Need some amazing help with weapon (and armour) conquesting in Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days...

How the heck do you get the rank 40 items again and what are their names?
awp
You get Rank 40 items by Item Worlding legendary Rank 39 items and stealing the drop from the Item God 2 that dwells within

I haven't played Soul Nomad, but I have an image of it somewhere, I believe. The only NIS game I've played that I didn't think was good was the one where Zetta was the main character - Makai Kingdom, I believe it was called. That game was kind of bland imo.

Soul Nomad looked interesting, even though Laharl was almost completely absent from it. He was like 2 lines of dialog.

Fan of the series reporting in. Never heard of Soul Nomad though. But anyways Etna rocks!
awp
Etna looks best in an afro

The anime... well...
What do you guys think?
awp
it was alright but suffered from being an anime

NIS games have amazing voice actors/voice acting, but when anime are dubbed, they usually don't bother editing the video itself so the non-native VAs need to speak to the animation rather than having the animation animate to the VA, so the voice acting is a bit choppy and feels unnatural
Quaraezha
I agree, NISAmerica Games did have splendid English voice acting for a Japanese Game.
Even though some are for gags and good in a funny way. They're still good.

Although


Salvatore from Disgaea 3 though
I'm not sure if I should be happy about her English voice.
I just don't feel it.
adam2046
I got the anime for free, so I'm not complaining.

I've never been a fan of dubbed anime/games with the original source being from Japan so my opinion is a little biased since I highly disliked the majority of the voice acting, it just felt too...forced? I think is the word I was after.
They didn't seem to fit the roles how I tried envisioning them to.
Thimeeh
What's all this? Disgaea: Hour of darkness didn't have japanese voice option. So I had to listen the few first convos in english. My ears started to bleed almost immediately and I lost a fair amount of hair. Then I gained control and went to options to disable the voice. Played the whole game like that. But this is just me I guess.

Disgaea 4 release date 4 days away.

It's so close!

Haha, I preordered and have the game in my hands right now. Brb losing 200+ hours of my life.

This 200 hours you speak of is a worthy commitment. It's no "Loss" by any sense of the word :)

It's very difficult (For me) to go back and play 1 after playing 2, and 2 after playing 3. There are certain features that make gameplay much quicker in each sequel. If you want to try the whole series, start with 1.

If you want to know how it plays as a whole, try 3 or grab 4.



Oh, and I know it's not a "loss" technically, but then I'll start over from scratch again in the future and use up another 200+ hours. (I did that twice in D3)

Forgot about the remakes. Yeah, any of the remakes/rereleases should be fine for the earlier games.
Ivalset
If you're going to play the earlier games, just play them for the story mostly then move on to the next one, assuming that's cost-effective for you.

If not, just start with 4, since it's guaranteed to have the best gameplay by far.
awp
I am happy to see they've apparently chosen to expand on the pirating stuff. Though Disgaea 3 allowed you to pirate pirate pirating pirate pirates so I don't know where you go from there.

SPOILER
Fuka's Second unlockable Evility: "Prinny Annihilation" - Increases Fuka's stats by 20% for every prinny defeated on the map.

Combined with these strategies I already use:

Use level 1's as sacrifices normally.
Use prinny charaters as level 1 sacrifices normally.

The Evility works on all prinnies killed in any way on map. Including allies.

I've finally found a main character I'm going to level up past 100 for non-ending purposes. That evility is just amazing.
awp
that's pretty significant, especially for Prinny Sports levels
LadySuburu
Custom Level creation is a bit limited even though I enjoy it. Hopefully they'll patch it back up to JP standards in the future. I've also only tried the base allowances they give you without any online play. (Planning to do online stuff only after I've beaten the game.)
LadySuburu
Prinny explosions don't seem to qualify for the evility. Only when one is killed by either an ally or an enemy. I guess "Defeated" is more specific than I thought. (Still an amazing evility.)
Topic Starter

That's a bit of a shame, I quite like tossing prinnies around just for the heck of it, especially after you've got a mildly leveled prinny as well into a nice cluster of enemies.

Ah well, Fuka's turning out to be an awesome character I'll be looking forward to using as a main-party character.

The only thing I'm sad about is her low SPD stat. It means that if I want her dual-weilding mega-nekomatas, I'll have to do a lot of aptitude grinding.

Oh, and monsters have TWO passive evility slots, for a total of four when fused together. (I fully expect the damage to break a quadrillion this time around, with that "Forever Counter" geoblock and other things I've seen.)

Technically, it goes to 20 counters max. They specifically limited it to that to avoid breaking.

They just named it forever counter because most units will die by the end of that exchange.
LadySuburu
To anyone playing the game who wants free CP (For map editing) - Pirate Duel with LadySuburu at around rank 12 (at time of posting.)

I've got my units set to sit still, you should get a decent amount of CP (Up to 999) once per day.

lol, yeah. I saw that review. That was bad.

News flash: Disgaea games are for Disgaea fans

more succinctly, Nippon Ichi games are for Nippon Ichi fans.
lukewarmholiday
The reviewer basically said, this is an SRPG, with an SRPG camera, and with a lot of depth to its SRPG elements so if you dont like SRPG's you wont like this game.

1-10 rating scales are stupid because the only things that qualify as 9-10 are 5 hour long ultra hyper streamlined games because they supposedly cater to everyone.

A large portion of great games this gen are mostly 8's and low 9's.
Pokebis
I don't understand why they attacked the difficulty and threw out the word complex all the time. I always thought Disgaea was one of the easiest, simpler SRPGs I've played.

Some people don't know how easy it is to grind in this game, really I want to be an asshole to the reviewer but seriously what is the average gamer let alone SRPG player gonna think about disgaea if he doesn't know all the ass random mechanics and just how stupid damage gets in the game. He's gonna try to play it normally and tactically and suddenly a boss 20 levels up appears and beats his ass.
Pokebis
I never had this problem and I always did my first runs guideless. I always felt like the game held my hand, but maybe that's different elements than what other people perceive.
awp
Item World can be a bit vicious early-on, but overall the game is quite easy (until the Land of Carnage in Disgaea 3, anyway). Oh, some of the Dark World puzzles in D2 were really tough, too. Just a massive time-sink of pure joy.

I never use a guide when playing Disgaea games. I sometimes look at the Steal formula, but that's about it. I don't know whether to call it overwhelming or unnecessary, but I've never seen any value in it. I don't want maximized stats because they cap at 20 million, and I can figure out on my own how to break the 11th digit when doing damage.

I'm currently trying to continue holding #1 on the Map Editor rankings.

I'm nearing the end of the main storyline, so I'm about halfway to a third through the game now.

It's really going up and down atm - the main plot is just dragging and dragging, but the infighting is occasionally quite enjoyable. D4's cast is rather decent. I mean, the gossip circle trio are kind of lame, but they bring out the best in Fenrich, so I wouldn't complain.

wait did you do the thing cyclone did where you die in the battle against fuka

on another note, I just fought Etna. I wasn't even half her level (nor her army's) but still won due to a superior strategy (the second time)

The resulting bitch-fest is awesome

It was emizel, not fuka. And as i said, i fucked up in a way that resulted in me losing all my useful people in like turn 2. Then i didn't realize that was a save screen instead of a load screen.

Desco's better than Fuka

Just got to Laharl. I took down two of his minions but once he dual-wielded two Magichange Dragons his stats broke 6 digits and I was like yeah I'm not gonna win

my party averages about 1/5 of his minions levels so it was a bit much

Yeah no.

Desco's amazing, but Fuka's even better. People just don't understand how to use her.
awp
Desco's evilities are so stacked. I get something like a 150% stat boost from her Evilities alone and her uniques are leagues better than Fuka's. I never used monster classes in any of the other Disgaea games but she's one of my favourite characters.

Not to mention it'll be nice to take advantage of Magichange with her around.

I got my level 40 valvatorez in my first run up to about 5k attack on the avirus final map because of desco, I love desco.

Also apparently stat caps on weapons are fairly low(compared to what it would be if they werent capped) so fist weapons are the best weapons in the game because of the speed.(basically swords have a lot of spillover stats that get capped and arent used, while fists can hit the attack cap while having the speed)

Got my money back from the place I supposedly bought Disgaea 4 from which never showed up after a bit of emailing to and from...

Left with a decision I didn't bother with before: Do I get just the game by itself, or do I get the premium edition?
I can get the game for AU$57, premium for AU$65.

Anyone else get the premium edition?
awp
The soundtrack is great. If shipping wasn't like, 15 dollars, I would have pre-ordered it for that. Well, assuming I was clairvoyant and knew the soundtrack was that good. Since the premium edition also comes with the soundtrack, I'm tempted to recommend it. The figurine that comes with the premium is Fuka, right? She's probably my least favourite - next to that Thief Angel, perhaps - but eh, ymmv

I'd prefer a Flonne figurine, because Flonne is so awesome in Disgaea 4
Dieathan
While I do like the Disgaea series, I still haven't even beat the first one on PSP. Mainly because I've been too busy with other stuff to bother. And yet I still have to deal with Dissidia duodecim Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy X-2, XII, XIII and VII. Oh well, I'll get to the Disgaea 4 eventually.
Azure_Kite
Personally I think you're putting a little too much emphasis on playing Final Fantasy.

It's probably unhealthy.

So far I've got a lv 30's party; I'm at the beginning of Chapter 5. I just wanna slap Emizel. Desco and Fuka's relationship is adorable, and if I hear another Iwashi joke I'm gonna scream.
awp
I did the first post-postgame mission. It was very easy thanks to MoO 4 and a level 72 Fradarach (or whatever the highest-tier pre-pirating sword's called). Party was cranking out over a million damage a turn. Gonna have to Mana Grind to get to the next level though :(

Adell was pretty OP in Disgaea 3. He has a unique S-level attack which is fire elemental. I used that for the majority of the post-game until I got a sword that cranked Laharl's stats.
lukewarmholiday
But yeah outside of those 2 axel is 3rd best.
awp
X-Dimension is a bitch in Disgaea 4. I've already hit 2 maps where my current party couldn't possibly win, due to certain tricks being necessary (Throw 7, Petanque Evil Aura). Not as straightforward as it was in Disgaea 3.
lukewarmholiday
Make a slime for throw 7, or do you actually need THROW 7.
awp
A slime is good enough. I have a slime tier 4 atm. With MoO4 unlocked you can level them pretty quickly. You don't actually need to level them, but you need to run down a ~30 tile path with obstacles so you'll also want to invest in some BarefootX or Accelerators.

Actually, I get excited everytime Fenrich calls someone a bitch.

What a guy.
Bestelle
Considering that she's the only Prinny that retained her original form(with a hat) I don't blame her for thinking it's just a dream. Although she does get pretty annoying, also, what kind of dream lasts that long?
I still like her, though.
Ivalset
"Final Episode: Magic Knight Valvatorez etc etc..."

No wonder Valvatorez owns so much, he's secretly the best class in the disgaea series.
