Finally it's over!!

[Gene]

It's been 9 years since Disgaea was released. Finally I just beat this game few mins ago.
The ending was great but not satisfying enough.

I still need to play this >_> I own all 3 versions and yet haven't even started it... How long is it about, anyways?

[Gene]

Actually it's pretty quick. If you ignore all the side quests (Priere, Marjoly, etcs), you can beat this game in less than 3 days. I suggest you to power level laharl in Stellar Graveyard for a bit using winged slayer skill. It will make the stages after that a lot easier.

I went for the extreme and passed stronger enemies bill for 4 times and easily lvled my laharl in Stellar Graveyard to lvl 200. Then I passed weaker enemies bill for 4 times to revert the strength of the enemy to original. After that, I soloed every stage with laharl and defeated Ramington easily.

I was going to start Disgaea 2 until I realized that I got normal ending in the first one because I accidentally killed one of my ally which I don't remember. No wonder the ending didn't satisfy me.

Only 3 days? I sometimes do some side quests, but it depends, and I usually do them to help level. But I guess grinding isn't too bad in the game then...

What version did you play? I'm still undecided with if I want to go with the PS2 or PSP version.

I finished the DS version three years ago, during a trip. Disgaea DS was what made the trip so great.

I played the PSP version on Vita. it's a bit blurry but still enjoyable. It took me about 10 days to beat this game because I was not in rush and had to do other things. I also think that it's possible to beat this game in one day because there isn't much main content to begin with.

I'm not sure about the DS version since I never played it before. But in the DS version, you can recruit Adell and Rozalina when you beat them in the game.

There are a few perks that are on the DS version and aren't on the PSP version, but I'm sure someone got it listed somewhere around here. Either way, I got the DS version because at that time, I had only a DS.

You can recruit Pleinair in the DS version!

@Gene: Which ending did you get? The "true" ending is much more satisfying than the others (though I haven't ever gotten the "bad" ending :X).

That's one. I think the Etna Chapters are DS-exclusive as well.

I got the normal ending which was unintended. I will beat this game again tonight to get the good ending then I might play Disgaea 2 or Devil Survivor 3DS.

@Shizuka
You mean Etna mode?
It's also in PSP version as well.

Got it on GameFAQs:

PSP Version:

- Have no DS version's extended options.
- Have Adell, Rozalin and Zetta fighting, but no recruiting. Pleinair is also not available for recruiting.
- Counter glitch present
- Glitched items present
- No mini-map
- No touch screen
- Good graphics quality
- Good audio quality
- Full voice acting
- Has no Prinny Commentary

DS Version:

- Have DS version's extended options.
- Have Adell, Rozalin and Zetta fighting and recruiting. Pleinair is available for recruiting.
- Counter glitch absent
- Glitched items absent
- Mini-map present
- Touch screen present
- Graphics quality reduced
- Audio quality reduced (BGMs have been completely recomposed)
- Voice acting severely cut down (JP version)
- Includes Nario Wakamoto as Narrator
- Has Prinny Commentary

Still, both versions are great, and deliver the core as good as the PS2 version.

That list doesn't really help me decide :p I mean, I'll probably play them all eventually (why not, I have them all). Do they all have Japanese VAs in them though? I'm guessing only the PS2 and PSP are dual-audio, and I think I want to play it in Japanese (only if all the other games allow the option though).

Just for you, I dug out my DS (haven't charged it in like a year, and it's still at 60%+ battery >_>) and my PSP (haven't charged it in a week and it's completely dead) just to check. Disgaea DS does not have Japanese audio, Disgaea PSP does.

Awesome thanks I'm still leaning towards PS2, now moreso because its probably a good idea to play the base version first, and then do the ones with extra content.
