So I never got to far in Disgaea 2 so I gotta ask. Was Adell Human? Game seemed to drop hints sometimes that he wasn't.

I always found defense to be a really helpful stat in Disgaea 2's postgame. Armor's too weak in Disgaea 1, and 3 and 4 have that stupid skill multiplier system, but since defense actually works like it's supposed to in 2, it's worthwhile to level some armor since you can more or less shut down everything even while drastically underleveled.

On the other hand, speed is still king even in 2. Even if they fix defense in DD2 speed's going to need a solid nerf because it just does so much and works on every source of damage with just one stat instead of requiring you split mitigation between defense and resistance. Defense is better early on because speed requires you to notably outclass enemy hit, but it doesn't take long before you wonder why you're not slamming a ton of speed on your dudes.

So do most people just buff the poo poo out of speed and evade as many attacks as possible?

Shoehead posted:So do most people just buff the poo poo out of speed and evade as many attacks as possible? Yeah by far. With postgame damage numbers its easier to ensure your survival by just not getting hit at all than to try and reduce a multimillon HP hit with high defense.

And it synergizes about as well with Fist and Gun weapons as you'd expect (read: )

The first DLC has been revealed as well. It will be Fuka and Desco,and it will be free at launch for a limited time. While it doesn't seem to be a scenario it seems they will be able to walk around the castle and talk to the other characters like Laharl, Etna and Flonne are able to do. http://news.dengeki.com/elem/000/000/611/611729/ This just seems to scream that they have something planned for those two.

Shoehead posted:So do most people just buff the poo poo out of speed and evade as many attacks as possible? Yeah, full mitigation trumps partial mitigation, especially when you only have to boost one stat to get it. Unless I'm forgetting something speed doesn't have diminishing returns either, which usually keeps evasion in line in RPGs. That said, it's compared to hit so early on it's hard to get your speed high enough above enemy hit numbers to evade reliably. If Big Bang sticks to fists for DD2 then they'll still be useful and guns have always been useful in some way, so speed helps out two pretty notable weapon types as well. It's probably the most poorly balanced of the six stats, but I don't think people are playing Disgaea for a well balanced game.

To be totally fair the main game is usually pretty well balanced. In other news though; Free DLC has already been announced starting with these two scamps Also worth noting that it looks like either the Celestial hosts have a new sprite; or there's a new class entirely in that second screenshot Edit: Oh dammit; for some reason megamariox's post wasn't showing up for me.

1) Monster mounts sound sick as hell. Now I just need to find a movie gimmick to justify an all-mothrider party. 2) I remember hearing that they added male Celestial Hosts (and also female Heavy Knights). Would explain the second shot.

She's riding Desco, you can see her mouth is open because she's in the crouching sprite and her health bar isn't visible. Also there's a select switch option with desco's portrait, for selecting Fuka instead.

If that book Flonne's holding allows her to summon prinnies for an attack, thus actually making them useful in a way, I'm sold on this game. Just like seeing a prinny riding around the home base on a ufo instantly sold me on Makai Kingdom.

While Disgaea D2 sounds awesome for monster mounts and a continuation of Disgaea 1's Laharl/Flonne/Etna story... holy loving poo poo at the ZHP spiritual successor! I LOVED ZHP so damned much, this one's going to cause me to buy a Vita.

Fuckers in homeroom wouldn't let me have a ronin, clearly the only answer is to toss the level curve out of the window and become hardcore enough that I can murder all of them. Then I'll do 4-2.

This morning I did a homeroom for an Archer that got rejected so gently caress it, time for a fight. I remembered something about throwing enemies on to each other and im sure you guess where im going. Cue one lvl 160 monster that I could barely hit. So I did the same to a friendly monster and everyone stopped fighting, so it was up to me to wear it down over the next 20 uneventful turns.

Playing D3V makes me really miss D4's sprites. God drat they were good looking. On the plus side I'm nearing the good grinding map and I cleared Ch 5 which I remember as being pretty awful.

Just started playing D3 after playing 1/2 for a long time. I'm liking it so far, but I spend a disproportionate amount of time stacking everyone up and doing tower attacks... It suddenly occurs to me that one of my favorite things to do on postgame runs of 1/2 on psp was use that cheat code that lets you capture literally anything... This is the first ps3 game I have ever played, I'm not even sure if they make a gameshark type dealy for this thing...

ZHP is getting a sequel? Any news on whether it's less grindy bullshit than the original? I tried to get into the postgame for it, but it was just wayyyyy too much of a slog. Will this one be better? What's it like, anyway? And god dammit now I want to play DD2. PS3 why

I loved it and everything that came with it. "I'M IN DESPAIR!!!!" and all that.

Wow. There seems to be no point in stealing in D3.. at least in the early game. Nobody has anything worth taking, and even if they did my thief still only has 1% chance being nearly twice their level.
