What other sRPGs are they known for? Disgaea is the only big one that comes to mind immediately for me. My preferences are for fantasy style ones though so some of the ones like Robot Wars (and even Advance Wars) just don't have any appeal for me whatsoever.


Well all there other ones are 1-shot games... except for Makai Kingdom.

They all look and mostly play the same... the only difference is you get a new story... which is always great.

Though I think DS wise they just have Disgaea.

As for what I think they will bring to Wii, I'd guess a new NIS game that is just like Disgaea more or less without Laharl, Flonne and Etna playing a major part in the game, though likely making cameos.

They're all good games, basically where they rank depends soley on the story. Gameplay wise i'm not a big fan... there are too many prevailing balance issues between the classes. Monsters are NEVER worth it... which is sad. Cause I like monsters.


Actually, in Disgaea 2, the best way to get a group of 9999 characters is to use a monster trick to level your characters up.

 

Any other way takes far too many hours, and I mean FAR TOO MANY HOURS(like 60 per character) to level to 9999 with stats that match the monster you can level to 9999 in 10.

 

Without using this trick, its nearly impossible to get that first 9999, to match stats with a non monster character.

 

Basically, what I'm saying, is, end game, the most efficient team for time spent in Disgaea for maxing your team is a group of 9999 monsters, and your leader.


Go figure.  I never got into the maxing scene... instead I usually end up creating a never ending chain of characters until I have 1 of each... and by 1 of each I mean... like all 6 varieties of Fighters, Zombies etc and then level them all up to the same level. 

I usually get bored after a while though, as Disgaea has my least favorite battle system of all the SRPGs i've played.

It's like all the others yet something just... i don't know cheapens it for me after a while.  It might just be that you could grind out for infinity.

Honestly I thnk the one thing Disgaea games are missing is online vs play.  The people setting up teams in that would make the Pokemon freaks with their catching so many pokemon for the right traits/growths look like they were playing tic tac toe. 

You'd just need a way other then level to gauge strength for placements and knowing what you were getting in to.  Possibly adding up the total stat points.
