This thread has been linked to the game 'Disgaea: Hour of Darkness'.
I noticed that a lot of people have been talking about this game recently and I thought that it would be good to have your opinions of it. Lalakersrule says that he has clocked up 800 hours on it so either it is very very addictive or Lalakersrule is extremely sad. ;-) Anyway, I was looking through the latest issue of Official Playstation Two Magazine and I saw a preview of it and to my horror it only had a quarter of a page when GTA: San Andreas had six pages on it! So I looked down and saw why. 2D graphics!!! I know that it has sold millions in Japan and other countries but I never thought that it would have Two-dimesional graphics. I am not saying that graphics are the most important part of a game but I expected a game that had sold so well to have at least half-decent graphics for god's sake. But I still think that after so many good reviews there is quite a large chance of me buying it when it comes out over here.
So what do you guys think of it? I don't want people saying stuff like 'oh yeah, it sounds good'. I want people who have imported it to give me a first-hand review and help me out.
Thanks in advance,
Wakka.

What i did was get about 7 different classes and concentrate levelling them up and giving them decent items. Then once your others are levelled a fair bit you can concentrate on the other 3 as it'll be easier then to level them up as you can just make them do combos with the stronger characters and level up real fast. Just today i transmigrated Laharl for about the 15th time and went to the Cave of Ordeal 3 map. Killed one of the enemies there and shot up 79 levels.

No way, sprites rule most efficiently.
The Dark Assembly proposals are hilarious.

Well, thanks a lot, break it to me gently.
Just levelling up now (I suppose this phrase sticks for just about any time, eh?).
Is it a good idea to get 10 people as soon as possible?
I've got 8 right now - trying to get my cleric up to a half-decent level so she doesn't die any time anything touches her.

Yeah! 2D RPG's rule!
If only they'd stop making 2D fighter games...
