So, with the release of the PC version of the horizon I froze my Disgaea playthrough on the PSP... and started Disgaea 2.
What's a good party composition?
I've heard having one character per weapon type is a good idea. Is it?
Adell and Rozalin are obvious, then I have Male Warrior with an Axe, female Samurai with a Sword, and I'm guessing Etna will be joining my party at some point, so I've reserved the Spear for her.
Gave the Bow to a Thief for now, since I don't have access to Archer yet. But she's not really good with it. What weapons should a Thief even use? Fists?
Also, what about Beastmasters? Are they worth recruiting?
I don't really plan on using any monster units in my party. Aside from the unique story characters.
Speaking of which, are those better than the generics? Is it worth including every single unique character in my party? Can they all even fit?

Just make whatever you feel like, Disgaea isn't really that hard of a series, you can go with whatever, as long as you have fun
You don't need one character per weapon. If it's for the story, just having a balanced mix of melee and ranged is enough, with a healer. If anything, a Thief is a must in D2 due to how broken their status skills are.
Thieves tipically use guns.
Using unique or generics is really up to you. Generics can increase their base stats as you unlock new tiers, and mages/skulls are the only way to learn Tera and Peta level spells. Uniques have their own skills and increase their base stats slightly by reincarnating.
Also since you're on PSP, remember that having a D1 save unlocks the female samurai generic class in D2.

>Also since you're on PSP, remember that having a D1 save unlocks the female samurai generic class in D2.
Yeah, I've mention I have one in my first post.
Does this give me just an early access to the class, or is she otherwise unavailable in the second game at all?
>>319739636
She's otherwise unavailable. Same goes for Rutile and Stella in D4Vita, by having a D3 save around.
Sup dood?
>>319739837
Well, those are unique characters, and samurai is a generic one. Kinda strange to lock it like that.
>>319736663
One good thing to know - Pleinair from DLC is OP.
I cleared with her a lot of additional maps cause of insane range of special and AI not being aggroes.
>>319739959
I don't have the DLC, it seems. I always get the "DL content inaccessible" message or something along those lines when I load a save.
Well, I didn't really pay for the game, so I don't mind that.
>>319740126
you'll need newer CFW with DLC support and download DLC separately.
Google it, not that hard of procedure.
You get like 8 additional characters, mostly cameos from D3, Phantom Brave, etc.
I can't stop listening to Moving On
Etna a slut. SLUT!
>>319740457
why not listen to some White Tiger instead, anon? I know you are my secret shy fan.

>>319740589
I like girls, dood
Finished 5 the other night and felt that it felt fine, but was overall pretty mediocre. Wish the story had been better though
Also the final boss felt very tame compared to D4 and DD2's
>>319740589
I feel so bad for liking White Tiger as much as I do.
>>319740407
I have the latest version (I think) of PRO CFW.
>>319740643
you sure?
>>319741683
>Priest (male)
>>319740891
Well it's the best Disgaea 2 track. Don't feel bad
>>319741315
Can you access this stuff from frimware menu? http://nicoblog.org/psp/guides/how-to-use-dlc-psp-ppsspp/
VSH -> recovery meny -> advanced -> NoDRM to Enabled
>>319742041
Ok, thanks. Although I'm not sure I want to use it, if it's just a bunch of overpowered characters. I also haven't played Disgaea 3 obviously, so I won't really get any value of cameo fanservice either.
>>319742315
it's mostly cameos, every one starts at 100 lvl I think, you need to beat all of them aside of Pleinair to get them, and that is tricky when you start the game. Also you can access them at any point, so can unlock them whenever you feel like it.
Only overpowered there is Pleinair cause of attack range (and cause you get her without having to battle), but it works only for very certain stages.
>>319736663
I wonder if there will be a good modding scene for this game once it releases on steam?
>>319743175
Are those Adell and Laharl fucking up each other in the background?
>>319743175
nah. I heavily doubt it

'fuck did you just say about me you lil' bitch!?
>>319743992
What emotion is Etna's face meant to convey?
What went right?
>>319736663
Thieves are fast and have pretty good accuracy, so their best weapon is naturally a gun.
>>319744334
you might read the doujin if you want to find it out, it's difficult to describe
>>319744497
Beryl a cute
>>319744497
how do you get that one animation?
>>319744507
I don't think speed has any effect on accuracy, hit does. And while they have decent hit affinity, they still have B rating in guns. And fist weapons scale with speed, half at least, so I thought they might be good with those.
They're really squishy for melee combat though, yeah.
Hoping the N1 Trifecta gets ported to PC (or Vita in Soul Nomad's case)
>>319744696
>that one animation
which one? The opening?
>>319736663
Adell turns into a demon and eats his little brother and sister in one ending.
Have Rosalind die.
>>319744795
It's from opening? I've been playing D3 for months, already forgot the opening.
Thought it some sort of unlockable animation clip.
>>319744497
It had a nice post-game and post-game characters. DLC characters that weren't characters recycled from the first 2 games were great
>Aramis
>Revya+Gig
>Pram
>Hero Prinny
I heard D5's post-game is really lame so they could sell DLC scenarios. You basically only getVoid Dark, Bloodis, Majorita and Asagi
>>319744728
Guns calculate off HIT+SPD/2
A thief naturally has pretty high stats in both.
and B in Guns/Bows is the best thieves get.
>>319745241
>Guns calculate off HIT+SPD/2
Is this true for the first two games?
I thought it was (ATK+HIT)/2 for Bows and just HIT for Guns.
>>319745410
Guns calculated purely off HIT in Disgaea 1 but in every game after that they scale off HIT+SPD/2 to balance them with Bows. Guns also had multi-directional fire in 1 but every game after that makes them only fire in cardinal directions.
>>319740407
Most of the Disgaea 2 DLC is busted as fuck which is why they removed them from the store and basically never put them back. Blame NISA being retarded as usual.
As for interesting, Dark Eclair and Demon Lord Hanako are where it's at.
>>319745524
Oh, okay. I was really planning to give her a Gun anyway, after I've unlocked Archer.
There ARE Archers in 2, aren't there?
>>319745592
they worked without slight problem for me.
>want to make a nice balanced team and make the most out of generics
>blaze through story focusing on main characters
>fuck around in the post game focusing on Nisa/Metallia
>rarely/never bother with generics even if they get my dick wet
>>319744497
Mater Bigster
>>319745604
M/F Warriors, M/F Mages,F Archers, F Healers, Magic Knights and Ninjas have existed in every game to date with minimal modifications.
Lady Samurai almost count as while they weren't present in Disgaea 2, they were put in the port. Female Angels are a similar case as they were added in Disgaea 2's port and were DLC characters in 3, 4 and 5.
>>319745592
Serious question though, why is NISA soooo bad at their jobs?
All they need to do:
>replace japanese text with english text
>replace japanese voices with english voices
THAT'S IT. And yet every time they touch a game they leave game breaking, maybe even console breaking bugs in the game.
>>319746107
that happened only with DD2 as far I'm aware
>>319746107
>replace japanese voices with english voices
>>319746142
Disgaea 2 portable's DLC, DD2, Disgaea 4 Portable, Witch and the hundred knights
I'm sure there's more
>>319746282
whats wrong with D4 for vita?
>>319740561
She likes it in the butt
>>319746358
Slowdown in the item world, especially on boss stages, random crashes.
>>319744497
>Mao and Beryl size difference
Tell me that's not the cutest couple
>>319746409
>Etna having even the slightest semblance of breasts
>Cleavage
terrible fan art
>>319746414
wasn't that the case in JP version too? slowdown I mean/
>>319746435
>Beryl's size in general
I never would have guessed she was that tiny just from her sprite/in game portraits. She's like a doll.
>>319746553
I want a cute pic of them trying to kiss and Beryl on her tiptoes leaning in
>>319746514
it's about same as official art tho.
>>319746663
>Disgaea 1 Etna
She's become even flatter.
Like as flat as Lightning's ass flat.
>>319746514
>fan
>>319746654
Val x Artina gets so much attention, but I really do love Mao x Beryl. Childhood friends a best.
What the hell do I do with all these Pies in D5
>>319746775
Disgaea 1 Etna - best Etna.
>>319746860
Val and Artina is pretty pushed quite a bit in game. Mao and Beryl not so much, pretty much I can think of two moments in 3 where's there's something to go on and one moment from Infinite. Mao and Beryl are probably my favourite pairing. I'm pretty sure there was supposed to be something with Laharl and Flonne with the end of D1 but thats pretty much ignored.
If you have DD2, max out relationships between pairings and have some fun and cute convos
>>319747005
>dominatrix
>wears a collar
I am confused.My dick isn't though.
>>319747289
Haven't gotten around to playing D2or even finishing 1. All the other games kept me playing much more easily. I should probably go back to it.
Will the PC version be using the "classic" low resolution sprites from the original or have the HD ones from disgaea 4 onwards?
>>319747502
It's literally a port of the psp version.
>>319747614
probably without DS fixes to gameplay and pleinair. which sucks
