Your first try will probably take no less than 50 hours for the main story unless you use guides which would probably kill your enjoyment that early, more time if you fuck around. It's impossible to say how long it'd take you to finish post-game.

>>13684092

Quite the contrary, you can be awful and you can be great and the difference is huge. You cannot fuck up a character permanently, but not doing it right means you spend many hours more and get worse results anyway. The postgame is about jewing the system pretty much, a good goy who doesn't understand the game's law will not die, but he'll do very badly.

The one on the left (Flanne?) is cute.

Maybe I'll play it for her one day.

Play Trillion: God of Destruction instead, it's better than anything the Disgaea team made at NIS before quitting due to getting supposedly royally fucked by management.

Its a pity that they will never fully utilize Prier again.

game is grindfest but etna is best waifu

>>13685633

From the games I've played 5 has the best gameplay, 1 still has the best story.

>>13685654

Celestial angel is best waifu and her eyelids deserve to be covered in semen, too bad she has no art. At least named angel girls have something but they aren't the same.

Disgaea is a great game, pirate it or get the one published by Atlus. What ever you do never ever give money to NISA.

>JRPGs have bad gameplay and are grindy is what many say.

>Play them and realize that most are actually very easy and don't need any sort of grinding. It's that people are just bad at them and have to resort to grinding instead of actually learning from their mistakes and coming up with a good strategy.

There have been times when I had to help someone beat a boss in a RPG and I did so without even knowing their equipment, spells, team composition, or equipment. It's crazy the amount of mistakes people never learn from.

>Only heals when he's low on health instead of keeping everyone at a high amount of HP so a strong AOE spell won't kill everyone.

>Never uses that really good item because "I may need it for that special moment!". Said moment has passed multiple times and they end up never using it and dying.

>Never defends and is then surprised when the boss targets the guy with low health.

>No sense of proper MP management. Just spam their strongest move over and over until they run out of MP and that character is useless or constantly relying on items.

>Don't prioritize buffs and debuffs. The less damage an enemy can dish out, the less time you're healing and the more offensive you can play. A battle of attrition strategy works against most bosses in RPGs so defense is usually better than offense.

You could just pirate the PSP version. It's very easy to emulate.

>>13687013

Now that I think about it. Is it possible to beat Disgaea 5 at LV 1? The cheat shop does make it so you can't gain EXP if you wanted.

>>13684752

I like Trillion but I still think D4 and D5 are much better.

>quitting due to getting supposedly royally fucked by management.

That was some real horse shit.

>NIS makes a new division or department and sends the Disgaea team their. Essentially their most talented devs who've been there for more than a decade.

>NIS heads give them a paycheck as if they're new because they're technically part of a new division which means they're new employees. So they screw over their own devs.

>They demand their old paycheck. NIS refuses. They quit and go to Idea Factory or Compile Heart.

Since then, NIS hasn't made anything ambitious. They projects have all been much more low budget. It's no wonder they don't give a shit what NISA does. It's ran by scumbags.

>>13687062

It has more characters and Pleinair is nerfed. No other changes besides graphics I think. What's wrong with Disgaea 1 localization anyway?

>Now that I think about it. Is it possible to beat Disgaea 5 at LV 1? The cheat shop does make it so you can't gain EXP if you wanted.

With all the subclasses maxed a character has 1000+ of each stat at lvl 1 so it wouldn't be hard, especially if you take the stat elixirs for up to +10 million. That, or just give a real, non-reincarnated lvl1 character some LoC gear after going back in time at the pirate guy. If you mean real lvl1, then cheat shop is not available until some later chapter, and everything later would one-shot your characters anyway, especially the Sages with crazy range. Maybe time travel makes them available instantly though.

If it is I can see your "fresh" new level 1 characters farming item worlds of bad item with weak enemies like wrinkly clothes until it'd eventually turn into an item so good, it'd carry you to improve another one to make it faster. You'd have to do that many times though. Then once first chara world opens, going to the lowest difficulty with fully "equipped" characters until they have 300% aptitude each and all the chara goodies, so probably 200~ runs each, Might be better to keep on item worlding, unless you use only one character in which case you'll get some stats each chara world kill besides aptitude or shit you want. Just as efficient, if not more. If the items stop working, you must equip wrinkly clothes and try a world of something better or just keep on getting them wrinklier.

The item world key item you level up in main quest had easy enemies, so it'd be the best target for item worlding. Either way only a full-blown real autist would attempt this shit and I can't see any other way, unless you consider getting bad endings beating Disgaea 5.

>I don't want to waste time grinding in RPGs anymore.

>he says as he posts a thread about da grindan game

>>13687770

A star mage and a few story based characters solve like 90% of problems in the game with sheer brute force though. They can snipe any enemy from far away and you can just slap around anyone with Laharl since he's so damn strong. With someone to buff and heal him (or teach him those spells), he can even solo maps.

>>13685558

Yes, but they seemed to completely have given up on her series as a whole. Unless you count Rosen Queen as the thread that connect them all.

>>13683318

Insane grind has always been Disgaea's selling point. The main game starts after the story. And even when getting to max level of 9999 you can reset it, keep your stats and keep leveling up.

>>13695557

Should I even go to the item world before I'm done with the main story?

Now that the original Disgaea team is gone, does NIS even have the talent to make another Disgaea game? They've innovated the game every time they made a new one. I would imagine a new game would mainly just be reusing old ideas and not adding much new, creative stuff.

>>13694749

There are plenty of characters who don't have enough art in general. Female Archer does get some art though.

>>13700767

No, you don't need to at all. You can steal better equipment constantly with every new map you go into. I would steal so much I would sell a ton of equipment to gain tons of money/HL, upgrade the store multiple times, and then end up with some pretty high tier equipment. Saying that, all the best gear you'll only get from stealing or bonuses.

Can anybody tell me the source of vid related because it sounds so much like Laharl's theme that I got to know what movie this comes from.
