Welcome to Gaia! ::

YAY!! 4laugh heart

Not only is it uber-nifty that you won, but your design shirt is my favourite of all the limited "royal" outfits. So double win! whee heart

For the uninformed masses, here is a breakdown of WHY Disgaea is so addictive and why I've spent a little over 750 hours on it (after last recount):

In Disgaea it follows the journey of a young demon prince named Laharl. He's been sleeping for two years and in the meantime his father choked on a pretzel, and died. So, now all these other mean demons want to become the new overlord. Laharl of course, is the rightful heir, and has to fight for it back. After he gets it back there are a number of other things that he needs to take care of.

Here's where it gets addictive:

1) The fighting is awesome. There are hundreds of character jobs and classes, There are like, 7 different kinds of 'Fighter' as well as other classes like Ninja, Prinny, Majin, Rogue, Archer, Bishops as well as being able to create ANY monster that you can fight (except bosses) There are also combo systems where if you have a mentor and his pupils (Character creation is done using mana, which is gained when a character kills a monster, thus, when you create a character with another character, the created character becomes a pupil, and the one that helped create the character is the Mentor.) and you can have up to 4 people do a combo. This helps build the bonus gauge which has cool items in it.

2) You can level your characters up to level 9,999. Yes, Nine THOUSAND nine HUNDRED and NINETY NINE! And THEN!!!... you can Transmigrate them back to Level 1 with INCREDIBLY BOOSTED STATS! By doing so you can max out your stats somewhere around level 30-40 THOUSAND.

3) And this is the number one reason why it's so addictive. Every SINGLE item in the game has a WORLD OF ITS OWN! That's right, by going to the 'Item World' one can level up the item, whether it be a sword, axe, gun, spear, armor, shield, or piece of gum. You also subdue 'specialists' as you level up items, and can move, combine and craft specialists to boost stats as you move them from one item to another. So, imagine if you would, a sword that starts out with an attack of around 100. Each set of levels is 10 levels deep. After 10 levels it asks if you want to go back to the Castle. After going through 10 levels, that sword now has an attack of around 200 as well as boosted Defense, HP, Hit, Speed and other bonuses. Some of these items have 100 levels to them in themselves. And then of course there's the whole matter of like, 5 separate worlds that can be unlocked by going before the senate and bribing/beating the crap out of them to see it your way.

So, yes...if you like Tactical RPGs, you MUST play Disgaea. Although, it is very rare at this point. Or at least, rare enough that you have to try Ebay or something for like, 50-60 bucks to get it.

However, do not fret too much! The sequel, which is a stand alone title, is coming out in August. And from the sounds of it, it'll be just like Disgaea, only even more insane. ^_^

So yeah, I'm happy.

Currently, we're researching a way to make them fast enough and customizable enough to do a full scale Lemmings game to sell to the rich and sadistic.

I do, and I phear muchly.

3nodding On top of it being a really good game, I was so excited that you could go all over the world. I did it just to get the cutscenes. Because cutscenes make me smile. Of course, I ended up doing everything else in the world too, but who's counting? ninja

Cutscenes and bromides. *-*
whee But yeah. I had so damned much fun with that game. I even ran around endlessly in the original Lunar EB epilogue, when there were no cutscenes to collect. gonk heart But I just love the game so much.

In other news, I feel like sheeeeeet. crying I cry now. Worky time.

CRY.
