Disgaea, but it deals with religious themes, and it stars a busty girl named Priere, who shows up in the Disgaea games as a difficult-as-fuck boss. Think of her as Omega or something, but with tits. Really big tits: http://hg101.classicgaming.gamespy.com/nipponichi/prier.jpg

Phantom Brave is another, you play as some lolicon who busts ghosts or something I don't know

Makai Kingdom is where you play as a LV2000 Overlord...who's soul is trapped in a book and his empire destroyed. So you have to rebuild it.

Soul Nomad is apparently a depressing-as-fuck story. It's pretty similar to Ogre Battle






can a mod change this thread title to "Nippon Ichi"

 

[Joker]

Bah, Nomad's not depressing at all.

'course, I'm not that far into it, so I could be wrong =/

NIS makes good fucking games. I really want a PS3 so I can get D3 ;_;

And someday I'll finish up the postgame for D2, finish the main game of PB and La Pucelle, and continue playing Disgaea for PSP, because I really want Etna Mode.

La Pucelle Tactics is part of the dimension Rhapsody was in, a game which I enjoyed. *played the original PS version*
