Let's Play Disgaea DS
« on: December 07, 2012, 08:00:03 pm »

I accidentally closed this tab after writing a fancy explanation of the big twist ,so now I have to summarize.
Disgaea is a Strategy RPG made by Nippon Ichi Software, originally made for the PS2, the game received a DS incarnation. We will be playing the DS incarnation.
This LP will be interactive, after the "tutorial" I can create several characters assuming I have the mana. You, the audience can request a character.
Spoiler: Sheet (click to show/hide)

Well, I guess that explains everything so far. I'm still working all of this out. Feel free to ask questions.

Sorry about the "twist", but I'm just allowing character requests now.

Hm, are there any big changes in game mechanics between Disgaea DS and HoD?

In any case, I'll take a Scout, name: Scatter Shark XR.

I will be taking screenshots of battles mostly, You can get voiced cut scenes from you tube separately. Taking Screenies of all the cut scenes gets annoying after a while.
I will post annotations and a few screenies of cut-scenes, just in case you want to know whats going on.
Without further ado, lets get on with it!


Laharl:ZZZZZZZZ
Etna:Prince!
???:ZZZZZZZZ
Lahral:PRINCE WAKE UP
???:ZZZZZZ
Etna:This brat just wont wake up! Well that theres only one thing left to do.

Etna prepares to bust a cap in our ass, right as we begin to wake up.
Etna:Oh prince..heh-heh
Etna procedes to give Laharl(Purple headed guy) the low down on whats been going on since he was sleeping. You might be wondering "Why would she need to do that", well Laharl has been sleeping for TWO GODDAMN YEARS! During those two years two things happened.
Laharl's father, the Overlord(think Demon King), got Iced by...something. The local demon rulers caught wind, and instead of pissing themselves at the prospect of an entity that could kill a Demon Ruler that pretty much rules by force, they bicker and fight over the throne because Laharl went MIA.


Naturally, Laharl is pissed. He decides to embark on a campaign to loot, rob, and figuratively fuck his way to the throne.

Etna decides to tag along.

As weird and emo as he looks, I'll take one for the team by being a Male Healer.

Name : Korbac
Class : Male Healer
Bio : After years of listening to goth music and hurting himself, 'Korbac' engaged his self - pity in a wrestling match and killed it, and decided to become a healer.

You hit the nail on the head with the "emo" desciption. I'll post screens, but that's exactly how the game says healers feel. Healing people is a sin among demons, so male clerics wear spiked robes to "repent" for their job description.
Also, mention what weapon you want to use. Healers are good with Staves and Bows, and have mediocre spear ability.

Dunno if guns are available from such an early stage, or if this is OP or not...

Name: Sirus
Class: EDF Soldier
Bio: Sirus was testing an experimental faster-than-light space ship when it (possibly) malfunctioned and he wound up in the Underworld! The poor guy is now working for demons in order to eat, and hope of returning home steadily fades.
Preferred Weapons: Guns

Yeah, I read the description briefly. Not sure why'd they'd do something if they thought it was a sin, mind you - it would be a bit like me robbing grannies while whipping myself.

As I hear Male Healers are better offensively than Females, I'll take Staves, but I'd rather spend most of my time as a support (as I'm sure you'd play me anyways.) :)

Can't wait to start! :)

Warriors (Male/Female): Melee attackers, they have sword aptitude and either axe or spear for males and females, respectively.

Brawlers (Male/Female): Fighters that rely on their fists. They have better speed (And thus dodge) than warriors but they don't get full protection from armor.

Ninja (Male): Basically brawlers with even more speed; though they get pretty good at axes as well. They also tend to counterattack a lot.

Samurai (Female): Basically a stronger warrior, better aptitudes and have masteries in sword, axe, and spear.

Thief (Female): Essentially useless in combat due to low aptitudes in pretty much everything aside from Hit and Speed. Their main purpose is to steal, which they are the best at (All classes max out at 50% steal rate where the thief can hit 99%). They also can throw characters up to a range of 6 and have the ability to steal stats from enemies.

Mage/Skull (Female/Male): Magic users. The magic they can use (Fire/Wind/Ice/Star) depends on which kind of mage/skull your create (Red/Green/Blue/Star). Prism mages/skulls can use fire, ice, and wind.

Knight (Female): Hybrid melee/caster units; they have an ability where whenever they use a melee attack, they might also throw in a random spell attack. Their aptitudes tend to be a bit lower as is expected of hybrid classes.

Cleric (Male/Female): Healing classes. Practically essential. Not really much more to say.

Archer (Female): Shoots with bows. Bow skills tend to be more impart status effects than deal moar damage; which is fairly useful to an extent. Can also use guns, but is limited in skill.

Scout (Male): Uses guns and has two unique abilities: Dark Cannon and Geo Change. Dark Cannon places a dark cannon which the player can use to shoot at enemies; though watch for ally kills due to explosive damage. While Geo Change randomly generates Geo Blocks/Patterns. Each ability can only be used once per map per scout and Geo change can only be used on item world or already cleared maps.

Majin/Angel: These two classes require multiple level 200/100 classes so we're pretty far from unlocking them. They're as powerful as you'd expect.

Males and females of the same class have slightly different stats. For the most part, males tend to hit harder where females move faster.

One thing to remember about magic users is that they can also use any spells that their "pupils" know (It's basically the only way to get Flonne viable early game). I'll let UV explain that system further.

And then we have monster classes. You gain the ability to make them once you beat them (Beating more makes them cost less mana) or just catch them; and there's way too many to explain here.

We start out with Prinnies, which have low stats all around until they get up in the tiers. They also explode when you throw them or hit them with explosive attacks (Like the aforementioned Dark Cannon).

Of special note are Succubi and Nekomata. While pretty much every other class stands still when idle, Succubi and Nekomata classes tend to err... "bounce" while idle.
