Of course, not attending makes you a honor student, so maybe that's a good thing in this case.
I'm probably one of the few people who wanted a PS3 for what's essentially a PS2 game with high-res sprites, and since I finally got the system, I got the game I wanted to play since it came out.
Hopefully you're at least a little familiar with Disgaea by now if you're reading this. Grid-based strategic warfare, off the charts insanity in both terms of gameplay and characters.
Disgaea 3 takes place in the Netherworld Academy, which educates demons on being, well, demonic.
Honor students skip class, do acts of evil, and are generally bad through and through.
Delinquents are the ones who always attend, do acts of good, and get on the honor students' last nerves.
The senior class doesn't exist, far as anyone knows.
So aside from the setting and story, which I enjoy a lot so far, I'm kind of disappointed in the gameplay.
Aside from the Geoblocks, which work like D1 & 2's Geopanels, except you can throw them and stack them and cause neat explosions, they basically didn't add anything new.
If anything, they took stuff away.
Evilities, skills you have to purchase using Mana, which is usually reserved for passing prposals in the Dark Assembly(now called Homeroom), are a pain in the neck. I miss just getting skills from gaining levels.
Anyway, beyond that, Item World is still fun, and the story is still good.
So is there anything else a Disgaea vet should know about this crazy game? I'm only at Chapter 3, but again, I like where the plot is going, if nothing else.

Disgaea 3 has dropped to $19.99new/$17.99used at GameStop.
Ah well.
Oh, then I guess you DON'T want to know that it'll drop to $14.99 at GameStop on and after March 26th for their Game Days Sale.
Why settle for second best? :P (Hate misuse of "penultimate")
15 bucks!
Is the rest of the game more of the same? Like many, it was included in my original reasons for picking the system up and it's sat on my shelf virtually untouched by myself, and a friend who's even more in the series than I am for the same reasons.
I just bought it a month ago.
I actually found the plot somewhat funnier than the second, but tastes vary. Didn't make many unexpected changes in style after the first few chapters, though.
I really enjoyed the game. I should finish up the DLC and Bonus Bosses sometime, but I've got a shit ton of grinding to do.
And while, the game is great, it can get tedious at times. But the characters always remains great. So I'm always motivated to play the game just to see what'll happen next, or to see what kind of ending I'll get, etc.
Disgea 2 improved the gameplay 10 folds, but the characters just wasn't as charismatic. So I just didn't play Disgea 2 for too long.
I haven't bother with Disgea 3, but at $15.00, I can't ignore it anymore.
Yeah, I meant what I said. I think all the Disgaea games (def 2 and 3) have those important rank 39 items you gotta nab before you can get the final rank 40 items. I'm mostly trying to get all those penultimates before chasing after the last items.
I think I might have dug down for the last sword (don't remember now, haven't played this in a bit) though. Some heavy stabs are good for end game can-opening.
It turns out I'd already found, levelled, and duped an ultimate sword. So I think I might just crank through the Emblem and Fist, and then everything's gravy; I'll just have to decide which characters I want to power up (thinkin' Laharl and the girl who never gets her own video game, because her idle animation looks like she's playing Air Guitar).
First, Should i be considering reincarnation of characters on the first playthrough? Am i suppose to let the levels get sky high so that reincarnation contributes more or can i do it anytime? I've got a fighter thats a friggin beast but i was thinking of making him a heavy knight or warrior but wonder if it would be a waste at his level. I'm on about halfway through the fourth chapter, characters around 23-27th level
Next, how do i make spells have larger Area effects, do i need to upgrade them through the Evilality guy or does the target range get bigger just through usage levels?
Area is increased by using evility I believe.
Also: reincarnation is awesome for NPCs, since they can change classes. It's not nearly as awesome for story characters.
It's cheap but should I bother buying Disgaea 3 if I got bored of 2?
Idolmaster wins, flawless victory, worldwide.
I can't check online, but don't the story chapters cost more than $10 anyway? Because it's the Raspberyl expansion which was an actual expansion over in Japan right? So really the best way to do it would be to just get the game share thing going and get everything. I mean yeah a lot of it is probably useless fanservice, but for $10~ would it be that much of a loss?
I'm not really sure as I've never done it, but it is definitely possible. I think you do it the same way you do game sharing for normal PSN games. I'd read up on how to do it or let someone else be in charge that already knows how if we could get it going. There's a lot of trust involved though, so I'd like to follow Secret Santa-ish rules and say that nobody who registered only this month or something could be a part of it.
And to even share it, all three people just have to have the same PSN account on their console, I think.
