That I can´t argue against though. But it takes some grinding in Valkyria Chronicles as well. Espacially if you want those Grade A´s to be stuck on every battle and skirmish

And if we´re talking core mechanics, then the gaming industry haven´t seen lots of changes since I started playing games when I was 6 years old :p

Yes, if it´s unopened and you´re not planning on playing it then return it and get a game that you will play. I need to finish P4 so I can start grinding to get Adell and Rozy along with Nekomatas in my classroom

@manga: Aside from the skill and battle tweaks along the way, the core mechanics remain the same and it still comes down to a grind fest to get anywhere. My copy of Disgaea 3 is still unopened and I’ve been thinking about returning it soon. I’m just not feeling it.

@Zeroblade: You could buy it so it can look pretty on your shelf.

Yamcha: You never bothered with learning magichange and dual attacks in Disgaea 3? Or you missed the point you have to learn the skills by using mana?

The mechanics have changed a lot in comparison to Disgaea and Disgaea 2.

But except for your missinformation on the Disgaea series let´s have a look at what you´ve written about VC.

Visual are great: check
Good characters: check
WW2 reference: check.
Sweet story: check.

So, you´ve basically got a hold of everything. Good

I don´t know how much you´ve played so I won´t discuss the ending or such. But man, they need to continue this series. I loved this game so.

And in the long run it might give me a shot at bashing you for caling Disgaea the same game over and over again :p

@omo: This is my pick for RPG of the year. Freakin’ awesome.

@shirokiryuu: The paltry sales make me sad to think there probably won’t be a spin-off. I didn’t expect it to hit a million or anything, but it should have at least hit the 200k mark. The game is freakin’ magnificent. Guess SRPGs have no place in this FPS era…

@Panther: I will Bright Slap you until you repent for your misdeeds. One or one thousand, it’s up to you.

@ron: I slander Disgaea because it’s the same game over and over again sans the story. It’s not like I hate the series or anything. The quirky writing is strong enough to keep me entertained. Disgaea’s mechanics haven’t changed that much over the years though right? Grind -> Transmutate -> Grind -> Transmutate.

Agree that this game is a must have, not many games have story line like this game.. so epic, too bad this game only sold 33k copies in US.. and what's with disgea slander @_@, disgaea is good, the mechanics are a lot more deeper than VC.. ron~s last blog post...1/8 Siesta ~ Alter

Second on the Bright Slapping. It's a great game for anime fans who own a PS3. Must-own for many and must-play for most. omos last blog post...2008 Holiday Shopping List Part 1
