Disgaea on the PS2 showed me a lot.
1. It taught me that penguins were excellent fodder in battle. -grumble-stupid penguins--grumble
2. A space jock actually was a good character to have on your side.
3. Most importantly it honed all of my turn based skills to a science. I remember having problems playing through some of the RPGs I had at the time, FFX, .hack, ect.
I was at a point where I had actually stopped playing them until I picked up and played Disaea for a month or so. I remember coming back and wondering why the hell I had a problem in the first place.
All I have to say is Disgaea is more of a skill enhancer, than a game.
And I can't wait to get my hands on this one for the PS3, hopefully a few months before Final Fantasy 13 comes out. Cause god knows I'm going to need some training before going into that one.
Any other Disgaea fans out there cause at times I think I'm the only one who ever played the game.
