What kills Disgaea for me is the endless grinding. Its good but they base everything on you grinding for hours and hours on end wich kills the enjoyment.


Usually the main story doesn't require grinding though (you may need to go for the "side quests" (item world and such) for some xp but using these for the first time is more exploration than actual grinding).

Grinding is mainly for the optional 100% completion.

Grinding on the first one was required, which they seem to have gotten better at in the later games, but the gameplay is still off.  Weapons are so varied in stats that you'll have to waste turns with other characters just to feed weaker characters with kills so they're not severely outclassed.  

The only game that this concept has worked well on, or atleast well enough, was ZHP The Unlosing Ranger vs Dark Death Evil Man.  A rogue like within a Disgaea like world with weapons, armor, and items from Disgaea.  As a TRPG if you don't like the games end game side content with the mass amount of grinding, then it's best to just pick up a different better TRPG.
